"No, there is also a crayon on the door that says 'Mommy's room', so kachan shouldn't mean mommy......"

Hattori crouched down and looked at the door in front of him and said, "The door here has the words 'Kachan's room' and 'Choni's room'......"

By the light of the candlelight, Gao Cheng, who had been following silently behind, also saw the words on the door.

In addition to the words kachan and choni, a bird and a long thing are also drawn under the door, which is clearly a child's graffiti.

Because of the time, the handwriting is slightly blurred, and the light is dim, which looks a little terrifying, as if entering the world of resentful spirits......

Either way, it really seems to have something to do with the tragedy of four or five years ago.

"Mr. Taketomi, have you heard your cousin who works as a maid at the mayor's house mention it? If she is someone who often comes here to play with Miss Xiaodu, she should know. ”

"This," Taketomi scratched at her hair, "she didn't mention ......"

"It turns out that the maid is the director's cousin?" The vest-in young man Ikema and Dadong walked down with the candlestick, "It's interesting now, many of us have something to do with the mayor's family this time......"

"Huh?" Taketomi looked at Ikema in surprise, "Are you too?" ”

"My mother is the younger sister of Mrs. Mayor," Ikema smiled and turned to the serious uncle Dadong behind him, "And this Mr. Daito seems to be a childhood sweetheart with Mrs. Mayor, last year when I and my mother swept the grave of Mrs. Mayor, this uncle happened to be incense in front of the grave, when my mother asked him who he was, he replied like this......"

Saying that, Ikema remained skeptical: "Of course, my mother said that she doesn't remember much, so it's really doubtful whether what he said is true or false......"

"Hmph, that's of course," Dadong said disapprehantly, "Your mother is so different in age from the mayor's wife, how can you remember it clearly?" ”

Conan looked at Ikema and asked, "Big brother, since your mother is the younger sister of the mayor's wife, you should know Miss Xiaodu, have you been to this island before?" ”

"No, let alone this island, I haven't even been to the mayor's house, because the mayor's view of the rich man is very deep, and I only saw his daughter a few times when I was a child......"

Ikema sighed, looked at the silent Hirashi Ie next to him, and said, "I don't know Miss Hira, but that guy Kume went to the same school as Miss Koto from elementary school, junior high school to high school, so I don't know if the murderer is beating us people......"

He Ye swallowed his saliva: "Could it be that Miss Xiaodu was buried somewhere on this island and turned into a messenger of hell?" ”

"Boom!"

With a burst of lightning, there was a thunderous sound outside the house, but there was no rain.

While everyone continued to go back to the restaurant to wait, Gao Cheng walked out of the villa alone, looked at the oppressive sea, turned on the watch flashlight and turned around and walked into the forest behind.

The gloomy woods were strange and scary, and even Gao Cheng felt a little hairy in his heart, and he couldn't help but think of the bloody corpse of Kumi Haoji.

Hell, I'm obviously afraid that the problem with the corpse is long gone, and I even went into the dissection room once.

Shaking his head, Gao Cheng continued to search the forest with a flashlight.

Four of the accompanying staff members were related to the mayor's family, including the murdered Kume Yoshitsugu, the uncertain captain and Heira Ie, one missing and the other behaving strangely.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or a necessity......

In addition, there are all kinds of words left by the little girl in the villa, in addition to the bedroom, the chairs in the dining room also have markings, but the words choni and kachan do not appear in the dining room, and when it is written about the mayor of Kaneshiro, the name is "Mr. Kaneshiro", and "Mommy" are completely two names.

He had seen the chair with the words choni and kachan in the kitchen, and from this point alone, it was very likely that the two were the housekeeper of the mayor's house and the maid, the housekeeper's name was not clear, but the maid's name was Matsumoto Yoshiko, which didn't seem to have anything to do with it.

However, the choni chair in the kitchen used to say Mr. Loach, but then I wiped it off and replaced it with Choni, and the loach matches the pattern on the door.

These clues were mixed in Gao Cheng's mind, and they seemed to have some kind of connection, but he couldn't sort out the clues for a while.

Sure enough, if he didn't ask Mayor Xia Jincheng, he estimated that it would be difficult for him to figure it out.

