Sunday, June 1st, morning, Naval Cave.

Conan and Mikami Suzu entered the cave behind the altar, and after walking for a short time, they turned a corner, and a bright light appeared in front of them, and Mikami Suzu pointed there and said with some excitement: "Conan, look ahead." As she spoke, she ran forward, but as soon as she took a step, she slipped and rolled down, and Conan, who was being pulled by her, could only roll down.

Fortunately, it was not high anymore, and Conan and Suzu Mikami just became dusty and did not get hurt.

Suzu Mikami complained: "What kind of ladder is this, I don't do it well when I do it." Then he looked at Conan's flowery face and laughed.

Conan smiled angrily: "What's so funny, you're not the same yourself." Then he noticed a metallic reflection in front of him, and immediately searched for it, and then found that it was a brick in the corner of the second staircase, and its pitted surface was somewhat reflective.

Conan reached out and clasped it, but it didn't pull it out, but some of the lime skin was snapped off, revealing the golden metal.

Mikami Suzu said, "Conan, this one needs to be kicked, I'll help you." As he spoke, he kicked on the spin and loosened the brick.

Conan weighed his weight and thought to himself, it looks like it should be gold. It seems that my reasoning is wrong, and Mr. Hamada knows the whereabouts of the gold, because this ladder is obviously not something that can be built by one person in a short period of time, but must have been built by Mr. Hamada little by little. Mr. Hamada pointed his telescope at this place to monitor the gold. But why didn't he leave the island with the gold, did he think the island was safe, and wanted to wait for the prosecution period to pass on the island?

At this time, Suzu Mikami pointed in one direction and let out a frightened scream.

Conan immediately looked over and saw a man with a bloody face sitting motionless about ten meters behind them, as if there was a pistol on the ground beside him.

"Y-Is he dead?" asked Suzu Mikami, behind Conan.

Conan put it on the brick, and as he walked over, he looked around, and found that it was a cave connected to the sea, and the sea water overflowed into the hole, thinking that this was the reason why the Ryujin floated out of the water. And then it turned out that the man was actually Captain Uehara, he was shot in the temple, how could he be here? Did he find out after looking at Mr. Hamada's telescope, or did someone who knew about this place from Mr. Hamada tell him and then came to kill him? Conan reached out and probed Captain Uehara's neck, it was already cold, and it seemed that he had been dead for a while.

"Did he commit suicide?" asked Suzu Mikami.

Conan said, "I think ......"

A voice came down the stairs, "I think he probably killed himself because he thought he couldn't escape." With that, he walked down.

Conan Mikami Suzu saw that it was Mr. Kinoshita.

Conan asked, "Why are you here?"

Mr. Kinoshita said, "I came to take a look, and I found a hole in the back of the altar and came down. Then he said, "Come on, come back with me, the village chief, they will come back soon." ”

"Okay, Uncle Kinoshita. Suzu Mikami said.

"Wait. Conan reached out and stopped Suzu Mikami.

Mr. Kinoshita asked, "Any more questions, little friend?"

Conan said: "I don't think Captain Uehara committed suicide at all, he was killed. ”

"Wouldn't it?" Mikami Suzu was taken aback.

"We don't seem to say who the dead were, did we? How did he know who the dead were?" asked Conan, "and the altar was barricaded at the entrance to the cave when we came, would a man who wanted to commit suicide do that?" and added, "The most important thing is that this pistol is in the right hand of Captain Uehara's body." And if you look closely, you can see that Captain Uehara's wound is small on the left and large on the right, which is the best evidence that the bullet entered from the left and came out from the right, that is, Captain Uehara was shot from the left, but it was too strange to shoot himself from the left temple with a pistol in his right hand. ”

Mr. Kinoshita sighed, "The sleeping Kogoro really lives up to his reputation, and even the children around him can teach him so well. ”

Conan puffed up his triangular eyes, strictly speaking, I taught him.

"Uncle Kinoshita. Suzu Mikami shouted in surprise.

"It's come to this point, there's no need for me to hide it from you anymore. Mr. Kinoshita said grimly, "Because you never have a chance to say it again." ”

"Why?" asked Conan.

Mr. Kinoshita was surprised and asked, "Oh, doesn't it seem surprising to look at you?"

Conan said, "You shot the wound on your arm." ”

"So you've even noticed this. Mr. Kinoshita said.

