"I'm old now, useless. It seems no one takes me seriously anymore." The old police officer standing at the door finally recovered from the shock of the scene inside. Seeing no one paying him any attention, he shook his head and chuckled bitterly.
Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri patted the back of his head, then said helplessly, "Don't misunderstand, old man, it's just that you see this situation – it's completely beyond the island's police force to resolve." And at this very moment, a voice full of apology suddenly rang out: "Excuse me everyone, I just saw the community center lights were still on, so I figured you hadn't eaten. I specifically brought some late-night snacks."
It was Dr. Asai Narumi who spoke. Everyone was momentarily stunned; hearing him say that, they actually felt a little hungry. Bringing the late-night snacks to the first-floor assembly hall, everyone sat on the floor and began to eat. As for why they came downstairs to eat, it was likely that even Conan, who feared nothing, wouldn't eat in a place like the second floor, because without professional police and forensic doctors, no one could get the body down from such a high place without damaging it.
So, at this moment, the body was still hanging high up, and prolonged suspension had drained it of blood. Kogoro Mouri held a glutinous rice dumpling in his hand, eating it as he said, "Brother Yun, did you call the police just now?" When he discovered that there was only one police officer on the island, he secretly instructed Yun Feng to call the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. This was because Moon Shadow Island belonged to the Izu Islands, and the Izu Islands were under the jurisdiction of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. "Uncle, I've already called the police.
But the Metropolitan Police Department said that due to the distance, they wouldn't be able to reach the island until tomorrow morning," Yun Feng nodded and said. Conan, who was standing by, immediately grew anxious after hearing this: "Uncle Mouri, then let's sleep here tonight." Before Kogoro Mouri could speak, Ran's face instantly changed, and she angrily said, "Conan, don't be mischievous, okay? Aren't you, a child, scared of this place?" At this, Conan suddenly looked at Yun Feng with eager anticipation and said, "Teacher Yun Feng, you've also seen that commission letter.
You should understand why we need to stay here, right?" Yun Feng was startled, not expecting this guy to try and drag him into it. He immediately feigned confusion: "Ah? Commission letter? What do you mean? I don't know, Conan-kun, what are you talking about?" "Damn it." Conan looked at Yun Feng's feigned ignorance and immediately became exasperated. He simply didn't believe that this esteemed world-class criminal psychology expert couldn't understand the meaning of that commission letter. Helpless, Conan could only prompt Kogoro Mouri: "Uncle Mouri, the commission letter said that shadows were beginning to disappear on Moon Shadow Island.
The word 'beginning' proves that this murder incident is just a start. I remember Sister Ran said that Beethoven's piano piece 'Moonlight Sonata' has three movements, which also proves that more incidents will occur. So, by staying here, we can both protect the crime scene and prevent anything else from happening." Kogoro Mouri nodded thoughtfully after hearing this and said, "This little rascal is right. I'll stay here tonight; all of you can go back." "Dad! What if something happens to you here alone?!" Ran's annoyance with Conan at this moment was beyond words; she almost couldn't resist giving him a good beating. What would happen if something truly befell her father alone here? One must remember, it was an existence like a demonic curse.
Kogoro Mouri was momentarily stunned, then smiled and comforted his daughter, saying, "Don't forget, your old man's shoulder throw is no joke, huh." "No! Can your shoulder throw throw someone onto a wall that high?" Ran pointed towards the second floor and said angrily. This left Kogoro Mouri speechless. He still didn't even know how that arrow was shot. If he really encountered the culprit, he had no confidence whatsoever. Scratching his hair, Kogoro Mouri's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Yun Feng, and he said, "Alright then, I'll stay here with Brother Yun, and you all can go back, okay?" Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, Ran became even more exasperated, shouting loudly, "No! Neither of you can get into trouble!" Kogoro Mouri was surprised to hear this.
