Chapter 476: To the island
"What about the deceivers?" Hattori teased, "Not interested in you guys who can't swim coming here?" Pick any one, just the girl who dyed her short hair brown...... You see, the complexion is healthy and the muscles are strong, so you must wear a black bikini. ”
"Really?" Conan looked at the girls playing in the sea, "Her hair has faded a little, she doesn't look feminine, and she should be wearing a very simple one-piece swimsuit......
Hattori turned to the leisurely-looking Gao Cheng: "How is it?" Joto, it's your turn......"
"How's that?" Gao Cheng's gaze fell on Kazuha, who was a little frightened behind Hattori with his waist crossed, "You better take care of yourself first." ”
"Huh?" Hattori turned his head in a daze, "Wa, Waha......"
"You're really good, Pingji," He Ye lowered his eyelids and stared at Hattori quietly, and suddenly showed a dangerous smile, "You actually guessed a girl's swimsuit here with a primary school student, if your parents knew, I'm afraid they would cry with joy, right?" ”
"You've misunderstood," Hattori explained with a sweaty smile as he pulled Conan over him, "because this little ghost has been clamoring for me to guess with him, and I'm so annoyed that I can't ......help it."
Conan glared in annoyance, and exclaimed in amazement: "Brother Heiji is too powerful, he said that this aspect of reasoning is the most powerful, and he also said ......"
"Huh?!" Hattori hurriedly stopped Conan, "This kid is kidding...... Kazuha, listen to me explain......"
Gao Cheng leaned on an inflatable dolphin, looked at the few Hattori who walked away, and continued to return to the girls playing in the sea, just in time to see the brown short-haired girl standing up from the water, the water droplets brought up by the black bikini were folded and shining in the sun.
"Huh?" Gao Cheng took off his sunglasses and stared wide as the black bikini girl walked ashore and left.
Hell, it's real......
"Is it Detective Joto?" A man about 40 years old who looked like a catfish blocked Gao Cheng's sight, "I am the TV director of this show, Taketomi Masao, Mayor Jincheng called and said that you are looking for us." ”
Gao Cheng raised his head and looked at the man in front of him who seemed to have begun to lose his hair: "I am, the mayor said that you will step on some ...... today"
Zhufu said embarrassedly: "Actually, I was originally scheduled to go to Chuanpu Island yesterday to do some preparations, but the matter of contacting the ship was delayed...... Don't tell the mayor about it. ”
"It's nothing, I just want to go to Funaura Island first," Gao Cheng was not interested in the reasoning competition, "but is the mysterious corpse rumored here true?" ”
"Yes, it seems that the person who died in the typhoon a year ago starved to death on the island, and left some strange words, and the mayor went to Funaura Island a few days ago, and after finding the body, he wanted to solve the puzzle......"
Taketomi said and looked at Uncle Maori, who was smiling proudly in the face of the interview as if he had already won the game, and said with a relaxed expression: "If you can gather so many detectives this time, it seems that you will be able to solve the mystery soon......"
The corners of Gao Cheng's mouth twitched slightly, there is actually this kind of TV show that conducts reasoning competitions before even the mystery is solved.
"However, I heard that the island's reputation has deteriorated because there have been kidnappings and robberies, right?"
"That was four or five years ago, and it was the mayor's daughter who was kidnapped," Taketomi shook his head and continued, "Is Detective Joto going with us to Funura Island?" ”
"Something happened to the mayor's house?"
Gao Cheng was slightly distracted, and when he heard Zhufu's question, he nodded and said, "I'll make a call first...... When will I be able to come back? ”
"It shouldn't take too long, and I should be back in the evening."
"Then I'm going to have to bring some snacks first......
Gao Cheng returned to the parasol and wanted to find his mobile phone to call Xiao Ai, only to remember that the mobile phone was charged in the hotel.
"Sure enough," Hattori appeared next to him with a black face, "I knew what your guy would do, and he actually wanted to step on it with the staff first, it's too cunning!" ”
Conan nodded repeatedly: "Yes." ”
"In that case," Hattori patted Conan, looked at Gao Cheng and smiled, "Let's have a good competition a day in advance, and as punishment, Kudo will follow me and have a showdown between Osaka and Tokyo with you......"
"Hey," Conan couldn't help but interject, "I'm from Tokyo......"
"What's the matter, you're going to be my assistant." Hattori said cheekily.
Gao Cheng's forehead jumped, a little speechless: "I'm not stepping on the ...... in advance for tomorrow's game."
……
"Hum—"
On the calm sea, a cruise ship broke through the waves and left the harbor to go to Chuanpu Island, not only Gao Cheng and the three, but even He Ye and Xiaolan also boarded the boat together with great interest.
The sea view is beautiful, especially the wet sea breeze, and the mood seems to be good, but Gao Cheng's feelings are a little different from others.
Originally, it was just an ordinary trip to Okinawa, but as the reasoning competition gradually arrived, some unknowns were faintly unsettling.
In particular, the mystery of the unknown corpse that will be the content of the competition......
Gao Cheng looked at several young staff members who were talking, and asked the director Zhufu: "Mr. Director, what happened to the robber case four or five years ago?" ”
"Oh, this, it's the mayor's only daughter who was kidnapped for ransom five years ago, it seems that because the mayor didn't pay the ransom, these robbers broke into the mayor's house a year later and stole the golden screen of the mayor's house......"
Zhufu sighed: "But the mayor of Jincheng is really true, and he refused to pay the ransom for his daughter and the screen one after another, and as a result, his daughter and the screen are still missing, and the gangsters have never been caught in the end." ”
Gao Cheng was surprised: "Did Mayor Jincheng directly refuse?" ”
"Yes, I heard that when his daughter was kidnapped, it happened to be the time when the mayor's wife died, and there was also a maid who was killed by a bandit group, and even the housekeeper resigned in fear...... Everyone is saying behind the back that the mayor is a stingy and cold-blooded person. ”
"It's no wonder," interjected a few of the young staff members on the ship, "if the mayor had been willing to pay the ransom, Miss Xiaodu and the maid would not have died......
"Miss Xiaodu?"
"It's the mayor's daughter, it's been so long, and no one has been found, and everyone is rumored to have been killed by robbers."
"I saw that the mayor of the town found a body on his island this time, and I guess I was scared so I hired a detective to come over and do this show......"
The long-haired man in the vest looked at Gao Cheng curiously: "By the way, you are ......"
"Tokyo's famous detective," a wheat-skinned female staff member chuckled, "a Joto detective with the same name as a Maori detective, right?" And this Osaka guy here, who should also be one of the protagonists of this special program, Kansai's high school detective Hattori Heiji ......"
"The two of them, huh?"
"It's here," Taketomi said happily by the window of the cruise ship, "that's where tomorrow's game will be, and the uninhabited island where mysterious corpses and mysterious texts will be found." ”
Gao Cheng followed and leaned out of the boat, and sure enough, he saw a small island at the end of his sight, almost completely covered with forest, it didn't look big at all, shaped like a turtle floating on the sea, and a lot of white seagulls could be seen near the coast, the scenery was not bad, but the location was too far away.
"Looks a lot like a sea turtle, doesn't it?" Taketomi smiled, "Actually, everyone is used to calling it Ghost Turtle Island, because the front end of the island is very similar to the head of a turtle......"