"Because at that time you had burnt marks on your sleeves, which means that the muzzle of the gun pressed against the sleeves when you fired the gun," Conan said. But you said that it was Captain Uehara who shot suddenly, and if it was a sudden shot, it would be difficult to shoot so coincidentally on your sleeve. ”

"You kid do have a knack, so the Maori detective should know. Mr. Kinoshita said, "It seems that he should have been disposed of sooner." ”

Conan said, "It turns out that the person who killed Mr. Hamada was really you. ”

"Really? It seems that the Maori detectives can't reason, so they didn't expose me. Mr. Kinoshita laughed.

"It's just that I didn't debunk your evidence on the spot. Conan said, "Just investigate how many people on the island still wear armor, and they will wear the armor of the navy, and you will know who the murderer is." ”

Suzu Mikami said, "It seems that no one on our island can wear armor, and except for Uncle Kinoshita, who manages the cultural center, no one will touch the armor of the navy. ”

Mr. Kinoshita said, "Little friend, do you know? Speaking of which, Hamada will die because of you. ”

"Me?" Conan asked, after a moment's thought, "because of the question I asked?"

"Yes," said Mr. Kinoshita, "I have been paying attention to Hamada for a long time, and I have been investigating the lighthouse while he was away, and I know what is going on here in the Naval Cave through the telescope, but I didn't think that he was a gold robber." After being reminded by you, I went to him in order not to be found by the Maori detectives, but I didn't expect him to say that he was just the one who answered, and so was Captain Uehara, so I had to kill him. ”

Conan said, "I think that if Mr. Hamada knew where the gold was, you would have killed him." ”

"Hamada's original surname is actually Aoki, and if I kill him, it should be regarded as eliminating harm for the people. Mr. Kinoshita said, "The professor and his students who came in the past were taken advantage of by Hamada to deliver food, and mixed medicine with the food, causing them all to sink into the sea. ”

"This kind of thing has its own laws to punish him, and it's not your turn to do it. Conan said, then asked, "Do you know how he got his face?"

"It's fake, it's glued. Mr. Kinoshita said.

Conan said, "You killed Mr. Hamada, set up the scene, and lured Uncle Mori over, trying to blame Uncle Mori and drive him off the island. ”

"That's a good point. Mr. Kinoshita said, "But it was easily solved by Mr. Mori." ”

Conan said, "You didn't ask Mr. Hamada about the location of the gold, but you did ask for the news that the Ryujin was originally here. You've been here and you haven't found gold, and you don't think the police will find it either. That's why he shot himself in the hotel in order to attract the police. Moreover, you persuaded Captain Uehara to hide here, just to kill him in this place where no one would come, so that he could disguise himself as a suicide, and then pretend to have discovered this place by chance and bring it to the police, so that the police would think that he committed suicide in fear of crime, and thus put an end to the incident of Mr. Hamada. Then he asked, "How did you convince him?"

"He pointed a gun at me when I went in," Mr. Kinoshita said, "and I told him that he couldn't escape even if he had a gun, and I believed that he was innocent, but the people on the island didn't believe him and lynched him until the police came." Then he added, "He said that it would not be good to be caught with a pistol, so he gave it to me for safekeeping." He picked up the pistol.

"Uncle Kinoshita. "Suzu Mikami was scared.

"Kid, these are your own reasoning, aren't they? It's a pity, though. Mr. Kinoshita said, "By the way, you don't look scared at all, are you waiting for the high school student who claims to be Mr. Mori's part-time assistant?" ”

Conan was relieved that the embarrassing scene hadn't been leaked, but at the same time he was a little nervous because Yamazaki hadn't come along.

Mr. Kinoshita said, "Speaking of which, I blame the village chief for being greedy......

Suzu Mikami said: "My dad is not greedy at all, he is for this island. ”

Mr. Kinoshita continued, "If he hadn't found the Maori detectives on the island, there wouldn't have been so many things, so you can blame them." Speaking of which, the legend that Detective Mori Kogoro will bring about the incident is really not fake, and this time it should be up to you. "I wanted to shoot as I spoke.

"Wait. Conan said.

Mr. Kinoshita asked, "Little friend, what else do you want to say before you die?"

As he walked towards the brick he had thrown on the ground, Conan asked, "You've worked so hard to find out where the gold is hidden?"

"What did you say?" Mr. Kinoshita was taken aback, "Did the Maori detectives already know where the gold was?"

Conan crouched down to pick up the bricks, twisted the knobs on his shoes by the way, and said, "Of course, Uncle Maori's reputation for being able to solve incidents is not fake. ”

"So, where is the gold?" Mr. Kinoshita's voice trembled a little, and then he saw the brick in Conan's hand, reacted, and asked in surprise, "Is it possible that the gold nuggets are all built into that ladder?" and then exclaimed, "Hurry up, show it to me." ”……
