Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 64: The Isolated Island Hit by Torrential Rain

Villa restaurant, everyone returned to the restaurant again.

"Your friend died on the spot," Dr. Yuki explained with a smile. "The body was crushed from the right shoulder to the waist, and the broken rib pierced the internal organs..."

The faces of the people in the drama department were extremely ugly, and some even glared at Eisaku Yuuki. This perverted doctor described Hidaka's tragic death with a relaxed and excited expression.

"The storm outside is too strong, and we can't contact the police at all," said the uncle who brought everyone to the island into the restaurant, "and the yacht at the pier is gone... I don't know who cut the cable."

"how so?"

"Aren't you trapped here? What is that murderer going to do?"

Everyone was sweating coldly, and anxiously asked Boss Kurosawa: "Is there no other way to leave?"

Kurosawa shook his head regretfully: "There is only that yacht on the island, and no matter how many boats there are, I can't leave in this weather, so I can only wait and see tomorrow."

"It seems that the murderer may continue to commit crimes." High school student detective Xiaoqiao Xianjian glanced at everyone, took out a small notebook and said, "Can you tell me your names and identities first?"

"Are you kidding? Do you suspect that the murderer is among us? When Hidaka screamed, everyone was in the restaurant!"

"That's true, but the necessary interrogation is still necessary."

Xiaoqiao Xianjian looked at Gao Cheng and Nanase and said, "You all belong to the same drama department, right? Maybe there is something hidden in this case, it's for your benefit to ask."

Teacher Ogata did not have any objections, and looked at Kenjian Xiaoqiao with interest: "I am the music teacher of Teitan University, Natsuyo Ogata, and I am the consultant of the drama department responsible for taking care of these children, Mr. Detective."

Seeing that the teacher had spoken, the others also introduced themselves one after another. With a dissatisfied tone, Busch Guangyan said, "Bushi Guangyan, a third-year student at Didan University, director of the drama department..."

"Sorry," Xiaoqiao Xianjian interrupted, "Did you participate in the performance?"

"I'm playing the weirdo in the opera house." Busch Guangyan turned his head away, feeling that it was embarrassing to be interrogated by a high school student like this.

"Tomoyo Takashima, third grade, playing the heroine Christina..."

"Kiryu Harumi, second grade, plays an opera actress..."

"Xian Daofeng, second grade, playing a supporting role and in charge of big props..."

"Kamari Shuichiro, second grade, supporting role and lighting..."

"Yuji Yumori, a second grader, plays the heroine's lover and is in charge of small props..."

Xiaoqiao Kenjian carefully recorded in the notebook, then turned to Gao Cheng and Nanase, narrowed his eyes slightly: "What about you? I seem to have seen you somewhere..."

Nanase hurriedly said: "I'm Jiro Nanase in the first grade. I'm in charge of assistant work, and I also play a supporting role. As for him..."

"I'm Jintian Yiyi," Gao Cheng said proactively, "I'm not from the drama department, I just came to help, and I'm in charge of the sound system."

"Oh?" Xiaoqiao Xianjian wrote a few words in the notebook and continued to ask, "Where is the girl who was killed this time?"

"She is Orie Hidaka in the second grade, and plays an opera actress like me," Harumi Kiryu said solemnly, "None of us had any motive to kill her, but Tomoyo had quarreled with her."

"What did you say?" Tomoyo Takashima said angrily, "I just think she's holding back. Is it because of this that I'm going to kill her?"

"Let's talk about this later." Xiaoqiao Xianjian stopped the two from arguing, and glanced at Dr. Yuki and landed on Boss Kurosawa and the others.

"The only people left are Boss Kurosawa, the head chef, the maid, and the uncle who drives the yacht..."

"I'm Tianshu Seimaru, and I live here too," the uncle explained, "My boss and I are all resident on the island, and we have no motive to kill that girl... Ah, I remembered,

There was also a strange guest who visited the island yesterday! "

"Really?!"

"There is a strange guest," the maid explained, "with a bandage on his face, and he said that he has accumulated a lot of work to deal with. I hope no one will come near his room. He seems to be able to solve the meal by himself..."

"A bandage on your face?"

Nanase breathed heavily and said, "It's the same as Ms. Rika-senpai, could it be..."

"Don't talk nonsense," Yuji Arimori scolded, "That guy might be the prisoner, let's go and see!"

...

Outside the room of Geyue, the weirdo with bandages on the first floor, when the maid found the key to open the door, everyone rushed into the room, but there was no one inside.

The room was in a mess, with signs of destruction everywhere. Next to the open window, the words "burned by the flames of hell" were written in red paint on the wall.

"No one... did they escape?" Xiaoqiao Xianjian glanced around the room, looking at the bloody wall and asked, "What do these words mean?"

"Riga said it before she died... the lines of the weirdo at the opera house..."

Not only Nanase, but everyone in the drama department became short of breath, as if they saw something terrible.

"Is that the girl who committed suicide because she was disfigured by sulfuric acid?" Xiaoqiao Xianjian was thoughtful, "This incident is really not simple. It seems that the girl's suicide has other hidden reasons."

"Hey, wait a minute, how do you know about Lijia?"

"I heard what they said."

Kenjian Xiaoqiao pointed to Gao Cheng and Nanase, then knelt down and walked to the suitcase in the corner: "There is nothing in that suitcase of Utazuki, only bandages..."

"Sure enough," Xian Daofeng laughed tremblingly, "it must be Li Jia's undead who came to take revenge!"

"Undead can't kill people," Xiaoqiao Xianjian affirmed, "The bandages are not because of injuries, but to hide faces. This is a premeditated planned murder... Does anyone else know your itinerary? ?”

"Many people in the school know..."

Nanase looked at Kenjian Kohashi who was thinking.

Unknowingly convincing strong aura, unique charisma is the same as the temperament of the famous detective on TV, compared with Gao Zhizhi, he just glanced at the room in a very ordinary way.

"Hey, Kido," Nanase whispered, "This high school detective looks really good, is what he said true?"

"more or less."

High cost itself is not good at reasoning or complex thinking ability, but he can still do basic on-site analysis, and his observation ability at the level of a famous detective is enough to make up for his weakness in reasoning.

The incident that happened on the isolated island now, just like what the high school detective said, was a premeditated murder, and the motive was probably related to Li Jia's suicide.

...

"Typhoon No. 9, which brought fierce storms, is still strong... Gradually heading north..."

The typhoon warning could be heard amidst the noise of the radio. Gao Cheng stood alone by the window of his room, watched the storm outside silently, closed the window and went back to bed.

The island still couldn't contact the police, and the storm was so strong that it was impossible for a boat to come. Under the suggestion of the high school student detective, everyone went back to their rooms and locked the doors and windows to prevent accidents.

Gao Cheng lay on the bed and covered himself with the quilt, the image of Hidaka Orie still kept appearing in his mind, and the miserable wailing sound seemed to be still echoing in his ears.

Few people probably like murders happening around them. Seeing people they know die tragically makes them feel uncomfortable, but this is how this world is. This is the world of detectives, and they may be involved in cases at any time.

All he can do is to find out the truth of the case and try to avoid tragedies. Unfortunately, the people in the drama department are not very willing to talk about Rika's affairs, and Nanase's understanding is limited. Killed, it stands to reason that if the motive is to avenge Rika, then Takashima Yuyo, who replaced Rika as the heroine, is more likely to be killed.
