"Yes, they are friends from Dongdu!"
Makoto Asai smiled in response, but in his heart he thought to himself, "He is indeed from Tokyo, but whether he is a friend is another matter!"
"That's rare, Dr. Honesty! A friend is coming to visit you. You should bring them to my shop later. I'll cook my specialty seafood dishes for you!"
A middle-aged man who runs a seafood restaurant extended a warm invitation, clearly having a good relationship with Makoto Asai.
"Good~"
Makoto Asai nodded with a smile:
"Mr. Abu, I'll take him there at noon. You must use fresh seafood!"
"of course!"
Boss Abu patted his chest and laughed heartily:
"To entertain Dr. Honesty's friend, of course we should use the freshest seafood. I'm going out to sea now, and when I come back at noon, I'll show Dr. Honesty and your friend the live, freshly caught seafood!"
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Abu!"
Asai Makoto watched Abu leave, his gaze falling on a couple walking from the ferry to the dock.
The man was tall and handsome, wearing a gray casual outfit. His slender figure stood straight, and his unique temperament made him very eye-catching!
The woman had long blonde hair, fiery red lips, and slightly heavy makeup on her pretty face, exuding a refined and alluring charm. She wore a sexy white shirt and short skirt, and her captivating figure was equally eye-catching.
A woman dressed in a sexy outfit is holding hands with a handsome man, chatting intimately. They look like a couple with very different personalities but a harmonious relationship!
Asai Makoto's eyes narrowed slightly.
This could very well be Officer Natsumi Akiyama from the Metropolitan Police Department, the one who called me last night!
However, judging from the obvious makeup on the woman's face next to him, they must have come to hide their identities. Should we go up and greet them?
at this time.
The man, who was laughing and saying something to his girlfriend, suddenly turned to look at Makoto Asai and winked at her with a smile!
Makoto Asai sighed.
They recognized me at a glance, so it seems they really know everything. What is there left for me to worry about?
A faint smile appeared on her pretty face.
Makoto Asai went to greet Natsume.
"Xia Ye, it's been a long time!"
As he walked up to Natsume, Asai Makoto greeted her with a bright smile, as if he had really met a long-lost friend. He portrayed that feeling of slight unfamiliarity but mostly joy very well, and even Natsume secretly praised him!
Having finally met Makoto Asai, Natsume couldn't wait to find out her weakness!
First, look at her neck.
Tall and graceful, fair and slender.
You can't even tell he has an Adam's apple.
Then I looked at her chest; the curve was quite pronounced, she had a great figure and nice curves, but it's possible that it was padded!
As for the long legs wrapped in jeans and..., there were no masculine features to be seen. If Xia Ye hadn't known beforehand that this was a man, even he wouldn't have been able to tell Asai Makoto's gender!
Top-tier cross-dressing masters are truly terrifying!
"Xia Ye, is there a problem?"
Asai Makoto, feeling the intense gaze of Natsume, lowered his head shyly. This girlish gesture made Natsume's heart flutter, and she exclaimed that she couldn't take it anymore. This was too womanly!
"Ahem, no problem~"
Xia Ye's mind flashed with the captivating images of beauties like Yukiko, Ran, Ai, Akemi, and Suzuki Tomoko. Then, looking at Asai Makoto, and imagining that she could even pull out a cannon, she finally calmed down and smiled, saying, "Makoto, I haven't done any planning. I'll have to trouble you today!"
"Okay, come with me~"
Makoto Asai, wanting to quickly take Natsume and the other girl home to find out what was going on, led them toward the Moon Shadow Island Clinic.
"Honest Doctor, are you trying to steal my business?" An old man at the Moonshadow Island Visitor Center poked his head out, teasingly smiling.
"Old man Yamaki, forget about your service fees. You're even trying to rip off Dr. Honest's friends, aren't you!"
Before Asai Makoto could speak, the surrounding Moonshadow Island residents began to tease him openly, though their tone suggested it was mostly joking, indicating that old man Yamaki was quite popular on the island.
"No way!"
Old Man Yamaki feigned grievance, took out an exquisite bag, and said, "I just prepared gifts for the visitors. How can I give them to Dr. Honesty's friends who don't come to the visitor center?"
"Heh, you're smart to know what's good for you!"
...
At the clinic on Moonshadow Island.
There were few residents around, since the clinic was not open and this somewhat remote place was basically deserted for the time being.
Holding a round fan printed with photos of Moonshadow Island's scenery, Xia Ye smiled and said, "The residents of Moonshadow Island are all very warm and kind. It's rare to see such a commercially developed island like this~"
"Hmm~"
Asai Makoto nodded and said softly:
"Most of the island's residents are very kind. I've worked here for two years, and they've all taken good care of me."
"That--"
A malicious glint flashed in Xia Ye's eyes:
"Honest Doctor, do you really think these kind residents are completely unaware of the evils hidden on this island? They've lived on this island their whole lives, and they don't know anything about the fire twelve years ago or the separatist trafficking group that's been on the island for the past twelve years?"
"..."
Asai remained silent, his expression blank.
How can this be?
Even she, who had only been on the island for two years, had seen small boats sneaking ashore at night in the middle of the night. How could the local residents not have noticed anything?
but--
In fact, this is nothing.
