Conan: Another Famous Detective

Until this moment, in the dead of night, Mengyu and Conan could clearly hear the sounds coming from the woods.

It was the sound of a whip hitting an object, a man's suppressed groan, and another familiar voice.

Say it quickly! Where is the gold? Say it quickly!!

This voice was familiar to Yu Gongming and the other three, but it sounded extremely strange to them now.

It's familiar because the owner of the voice is the village office assistant who invited them to Shikishima - Goro Kinoshita;

It's strange because Kinoshita Goro's voice no longer has the kindness like the old man next door, but is just as ferocious as a beast, dominated by desire.

It seems that we came at the right time. Let's go and approach slowly. Yu Gongming said in a low voice.

Meng Yu and the two understood, and under the cover of various abnormal sounds coming from the woods, the three of them slowly approached the source of the sound.

After a moment, a light source gradually appeared in the darkness, and the sound and the light source slowly overlapped, allowing Yumiya Akira and the others to confirm the target location.

Yu Gongming's leg muscles tensed slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he found a safe path in the dim light source.

The next moment, Yu Gongming's whole body seemed to turn into an arrow, rushing straight towards the light source!

The distance got closer and the light became more abundant, and Yu Gongming gradually saw the scene in front of him clearly.

I saw Kinoshita Goro holding a low-brightness lighting flashlight in his left hand, a cane in his right hand, and a sharp knife on his waist.

Opposite him, the lighthouse guard Hamada was tied to a big tree in a standing position.

At this moment, his clothes were full of long and narrow gaps, and on his exposed arms and calves, there were at least a dozen hideous wounds oozing with bright red blood.

He lowered his head and his eyes seemed to be closed, as if he would faint at any time.

Kinoshita Goro turned his head when he heard the noise. Hanomiya Akira looked at him for a moment, sneered, and immediately stepped forward, grabbing Kinoshita Goro's wrist holding the cane with his right hand!

The next moment, his waist sank, and his arms exerted force. Using Kinoshita Goro's wrist as the axis, he threw Kinoshita Goro's entire body directly into the air, and then hit the ground hard!

boom!

ah!

The collision sound of the body touching the ground and the screams sounded one after another. Kinoshita Goro tilted his head and passed out.

Conan and Mengyu arrived just in time. Seeing Kinoshita Goro who had fainted, Conan's brows couldn't help but jump.

Isn't it? Are you going to be so exaggerated...knocking someone unconscious with one hand?

Meng Yu's expression was much more normal, because after estimating Kinoshita Goro's body shape, she found that she could also swing it with one hand.

Akira Hanomiya picked up the flashlight that fell on the ground and shined it on Hamada again.

Hamada looked at Kinoshita Goro who was instantly killed, and then at the three people of Akira Hanomiya who suddenly appeared. His eyes that had been half-closed suddenly widened.

Well, help me loosen the rope quickly, this old man is going to kill me! Hamada shouted.

Conan was about to help Hamada loosen the rope, but was stopped by Akira Hanamiya.

If you want us to loosen the rope, you can answer a few questions for us... Aoki. Akira Hanomiya said calmly.

As soon as he heard the word [Aoki], Hamada's face instantly turned pale!

You...how did you know... Hamada...or Aoki said with obvious panic in his tone.

Oh? Is your name really Aoki? It seems that you and Uehara Yasuo are old acquaintances, right? Akira Hanomiya asked calmly.

Aoki's expression changed again, and he looked at Yu Gongming with wide eyes: How much do you know!?

I know a lot more. For example, the colorful ball full of gasoline this afternoon was your handiwork. For example, you know the whereabouts of that batch of gold. For example...

Yu Gongming's smile gradually turned weird: You were the crew member of the Dragon God seven years ago!

Every time Hanemiya Akira said something, Aoki's expression changed. By the end, Aoki's expression was distorted and his face was ferocious.

Kinoshita Goro caught you, didn't he want to know where the gold was hidden? Akira Hanomiya asked again.

Aoki was silent for a while and said coldly: Yes, it seems that you have the same purpose as him.

You are right to say that, but we are different from him. We are only entrusted by others to find gold. After we find the gold, we have no intention of monopolizing the gold. Conan said.

Haha, who can not be tempted by gold worth one billion yuan? Aoki sneered.

If you say you are not impressed, you are definitely lying. However, money that comes from improper sources will not be stable after all. If you find gold and hand it over to the state to get a reward, or complete a commission and get a commission fee, you will get less, but the money will be used with peace of mind. . Yu Gongming said calmly.

Hmph! With such an idea, you will never become a rich man in your life. Aoki sneered.

I don't know if I can become a rich man, but at least I won't end up being tied up, tortured, or even almost killed. Yu Gongming retorted.

You! Aoki was speechless for a moment.

Forget it, actually we know even if you don't tell us, the gold is in the cave said to be full of navy ghosts, it's obvious. Hanemiya Ming said.

Are you sincerely trying to trick me? Why are you asking me when you know everything? Aoki said angrily.

What an easy guy to deceive! Meng Yu suddenly chuckled and said:

What do you mean? Qingmu looked at Mengyu.

Don't you understand? There are actually only two things we can confirm. The first is that your name is Aoki. This is what Uehara Yasuo told us in the conversation with you. The second thing is that the colored ball in the afternoon is Your handiwork, because we saw you sneaking out of the back door of the auditorium.”

As for what happened next, it was actually just a lie to you. Because Kinoshita Goro wanted to torture you about the whereabouts of the gold, we guessed that you might indeed know the whereabouts of the gold, and you are a crew member of the Dragon God, which we really don't know. Meng Yu said lightly.

Yes, I will first tell you the conclusion that we can basically confirm, put pressure on you, and then add some guesses with only a few clues, tell you in the form of a conclusion, and then observe your reaction.

When I said [you know the whereabouts of the gold], your reaction told me that my guess was correct. Then, I converted this guess into a conclusion for reasoning, and finally got a suspect who might know the whereabouts of the gold.

The crew of the Dragon God is undoubtedly the most suspect type of personnel, so I took the opportunity to tell you that you are a crew member of the Dragon God and observed your reaction. As a result, your reaction once again honestly verified my speculation. .”

It's the same principle to know that the gold is hidden in that cave. So, sometimes even if you don't seem to say anything, we already know everything we need to know. Hanemiya Ming said with a smile.

After listening to Yu Gongming's narration, Aoki remained silent, but his eyes looking at Yu Gongming were filled with fear.
