Sunday, June 1st, morning, the dark cave of the Naval Cave.

Listening to what Mr. Kinoshita said, Conan, who was holding the brick, laughed, "I'll send it over right away." As he spoke, he threw a brick and kicked it on it.

The brick hits Mr. Kinoshita's face and knocks him out.

"That's amazing, Conan," Suzu Mikami rushed up and hugged Conan, picking him up and spun him around, "I like you." ”

At this point, the ground shook and the roof of the cave began to fall rubble.

"There was an earthquake. Conan broke free from Suzu Mikami's embrace, ran over to check on Mr. Kinoshita, and found that he was unconscious, so he tried to pull him away, but he didn't.

Mikami Suzu went up to help, but the two of them could barely drag Mr. Kinoshita.

"Bastard," Conan shouted, "Yamazaki, I know you're around here, hurry up and help." ”

The sound of a motor came from outside the cave, and Yamazaki drove in in a rubber motorboat, "Sorry, I really didn't want to spoil your show." ”

"You get over there. Conan said to Suzu Mikami, "Watch the motorboat." ”

Yamazaki parked the motorboat without a motor at the entrance of the hole, went ashore and turned the bow of the boat, handed the rope to Suzu Mikami, ran to Conan to pick up Mr. Kinoshita, and ran back with Conan, and when Conan left, he took the brick that had fallen next to Mr. Kinoshita.

Yamazaki asked Suzu Mikami and Conan to get into the motorboat first, then put Mr. Kinoshita on it, pushed the motorboat into the water, got on the motorboat, and drove the motorboat away.

Soon after the motorboat came out of the cave, with a rumbling sound, the cave, no, most of the mountain collapsed and sank into the sea.

"I didn't think about it anymore. Conan laughed, "It won't cost a billion yen to dig up that gold." ”

"Down there are mountains, not the deep sea, maybe not that deep. Yamazaki said.

Conan asked Yamazaki, "Hey, how much do you hear?"

"Guess. Yamazaki laughed.

"Mr. Kinoshita must have been in the crowd of worshippers and noticed us when we wanted to enter the cave of the water army. Conan touched his chin and said, "And, uh," Conan asked with a blushing face, "are you really gone?"

"Gone. Yamazaki said, thinking to himself, but turned back again, and then found Mr. Kinoshita, and then really went back, and let him see it from afar. When you come in a motorboat, it's time for you to reason about the cause of Captain Uehara's death.

"Then how did Mr. Kinoshita know that you were gone, and he should have been watching us all the time?" asked Conan.

Yamazaki smiled, "If you are walking from the back of the cave of the water army, then you can see me returning to the village from a distance on the road." ”

"Uh," Conan paused for a moment, then asked with some excitement, "Y-Do you know the way, and do you know the dark hole?"

"Have you forgotten? Midaiko and Sonoko and I visited this island yesterday, and of course we have been to that dark cave, but we haven't been connected with Ryujin for a while, because if Ryujin was there, it should have been discovered a long time ago, so I just thought that someone was engaged in superstitious activities. Yamazaki laughed, "Also, I was going to tell you that there was another way, but I was chased away." Then he smiled and asked, "Did you pay a big price for the way you looked?"

"No, nothing. Conan Qiang laughed.

"Just kissed me. Suzu Mikami pulled Conan's arm and smiled.

"Oh, a kiss. Yamazaki laughed.

"No, it's not like that. Conan exclaimed, blushing.

At this moment, a ship appeared in the distance, Maori stood on the bow and waved at them, and there were several boats behind them, apparently the search party had returned.

Soon after, the crowd converged and returned to the port of Shikishima.

Conan said about gold and Mr. Kinoshita, and then handed over the bricks to Mori.

"What!" Muramasa Mikami was taken aback, and quickly took the brick and smashed the shell, revealing the golden metal inside.

The village chief of Mikami seemed to have lost all his strength, couldn't hold the gold nugget, let the gold nugget fall to the ground, and then fell to his knees weakly and cried, and many villagers also cried.

The village chief picked up the gold nugget and shook it, and said gloomily: "It's really gold." It turns out that gold has always been under our noses. The water army is really troubled. ”

"Ahem!" said Maori, "didn't you three keep you at home?"

"I'm here to save Conan. Yamazaki said.

"Conan. Maori shouted.