It is human nature to seek advantage and avoid harm. It is already quite good that those residents did not join the Kuroiwa and Kawashima groups. Even if they did not expose the crimes, Asai Makoto could not morally condemn them!
"Sorry, I was just being cynical."
Xia Ye smiled slightly and began to ease the atmosphere:
"Although I've already introduced myself, I'll do it again. I'm Natsuha Akiyama, a temporary worker for the Metropolitan Police Department. I'm here on Tsukikage Island to investigate the drug trafficking ring on the island."
"This is Officer Sato Miwako. Of course, we need to conceal our identities right now. Dr. Honesty, you can just call her Michiko."
Natsume introduced Sato Miwako to Asai Makoto.
Sato Miwako greeted her with a smile, and out of trust in Natsume, she didn't feel there was anything wrong with revealing her identity as a member of the Metropolitan Police Department.
Then--
Xia Ye glanced at Elena, who was floating around her, but in the end, she didn't dare to introduce her to Asai Makoto.
last night.
Natsume and Yukiko are both at a crucial moment.
Elena, however, walked through the wall and ran into his bedroom.
Feeling awkward under the strange looks from the mother and her two daughters, even Yukiko, who had become quite thick-skinned, felt incredibly embarrassed. She wrapped herself in the blanket, blushed, and went back to her room.
later.
Elena stayed in Xia Ye's room and refused to leave.
Ai and Akemi had no choice but to stay as well, fearing that the human and the ghost might do something irreversible in the middle of the night on a whim!
As a result, Xia Ye experienced a scene he never dared to imagine before. Although the scenes from those hentai anime didn't happen, the stimulation was enough to keep him awake at night!
And then wait until morning.
Just as Xia Ye was about to leave, Elena clung to her again. Xia Ye had no choice but to take her along; after all, no one else could see her, so she figured she was just bringing her out for fun.
Makoto Asai cannot see Elena.
She looked at the two Metropolitan Police Department officers in front of her, her expression somewhat complicated. The Metropolitan Police Department only sent people when she wanted revenge. Where were they before? Thinking of this, she was filled with resentment again!
"Then why did you come to see me?"
"Of course I'm here to get information from you!" Xia Ye said earnestly. "Our Metropolitan Police Department doesn't know any specific details about Moonshadow Island, such as the size of the smuggling group, its personnel composition, and its hiding places. We need to find out all of these things before we can take any action."
"I don't know much about any of these!"
Asai Makoto wasn't lying. She only knew that two big shots on the island were involved in pro-independence activities, but she didn't care about the specifics. After all, her plan was to kill people, and since they were about to die anyway, she didn't need to know too much about their crimes to disgust herself!
"It's alright. Dr. Honesty just needs to show us around and explain the situation on the island (Zhao Liaohao). We'll find out the rest ourselves!"
Natsume looked into Asai Makoto's eyes:
"Also, Dr. Honesty, can you tell me about the fire twelve years ago, and about your family members who died in the flames?"
“You really do know!”
Makoto Asai gave a wry smile:
"It seems I underestimated the Metropolitan Police Department. But why are you asking these questions? Do you want to reopen a case from twelve years ago?"
I think you've misunderstood.
A hint of apology appeared in Xia Ye's eyes:
"Given the capabilities of the Metropolitan Police Department, they would never have thought to investigate a 'suicide case' from twelve years ago. They probably wouldn't even be able to figure out the connection between that arson case and this pro-independence group on the island. This is just something I wanted to investigate myself!"
"Why!?"
Makoto Asai was puzzled. The Metropolitan Police Department wasn't investigating anymore, so why was he still investigating? What was his motive?
"It's because I'm still upset about it~"
Xia Ye sighed softly.
While the ending of Moonshadow Island played a significant role in Conan's personality change throughout the story, Natsume wasn't entirely satisfied. After all, it was a bit of a shame that a beautiful "young lady" died.
"you......"
Asai Makoto's pretty face flushed red, as if she understood something. No wonder she always felt that the police officer's gaze was a little strange. Could it be that he—
She's taken a liking to me!
Chapter 139 "Moonlight Sonata"
On the streets of Moonshadow Island.
Makoto Asai takes Natsuha and Miwako Sato on a tour of the not-so-large island.
"This is the village's community center~"
Makoto Asai pointed to a building that occupied a considerable area and introduced it: "The village chief election on the island is coming up soon, and the third anniversary memorial service for the former village chief, Mr. Kameda, will also be held here in a couple of days!"
"Isamu Kameda?"
Xia Ye asked in a low voice:
"Is that the guy you scared to death, one of the murderers who killed your father along with Kuroiwa Tatsuji and the others?"
"Correct!"
Asai nodded honestly.
She had told Xia Ye everything, even her murder plan. Although she didn't know why she trusted Xia Ye so much at their first meeting, her intuition told her that she had done the right thing!
"That's really too good for him!"
Xia Ye sneered. If it were him, he would be extremely unwilling to die so easily after killing his family's enemy. He should have died in more agony!
Natsume's words surprised Makoto Asai. Although she did think so, that Kameda Isamu died too easily, Natsume was a police officer in the Metropolitan Police Department. Could she really say that?
Makoto Asai glanced at Miwako Sato again, and seeing that she didn't react to Natsume's words, he felt even more puzzled. These two police officers seemed different from the Metropolitan Police Department officers he had ever met!
Let's go inside and take a look!
