Japan's registration system has existed for a long time.
It is extremely difficult to create another person's identity and completely sever their ties to the past.
As adults, they can transfer out of their family's registration, and they can change their names by becoming someone else's adopted child or through marriage.
However, even with these methods, it is still easy to trace a person's past. The flaws in the paper-based registration system are abundant.
That's why in TV dramas, there are often instances of people buying someone else's registration.
This flawed system has even become a gray industry chain, and many homeless people will sell their "identity" before becoming homeless.
For example, using their own reputation to become a joint guarantor or helping someone with a criminal record and a bad reputation apply for a "business license," or selling their registration for someone else to take their place.
But this is undoubtedly a temporary solution. Once all their "identity and reputation" is sold out, they will eventually end up as homeless.
These are the loopholes that exist in the era of paper-based registration, and this problem exists in any country.
Only after the completion of digitalization can these inherent flaws in paper-based registrations be eliminated.
However, digitalization began around 1994, during the period of Japan's economic downturn.
Due to various financial problems, the implementation was delayed.
Even by 2003, only 37% of local organizations had completed the digitalization of their registration management.
And now, before even reaching the new millennium, on a remote island like Moonshadow Island, which is far from Tokyo, the registration management is handled by the local organization on the island.
But...
Do you think the village chief, a person who sells drugs for quick money, would be one of the few, poor members who completed the digitalization of the registration system?
It's impossible to even think about it, right!!
And many people are probably aware of this phenomenon. After the economic downturn, many towns and villages in Japan are populated by middle-aged and elderly people, while young people are flocking to big cities like Tokyo.
Due to the economic downturn, many rural areas have gradually lost their vitality, let alone an island like this.
In Japan, doctors have a high status, and it's easy to make money. They wouldn't bother coming to such a small island.
However, for convenience, the island naturally wants to have doctors stationed here. Therefore, being the weaker party, they naturally provide convenience.
So, when Narumi Asai disguised himself as a woman and opened a clinic here, he was very well received. As time passed and he became familiar with the residents on the island, he was considered a part of the island.
Just like in ancient times, the power of the emperor didn't extend to rural areas, and local officials were in charge.
As Narumi Asai dressed as a woman, he naturally needed an identity for daily life.
So, after spending a long time on the island, he casually used the excuse of lost registration, and the island easily issued a proper identity for "her."
During the transition from paper to electronic records, errors naturally occur, and where there are errors, there are opportunities.
And what Senichi wants to do is to use these "errors" during the transition process to help Akemi Miyano create a completely new identity that no one can detect!
After explaining the plan to Akemi Miyano at the residence on the second floor of the clinic, Senichi had to admit that the plan was meticulous.
Using the method of exploiting "bugs" like this, there were no flaws whatsoever.
It can be said that Seiji Asoh, who played the role of female doctor Asai Narumi, was the most crucial and authentic part of this plan.
After all, Narumi Asai actually lived here, creating the identity!
After settling Akemi Miyano on Moonshadow Island and the clinic where Narumi Asai was previously located, Senichi and Conan went out and bought a large amount of food.
For a while, Akemi Miyano would need to temporarily hide from the organization's pursuit using the identity of Narumi Asai.
This was also why Senichi asked a favor from Narumi Asai after the Moonshadow Island case, allowing him to keep his residence on the island and occasionally show up.
Of course, since Akemi Miyano was not a doctor, the clinic couldn't operate when she returned, so Senichi needed to take care of everything during this time to make this identity completely real.
After settling Akemi Miyano, Conan had his mother make a phone call to inform Ran that Conan would be taken by his mother for a while and wouldn't temporarily return to the detective agency.
After that, Conan stayed here with Akemi Miyano, and once Senichi returned to Tokyo, he immediately started his actions.
As mentioned earlier, identities can be sold.
Once someone starts selling their "identity," this information quickly spreads to the black market, and people who come to buy "identities" will keep coming.
And it was a simple matter for Senichi to gather this information.
Soon, wearing a disguise mask, he contacted the intermediary through the channels he had already investigated and arranged a meeting.
Before implementing the plan, he had already contacted the intermediary, asking for help in finding suitable candidates.
When Senichi met with the intermediary in a private room of a café, the intermediary brought along a young man with an honest face.
The man appeared to be in his twenties, but he was dressed shabbily and looked timid when he looked at the two of them.
According to the intermediary's introduction, his family was relatively well-off, but his parents accumulated a large amount of debt and committed suicide two years ago.
He barely managed to survive with his limited savings, found a job, but recently got laid off. Now he was desperate, had no money for food, and had no choice but to sell his identity.
"This is the person you wanted, and I've brought him here," the intermediary rubbed his fingers together, implying the meaning.
"The money is here. I need to talk to him," Senichi said casually after paying a sum to the intermediary.
"Then I'll leave. You can talk," knowing that Senichi was dismissing him, the intermediary took the money and left with a discerning eye.
"Although the intermediary already mentioned it before, let me ask again."
Senichi looked at the man and asked, "Are you willing to have a fake marriage in exchange for a job abroad?"
