Chapter 19: It Takes No Effort
Embarrassment and the like, it's only temporary, no matter what, life has to go on. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The four seasons don't have much time to think about men and women, and when they enter this industry, they always have to give up a lot of things.
These days, we are collecting information about related companies, mainly those that have the technology that is useful for the organization, and ordinary companies are not very useful.
However, the favored enterprises cannot be moved casually, after all, it is related to the core technology, and these people still look at it very strictly.
Another is the issue of funding, the four seasons don't have much money now, so everything depends on the organization.
However, the organization seems to be a little short of funds recently, and it hasn't been able to provide much for the four seasons for a while.
But on this very day, the four seasons received a message from Calvados.
"It is reported that on a stormy night two days ago, a ship Ryujin, which disappeared seven years ago and was carrying the equivalent of one billion yen in gold, appeared on a small island called Shikishima, and we have reason to suspect that the gold is also somewhere on the island, so please go and investigate and look for it, and if you find it, it will be used as your activity fund, and above, good luck. - Calvados, sincerely. ”
"Gold, it seems familiar......"
Shiki touched his chin, since it feels familiar, then it should be in the plot.
"So, uncle, they'll go over too?"
If Mori Kogoro and the others had gone, things might have become a little more complicated.
But lately, that Conan guy seems to have gotten involved with Hattori Heiji.
Speaking of which, Hattori Heiji seems to be a master.,It seems to be practicing Japanese kendo.。
If you have time, you might be able to go over and have a chat with him to see how it differs from the few Japanese kendo masters I've met before.
Speaking of which, there are really a lot of enemies in the organization.
"But none of that matters, the important thing is to find gold!"
If you think about the equivalent of one billion yen of gold, it must be at least 100 kilograms, which is a lot.
"Let's get ready."
……
It is said that it is a preparation, but in fact, it does not need to be much trouble, and it can be done all at once.
In the afternoon, when Yamada and Yamada came back from class tomorrow, Shiki directly told them that they were going to go out, which would be about two days.
The two sisters didn't say much, and the four seasons didn't say much.
In the evening, the four seasons left directly.
In the middle of the night, I sneaked into the dock, got a speedboat, first rowed far enough away, and drove directly towards Shikishima, without attracting anyone's attention.
After sailing on the sea for several hours, I was able to follow the signs on the map and the latitude and longitude locator prepared in advance, and confirmed that Shikishima was not far ahead.
Then he drove the boat around Shikishima and observed the terrain.
The island is not very large, most of the place is relatively high, and the inhabitants of the island live in low-lying places and have a pier.
In addition, there are some places near the sea that are quite treacherous.
Shiki also found a cave, and looked at it with a little curiosity, but he didn't know if there was an exit from the cave to the island, so he didn't go in.
Instead, he found a hidden place, parked the speedboat there, and dived on the island.
At this time, it was only four or five o'clock in the morning, and the residents of the island were basically still sleeping.
But it seems that there are still many people who have not been able to rest, but are looking for something in the forest behind the mountain, and some people are even on guard on the road.
Shiki didn't suspect that he was exposed, probably just something happened on the island.
He ignored the facts, and quickly searched around the docks.
"Since the ship of the Ryujin was blown here by the wind, it should be pulled back by the inhabitants of this island, if it is a large ship, it may be parked near the dock, if it is a small one, it may be pulled ashore......"
Shiki pondered as he searched near the docks with a miniature flashlight.
But I didn't find any big dilapidated ships, well, whether they were floating at sea for six or seven years or whatever, the ships would definitely become dilapidated.
In this way, the ship should have been pulled ashore by the island's residents, and maybe it would dock somewhere to protect it.
So Shiki began to look for a nearby house.
Inhabited places and spaces that are not large enough are naturally excluded.
Looking at it this way, there are not many places to look.
When the sky was slightly bright, the four seasons successfully found their goal.
In a warehouse-like place, there is another person guarding here, but the other party also sits there lazily and falls asleep.
Shiki quietly walked over, took out a small bottle on his body, opened the lid and put it under the guard's nose, and then took it back after a while.
There is a volatile hypnosis potion with a strong effect, and no matter what the seasons do, this guard will not wake up.
Of course, the four seasons didn't do anything to the guard, but to inspect the ship.
"This is the Ryujin, and it's really shabby enough...... I'll go! ”
Suddenly seeing something, Shiki couldn't help but curse secretly.
