Chapter 479: Trapped
"Hey, don't talk nonsense," Zhufu said with sweat on his head, "I saw that you haven't been back to come to have a look, and you haven't been into the woods at all!" And I came after Miss Hirara. ”
Uncle Serious snorted: "Me too, besides, even if I pass directly through the forest, it is impossible to get here before you, and the captain can testify for us." ”
Hattori touched his chin: "So there are other people on the island?" And Ye, you brought a digital camera, right, borrow it from me, if you don't take pictures for evidence now, it will be troublesome if the tide rises again. ”
"It's brought, but," Kazuha took out the camera from his pants pocket and handed it to Hattori, looked at the bloody corpse next to him and swallowed, "The photos you took will be deleted later......"
"Please, what's there to be afraid of?" Hattori asked Conan to borrow a lighting watch and began to take pictures, "I'll move Kume's body ashore first, otherwise it will be washed away by the sea......"
"Okay."
Gao Cheng stood silently to the side, his eyes swept over the pale face of Hirarashi Ie, and landed on Kume's corpse that was photographed by Hattori for evidence and the strange message on the sand.
The wound on the head of the corpse was beaten by the deceased after being strangled to death, as if he was venting, and the method was cruel......
It doesn't seem to be a simple homicide.
And these messages......
Gao Cheng looked at the undulating waves.
Why did the murderer leave a strange message after killing the deceased and moving the body here after a while?
After taking the photo, Uncle Serious and the young man in the vest carried Kume's body ashore, and everyone followed back to the dock.
"It's getting worse," Conan looked up at the dark sky, feeling like a gale, "I think we'd better hurry up and take a boat back to the island, and wait until tomorrow to investigate it carefully......"
"Stupid, it's too late tomorrow," Hattori stepped forward and stared at Hirara, "Can you tell us now?" What the hell is in the sea? ”
"What?"
"Don't play stupid, as soon as you arrive on the island, you immediately jump into the sea to dive, and if you dare to dive in this kind of water, you must be looking for something in the sea, right?"
Hattori must have smiled and said, "Don't say you don't know, this uncle also said before, it is easy to catch horse mackerel near this island, it is a kind of migratory fish that moves in the sea area with fast currents, and you can see a large group of seagulls in the sky that specialize in eating this fish......"
"Yes," said Uncle Serious, "the tide is fast in this area, and the water is so dark and dark that even a professional diver may drown, and I am surprised that Miss Hira would dive here." ”
"I'm just ......," Irie turned to the guide Taketomi, "I just thought that there might be some clues at the bottom of the sea, because the shipwrecked ship might have sunk nearby, but unfortunately the tide was too dangerous, so I had to give up ......"
"Really?"
"Alright," Taketomi urged, "Anyway, if you have something to say, you don't want to be stranded on the island too, right?" ”
"Go back?" Uncle Serious looked at the dock and frowned, "How do you go back?" ”
"By boat, of course......"
Zhufu followed and looked at the end of the empty dock, and the whole person was stunned in place,
"Ship...... What about the ship? ”
"The ship is gone!"
The crowd stopped in horror.
"That captain can't be the murderer, right?" The young man in the vest panicked, "Maybe he drove the boat to the ...... on the opposite side of the sea in advance when we all got off the boat to look for Kume."
"How is this possible?" Hattori looked like an idiot, "At that time, we were searching along the seaside, and if there was a ship passing by, we would definitely be able to find it." ”
Uncle Serious put down the corpse and stepped forward to observe the gloomy sky: "Hmph, no matter what, that captain should be out of business, now we can only wait for the rescue ship to come in time." ”
"Our mobile phones are all in the backpack on the ship, and that's all we can do, and the TV station found out that the staff hasn't gone back until now, so they should come to us......"
"No, it's impossible," Takefu said in a cold sweat, "I came here today without the producer, so the station didn't know we were here......"
"What?"
"Because I told the producer that I had already stepped on it yesterday......"
Facing everyone's eyes, Zhufu wiped his sweat and turned to Gao Chengdao: "However, the city detective should have said that he would go back before dark, right?" ”
"I did say that," Gao Cheng frowned slightly, and the figure of Uncle Maori came to mind, "but I asked that uncle to tell me......"
He Ye breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Xiaolan's father will definitely find out that the situation is wrong, and then come to us, let's go to the villa and wait first." ”
"That's the worst ......"
Gao Cheng's heart sank, not at all like Ye and Xiaolan were relieved.
"That dead old man doesn't look like he can be trusted."
"Indeed." Conan and Hattori felt the same way.
……
At the main island tavern, Mori Kogoro drank heartily in the company of two young wine girls, and his whole face turned red.
"Oops, this Ryukyu shochu is really amazing!"
"Yes," Mayor Kaneshiro nodded and smiled as he watched the wine lady pour the wine for Mori Kogoro, "This is the old wine I specially prepared to let you shine in tomorrow's reasoning competition...... When the time comes, please explain the whole thing clearly, Detective Maori, I am mentally prepared for the outcome......"
"That's easy to say."
Maori Kogoro took a sip of wine and picked up his chopsticks to taste the sumptuous food on the table: "As long as I Maori Kogoro is on the horse, there is no mystery that cannot be solved...... Hmm, delicious! ”
"These are all Okinawan specialties," Mayor Kaneshiro put down his chopsticks, "By the way, why haven't they come back now?" ”
"There's nothing to worry about," Maori Kogoro vaguely remembered what Gao Cheng had said while chewing, shook his head and said, "I think Bacheng wants to collect clues before me...... We don't have to worry about them, we drink happily until morning, and we don't get drunk! The so-called wine is less than a thousand cups of confidants, haha, right? ”
"Hoo ——!"
The cold wind whistled outside the tattered windows of the Funapo Island Villa, and even though it wasn't raining, the dark sea with strong winds didn't look very suitable for boats.
"I think it's difficult," Hattori sat at the table with his chin propped up, "where is that confused uncle getting drunk with a pretty lady...... Hey, Joto, is there anything you can do? ”
"No," Gao Cheng crossed his fingers and nodded his brows, "But don't worry too much, Xiao Ai will definitely find out that something is wrong, and the rescue ship should come over at dawn tomorrow at the latest...... And, isn't that just right? ”
"What's right?"
"It's the murderer."
Gao Cheng looked at the people in the restaurant: "The murderer is also trapped on this island now, what is more suitable to solve the case than now?" The murderer will never be able to escape......"
