162, it's so comfortable to slap your face with money

And the old man is obviously well versed in the routines of officialdom, and he is the number one detective in the world, coaxing Maori Kogoro to the point that his tail is about to rise to the sky.

However, it is worth mentioning that after hearing the words of Detective Mori Kogoro, the man standing on the deck was startled and ran into the cabin.

…… Something was wrong with that guy, and it seemed even more obvious.

Sano did not return to the cabin, but continued to eavesdrop on the communication of Kogoro Mori and others as if nothing had happened.

Now the identity of that man, at least on the surface, has been revealed.

An employee of a travel agency in Tokyo seems to want to use the gimmick of the Shenryu to make Shikishima a tourist attraction.

At the same time, the identities of Sano and Belmode were revealed, of course, they were all fake, whether it was the registered name or the excuse to travel to Shikishima.

Sano's organization dedicated to this area produced more than a dozen types of identification, including but not limited to residence permits, driver's licenses, and work permits.

The name of each card is different.

For example, Ken Kaneki, Gintoki Sakata, Gintoki Ichimaru, Killua Killua Beaten, Kakashi Hachiki and so on......

cough,Sano really rarely watched anime in his previous life.,It's just that a friend he played the closest to.,All day long, he calls himself two-dimensional.,And pull him to chase it together.,Subtly.,Only slightly absorbed a loss of knowledge.。

Of course, Sano went on board with the identification of a black dead vest.

In Sakuragi Hanamichi, Hideyoshi Onizuka, Yusuke Urahan, Fan Ma Blade and Serizawa Tamo and other identity documents, a random one.

Then listening to it, Sano heard another rumor about the Shenryu.

Ghost ship.

That's how the people of Shikishima call the Shenryu.

It is said that before the disappearance of the Shenryu seven years ago, a distress signal was sent, but when the people of Shikishima were about to go to sea to rescue, the distress signal was cut off again, and it was not until the next morning that the body of the ship's owner was found on the nearby coast.

The residents of Shikishima believe that the Navy's ghosts are haunting them and want to take revenge on them, which is why the Shenlong disappeared so mysteriously.

As for what the Navy Revenant was, the old man didn't mention it again.

Tsk, if you want to say it, just say it all at once, why do you still sell it, the Riddler beware of being thrown into the sea!

Sano, who couldn't fully collect information and couldn't hear the gossip, pouted secretly.

…… Just mentioning the sea of corpses, a question appeared in Sano's mind.

That is, Sano originally thought that this time was the same as last time, and he couldn't touch Conan's mission, but now he still ran into the other party, which means that there will inevitably be an accident on the island.

So a similar problem to Lunaris Island arises.

Will Belmode survive this mission?

Even if you exclude all kinds of external possibilities...... Sano really doesn't need to "exterminate" Belmode?

Unlike in Luna Shadow before, Belmode may not be like Coren in the early days of disagreement, and even if he had, Sano would not necessarily take the same choice as when he was on Moonshadow Island.

Pray for Belmode for three seconds.

…… The next words were just some small talk, and Sano lost interest after listening to it and began to start.

After several hours at sea, the ship finally arrived at Shikishima before lunch.

Before he got off the boat, Sano saw a large crowd of people gathered at the ferry, waving small flags in their hands and cheering incessantly, "Warm welcome to Detective Mori Kogoro to give a speech."

After getting off the boat, a little Mediterranean fat man with a warm face grabbed Maori Kogoro's hand and greeted him politely, probably because he was the village chief of Shikijima, and he was very grateful and welcome.

In addition, there is another one that interests Sano, that is, the one that pops out in the middle, which should be the little girl who is the granddaughter of the village chief.

Sano, of course, was not interested in the little girl, but was amused by the little girl's appearance of being very interested in Conan.

"Your name is Edogawa Conan, my name is Mikami Suzuzu, but I seem to be older than you, then you are my younger brother, but it doesn't matter, the most popular thing now seems to be sister and brother love!"

Looking at the hand holding Conan, and there were two little girls on his head, Sano couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, this kid's peach blossom luck is good.

