Chapter 306 The Beginning of Moonlight

"But what?"

Upon hearing Zhi Shi mention this matter, Wang Changsheng's brows immediately furrowed.

A request, a commission, a musician?

For some reason, when these words were put together, Wang Changsheng suddenly had a premonition.

"But the musician's name sounds a bit strange to me," Tomoyo added, frowning. "He's a great pianist, incredibly talented, and I know a lot about him."

"A pianist?" Wang Changsheng's premonition grew even stronger.

Could it be...?

An answer had already formed in his mind.

Tomoyo nodded and said in a soft voice, "His name is Keiji Aso, I don't know if you know him."

Wang Changsheng fell silent.

How could he not know such a familiar name?

only……

Why would he make a request to Tomoyo's mother?

These two should be completely unrelated.

After some hesitation, he nodded slightly and agreed, "I have heard about it."

It just smells a little off...

"So, did the Moonlight Incident actually happen on Moonshadow Island?"

Wang Changsheng felt a little confused.

With Conan around, the timeline can no longer be used as a normal standard of judgment.

He couldn't even be sure whether Keiji Aso was alive or dead.

Wait a moment.

Tomoyo just said that the name is a bit strange, why is that?

He raised his head.

Before he could think further, Tomoyo spoke first: "Since you've heard of him, Chōsei-kun, you must also know that Mr. Asō passed away a long time ago, right?"

Wang Changsheng frowned.

The thing I was just struggling with has now been answered.

Keiji Aso is dead?

So who is commissioning Yuanmei Hair Salon now?

He looked up at Tomoyo.

The other party was clearly aware that he was thinking about this issue.

She pursed her lips. "Feeling something's off, don't you?"

In Wang Changsheng's gaze, Zhi Shi's dark purple eyes now held a strange expression.

"Mr. Aso has long since passed away, so he couldn't have been the one to send my mother the letter of request. Then who was it? Why would this person ask my mother to go to Tsukikage Island, and what was their purpose?"

Zhi Shi seemed to have a lot of questions in her mind, but Wang Changsheng couldn't answer them either.

Even Tomoyo didn't know, how could he possibly know?

However, one thing that puzzled him was why Tomoyo's mother was willing to go through all that trouble to come over after receiving the letter of authorization.

As Tomoyo said, her mother knew that there was a musician named Keiji Aso, but it was impossible for her not to know that Keiji Aso was dead.

Although this is a character from the Conan world, judging from Tomoyo's reaction, he should be considered a fairly famous person in the music industry.

Since there is no barrier between the worlds, everyone knows that such a person exists and is aware that the person is dead.

It's really puzzling that someone would make a whole trip just for a single request.

"It's impossible that Tomoyo's mother came here just for tourism, right?" Wang Changsheng stroked his chin and began to ponder.

"Or rather, travel was actually one of her purposes."

With one hand lightly tapping his chin, Wang Changsheng looked down at the enormous ship beneath his feet and suddenly asked Zhi Shi, "I haven't asked yet, does this ship have a name?"

"Huh? So it's called Daidouji?" Tomoyo blinked, tilting her head as she said, "Didn't I introduce it?"

"...Maybe I've already introduced it." Wang Changsheng's lips twitched.

Daodaoji number?

This name must have been given by Tomoyo's mother when she bought the ship, right?

"Do you know what it was called before your mother took it?" Wang Changsheng asked.

"I don't know about that." Tomoyo shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

"Alright." Wang Changsheng then asked, "Does Zhishi know what was written in that letter of authorization?"

"As for this, Mom didn't let me look at it in detail. She just briefly told me about the trip. But I glanced at it and saw what was written inside. I vaguely remember it." This time, Tomoyo nodded.

However, her words made Wang Changsheng's eyelids twitch involuntarily.

"What do you mean by 'glanced at,' or 'roughly remember'?" Wang Changsheng seemed utterly speechless.

Can you memorize the contents of a book just by glancing at it?

Is this even possible...?

Wang Changsheng glanced at Zhi Shi.

"Forget it, he's a director after all. It's just a matter of having a photographic memory. What's so difficult about that?" Wang Changsheng comforted himself. "With my current intelligence, if I look at it a few more times, I might be able to remember it too."

