Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 1175 Murder on Secret Treasure Island 3

Near the seashore of the island, the wooden house of the man Kakimoto in camouflage is next to that of the bald uncle Yashishima. Under the leadership of the housekeeper, everyone rushed to the wooden house for about 20 minutes. When they arrived at the scene, the door of the wooden house was still open, and there was a strong smell of blood. There is also the smell of corpses.

Inside the wooden house, blood that had turned reddish-brown was like splashed paint all over the walls and ceiling.

"Mr. Kakimoto's fatal injury was that the carotid artery in his throat was severed," said the male doctor with glasses as he examined the fragments of the corpse. That is to say, it was almost from 10 o'clock to 12 o'clock last night..."

"But it's too miserable," said the man with glasses, wiping off his sweat. "Blood even splashed on the ceiling, it's just like hell."

Others looked at Gao Cheng one after another.

I'm afraid there is no one here who doesn't know Gao Cheng...

"The time of death was indeed between 10:00 and 12:00 last night." Gao Cheng confirmed after checking.

The doctor's judgment was correct. The degree of stiffness of the corpse combined with the condition of the spots on the corpse was indeed killed before 12 o'clock.

However, there is one thing that the other party did not explain. The time for the murderer to dismember the body was 3 to 5 hours after that.

Although there were bloodstains everywhere at the scene, there was no bleeding between the severed hands and feet, which proved that the heart had stopped beating and the blood had coagulated when the body was dismembered...

It's just that why did the murderer wait for a few hours?

Gao Cheng picked up the notebook spread out on the side of the table.

Before the man in camouflage uniform was killed last night, he seemed to have found a clue to the treasure. On the note, the beginning of the waka "Red Bird" was drawn in a circle.

"10 o'clock to 12 o'clock?" The curly-haired man smiled. "If it was that time, except for Kakimoto, all of us were at the villa, right? That means everyone has an alibi..."

"That's not good," interrupted the foreign kid, "I remember everyone left the living room for more than 5 to 10 minutes!"

"So what? It takes at least half an hour to get here from the villa," the curly-haired man snorted coldly, "Anyway, I just went outside the villa to breathe for 10 minutes..."

Yuanzi and Xiaolan held hands worriedly: "We have been taking a bath behind the villa for more than 30 minutes, but we have been together all the time, and Ah Cheng has been guarding outside."

"Don't look at me," the bald uncle spread his hands, "I just went to the toilet, and it didn't take long. When I returned to the living room, Mr. Huocun just happened to leave..."

"I also went to the toilet," the man with glasses explained hastily, "Because I felt a little uncomfortable, I took some sedatives by the way."

Speaking of which, everyone turned to Butler Iwata and Misaku Bi.

"Although Steward Iwata and Miss Xiaobi have left several times, they only lasted about 5 to 10 minutes each time... In this way, everyone still has an alibi."

"How did this happen? Then who killed Kakimoto?! Damn it!"

"Calm down, everyone," Gao Cheng said as he walked out of the wooden house, "No matter who the murderer is, don't act alone, I will investigate as soon as possible..."

"Boring," the foreign kid left, "I'm going back to the wooden house first, call me when I'm eating."

"Chris..."

Everyone didn't seem to trust Gao Cheng very much. After the foreign kid left, they also returned to their wooden houses one after another. Only Misakubi, Butler Iwata and Sonoko were going to return to the island owner's villa.

"I'm going to go around the island."

After Gao Cheng informed, he took Conan into the relic forest on the island, preparing to draw a map of the island while investigating.

"Kiroto," Conan asked suspiciously, "Do you think the vermilion bird circled by Mr. Kakimoto has any special meaning? Those people seem to be looking at it as the reign name of the ancient emperor..."

"I think it should mean 'red torii',

Gao Cheng looked at the towering white torii gates in the relic forest, "You saw it when you came here, there are torii gates everywhere on this island, and there are a few by the sea..."

"But there are no red torii gates, only white, green and black."

"That's why I came here to investigate."

Gao Cheng knocked on the pillar of the white torii gate.

"This is made of marble..."

"Hey, hey," Conan said speechlessly, "Are you looking for a case or a treasure?"

"Don't you think this case has a lot to do with the treasure?" Gao Cheng said indifferently, "Mr. Kakimoto's notebook says that he found clues to the treasure, but he was killed that night. What if we also find clues to the treasure? "

The translation of the Waka on the screen probably means: The red bird perches on the beach where the hundred-stone ship is sailing, the bird is crying sadly, and my love is getting stronger and stronger like the rising tide of the sea flooding the beach.

After finally opening the devil's eyes, he walked along the moonlit road until he reached the treasure land guarded by the mountain boy...

The language seems to be quite straightforward, directly referring to the treasure, and the previous words also seem to be references, including "red bird", "seaside", "devil's eye"...

"I feel that this waka is describing the treasure hunting map," Gao Cheng judged, "so solving the mystery of the 'Red Bird' should be able to find the treasure."

Soon the two found the green torii by the sea.

"This one is made of rough emerald stone," Gao Cheng observed closely, "the engraving on it is the same as the white marble torii gate, and it is very likely that it was built by the same person... Then there is the black torii gate at the island owner's villa."

Turning around in a circle, the time gradually approached noon. When Gao Cheng and Conan returned to the island owner's villa, they happened to encounter the eruption of the coastal geyser below.

Accompanied by a burst of pungent yellow smoke, a stream of hot spring water sprayed out from the cracks in the rock towards the black torii gate, and the high-temperature steam immediately filled the air, making it difficult for people to approach.

"This is the geyser the steward said."

"Detective Kido," Misakubi shouted, "lunch is ready, are you hungry?"

"That's right," Gao Cheng rubbed his belly, "That kind of thing happened in the morning, and I didn't even have time to eat..."

"Then, are there any clues?" Misakubi asked worriedly, "Could the murderer be someone else hiding on the island?"

"It's unlikely, we didn't find any suspicious traces after we turned around."

Gao Cheng and Conan went to the villa for dinner together, and after a while, the others were also called over.

Although they gathered at the same table for dinner, the atmosphere was quite cold, with a breathless and depressing feeling.

"Acheng..." Yuanzi leaned towards Gao Cheng and Xiao Ai, she already regretted participating in this treasure hunting trip, if this continues, she will have nightmares at night.

"Actually, there's no need to do this, right?" The curly-haired man couldn't help but said, "Since everyone has an alibi, it means that the murderer is someone other than us, right? At least we can all believe..."

"Idiot," the foreign kid sneered, "don't you understand? Just look at the Japanese dolls on the altar table. Including those who sneaked in with fake invitation letters, there are a total of 10 people who can share the treasure. Now the island The master and Kakimoto were killed, and there are 8 people left, but there are only 7 dolls left on the table!"

"What?" The curly-haired man looked at the altar in shock.

People without invitation letters are not eligible to share the treasure, that is to say, Gao Cheng and Conan are only counted as two places, plus they happen to be 8 people.

"What does it mean?"

"That's what it means. These Japanese dolls obviously represent us. Whenever a doll disappears, it means that someone has been killed... In other words, there will only be one person left to enjoy the treasure among us. Of course, that person is The murderer!"
