The cave is so deep that there are even artificial stone steps on the ground.
Conan walked down the stone steps, and when he saw the sea outside the cave, he suddenly found that the stone steps under his feet had changed!
Originally, the steps should have been covered with moss, but there was no moss on the steps below.
Obviously, the steps below are closer to the sea, and the air is more humid, so it should be easier to grow moss.
But there is no one below!
【Could it be…】
Conan continued down the steps and came to the edge of the cave.
The cliff is also very new, indicating that it has just collapsed.
The cliff at the top of the cave also has traces of friction.
[I understand, the Dragon God has been hidden here. 】
[It should be the typhoon ten years ago that caused the entrance of the cave to collapse, so the boat was blocked inside. 】
[The typhoon some time ago caused the entrance of the cave to collapse again, so the boat floated out. 】
【As for the gold on the ship, it was probably disguised as bricks by that person named Ben Tian, ​​who made stone steps…】
[It’s just, who transferred the gold disguised as bricks? 】
[Is it Penang? Or the murderer who killed Pentian? 】
Conan returned to the stone steps and touched the stone steps on the ground.
The gold on it should have been taken away a few days ago, so… is it the murderer?
But, how did the murderer transfer so much gold?
Where did the gold go again?
step~step~
Conan suddenly heard two footsteps, and when he looked up, he saw that Shangyuan Yasuo standing in front of his eyes.
“Little brother, thank you so much! Thank you for helping me find this place!!” Shangyuan Yasuo was full of excitement.
He didn’t look for it in the navy cave, but this kid found it for himself!
As long as this kid is dealt with, I have plenty of time to look for gold here!
“Little brother, come to uncle~!” Kamimoto Yasuo reached out and grabbed Conan.
He did not draw his gun.
a six sevenIt’s just a year-old brat, where do you need a gun?
Guns, that’s for others!
Conan backed away quickly.
“Don’t run away, little brother, you can’t escape~!” Kamimoto Yasuo approached Conan unhurriedly.
This is a cave, and the sea is outside.
The only way out of here is the cave behind him.
How could this kid escape?
Conan stood next to a stone about the size of two fists, squatted down, and activated the foot strengthening shoes.
“Uncle, don’t you want to know where the gold is?” Conan asked suddenly.
“Little devil! You found gold!?” Kamimoto Yasuo’s face was full of excitement, and his eyes were full of greed.
“Gold is under your feet!” said Conan.
“What?” Shangyuan Yasuo lowered his head subconsciously.
Immediately afterwards, a stone flew over and hit his head, knocking him unconscious.
When Yasuo Shangyuan fell, the pistol hidden in his clothes fell out.
Conan came to Shangyuan Yasuo.
“The gold was indeed under your feet before, but I don’t know who moved it away.”
Shangyuan Yasuo should not be the murderer who killed Bentian.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t come here looking for gold again.
The person who killed Bentian and transferred the gold away was someone else!
In Conan’s mind, the red-haired delinquent boy appeared again.
At first, he was suspicious of these two people.
Now, the suspicion of Shangyuan Yasuo has been ruled out, so there is only one person left!
Conan took out his mobile phone, but there was no mobile phone signal in the cave.
I can only leave the cave, call Mori Kogoro, and ask him to bring someone over to arrest Shangyuan Yasuo.
Although Yasuo Shangyuan didn’t kill anyone, he hid a pistol on his body after all.
It’s also illegal.
Soon, Mori Kogoro arrived with inspectors and villagers and took away the unconscious Shangyuan Yasuo.
Before taking it away, I taught Conan a lesson.
How dare you come to this kind of place alone, it’s just nonsense!
Yasuo Shangyuan was taken to the public hall.
Soon the village head arrived.
After Yasuo Shangyuan was woken up with water, his interrogation began immediately.
Shangyuan Yasuo didn’t dare to resist at all, and revealed his identity and the purpose of coming to the island.
Ten years ago, he was also a crew member on the Dragon God.
But Aoki…that is, Bentian who had been killed, was pushed into the sea together with the captain.
The owner of the ship is dead.
He survived by luck.
Some time ago, I saw the news that the Dragon God, which disappeared ten years ago, was found on the island.
Only then did he realize that Aoki never left the island at all.
That’s why he returned to the small island, wanting to find Aoki for revenge, and at the same time steal the gold.
“But I didn’t kill anyone!!!”
“I came to the island yesterday, but I couldn’t find Aoki. I didn’t know that he changed his name to Bentian until Aoki was killed!”
“The gold from ten years ago, I just guessed that it might be in the navy cave, but I just went there, and I haven’t found it yet, so you caught it!” Shangyuan Yasuo explained.
“Stop lying! We’ve scoured the Naval Caves and there’s no gold in them!”
“The gold must have been secretly taken away by you!!”
“If you don’t hand over the gold, you will never leave our island!!”
The surrounding villagers said angrily.
I wasn’t sure if there was gold before.
Now, two crew members who were on the Dragon God back then have appeared on this island.
It shows that the gold back then was really hidden on the island!
How can an outsider steal the gold away?
“I really didn’t find gold…”
Seeing that these villagers were angered, Conan realized that this could not go on like this.
Pick up the watch-type tranquilizer gun and shoot Mori Kogoro unconscious.
“Ahem! Mr. Shangyuan did not find the gold.”
“Mr. Maori, do you know where the gold is?” the village chief asked quickly.
“Of course. I’ve been to the cave inside the Navy Cave.”
“There is a problem with the stone steps in that cave. The bottom section of the stone steps is very clean, without any moss.”
“I think, ten years ago, Pentian should have disguised those gold nuggets as bricks, spread them on the ground, and disguised them as steps.”
“But recently, those gold nuggets disguised as bricks have been transferred.”
“But this person is not Mr. Shangyuan. If it was him, he would not be able to go to the Navy Cave again.” Conan explained in the voice of Mori Kogoro.
“What? The gold was taken away!??” The village chief was angry.
“Who took it? Mr. Maori!!”
He has already recognized the gold as his own property!
“Naturally, it was the murderer who killed Mr. Bintian. The murderer learned from Bintian where the gold was hidden, so he killed Bintian.”
“However, since noon yesterday, no ship has left the island.”
“So, the murderer who killed Bentian, as well as the gold, should still be on this island.”‘Conan’ said.
“Then Mr. Mori! Who is this person who killed Bentian and stole the gold?” the village chief asked quickly.
“Although there is no evidence to prove that the other party killed Pentian. But on this island, there is another person who is also looking for gold.”
“It’s the young man with red hair who disembarked with us yesterday.”
“Yesterday, Conan saw that man coming down from the mountain! I think he should also be looking for gold.” Conan said in Maori Kogoro’s voice.
“Yes! Yes! When I went up the mountain to look for Aoki yesterday, I met that red-haired guy on the mountain!!” Kamimoto Yasuo said hastily.
“Then what are you waiting for? Go and arrest that guy immediately!!” The village chief gave an order.
