Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 308 302. Mikami has something to say
"Rules? Rules are for the police. We are not police officers, and we are not civil servants.

Why should we follow the rules? "

Lin Ryoma looked at Mikami Takeo strangely. How could a man of such age be so naive?

"Is it that he can only attack me suddenly? Can't I find a way to fight back? That doesn't make sense, right, don't you think, Village Chief Mikami?"

Lin Longma Lai Fu Island only does three things: fairness, fairness, and damn fairness.

Lin Longma thought that being shot with an arrow and having to follow the rules and honestly find the attacker was the greatest injustice.

The real fairness should be that since you attacked me on the island, I will make the whole island in turmoil.

This is the greatest fairness.

The core members of the Isshin Society acted quickly and arrived at the lighthouse on the island as soon as they found out where the lighthouse was.

Then they discovered a fresh murder scene.

"What the hell? Was Hamada Koji killed? Or was he brutally murdered?" Lin Ryoma was a little surprised when he received a call from his key subordinate.

It is highly likely that Yukiji Hamada was not the person who attacked him, but the murderer was really quick.

"Mr. Okami, would you like to go to the scene to take a look, Mr. Mikami, the village chief?" Lin Longma invited Okami Zhushan and Mikami Takeo.

"Of course." Da Shang Zhu Shan readily agreed. The detective should appear at the crime scene.

As for Mikami Takeo, he knew that he had no choice at all - he could not leave the sight of Hayashi Ryoma or his men until the attacker was found.

Fortunately, Lin Longma was a man of rules, and although his personal freedom was indirectly controlled, he did not allow anyone to disturb his family.

He had no resistance to Lin Longma's proposal.

The attacker had nothing to do with him, so no matter where he went, Takeo Mikami would not feel guilty.

Because the lighthouse was not in the village, the news of Yukiji Hamada's death did not spread to the village.

Lin Longma and his group soon arrived at the lighthouse, and under the guidance of the core members of Isshinkai, they saw the murder scene where Hamada Koji died.

"It turns out that he was brutally murdered." Da Shang Zhu Shan was the first to investigate the scene.

He first affirmed the judgment of the core members of the Yi Xin Society, but soon overturned it.

"No, to be precise, it was not a massacre, but rather a high-intensity torture before death.

In the end, the murderer must have gotten what he wanted from Yukiji Hamada, and that’s why he chose to kill Yukiji Hamada.”

After a careful on-site search, Dashang Zhushan made the most accurate and authoritative judgment.

"It seems that there is nothing wrong with Mr. Okami's reasoning. This Hamada Koji is obviously someone who knew about the Ryujin seven years ago.

It's a pity that someone else got there first."

Lin Longma said it was a pity, but his expression was calm and he did not show any regret.

He was indeed not in a hurry, because they were not the only ones who were determined to go to Shikishima.

Lin Longma and Da Shang Zhu Shan were just the teams in the open. There was another group of people led by Jin Tian who went to the "treasure place" given by Da Shang Zhu Shan.

If nothing unexpected happens, the ship should be loaded with gold in a busy schedule right now, right?
When Lin Longma was attacked, he had already changed his original plan and was ready to become an open target together with Da Shang Zhu Shan.

Jin Tian was authorized by Lin Longma to be fully responsible for this treasure hunt. He did not need to report at any time and could act at his convenience.

Therefore, what Lin Longma has to do now is much simpler. He just needs to make things bigger and muddy the waters. Let the attackers in the dark focus their attention on them, which will naturally provide the greatest help to Jintian's actions.

"Mr. Okami, what do you think of the murderer?"

As a famous detective, Da Shang Zhushan has the most say in matters such as homicides.

He also lived up to Lin Longma's expectations: "Yes, I do have some humble opinions."

Da Shang Zhu Shan said modestly: "From the situation at the scene, the murderer did not break into the lighthouse by force, it was Hamada Yukiji who opened the door for him personally.

There were no signs of a fight at the scene, suggesting that Hamada Yukiji was ambushed or subdued in an instant.

This also proves that Hamada Koji knew the murderer. He might not be familiar with him, but he should have a certain trust in the murderer's identity. "

"There are only two possibilities for the murderer's identity. One is that the murderer is a former crew member of the Ryujin and a colleague of Hamada Koji.

Secondly, the murderer is a villager on the island - this possibility is actually higher."

"If Hamada Koji really knew the whereabouts of the gold, he would have been on guard against the sudden arrival of his former colleague.

But the people in the village will not make Hamada Koji particularly alert. "

"Mr. Mikami, do you have anything to say?" Lin Ryoma noticed that Mikami Takeo was hesitant to speak, and asked immediately.

"Yes, I suddenly remembered something when I listened to Mr. Okami's analysis. A travel agency employee came to the island a few days ago and said that he wanted to develop a tourist route here on Shikishima.

The main selling point is the ghost ship, but his actions after arriving on the island always seem a little strange."

To be precise, after the staff member arrived on the island, he didn't look like he was investigating at all, but rather looked like he was looking for something.

What could there be for people to find on Shikishima? There is only the gold that has disappeared without a trace!
Mikami Takeo hadn't reacted before, but after listening to Okami Zhushan's analysis, he suddenly realized what was strange about this person.

"Village Chief Mikami has been a great help! Quick, find that travel agency employee!"

It was those two Yi Xin Hui core members who left immediately after hearing Lin Longma's order, first asked about the employee's identity, and then ran to the employee's whereabouts to capture him.

After the two key members left, Mikami Takeo gave Lin Ryoma another surprise.

"President Lin, there is actually something I don't know whether I should tell you or not." Mikami Takeo looked hesitant. He was really conflicted at the moment.

“To be honest, I didn’t pay much attention to the rumors about the Dragon God’s gold at first. I originally thought that the gold was just a legend.

But Assistant Kinoshita of the village office kept persuading me, so I sent the commission to Mr. Okami. "

Mikami Takeo's words made Okami Zhushan suddenly sneer: "Village Chief Mikami, you are not honest."

"what?"

"You have only paid a small portion of the commission for the investigation you signed with me. Aren't you planning to get rid of me?"

"Part of the deposit, how is that possible?" Mikami Takeo heard this and it was ridiculous. He was not the kind of person who couldn't figure things out.

Of course, for this kind of treasure hunt commission, the money must be paid in full at the beginning, otherwise who would work hard when doing the job?

Even if you don't pay the full amount, you'll still pay a large portion. The detective industry is truly a seller's market, and good detectives and famous detectives have no shortage of commissions.

Paying only a small portion of the deposit in advance, wouldn't that be a slap in the face? Moreover, it was a public account, so Mikami Takeo had no reason to be frugal.

The public funds saved from this thing won’t go into his personal account, right?
