Kamen Rider: I, Conan, am Faiz

"Turns out it's just a boring election. No wonder there's such a fuss." After finding out the cause of the matter, Kogoro suddenly felt a little bored. After all, he had seen a lot of elections.

For example, Milijian has been organizing a change of leadership recently. An old man in his sixties and an old man in his eighties are competing for the job, and the fight is very lively.

In comparison, the election for the village chief of Moon Shadow Island seemed so dull.

Conan stepped forward and asked in the innocent tone of a child, "By the way, Dr. Cheng Shi, do you know Keiji Aso?"

"Aso Keiji... I'm sorry, I just returned to the island two years ago, so there are some things I'm not very clear about."

Dr. Chengshi shook his head slightly, indicating that he knew nothing about it, but Conan vaguely saw that Dr. Chengshi's eyes flashed inadvertently when he said this.

Although the movement was so small that it was hardly noticeable, it still did not escape Conan's eyes.

[What is going on? Is Dr. Cheng Shi hiding something? ]

Although full of doubts, Conan did not express them directly, but secretly marked Dr. Chengshi in his heart.

Kogoro naturally didn't notice this, but began to look at the message in distress. "It's a headache. A person died twelve years ago. Where can I find the people who knew him back then?"

"Um...Excuse me, is the Keiji Aso you are talking about the pianist who died in the fire twelve years ago while playing Moonlight?"

Dr. Cheng Shi seemed to have suddenly thought of something and quickly said, "If the Aso Keiji you are talking about is the musician who died twelve years ago, I heard that the current village chief Kuroda and the candidate Mr. Kawashima are both childhood friends of Aso Keiji. If we go to find them, we should be able to learn some information."

Kogoro was overjoyed when he heard this! "Oh, that's great, we finally have a clue! Where can we find the village chief Kuroiwa and the others?"

"It's in the community center." Dr. Cheng Shi pointed to the community center which was still surrounded and explained.

"Today is the second anniversary of the death of the former village chief, Mr. Kameyama, so a memorial service will be held at the community center. If you want to find out about Aso Keiji, maybe I can help make some connections. After all, I am on the list of people attending the memorial service, and I was the one who performed the autopsy on Mr. Kameyama."

"If that's the case, I'm really grateful!" Kogoro excitedly bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude, completely unaware of the strange look in Dr. Chengshi's eyes.

After a while, the Civic Center

"What! You said it was Keiji Aso who signed the name that got you here!"

When the current village chief, Kuroiwa, learned the reason why Kogoro came, his expression suddenly became distorted with fear, and after hearing this, the expressions of some of the other people attending the ritual also became extremely panicked.

"Yes, it is true that a client named Keiji Aso asked me to come here. It seems that he wants me to do something for him."

While speaking, Kogoro took out the message letter, and the village chief Kuroiwa snatched it away impatiently. When he saw the postmark of Yueying Island on it, the village chief couldn't help but explode!

"Asshole! Did you do this to Kawashima? How could you use such a despicable method!"

"Baga Yalu! How dare you slander me! Why would I do such a thing!"

Seeing that Heiyan was so disrespectful to him in public, Kawashima, the candidate for the next village chief, flew into a rage and rushed over to grab Heiyan village chief by the collar.

"Since you said it was me! Do you have any evidence? If not, be careful or I will sue you for defamation!"

Heiyan sneered: "Do you think I don't know that you are relying on your wealth to send oil and eggs to the villagers on the island in the name of providing warmth? In fact, you are using this despicable method to win votes!"

(It’s a bit familiar. It seems to be like this in my village when I was a child. People would deliver things on tricycles in the middle of the night.)

Kawashima's face suddenly turned ugly when he heard that, but he immediately retorted: "So what if I gave something as a gift? At least I spent my own money! Unlike you, a conscienceless bastard, who actually allowed the factory to discharge polluted water. Are you going to make all the fishermen on our island unemployed?"

"What the hell! I have the approval of international experts! There is absolutely no problem with the discharged wastewater! You can even drink it!"

Kawashima was furious: "You shameless fellow! If you have the guts, drink in front of everyone!"

Hei Yan was speechless for a moment, but then he gritted his teeth and said, "I...I won't drink! If you fucking tell me to drink, I'll drink. Wouldn't that make me lose face?"

"I'll use your face as an insole!"

Without saying anything more, the two elderly men, who were almost fifty years old, started fighting directly, holding each other's necks tightly and refusing to let go.

"Stop! Stop it now! Stop fighting!"

"You can't kill someone by beating them like this! If you want to fight, go to the dance studio!"

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the secretaries of the two old men appeared in time to pull the two apart, thus preventing everyone from watching a good show.

Xiaolan, who had been enjoying this scene, was stunned for a long time. After a while, she leaned over to Conan and whispered, "Shinichi, are these two really childhood friends? Why do they look like enemies?"

Conan shrugged and said calmly, "Who knows? In the face of absolute interests, false friendships are often vulnerable and may even turn into enemies. Among the companions who went to film with my mother, almost many of them have stopped communicating with each other because they wanted more opportunities to appear on the screen."

Xiaolan didn't say anything after listening to this, and her expression became particularly complicated.

After this little episode, the memorial service for the deceased former village chief Kameyama finally began. Conan and his three companions also joined the memorial service, standing solemnly on both sides with the other participants.

Next, the monk began to chant mantras to pray for the souls to be reborn.

"The first day I arrived at the gates of hell~ the gates of hell, this dead soul~ my eyes couldn't stop crying, oh my Buddha~ oh my Tathagata~ mommy mommy boom..."

"Hubby! Why are you leaving so early? You're making me so miserable!"

While the monk was chanting mantras to pray for the soul to be reborn, the widow of the former village chief of Guishan was crying loudly and her sorrowful appearance was particularly heartbreaking.

"What a sin! You have no conscience! You were away on a business trip for three years and when you came back, your eight-month-old son was crying! How could you be so cruel to abandon us!"

hiss!

Is there something not quite right?

Why is the portrait of the former village chief of Guishan glowing green?

Forget it, forget it. Don’t interfere in other people’s family affairs. If there is any problem, let the couple solve it through dreams.

"Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom."

Half an hour into the ceremony, Kawashima temporarily left the scene on the pretext of having to urinate, and Kuroiwa took advantage of the opportunity to mock him without hesitation.

"It's only been a short while since you went to the toilet. You still want to take the position of village chief when you are in this state of physical strength? Go to the hospital and have your kidney checked out."

"Humph!"

Kawashima snorted disdainfully, then slammed the door and left.

After Kawashima's footsteps could no longer be heard, Kuroiwa told the male secretary beside him, "Go, get me a new diaper. This one is already saturated."

Male secretary...

The ritual continued for about half an hour and was finally concluded with three bows from everyone present.

"Dang Dang Dang~"

However, just when everything had returned to calm, suddenly a piano piece of music echoed from all directions. This piece of music was the famous "Moonlight", which was also the last song that Keiji Aso played during the fire.
