Chapter 19 Moonlight Sonata 2st Movement
Yuya naturally didn't know that Asai Narimi hoped that he would leave the island as soon as possible to avoid his relaxation being ruined by subsequent events.
He strolled around and looked around.
As Asai Narumi said, the island is about to hold an election for the next village chief, so there are banners and posters everywhere for canvassing for votes, and he even met a few people who wanted to get his votes.
However, after hearing that he was not a resident of the island, he left disappointed.
Yuya used the same excuse to find a few residents on the island to ask about the gangsters, but unfortunately their statements were the same as Asai Narimi's.
After all, who would tell others about their bad things in their home, especially when the person is a tourist who is planning to stay for a while?
As he walked, Youya came to the square in the center of the village and found that a speech ceremony was being held there.
The speaker was one of the candidates in this election, Hideo Kawashima.
Youya leaned against a tree and listened for a while, and found that there was nothing new, just standard bourgeoisie election lines. However, the residents listened with gusto, and some even cheered from time to time.
Yuya glanced at the onlookers and found that Kawashima Hideo's approval rating seemed to be quite high and he might become the next village chief. He couldn't help but laugh in his heart: What would your expressions be if you knew that the upcoming village chief was actually a drug dealer?
Will you still cheer like you do now?
Forget it, let me save you at the same time, after all, I am a kind-hearted and good boy.
Youye shrugged his shoulders and lost interest in listening any further. Coincidentally, he had to urgently ask someone about the location of the toilet and went to the bathroom.
Yuya, who was doing horse stance, suddenly heard someone coming in. At first he didn't pay attention and was concentrating on looking at his phone, but when he heard another person coming in and calling the person in front, "Village Chief Kuroiwa", Yuya suddenly raised his head.
Village chief? Is it Kuroiwa Tatsuji? I was just wondering where to find him, and now he is here without any effort.
Kuroiwa Tatsuji, who came in first, seemed to have finished the problem. He walked out while chatting with the man.
Yuya thought for a moment, quickly finished his work, flushed the toilet, opened the door of the cubicle, and when he came out, he saw a middle-aged man standing in front of the toilet and whistling.
You ignored him and walked out quickly. He saw a short and fat bald figure in front of the sink.
Noticing that Yuya came out, Kuroiwa Tatsuji subconsciously took a look, didn't recognize him, and didn't bother to care, shook the water off his hands and prepared to leave.
Yuya walked over, and when he passed by Kuroiwa Tatsuji, he raised his hand and brushed Kuroiwa Tatsuji's back casually: "Sir, you have spider webs here."
Kuroiwa Tatsuji was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked back, but as everyone knows, it is difficult for fat people to see their own backs, so Kuroiwa Tatsuji saw nothing.
He didn't care, said thank you nonchalantly and left the WC.
Yuya watched Kuroiwa Tatsuji leave, with a slight smile on his face.
There was a small, black paper-like object stuck on Kuroiwa Tatsuji's lower back. It was the bug that Yuya had just placed there.
···
Into the night
Yuya found a hotel to stay in and began to eavesdrop on Kuroiwa Tatsuji's actions.
Tatsuji Kuroiwa and Hideo Kawashima met in private. The two drug dealers did not fall out because of the election. Instead, they talked and laughed.
Hideo Kawashima mocked Tatsuji Kuroiwa for being old and that his votes had far exceeded his; Tatsuji Kuroiwa mocked the other party for being incompetent except for his skill in using money.
Kawashima Hideo laughed nonchalantly: "Didn't I learn all this from you?"
Kuroiwa Tatsuji also laughed: "After you take office, you must play the role of village chief well!"
"Of course!"
Yuya stroked his chin, a little confused. These two seemed to have a good relationship? Could it be that they were working together on drug trafficking, and were they on the same boat?
Kuroiwa Tatsuji didn't care at all that Kawashima Hideo had more votes than him to become the next village chief. Instead, he listened to them. Did he expect this?
It was as if... it had already been decided that the next village chief would be Kawashima Hideo.
