Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter Ninety-Six: A Small Island of Murder

It happened to be the time of the speech after eating, and the public hall was crowded with waiting crowds, talking a lot, looking quite looking forward to it.

But now the main master, Uncle Maori, looks drunk...

"Uncle is really beautiful."

Gao Cheng was not interested in the speech, so he took this opportunity to look around.

There is a small house next to the public hall with the sign of "Navy Army Museum". He quietly opened the door and entered, and found that there are many things in the house, most of which are related to ships, and there is also a model of "Navy Army Ship". There are also some picture scrolls hanging on the surrounding walls, with pictures of naval battles on them, which looks like a small museum.

Walking to the innermost part, a pair of armor of an ancient Japanese general appeared in front of his eyes. Sitting there as a whole, it looked as if the ancient general was still alive, and the ferocious mask was somewhat terrifying.

It should only be used to attract tourists, and has nothing to do with treasures...

Gao Cheng looked left and right for a while, and when he saw someone noticed this side, he hurriedly left the room.

"Shinji?" Conan came over in surprise, "What are you doing?"

"Ah? No, I just looked around," Gao Cheng was startled, and laughed out of guilt, "What about you? Why aren't you with Sister Xiaolan and the others."

"Uncle Maori is still drinking," Conan said gloomily, "I really convinced him, he is going to give a speech soon, maybe it will embarrass us in the end."

"Conan! You are here!" The little girl Mikami Lingling ran over, hugged Conan's arm and said, "There is nothing to see here, let's go, I will take you to a fun place!"

"Where to?"

"Behind the stage, it's more interesting than this side."

The little girl pulled Conan lively and ran to the back of the community building. Gao Cheng pouted on the spot. He had no interest in playing with the children, but he thought that the little girl was the daughter of the village chief, so he followed to have a look.

"Um?"

At the back door of the public hall, Gao Cheng suddenly noticed two figures in the woods on the other side.

One is a thin man with loose long hair, and the other is Yasuo Uehara, an employee of the previous travel agency.

"Long time no see, Aoki," Uehara Yasuo stopped in front of the man, took off his sunglasses and looked fiercely at the man whose hair covered half of his face, "I will never forget your face!"

"I don't know what you're talking about," the man was startled when he saw Yasuo Uehara, "I'm just a lighthouse guard, and my name is Hamada..."

"What are you kidding?!" Uehara lifted the man's collar and lifted his hair, only to find that half of his face was burnt.

"you……"

The man broke away from Uehara and walked away: "Didn't I say you misidentified the person? Let me go!"

"Even if you turn into ashes, I will know you, Aoki!"

Gao Cheng hid aside, silently watching the two leave one after another.

Not only Yasuo Uehara, but the lighthouse guards are also weird. There seems to be some secret in the middle. I don’t know if it has something to do with the treasure this time.

...

The auditorium of the public hall is used as the place where the village usually holds activities. The large venue is crowded with villagers. On the stage directly in front of it, a banner of "Mr. Detective Mori Kogoro Lecture" is drawn, and there is also a large banner with a ribbon hanging down. colored balls.

"Then now we welcome the world-famous famous detective Mori Kogoro to appear!"

"Thank you everyone." Amid continuous applause, Mori Kogoro staggered out of the stage, but fell to the ground before reaching the rostrum.

"What a disgrace," Xiaolan blushed, "is he really able to give a speech when he's so drunk?"

"Probably." Conan looked at the giggling uncle who couldn't even stand still, and felt that he was hanging.

"It seems that this famous detective will also feel stage fright, haha," the old man Kinoshita in charge of hosting said with a smile, wiping off cold sweat, "to commemorate Mr. Mori's visit to the island, we specially prepared a big colored ball, please Mr. Mori to pull it... ..."

Gao Cheng was still thinking about what he saw in the forest, so he walked to the side of the stage, found Lingling Mikami and asked, "Do you know that lighthouse guard named Hamada?"

