Ke Xue: Ai-chan and I have an agreement

Chapter 539: Taira Ie

On Ghost Turtle Island, in front of an abandoned and dilapidated house, a group of people were standing at the door.

Hattori Heiji read out the words engraved on the door panel word by word.

"The princess is buried in A, not B."

Masao Taketomi explained, "A year ago, there was a male corpse leaning against a wooden board here. It was said that he starved to death after not eating or drinking for several days."

"I remember that at that time, a large typhoon happened to occur near this island and hit the small island."

“So many people speculated that maybe he had a shipwreck, which caused him to become like this.”

"But there is no definite evidence for these. The only things left are these strange words."

The brief explanation allowed Hattori Heiji to understand the whole story.

He also understood that this should be the mystery he needed to solve when competing with Uncle Maori.

At first glance, there really is no clue.

As for the distant mountains and leaves on the side, she was not interested and her eyes quickly shifted to the house next to it.

“Who built this house?”

Yuanshan Heye was very curious. Logically speaking, how could there be houses on such an uninhabited island?

It is indeed a bit strange.

To this, another person quickly gave a reply.

That is the passerby, Ie Hirara, who has been diving since getting off the boat.

She is a woman with very beautiful appearance and extremely sexy figure.

Especially the impressive weapon that makes people unable to take their eyes off.

After her explanation, Yuanshan Heye and others realized that the original owner of this house was the villa of Mayor Jincheng of the previous island.

However, after being hit by the typhoon, he has not repaired this place, and perhaps he will never come here again.

"It's indeed very different from what I saw before." An uncle following behind Taira Ie sighed as he looked at the house.

The man's name was Mikiya Daito, and he was one of the locals invited by Masao Taketomi.

In addition, there was another captain named Shimochi Takashi, but he did not get off the ship.

After asking curious baby Conan, it was learned that Daito Mikiyasu had been here two years ago.

Others have been to this place to some extent.

But after the discovery of the strange male corpse, he rarely came here again.

Seeing the atmosphere gradually becoming tense, the person in charge, Taketomi Masao, clapped his hands and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. I will discuss the process of the competition with Brother Hattori first. The rest of you go to the island to see if there is anything special or worth noting."

"See if it helps solve the puzzle."

Naturally, there was no problem with the people who were called here, as they were paid by Taketomi Masao to do the work.

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Letting these guys go clearly shows that they don't trust him, a detective from Kansai.

However, since he was the leader of the show, Hattori Heiji didn't say much, and the two of them started chatting.

Several hours passed.

The group returned to the ship one after another, and Hattori Heiji was still wondering what the riddle meant.

Even after discussing it with Conan for a long time, I still couldn't come up with any clue.

Ran Mouri and Kazuha Toyama were chatting animatedly, but none of the suggestions they offered were adopted by Hattori Heiji.

Even the kid thought it was a bit noisy.

As time passed, the sun set, and the dim light was reflected on the undulating sea surface, revealing a sad color.

Yuichi Shiina brought Haibara Ai back to the ship and saw that the atmosphere in the cabin was obviously wrong.

But he chose not to say anything.

Never get into trouble!

Mao Lilan walked forward and said, "Brother Yuichi, Xiao Ai, where have you been?"

"Sea fishing!" Shiina Yu replied with a dark face.

Thinking about his experiences in the past few hours, he was not in a very good mood.

He didn't expect that he would always come up empty-handed when fishing, but things changed when the fishing rod fell into Haibara Ai's hands.

In just a few dozen minutes, several fish were caught.

In response, Haibara Ai said it was too simple and not interesting at all.

Shiina Yuichi was numb. These few short sentences hit him so hard that he was speechless.

In order to prove that he was definitely not a fisherman, Shiina Yuichi gritted his teeth and continued fishing for more than two hours.

As for the result... those who understand will understand.

He probably will never want to fish again in his life.

Haibara Ai had no intention of hiding anything and directly explained the whole story.

When Mao Lilan heard this, she just covered her mouth and laughed.

Harsh!

Too harsh!

There was a hint of moisture in the corners of Shiina Yuichi's eyes.

What a wonderful day!

However, he was surprised that today was so calm. It was almost dark, and no one had died yet?

No, nine out of ten times it is wrong.

Shiina Yuichi glanced inside the cabin and it seemed that someone was indeed missing.

"Where did that golden-haired lady go?" asked Shiina Yuichi.

He guessed that the reason why the boat hadn't set sail yet was because the woman hadn't arrived yet.

After these words were spoken, the other people looked at each other in surprise.

They also don't know the whereabouts of Taira Ie.

Almost an hour had passed since they got together.

Logically speaking, Taira Ie shouldn't have been delayed for so long.

Hattori Heiji and Conan were the first to notice something was wrong and ran out quickly.

Seeing this, others had no choice but to follow.

Shiina Yuichi, who didn't want to leave, ran out reluctantly at the signal of Haibara Ai.

Fortunately, the island is not large, so the group started their search from the beach.

Hard work pays off.

On the completely opposite back beach, they finally found Taira Ie's... body.

Half of his body was leaning on the beach, and the other half was in the sea, with his hands clasped together. He had been lost for some time.

There was a text written on the beach next to her.

"I am a messenger from the underworld."

A chilly feeling permeated everyone's heart.

Only Shiina Yuichi showed an expression of as expected.

The two detectives quickly began analyzing the body and preserving evidence at the scene.

After the two people's consistent analysis.

It can be learned that the murderer was still at the scene not long ago.

Because not far above the corpse, there was a wet mark.

This means that when the tide is high, the waves can reach this location.

The writings left on the beach would certainly have been erased, but the fact is that the sea water was below the body, which means that the murderer left these words intentionally.

Judging from the distance between the waves and the words.

It is true that the murderer appeared here not long ago.

But most of them were on the boat at the time and had no chance to commit the crime.

The only possibilities are Shiina Yuichi and Haibara Ai.

But no one suspected them. After all, who would kill someone and bring a child along?

Besides, it was the first time that Shiina Yuichi and Pingliang Ie met, and there was no deep hatred between them, so why did he kill her? It is impossible to explain the motive.

Therefore, Hattori Heiji concluded that there might be other people on this island.

Of course, his conclusion scared others.

Suddenly, a murderer appears on an uninhabited island. Tell me, is this scary enough?

After preserving the evidence, Hattori Heiji suggested that the young and strong Ikema Shinro and Kume Yoshitsugu carry the body back to the ship.

After all, the sky is much darker now, and they need to go back to the island to report the case.

However, the conversation between the two attracted the attention of Hattori Heiji.

After their group got off the boat, Taira Ie went diving alone.

But why did she want to dive here?

The ocean currents near this island are very dangerous and one can be swept away if one is not careful.

Even for thrill-seeking purposes, diving takes too long.

Unless... there is some secret in the sea!

Hattori Heiji seemed to have found a breakthrough, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he dived into the water with his head covered.

Conan watched his actions and immediately understood what he was thinking.

But he disagreed with Hattori Heiji's approach.

It was too dark now and the ocean currents here were very dangerous. He wanted to speak up to stop him, but he was not as quick as Hattori Heiji.

Before he could finish his words, Hattori Heiji disappeared on the sea.

Yuanshan Heye looked worried.

This damn guy never takes his own safety seriously!
