On the beach, Hattori Heiji and Conan squatted together, frowning and staring at the sand.
Hui Yuan Ai followed Chi Feichi and asked, "Have the traces been destroyed by the murderer?"
"A lot was destroyed," Conan looked a little more relaxed and looked at the traces on the beach, "but he missed the traces of Brother Chi pressing the cloth ruler."
Hattori Heiji used a flashlight to shine on the line pressed out on the sand. "The indentation on the edge of the cloth ruler is quite obvious, which proves that he indeed used that technique."
"The last person to leave the beach was..." Conan tried to remember.
"The murderer is Mr. Dadong," Chi Feichi said directly. "He is the 'Brother Qiandai' that Miss Xiaodu once wrote about, and he was the former butler of the mayor's family."
Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at Chi Feichi in surprise.
"Xiao Ai said that there are no 'Chiyo-gege' and 'Kasan' under the chairs in the living room, only 'Mama', 'I' and 'Mr. Jincheng'. This is because servants and housekeepers will not be in the living room or dining room.
Someplace like that to sit down..." Chi Feichi said, thanking Haiyuan Ai and Feichi for giving him this clue in advance, so that he no longer had to think of ways to look at the chairs in the living room.
Hattori Heiji touched his chin, "If you put it this way, Mr. Daito has indeed been standing at the door since entering the door and did not sit down. It is probably out of habit."
"Moreover, he said that he had only seen the island from a distance on the sea," Conan also said, "but when he went into the house to smoke, he opened the cupboard skillfully and seemed to know the house very well."
"Also, Miss Xiaodu gave people nicknames based on Japanese cities," Chi Feichi continued, "The pattern under Kasan should be a crow, because the pronunciation of the beginning of かぁわやん is the same as かぁかぁ, which means crow."
It is Matsumoto Castle, which is completely black and is called Karasu Castle. It refers to the maid Yoshiko Matsumoto who was killed by bandits four years ago. And "Chiyoda Brother" refers to Edo Castle, also known as Chiyoda Castle, which is a large city built in the east.
, corresponding to Mr. Daito's surname Daito, she originally wanted to remove the "江" in Edo Castle and only use the homophonic "Loach" of "Houcheng" to call Mr. Daito "Mr. Loach", so in the housekeeper
A loach was painted on the door, and later the title was changed to 'Brother Chiyo'..."
Hattori Heiji frowned, "Then he killed Miss Taira because..."
"Five years ago, the robber gang kidnapped Miss Xiaodu. Four years ago, the robber gang stole the mayor's golden screen and killed the maid Yoshiko Matsumoto," Chi Feichi said, "Then, they will take the golden screen
Where to put it?”
Conan's eyes lit up, "The robber gang couldn't sell the golden screen even after they got it. They had to put it into a box and sink it into the sea with an anchor. Miss Taira is a member of the robber gang. She dived to find the golden screen!"
"In this case, Mr. Daito killed Miss Taira to avenge Miss Koto and the maid Matsumoto?" Hattori Heiji said.
"Miss Xiaodu is not dead," Chi Feichi corrected, "Miss Pingliang is Miss Xiaodu."
"What?!" Hattori Heiji was surprised.
Chi Feichi did not rush to explain, but said, "Mr. Dadong has mentioned 'Urashima Taro' many times. You should know the legend of Urashima Taro..."
According to legend, Urashima Taro was a kind fisherman. Because he saved the turtle in the Dragon Palace, he was invited to the Dragon Palace as a guest and received hospitality from the Dragon Lady Othime.
Before leaving, Long Nu gave him a jade box and told him not to open it.
After Urashima Taro returned home, he found that the village had changed drastically, and his family and everyone he knew were gone. He opened the box, and the white smoke spewed out of the box turned him into an old man.
Just when he was frightened by his own transformation, he turned into a white crane and flew into the sky.
It turned out that although he had only spent a few days in the Dragon Palace, hundreds of years had passed on earth. His relatives and friends had all died of old age one after another, and the jade box preserved his youth, preventing his youth from being wasted by time.
, he couldn't resist his curiosity and opened the jade box, and he could no longer live forever.
This is a Japanese myth and legend, similar to the Chinese "Foolish Old Man Moves the Mountain". Many people have heard of it and can tell a general story.
"Combined with the fact that Funura Island is called Ghost Turtle Island because its shape resembles a turtle, 'The princess is sleeping in Naika not Yi' means that the princess is not with Otohime, that is, she is not in the underwater dragon palace, but on the turtle shell.
It's on this island," Chi Feichi continued, "I remember the report said that there was an egret painted on the golden screen, in the way Miss Xiaodu nicknamed it..."
"The city called White Egret City is Himeji Castle," Haibara Ai took over. "Hime, which refers to the princess, the bandit gang will use Miss Xiaodu's nickname to code the screen, which proves that they are related to Xiaodu.
Our relationship with Miss Du is unusual."
Chi Feichi began to restore the cause and effect of the whole incident.
"She was probably the one who planned Miss Xiaodu's kidnapping five years ago, but the mayor refused to pay her ransom, so she disappeared."
"Four years ago, Miss Xiaodu led others to steal the mayor's favorite screen, and accidentally killed the maid Miss Matsumoto on the way. However, the mayor also refused the ransom for the screen, so the robber gang packed the screen into a box and sealed it.
Catch the anchor and sink it to the bottom of the sea, planning to take it out after the incident is over."
