Chapter 478: Hell Messenger
In the dense forest of Funaura Island, Irie Heira only walked a few steps before he found Gao Cheng following him.
"Detective Joto?"
"Has Miss Hira been here before?"
Gao Cheng didn't hide his figure in particular, and calmly followed.
"How many times have you been here," Hira Irie wondered, "why did Detective Joto ask that?" ”
"When I first came to the island, Miss Hirara-sa started diving...... It's like I'm looking for something......"
"Yes, yes?"
Pingliang Yijiang's face stiffened slightly, and when he found that Gao Cheng had the intention of following him, he opened his mouth and couldn't help asking, "Detective Chenghu...... Can I help you? ”
"It's okay, I'll just follow along," Gao Cheng walked beside Pingliang and looked around, "I always feel that that message has something to do with this island, since Miss Pingliang is a local, I don't know if I have any impressions......"
"This ......"
"Isn't it convenient to say? I'm not really interested in tomorrow's mystery game, I'm just trying to solve the puzzle. ”
……
"Princess, A and B ......, damn it, I don't understand it at all, is it A and B of Nails, B, C, and D?"
At the restaurant of the island villa, Hattori frowned in distress, looking at the messages on the notepad and gradually becoming a little irritated, and couldn't help but look at Conan sitting next to him.
"Hey, Kudo," Hattori whispered, "did you find anything?" We'll talk about it before that guy comes back......"
"Not at all." Conan looked at Hattori with disdain.
"Really?" Hattori squinted his eyes and asked, "You probably have already found a clue because you want the castle to win, right?" ”
"How is that possible!!"
"Well, it's troublesome, if you don't even know about it......"
Hattori puffed up his face sullenly, and a serious look of Takarai appeared in his mind.
"I want to win that guy once in a while, it's hard enough to beat him in kendo."
"Huh."
Conan collapsed his eyelids and complained speechlessly.
Who else doesn't know that Joto is the worst at code solving? What's the point of winning......
The time was getting late, and soon it was the agreed time for the return trip, and the people who were exploring the island returned to the dock one after another, and Gao Cheng also followed Heira Yijiang back, and when he walked into the cabin, Hattori was still staring at the notepad inside and meditating.
"How?" Seeing Gao Cheng, Zhufu hurriedly asked expectantly, "Detective Chengto, have you found anything?" ”
Gao Cheng shook his head: "Director Zhufu, what are your arrangements for tomorrow's game?" If you don't find out the identity of the unknown corpse, I'm afraid it's hard to get any results. ”
"Can't you even do it as a city detective?" Takefu's face was disappointed, and he regretted that he didn't bring Uncle Maori over.
It's terrible, if the show fails, the producers won't let him go......
"The princess's eternal sleep is A, not B......" Xiaolan discussed with Kazuye, "Does this sentence mean to describe the princess sleeping?" ”
"I see," Kazuha said happily, "Maybe it means that the princess is usually very beautiful, and the way she sleeps is even more beautiful......"
"Then A and B are the first and second class?"
"Yes, that's what it means, you're so good, Xiaolan!"
"Hee-hee."
Hattori lowered his eyelids and glanced at the two of them, and after waiting for a while, his brows fluttered again and again: "It's noisy, stupid!" I know it can't be like this! ”
"What," He Ye hummed, "we're helping!" ”
Gao Cheng stood on the side with his hands and looked at the island villa: "Actually, I'm not without a little idea. ”
"What?" Hattori raised his head in a daze, and his gaze turned from his notepad to Gao Cheng.
"First, if that person's death was not an accident, the message is likely to point out the murderer's death information, and second," Gao Cheng's eyes condensed slightly, "It is the information that the deceased left a treasure before he died......"
"The princess is not sleeping in place B, but in place A?" Hattori thought about it seriously, "If it's not someone who knows the inside story, there's no way to understand it, who knows what it is?" ”
"I'm more curious about what the princess means in this sentence than this."
Gao Cheng looked at the sky, it was already dusk, and the sky was full of red glow, and it seemed that it would be night soon, he didn't believe in the legends of ghosts and monsters here, but clouds gradually gathered in the sky, and the sea was stuffy, as if it was going to rain.
"It's changed, it looks like we can only talk about it tomorrow."
"Aren't you all together?" Takefu also noticed the dark clouds drifting, "You have to go back to the island quickly, maybe there will be a storm." ”
"Kume doesn't seem to have come back yet," Ikema, the young man in the vest, said strangely, "What's the matter, everyone has been here for so long, that guy shouldn't have found anything, right?" ”
Taketomi frowned and looked at Kojima: "Even if you find something, you won't have to drag it on for so long, right?" ”
"Director, I'll look for it and call him back immediately."
Ikema hurried back to shore and shouted around the island, but received no response except to startle a flock of birds.
"Something doesn't seem right," Hattori said as he stood up and frowned, "Joto, let's go find out too!" ”
"Look along the coast on both sides!"
……
On the back of the island, the waves wash the beach, and the young man with dyed hair, Kume, is lying on the sand with his head covered in blood, his legs submerged by the waves, and the terrible words "I am a messenger of hell" are left on the sand soaked by the sea water next to him.
Gao Cheng's eyes were slightly condensed.
"It's too late...... Hattori squatted next to Kume and shook his head at everyone with a calm face.
"He must have been killed for about two hours, and his neck was strangled by something like string...... There are still scratches on the hands and feet of grass and branches, which must have been killed in the forest and then moved here by the murderer......"
As he spoke, Hattori looked at the message on the sand.
"The killer is supposed to have escaped before we came......"
"Before we come?" Uncle Serious was surprised, "How do you know?" ”
"It's very simple," Conan said, pointing to the sand soaked by the sea, "The sand is still wet here, which means that the waves used to hit this side when the tide was full, but now the waves are below these words, so if they are not written after the tide is low, they should be washed away by the waves." ”
"This ......"
"Also," Hattori looked back at the forest, "there is a pier across from here, and we have been on the boat for Kume since the meeting time, and then we have been looking for it all the way from both sides of the island, and if it weren't for someone coming from the middle of the forest while we were looking for someone, it means that there are people on this island besides us......
"In either case, that person is most likely the murderer."
Hattori's eyes turned to the serious uncle Daito Mikihiko who arrived at the end, and the director Taketomi.
