Chapter 1701: Is There Anyone Else on the Island?

"What, you say, Miss Hirara, she was killed?"

On the beach, next to the body of Ie Hirara, Mikihiko Daito, Masao Taketomi, Yoshitsugu Kume, Nobuhiro Ikema and others who arrived later looked at Conan and the others who were examining the corpse and asked in disbelief.

The tide of the sea is surging, and the waves crash against the corpse of Irie Hirara.

Conan, Heiji Hattori, and Nanatsuki Koshisui surrounded the corpse, and then Heiji Hattori said with a solemn gaze: "We have just conducted a simple autopsy on Miss Hirara's body, and we can determine that Miss Hirara's death time should have been about two hours ago, and judging from the string-like strangulation marks on Miss Hirara's neck, she should have been strangled to death by someone with a rope-like thing......"

Hattori's voice fell, and Nanatsuki Koshisui immediately said, "...... In addition to this, we also found some very small wounds on Miss Hirara's hands and feet. These wounds are supposed to have been left by weeds or branches when Miss Hirara's neck was strangled and struggled, which means that Miss Hira must have been killed in the woods and then carried to the sea......"

Nanatsuki said, stretching out his hand and pointing to the woods next to him, and continued, "...... Besides, the murderer must have fled here not long ago!"

Listening to the words of Koshisui Nanatsuki, everyone was silent for a while, and then Daito Kanhiko suddenly asked, "But detective Koshisui, how do you know that the murderer escaped not long ago?"

As soon as Daito Kanhiko finished speaking, Conan immediately opened his mouth cutely: "This is very simple! You can see for yourself, the beach about half a meter up from the head of Miss Hirara's body is still wet, which means that it has hit that position when the sea tide is high, and the line on Miss Hirara's head is very clear, so it should have been written after the tide goes down - after all, if these words had been hit by the waves, they would have disappeared long ago......"

Conan's voice fell, and Hattori Heiji continued: "...... And if you look closely, the location here is just on the opposite side of the dock, and all of us present have been waiting for Miss Hirara on the boat for an hour ago, and after realizing that the situation is not right, I and this little ghost head went around the island from two directions to find someone, and finally found Miss Hira's body in this location, which means that there are other people on this island besides us—it is very likely that it is the murderer!"

When Hattori's words fell, Xiaolan and Ye all let out an "ah", with a look of horror: "What?

"Judging from the current situation, this is very likely!" Hattori Heiji nodded, and then glanced at Daito Mikihiko and the others, "...... Of course, this may also be an illusion created by someone who is present with an unknown method to create a suspicious array!"

Hattori's words fell, and Daito Mikihiko and the others were all expressions stiffened, and then after a few seconds of silence around, Koshisui Nanatsuki smiled and said, "Really, Hattori-san, don't be joking." Heye, I remember you brought your camera, right? It's not early, we have to take pictures of the scene as soon as possible......

"Well, that's right. If you don't take a picture of it, it won't be good if the next time the tide rises, these words will be washed away by the waves......"

Hattori Heiji nodded, then squinted, turned his head to look at Conan and said, "By the way, Conan, I remember that your watch seems to have a lighting function, right? Can you borrow it temporarily?"

Conan was stunned when he heard this, and after glancing at Nanatsuki Koshisui who was holding a camera in his hand, he took off his watch a little abruptly, handed it to Hattori Heiji and said, "...... Do you want to borrow my watch-type flashlight to fill in the light?"

"Well, sort of. ”

Hattori Heiji grinned, took a picture of the beach with his watch, and after watching Nanatsuki Koshisui take a picture, he said again: "Okay, now that the photo has been taken, Mr. Kume, Mr. Ikema, can you please move Miss Hirara's body to the boat first? Otherwise, when the tide rises later, Miss Hirara's body may be washed away......

"Hmm...... Good. ”

Kume Yoshitsugu and Noburo Ikema both nodded, and then grabbed Hira Ie's body with their hands, and while moving towards the dock, they whispered things like "Is it something unclean in the sea", "The sea here is so dangerous", "Why is Heira diving here" and so on.

Xiaolan and Ye watched Kume Hao follow them away, and then asked curiously, "What's wrong with the sea here?" I see that when Miss Pingliang dived before, it didn't seem to be dangerous......

Xiaolan's voice fell, and Nanatsuki immediately smiled and said, "Well...... Let's not be busy investigating this matter first, let's take a boat back to the opposite island first, and wait until tomorrow morning to investigate—well, Mr. Mori and Mayor Jincheng should still be waiting for us!"

After Nanatsuki finished speaking, Kazuha suddenly said "ahhhhh

"What?"

When Conan and Koshisui Nanatsuki heard this, they turned their heads to look at it together, only to see that Hattori Heiji had already plunged into the seawater, and their faces changed greatly, and they scolded in unison: "Damn! What is this guy doing in Hattori?

Listening to the words of Nanatsuki of Koshisui and Ye were slightly stunned, and hurriedly asked: "What 'don't die'? Didn't Hattori just dive into the sea?"

As soon as He Ye's voice fell, Dadong Ganyan next to him chuckled and said, "This little brother is indeed so bold that he can't die." You know, the tide in this area of the sea is very fast, and in such a dark sky, even an experienced diver can die if he is not careful......"

"Huh?what?!"

He Ye Wenyan's face changed, and without thinking about it, he was about to rush towards the sea.

Seeing this, Xiaolan and Nanatsuki Koshisui hurriedly stretched out their hands to stop her, and then opened their mouths to persuade: "Don't be impulsive, Kazuye, even if you run into the sea now, you won't be able to help Hattori's ......."

“…… That's right, we're waiting here, it's the best choice!"

“……”

Xiaolan and Koshisui Nanatsuki persuaded Kazuha, while the others shouted the name of Heiji Hattori towards the sea.

About half a minute later, with a "brush" sound, Hattori Heiji finally surfaced and moved towards the beach.

Seeing this scene, Conan and Xiaolan all breathed a sigh of relief, and then sighed and said:

"Really, Hattori...... When will he get rid of this impulsive problem......

"yes, I know that this guy wants to solve the case as soon as possible, but it's really worrying......
