Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 95: The Popular Uncle Maori

In the afternoon, when the cruise ship arrived at Shikishima, many villagers had gathered at the pier, and a welcome banner was specially pulled up. The atmosphere was very warm.

When Uncle Maori appeared, someone helped lay the pier steps for him to disembark, and many villagers immediately surrounded him, looking at him excitedly.

"It's the great detective from Tokyo!"

"The great detective is here!"

"I didn't expect me to be so popular!" Uncle Mao Li saw the welcoming formation, his old face was radiant, he coughed lightly and tried to get off the boat.

Gao Cheng followed behind with a stinky face. He had never been so popular before. Uncle Mao Li was really lucky.

"Oh, Mr. Mori, you must be tired from the journey, right?" A bald old man eagerly stepped forward to shake hands with Uncle Mori, and said with a smile, "I am the village chief Takeo Mikami, I am so grateful that you are here! "

Uncle Mao Li has always been very receptive to compliments, and he couldn't stop laughing happily: "Hello, village chief..."

"Is this bad uncle really so famous?" A little girl with two braids interjected suddenly, "When I heard that a famous detective was coming, I thought it would be a handsome uncle. "

"what?"

Uncle Mao Li was so choked that he looked at the little girl angrily: "What did you say?"

"Xiaoling," Sanshangcun said helplessly, "it's too rude of you to treat father's guests like this."

Mao Li was stunned for a moment, then quickly put on a friendly expression and changed his attitude: "Ah, Ling Qianjin is so cute."

The little girl ignored him, and instead ran to Gao Cheng's side, first looked at Gao Cheng, and then looked around Conan carefully, with an inquiring look.

"Why?" Conan looked a little uncomfortable.

"Hey, what's your name?" the little girl asked.

"Conan, Conan Edogawa," Conan replied, "his name is Shinji Kido."

"Aren't you twins?" The little girl stared at Conan and said, "Your name is so strange, is such a name popular in Tokyo now?"

Then he looked at the wooden knife on Gao Cheng's back: "Have you always carried this knife? It looks really weird..."

Gao Cheng and Conan looked away at the same time: It's none of your business.

"Whatever," the little girl said without further entanglement, with a bright smile on her face, "My name is Mikami Lingling. It seems that I am older than you, and I am your sister!"

"Sister?" Gao Cheng's mouth twitched, seeing that the little girl was only seven years old, how old is she?

Mikami Lingling suddenly hugged Conan's arm, blushing and said, "It's very popular to associate with people younger than me..."

"People are small and ghosts are big."

Gao Cheng touched his nose, why is Conan always so popular with girls?

"Get out of the way!" The man in sunglasses got off the boat last, walked past Gao Cheng in a cold voice, and stood in front of the village chief.

"I am Yasuo Uehara from Toto Travel Agency, please give me your advice."

"You are welcome," Sanshang Village enthusiastically said, "As long as we can attract tourists, we are willing to do our best to cooperate with your company."

The man in sunglasses has short hair and is wearing a light gray suit. His expression is rather cold: "Where is the ghost ship?"

Gao Cheng frowned, and inadvertently smelled a hint of danger.

Sure enough, I was right with him. This treasure hunt will not be too easy. After all, it is a treasure worth as much as one billion yen, so it is impossible to be without some danger.

That's why he brought Lake Toya out in advance.

The key now is to find the treasure before anyone else or before the gold nuggets sink into the sea...

Gao Cheng followed behind the group, and first went to see the so-called ghost ship Ryujinmaru.

The boat was parked in an open warehouse. It sounded mysterious, but it was actually a small yacht with a well-preserved hull, only the bottom of the boat was full of rust spots.

"Huh?" After looking at the yacht for a while, Gao Cheng suddenly turned his head as if feeling something.

"Just now……"

"What's wrong?" Conan asked suspiciously.

"No, nothing."

Gao Cheng frowned and looked into the distance,

Just now he felt as if someone was peeping, but when he looked over, there was no one.

After visiting the ghost ship, everyone went to the Shikishima Village Public Hall, where the upcoming Uncle Maori's speech will be held.

"Come here, please use, please use." In the public hall, Sanshang Village warmly entertained Mao Li, pouring wine for Mao Li non-stop, "Mr. Mao Li, there is still a little time before the speech begins."

"Then thank you." Uncle Mao Li was not polite at all, his face flushed from drinking.

Gao Cheng sat on the side, enjoying the rare food. Anyway, the village head entertained the uncle, and he didn't eat for nothing.

However, looking at the village head's appearance, I always feel that he is too polite...

"I'm talking about Mr. Mao Li," Sanshang Village said when seeing Mao Li drinking happily, "after your speech is over, I have something to use with your wisdom."

Although Uncle Mao Li was drinking, he knew this kind of way better than anyone else, so he was not surprised at all: "You want me to help you find the place where Longshen Pill sank, don't you?"

The village chief Mikami was stunned for a moment, patted his head with a self-deprecating smile and said, "Sure enough, you are worthy of being a detective. According to my opinion, Ryujinmaru should have sunk around this small island. As long as you know the location, those missing gold nuggets will be there." I can find it."

Maori said unmoved: "Even if those gold nuggets are found, they should not belong to you, because they must be nationalized."

"But our small island still has the right to get 10% of the benefits, right?" The village chief clasped his hands and begged the uncle, "I'll leave this to you, Mr. Maori."

"No, I refuse, how can a famous detective like me do this kind of treasure hunting..."

"What if your reward was a tenth of our island's?"

"I am glad to!"

"..."

Gao Cheng raised his ears silently, one tenth of the treasure, that is ten million, Uncle Mao Li would never refuse.

But do you have to hand over the treasure to the country if you find the treasure?

"About Ryujinmaru," the old Kinoshita explained, "it was a typhoon night seven years ago. On the sea one kilometer away from the island, Ryujinmaru kept sending out distress signals because of a problem with the hull, but Just as we were going out to sea for rescue, the distress signal was suddenly interrupted.

"By the next morning, we only found the body of the ship's owner on the coast. Let alone gold nuggets, we didn't even find a single drift."

"Who are the owners of those gold nuggets?"

"It belonged to the dead ship owner. He was about to be arrested for tax evasion, so he exchanged all his property for gold nuggets. He was planning to flee abroad on the night of the typhoon."

Gao Cheng listened silently beside him.

The gold nugget must be on the small island. It didn't sink in the sea in my impression, but I don't know where it is on the small island. It's best to collect some more clues.
