In the afternoon, when the cruise ship arrived on Shikishima, many villagers had gathered on the pier, and a welcome banner was specially pulled, and the atmosphere was very warm.

When Uncle Maori appeared, someone helped to lay the dock pedals for the uncle to get off the boat, and many villagers immediately gathered around and looked at the uncle excitedly.

"It's a detective from Tokyo!"

"The Great Detective is here!"

"I didn't expect me to be so popular!" Uncle Maori saw the welcome formation, his old face was radiant, and he coughed lightly and imagined getting off the boat.

Gao Cheng followed behind with a stinky face, he had never been so popular, and Uncle Maori was really lucky.

"Oh, Mr. Maori, you must be tired from the journey, right?" A bald old man eagerly stepped forward to shake hands with Uncle Maori, and said with a smile, "I'm the village chief Takeo Mikami, I'm so grateful to be here!" ”

Uncle Maori has always been very useful for compliments, and he laughed happily: "Hello village chief......

"Is this not-so-good uncle really that famous?" A little girl with two pigtails suddenly interjected, "As soon as I heard that the detective was coming, I thought it would be a handsome uncle. ”

"Huh?"

Uncle Maori was choked and looked at the little girl angrily: "What did you say? ”

"Xiaoling," Mikami said helplessly, "It's rude for you to treat Dad's guests like this." ”

Maori was stunned, and hurriedly changed his attitude with a close expression: "Ah, Ling Qianjin is really cute." ”

The little girl ignored him and ran to Gao Cheng's side instead, first looked at Gao Cheng, and then looked around Conan carefully, looking inquiring.

"What?" Conan was looked at a little uncomfortable.

"Hey, what's your name?" The little girl asked.

"Conan, Edogawa Conan," Conan replied, "his name is Shinji Joto." ”

"You're not twins?" The little girl stared at Conan, "Your name is so strange, is such a name popular in Tokyo now?" ”

As he spoke, he looked at the wooden knife on Gao Cheng's back: "Have you always carried this knife?" Looks really weird......"

Gao Cheng and Conan don't look over it at the same time: What's the matter with you.

"Whatever," the little girl didn't continue to dwell on, and said with a big smile on her face, "My name is Mikami Lingling, it seems that I am older than you, and I am your sister!" ”

"Sister?" The corners of Gao Cheng's mouth twitched, looking at the little girl who was only seven years old, where is she old?

Mikami Lingling suddenly hugged Conan's arm, blushed slightly, and said, "It's very popular to date people younger than yourself now......"

"People are small and ghosts are big."

Gao Cheng touched his nose, why is this guy Conan always so popular with girls?

"Get out of the way!" The man in sunglasses finally got off the boat, walked past Gao Cheng in a cold voice, and stood in front of the village chief.

"I'm Yasuo Uehara from Toto Travel Agency, please advise."

"You're welcome," Mikami said warmly, "and we will do our best to cooperate with you as long as we can attract tourists." ”

The man in sunglasses had short hair, was wearing a light gray suit, and his expression was rather cold: "Where is the ghost ship?" ”

Gao Cheng frowned, inadvertently smelling a hint of danger.

Sure enough, he was right, this treasure hunt wouldn't be too easy, after all, it was a treasure worth up to one billion yen, and it couldn't be without a little danger.

That's why he brought Lake Toya out in advance.

The key now is that the treasure must be found before anyone else, or before the nuggets sink into the sea......

Gao Cheng followed the group and first went to see the so-called ghost ship Ryujinmaru.

The ship was parked in an open warehouse, and as mysterious as it sounded, it was actually a small yacht, the hull of which was relatively well preserved, except for the rust patches on the bottom.

"Huh?" Looking at the yacht for a while, Gao Cheng suddenly turned his head with a feeling.

"Just ......"

"What's wrong?" Conan wondered.

"No, nothing."

Gao Cheng frowned and looked into the distance, just now he felt as if someone was peeping, but there was no half a figure in the past.

After visiting the ghost ship, everyone went to the Shikishima Village Public Hall, where the upcoming Mori uncle's lecture was held.

"Come on, come on, please use it," Mikami Village in the public hall was hospitable to Mori, and kept pouring wine for Mori, "Mr. Mori, there is still a little time before the speech begins." ”

"Thank you then." Uncle Maori was not polite at all, and his face was flushed from drinking.

Gao Cheng sat on the sidelines, enjoying the rare food, anyway, the village chief entertained the uncle, and he didn't eat for nothing.

However, looking at the appearance of the village chief, I always feel that I am too attentive......

"I said Mr. Mori," Mikami said, seeing that Mori was happy, said, "After you finish your speech, I have something I have to borrow your wisdom for." ”

Although Uncle Maori was drinking, he knew this kind of doorway better than anyone else, and he was not surprised at all: "You want me to help you find the place where Ryujinmaru sank, don't you?" ”

The village chief Mikami was stunned, patted his head self-deprecatingly and smiled: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being a detective, in my opinion, Ryujinmaru should be sunk around this small island, as long as you know the location, those missing gold nuggets can be found." ”

Maori was unmoved: "Even if those gold nuggets are really found, they should not belong to you, because they must be nationalized." ”

"But our small island still has the right to get a hundred percent of the benefits, right?" The village chief held his hand and begged the uncle, "I'll leave this matter to you, Mr. Maori." ”

"No, I refuse, how can I, a famous detective in the world, do this kind of treasure hunting work......"

"What if you were paid a tenth of our island?"

"I'd love to!"

“……”

Gao Cheng pricked up his ears speechlessly, one-tenth of the treasure, that is, 10 million, Uncle Maori would not refuse.

But do you have to hand over the treasure to the state if you find it?

"About Ryujinmaru," the old man Kinoshita explained, "it was a typhoon night seven years ago, in the sea about a kilometer from the island, Ryujinmaru kept sending out distress signals because of a problem with the hull of the ship, but when we went to sea to rescue, the distress signal was suddenly interrupted.

"By the next morning, only the body of the owner of the ship had been found on the shore, not to mention any gold nuggets, and we didn't even find a single drift."

"Who are the owners of those gold nuggets?"

"It was the owner of the dead ship, who was about to be arrested for tax evasion, so he exchanged all his property for gold nuggets, and he was going to flee abroad on the night of the typhoon."

Gao Cheng listened silently beside him.

The nugget must be on the island, and the impression is not that it is sunk in the sea, but it is not clear where it is, and it is best to collect some clues.
