"Uehara, I, I will never tell you. No one on the island dares to disobey Lord Spiritual Master's order. As long as I hand over the gold to him, he will definitely protect me."
"..."
"Hamada? Hamada! Damn it! Why is this guy not breathing? What should I do now? Where is the gold? Where did he hide the gold in the navy cave?"
"..."
"Ah! Why is it you? Kinoshita Goro? What do you want to do?"
"Please just stay here honestly for now, Mr. Uehara... rustle... thump..."
Conan listened to the soft sound coming from the earphones, took off the earphones, and looked solemn.
He just found another surveillance recording in the surveillance equipment, and the amount of information in this recording was very large, almost filling in all the missing links in his reasoning.
Koji Hamada and Yasuo Uehara were both crew members on the Ryūjin. Seven years ago, in order to monopolize the one billion yen of gold on board the Ryūjin, Koji Hamada pushed the ship owner and Yasuo Uehara into the sea and hid the gold in the sea.
On the island.
In the afternoon, Uehara Yasuo rescued Hamada from the detention room and knocked him unconscious in order to force him to find out the specific location of one billion yen of gold.
It's a pity that Yasuo Uehara and Koji Hamada didn't know that all of this was being monitored by Kinoshita Goro.
After Uehara Yasuo killed Hamada by mistake, Kinoshita Goro immediately went to find him and attacked Uehara Yasuo. Then, Kinoshita Goro was worried that Uncle Mori would find the location of the gold on the island, so he used Hamada's body to frame him.
.
As for how Kinoshita Goro managed to move the body without anyone noticing, Conan also had some vague guesses -
According to the village chief Takeo Mikami, the Self-Defense Forces night patrol route in the Shikishima residential area tonight was completely planned by Kinoshita Goro. As long as Kinoshita Goro made arrangements in advance and created a blank period at the public hall where no one passed by, it would be completely
You can quietly carry the body to the front of the public hall, and then lead Uncle Maori there!
Conan stretched out his hand to hold his chin and stood up:
"Mr. Kinoshita seems to be protecting the scene at the public hall and guarding the body, right?"
"...As long as we find him and question him face to face, everything should be revealed!"
"...that guy Shu Yunwen, what are you talking about going to the crime scene? No matter how powerful he is, can he be faster than me asking the murderer directly? Huh! Stupid Shu Yunwen, I must win this time!"
Conan thought about this, with a proud smile on his face. At this moment, Uncle Maori's voice came from the walkie-talkie next to him: "Conan! Where are you? Get back here quickly! I want you to look good.
!”
"Eh~~" The corner of Conan's mouth twitched, and he quickly pressed the intercom button to reply, "Sorry, uncle, I understand. I'll go back right away~"
…
South of Shikishima, inside the cave where Yasuo Uehara's body was found.
Mikami Takeo looked at Shu Yunwen in surprise: "Master Yunwen, is it true that the murderer hasn't gone far yet?"
"That's right." Shu Yunwen nodded, "...I can tell how long a person has been dead just by looking at his soul. The time can be accurate to seconds. From the time the murderer committed the murder, he had to disguise the scene.
, and the traces of the scene may need to be cleaned up, so I must not have gone far..."
As Shu Yunwen spoke, he turned to tell Chengshi, Mingmei said: "Chengshi, please, please look around."
"Okay, Lord Yunwen."
Cheng Shi, Mingmei agreed and left, and flew back to Shu Yunwen about five or six seconds later: "Sir Yunwen, there is no one within a hundred meters around. However, there seems to be some movement in the direction leading from here to the village.
But because the distance is a bit far and there are trees blocking it, I can’t see clearly..."
"...the direction leading to the village?" Shu Yunwen smiled slightly and walked out of the cave:
"Village Chief Mikami, leave two people here to guard the body. Let's go look for it together and see if we can find the murderer!"
…
In front of the public hall.
The villagers have all returned home, leaving only the police and some self-defense members standing guard here.
Uncle Maori leaned against the wall of the public hall angrily, while Xiaolan looked worried: "...Where did Conan go?"
"...Who knows? I will definitely teach this little devil a lesson when he comes back!" Uncle Maori waved his fist.
Xiaolan glared at Uncle Maori: "Dad, you will scare Conan! He is just a child..."
The two people were talking when they suddenly saw a small figure running over in the distance. Xiaolan's eyes lit up and she quickly said loudly: "Conan! Really, you know how to run around, I'm worried to death...
…”
"Ah~ I'm sorry, Sister Xiaolan."
Conan apologized, and Uncle Maori rolled up his sleeves and glared at Conan: "You little brat, you only know how to cause trouble, let's see how I deal with you!"
"Ah?" Conan blinked, then quickly waved his hand and backed away, turned around and ran away, "Uncle Maori, I don't dare anymore~"
"Huh? Do you still dare to run? Stop right now!" Uncle Maoli clenched his fists and chased after her. Xiaolan covered her face speechlessly - she was really embarrassed to see others.
Conan led Uncle Maori in a circle. Seeing that Uncle Maori still refused to give up, Conan reluctantly opened the watch-shaped anesthesia gun and aimed at Uncle Maori and fired.
The anesthesia needle pierced Uncle Maori's riddled neck, and Uncle Maori leaned against the wall unsteadily.
Conan looked at the stunned Uncle Maori and said "Sorry" in his heart, then took out the bow tie voice changer and imitated Uncle Maori's voice: "...I understand! I understand everything! Xiaolan, please
Please ask Mr. Kinoshita to come here, I have figured out all the inside information in this case!"
"What?" Xiaolan was a little dazed, but she was somewhat accustomed to her father's situation. She smiled dryly and said, "...Dad, Mr. Kinoshita went to the bathroom just now. It's not like you didn't know..."
"What?!" Conan was stunned for a moment when he heard Xiaolan's words, then he was shocked and jumped out and asked, "Sister Xiaolan, when did Mr. Kinoshita go to the bathroom?"
"Just after you left."
Xiaolan answered softly, and then the self-defense team member next to him smiled and said: "... Speaking of which, Mr. Kinoshita seems to be really uncomfortable today. He keeps going to the bathroom and it takes a long time."
"...Yes, there are many things going on on the island, but Mr. Kinoshita still insists on working even though he is not feeling well. I really admire him..."
The members of the Self-Defense Forces were talking among themselves, but Conan's expression was very solemn——
Keep going to the bathroom? Are you feeling unwell?
No! All this is just a cover-up! Kinoshita Goro probably went home to listen to the surveillance content when he was excused to go to the bathroom, or went to Uehara Yasuo's hiding place to attack Uehara and move the body...
Now, Kinoshita Goro's plan to frame Uncle Mouri has failed. In order to cover up this matter, his next plan is probably to kill Yasuo Uehara who knows everything!
