Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 477: The Beginning of the Murder Case

"This island..."

Gao Cheng looked carefully, and it was really like what Taketomi said, the rocks had noses and eyes protruding from the forest, and the hill-like raised forest was too much like a turtle shell.

As the cruise ship approaches, in addition to seeing the pier, you can also see the perfect sandy beach surrounding the island...

Although the island is a bit small, and it won't take long for him to run around it, it is just right for him. It feels super nice after getting close, and the price should not be particularly expensive.

In terms of shortcomings, apart from being a little off, there is no one there, but the appearance of a dead person is a bit shocking.

"Actually, we used to come to this small island for diving," the man in the vest regretted. "But since the body was discovered, everyone felt very nervous and didn't dare to come here."

"Speaking of which," Hattori looked at several staff members and said, "Except for Director Taketomi, you all seem to be locals who are familiar with the nearby sea areas, right?"

"Yeah, we know there are many interesting places here," the dyed-haired young man in a sleeveless blouse eagerly looked at the young and beautiful He Ye, "How about it, let's go diving together after the video recording tomorrow..."

"No, no!" Hattori squeezed the two young staff members away with a sullen face, "Our schedule for the past few days has already been fully booked! They don't have the time to go diving with you!"

"Really?" The young man with dyed hair was stunned, "Who are they?"

"of course……"

"You can do whatever you want," a serious uncle with a cigarette in the bow cab suddenly interrupted everyone, and said in a low voice, "In short, everyone should hurry up and finish the work that needs to be done. In this place, when the sun goes down, those who It's no joke that ghosts are killing people."

"Ghost, ghost thing?" He and Ye became a little nervous.

"It's a legend in Okinawa," said the two young men fearfully. "At night, there will be hell messengers wearing black hoods, who will come ashore silently and take away the souls of living beings, especially young women..."

The female staff member said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, okay, I'm thinking about going diving after I get to the island!"

Gao Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and after the cruise ship docked safely, he followed Taketomi to the pier that stretched out from the long island.

indeed,

Of the staff who came to check out the spots, only the director Taketomi was decent, and the others were all locals.

The young man with dyed hair is Kume Yoshitsugu, 25 years old, and Shinro Ikema, a 24-year-old young man with a vest, looks not very mature. It can be seen that he still likes to have fun often, probably because he has been staying at the beach all the time, and his complexion is better than Hattori point.

Then there is the only female staff member, Ie Hirara, 26 years old, with dark skin like a mermaid, and looks like an athlete who is good at swimming.

In addition, there is the somewhat decadent and serious uncle Dadong Qianyan who stays at the bow, 47 years old, and the very gloomy captain who is silent from the beginning to the end, Xia Mo, 38 years old.

"It must be white," Hattori walked up to Gaocheng, but his gaze kept on looking at Ie Hirara who was going to change clothes in the cabin. "That woman's swimsuit must be a white one-piece swimsuit..."

"Please."

Gao Cheng ignored the confident Hattori, and turned his attention to the deserted uninhabited island in front of him.

Entering the pier, there is a sunken open space in front of the turtle-like forest. A dilapidated house is built on the edge of the forest, as dilapidated as a haunted house.

"That's right here," Taketomi led Gao Cheng to the wooden pillar in front of the house, "the corpse was leaning on the pillar when it was found, and there were words carved on it..."

Gao Cheng squatted in front of the wooden pillar, and found that there was a deep engraving on it, "The princess will sleep forever in the armor, not her own."

At first glance, it looks a little strange.

"Does this sentence really mean anything?"

"I don't know," Taketomi shook his head, "I heard that it was the corpse of a male who hadn't eaten or drank for several days and finally starved to death. When he found it, he leaned on these strange words, and he happened to find the corpse Some time ago, a strong typhoon hit this small island, and the locals said that he might have been killed and trapped here."

"Leave such incomprehensible words before dying..."

Gao Cheng checked the text by himself, but couldn't find anything special.

According to common sense, the victim would not leave such a message without knowing why before he died. There is no reason for the person who found his body not to understand, and he even blocked it with his body.

Now there are roughly two possibilities in this situation, one is being murdered, and you want to leave a message that will not be destroyed by the murderer, or... you want to send a certain message to a specific person, and it is inconvenient for others to know.

"Sure enough, it's not easy to understand," Hattori bent over and moved closer to the text, "Could it be that someone wrote it in advance?"

"Probably not," Taketomi said in a daze, "Usually hardly anyone comes here, and the mayor came here once before the typhoon hit. If there was an engraving at that time, he should have found it..."

"This is difficult," Hattori touched his chin in thought, "Why did he leave such a strange text?"

"Hey," He Ye looked curiously at the house in front of him, "Who built this house? How could there be such a house on an uninhabited island?"

"It's the house of the mayor of Jincheng."

Hira Ie wiped his hair and walked over: "I heard that it used to be a villa for vacation, but since the typhoon destroyed the house, it has not been renovated..."

"Huh?" Gao Cheng turned his head, was stunned, and stared at the white underwear exposed by Hira Ie unbuttoning the diving suit.

The serious uncle walked to the front of the house, and said with emotion: "This house is indeed a lot different from what I saw before. It's just like Taro Urashima's feeling after leaving Sea Dragon Palace..."

"Urashima Taro?"

Gao Cheng looked at the uncle suspiciously: "Have you been here before?"

"Ah, yes," the serious uncle replied, "About two years ago, I saw this place from a boat, because horse mackerel can often be caught around this island, but I haven't been here since then..."

"No way," the director Taketomi stood up from the message post, turned to several staff members and said, "It's getting late, everyone, let's start working. I'll discuss tomorrow's game with Detective Kido and the others here. Look around the island to see if there is anything suspicious, and by the way, see if there are any clues that might help solve the puzzle..."

"it is good."

A few half-hearted staff members seemed to be very talkative, and seemed to want to leave the island as soon as possible after work.

Gao Cheng silently watched a few people walk away, and found that there were still many seagulls hovering near the coast, and the calls that obviously had an ocean atmosphere sounded uncomfortable for some reason.

In fact, from the moment I set foot on this small island, I was not very comfortable...

"Let me go and look for it together," Gao Cheng calmed down, and then said, "Anyway, I'm not interested in tomorrow's game, so I might be able to find many interesting clues."
