Chapter 60
After a while of discussion, the group of Xia Ri decided to go to the community activity center on Yueying Island to take a look.
In addition to working and resting, residents on the island generally choose to chat with friends or play cards at the community activity center. After all, there are so many people there, it is a good place to spend time.
The reason why Xia Ri and the others wanted to go there was, on the one hand, they wanted to find an insider and ask about the specific situation of Keiji Aso's suicide twelve years ago.
On the other hand, we can see if we can contact Keiji Aso or relatives who are related to blood.
After all, from the perspective of a detective, the client of this incident is likely to be Keiji Aso who is still alive or a relative.
Because only they can maintain such high attention to a suicide leave twelve years ago.
"Okay, let's go to the community event center!"
Kogoro walked in front with his head held high and his chest raised, but before he could take a few steps, he suddenly stopped.
He first looked left, then right, then looked back at Xia Ri and the others, with a look of embarrassment.
“How should this…community event center go?”
"What are you doing? I thought you know the way, uncle!" Xia Ri said funny.
Kogoro curled his lips: "I have never been here before and I don't have a map in my hand. How could I know the way!"
Xia Ri didn't bother to pay attention to him, and Xiaolan saw a young and beautiful woman not far ahead, standing at the door of a clinic talking to a little boy again. Her eyes lit up and she walked over quickly.
"I'm sorry, I'm disturbing..." Xiaolan asked in a crisp voice, "How can I get to the community activity center?"
"Community Activity Center?" The woman looked back at Xiaolan, and her eyes were on Summer. Kogoro and Conan turned around, then reached out and pointed forward, "Walk forward from here, walk to the intersection, then turn right, and then walk to the end..."
"OK, thanks……"
However, before Xiaolan turned around and left, the woman spoke again.
"Did you come from another place?"
"Well..." Xiaolan nodded, "We are from Tokyo."
"Tokyo? Really?" The woman seemed very happy when she heard Xiaolan's answer. "No wonder your accent sounds so friendly. It's such a coincidence. I'm also from Tokyo!"
While speaking, the woman's face was filled with a bright smile, then raised her hands and signaled Xia Ri and they looked around, introducing proudly.
"Are you here for a trip? Then you have come to the right place! Look! The environment of this island is much more than that of Tokyo, right? Not only is the air clear, but the environment is even quieter..."
However, before the woman could finish her words, a car with a horn mounted on top and a banner was already whizzing past her, leaving behind a circle of exhaust gas.
"In order to protect the fishing grounds on the island and the rights of the islanders... please support the spokesperson for the people - Shimizu Masato!"
"Please give me a vote! Thank you everyone!!"
"To protect..."
The radio on the speaker was played repeatedly, just like noise, stimulating the eardrums of several people.
The woman looked awkwardly at the direction where the car left. She just praised the quiet environment in front of outsiders, but was slapped hard by the noisy reality, which made her face feel a bit hot.
A drop of cold sweat was left, and the woman explained: "This place was indeed very quiet before, but because we were about to choose the mayor, the island has only been a little noisy recently..."
"Choose the mayor?"
Xia Ri remembered the old people in the office. No wonder each of them has a vote. For an island far away from the local area, grassroots cadres often have great power, so in every election, these candidates will make a bloody life.
"Yes." The woman said as she knew it, "There are three candidates for mayors. In addition to the fisherman representative Shimizu Masato who was broadcasting and promoting in the car just now, there are also the current village chief Kuroi Iwaki Tatsuji, whose reputation has recently declined, and Eio Kawashima, the richest richest man in Tsukishima."
When the woman said this, she held her chin and showed a thoughtful look.
"These three candidates have their own characteristics, but according to the conversations between patients in the clinic, Mr. Kawashima is most likely to be elected."
Xia Ri looked at the woman, but no one expected that this woman, who looked only twenty-four or five years old, had such enthusiasm and talkativeness, although she had beautiful eyebrows and eyes.
Xiaolan just went to ask for a way, but she turned her back on the topic and gradually drifted away the topic!
On the side, Kogoro was obviously a little impatient when he heard it. He took a step forward and stood between Xiaolan and the woman.
"Sorry, Miss Nurse, we are not interested in choosing a mayor. If you have nothing to do, we will..."
The meaning of Kogoro's words is already very obvious, but in the end it was just a roll of eyes from a woman.
"My name is Asai Naiji. I am the doctor at this clinic, not a nurse!"
After hearing what the woman said, Kogoro finally noticed the dazzling white coat on her body, scratched the back of her head, Kogoro said embarrassedly: "Ah, I'm sorry, I don't know Mount Tai... I misunderstood your profession."
"It's okay." Asai Narimi shook her head and said indifferently, "It should be me who should be sorry. It's rare to see Tokyoites. It's me who delayed you for too long."
"But if you go to the community activity center now, you can catch up with the former village chief Yu Kameyama. The second anniversary of his death, and you can also see the three people I just mentioned!"
...
After saying goodbye to Asai Narishi, who was overly enthusiastic, Xia Ri followed the route provided by Asai Narishi and successfully found the community activity center.
However, before they could approach the community activity center, they saw a large group of people gathering in front of the community activity center, clamoring for something.
"Defeat the authoritarian atrocities of the current village chief!!"
“Stop the encroachment of farmland!!”
"Give me a clean fishing ground!!"
It turned out to be a protest!
The voice went higher and higher, and the crowd was in high spirits. Obviously, the current village chief they mentioned had aroused public anger.
"What should I do?" Xia Ri hesitated at the fierce crowd, "So many people, do we still have to go in?"
"Of course." Kogoro nodded, "Since they have all come here, how can you do it if you don't go in!"
Xiaolan swallowed: "But...but how do we get in there for so many people?"