Belmode, who was following Sano, couldn't help but chuckle at this time: "Junior, do you also like sister and brother love?" ”

This guy is actually secretly observing himself......

The curvature of the corners of Sano's mouth calmed down, and then he glanced at Belmode: "The seniors laughed, in the eyes of the juniors, it feels the most important." ”

Belmode smiled again, and did not continue the topic, as if he had just asked casually.

It's just that in Sano's opinion, Belmode's question just now may be a test of his age range.

Tsk, I always feel that this senior is not simple......

Soon, Sano followed Belmode, who had asked about the location of the Shenryu, and came to the site where a dilapidated steamer was placed.

"Is this the Dragon?"

Belmode wanted to go up and have a look, but unfortunately the islander in charge of guarding it on the side refused with a serious face, saying that this thing could only be viewed from a distance, and should not be played with.

And at this time, Mori Kogoro and others also came to the side of the Shenlong surrounded by the islanders.

The man from the Tokyo travel agency who came with the ship didn't say a word, and hurriedly rushed onto the Shenlong, and no one stopped him.

It's a discriminatory treatment.

Sano and Belmode pouted at the same time, but the other party's eagerness made him more suspicious in Sano's eyes.

After all, which employee will be so active in completing the work assigned by the boss, if there is no urgent matter that needs to leave quickly, then there must be their own thoughts.

For example, a billion gold.

Suddenly, Sano looked back behind him sharply, and Belmode on the side immediately frowned when he saw this: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, it just feels like someone is watching me."

Sano also frowned slightly, but unfortunately he didn't see anything wrong behind him, and if he really wanted to say anything, there was only one ...... Lighthouse?

Could it be someone peeping on it?

"Let's go, let's go eat first, and then find a place to stay."

Belmode said lazily, and Sano, of course, went with the flow.

And just as Sano and Belmode were about to leave first, Conan on the side realized that something was wrong.

"This Shenlong only has serious rust on the bottom of the ship, it doesn't look like it has sunk to the bottom of the sea for many years?"

Maori Kogoro pouted and said, "Nonsense, otherwise how can it be said to be a ghost ship?" ”

Sano retracted his afterglow, his footsteps didn't stop, he just squinted, is there still such a statement.

If this is really the case, then the Shenlong has actually been floating on the sea all these years?

The probability of wandering for many years without being discovered is too small, that is...... Someone immobilized the Dragon's movements.

In a noodle shop, Belmode asks casually, "How is it, do you have an idea?" ”

Sano snapped his fingers: "One point, I'll follow Mori Kogoro later, senior, you can inquire about the matter of the navy's revenant." ”

Belmode raised his eyebrows: "What are you doing with Maori Kogoro?" ”

"Shikishima will invite a detective to come over, of course, it won't be as simple as a speech, they also want to find out the billion gold, someone will collect clues for us, do you still want to watch."

Sano explained indifferently, while Belmode squinted and chuckled: "In that case, let me keep an eye on them, after all, I'm a senior, I don't think you can bear to see me doing field work, how tiring." ”

Hearing this, Sano's interest was immediately hooked again, of course he wouldn't think that Belmode simply didn't want to run in the field, so he put his predecessors in front of him.

This must be a deliberate attempt to distract Sano, or more directly, not to have any intersection between him and Maoriran.

Interesting.

"That's for sure, it's all up to the seniors."

Sano stopped talking nonsense, and instead ate noodles, and after lunch, he found a small and dilapidated hotel and booked two rooms, and the two began to go their separate ways.

I hope Belmode can be reliable, don't leak it, or even directly conceal any important information.

Instead of wandering aimlessly, Sano, after switching his vest and putting on a passerby's hat, went straight to the owner of a convenience store and showed his interest in the rumors of the Navy Revenant.

However, as soon as these four words came out, the convenience store owner's face immediately changed greatly, and his attitude was extremely bad to say that he didn't know anything and told Sanno to stay away.

Of course, Sano has a perfect response to this.