"What does it say on it?" Wang Changsheng stared directly at the girl in front of him.

Let me briefly repeat it.

Chiyo pondered for a moment, then spoke softly.

"Distinguished guest, I am Keiji Aso."

I would like to extend a heartfelt and warm welcome to all of you.

If you could appear, perhaps you could purify this island filled with sin.

I firmly believe that you are capable of doing it.

Here, I make a request to you.

As the next full moon approaches, shadows will once again begin to disappear from this island called Moonshadow.

I implore you to investigate the cause…”

At this point, Zhi Shi paused, looking at Wang Changsheng who was staring at her with an expectant expression, as if waiting for her to continue.

She smiled sheepishly: "I only saw this part. I didn't see the other half. My mother had already put the letter back in the envelope, so that half was covered up, and I didn't see it."

Wang Changsheng: "..."

News: Negative aspects of Wang Changsheng +999

He was speechless, but there was nothing he could do.

It is truly remarkable that Tomoyo could memorize so much information with just a glance.

He can't ask for too much.

Judging from the content provided by Zhishi.

He also roughly knew who had sent the letter of request to Tomoyo's mother.

At this point, Moonshadow Island has likely already entered the storyline.

The person who issued the commission also used phrases like "you" in the letter.

The letter was usually sent to one person at a time, and the recipient didn't know who it was. Wang Changsheng boldly guessed that in addition to sending the letter of entrustment to Zhi Shi's mother, he must have sent it to other people as well.

As for who issued the commission...

Wang Changsheng's eyes narrowed.

If the story has really begun, then this person is probably Keiji Aso's son, Aso Nami.

"Or perhaps, Asai Narumi?"

For a moment, Wang Changsheng couldn't help but think of someone even more womanly than Xiaolan's best friend, Suzuki Sonoko.

"The Moonlight Murder Case..."

This case is quite classic in Detective Conan, so Wang Changsheng's memories are much more profound than others.

He also remembered the details of the case more clearly.

Having learned all this, let's turn back to the contents of the letter of entrustment that Tomoyo had just mentioned.

Wang Changsheng immediately understood the meaning.

"He wants to purify the evil on this island, and hopefully the person he entrusted can stop him." Wang Changsheng frowned. "It seems he's about to make his move, on the night of the full moon..."

Thinking of this, Wang Changsheng suddenly realized something else.

"Is Conan about to appear?" Wang Changsheng squinted and grinned.

According to the plot, this is not some bullshit letter of entrustment at all; it is clearly a murder threat.

Since there was a murder threat, it's highly likely that Edogawa and Kogoro Mouri were also invited.

Wang Changsheng boldly speculated that the probability should be 99.9%!

"I was planning to visit Conan after returning from Moonshadow Island, but now I don't need to make a special trip to see him."

Wang Changsheng smiled inwardly, "It's been so long since I had a proper conversation with him. I really miss him."

Seeing Wang Changsheng deep in thought, Zhi Shi couldn't help but ask, "Changsheng, what are you thinking about? What's your plan for this letter of request?"

Hearing Zhi Shi's voice, Wang Changsheng snapped out of his turbulent thoughts. He stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and finally decided not to tell Zhi Shi these things directly.

He needs to figure out some things first.

Thinking of this, Wang Changsheng raised his head and continued to communicate with Zhi Shi: "I do have some ideas, but rather than seeing this as a letter of entrustment, it's more like a preliminary announcement."

"A notice?" Tomoyo didn't react much, just nodded slightly and tapped her little head.

Clearly, she had thought of what Wang Changsheng said and quite agreed with it.

"As for the specific content, I think it's probably something the client wants to do. I don't know much else. After all, you haven't seen the following content, so I can't speculate," Wang Changsheng said casually.

Suddenly, he changed the subject again, asking, "But Tomoyo-chan, you know that musician and pianist Keiji Aso has passed away, and it's been quite a while since then. Doesn't your mother find it strange that the client sent a request to her under that name?"

Tomoyo was also a little confused about this issue. She frowned slightly and touched her camera with her fair fingers.

