Conan: Another Famous Detective

Chapter 70: Being on guard against others

"Tell me, what happened on the Dragon God seven years ago?" Yu Gongming asked.

Aoki was silent for a while, sighed and said:

"Seven years ago, when the Dragon God sailed near this small island, due to a storm, the entire ship almost capsized, and all of us fell into the sea. Fortunately, I and the Dragon God were washed up on this small island. In the cave, I then worked on the island as a foreigner while secretly salvaging the gold that fell into the sea.”

"And the Dragon God, because the entrance to the cave has collapsed, the Dragon God has stayed in that cave."

"Until recently, I finally salvaged all the gold and was ready to leave the island with the gold."

"However, after another storm, the Dragon God suddenly appeared again, and the search for gold started again on the island. The village chief, Takeo Mikami, kept a close eye on all the people and goods coming in and out. I never found a chance to leave. "

"Unexpectedly, Kinoshita Goro has suspected me for a long time. Tonight he suddenly came to the lighthouse to look for me. Then he knocked me out when I was not prepared. He tied me here and forced me to ask me about the whereabouts of the gold..."

He looked at Xian Yu, Gong Ming and the others with complicated eyes: "If you hadn't arrived in time, I would have been in a much worse situation."

Akira Hanamong put his hands casually into his coat pockets and asked calmly: "So, you made that colored ball this afternoon just to kill us to stop us from looking for gold?"

"Yes, after all, I have heard about the names of you two famous detectives. I am really afraid that you will find gold." Aoki said.

After getting the answer he wanted, Yu Gongming silently turned off the voice recorder in his pocket.

Since the last time I saw Meng Yu recording Conan's dark history with a voice recorder, Yu Miyazaki also bought one and usually carried it with him when going out to accept commissions.

"What's the relationship between Uehara and you?"

"He was also a crew member of the Dragon God. I didn't expect him to survive." Aoki said.

Yu Gongming thought for a moment, nodded slightly and said:

"Okay, I have nothing more to ask. Now you can come with us to the police on the island,"

Akira Hanomiya first put on the absorbent gloves he carried with him, then untied Aoki, squatted down, and picked up the blood-stained cane that had beaten Aoki.

boom!

Suddenly there was a muffled sound behind him.

Yu Gongming turned around and saw Aoki's legs in a running shape, and his figure had already passed Meng Yu.

However, his body was frozen there at this time.

The next moment, he seemed to have lost his support and fell forward to the ground.

"He just wanted to run away."

Mengyu retracted the hand knife that was struck backwards, and Yun Danfeng said lightly.

"Let's just hand these two guys over to the police on the island."

Conan silently took back the sight cover that had been opened.

…………

Shikishima Police Station.

Yu Gongming told the story in general, but concealed the gold matter.

"So that's what happened, thank you Detective Hanomiya."

After listening to Hanomiya Akira's account, the police on the island packed the vines, ropes and other evidence into evidence bags as they spoke.

"But Detective Hanomiya, how could you be in a place like that in the middle of the night?" the police officer in charge asked in confusion.

Yu Miyazaki glanced at Conan pretending to be helpless and said: "This child is not yet here. He sneaked out to explore in the middle of the night. After I found out that he was missing, I went out with my friends to look for him. Then I found him near the woods where the crime occurred. I also heard that Went to the strange noise coming from the woods and went in to take a look.”

When Conan heard this, he couldn't help but raise his half-moon eyes.

In his heart, he refused to take the blame, but if he didn't take the blame, he couldn't think of any other reasonable explanation for why the three of them were running around in the middle of the night.

"That's it." The police officer in charge suddenly realized that this explanation was reasonable.

"Then Detective Hanomiya, please go back and rest quickly. I will take custody of these two people first, and then I will hand them over to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."

"Wait, can you borrow your phone? I still know some friends at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. I'll call them and ask them to come over as soon as possible." Akira Hanomiya said.

When the police heard this, they looked embarrassed and said:

"Sorry, there was something wrong with the signal base station yesterday. Now you can only make calls to the landline on the island."

"Is that so... Okay, let's take our leave first." Yu Gongming said.

Afterwards, the three people left the security station and returned to the public hall.

The matter has almost been figured out, and there is no need to go to the lighthouse anymore.

"Hey! Yumiya, why are you hiding the gold?" Conan asked.

"Because I don't trust the police on the island." Yu Gongming said calmly.

"You mean..." Conan's eyes narrowed.

"Judging from the arrogant and arrogant attitude of the village chief, the police on the island may not have anything to do with him. Once he tells the story about the gold, the police may inform Takeo Mikami."

"Mikami Takeo's ultimate goal is to embezzle the gold. He will definitely try his best to avoid the police's intervention. Therefore, when he knows that Kinoshita Goro is trying to get the whereabouts of the gold from Aoki, there is no guarantee that he will not directly destroy the evidence of the crime and secretly take the two Handle it personally." Yu Gongming said.

Mengyu also showed a look of surprise:

"So, you deliberately did not mention the gold. Kinoshita and the two are in a coma. When they wake up, they will not reveal the gold out of self-preservation."

"In this way, even if Mikami Takeo will be informed about the arrest of the two Kinoshita in the end, it will be at least after daytime. By then we will have probably found the gold."

"Although, there is another problem. I tried just now and dialed your number with my mobile phone, but your phone did not respond."

Yu Gongming took out his mobile phone and checked:

"I don't see missed calls here either."

"It seems that there is indeed something wrong with the base station. I'm afraid this is not a coincidence." Conan said seriously.

"It's probably the village chief's work again." Yu Gongming sneered.

"It's essential to be on guard against others. Since we can't contact the outside world for the time being, we have to make plans early." Meng Yu said.

"Well, then let's assume what situations we may encounter and make corresponding plans..."

Akira Hanomiya motioned for the three of them to get together, and then began to deduce the possible situations they would encounter tomorrow.

…………

"That's about it. Tomorrow morning, we will find the batch of gold first, and then inform Takeo Mikami that if he honors the commission fee as agreed and sends us away, then everything will be easy. But if he has other thoughts, then we won't You need to be polite." Yu Gongming finally concluded.

The plan was decided, and the three of them were silent all the way, and soon returned to the village chief's residence.

Of course, they all sneaked back to the room. Xiaolan and Mouri Kogoro were both fast asleep, and they didn't seem to notice the three people leaving.

The three of them were a little sleepy after running around in the middle of the night, and soon fell asleep after lying down.