"Smack!"

Sano threw out a stack of 10,000 yuan bills and put it in the boss's face: "Can we talk now?" ”

I've long wanted to enjoy the feeling of slapping people's faces with money.,It's really not poking.,It's really not poking.。

The convenience store owner was suddenly thrown into a big pocket, just wanted to be angry, after seeing what was thrown on his face, there was a moment of silence, and then tremblingly picked up the stack of big bills, counted them again, swallowed his saliva, licked his face and smiled: "Can you add ...... more"

"Give me back, I'll change someone to ask."

Sano stretched out his hand to pull the money back, and the convenience store owner suddenly became anxious: "Hey, hey, I said, I said it wasn't okay!" ”

Then, under the popular science of the convenience store owner, Sanno learned about the legend of the "Navy Ghost".

It turns out that it is said that a group of defeated navies came to Shikishima a long, long time ago, and the residents of Shikishima who were supposed to entertain them were tempted by a bounty.

He even helped the enemy to hunt them down, and finally chased them all to a cave on the island, killing them all.

Since then, strange things have happened on Shikishima from time to time, and in fear, the residents of Shikishima have worshiped the navy as gods, and peace has been restored.

Then, there's the Dragon's business.

The islanders of Shikishima all said that it was also made by the ghost of the navy, so they lost information directly and disappeared for seven years.

And in addition, there are also many people who see the ghosts wearing naval armor appear in the forest, and even in the caves dedicated to the navy ghosts, there are also creepy wails and screams from time to time.

Finally, five years ago, a group of university professors from Tokyo who specialized in naval history tried to investigate the matter of naval ghosts.

According to the convenience store owner, the university professors went straight to the cave where the navy was enshrined to do an investigation without asking anything, so much so that they angered the navy spirits.

So two or three days later, the Navy Ghost reappeared and attacked the university professors directly.

As for what happened to the university professors, the convenience store owner is not clear, but it is certain that the investigation did not continue.

After getting the answer, Sanno didn't stay at the convenience store any longer, turned around and went to another restaurant, and in the same way, he got a rumored description from the boss that was similar to the previous one.

…… Don't ask if this will be too wasteful of money, anyway, it is a task expense, and it is to go back to Gin for reimbursement.

Otherwise, Sano's brain is probably broken, so he will use his own money to slap other people's faces.

Of course, in addition to asking about the navy's ghosts, Sano also asked about the lighthouse on the island.

In the end, the answer was also unanimous.

The current tower keeper on Shikishima Lighthouse is a man named Hamada.

It is said that Hamada was not actually a native of the island, but an outsider who came to the island about seven years ago to find a job, and because there was no tower keeper at the lighthouse on the island at that time, he became a tower keeper.

…… Seven years, which happens to be the time when the Shenlong disappeared, is another major suspect.

The gossip on both sides took Sano less than an hour to listen to.

Sano glanced up at the sky, feeling that it was still early, so he simply planned to go directly to the naval cave to have a look.

The cave dedicated to the navy is in the forest, and the location is very remote, and it is basically impossible for ordinary people to go there, except for ...... The lighthouse.

Sano looked at the white lighthouse, and always felt that Hamada's suspicion was getting bigger and bigger, even bigger than the man from the tour agency from Tokyo.

I hope that Conan's plague spirit will attack more slowly, and I can talk to these two guys tonight.

Sano lowered his passerby hat a little and continued to the Naval Cave.

The naval cave isn't that big, not even as big as Sano's room to be exact, and there's just a ...... in it Altar?

A gust of wind blew in the face, and the cold made people chill in their backs, as if because of the sound of the wind, there were strange sounds in the cave, and those so-called screams and wails probably referred to this.

As for the fact that the residents of Shikishima regard the sound of the wind as the voice of the dead, Sano is not surprised.

Not to mention the nineties, it was thirty years later when science and technology developed rapidly, and Sano also saw many feudal and superstitious villages.

The foolishness of the world is always far beyond your imagination.

It's just that the wind in this cave does seem to be a little wrong.
