"Ximu! Are you there? If you are there, open the door! There are some things to talk to you!"

"Xi Wood! Xi Wood!"

No matter how old patrol inspected and shouted again and again, there was no response in this dilapidated yard that no one had cleaned and cleaned at first sight.

"Did this kid go out to stroll again? Why don't we come here tonight? This kid must be there at night!"

"This...well!"

Kogoro Mori, who had not seen the key clue, could only sigh and choose to follow the advice of the old patrolman. However, just as they were about to turn around and leave, there was a sudden sound of a bottle falling from the room.

"Mr. Ximu has a cat or a dog?"

"Of course not! He was going outside and was going to eat!"

"That..."

Although he is a little old, the old patrol officer obviously has no Alzheimer's disease. He obviously understood what Kogoro Maori said.

So the old patrolman turned around and patted the Ximu family's door again.

"Open the door! Ximu! I know you are at home! Open the door for me! Boy, are you afraid of my old bone? If you don't come out, I will continue to take pictures here! Let everyone get to know you again! Ximu!"

Maybe it was the seniority and identity of the old patrolman, or maybe it was because he was afraid that his neighbors would chew some tongue. Ximu House, which had been shouting death but no one answered, was suddenly opened. Then a middle-aged man with a head exploded like a chicken coop and shook out from the inside with a drunken face and opened the yard gate.

"Old patrol? Is there anything wrong with me? I'm taking a nap!"

"Hmph! This is a famous detective from Tokyo! Mr. Kogoro Maori! Someone entrusted him to investigate the incident of Keiji Aso back then. Aren't you an eyewitness at that time? You have the best relationship with Aso, so I will bring him to see you!"

"What? He is a detective? Someone entrusted him to investigate Aso... How is this possible?... Isn't Aso's case closed? Is there anything to investigate?"

After hearing the old patrol words, Nishiki immediately opened his eyes wide and his face was shocked. However, as a detective with basic qualities, Kogoro Mouri felt a slight smell of pretentiousness from his shock.

"This person is very clear about my identity? But he has to pretend not to be clear? Why? Is there really something hidden about Keiji Aso back then?"

Conan, who also felt shocked and had problems, also hid behind Kogoro Mouri and looked at Nishiki's performance silently.

Only the simple Xiaolan and the preconceived old patrol did not notice Nishiki's abnormality. After some politeness, Nishiki brought Mori Kogoro and others back to his house.

Just like everyone imagined, Ximu, a bachelor in his fifties, had a wine bottle and some bento boxes. The dirty and messy effect was the same as that of some boys' dormitories, including the odor that made Xiaolan and others restless.

"Ah hahaha! Sorry! I live alone at home, so I'm a little casual. There are no guests here, so there is nothing to entertain you! Well... do you mind if you drink?"

"Of course...ahem! Mind! If there is no water or something, you don't need to prepare! We just ask a few questions!"

When I heard that Simu used wine instead of tea, Kogoro Mori, who was also good at drinking, was so happy. After so many years of being entertained, no one has ever been more tempted by the hospitality than Simu. Especially in the wine cabinet behind Simu, you can see a lot of good wine at a glance!

Unfortunately, although I didn't hear the familiar father, such dissuasion sound. But Kogoro, who accepted all the sharp eyes, made a choice that made him cry.

"That's it? Then Detective Maori will ask! I also know that I'm not very suitable for hospitality here! Hehe!"

The few people who finished the polite process, urging the odor that drifted around the tip of their noses all the time, immediately began to inquire about the Keiji Aso incident.

"Mr. Nishimu was the witness at that time?"

"Yes!"

"So can you tell me in detail about the situation at that time?"

"This time has been a bit long! It's been more than ten years, I think about it! At that time, Aso was hosting a global concert. He set the last concert in his hometown of Tsukiying Island. He used the high-end piano he donated to the village to make a perfect end for his concert! After his perfect performance that day, a few of our childhood playmates were ready to go to him to celebrate his successful performance. That was then..."

"We saw Aso killing his wife and daughter with a knife like crazy, and then lit the curtains and other things in the house with a candlestick. Maybe he used some ignition material? The fire quickly swallowed the entire house! We ran to his doorstep and shouted at him in the house, hoping to attract his attention and let him come out! But no matter how we shouted, he ignored us, but sat in front of the piano and played the moonlight sonata wildly!"

By the time the others noticed this and put out the fire with us, Aso had been burned to a scorched corpse.

"Is this how?"

"Indeed, I handled this case at that time! According to the forensic personnel from Tokyo, the scorched corpse inside was indeed Kei Aso's family. I was still in charge of his funeral at that time! Although I remember that Aso had a son in Tokyo at that time! But after searching for it, I couldn't find it, so I could only hold a funeral for his family as he was!"

"What? Keiji Aso has a son?"

"Ah! Didn't I tell you?"

"Of course! If you say such an important clue, how could I forget it? You..."

"Um?"

"Old brother! So naughty! Hahaha!"

After seeing the old patrol's bad eyes, Kogoro Maori, who was very considerate, immediately changed his words. He did not get any clues from Ken Nishiki. Ken Nishiki also denied that he was the mysterious client, Kogoro Maori, who could not bear the odor here, hurriedly left Nishiki's house.

However, what they didn't know was that shortly after they left, Ximu Jian, who was sitting at home drinking, looked around and hurriedly left his home and rushed to another family on the island.

"That detective named Kogoro Mouri is really here to find me!"

"I know! Be calm! I said as you taught me!"

"Listen! Black Rock! I don't know if I should believe what you said, and I don't want to involve the battle between you and Kawashima! I just want to live my life well! As for the two of you, who used this despicable excuse to find the detective to attack each other, I don't want to know! I just want to remind you that if this detective really finds out something and exposes our previous affairs! Don't blame me for taking ruthless actions at that time, anyway, I'm alone, not like you and Kawashima! My family is big and big!"

"By the way, I remembered it when the old patrol inspector said that Aso had a son at that time. Do you remember? Although he disappeared in Tokyo for some reason, it may be him this time! You or Kawashima, get him out! Do you understand?"

As the current village chief and has made a lot of wealth by selling the interests of the villagers, the Tatsuji family of Heiyan, who is a jobless vagrant that no one in the village looks down upon, Nishimu Ken vented his fear in anger.

As the most powerful figure in the village, Kitaji Kuroi Ion was shocked without a trace of anger. Instead, he comforted Nishiki Ken who was almost pointing his nose with a smile.

"Okay! OK! I understand! Don't worry, I'll deal with this matter! Ximu, just live your life with peace of mind! Keiji Aso..."