He first looked at his daughter, then at Yun Feng's awkward expression, and suddenly quipped, "What happened between you two?" Conan also looked suspiciously at Ran and Yun Feng at this moment. Their expressions indeed seemed a bit off. Dr. Narumi and the old police officer sensed that the atmosphere was a little strange and simultaneously looked at Ran and Yun Feng. Being stared at like this, Ran's face immediately flushed. She said with a mix of shyness and vexation, "Well, if you're both staying here, then everyone just stays here." After Ran finished speaking, she ignored Kogoro Mouri and lowered her head, slowly eating. After a while, when everyone had mostly finished eating, they planned to go upstairs to set up their futons and rest. Just then, Ran glanced at the completely clean floor in front of Yun Feng and said, quite curiously, "Brother Yun, I didn't see you eat anything, but it's all gone?"
Yun Feng awkwardly rubbed his stomach and said, "Maybe I was just too hungry." Then Yun Feng clutched his stomach again and said, "Oh dear, I might have eaten too fast and have a bit of diarrhea. I'll just go to the restroom first." With that, he scurried off towards the restroom. Ran looked at the somewhat uncharacteristic Yun Feng with surprise, not understanding what was going on with Brother Yun. Upon entering the restroom, he locked the door. Yun Feng first took a look around, then nodded in satisfaction, relieved that it was quite clean. Then, he softly called out "Xiao Yu." As soon as the words left his lips, a figure swiftly flashed in through the window; it was Yun Xiaoyu,
who had been hidden all along. Yun Xiaoyu looked at her somewhat strange master and asked worriedly, "Master, is something wrong? Why are you holding your stomach? Are you not feeling well? Do you need me to check?" What Xiao Yu didn't expect was that Yun Feng grinned at this moment, pulling out an exquisite bento box from inside his shirt where he had been clutching his stomach. It was the very late-night snack Dr. Narumi had brought him earlier. Yun Feng looked at the surprised Xiao Yu and said with concern, "Xiao Yu, you haven't eaten either, have you? Dr. Narumi brought quite a lot of late-night snacks, so I saved a portion for you." "Master... you..." Yun Xiaoyu felt a surge of inexplicable sourness in her eyes at this moment, and a never-before-seen blurry mist filled her vision. She had been in the assembly hall just now; how could she not know that Dr. Narumi had only brought one portion for each person? This meant that her master hadn't eaten at all, saving it all for her. Yun Feng affectionately stroked Xiao Yu's head and said gently, "Silly girl, humans are made of iron, and food is steel. Even if you were a fairy descended from heaven, you'd still get hungry without food, right?" Xiao Yu nodded vigorously, took the bento box her master handed her, and was startled again. The bento box was somewhat hot to the touch.
She quickly opened it to see that the metal bento box also had a separated area containing still-steaming fish soup. She quickly set the bento box aside and pulled up Yun Feng's shirt. Immediately, Xiao Yu's tears fell like broken pearls. She saw that Yun Feng's belly was already red from the soup, and there were even small blisters forming. Xiao Yu covered her mouth, desperately trying to suppress her cries. It was only at this moment that she truly understood that when one's emotions spiraled out of control, tears really would fall. Seeing Xiao Yu crying like that, Yun Feng was startled. He quickly pulled her into his arms and comforted her, "Don't cry, Xiao Yu. I have thick skin; it's nothing."
He was speaking the truth. Although his physical attributes hadn't been greatly enhanced yet, his muscle strength and recovery ability were better than those of normal people; otherwise, it wouldn't have been just small blisters. Xiao Yu then slowly stopped crying. She looked deeply at Yun Feng, said nothing more, but then spoke with a hint of pleading, "Master, let's eat together." Yun Feng was momentarily stunned. From Xiao Yu's eyes just now, he had actually seen a clear look of affection. His heart swelled with joy. Before, Xiao Yu's gaze towards him had only been obedience and docility, but now he could finally see the emotions he wanted to see. Yun Feng delightedly kissed Xiao Yu on her red lips and said cheerfully, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's eat, my dear wife." And so... One was the young chairman of the world's number one conglomerate, and the other was the world's number one assassin and bodyguard. Just like that, they took turns eating, hiding in a restroom on a remote island, consuming the most ordinary late-night snacks imaginable... If such a thing were to spread, probably no one would believe it... If Hai Qingyun knew how disheveled her precious son was, she would probably even consider destroying the island nation... And the only witness to this heartwarming scene was probably the still-bright full moon in the sky...
