Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 1176 Murder on Secret Treasure Island 4

"Bang!" The male doctor with glasses turned pale and pressed down on the table, looking at everyone in horror.

"Who is it? Who is the murderer?!"

"Mr. Huomura, calm down," the housekeeper advised, "It's just a guess now, after all, everyone has an alibi..."

"Damn it," the man in glasses cried, covering his face, "I really shouldn't be participating in this treasure hunt!"

The doctor seemed to be starting to collapse due to too much pressure. Everyone felt that he was the murderer. In the end, he hurried back to his wooden house before finishing his meal, saying that he didn't want to stay with the murderer.

Gao Cheng looked at the people who fell into silence and was thoughtful.

He had noticed the situation of the Japanese doll from the very beginning. It was still the same problem. It was really unclear why the murderer did this.

It makes sense to create panic so that people don't trust each other, but it just doesn't feel right if it's just that.

"Mr. Iwata," Gao Cheng suddenly looked at the red monster statue on the table, "What the hell is this? Is it also a relic on this island?"

"This one was made by the master with stones that came from the island before, and it is the mountain boy mentioned in the Waka." Butler Iwata replied.

"The rocks on the island?"

"I heard that it is a special ore that contains a lot of copper, so it is red."

Iwata looked at the somewhat horrifying statue of Yamado with a worried look on his face.

"Perhaps the treasure on this island is a curse. It is said that anyone who approaches the treasure will be torn to pieces by Yamado. Mr. Saeki died here 10 years ago, and now even the master..."

"What curse?" the curly-haired man pulled out a dagger and said fiercely, "I don't believe in curses! No one can stop me from getting the treasure. If the murderer wants to kill me, then come! I won't be caught without a fight!"

...

At night, the sound of waves mixed with the sound of insects spread on the island, and everyone returned to their wooden houses.

"Boom!"

Gao Cheng knocked on the door of the curly-haired man next door.

"Is Yahagi-san there?"

"What's the matter, brat?" The curly-haired man opened the door impatiently, still holding the dagger in his hand.

Even a detective couldn't be absolutely sure.

"I have some questions to ask you," Gao Cheng said with a straight look. "If I'm not mistaken, you and Mr. Yashishima and the murdered Mr. Kakimoto should have been here before, right? Just 10 years ago !"

"What? I don't know what you're talking about..." The curly-haired man made a gesture to close the door.

"It's useless if you don't admit it, the murderer will find you sooner or later," Gao Cheng said calmly, "Don't you want to know who the murderer is?"

The curly-haired man paused, and looked at Gao Cheng with a serious expression.

"Come in……"

The ashtray on the table in the wooden house was full of cigarette butts, and it could be seen that the curly-haired man was uneasy, not as fearless as before.

"The story started more than 10 years ago," the curly-haired man said, lighting a cigarette, "with Professor Saeki Kyousuke as the center, we formed a team called the 'Saeki Ancient Society', which specializes in investigating treasure legends from all over Japan ..."

According to the curly-haired man, 10 years ago when he was investigating on Sad News Island, Saeki Kyousuke accidentally fell off the cliff and died on the spot. After that, several others gave up looking for treasure. People stay here.

"Actually, I didn't take the exam this time," the curly-haired man explained, "I received the invitation for the art because of my past friendship, and Yashishima and Kakimoto are probably the same as me."

"Is there no test?"

Gao Cheng's eyes flickered slightly.

In other words, there are actually only 4 people who passed the exam, which is a little abnormal.

If the real motive of this case is revenge, it is very likely that the murderer was not the owner of the island who sent the invitation.

The real cause of Saeki Kyousuke's death is probably not an accident...

"As for the murderer, I actually suspect someone," the curly-haired man suddenly added,

"It's the iq180 prodigy Chris, that guy is quite famous in the United States, but for some reason, he suddenly went to study in a Japanese university a few months ago,

The strangest thing is his birth background, it's all a mystery, you can investigate him first. "

"I will."

Gao Cheng didn't continue to ask, it was obviously impossible for the curly-haired man to tell him more.

It was past 11 o'clock in the evening when he left the curly-haired man's cabin, and Conan was waiting outside.

"It seems that he still refuses to tell the truth," Conan said, "Professor Saeki's death 10 years ago is obviously related to them...

I heard from Ms. Xiaobi that Professor Saeki also has a son who is called a genius boy, Koichiro Saeki. If he is still alive, he will be almost the same as Chris. He must have doubted this. "

"Chris is white, right?" Gao Cheng asked unexpectedly.

"It is said that my mother is American," Conan explained, "It's just that the pupil color of the American-Japanese hybrid should be black. I'm going to find a chance to try it. He may have worn contact lenses to change the pupil color..."

"You really think he's Koichiro Saeki?"

Gao Cheng shook his head.

"There are too many doubtful candidates for the treasure hunt this time. The biggest doubt is why I, the famous detective, was invited... Logically speaking, it is enough to invite Kakimoto and the others."

"Could it be that the island owner sent out the invitation letter before he was killed?" Conan thought.

"The murderer chose to commit the crime a week ago. It must have been designed. There will be no such troubles. In this case, the invitation of candidates is definitely the key link."

Gao Cheng returned to the wooden house and looked at his notes repeatedly.

"There is still a key clue, the key clue that connects all the clues..."

...

The next day, the third day of the treasure hunt, everyone gathered outside the burnt ruins of Yashishima’s wooden house. Under the clear sunlight, a scorched arm could be seen in the ruins.

The fire started in the early morning, and even the Kakimoto wooden house next to it was affected and burned to the ground.

"It was dismembered again..."

"The burnt fragments of dolls were found in the fireplace over there in the villa, which is a repeat of this place."

"That guy is imitating the mountain boy again!" The curly-haired man gritted his teeth looking at the fragments of the corpse in the ruins, "It is said that after the mountain boy attacks treasure hunters, he will also burn their resting place to the ground!"

"Miss Xiaobi," Yuanzi asked, "did you hear anything yesterday?"

"No," Mei Zuobi shook her head, "Maybe I slept too soundly, sorry..."

"Crack!"

Gao Cheng walked among the ruins and found a burnt tape recorder, which had not been completely destroyed because it was buried under the body.

"I know... the location... and, and the song... Vermilion bird... pacha!"

The sound is intermittent and only one fragment can be released.

In addition to the tape recorder, there is also a watch in the shirt pocket of the dead body. It escaped the fire because it was pressed to the ground, but the cover of the watch was broken. It was 11:15.

"The undigested dinner from last night was still in the stomach of the corpse," said the male doctor with glasses who was still doing the autopsy. "The time of death should be between 10:00 and 11:00 last night..."

Gao Cheng squinted his eyes and scanned the ruins, as well as the Kakimoto wooden house that was also burned next to him.

He seemed to understand the murderer's purpose.

Regardless of the number of people invited or the number of people invited, there is a corresponding meaning, because this time the criminal method must fill all the wooden houses, and there must also be a detective role.

The meaning of the existence of foreign ghosts is to serve as scapegoats, and the reason for the existence of doctors is to determine the time of death by autopsy, so as to provide the murderer with an alibi.

Probably only Conan came to make up for it...

If there were no accidents, the murderer should be that person.

But why?