"Bodies can be seen here...... It can't be uncle, they're here too, right? ”
Shiki was a little skeptical.
looked at the corpse that was nailed to the wall by the knife, and pouted directly, not bothering to pay attention to this, but went to the boat to check it.
This ship has a direct connection to gold, and if you want to find gold, you can't help but check this ship.
Of course, the gold is not on the ship, and if it is, there is no need to wait for the four seasons to look for it, it has already been taken.
The sky was getting brighter and the light was more abundant.
There was also a pool of blood in the cabin, which looked relatively fresh, presumably from someone who had been killed outside.
The four seasons didn't take care of it either, but checked some corners and so on.
Finally got to the top of the hull and looked around......
"Huh?"
Suddenly, seeing something, Shiki walked over to the guardrail in front of him and touched something on it with his hand.
"This is...... Moss, right? There were no signs of immersion in the cabin...... It seems that the ship did not sink, could it be that it was floating at sea for six or seven years? No, no, no, it can't be! ”
If you have been floating for six or seven years, you will not know where you have drifted away, either to the farther sea, or to some uninhabited island, or you have long been discovered.
"And ......"
Shiki looked at the guardrails around him.
"It's clearly a scratch mark, and it's a new ......"
Thinking so, he touched the rubbed places again, for a long time, and then withdrew his hand, rubbing his fingers against each other.
"It's very little, but it's still a remnant of some gravel, and the ...... that can grind against it"
After thinking about it carefully, I thought about the cave I saw when I circled the island before.
It seems that there are traces of a new collapse in that cave.
"It looks like it's probably there, but there's a lot of evidence missing......"
Thinking so, Shiki checked again and found nothing more, so he left directly.
"If the ship really stayed in that cave for seven years, then maybe there will be people related to it on this small island......
Shiki pondered while wandering around.
If he is the one who knows that the Ryujin is in the cave, and also knows that the Ryujin is related to gold, then ......
"Then they will constantly monitor the place where the ship is located to avoid being discovered by others, and then slowly look for gold."
The empathetic Four Seasons came to such a conclusion.
But the way to be able to monitor frequently without arousing the suspicion of others......
Shiki stopped and looked up at the tall lighthouse.
The four seasons with excellent eyesight, saw that there was a telescope on it.
Of course, this is nothing, but the lens of the telescope does not seem to be pointing in the direction of the sea, but on the other side of the island.
"If you go in that direction......
Shiki turned his head to look over there.
It seems that it is the general direction of the cave that I saw before.
"Looks like it's there!"
Shiki thinks there is at least an 80 percent chance that this possibility is right.
So he didn't think much about it, and the eighty percent chance was enough to gamble.
So he quickly ran back to the place where the speedboat had been parked, started the speedboat, and drove towards the other side of the island.
There's nothing faster than going straight through the cave.
Unbeknownst to Shiki, however, Conan also tries to enter the cave from the island, and he discovers a lot of things.
Because of the previous storm, there are some cave-ins in the cave.
Perhaps it is precisely because of these landslides that the Ryujin will float outside with the current.
The Four Seasons speedboat is smaller than the Ryujin, so it is natural to easily enter the cave.
Holding a miniature flashlight to shine it, Shiki couldn't help but be a little speechless.
"You can see dead people everywhere!"
On one side of the wall, a man died there with his mouth wide open and his face full of disbelief.
Fortunately, there are too many dead people, and the four seasons don't feel anything, but start looking for it.
Although it is not clear who knows who is here on the Dragon God, but the other party has not found gold for so long, so the place where the gold is hidden cannot be thought of with common sense.
"This cave is so big, if you want to hide gold, but you won't be easily discovered......"
The four seasons walked slowly in the cave and stretched it out with his hand. The sword is drawn into the form of a longsword, either stabbed into the ground or into a wall.
But nothing special was found.
"Maybe it's up there."
Shiki looked at the staircase passage, which could still lead to it.
So the four seasons were ready to go up.
But as soon as I walked a few steps, I immediately stopped.
"Shhhh I was almost misled! ”
Thinking so, Shiki raised his hand, took the long sword and stabbed it directly.
Rock is very hard, but gold, a metal, is relatively soft, and when you pierce it, the feel is obviously different.
The Four Seasons naturally easily recognized this, bent down and picked up something like a brick, and looked at the place where it had been pierced.
"Sure enough!"
The four seasons squinted, and the golden color might make many people crazy.
"Whatever, it's really effortless!"
Thinking so, he put away the telescopic sword again, and then began to work as a porter.
Stacked piece by piece, with the strength of the four seasons, it is natural to be able to move a lot at once.
