Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 482 Midnight Shadow

"You, what do you mean?"

Director Taketomi's face turned pale: "Could it be that the murderer is among us?"

"That's right," Hattori looked at the others and said, "Miss Hirashi, the director, you and Mr. Dadong disembarked behind us. The last person to leave the boat at that time could take the opportunity to kill the captain..."

"It's true that I was the last one to disembark," the serious uncle interrupted, "but after I disembark, they can also sneak back to the boat, and, brother, did you forget one thing?"

The serious uncle snorted: "Didn't you say that when you found Kume's body before? The murderer left those strange words before you arrived. How could we do it?"

"That's right," the man in the vest nodded and said, "You said those words were written when the tide was low, and they didn't last long, otherwise they would definitely be washed away by the waves..."

"Also, those words are exactly the same as the handwriting written in blood on the ship. The murderer should be the same person. If this is the case, all of us can't be the murderer..."

The serious uncle said with a smile: "The murderer may want to set a trap, making us think that the murderer is among our own people, and after falling out, we will fall into confrontation, so that he can reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Hattori frowned, but did not refute with a sullen face.

These people are right...

"Okay," He Ye looked at the dignified atmosphere, and quickly said, "Now that the boat is back, I think we should go back to the island to talk about it..."

"I'm afraid we won't be able to go back," Gao Cheng walked onto the deck from the pilothouse, "the fuel on the boat can't last to the main island, and the radio has also been damaged, and everyone's luggage seems to have been thrown into the sea..."

Everyone looked at Gao Cheng with surprise on their faces: "How could this happen?"

"It seems that the murderer is deliberately trapping us on this island..."

Gao Cheng strolled away from the cruise ship with his hands intertwined, stopped when he passed the captain's body, and said, "For safety's sake, you'd better stay in that house and wait for rescue as before."

"Kito, what about you?" Hattori looked at Gaocheng seriously.

"I don't care. Find a room to rest and wait until dawn to investigate again. There should be gains."

"we can only do this.

"

Hattori looked unwillingly at the pitch-black sea.

...

In the second half of the night, although the weather has not improved, it has not deteriorated either. Except for the strong wind and waves at sea, there is no storm.

Just as everyone in the villa was dozing off, a black shadow quietly slipped out of the house, avoided Hattori and Conan hovering near the pier, and rushed through the forest to the back of the island.

The ups and downs of the sea beat the sand, and with the faint water light, you can still see the places where the words "I am the messenger of hell" and many messy footprints are left.

The black shadow cautiously looked around, smiled coldly, and carefully began to erase the words on the sand.

"Mr. Dadong," Gao Cheng and Hattori walked out of the forest with a flashlight shining on Soi Ying, "It's so late, isn't it dangerous to come out alone?"

"What?" The shadow froze, blocking the light that pierced his eyes, and looked at Gao Cheng with an ugly expression, "Detective Kido? I just want to come and investigate..."

"Really? Erasing the text left by the murderer is also an investigation?"

Gao Cheng approached calmly, and the light shone on the half-erased words.

"What are you talking about, Detective Chenghu?" The serious uncle stood up and said with a dry smile, "I just followed after seeing a black shadow. Do you think I'm the murderer? I was..."

"Staying on the boat all the time, it's impossible to leave these words, right?" Gao Cheng interrupted, "However, what if these words were written before gathering at the pier?"

The serious uncle said in astonishment: "Before the assembly? If I wrote it at that time, it would be washed away by the high tide soon, right?"

"The premise is that the sea water can wash it away."

Gao Cheng walked to the edge of the undulating waves, chuckled and said, "Actually, when we discovered this place, the tide didn't ebb at all, but the tide just happened to be high..."

"Haha," the serious uncle said with a smile, "Don't be kidding, everyone has seen that the place one meter above the head of the corpse is wet, which shows where the waves hit when the tide is high. No matter how we think about it, we can see When the tide is low..."

Hattori shook his head and interjected: "I'm ashamed to say that we were misled by you. We made a wrong judgment just because the sand on the beach was wet. We thought it was the result of low tide, but..."

Hattori looked at Gao Cheng depressedly, and continued: "Actually, you just write these words in a place where the waves cannot reach when the tide is high, and then put the corpse next to it. It's not hard at all."

"It's funny," the uncle's face turned cold, "Even if I use a bucket, there's no way to make the sand on the whole beach wet like that?"

"It's not a bucket. You just borrowed the waves from the boat to make the higher places on the beach wet. You should have expected that the captain would sail around the island before the agreed gathering time..."

Gao Cheng took the sealed box from Hattori and opened it, revealing the golden screen inside.

"You know that the captain will look for the golden screen that was originally sunk on the bottom of the sea, but was washed away by a typhoon, and is called the 'princess' by the bandits..."

"Princess?"

"Don't tell me you don't know, the words left on the wooden pillar will be incomprehensible if you look at it alone, but if you read Urashima Taro's story and this island together, you will be able to know the secret code... ..."

Gao Cheng quietly looked at the serious uncle.

"Yes, it is Urashima Taro and Hailong Palace who were mentioned inadvertently in front of the house. The Jiayi in that sentence is not Jiayi, Jiayi, Bingding, but refers to the turtle and the princess Oji in Hailong Palace, so the whole sentence It means that the place where the princess sleeps is not in the sea, but in the tortoise-like forest of Ghost Turtle Island...

"Back then, the bandit group sealed the golden screen in a box and sank it together with a small boat into the sea with an anchor, but it was hit ashore by a typhoon. The most obvious evidence is that the small boat that is now hidden in the forest, broken. The anchor is still on the seabed near the pier, and there is only a piece of iron chain left on the hull..."

Seeing that the serious uncle frowned and didn't speak, Gao Cheng continued: "When the typhoon hit, one of the bandit group ran to this island to check the situation because he was worried, only to find that the sunken boat had been washed up on the island. However, before he could inform his companions, the boat he was on was blown away by the typhoon, and he who was trapped here wrote down those words for his companions...

"Later, if you noticed the meaning of the text, you should use the opportunity of this reasoning show to take revenge on the bandit group that may come, because if they still want to find the screen, the best chance is to sneak into this place disguised as a staff member. On an island..."

"Really?" The serious uncle said with a smile, "It's quite an interesting reasoning, it sounds like it's true."
