When the ship arrives at Moonshadow Island, when Mori Kogoro inquires about Keiji Aso’s residence, Minamoto Kiyomori is almost certain that the detective has received the same letter as him. It’s just that the detective doesn’t have a lot of channels to get information, and he doesn’t know that Keiji Aso is a person who died more than ten years ago.

Therefore, when the people of Tsukikage Island heard the name Keiji Aso, they all showed an inexplicable expression of horror and shock, as if they had heard something terrible. And through the narration of the islanders, it is further confirmed that the name Keiji Aso seems to be synonymous with ominous to local villagers, and that the incident twelve years ago seems to be a curse to the local residents of Tsukikage Island. Keiji Aso was a well-known pianist after all, but his death is really bizarre.

Although Maori Kogoro may have come to the island for the same purpose as himself, Minamoto Kiyomori did not intend to go with him. Didn’t the Twilight Police Department say a word before, with Maori Kogoro joining the case, everyone feels as if they are walking through a maze, and it is impossible to expect this person to provide you with a thought, he will only get worse and worse!

Minamoto Kiyomori was going to visit the mansion that Keiji Aso had set fire to twelve years earlier, and although so much time had passed, there might not be any valuable clues worth using. But whether it’s to investigate the case from twelve years ago or to figure out who sent the letter, you have to sort out a clue first.

Although Tsukikage Island is a small island in the Izu Islands, it is still under the jurisdiction of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. Therefore, Minamoto Kiyomori was about to ask the village chief of the island for some more information about the incident, and when he passed a clinic, he happened to see a young and beautiful female doctor in a white coat explaining something to a child, so Minamoto Kiyomori walked straight to her.

“Excuse me, do you know where the village chief of Moon Shadow Island lives?” After the female doctor watched the child run away, Minamoto Kiyomori walked directly to the female doctor.

“You are?” The doctor who heard this looked at Minamoto Kiyomori curiously, and then said, “Are you looking for the current village chief or a candidate for the village chief?” ”

The female doctor’s words made Genkiyomori a little puzzled, and at this time, a car with a megaphone slowly drove over and shouted: “Shimizu, Shimizu Masato, please vote for Shimizu Masato…”

The female doctor looked at the vehicle that had just passed by with some helplessness and said helplessly: “This island is about to hold the election of the village chief, so it is not uncommon for this kind of thing to happen during this time.” The first candidate was the one just advertised, Mr. Masato Shimizu, the current fishermen’s representative. The second candidate is Mr. Kuroiwa, who is the current village chief but has recently lowered his evaluation. Another candidate is Mr. Kawashima, the island’s largest bourgeoisie, and he has received the most support so far. ”

Looking at the female doctor who was talking, Yuan Qingsheng was a little speechless, and immediately couldn’t help interrupting him: “I’m sorry to interrupt first, I’m not a resident of this island, and I didn’t interrupt here, so I have no interest in the election of the village chief, I came to the current village chief to understand some things.” ”

“Oh, if you’re looking for the current village chief, he’s in the civic hall right now.” The female doctor pointed in the direction and said to Genkiyomori: “After turning around the corner in front, just go straight to the end.” Tonight, there will be a ceremony at the Civic Hall for the third anniversary of the succession of the former village chief, Mr. Kameyama, so if you go now, you may encounter the three candidates for village chief that I just mentioned. ”

Hearing the female doctor’s words, Minamoto Kiyomori said thank you and followed her instructions to the civic hall of Moon Shadow Island. From a distance, I heard the shouts of a crowd, and when I got closer, it turned out that a group of people gathered in front of the civic hall with flags and banners loudly protesting, and what they said was nothing more than opposition to what the current village chief did.

Minamoto Kiyomori couldn’t help but shake his head, “This island is still eventful!” ”

At this time, a man in a suit with a slightly chubby face and a pair of glasses came out to communicate with the demonstrators outside, and from his words, it could be judged that he should be a close friend of the current village chief. The man in the suit meant nothing more than to dissuade these demonstrators, but his words did not seem to have much effect, and the demonstrators became even more indignant.

After observing for a while, Minamoto Kiyomori walked up to the man in the suit with glasses and said, “Sorry to disturb you, I am a police officer of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, I have something to ask your village chief, Mr. Kuroiwa, can you take me to meet him?” ”

“The police … Vigilance? Yuan Qingsheng’s words made the noisy group of people suddenly quiet, and the man in the suit was even more shocked and looked at the police card that Yuan Qingsheng took out, his expression reaction was a little too much, so that Yuan Qingsheng couldn’t help but be a little suspicious.

Minamoto Kiyomori put away his police card, and then spoke: “You should be the secretary of the current village chief, so please inform Mr. Kuroiwa, don’t make me wait too long.” ”

Looking at Minamoto Kiyomori, who had taken the lead in walking away, the man in the suit woke up, and he didn’t care about these protesting crowds at the moment, but hurriedly chased after him and led Genkiyomori to the lounge very respectfully. The protesters gathered here were also very shocked after hearing Minamoto Kiyomori’s words, and immediately did not protest loudly, but gathered together to discuss in twos and threes.

For the people of this small island, the police are quite high-ranking officials, and the status is not comparable to that of the village chief of Moonshadow Island, not to mention that this small island is still under the jurisdiction of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. Therefore, at this sensitive time of the village chief election, what did such a big man come to Moon Shadow Island for, which is really curious!

The man in the suit who came out to negotiate with the protesters was Kazuaki Hirata, and the current village chief’s secretary quickly arranged for refreshments to be served while confessing to Minamoto Kiyomori, and then hurriedly ran to report to the current village chief.

In the conference room of the civic hall, Kuroiwa, the current village chief, his daughter and unmarried son-in-law are watching through the windows as they gather outside to protest. When he saw Hirata Kazuaki hurriedly pushing the door and running in, the proud and dissatisfied village chief’s daughter Kuriwa Reiko immediately said angrily: “Hirata, what is going on with you, why didn’t you persuade the group outside?” ”