"Lighthouse guard?" Mikami Lingling shook her head and said,

"I only know that he is a strange person. He doesn't usually interact with people on the island, and he often goes to that cave that everyone doesn't get close to. I don't know what to do in it..."

"cave?"

"It's the cave cursed by the navy..."

"Bang!" There was a sudden commotion from the direction of the stage, and Uncle Mao Li screamed miserably.

"What's the matter?" Gao Cheng hurried forward, and found that the big colored ball fell down for some reason and almost hit the uncle. At this moment, a raging flame was burning in the middle of the stage, and even the uncle's butt was ignited.

"Oh! I'm burnt to death!" The uncle pouted his burning buttocks, completely awakened from the drunkenness.

"dad!"

In the confusion, Xiaolan hurriedly took the fire extinguisher next to her and rushed over to extinguish the flame on the uncle's buttocks. Soon the fire on the stage was also extinguished by others, but the villagers at the scene were still quite frightened.

"It's the ghost of the navy that's started to haunt again!"

"Run!"

"Calm down! Don't panic!"

Gao Cheng silently followed Conan to the middle of the stage. There was a strong smell of gasoline from the wreckage of the colored ball, and there was a device that would ignite the gasoline as long as the ribbon was pulled.

This is someone who wants to kill Uncle Maori...

Gao Cheng's eyes tightened, and he looked solemnly at everyone present.

Uncle shouldn't have offended anyone. The only conflict is the ghost ship and those gold nuggets. It seems that some people feel that Uncle is in the way.

At night, the bright moon like a jade plate hangs in the clear night sky, and the sound of waves and wind surrounds the island.

Shanzhuangyuan, in the hotel where Mao Li and his party stayed, the injured uncle pouted his buttocks in the cold compress room, and looked angrily at the village chief Mikami: "Village chief, what's going on? If this happens, I will almost die today!"

The village head, Dogeza, apologized, "I'm really sorry that this happened. I never thought Mr. Mori would be involved in such an accident... Please forgive me!"

"Accident? This was clearly arranged deliberately!"

"No, it was just that we accidentally put the colored balls in the gasoline tank when we placed them, and the electric leakage caused this accident."

"But……"

"I've already explained it to you!" The village said with a stern look, "It's definitely not wrong!"

"Hmph, is there any reason why you don't want the police to take over this matter?" Uncle Maori laughed and said, "You don't plan to hand over the gold nuggets to the government even if you find them, don't you? If the police come here , your plan is going to be ruined."

The village chief Sanshang was silent for a while, sweating coldly, and suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Mao Li, you just need to find the location of those gold nuggets quietly!"

"What did you say?!"

"Hmph, if you go against my will, I can't guarantee that you guys can leave here safely," Mikami snorted and stood up and walked out of the room, "It is impossible for the contact ship to depart without my permission. You should think about it carefully."

"Damn it!" Uncle Mao Li was so angry that he didn't even care about the pain in his buttocks, "You actually threatened me!"

"It seems that we have reached an unreasonable place..."

Gao Cheng and Conan sat on the side, silently watching Village Chief Mikami leave.

Because of the appearance of the ghost ship, this small island seemed to be involved in a whirlpool. Uncle Maori didn't know whether it was good luck or bad luck.

"I'm really sorry," the old man Kinoshita walked into the room, "The reason why our village chief did this is because of this small island, please rest assured, I will arrange a boat to send a few back tomorrow, to be honest, small I can still call the shots on fishing boats.”

"No, I'm not leaving now!" The uncle said angrily, "If I just leave like this, where will my name, the famous detective Mori Kogoro, be placed?!"

Gao Cheng raised his eyebrows and secretly gave the uncle a thumbs up.

Although it was dangerous to stay, he didn't want to be sent back tomorrow, at least until those gold nuggets were found.

As for the uncle's safety, he will keep an eye on it secretly, and after what happened at the speech meeting, the murderer should also restrain himself.
