Rebirth of Conan as a Detective - Chapter 1174
Chapter 1174 The Secret Island Murder Case 2
The treasure hunt didn’t go smoothly at the beginning. First, the island owner was killed, and then it was discovered that there was an uninvited guest among the people.
However, after the only island owner who knew the guest list was killed, there was no way to judge who was the one who came in.
After a short silence, Mei Zuobi chose to live in the island owner’s cottage in the eyes of everyone, and gave up her original wooden house to the bald uncle.
“Acheng, did the murderer really pretend to be a guest?”
“It should be. After the other party kills the island owner, he can use his identity as a guest to hunt for treasures.”
Gao Cheng took the luggage and sent a few people to the wooden house opposite the ranch to check in. When he walked through the ranch, he could feel the unique pastoral style of the island.
It’s just that when I look at it now, there is no such peace as before.
“I have to stay with the murderer for a week in this kind of place. It’s scary to think about it,” Yuanzi’s face was full of worry, “Maybe we will be killed too…”
“Just be careful, don’t run around outside.”
Gao Cheng helped several people put down their luggage.
In his opinion, even if the murderer intends to kill consecutively, there is no reason to act on the garden first, unless the garden sees something that needs to be killed.
Besides, Xiaolan’s force is also a guarantee.
After a few people settled in, Gao Cheng took Conan to the wooden house where he was staying.
I just stopped by the ranch hut and walked straight ahead to a place near the green torii gate and the pier, where I was neighbors with the curly-haired uncle named Yagi.
“Hey, Joto,” Conan thought all the way and finally said, “Do you really think the murderer came to kill the island owner in advance to join the treasure hunt?”
“It looks like this, but it is not without doubt,” Gao Cheng observed the surrounding environment. “If you really want to hide yourself, you can completely dispose of the island owner’s corpse, and the Japanese doll that imitates the corpse is also very strange. It seems to be deliberately creating a panic.”
“I think so too, but why?”
“Yes, why?”
Gao Cheng used the key distributed by Mei Zuobi to enter the cabin, and his eyebrows were even more contemplative.
“In fact, it was very strange at the beginning. The owner of Meizuo Island was more selfish than she liked to be isolated from the world, but she was so selfish that she was afraid of someone coming to grab the treasure.
If I’m not wrong, the island owner probably never thought about sharing the treasure. If he finds the treasure, he will probably kill everyone, right? That’s why we are not allowed to carry mobile phones. “
“No?” Conan asked in surprise.
“This is human nature. The more such a closed place, the more evil thoughts in my heart can be stimulated,” Gao Cheng explained. “I actually checked it before I came here. It was originally called Secret Treasure Island. It was changed to Sad Island, and then it fell into the hands of the owner of Meizuo 10 years ago. Something seemed to have happened at that time.”
“Ting Bell!” The phone inside the wooden house rang suddenly.
“Is it a Jiroto detective?” Iwata’s butler contacted. “Supper may be delayed for a while. If you need it, you can go to the villa to get some snacks.”
“No, we brought our own snacks.”
…
Said it was postponed, but it was not until 9 pm that everyone was notified to go to the villa to dine, and because the stinking body of the island owner was only found during the day, everyone had no appetite.
At 10 o’clock in the evening, except for the uncle Kakimoto in camouflage clothes, everyone else stayed in the living room of the villa after dinner.
In the living room is a screen with a code written on it, and on it is a Japanese song.
“Zhu Tori is in the pu of a hundred-stone boat, and the bird is wailing in grief, moaning and the passing water, my demon eyes are gradually opening, the way of climbing the moon shadow, until the jade guarded by the mountain boy…”
In the sound of insects in the summer night, the treasure hunters silently watched the Japanese song on the screen, thinking about their meaning.
“After solving this waka mystery, you should be able to find the treasure, right?”
“The jade guarded by the mountain boy is a treasure…”
“I said Butler Iwata,” the bald man near the clock frowned, covering his nose, “have you not cleaned this clock yet?”
“Hug, sorry, I’ll wash it right away.”
“Strange,” the curly-haired man asked, “What about Persimmon himself? That guy is a famous treasure hunter. Why haven’t you seen him since just now?”
“Maybe I went back to my wooden house to study it,” the bald man snorted, “That guy is mysterious and probably doesn’t want to be with us at all.”
When Butler Iwata started cleaning the clock, the bald man got up and went out and said, “I’ll go out…”
Mei Zuobei returned to the living room with the dinner plate, just passing by with the bald man: “I brought everyone drinks and snacks… Where is Mr. Yatoshima going?”
“Go to the toilet,” the bald man said impatiently, “remember to leave me a bottle of drink.”
“Ok.”
“That,” Gao Cheng asked while drinking a drink, “Is there anything wrong with the coast behind the villa? When I went there before, a sign was erected at the intersection. The writing on it was not very clear, but it seemed that it was forbidden to enter.”
“It’s been stopped a long time ago,” the Iwata butler explained, “because there are intermittent fountains at noon every day, and hot spring water with a temperature of more than 120 degrees will be spewed.”
“So that’s it,” Gao Chenghou said in fear, “but there are geysers in this place, that is to say…”
Mei Zuobi smiled and said, “Yes, there is an open-air hot spring behind the villa.”
“Really? Then I’ll go…”
“Let’s go to the hot springs, Xiaolan!”
Before Gao Cheng could speak, Yuanzi decided to take a bath first, leaving Gao Cheng and Conan guarding outside by the way.
“It’s actually a mixed bath,” Gao Cheng regretted listening to the splashing water in the bath. “It shouldn’t matter if I go in for a bath, right?”
“Wow!”
A pot of hot spring water drenched Gao Cheng’s head over the fence.
“Bah, baah!” Following the afflicted Conan, wiped the corners of his eyes again and again~www.mtlnovel.com~ and then glared at Gao Cheng.
“Just kidding, don’t you need to splash me?” Gao Cheng wiped his face.
The hot spring water here has a strong smell because it contains sulfide, but it is also a rare natural hot spring. He originally wanted to relax and activate his thinking.
Look at it like this, I can’t make it today.
…
On the second day of the treasure hunt, Mei Zuobi prepared a rich breakfast early in the morning, and everyone gathered outside the villa to welcome the arrival of the new day.
“No way?” The doctor from the glasses village fire village said that his face was not so good. “Fried chicken legs, chicken wings… are all fried. I can’t eat these things early in the morning. My stomach is not good…”
“No, I’m very sorry,” Mei Zuobi bowed her head, “I just want everyone to cheer up, so…”
“Mr. Huocun, let’s eat some fruit first,” Gao Cheng said, biting the fried chicken leg. “I really like this breakfast. I didn’t have much good food yesterday.”
“Hey, what is this?!” The curly-haired uncle kicked out a torn Japanese doll from under the table, “Why is there such a thing here?”
The red ketchup on the doll was shocking at first glance.
“Who the **** is doing this kind of prank?”
“No,” Gao Cheng said solemnly, “This is not a prank. Someone is using these Japanese dolls to hint at the guests here…what about Mr. Iwata?”
“It seems to be looking for Mr. Kakimoto.”
“Speaking of which, I didn’t see that guy Kakimoto…”
“It’s not good!” Just as everyone was talking, butler Iwata ran out of the forest sweating profusely and hurriedly shouted, “Mr. Kakimoto has an accident!”