For the entire evening, Kuroiwa Tatsuji and Kawashima Hideo drank and boasted, and they chatted until late at night.
Eavesdropping is a very time-consuming and energy-consuming thing, because you have to find what you need in the long content, which is actually mostly useless nonsense.
Yuya listened boredly while playing with his phone.
He was not surprised to find that Kogoro Mouri was in the news again. It seemed that he attended a banquet, and a murder occurred during the meal. The case was then solved while he was sleeping. The sleeping Kogoro appeared again and sent the murderer to prison.
The banquet really became a banquet.
Yuya smiled with satisfaction like an old father: "It seems that Conan is not idle either."
Two more guys were killed by Conan's Grim Reaper physique. One of them sang Tears Behind Bars, and everyone has a bright future.
Finally, when Yuya felt sleepy and began to yawn, Kuroiwa Tatsuji said something that perked up Yuya.
"It's almost time. I'll go to the mansion first." It was the voice of Hideo Kawashima.
Then Kuroiwa Tatsuji's voice came: "Go ahead, be careful not to be discovered."
Kawashima Hideo laughed disdainfully: "We have been doing this for so many years, who else knows about it except the four of us?"
Then there was the sound of footsteps moving away.
Yuya looked thoughtful. Going out in the middle of the night was most likely to do something related to drug trafficking. But four people? When did one more person come out?
Could it be the "supplier" that they do business with?
Yuya remembered that their previous "supplier" was the deceased Keiji Aso, but it seems they have found a new one later.
Unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise. Youye quickly picked up his coat and walked to the window. He opened the window and looked around carefully. After confirming that there was no one nearby, he jumped down from the second floor and ran towards the mansion stealthily.
During the day, he had already figured out the general layout of the island and knew the location of the mansion.
Because he wanted to be careful not to be discovered, Youya came slowly, and when he arrived, Kawashima Hideo had already entered the mansion.
Yuya looked around, found a tree where he could see the entire mansion, climbed up, and observed quietly.
There was no light in the mansion, and it was pitch black and nothing could be seen. There was only a dim light moving around inside, appearing and disappearing, and finally stopping in a room.
The light spot sank slightly, and Kawashima Hideo seemed to squat down; after a while, the light spot rose a little, and Kawashima Hideo stood up again.
Then the light spot began to move, and after a while it left the mansion.
Finished? Yuya was a little disappointed.
Why didn't anyone come to meet us? Could it be that they just put the items in the mansion for the transaction?
You did not follow Kawashima Hideo, but looked around to make sure there was no one there, then sneaked into the mansion.
When we arrived at the room where Kawashima Hideo was staying, it was empty with only a piano, standing alone in the middle.
Hideo Kawashima just squatted down, and the only thing that could be placed in the room was this piano.
Youya walked to the piano, squatted down and started searching, and soon he found a secret compartment under the piano.
Opening the secret compartment, stacks of banknotes lay inside.
"Wow!" Youya exclaimed in a low voice. Judging from the amount, it seemed that they had traded quite a lot.
After a little thought, Youya waved his hand and put all the money into the system space. These ill-gotten gains were taken by me, the righteous thief!
Youya closed the secret compartment and came to the room opposite the piano room, lying in wait in the darkness.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but just when Youya was about to fall asleep, footsteps were heard.
The footsteps stopped at the door of Yuya's room. He was refreshed but not worried at all about being discovered. Sure enough, the door of the piano room opposite was opened the next second.
After a while, a scream suddenly came from the piano room, followed by messy footsteps. It was obvious that the man was looking for something in the piano room, and finally a low curse of "Bastard!" was heard.
The footsteps left quickly, and Youya could hear anger in them.
You followed without saying a word. He wanted to see if the trader who came to take the money was the gangster or the fourth person mentioned by Kawashima Hideo.
Yuya followed the man and saw his face when passing by a street light. He discovered that it was actually the secretary who followed Kuroiwa Tatsuji, whose last name was Hirata.
"It's true that birds of a feather flock together. The secretary of the drug dealer village chief is also a drug dealer." Youye said secretly.
