Conan’s World Stand-in - v2 Chapter 100
What surprised Guan Dounan was not the sudden appearance of a blond vampire behind him, nor the sudden appearance of a group of gangsters with guns, nor the sudden disappearance of the path.
In fact, everything behind him was as stable as before, and there was nothing unusual. The only thing that surprised him was the real whereabouts of those gold nuggets, which he sensed with Xiao Hei’s ability.
As the saying goes, the people on the island have been looking for them for several years, and they even spent a lot of money to ask Guan Dounan, a fortune-teller, to fortune-tell the whereabouts of the gold nuggets. As a result, these things have been lying quietly on the island all the time. Inside this cave.
“It’s more like gold bricks than gold nuggets…”
Guan Dounan took two steps, bent down and picked up a square brick on the ground—when they walked in, they noticed this artifact with obvious artificial traces. However, the number of these bricks is not too many, and they are all covered with moss, scattered in the inner cave, Guan Dounan and the others did not care too much.
It was only when he picked one up that he realized that the brick was unusually heavy. It was not like a brick or a stone, but a very dense metal block. And as he rubbed off the layer of moss and soil covered with his hands, the brick also revealed its true colors, glowing with an attractive metallic luster in the dim light.
“Disguise the gold nuggets as ordinary bricks, and then hide them directly here? It’s really an unexpected way to hide.” Conan was also surprised that these gold nuggets had just been trampled under their feet.
“But… wait, don’t you think there’s something wrong?” Xiao Ai suddenly said, “Since this cave was formed into a closed space after the Dragon God was sent in, then who is the gold nugget on the ship? Take it down, what about the one disguised as a brick?”
“The underworld leader at that time should have been found alone on the beach, right? This means that he was not in this cave at the time. Hamada did not take these gold nuggets away, which means that he was not here at the time. What is this…”
“Of course it’s because of me.”
A gloomy voice came from the dark mountain road behind them, followed by a guy with a flashlight in one hand and a pistol in the other—the same guy who once took them to the island, a pair of The kind-hearted Goro Kinoshita. It’s just that at this time, his face was full of grins, and he looked like an old beast that was better than a human being.
“…There were actually more surviving crew members on the Dragon God at that time.” Guan Dounan was silent for a moment, and said to Goro Kinoshita.
“Yes, except for Hamada and the leader, there are five people in total. They are not dead.” Goro Kinoshita still held the pistol in his hand and kicked the golden bricks that were disguised as ordinary bricks. Guang Gengsheng said, “At that time, I was still a police officer on the island. When I was patrolling the island, I came across a wounded guy who was stealing something to eat. When he saw me, he came directly to attack me, so I He was shot and wounded.”
“I followed him all the way to this cave and saw the Dragon God and the bodies of four other people – they seemed to have had an infighting. Died, leaving me an empty Dragon God and a nugget of gold that I’ve been looking for for years…”
Goro Kinoshita slowly moved towards the three of Guan Dounan, while Xiao Ai and Conan also turned off the lights of their watches and hid behind Guan Dounan.
“Since I found out that the Dragon God was in this cave, I was ecstatic, but then I found out that it was an empty ship with nothing. Those gold nuggets worth one billion yuan just disappeared like this…” Goro Kinoshita said bitterly, “When I was going to write down this matter first, and then come back to investigate, this cave suddenly began to be haunted, and I didn’t even dare to come in here again.”
“Now think about it, if I could search a few more times, I might have found these gold nuggets long ago. Thanks to you guys for helping me find the source of the so-called haunting, and easily cracking it, as expected A professional fortune-teller…”
Goro Kinoshita grinned and said, “Just, I don’t know if you have divination, will you die here today?”
“Black eats black, isn’t it?” Guan Dounan sighed and dropped the gold brick in his hand, “Because I found the whereabouts of the gold brick, I also became ‘useless’. And it seems, you don’t intend to If you reveal the whereabouts of these gold nuggets, you will say that my disappearance will be swallowed up by the ghosts in the haunted cave?”
“Of course, it’s you, and then Hamada. It’s enough for anyone in the know.” Goro Kinoshita slowly pulled the trigger, ready to stop talking nonsense and shoot Guan Dounan directly.
“I have bandages here, which can wrap your wounds.” Guan Dounan suddenly said something thoughtless.
“What?” Kinoshita Goro frowned slightly~www.mtlnovel.com~ What are you talking about, I wasn’t hurt. “
“It doesn’t matter if there is no injury.” Guan Dounan stared at the pistol in Kinoshita’s hand, it was an old-fashioned M60 revolver with extremely limited lethality. There will be injuries.”
“what?”
“boom!”
A gunshot rang out from nowhere, and no fire or bullet was seen. Kinoshita Goro’s wrist suddenly felt a severe pain as if it had been scorched by fire, causing him to let go of his hand subconsciously. The gun fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, he seemed to be kicked fiercely on the chin by an invisible fist. The huge power made him fly directly into the air. When he was still in the air, he lost consciousness and fell into a coma.
“You know? There’s only one reason for your failure.”
After Kinoshita fainted, Guan Dounan strolled leisurely in the courtyard, walked slowly to his side, and recalled his stand-in, Xiao Hei.
“Because I’m a stand-in, but you’re not.”
…
Under the unified witness of almost all the residents of the island, Guan Dounan showed the Dragon God, gold nuggets hidden in the cave, and Goro Kinoshita lying unconscious on the ground. And by the way, he mentioned that he had reported to the Neon police, and they would come over at night, take the prisoner Kinoshita, and take over the gold nugget that should be regarded as stolen money.
Of course, according to the law, Shikishima can also receive 10% of the wealth as a subsidy. The benefits of a full 100 million yen have made the gap in the hearts of the islanders not so big for the time being, and the plot of murder and treasure that may have appeared, and the embezzlement of property has also disappeared.
“That, Senior Guan, the envelope in your bag is…”
“Is this? It’s just the promised five million yuan reward.”
