After Noel figured out Masashi's idea, he was completely confused, but soon he realized that the script was quite good.

In this way, if Natsukawa Sora accidentally exposes Ikaros's affairs or is involved in the organization and is suspected, this script can be used!

After all, in the script, Xia Chuankong looked quite innocent. For various reasons, Noel didn't want the people on the red side to think that Xia Chuankong was a bad guy.

"Anyway, there's a lot of water behind them, and it may involve high-ranking police officers, so if you tell the police that I told you, they may also receive the intelligence..." Noel emphasized again, looking at the other party's obviously shaken expression, and realized that the other party should not mention Xia Chuankong's affairs to the police.

After all, in the eyes of Masanobu, if it was revealed that Natsukawa Sora was Ikaros, the other party would most likely be taken away or even die. For such a good person, this way of keeping silent is far more effective than threats.

Inwardly, he felt disgusted with himself for being so skilled in moral kidnapping, and then he added: "I don't really care, but I still have a younger brother, he is my only family..."

Obviously, as soon as these words came out, the other party, not to mention wanting to call the police, started apologizing with a guilty look on his face.

"Sorry," Masashi was stunned for a moment. His mood was extremely complicated but he didn't know what to say to comfort her, so he could only say softly.

"There is actually another way," Noel knew the Broken Windows Effect very well. Although it didn't matter if he didn't do this, he wanted to give it a try. "They should leave the island soon. Even after the police sealed off the island, they must have arranged other escape routes in advance."

"If your identity is discovered, you can tell them that Ikaros told you. I will forge a letter for you."

"Now that they have left, the subsequent investigation will most likely focus on Ikaros, and they will not do anything to you."

"But Ikaros is you!" Asanari couldn't help but say, but he found that the other person's eyes were unusually calm.

Noel sighed, showed a sly look, and said with a slight smile: "They already hate Ikaros, so they don't need this."

Ikaros was put on the organization's wanted list. Noel thought to himself that in order to ensure the authenticity, he should use this identity to sell the organization's member lists to a few people tonight to attract hatred.

After some thought, Conan focused his attention on the suicide case of the Aso family twelve years ago.

He looked at the suspects being questioned. They were all vague about what happened to the Aso family twelve years ago. The villagers seemed to be panicking. Finally, someone couldn't help shouting:

"Is it really Keiji Aso who has come back for revenge?"

"He is indeed dead." The policeman on the island was quite old, with gray hair and glasses, and he looked like he had experienced a lot of ups and downs.

"The bones and teeth found at the fire scene were compared and confirmed to be from this family."

"Everything was destroyed except the sheet music which was in the fireproof safe."

"Where are they? Where are those music scores?" Kogoro Mouri and Inspector Megure asked immediately.

"In the warehouse." The old policeman didn't realize the seriousness of the matter and thought calmly: "The key to the warehouse is in the police station."

"Why don't you bring it over here!" Officer Megure shouted, "Hurry up!"

The old policeman hurried out, and Conan immediately reacted and followed him.

Xiaolan was helpless and had gotten used to it. She turned to look at Noel who was sitting next to her and asked softly, "Brother Kong, are you feeling better?"

"Well, it's nothing." Noel was stunned for a moment, not expecting the other party to suddenly ask this, but then he reacted and looked at Ma Chengshi.

"Don't worry, I'm a doctor." Masashi said quickly after receiving the other party's gaze, but in fact no matter what he said, the other party was determined not to let him see the wound. He had no idea what the other party's physical condition was like now, but it seemed that the face was not so pale at last, which made him reluctantly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Xiaolan, you don't have to worry about Conan." Noel looked at him and thought of Conan who had just suddenly run away. He couldn't help but sigh that he was so ungrateful for what he had. He decided to help him. "He is very smart and will surely be able to find a lot of clues."

"I know, he looks a lot like Shinichi," Xiaolan chuckled, and suddenly remembered something and her face darkened, "But Shinichi, that bastard, was almost in danger because of these things when he was a child."

"With his personality, he probably won't back down even if he encounters danger," Xia Chuankong looked at the other party busy with the case and couldn't help muttering, "How dazzling..."

"What did you say, Brother Kong?" Xiaolan didn't hear clearly and couldn't help asking.

"Oh, nothing. I just suddenly thought of it. I might as well find some time to scare Conan." Noel said with a smile in his tone, thinking silently that the Moon Shadow Island incident that was changed this time, without the fact that Masashi committed suicide by playing the piano in flames, made the protagonist change from an ordinary smart man who simply pursued the pleasure of solving cases into a real detective, and made him understand that the world is not black and white. Although with his personality he will understand this truth in the end and grow up, he still feels a little guilty for missing the opportunity for his growth.

In this case, why not just scare him today! Although it won't help him grow, it will be good to make him be a little more restrained!

"Anyway, let's all go back now," Officer Megure said, having just received the news. "An officer found a pistol on the beach, which means the possibility of another attack is very small."

"Xiachuan, you?"

"I'm not going back yet, Officer Megure." Natsukawa Sora suddenly said, "Dr. Asai wants to stay and take care of me, so I'll accompany her."

"Oh," Officer Megure obviously misunderstood something, and turned around to continue looking for clues with other police officers. This made Xiachuan Kong feel a little emotional. After all, if it were other police officers, they would probably stop and shift the responsibility in order not to offend the other party when they found that the black forces were involved.