"A year ago, a member of the gang of robbers went diving here to look for a box. He encountered a typhoon and the waves knocked the box to the island. Before he died, he left a secret message and told his companions that the screen was no longer in the sea, and
It’s on the island.”
"Mr. Dadong was familiar with Miss Xiaodu's way of naming people. After hearing the code, he guessed that 'princess' referred to the golden screen. He figured out the meaning of the code and asked the TV station to do the program."
"Because if the bandit gang knows that many people will come to Funura Island, they will definitely not be able to sit still. They will worry that the screen will be discovered by others, and they will find a way to sneak into the program group..."
"Afterwards, Mr. Daito also sneaked into the program team and gave the key to 'Urashima Taro'."
"Ordinary people don't know that 'princess' refers to a screen, which is an object, and they don't know that the screen was originally hidden in the sea. It is difficult to decipher the code. However, as a member of the bandit gang, Miss Taira understood it based on Mr. Dadong's tips.
The words left by my companions meant that the screen was on the island. I looked for it, but was killed by Mr. Dadong who was ambushing there."
In fact, the 'Ryuugu' that Mouri Kogoro mentioned before was similar to the 'Urashima Taro' that Daito Mikihiko suggested. He thought that Mouri Kogoro had already solved the mystery.
Even if it is not solved, the story told by Mouri Kogoro is not far from the truth.
The man really came to see the 'princess', and he left the message to tell others: 'Princess' is in place A, not place B.
If Kogoro Mouri continues to think about this line, he might be able to guess based on Taro Urashima's legend that the "princess" is not in the sea but on the island.
Although Kogoro Mouri may not necessarily know what ‘princess’ refers to, but if he can think of it, half the battle is won.
This is why he is eager to push the plot and collect clues.
I really can’t afford to offend my own teacher!
Hattori Heiji also thought of this, sweated, and quickly thought of another question, "But Mr. Daito let the ship sail away and left us here, which means..."
"He still has people he wants to kill!"
Conan and Hattori Heiji looked at each other and ran away again.
"They are really energetic," Hui Yuan Ai yawned. She came here by car in the early morning, swam and ran around the island. She was tired from running. "They already know Mr. Dadong's next move.
Who is the target?"
"Mr. Kume."
Chi Feichi turned his back to the sea, took out a cigarette case and lighter from his coat pocket, took a cigarette and lit it, "He was startled by the portrait of Miss Xiaodu before, which means he knew that Miss Pingliang was Miss Xiaodu."
, Miss Taira, who was mistakenly thought to have been killed, returned as a ghost."
A wisp of light white smoke floated into the sky, and was quickly carried away by the sea breeze and spread far away.
"Gah——!"
A black figure hovering in the sky smelled the faint smell of tobacco in the air. He turned around and swooped down towards two blurry black figures on the coast. A sharp and sharp cry echoed in the night sky.
Hui Yuan Ai was startled and quickly looked up.
Fei Chi also looked straight up and smelled a familiar smell in the strong wind blowing over. He was immediately overjoyed and said, "Fei Mo!"
Chi Feichi raised his arm and let Feimo, who was swooping down, stop on his arm.
"Master!" Feimo screamed again, leaning his head on Chi Feichi's sleeve and rubbing it, "I finally see you!"
Chi Feichi: "..."
He also wanted to say with emotion that he finally met Fei Mo.
But what’s going on with Fei Mo’s mental breakdown?
"Fei Mo?" Haiyuan Ai also used the faint light to see clearly the red eyes of the black crow.
Feimo was still shouting "gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" and confiding to Chi Feichi, "You don't know how I got through these days. I could only eat small fish, drink sea water, and occasionally go to the land to explore.
I also need to find a way to prepare some fresh water to drink. When I traveled across the sea in the past, there were human ships to ride on, human beers to drink, and food to eat. This time I flew for a long time before I could stay on Fei Li’s dorsal fin for a while.
, the wind, rain, sun and sun, if it weren’t for the two ships I met on the road, I wouldn’t even be able to see the shadow of an apple..."
"Did it fly here to find you on its own?" Huiyuan Ai took a closer look and found that the hair on Fei Mo's body was not as bright as before. He reached out and touched it. There seemed to be some hair on the abdomen that was still stuck together with brown patches.
, "It looks like blood. Is it injured?"
In her opinion, Fei Mo, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, suddenly appeared on an island far away from Tokyo. It was probably because Chi Fei Chi didn't tell Fei Mo before he left.
Chi Feichi screamed, accusing Chi Feichi of irresponsible behavior.
Feeling distressed.
Fei Mo was originally so black and bright that his hair turned dull.
Chi Feichi bit the cigarette, turned Feimo over, peeled off his hair and looked at it, "No."
Fei Mo, who was turned upside down: "Master, I'm fine, that's fish blood..."
If you don't turn it back, it will almost have brain congestion.
When Chi Fei Chi let go, Fei Mo quickly flapped his wings and flew towards the seaside, "Master, Fei Li is waiting for me over there. I'll go over and tell him that, by the way, there is a ship going over there."
Over here, there is a bloody male corpse hanging on the boat..."
"Why?"
Haiyuan Ai was a little surprised when he saw Feimo flying away again. He turned to look at Chi Feichi and asked, "Is it angry with you..."
"boom--!"
A ship hit the pier, and the loud noise from the collision interrupted Haihara Ai's words.
Soon, Hattori Heiji and Conan, who had just ran into the lighted hut, ran out again.
