Chapter 1717 The detectives who were brought into the pit~
On the dim trestle, Conan, Hattori Heiji and the others were running and chatting.
Suddenly, Conan saw the body hanging on the hull of the boat. His pupils shrank slightly, and then he pointed out: "Brother Hattori, Detective Kishui, look at the hull of that boat..."
Listening to Conan's words, Hattori Heiji and Koshimizu Nanatsuki all focused their attention on the boat, and then they also discovered the body hanging on the boat. They were all slightly startled: "Damn it! That... that's...
"
At the same time, Xiaolan and Ye who were running at the front also discovered the body and screamed together.
Conan, Hattori Heiji, Koshimizu Nanatsuki and the others quickened their pace and quickly reached the end of the pier. Then Koshimizu Nanatsuki snatched Conan's watch from his hands and took a look at the body on the boat, identifying the body.
Identity: "...This is... Captain Xiadi, looking at him like this, he should be dead..."
"Oh, yes!"
Conan, Hattori Heiji looked at Shimochi Takashi who was hanging by the neck and his head was covered with blood. Then he discovered that there seemed to be some writing next to the head of the corpse. He quickly asked Nanatsuki Koshimizu to shine the light on it, and he immediately saw that
A chilling blood word - I am a ghost from the Dragon Palace!
"Damn it! Those words again! It seems that the person who killed Captain Shimochi and the murderer who killed Miss Taira should be the same!"
Hattori Heiji grinded his teeth bitterly, while Conan dug out his pockets and looked at the ship in front of him: "Brother Hattori, now is not the time to talk about this. This ship should be the ship that brought us to the island, ours
The most urgent task is to survey the scene first!"
"Yeah, that's true."
Hattori Heiji and Koshizui Nanatsuki nodded together, and then Hattori Heiji rushed towards the ship, jumped and grabbed the railing of the passenger ship, turned over on the passenger ship, and then turned to Conan, Koshizui Nanatsuki said: "Conan
, Detective Yueshui, I will untie the rope that hangs the captain of Shimochi. You two get ready and drag the body to the trestle! And He Ye and Xiaolan, you two go stop Director Taketomi and let them
Don’t get close here, lest you damage the scene!”
"Well, we got it!"
Xiaolan and Ye nodded, immediately took a few steps back, and stopped Taketomi Masao and others who came over. Conan and the others worked together to move the body to the trestle and inspected the body.
Conan and the other three were very experienced and quickly determined the cause of Shimochi Chong's death. After looking at each other, they turned to look at the passenger ship and said: "Xiao Lan, He Ye, we are going to the passenger ship to investigate, you are here.
Wait!"
"OK."
Xiaolan and the others responded again. Conan, Hattori Heiji, and Koshimi Nanatsuki got on the passenger ship one after another and stood in front of the railing, all with solemn expressions. Hattori Heiji was the first to lower his voice and said: "Judging from the death of Captain Shimochi, he should
He died from a broken neck!"
"Yes! And after he died, the murderer hit him on the head several times with a steel pipe. This method was simply too cruel!" Koshimizu Nanatsuki agreed, "In my opinion,
The murderer must have a deep hatred for the deceased, otherwise he wouldn’t be so cruel! Also, I have some doubts now..."
When Koshimizu Nanatsuki said this, his tone paused slightly. Conan took over the conversation, glanced at Taketomi Masao and others who were stopped by Xiaolan and others on the trestle, and said with a smile: "...I suspect that the real culprit is those people.
Inside, right?"
"Yes!" Hattori Heiji also smiled slightly, and then looked at the cockpit, "...if this ship has that function, and it is the same as we speculated..."
The three people talked in low voices and walked towards the cockpit together. Then Conan said "Ah!", pointed at the deck and said: "Brother Hattori, Detective Kishui, look!"
Hattori Heiji and Koshimi Nanatsuki were stunned when they heard this, and then they looked along Conan's finger and saw that there was a very obvious water stain on the deck, and there seemed to be a few fish scales in the water stain!
"How is this water stain...possible?"
By the way, this water stain can be seen by looking at the penetration. It was definitely left not long ago, which also means that someone was on this ship not long ago!
However, if there had been someone on the ship just now, their speculation that "the murderer was among Masao Taketomi and others" would be completely untenable...
Conan, Hattori Heiji, and Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at each other, then rushed into the cockpit together, and started investigating:
"...The floor of the cockpit is also wet, and there are some fish scales on it. It seems that the person must have entered the cockpit!"
"The radar display here shows that the ship's sailing route not long ago was just a circle around Ghost Turtle Island..."
"There are also some water stains here on the console. It was obvious that someone had driven the ship just now. Also, it is shown here that the ship had been in automatic navigation mode before, and only switched to manual when it was less than 200 meters away from the island.
Sailing mode…”
"..."
The three detectives quickly found out the situation in the cockpit. After looking at each other, they all gave a wry smile——
By the way, they were thinking before that one of Taketomi Masao and the others might have taken advantage of the ship's self-navigation function to create the illusion that there were outsiders sailing the ship to eliminate their own suspicions. However, they didn't expect that after the investigation now, it was basically
That’s not what happened!
Just now, someone clearly drove a boat here!~
The three of them thought for a moment, and Nanatsuki Koshizui was the first to break the silence and said: "...Now it seems that the real murderer is indeed not among Director Taketomi and the others - there should be another murderer, and there is only one!"
"Yes! Judging from the situation here, the murderer should have been hiding on the island. After seeing the passenger ship approaching the pier, he swam from the sea and climbed onto the ship, and drove the ship into the pier..." Yueshui
After Nanatsuki finished speaking, Hattori Heiji nodded in agreement, holding his chin with one hand and said, "... Assuming there are more than two murderers, they don't need to set up automatic navigation at all. They only need to separate one person to stay on the ship. There is no need at all.
So many actions, but the murderer did not do this, it is enough to prove that he is only one person! As for his purpose of setting up automatic navigation and staying on the island..."
"... It should be to monitor us! Right?" Conan took over the words, with a knot on his forehead, "... But then again, what is the purpose of setting the passenger ship to circle the island and then come back? He
Anyway, why not just hide on the island and just let the boat sail away? Seeing as he deliberately hung the body of Captain Shimochi on the boat, could it be to warn or scare someone? "
After Conan finished speaking, Hattori Heiji and Koshimizu Nanatsuki also frowned:
