"That's right. The underwater ruins are real, not just legends......"

Facing the sudden appearance of the Koshisui Nanatsuki, Tokitsu Junya's expression seemed to be a little surprised, but he immediately became indifferent again, and continued:

"When I first came to this island, after I found out that there were mudskippers on the island, I understood that this island should have been connected to the mainland next door a long time ago, so it is obvious that the resources and manpower here at that time were not as limited to the island as they are now, so it was not difficult to build a building similar to the ruins, but later, the ruins sank to the bottom of the sea, and this became the underwater ruins."

In this way, Tokitsu Junya explained, as if he didn't want to be stolen from the limelight by Nanatsuki Koshisui.

"Huh? That's what you think? Then the evidence on my side may be more direct. ”

Listening to Tokitsu Junya's explanation, Koshisui Nanatsuki was a little surprised, but then, she gave another explanation:

"I went to Hai Po, who inherited the ancient traditions on this island, and asked about the ruins and legends of the legend, not the village chief came to her to inquire about the legend at the beginning, but earlier, when the underwater ruins were first discovered, Mr. Xiaohama ran to Hai Po to ask about the legend of the ruins."

"What does that mean?"

Mr. Kohama said with a displeased face.

"Of course, just like that, it only shows that Mr. Kohama is very concerned about the matter of the underwater ruins, but it doesn't mean anything."

Koshisui Nanatsuki said indifferently, but then, his tone changed, and he began to say seriously:

However, Hai Po remembers very well that when Mr. Xiaobin came to ask her about it, Mr. Xiaobin did not come alone. At that time, there was another person waiting for him outside Hai Po's residence, which was noticed by Hai Po. And Hai Po was very sure that the person who was waiting for Mr. Kohama at that time was not a resident of the island! ”

Hearing this, Mr. Xiaohama's face changed-

"At that time, the underwater ruins had just been discovered, so there were not many people from outside the island. So, although Hai Po doesn't know who the person who is waiting for Mr. Kohama outside is, she can confirm the identity of the other party with a little investigation. ”

As he spoke, Nanatsuki's expression became extremely sharp:

"So, after learning the news from Hai Po yesterday, I tried to go to the island and ask, and it turned out that there was only one tourist who had already come to the island at that time.

"That's it, the first missing!"

As soon as these words came out, not only Mr. Kohama, but even Shi Jin Runya's face was stunned, but then, Shi Jin Junya's expression became clear-

"According to the investigation, I found out that the first missing tourist had been on the island for at least half a year until the people on the island found out that he was missing. And in the past half a year, except for the time when Hai Po saw him, no one noticed that this tourist had some kind of relationship with Mr. Xiaobin before, and after the other party disappeared, Mr. Xiaobin did not admit to knowing each other, isn't it strange? ”

"I see!"

In this regard, Tokitsu Runya on the side suddenly understood the key, and then said:

"Come to think of it, the first missing person is just like you, Mr. Kohama, who wanted to find the treasure in the ruins, and they should have worked together at first. But then, presumably to monopolize the treasure, after discovering the way to enter the ruins, you killed the other party. ”

"That's right."

Nodding, Nanatsuki Koshisui continued:

"But because it's a treasure that has been submerged in the ruins at the bottom of the sea, it's not easy to take it out, and you have to carry it little by little in order to hide it.

"But because of this, it dragged on for too long, which led to a large number of tourists coming to the island later, and more people went diving to check the underwater ruins, so it was inevitable that others would accidentally discover the secrets of the ruins.

"So, you killed the tourists who later discovered the secrets of the ruins, and that's how the two disappeared came from."

"Xiao Sheng guesses, Mr. Xiaobin, the way you kill people should be to take advantage of the other party's diving to create various conditions in the water and kill the other party. And the location of those three corpses is most likely in the underwater ruins! It is both a place to hide treasures and an excellent place to bury corpses, as long as no one finds the entrance to the ruins and finds the bodies, then the three people will only be missing, and the police will not investigate as a criminal case. ”

Tokitsu Junya proudly analyzed:

"But now, since your attack on Hattori Heiji and their methods yesterday was unsuccessful, and because you were discovered by Xiaosheng in advance, you can't continue to attack them, so you know that when they come back, it will be a matter of time before they explore the underwater ruins. Even you can find the entrance to the ruins, and with the detectives here, it won't take much time to discover the entrance, so you know there's not much time left for you. ”

"Now, Hattori Heiji and they have probably discovered the entrance to the underwater ruins, as long as the bodies of the three missing people are found inside, and then combined with the ruins and treasures that you moved out of the ruins and hid on this 'Giant Rock', it can be proved that you, who have discovered the entrance to the ruins a long time ago, are seriously suspected of killing them!"

Koshisui Nanatsuki gave key evidence at this time, which made any of Mr. Kohama's defenses seem weak-

"Indeed...... Except for the first one, everyone else almost solved the mystery of the ruins...... But no one can take away those treasures! It could only be mine! ”

At this moment, Mr. Kohama no longer hid it, and seemed to recall what he had done before, and shouted a little hysterically.

"Except for the first one?"

In this regard, hearing this, Koshisui Nanatsuki couldn't help asking.

"That's right. The first one is my partner. It took a long time for the two of us to find the treasure of the ruins...... However, at that time, I ran out of oxygen! ”

It seemed that he didn't want to hide it anymore, and Mr. Kohama lowered his head and said:

"I was so preoccupied with finding the treasure that I forgot to check the oxygen stock...... At that time, I could only send a signal to my partner for help. But that guy hesitated! That's when I wondered if he would be reluctant to give me the oxygen. ”

As he spoke, Mr. Kohama sighed:

"But now that I think about it, that guy didn't have much oxygen at the time, and if he gave it to me, he would be in danger himself......"

Speaking of this, as if he had a firm mind, Mr. Kohama began to say hysterically:

"But I want to live, and I fear death from the bottom of my heart! By the time I realized it, I had already stabbed him to death with a diving knife and snatched the oxygen! ”

"That's what happened......

Hearing Mr. Kohama's explanation, Koshisui Nanatsuki sensed a hint of something unpleasant-

"I didn't even think I would be this kind of person......"

His expression gradually began to be clouded, and Mr. Kohama walked towards the rock on the side and continued:

"It's rare for people to get so close to death. When it comes to death, no matter who you are, you will be frightened by the ugliness of your own nature! It is true that ordinary people will not let one discover their deepest nature, even if they seem to be kind on the outside, once they are at the end of their rope, their nature will change greatly. I'm just aware of my own nature......"

At this point, all of a sudden, Mr. Kohama took out a speargun from the rock, turned his head and aimed at Tokitsu Junya and Koshisui Nanatsuki -

"I've already killed three people anyway! It doesn't hurt to kill a few more! As long as I kill you, take the treasure and I'll fly away immediately! ”

Mr. Kohama said with a hideous expression, and the crosshairs of the speargun in his hand kept hovering over the two of Koshisui Nanatsuki and Tokitsu Junya......
