Chapter 1723: The Incident of Catching the Sea

Tuesday, May 2, morning, Maori Detective Agency.

After laughing, except for Mori, the others take Midaiko's RV to Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, where Dr. Asa takes a group of young detectives to pick up shellfish, and the rest accompany the three Tarhan sisters on a sightseeing trip. ……

Morning, Yokohama City, Kanazawa-ku, Nojima Beach.

Motota, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko couldn't find the clams, so they built a beautiful big sand castle out of boredom.

Dr. Asa exclaimed, "What a beautiful sandcastle." ”

Ayumi smiled happily, "yes, yes, I think it's good too." ”

Yuan Tai said, "I also do it." ”

Mitsuhiko said, "Even though it's only a small effort, I did it. ”

"Really?" said Dr. Asasa, "we're all working together." ”

Conan said weakly: "Hey, you guys, have you forgotten that we are here to catch shellfish in the sea, don't go too far." ”

"But ......"

"Honestly, I don't want to dig anymore......"

"There's only sand digging around. ”

Ayumi, Motota, and Mitsuhiko said weakly.

Dr. Asa agreed, "There's no need to force them to dig up shells or anything, there are very few shells in the area. ”

"Yes? I don't think so. Conan showed off his trophies, and there were two dozen clams in his keg.

Ayumi praised: "That's a lot." ”

Yuan Tai didn't believe it, "You can't have bought it from a fish store, right?"

Mitsuhiko confirmed, "There are often people like this. ”

Conan raised his triangular eyes, "Stupid, how could I do such a thing, there's a trick to this." ”

"Look, use a rake to gently rake the sea-soaked areas of the beach, rake the sand loose, and after a while, when the sea water floods here, the clams that are lighter than the sand will float up. ”

After looking at the seawater, the clams really appeared, and Ayumi, Motota, and Mitsuhiko were very excited.

"That's amazing!"

"Oh, Conan, where did you learn it, like magic. ”

"Are there only clams in the sand that has been flooded?"

"No, no, when the clams stick their suction pipes out, they leave a small hole in the sand, and clams usually have several of them together, so just look for a place where these small holes gather

Dig down, do it gently, be careful not to damage the shell, and you'll be able to dig it out. ”

After Conan's demonstration, he found that there was no one in front of him.

"Over there. Gray Yuan said angrily.

Conan looked and saw that the three had already dug up their first loot.

Ayumi smiled excitedly: "It's great, it's a lot of dug up." ”

Yuan Tai smiled happily: "It's really a bumper harvest." ”

Mitsuhiko found another one, "Ah, I found the small hole left by the clam again." ”

Yuan Taiyou thought about it, "If the rake is a little bigger, you can dig up more clams." ”

Mitsuhiko fantasized, "Maybe we can open a seafood shop too." ”

Ayumi dreamed, "That's sure to make a lot of money." ”

"Ahem," Dr. Asa pointed right, "no, the length of the rake can only be fifteen centimeters, and each person can only take two kilograms, which is the rule of the sea." ”

Yuan Tai asked, "But does anyone follow this rule?"

"It's important for everyone to remember this rule, you know?" Dr. Asa laughed, "You don't want the number of eels to decrease due to overfishing, so you won't be able to eat eel rice again." ”

"Uh......" Yuan Tai immediately shuddered at the thought of the eel rice turning into white rice, "It's terrible, that's absolutely not good." ”

"The real pleasure of catching the sea is to look for clams on the beach, not to dig them all out and eat them, and you look around, no one is in a hurry to dig up a whole bunch of them," Dr. Asasa said. ”

Ayumi, Motota, and Mitsuhiko looked around and found a fat man in his twenties with an unhappy face, thinking that he couldn't find clams, so he sighed there, so he went up to teach.

"Do you know the holes of the clams?"

"Just dig at these little holes. ”

"You'll find a lot of clams. ”

"Thanks, but I've found a lot of clams." As he spoke, he showed up a small keg, which was half a bucket in it.

Mitsuhiko asked, "Then why are you still sighing?"

"yes. Ayumi echoed.

Yuan Tai asked, "Why, why?"

"This is because of other things. The fat man did not answer positively.

At this time, the fat man's companions came, two women and a man, both in their twenties, dressed in the same tawny clothes as the fat man, carrying lunch and snacks.

Ayumi, Motota, and Mitsuhiko asked curiously, it turned out that the four of them were fond of shellfish, the fat man was Ushigome heir, the thin man was Takashi Mise, the long-haired woman was Kutsu Koko, and the short-haired woman was Mitsue Yashima.

Ayumi didn't understand what they liked at first, but after looking at the logo on the clothes of the four, they realized that the four of them were using the homonym of the Japanese word for Bei and Hui.

Takashi Mise, Kuzu Kozuko, and Mitsue Yashima laid out a cloth and asked Ushigome to sit down and offer him food, which was considered a reward for his hard work in digging shellfish.

Motota's stomach screamed when he saw it, which made Mitsuhiko and Ayumi speechless, but they had eaten all the way in the RV before.

Dr. Asa playfully handed over his wallet, "Then let's go to the convenience store and buy some snacks and come back." ”

"I'll go, I'll go, or I'll buy it. Mitsuhiko immediately responded.

"Ah, Mitsuhiko, you're trying to sneak in to buy Kamen Superman's chocolates!" Motota asked.

"How so?" said Mitsuhiko with a dry laugh, apparently right.

Ayumi immediately raised her hand and said, "Then Ayumi is going too!"

Gray Yuan took the wallet, and then said to the three of them with triangular eyes: "Okay, then the three of you can go together, don't buy some unnecessary things and come back, you know?"

"Yes!" the three of them replied happily.

