Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 305 299. Passionate like Beihua Town
"This is Shikijima Island. It looks like an ordinary little island?" Lin Longma and Okami Zhushan sighed as they stood on the boat, gazing at the outline of the island in the distance.

"It's just an ordinary little island. Even with the gold from the Dragon God, it's still ordinary."

Dashang Zhushan echoed Lin Longma's words.

Is the gold on the island actually related to the villagers? It has nothing to do with it, because the gold on the island will soon be taken away.

Of course, even if there were no Lin Longma and Da Shang Zhushan, the gold would not belong to the villagers on the island.

If this gold was really discovered, it would only be a feast for the upper class of Fushima. It would never be served on the table for the common people.

The only chance they have to sit at the table in their lives is to be eaten as food by the bigwigs.

What's more, there might be someone on this Shiki Island who knows about the Dragon God.

On the way here, Lin Long analyzed the situation with Dashang Zhushan. Since this guy knew the whereabouts of the gold, he was willing to live on this small island with nothing.

It’s definitely not because this guy likes seafood and enjoys the fishing life.

It is because this batch of gold may not have come from a good source. When the Dragon God encountered a shipwreck and anchored near Shikima Island, it was not discovered.

This guy most likely took the opportunity to hide the gold and wait for the statute of limitations.

But he didn't expect that after only 7 years, the Dragon God, which had been well hidden, suddenly "lost control" and reappeared on the sea around Fukishima, and even all the villagers knew about it.
How can this not be considered bad luck?
When the yacht arrived at the dock, Lin Longma and Dashang Zhushan got off the boat. The staff at the dock were obviously surprised when they saw Dashang Zhushan.

What followed was a burst of ecstasy, and then he ran away.

Lin Longma and Dashang Zhushan were not in a hurry to leave the dock, and someone would come to pick them up soon.

Sure enough, less than twenty minutes later, the village chief of Shikishima, Takeo Mikami, rushed to the dock excitedly.

But when he noticed the yachts moored at the pier, Takeo Mikami's face became extremely ugly.

"That was the village chief of Shikishima, Takeo Mikami, and it was he who issued the commission to me."

"Private commission?"

"Of course not. We used public funds from the village office." Dashang Zhushan showed a hint of sarcasm. As a famous detective, his commission fee was not cheap. This was really spending public money to do his own thing.

Do the villagers on the island really think that the village chief is working to benefit them?
“And last time when I was attacked, I was planning to take the village’s liaison ship to leave Shikishima.

But the village chief Mikami threatened me that the island's liaison ship would not sail without his order."

Okami Zhushan sneered when he talked about Mikami Takeo, and Lin Longma didn't ask Okami Zhushan how he escaped from Shikishima.

I thought that not everyone on the island was so confused. Gold was illusory. Even if it was really found, how much would it be in the hands of the villagers?

Only what you earn is truly yours.

As Mikami Takeo got closer, the sneer on Okami Zhushan's face disappeared and was replaced by a smile.

"Murakami, let me introduce you. This is Chairman Lin of Tokyo Isshin Self-Praise Company.

He is my specially invited guest and collaborator.”

"President Lin, this is Mr. Mikami, the village chief of Shikishima. He is also my client." Upon hearing Okami Zhushan's introduction, Mikami Takeo couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He had already trapped Okami Zhushan on the island, but he didn't expect that the old guy would run away when he wasn't paying attention.

As for this President Lin, it was obvious that he was brought in by Dashang Zhushan to support him!

"Partners, I wonder how President Lin can cooperate with us? If I heard correctly, President Lin should be running a consulting company?

When did consulting companies start doing business with precious metals like gold? Or does Chairman Lin have another jewelry company under his name? "

From what Takeo Mikami said, it can be heard that the old guy has been very angry recently.

“Chairman Lin does not own a jewelry company, but his company has long been in close cooperation with the Suzuki Group in Tokyo.

Or do you, Village Chief Mikami, have a channel that can handle this gold?"

In fact, compared with black money and stolen money, gold is relatively easy to handle. Moreover, the price of gold is there, so even if the price is suppressed, it will not be suppressed that much.

But the premise of all this is that Takeo Mikami intends to go through formal procedures to exchange the gold for money.

But it is hard to say how much of the gold he can keep after following the formal procedures. Mikami Takeo is just a small village chief, and the officials above him will definitely not mind this extremely clean extra income.

By then, Mikami Takeo will at most be qualified to smell the food. As for drinking the soup and eating the meat, what does it have to do with him as a village chief?
If you don't want to go through the formal channels, how long will it take to sell 560 kilograms of gold? The jewelry store is not stupid. If you go there many times and visit many stores, they will also be suspicious.

Although Lin Longma does not have a jewelry store, both the Suzuki Group and the Isshin Society can easily digest the gold.

In the final analysis, this is a disguised way of giving Mikami Takeo a way out. Otherwise, the several strong men from the Isshin Society who came with Lin Ryoma would not be as polite as Okami Zhushan.

Murakami Mikami Takeo obviously noticed the unfriendly looks from several Isshinkai members and performed a complete face-changing for Hayashi Ryoma on the spot.

"Oh, it's President Lin from Tokyo. It's a great honor for our village to have you come to Shikishima!
Please give me a chance to entertain you, please, please!"

Takeo Mikami, who was able to become the village chief, was shameless enough to lead the way and pretend to be a "doorman".

Okami Zhushan's return again made Mikami Takeo both angry and happy.

The one who was angry was naturally the backer that Okami Zhushan found. The arrival of Lin Ryoma meant that Mikami Takeo needed to share some of his own interests.

This made him feel extremely distressed.

What was also joyful was the arrival of Da Shang Zhu Shan and Lin Long Ma - didn't Da Shang Zhu Shan's return represent the authenticity of the golden legend of the Dragon God?

Generally speaking, it is good news that Dashang Zhushan has returned and even brought people to support him.

If there was no gold on Fukishima Island, would Da Shang Zhushan go to so much trouble to bring people back?

Everything can be discussed, whether it is about literature or martial arts - after all, Shikishima is the base camp of Takeo Mikami, how can he, a village chief, be bullied in his own territory?

Just as the group arrived at the village and walked towards the village chief's mansion, a bowstring sound suddenly rang out on the sparsely populated street!

Then the two Isshinkai members subconsciously protected Lin Longma behind them!
"Brother, be careful!"