More than an hour later, Conan and the old policeman finally came back. He looked solemn and then looked at Masashi.

It seems that he has found it? Noel thought silently, this time there is no case to disturb, Conan took the key and went to look at the sheet music, and found the words "for my son to come true" written on it, so what's next......

"Officer Megure, I want to go take a look at the piano!" Conan glanced at Dr. Asai with a complicated expression, and then quickly ran to the crime scene. It was obvious that what he just said was just a notification and not an application for consent.

"This kid..." Inspector Megure sighed helplessly. Why does he look so much like Brother Kudo? Fortunately, all the evidence at the scene has been collected, so it won't have any impact.

Conan checked the piano by himself. Relying on his height as a freshman, he got under the piano and pushed and knocked open a secret box. A little white powder slowly floated down. He subconsciously dipped his finger in it to try to determine what it was.

"It's heroin, don't touch it." A voice came from behind, stopping Conan from taking action.

"Brother Kong, how did you know?" Conan recognized the voice and turned to look at Noel, only to see him standing at the door with a cold expression. The black hair on his forehead slightly covered his eyebrows, and his tall figure made him look a little dangerous.

"How far have you come in your reasoning?" Noel did not answer. Instead, he walked forward a few steps, slowly squatted down, and asked.

"I have noticed the evidence carried by the deceased before. Secretary Hirata Kazuaki had a large amount of foreign currency on him. Add to that the drugs in the piano. I speculate that they were conducting drug transactions in this way."

"I see. Then what?"

"I investigated the pianist Keiji Aso. He often performed overseas and used this piano." Conan said slowly: "And he was said to have committed suicide at home twelve years ago, along with his wife and daughter."

"They must have killed him because Mr. Aso didn't want to help them anymore and they wanted to silence him."

"That makes sense. Then who do you think killed them?" Noel smiled softly, the green in his eyes was blurry. He looked at the detective in front of him and was completely unguarded.

"For now, the one with the most motivation should be Aso Keiji's child, the one who escaped twelve years ago, his son named Cheng Shi." Conan sighed and said:

"Dr. Asai's name should be pronounced as [yuzhong], not [weizhong] as it is now."

"That means you think Dr. Asai is the murderer." Noel responded softly, his tone calm.

"Not sure. The traces of crime at the scene clearly show that it is not something that can be done by one person. Besides, how did he get the loot..." Conan said of the doubts. There were too many unreasonable places and too few traces at the scene. It was difficult to solve it by reasoning alone.

"Conan, have you forgotten that I stayed at his house last night?" Noel reminded.

"Brother Kong, you?" Conan tilted his head subconsciously, as if he was being cute, looking very adorable.

"I was called to the island by Chengshi, and I also know about their drug transportation." Noel stood up and looked at the protagonist whose expression was frozen in front of him. Suddenly, he understood the fun of teasing Conan. No wonder so many fan fictions...

"Conan, you are now alone with the biggest suspect." Noel closed the door the moment he entered the room. His tone was calm, yet with a hint of danger.

"It's not you, Kong." Surprisingly, the detective was not scared for long. After a moment of silence, he said seriously, "And it's not Masashi either."

"As a detective, are you not suspicious because you know me?" Noel asked curiously. Could it be that just a few encounters would allow the other party to cast a friendship filter over him? That would be a bit boring.

"No, because..." Conan just finished his words and suddenly rushed over. This made Noel unable to react due to the drugs. He retreated a few steps and leaned against the wall before he could barely catch the other person.

"Why did you suddenly jump into my arms?"

"Brother Kong, you are indeed very weak now." Conan looked at him levelly in Noel's arms. He could feel that the arms around him were a little looser than usual, and he really had no strength now.

"Well, a little bit." Noel could only respond. The reaction of not taking the medicine was real weakness. It was still morning and he could only walk with difficulty at best.

"Put me down." Conan said hurriedly. He just wanted to confirm his guess and had no intention of letting the weak Natsukawa Sora hold him to gain weight.

"Let me hold you for a while. You're a little cold." But Noel made up an excuse and continued to hold her. The warmth coming from her small body made him feel dazed.

"So the murderer is not Asahi?" Conan noticed the pleading in the other party's tone and stopped struggling, but asked softly.

"Well, no," Noel said.

"But what should you know?"

"I'll tell you later." After Noel said that, Conan calmed down and stayed quietly in Noel's arms. He obviously didn't doubt the other person's words, nor was he wary at all.

The other party's reasoning was wrong, Noel thought silently, without Masashi's involvement, he alone would be able to handle them, which was not in line with common sense.

By the way, was he the only murderer who had concealed the truth from the protagonist and had not been brought to justice? Noel was too lazy to think about whether there were similar situations in the comics. He just felt a little complicated. He knew that he could have concealed the truth, but the other party thought that it was impossible for one person to accomplish it. He was physically weak and had no motivation. These points were all due to the information gap between the experiment and the drug.

But it's still quite exciting to hide the truth from the protagonist.

He looked down at Conan, and met those deep blue eyes, which were filled with trust and some helpless doting. He hugged himself resignedly, as if he thought he was not feeling well and wanted to comfort himself.

I'm sorry, detective, I'm the winner this time. Don't worry, in the end, although there is no guarantee that the murderer will be brought to justice, he will definitely get what he deserves.