It seemed that this action brought her great comfort.

"My mother didn't react much. I later asked her indirectly, and she knew that Mr. Keiji Aso had passed away. When I asked her, she told me that perhaps his descendants invited us in his name."

Tomoyo paused for a moment, then said, "Mom doesn't seem to find anything strange about it, but I always feel that she probably has more to consider."

At this point, Zhi Shi glanced at Wang Changsheng: "Mom isn't a reckless person. There shouldn't be too much danger there, otherwise she wouldn't have taken us on this trip. I firmly believe that."

"Of course, of course, that's for sure." Wang Changsheng nodded, not denying it.

Although Tomoyo's mother may seem a bit carefree, if you underestimate her, you'll only end up hurting yourself.

Unlike Ran's best friend Sonoko Suzuki, who is genuinely naive, Sonoko Daidouji is the behind-the-scenes boss who controls the Daidouji Group and is also one of the heirs of the Amamiya Zaibatsu family.

With such a powerful background, and having made her Daidoji Group so successful and powerful, she must have used many ruthless methods.

She definitely has her own judgment.

If he believed that traveling to Moonshadow Island was extremely dangerous, Wang Changsheng had reason to believe that even if she brought everyone else with her, she would not allow Zhi Shi to come and take such a risk.

This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!

There's nothing to deny about that.

So from Yuanmei's perspective, this request to come to Moonshadow Island might not mean much to her at all.

There are two possibilities.

One possibility is that she genuinely didn't take the murder threat seriously at all, and that she had another reason for coming here.

As for the other possibility...

Perhaps she genuinely found it interesting and was simply drawn to it, plus Xiaoying and Wang Changsheng happened to be on holiday for the next couple of days, so she invited them to come and play for a couple of days, without thinking about anything else...

While that's a possibility, judging from the feeling he got from Sonomi, it probably wouldn't be that simple...

Right?

"Should we tell Sakura and the others about this?" Tomoyo looked at Wang Changsheng, seeking his opinion.

Wang Changsheng thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "Let's not talk about it for now. Maybe all this nonsense is just our guess. Actually, we're just here for tourism."

"If that's the case, telling Sakura and the others these speculations will only create more unnecessary trouble."

Wang Changsheng concluded: "If you ask me, let's stick to the principle of 'if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move,' observe the situation, and see what happens. Let's just treat this as a real trip to have fun, relax, it's nothing, I'll take care of everything."

Wang Changsheng patted Zhishi on the shoulder, and immediately felt a warm sensation in his palm.

Tomoyo's body seemed so soft and boneless; she simply patted his shoulder, and the sensation from her palm was quite pleasant.

"I understand." Tomoyo nodded. "Then let's listen to Chosei-kun for now."

Actually, she didn't really want to tell Sakura about this.

After all, it was her mother who took the initiative to invite everyone to come and have fun.

If there are any problems, it wouldn't be good if people misunderstood my mother.

But if she didn't say anything, Tomoyo always felt a vague sense of unease.

So she told most of what she knew to the person she thought was the best person to confide in.

That is, Wang Changsheng.

With Wang Changsheng's assurance, her slightly uneasy heart calmed down immediately.

"In that case, let's go back first." Tomoyo's lips curled into a calm and gentle smile again, and she slowly raised the camera in her hand, her expression gradually becoming indescribable as she looked at Sakura.

"I'm going to continue recording!"

As Tomoyo finished speaking, she moved away from Wang Changsheng and returned to Sakura's side.

"Eh? You two have made up your minds?" Sakura was the first to speak when she saw Tomoyo return.

"Yes, yes, I've already spoken with Changsheng." Tomoyo nodded repeatedly, snapping photos non-stop.

Tomoyo couldn't contain herself any longer after only a short while of not recording Sakura's figure.

After Zhi Shi arrived, Wang Changsheng also slowly walked over.

Looking at her retreating figure, Wang Changsheng's thoughts were not as relaxed as he claimed.

"There are still many things that are not right, Zhi Shi's mother, or rather, the Tian Gong family..." Wang Changsheng fell into deep thought again.
