"What is our purpose this time?" Toru Amuro asked, looking at the small ship in front of him.

Is there any mission that requires going to sea?

"This is it." Shuji Tsushima gestured while holding a newspaper.

"...Ghost ship...Is that gold said to be worth one billion yen? The organization is also eyeing it?" Toru Amuro asked, looking at the words and pictures in the newspaper.

Is the organization short of money? The black industry in various research institutes is obviously very prosperous...

"It's activity funds that you can use at your own disposal~" Tsushima Shuji replied in a relaxed tone.

"?" Toru Amuro was even more confused.

So what’s the point of sending them such a task? It’s not the funds the organization needs, but it’s just for them to look for it and use it for themselves.

He couldn't help but look towards Scotland.

Scotland shook her head at him helplessly.

His eyes looked suggestively at Tsushima Shuji standing aside.

Toru Amuro fell into thinking.

"It's a mission that Whiskey said casually to get rid of Kaa." Seeing the young man being the first to rush onto the boat, Scotland followed suit.

"You can think of it as playing with Kaa."

He whispered as he passed by Toru Amuro.

Toru Amuro:...whiskey...

Do you want to find something for Kaa to do and send him away?

He thought of the orange-haired boy he had met once before, and the broken scene in Kaa's apartment when he first met him.

It seems like the relationship is really not good.

"Have you seen that whiskey guy?" Zhufu Jingguang and Amuro Toru stood on the deck, and Zhufu Jingguang took this opportunity to ask.

"Ah." Toru Amuro responded.

"He is a young man who seems to have a very bad temper." This is how he described the young man with whom he had met once.

"...Before, Whiskey buried Kaa in the soil..." Scotland followed.

"Do they have a bad relationship?" he couldn't help but ask.

When listening to Kao's phone conversation with the other party...

It seems that the relationship is indeed not very good.

"Very bad." Toru Amuro nodded affirmatively.

They fight when they meet each other, and even when they communicate on the phone without meeting in person, they yell at each other through the phone.

"Speaking of which, that guy Kaa..." Where did he go?

Toru Amuro did not see the other party on the deck, nor did he find the other party in the cabin.

There was only one fishing rod standing nearby, and I didn’t know what I was fishing for.

etc……

Could it be...

Toru Amuro, who couldn't find anyone anywhere, fell into thinking and stepped forward to pull the fishing rod.

Didn't pull.

Toru Amuro:??What big guy did you catch?

"Scotland, look at what's caught on the hook for me." Toru Amuro said while pulling back the fishing rod.

"Okay." Scotland nodded, lying on the edge of the boat and taking a look underwater.

fell into silence.

He looked at the person who was caught for a moment.

"Bourbon... Come and see for yourself." Scotland said calmly.

"Huh?" What a big catch...

He looked at the boy in the water whose collar was pulled by the fishhook and fell into silence.

"Sure enough..." he sighed with unknown meaning.

Toru Amuro: I knew that Kaa couldn't just sit quietly and do nothing!

Tsujima Shuji, who was pulled up by two people, spat out seawater.

"Ah, it's so strange, why did I fall?" He sounded like he had lost his memory.

Toru Amuro: Haha, it looks like he’s pretending.

"Is it fun to fish by yourself?" Toru Amuro asked with a smile.

"Hey, I was discovered!" The young man said in a surprised tone, but his face was extremely calm.

"The way the fishhook grabbed your collar, you can tell at a glance that you hung it yourself..." You guy didn't even think about hiding it!

Wait...could it be...

Kaa is testing my observation skills?

"I just want to try what kind of fish I can catch..."

"There is no fish at all." The young man sitting on the deck, covered in water, sighed.

Toru Amuro: Oh, I’m overthinking it.

The three people did not approach the port, but drove the boat to the deserted shore.

"Then, Scotland, go and find the information." Shuji Tsushima said, lying peacefully on the deck basking in the sun.

"For example, the ghost legends on the island... and the scary places." He reminded with his eyes closed.

"Bourbon, you stay."

Toru Amuro did not object.

His appearance and presence are too high to be suitable for asking for information.

So Scotland, who didn't have much presence in appearance, quietly went to get information alone.

When he comes back, he will bring them a terrifying legend.

"...the dead navy souls can kill people...they live in the caves over there..." Scotland told them about the local legends he had learned about.

"Hey... let's go on an adventure in the cave!" Tsushima Shuji, who was drying himself like a fish, sat up and suggested enthusiastically.

"Kaa, are you...interested in these?" Scotland asked.

I haven't seen the other party watching programs about horror legends, but I watch the program called "With Mom" ​​every day.

"Not interested." The boy gave a negative answer.

"But I want to go." He said confidently.

Scotland:...Is that so?

The three of them avoided the crowds and came to the cave where the legendary dead marines lived.

As soon as I stepped into the cave entrance, I heard the roaring echo, as well as the sacrificial supplies placed in the cave.

"This sound..." Scotland touched his chin and looked around.

"It must be the wind." Toru Amuro answered.

"There are other cave entrances here." Scotland agreed with the other party's answer and looked for the cave entrance.

The two pushed open the altar placed in the center of the cave.

Another hole was revealed that was blocked at the rear.

"This is..." Scotland looked at the hole.

"The secret has been discovered, Scotland." Bourbon said with great interest.

"Want to go down? Kaa." Scotland asked.

"After all, it's a big secret, how could you not go?" The young man answered in the affirmative.

After the three people walked into the cave entrance, Scotland moved the altar back to its original position and blocked the cave entrance again.

"Well, after all, it is a secret that cannot be discovered." He said.

"ah."

"You're right."

Follow the stairs at your feet all the way to the depths.