"Rustle."

Gao Cheng stepped on the damp branches and leaves in slippers, looked back at the surrounding woods, and found a small boat covered with tarpaulin among the trees with the help of a flashlight, with a lot of moss and overgrown weeds, very old.

Gao Cheng stopped, got closer, found a lot of blood droplets among the grass, uncovered the tarpaulin, and found that there were blood stains and bump marks on the side of the ship.

Is this the scene of a murder?

Gao Cheng's fingers tightened slightly.

Someone must have lifted the tarpaulin before, and the leaves covering it were scattered all around, is it Kume Yoshiji?

There was an unopened sealed box in the boat, Gao Cheng bit the flashlight with his teeth, carefully opened the sealed box, and found a small screen that had been folded and carefully preserved, on which several egrets were drawn.

"It's ......"

Gao Cheng's eyes fluctuated, closing the box and putting it back into the boat, grabbing a broken rusty iron chain found on the hull.

Got it.

……

"Knock ——!"

In the silence of the night, when everyone waiting in the villa was drowsy, the island suddenly sounded with a bang, and even the table shook with it.

"What's the sound?" He Ye, who was awakened, yawned and said blankly, "Could it be that the rescue boat is coming?" ”

"It's finally here, it's too slow, isn't it?"

Everyone hurried out of the villa, and sure enough, there was a boat looming in the direction of the dim dock.

"It's really a rescue boat," Xiaolan said in surprise, "we are saved!" ”

"That's not right!"

Hattori ran to the dock after Xiaolan and the others, looking solemnly at the steamer that seemed to be a ghost ship.

"Not only is there no lighting on that ship, but it's not even the right way to park it!"

"What's going on?"

On the side of the villa, Gao Cheng walked out of the woods with a flashlight, and also saw the dark shadow of the ship on the dock, and Xiao Lan, who had been cheering and rushing to the ship, came from a scream.

"It's the captain!"

Everyone rushed to the dock together, and by the light of the flashlight, they were shocked to see the missing captain hanging from the side of the ship with a rope, and his horrific face was covered with blood flowing down, and the words "I am a messenger of hell" were written in blood on the hull next to him.

"How so?"

"What a cruel ......"

Hattori frowned and joined the crowd in lowering the captain's body from the ship.

"The murderer kept beating the captain with something hard like a water pipe, and continued to beat him after he lost his breath, and then put the captain on the side of the boat with a rope around his neck, and finally wrote a message in the blood of the deceased...... It seems that it must have been done by someone who had a deep hatred for the deceased. ”

"That's right," Uncle Serious snorted, "when the ship hit the dock, except for the detective brother, we all stayed in the house, although I don't know if the murderer abandoned the ship at sea or escaped on other ships, but it seems that there are really other people hiding near this island besides us......

"I don't know if that detective brother has an accident too......"

"I'm not sure yet, right?" Gao Cheng walked over from behind with his hands in his hands, glanced at the corpse lying flat on the dock, and lightly jumped on the cruise.

"Joto?" Hattori was stunned, "Where did you just go?" ”

"Just a casual walk around the outside......"

"Brother Joto," Conan suddenly came out of the boat, "I just went to the boat to take a look, and there was a small TV-like machine on the other side of the control seat, and from that screen, it seemed that the ship had just circled from the dock to the sea!" ”

"Really? That's supposed to be autopilot......"

Gao Cheng collapsed his eyelids, ignored Conan, who pretended to be stupid and cute, and followed into the cab to check.

In addition to the autopilot, there is a submarine sounding sonar.

Sure enough, the captain had circled the island to search for things in the sea, and it was all clear......

"Self-driving?" The serious uncle outside the ship frowned and said, "Maybe you can go around the island for a week, but the impact of the tide here is not small, even if it is really autopilot, how can it just hit the pier?" ”

"It doesn't matter if it doesn't just hit the dock," Hattori laughs, "just set the boat's autopilot to drive near Hanan, so that the ship will slowly move along the reef around the island, and it will be enough to hit a certain part of the dock, and won't there be traces of the side of the ship?" That's the proof of being scratched by a coral reef......

"In other words, even if we stay on the island all the time, we can do it!"