Conan smiled secretly, it was strange that he would not buy indiscriminately.

Dr. Asa advised, "By the way, remember to pay attention to the vehicles passing by, I heard that there was a hit-and-run incident in the vicinity not long ago, so you really need to be careful!"

"Got it. The three of them ran away without looking back.

And Conan and Gray Hara noticed that the four people who loved shells, Ushigome Tsugeo, Takashi Mise, Kuzu Sazuko, and Hachishima Mitsue, their faces changed in an instant, their movements were stiff, and there was no picnic atmosphere at all.

Kutsuko changed the subject, "Well, it's almost time to go back." ”

Mitsue Yashima said, "Yes, I've already dug up a lot of clams, so let's go to Ushigome's house and have a clam party." ”

Takashi Mise said, "Then Ushigome, let's clean up the things here, you take the clams to the car to remove the sand first." ”

Ushigome didn't answer, just sat blankly.

Kutsu changed the subject, "By the way, I found a delicious shellfish restaurant last time, so let's go together." ”

Mitsue Hachishima said, "Okay, then go to that store for a drink tonight, and then stay at Ushigome's house and use the clams you found today to make tomorrow's breakfast." ”

Takashi Mise asked, "What do you see, Ushigome? Okay?

The Ushigome heir was silent for a while before agreeing, then got up silently, picked up the bucket of clams, and walked away.

Dr. Asa went up to meddle, "Excuse me, what's wrong with him, he doesn't look like he's in any energy." ”

"It's fine. ”

"Nothing is a big deal. ”

"Alright, pack up, pack up. ”

Mitsue Hachishima, Koko Kuzuko, and Takashi Mirose perfunctorily treated Dr. Asasa and hurriedly packed up their things and left.

At this time, Mitsuhiko, Motota, and Ayumi came back with a dry smile, each carrying a bag of things.

"Kamen Superman Chocolate!"

"Kamen Superman Gummies!"

"And Kamen Superman Chips!"

Gray Yuan glanced at it, and immediately straightened his triangular eyes, "What's going on? You bought it for the Kamen Superman giveaway inside, right?"

Dr. Asa rounded, "Okay, okay, it's okay." ”

Mitsuhiko said with a humble heart: "It's Yuantai who must buy it." ”

Yuan Tai said angrily: "Mitsuhiko, you are so despicable. ”

"But it's really delicious. Ayumi smiled, and then changed the subject, "Speaking of which, the four people just now, have they already gone back?"

"I just left. "They clean up their garbage, which is not easy for young people these days." ”

"No, they seem to have forgotten something as important. Conan motioned for everyone to look at the beach, there was a rake.

Genta asked, "How do you know it's theirs?"

Mitsuhiko asked, "There is no name written on it." ”

Ayumi agreed: "That's right." ”

"Behold, there's a black stain on this wooden handle, isn't it?" said Conan, "and this one is probably blood. ”

"Blood?" Dr. Asasa and Ayumi were surprised.

"The man who sighed, we saw him holding his index finger in his mouth, and he must have had his finger cut by a broken shell or something while digging clams, so that the blood stains would get on the wooden handles." ”

Mrs. Yuan said angrily: "What, I thought it was something." ”

Ayumi said, "By the way, they might be looking for this, so let's send it to them." ”

Mitsuhiko agreed, "Okay, let's go together." ”

After the three children finished speaking, they ran away, and Gray Yuan glanced at Conan and motioned for Conan to follow, and he was the one who picked up the rake thing.

"Yes, yes. Conan said helplessly. ……

Parking lot.

Looking at the group of people who ran towards Hobby Bei, Conan walked casually, but suddenly heard the screams of the three Ayumi, and hurried over, only to find Ushigome lying in the car, with his eyes open and his mouth open, looking dead.

Conan stretched out his hand to test it, but was slapped away by Mitsue Hachishima.

"Don't move, we've called the police. ”

Conan's heart moved, "You don't seem to be scared at all, huh?"

Takashi Mise said: "Why don't you be afraid, my legs can't move now, but I'm already mentally prepared." ”

Conan asked, "Mental preparation?"

Kuzu Koko said, "Yes, we've been worried that Ushigome will kill himself lately, so we've been with him. ”

Conan asked, "But why would he want to kill himself?"

Mitsue Yashima, Kuzu Azuko, and Takashi Mise looked at each other and did not speak.

At this time, Dr. Asasa and Ash came to the world, and when they saw the body of Tsuio Ushigome, they were speechless. ……

Soon after, the police arrived.

Conan was very happy to see that the person leading the team was the Henggou Chongwu Police Department, and he would not be driven away.

While waiting for the police, Motota, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko sat aside and ate snacks, which made Yokozo Shigego, who got out of the car, very annoyed.

"Hey, what are you doing around the scene!

"Yes!"

"Now, you little imp with glasses is here, is that mustache here too?"

"No, Uncle Maori is at home today, and we are here to catch the sea today. ”

"Catch the sea?"

The Henggou Chongwu Police Department didn't say anything, it was not suitable to say to a child, if it was Maori, then he could be told not to run around, and spread his disaster and star fortune everywhere.

The Yokogou Shige Police Department showed the police officer ID cards to the three of Mitsue Yashima, "Ahem, I'm Yokozo from the Kanagawa headquarters, who is Miss Mitsue Yashima who called the police?"

Mitsue Hachishima and Mitsue reported their names, and then told them what had happened, and when the three of them came to the parking lot from the beach, Ushigome had already died in the van.

At that time, there was no one else nearby, and there was only Tsuio Ushigome in the car, and the doors were closed.

Henggou re-understood the police department and pondered: "Oh, so to speak, it may be suicide." ”……
