Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 466
"I remember that the TV station's plan was not the reasoning duel between the famous Osaka high school student detective, Hattori Heiji and Mr. Mori Kogoro?"

"How did it become a confrontation between two uncle detectives?"

The director of the TV program took the new version of the project and stood up to answer Hira Ie's questions, "The detective in Osaka refused to perform because he had to go to school, so he was temporarily replaced by Mr. Qin Zhibo to participate in the program."

"This is also very interesting. Of the two hottest late-blooming detectives at the moment, who is the better one?"

It is not an exaggeration to say that Qin Zhibo and Mori Kogoro are late-blooming detectives. Both of them were unknown before, but they suddenly rose in the past month and became dazzling supernovas in the detective world.

More importantly, this show will be Qin Zhibo's screen debut, and this alone is quite topical.

At this moment, a man's hoarse voice came from the cab of the bow.

"It doesn't matter what it is, the most important thing is that we finish the work quickly before the sun goes down."

"In that place, as soon as the sun goes down, those ghosts come to kill you. This is no joke."

"Right? Captain?"

The middle-aged man with a square face in the cab was named Dadong Qianyan, and he looked at the captain aside as if seeking approval after speaking.

However, the captain's face was stiff, his eyes were staring at the sea, and he seemed to be concentrating on sailing the boat, and he didn't talk to each other.

On the other hand, Qin Zhibo in the cabin at the back was a little interested in this topic, and just about to ask what was going on, was asked by Mao Lilan who was very concerned about such supernatural events.

"The bloodthirsty things he's talking about are..."

Kume Yoshitsugu, one of the locals, put on a mischievous expression on his face, and moved his face to Mao Lilan, "Those ghosts are specially here to capture people's souls. This is a legend that has been circulated a long time ago. There was a woman who Just keep weaving."

Shinro Ikema next to him also put on a strange expression of sticking out his tongue and staring at his eyes, and continued, "A messenger from the underworld, dressed in a death costume, will come ashore silently from the shore every night, and take away the souls of the living."

The weak-willed Mao Lilan was so frightened that her heart speeded up, her face showed a frightened expression, and her body unconsciously leaned towards the only person who was most suitable to rely on at the moment, which was Qin Zhibo.

Qin Zhibo was a little different from usual, and didn't feel much about the legend this time.

The reason is very simple. If there really was a so-called messenger of the underworld on the island, Keikazu Shimabukuro would not have spent 4 years on the island safe and sound.

And if you think about it carefully, the legend that there are ghosts on the island can prevent the locals from approaching the small island and reduce the possibility of Keiwa Shimabukuro getting rescued.

So is it possible that the bandit group deliberately spread this kind of ghost legend?

"You said that this legend has been circulating for a long time, how long has it been?"

"I guess it won't be long. After all, it is said that there are abandoned villas on the island. If the owner of the villa knew about the ghosts, he probably wouldn't choose to build a villa on it, right?"

"Also, the content of the legend that the two of you said seems to be somewhat inconsistent. Since this female messenger of the underworld keeps weaving at night, how can she have time to go ashore to snatch her soul?"

"Besides, since she went ashore, it means that she usually stays in the sea. Could it be that she is weaving in the sea?"

"Please give me a reasonable explanation."

Qin Zhibo, who is serious and loving, raised several points in one breath, which made the two local brothers immediately dumbfounded.

"This, this."

"Actually, it was spread out of our small circle of local diving enthusiasts a few years ago."

Seeing Kume Yoshitsugu and Ikema Shinro's faltering, Mourilan also let go of the fear in his heart.

"So it was just made up." Relieved, Mao Lilan patted her chest, "I thought it was real."

Conan raised his head and glanced at the comforted Mao Lilan, and then he understood the reason why Qin Zhibo suddenly became more truthful about this illusory legend.

listen to me thank you
After more than an hour of sailing, the boat finally arrived at Ghost Turtle Island.

Hira Ie changed into a diving suit and said that he would have fun diving in the waters on the shore, while the others went to see the "puzzle" of this reasoning duel under the leadership of Masao Taketomomi.

In front of an abandoned villa on the coast, on the pillars of the porch are sharp words carved with a dagger, which read: The princess died in A instead of B.

Qin Zhibo stood on the spot and observed the investigation point above, while Conan walked up to observe carefully.

Taketomi Masao stood behind and introduced: "The body of the unknown man who was discovered a year ago was leaning against these woodcut words. The cause of death seems to be that he did not eat or drink for several days, and finally starved to death."

"Actually, about a year ago, a large typhoon happened to hit this small island, so the locals wondered if this person drifted to this place because of a shipwreck."

"It's just that there has been no conclusion on this matter, and only these weird words are left."

Although Taketomi Masao said so, Qin Zhibo, as someone who came here after looking for clues, naturally knew what was going on.

A year ago, the person who starved to death was one of the members of the bandit group. He was trapped on the island and died of starvation because Keiwa Shimabukuro stole the boat.

As for this text
[Secret language survey √]

[A refers to the tortoise shell, implying the small island; B refers to the princess of the Dragon Palace, Yi Ji, implying the sea, and the whole meaning of the code: "Princess" is placed on the small island, not in the sea]

The "secret language investigation" did not answer what the "princess" in it meant, but it reminded Qin Zhibo of what Keikazu Shimabukuro said, that the robber a year ago was supposed to put down his supplies and leave, but suddenly sneaked into the into the sea.

At that time, the wind was blowing on the sea, and he did not hesitate to risk his life to dive into the water
The four robbers went to the island to hide some kind of treasure they robbed. After they found someone on the island, what method would they choose to hide the treasure?
Shimabukuro Keiwa has always lived on the island. If the treasure is hidden on the island, if it is discovered, it may be used to threaten or destroy the treasure out of anger.

So they can only hide the treasure in the sea!

And the starving robber left this code, indicating that he had transferred the treasure from the sea to the island.

The treasure is on the island!
Conan stared at the code for a while, but temporarily had no idea of ​​how to solve the problem, so he could only quietly take out a small notebook and write it down first.

Mao Lilan, who didn't know much about code reasoning, looked up at the second-story villa in front of him, and asked curiously, "Hey, who built this villa?"

At this moment, Ie Hirara, who had finished diving, came over wiping the brown hair on his head, "This was built by the mayor of Jincheng Town. I heard that it was used as a villa before, but it was abandoned after the typhoon destroyed it."

Dadong Ganyan on the side also came over and added a meaningful sentence.

"Seeing this place now is indeed much different from before."

"It's like Taro Urashima returned to reality."