"This ......," Conan didn't think of for a moment.

"What the hell do you want to do to my Conan. Suzu Mikami kicked Mori in the calf.

"Ahh Maori screamed in pain, tears streaming out.

"Mine?" Yamazaki asked with a smile.

"Nothing like that. Conan hurriedly argued.

Village Chief Mikami gathered up and stood up, then looked at Mr. Kinoshita, who was still not awake, and said to the village chief, "Let's lock him up first." ”

"Of course. The village chief patted the village chief on the shoulder, and then called out to the two villagers to take Mr. Kinoshita away.

Chief Mikami said, "Mr. Mori, this time ......"

Mori laughs, "It's okay, seafood is very expensive in Tokyo." ”

The village chief Mikami said: "Then we will not get drunk and not return." ”

Maori smiled, "Okay. ”……

Mikami Village Chief's house.

The village chief Mikami went to the village office, and Mori, Yamazaki, Conan, and Suzu Mikami returned here. When she returned, Ran was helping with housework, and Sonoko and Mei Daiko hadn't gotten up yet.

Seeing this, Yamazaki went out again, and Conan could only honestly watch TV with Suzu Mikami at home.

Port.

Soon after, Yamazaki arrived at the plane parked here, used the satellite phone in his luggage to call home, and told his mother, Miko Miyamoto, about the incident.

"I didn't expect to end up falling into the sea. Miyamoto Miko said, then thought about it and said with a smile, "There are two questions here, and there is another interesting thing. ”

"I think one question is about the cultural center, and the other is about the trolls. An interesting thing is that there was a misunderstanding in this, so that Mr. Kinoshita did not find out where the gold was in the first place. Yamazaki smiled, "And all together, it may be the story of Mr. Kinoshita's lineage." ”

"Oh, yes, let's talk about it. Miyamoto Miko laughed.

Yamazaki said: "Since Mr. Kinoshita would pretend to be a troll, that means he doesn't believe in the trolls, but he is very concerned about the affairs of the trolls, and even built a cultural center for them. Conan once said that Miss Suzu said that the altar in the cave was built by Mr. Hamada, but Miss Suzu is only six or seven years old and can run for only a few years, so her words can only show that it is Mr. Hamada who has managed the altar in recent years, because if you think about it, you will know that the legend of the naval army has been circulating on this island for more than 400 years. ”

"According to Mr. Kinoshita's ability to manage the Naval Army Cultural Center and contact with other residents of the island that they are afraid to avoid, I think that Mr. Kinoshita is the descendants of those naval forces back then, and they came to this island to take revenge. ”

"Based on the fact that they only took revenge in the name of the naval army, I think that Mr. Kinoshita's ancestors were sent to the island by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. ”

"Just looking at Toyotomi Hideyoshi changing his surname three times, you can know that Toyotomi Hideyoshi has an unusual attachment to samurai, respect and inferiority, and class.

"Akechi Mitsuhide was killed by a group of civilians during the defeat and fleeing, and although Toyotomi Hideyoshi rewarded these civilians, these civilians and even the village disappeared into the chaos of the war. ”

"It should be the same here in Shikishima. But because it's on the island, there's no way to solve it directly, because a bad one will affect his reputation, so it's like this, find a descendant of the navy surnamed Kinoshita, or give the surname Kinoshita, send it to the island to send a bounty, and then live on the island. In fact, this person came to the island to take revenge, and this person took revenge on the villagers on the island in the name of the navy. ”

"It's inconvenient to contact the island here, and this mission should be a secret mission, so when this person completes the mission and goes to the island a few years later, he finds that Toyotomi Hideyoshi has passed away, and there is no way to report it, and the world has been wrong, so he stayed on the island. In order to worship his ancestors, he has been making a water army, so the legend of the water army has been handed down in this way. ”

"That staircase must have been built by Mr. Kinoshita's ancestor to do shady things, such as torture. Later, it was used to learn the skills of samurai in the cave and teach his children in the cave without telling the islanders. According to the height of Mr. Kinoshita and Mr. Hamada, the height at which Mr. Kinoshita pinned Mr. Hamada to the wall was about half a meter above the ground, and Mr. Kinoshita's walking posture, Mr. Kinoshita's kendo was more than five dans, and he deliberately practiced the strength of his arms. Judging from Mr. Kinoshita's ability to calm down after killing people and not leaving a murderous aura, he is either a person who does not regard killing as a mistake, or has practiced some kind of actual combat swordsmanship, so he has no psychological burden on killing. I think it's the latter, because this kind of swordsmanship was popular in the war years, and the swordsmanship of the Kinoshita family has been passed down from generation to generation on this small island, unaffected by the outside world. ”

