April 17, Thursday, 8:35 am.
Fujiwara Yu, who should have been at the Metropolitan Police Department at this time, was unusually standing at the Port of Beika with a suitcase waiting for the ferry. He raised his watch from time to time to check the time, until the late figure appeared in his field of vision, his frown relaxed.
He was always quite serious in front of his subordinates, and he was also a person who valued time. After seeing the other party finish eating, his tone was inevitably filled with a hint of blame:
"White, what's the reason for your lateness? If I hadn't moved up the agreed time by ten minutes, the ship would have left now."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Clare. Last night I..." White, wearing a newsboy cap and casual clothes, lowered his head in frustration. He wanted to make up an excuse to get away with it, but remembering his boss, Clare, was an expert lie detector, he had to tell the truth: "I recently met an avid fan of Yoko Okino. We chatted for a long time on Line and accidentally ran out of time, which caused me to wake up late."
Fujiwara Yu hadn't expected White to be so fond of Okino Yoko. He rubbed his temples with a headache and waved his hand to indicate that this wouldn't happen again. After all, he hadn't delayed the mission, nor had he lied to him. There was no need to be harsh; a simple reminder would suffice.
He looked up at the bustling group of people boarding the ship. It seemed that there were not many people traveling with them.
"Mr. Clare, I checked before I left. He didn't cancel his ticket. He probably didn't think we were investigating him." White leaned close to Sosuke Takagi and whispered.
Fujiwara Yu nodded and picked up the ticket in his hand. The destination column was clearly Yueying Island.
Ever since he learned that Sotaro Goji was also related to "Moonlight Sonata", he asked White to keep a close eye on the other party to ensure that they could get first-hand information when Sotaro Goji went to Tsukikage Island next time.
Moonlight Island, "Moonlight Sonata", Keiji Aso.
What kind of connection do these three have with Goji Sotaro and the deceased Shimokawa Yosuke? I hope this trip can unravel the connection, otherwise he will be at a loss if he uses two precious days of vacation.
They boarded the small cruise ship on time, which could not accommodate many people. The sound of the whistle made Fujiwara Yu cover his ears. The first thing he did after boarding the ship was to buy a can of latte from the vending machine. After relieving his sleepiness, he did not choose to stay indoors, but went to the deck at the stern, trying to use the sea breeze to dispel the last bit of sleepiness.
"Mr. Claire, would you like some kebabs? Although this ship isn't very good, the chef's skills are quite good!"
Fujiwara Yu looked up at White, whose cheeks were puffed up like a hamster, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: Sometimes this guy really doesn't look like an excellent CIA agent. He looks like a single-celled organism with strong limbs and a simple mind.
His eyes fell on the skewers in White's hand. Having finished his breakfast, he politely declined:
"No need. You should eat a little less too. Consuming so much protein for breakfast is not easy to digest. Besides, these skewers are quite greasy and will put a great burden on your stomach."
"Well, I won't eat anymore after I finish these."
Fujiwara Yu leaned on the railing of the deck, closed his eyes and planned to rest for a while, but a familiar voice woke him up instantly. After seeing the three people, two tall and one short, he had the urge to turn around and jump directly into the sea.
Why are they here? Moon Shadow Island isn't a famous tourist attraction, so why are they here?!
That’s right, the people who came were Conan Edogawa, his beloved sister Ran, and Kogoro Mouri who always gave him two punches.
"Dad, you're so mean! If it weren't for the kindness of the staff, we would almost not be able to go to Yueying Island!" Mao Lilan said helplessly while carrying a backpack. She had never been to Yueying Island, so she was very interested in this unfamiliar island.
Maori Kogoro, with a cigarette in his mouth and his hands in his pockets, complained unhappily:
"Tsk, I'm not interested in Tsukikage Island at all. If that guy hadn't forced me to wire the commission fee, I could have gone there to enjoy the cherry blossoms and drinks under the moonlight. It's all the fault of this guy named Aso Keiji. Does he even know the rules? How can there be a client who forces sales?"
Keiji Aso?
Fujiwara Yu and White both showed surprised expressions after hearing the name. The former quickly gave him a look, and the latter also very tactfully held the skewers in his hand tightly and chose to go to the restaurant to avoid suspicion for a while. He couldn't let Claire's identity be exposed because of his own reasons.
In order to get clues about Aso Keiji, Fujiwara Yu smoothed the wrinkles on his suit and took the initiative to step forward and say hello:
"Mr. Maori, Ms. Maori, and little Conan, I didn't expect to meet you here by such a coincidence."
"Brother Yingsi!"
Conan Edogawa's eyes lit up. He had no interest in the small island, but when he saw Sosuke Takagi, he had a premonition that he would soon run into something big. No, this idea was not good, bah!
"Hmm? Officer Ying Si didn't expect such a coincidence. Are you traveling to Moon Shadow Island alone?"
Kogoro Mouri immediately became respectful. He always respected the police, and the rank of the young man in front of him was higher than when he was a criminal policeman. Every time he saw him, he would have a subtle feeling as if he was seeing his superior.
Mao Lilan looked around and made sure that she didn't see Miyasaka Asami before she asked doubtfully:
"Mr. Takashi, aren't you coming with Ms. Miyasaka this time?"
"Well, I did come here with her, but who knew she chose to study new products with Ms. Enomoto at Polo Café and was unwilling to come to Tsukikage Island. But I had already booked the hotel and boat tickets, so I had to come alone." Fujiwara Yu pretended to be very regretful, even a little jealous. It must be said that his acting skills have become better under the training of Kudo Yukiko.
"So that's how it is. Miss Miyasaka really loves her job~" Ran Mouri covered her mouth and giggled. Sometimes she felt that Sosuke Takagi was very distant, but every time he mentioned Miyasaka Asami, that sense of distance would disappear. Love is really magical.
Fujiwara Yuu didn't intend to waste time on small talk, he went straight to the point:
"Mr. Maori, why did you suddenly want to come to Moon Shadow Island? Did you receive a request from someone?"
"Hahaha, Officer Takashi, you are really smart. I did receive a commission from a man named Keiji Aso. To be honest, I didn't want to take it. After all, I... cough cough." Kogoro Mouri didn't continue. He couldn't say his little thought of wanting to drink out loud. He still had to keep a positive image in front of the younger police officers.
Unfortunately, Fujiwara Yu had already heard everything.
"Oh? Can you show me the letter of commission?"
"certainly."
