Chapter 98: Conan's First Kiss?
"Bell, bell!"
A series of bells echoed in the night sky of the island, and after a while, a policeman and many villagers on the island gathered to the side of the Ryujinmaru ship.
"There was a man in armor who killed Hamada?" The police looked at Gao Cheng in amazement, as a witness
"yes," Gao Cheng said as Conan pretended to be a child, "and I saw him run away after knocking Uncle Maori unconscious." ”
"But why did he just knock out the Maori detectives?" The policeman looked at the Maori uncle who had been woken up in confusion, "Didn't the armored samurai want to kill the Maori detective?" ”
"How do I know," Uncle Maori wondered, "that I was knocked unconscious before I chased after me." ”
"It must be the ghost of the navy!" The villagers panicked.
"It's all because you outsiders come to the island to mess around, and the soul of the navy will start to haunt you!"
"If it continues like this, the water army will definitely curse the whole village!"
Before Maori could figure out what was going on, he was surrounded by angry villagers, sweating profusely, and said, "Hey, hey, everyone, calm down." ”
"It's the ...... of the Navy again" Gao Cheng stood aside, saw the uncle in trouble, and helped to relieve the siege, "It's not the undead, it's someone who is deliberately wearing armor, it's the armor placed in the Navy Museum." ”
"And who do you think would do that?" The villagers reluctantly said, "You're a kid who came with this detective, right?" Of course I'll help talk......"
"I know of anyone who might do that," Gao Cheng reminded, "it's Mr. Uehara from the Toto Travel Agency, I saw him and Mr. Hamada quarrel before, they seem to have known each other before, and Mr. Uehara has a pistol." ”
"What? You mean that Uehara? ”
Chief Mikami turned around and asked, "Where does he live now?" ”
"I should be staying in a private hostel."
"Okay, go get him right away!"
"Got it!"
After leaving a group of people to look after Hamada's body, the policeman and the self-defense force formed by the villagers hurried to the private inn.
"Huh?" Gao Cheng's eyes swept over the old man Kinoshita in the crowd, and suddenly felt a strange feeling.
Although the old man hid it well, he could still see that something was wrong, and his right arm seemed to be injured, not only avoiding the crowd's touch, but also covering it with his hand from time to time......
Although he failed to reveal the identity of the armored samurai just now, he also injured the opponent's arm.
Gao Cheng narrowed his eyes and thought about following behind the old man.
If Uncle Kinoshita also had an idea about gold nuggets, it was not impossible to kill Hamada, who had carefully examined just now, and Hamada had died strangely, with small wounds on his body that had been tortured, as if he had been tortured before he died.
The only thing worth doing is Hamada's hidden treasure secrets.
"Uncle Kinoshita," Gao Cheng ran forward and asked the old man, "What did they just say about the undead of the water army?" ”
"Well," Kinoshita explained, pausing his gaze on Lake Toya, "it was more than 400 years ago, when the navy army that had been defeated in a battle fled here, but the inhabitants of the island were blinded by the enemy bounty and attacked the wounded sailors, and finally the sailors were chased to a cave on the side of the island, where they all died.
"Since then, there have been a series of ominous things happening on this small island, that is, the ghosts of the navy army, so the islanders have installed shrines in the cave, hoping to appease the souls of those navy troops."
"But this is just a rumor from more than 400 years ago?" Gao Cheng asked, "Why are you so scared?" ”
"Because there was an incident before," Kinoshita recalled, "about five years ago, a group of university professors specializing in the navy came to this island to do research, and they went to the cave without telling anyone, and in the end they all seemed to be killed by the souls of the navy, and there was no news of them all at once." ”
"Where is that cave?" Gao Cheng asked curiously.