"That misunderstanding was because of this obviously man-made staircase in the dark hole. Mr. Hamada is not from the island, so when he goes to the island, he will go to investigate the Suijun Cave, and after discovering the Ryujin parked in the dark cave and this staircase, Mr. Hamada thinks that the people from the island have taken the gold, so he lives on the island, and then he has been observing the Suijun Cave with a telescope, wondering who will go there.

"Mr. Hamada, after inquiring from the villagers that the altar in front of the dark cave was taken care of by Mr. Kinoshita, may have gone to Mr. Kinoshita and asked Mr. Kinoshita about the situation. Of course, Mr. Kinoshita would not tell Mr. Hamada the truth, and I think that Mr. Kinoshita should have inherited his family tradition and insisted on creating the legend of the water army in order to deceive the people of the island, and he may have caused the incident of the water army before Mr. Hamada came, so Mr. Kinoshita misunderstood Mr. Hamada, thinking that he was entrusted with the village chief or the village chief to investigate the affairs of the water army, so he gave Mr. Hamada the task of taking care of the altar to Mr. Hamada, and has not been there since. ”

"It's not as strange as before, and it's not strange to know one or two swordsmanship, so I think Mr. Kinoshita may not have been to the Dark Cave for a long time, so it wasn't until I asked Mr. Hamada that I knew that the Ryujin was actually stranded there. ”

"Typical dark under the lights. That's all I have to say. ”

"Well, that's a reasonable guess. Miyamoto Miko smiled, then asked, "What about gold?"

Yamazaki said, "I am afraid that after robbing the gold, the robbers wrapped lime on the gold and made it look like bricks. ”

"Later, the Ryujin encountered a storm, and there may be only one person left when it drifted into the dark hole of the naval cave, and he was afraid that this delay would be found by the police, and then he would definitely be arrested with gold, and if there was no gold, there would be a chance. So I came up with the idea of swapping fake bricks with real bricks on the ladder. And to make it easier to find later, I think the robber removed the last few steps and replaced some of the bricks. ”

However, when the robber was done, the sea water flooded into the dark hole and got higher and higher, and the robber wanted to go to the heights, and the best thing was to go up the stairs, but the bottom steps had just been dismantled by him, and if he stepped on them, he would reveal the flaws, so he chose to climb the stairs from the side, but he fell down because of the slippery relationship and was swept away by the sea. ”

"Those fake bricks were flooded by the sea and the moisture in the dark hole, and they quickly stuck to the surrounding bricks and became real bricks, so when Mr. Hamada went to investigate, he stepped on them and found no abnormalities. ”

"I guess that's probably it. ”

"Possibly. Mimiko Miyamoto said, "That's it." Then he asked, "How deep do you think the gold is?"

"There is a mountain range underneath this island, but I can't tell how deep it will fall. Yamazaki said, "I think it's better to probe." ”

Miyamoto Miko said, "It seems that I can only make a reservation with the Otomo family first." ”

"By the way," Yamazaki said with a smile, "the robber in Miss Suzu's mouth may be talking about Grandpa Miyamoto, I think Miss Kosuzu saw him collecting insurance premiums and thought he was robbing." ”

"That's how it should be. Miyamoto Miko smiled, "It seems that they have a little misunderstanding of the Pacific Maritime Group, and listening to what you say, this village chief seems to be good, so you go and explain, and then ask him if their village has ever thought of joining the ranks of being robbed." ”

"I see. Yamazaki said.

"Alright, Mei Daizi should be about to wake up, you go and prepare breakfast and lunch for her. Mimiko Miyamoto smiled, "See you in the afternoon." ”

Yamazaki smiled, "See you in the afternoon, Mom." Then I waited for Miyako Miyamoto to hang up the phone, and then hung up the phone.

Yamazaki took out a large portion of beef from the freezer compartment of the refrigerator, then thought about it and put it back again, then unplugged the refrigerator, Panasonic fixtures, and pushed the entire refrigerator out. ……