All that was seen were broken stone walls and sea water.

But there was a bamboo raft quietly placed on the shore.

"I found nothing." Scotland looked around and said helplessly.

"Ah...actually..." Tsushima Shuji was about to speak.

There was movement again from above.

The sound of the altar being moved away, and... the sound of people's footsteps.

The three of them looked at each other and found a place to hide in a tacit understanding.

First, I saw a man running in in a panic, gasping for air, and then an older man came.

The old man, who had no idea that there were three other people hiding in the cave, forced a series of questions from the man's mouth.

Then he shot the opponent in the temple.

He then put the pistol into the other person's right hand in an attempt to create the illusion that the other person committed suicide.

Then he looked around furtively and ran out.

When the sound of the moving altar was heard again from above, the three of them walked out from the corners where they were hiding.

"I didn't expect to witness this murder..." Scotland's tone was incomprehensible.

"No...we should have thought of it earlier." Toru Amuro shook his head.

After all...Kaa came with them.

Isn't it normal to encounter a murder?

"You are really lucky." Shuji Tsushima said in a relaxed tone.

"I learned the truth about the so-called ghost ship as soon as I came here..."

"However, if I were that old man, I wouldn't put the gun in this guy's right hand." The young man said with disdain.

"I used my right hand to hit my left temple. Do you think your hand is too long and willful?" He pointed to the large blood stain on the right side of the corpse's face and the bullet hole on the left side that was obviously larger than the right side.

"It's really imprudent." He said, taking out the gloves from his body and putting them on himself, and put the gun in the corpse's right hand into his left hand.

"At least this will make it appear that the old man has used his brain," he said.

Although it is estimated that no one will be able to see this body...

Wait... let's give Kudo Shinichi-senpai a chance to discover it.

Otherwise, it would be too pitiful for senior detectives who have no chance to show off their reasoning abilities~

"So I only saw one murder..." The man with blond hair and purple eyes had a bored expression on his face.

Even if the man was killed, he didn't tell where the gold was.

It feels like this trip was in vain.

"If Bourbon feels that he came in vain... Treasure will feel aggrieved." Shuji Tsushima said as he took out his mobile phone.

"What is the most overlooked thing? Of course it is the thing that is stepped on~" He poked at the steps that the three of them stepped on when they walked down.

He dug out a brick and knocked it on the stone wall, revealing the golden body covered by the soil.

"It's not in vain, right?" he said.

"Are these bricks all the same?" Toru Amuro frowned in thought.

How to take these gold bricks away?

A strange sound suddenly came from the water nearby.

"Ah, here we come." Tsushima Shuji said as expected.

"It's..." What?

Bourbon and Scotland also looked up.

I happened to see a small submarine emerging from the water.

Of course, although it is said to be small, it is actually quite large.

"Move all the gold bricks into the submarine..." Shuji Tsushima motioned for the two of them to start dismantling the steps.

"...When was this arranged?" Toru Amuro asked after being silent for a moment.

"Hey? There are as many such things as there are under the sea. There is a big guy hiding under the sea here." The young man stood aside playing with his mobile phone, his eyes were heavy and his tone was lazy.

So Scotland and Bourbon began to move the bricks.

As a result, the two of them were stunned when they realized that they had finished moving the bricks.

"Robots are still more useful than you." The young man sitting next to the corpse and playing with his mobile phone sighed without raising his head.

The two lowered their heads and realized that Brick was actually moving in the direction of the submarine.

Scotch & Bourbon:???

Robot? Where is it?

Toru Amuro bent down and picked up a brick, but found a black, ant-like thing the size of a finger at the bottom of the brick.

But bigger than an ant.

"This is……"

"Engineering black ants version 2.0, used to kill people and steal goods... ah no, it's perfect for transportation projects~" the young man introduced to them in a brisk tone.

"Although it looks small, it can carry things a hundred times larger than itself~" Tsushima Shuji picked up a hard-working black ant from the ground and said.

Black ants that don't struggle at all are obviously no fun.

So he put it back on the ground and let the other person start moving bricks on their own initiative.

Bourbon: ...then what do you mean you didn't say anything at first and asked us to move the bricks?

Sure enough, Kaa’s words cannot be believed!!

But you can always trust the reasoning of junior high school detective Tsushima Shuji.

"Ah, by the way, I have to give them a step back..." Tsushima Shuji said.

"Repay them?" The two members of the organization looked puzzled.

Is there any reason for the organization to return something after it has been taken away?

"Well... let's go first, and then we'll leave it to the black ants." He directed the black ants to re-create the steps using the surrounding rocks.

While standing up, he turned around and entered a submarine without hesitation.

The two Scots also quickly followed in.

The submarine floating on the water sank again.

"Black Dragon God, set off——."

In the cave, the engineering black ants are diligently carrying out their great work of building ladders.

After they are all finished, they consciously hide them in cracks or holes.

Except for the corpse holding the gun, there was no other living thing in the cave.

Edogawa Conan, solving the case in progress.

I came to the cave and found the man dead there.

Then I met the murderer of the case.

"Speaking of which, is it okay for those engineering black ants to stay there?" Scotland asked in the comfortable cabin of the submarine.

"It doesn't matter, there won't be any problems left." The young man sat in his seat, looking at the scenery of the deep sea outside the window, his iris-colored eyes were indifferent, and his tone was low.

——

"boom--"

There was an explosion on a mountain on the island.

The entire mountain completely collapsed into pieces, and from then on the island lost another piece.

"hateful--"

Edogawa Conan, who escaped on a bamboo raft, looked at the collapsed cave behind him with an ugly expression.

This was definitely not a natural collapse, but caused by a bomb explosion.

Who is it...