Kinoshita paused, and said with a kind smile: "That cave is not allowed to be approached, little brother, don't care about the souls of the water army." ”
"Can't you?" Gao Cheng poked Uncle Kinoshita's right arm casually, "Uncle, are you injured?" ”
"Shhh
Kinoshita gasped, and forced a smile to squeeze out a smile as he endured the severe pain: "Uncle just accidentally bumped into it, okay, little brother, hurry up and go back to the Maori detective, Uncle still has to help." ”
Not wanting to entangle with Gao Cheng anymore, the old man walked quickly to the police and Self-Defense Force villagers who were ambushed outside the hostel: "Let me go in first, I want to persuade him to turn himself in!" ”
"Mr. Kinoshita?" The police are still hesitating how to arrest Uehara, "But the other party has a gun in his hand......"
"It was our village office that invited him here, and as a village officer, I also have the responsibility, so let me go!" Uncle Kinoshita was quite eager.
Gao Cheng followed and walked over to this side and looked at the police and villagers guarding outside the inn.
"How do you get Uncle Kinoshita in?"
These people are really, knowing that Yasuo Uehara has a gun in his hand, can't they think of something else?
But what is the old man's idea, going in directly is simply startling the snake, and he will be in danger......
"Little brother!" The policeman grabbed Gao Cheng, "It's too dangerous here, just leave it to the adults." ”
"Oh."
Gao Cheng reluctantly stayed with the police, and about five minutes later, when the police on the island were restless, a gunshot suddenly exploded in the hotel.
"Oh no, get in!" The police and the villagers rushed into the hostel, only to see Uncle Kinoshita lying alone in the room, clutching his arms in pain.
"Mr. Kinoshita! Are you okay? ”
"I'm fine, just bruises," Kinoshita pointed to the window, "He ran away, I was trying to persuade him to turn himself in, but he suddenly shot at me......"
"He's fled to the woods, chase after him!"
After leaving one person to take care of Kinoshita, the others chased after him, and Gao Cheng followed to glance at Yasuo Uehara, who had disappeared into the woods outside and running away, and turned his attention to Uncle Kinoshita, who had a bruised arm.
He doesn't believe it if there's no problem, but he can't control it for the time being, and the truth should be understood after he catches Yasuo Uehara......
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the villagers looking for people everywhere, Gao Cheng tried to ask about the Sailor Cave, but everyone's faces changed as soon as they mentioned this, and everyone refused to say more.
"I think Mr. Uehara might just go over there," said Gao Cheng to the police officer, "because everyone won't go over there, right?" ”
"There's no way, absolutely no one on this island dares to approach that side," the policeman looked embarrassed, "It's useless to rely on me alone, I'll just look over there......"
The village chief of Mikami was dissatisfied: "Hmph, you will say such unproductive words!" ”
"Then the village chief, you can find it yourself!"
"Nonsense, why do you want me to go?"
"That," Gao Cheng said, pointing to the island map on the table, "Can you tell me where the Naval Cave is?" ”
"Huh?" Uncle Maori looked at Gao Cheng, who had been dangling in front of him since just now, his face sank, and he suddenly lifted Gao Cheng and threw it aside, "Don't get in the way here, kids, go play with Conan!" ”
"Abominable ......"
Gao Cheng looked at the uncle who was putting on an adult posture angrily, and he had saved this guy before.
However, this is not an option, and the cave is most likely where the gold nugget is, and if you don't hurry over, you may not get anything this time.
Gao Cheng looked at Conan, who was thinking on the side, and his eyes fell on Mikami Lingling behind him.
"You want to go to that navy cave?" Mikami Lingling and Gao Cheng walked outside the police station together, snorting with their hands on their hips, "It's okay if you want me to take you, but there is one condition." ”
"On what terms?"
"Let Conan socialize with me."
"Huh?" Gao Cheng looked at the little girl who was talking about the conditions with half-open eyes, "Are you serious......"
"Hmm...... If it doesn't work, it's okay to let him kiss me. Mikami Rei considered.
"This ......" Gao Cheng held up his chin, "Okay, it shouldn't be a problem to just kiss it......"
