Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

Just as he was about to speak again, Miyazaki Yu sneered, "It seems that many of you do not believe me. I will show you the evidence."

As he spoke, his figure flashed, and a sword shadow had already slashed past the latte art ball. The lower half of the ball separated from the upper half in an instant, but before it could fall, it was caught by Miyazaki Yu with the flat of his sword, and then it floated down with his figure, as if it had no weight.

The lower half of the sphere that was severed was also split in two, because the sphere was originally divided into two halves, but left and right halves. Miyazaki Yu now made a horizontal slash, splitting the two halves into four halves. The two halves, which were originally together, lost their inward-curving force and naturally separated at once.

As they separated, gasoline instantly flowed out from between the two halves, and the smell of gasoline immediately filled the air.

"It really is gasoline! What's going on?!"

"It could be the navy causing trouble!"

Upon hearing this, all the villagers showed expressions of fear, and some even wanted to run away immediately.

However, Miyazaki Yu said sternly, "Enough! There is no Navy involved at all. Only evil people are causing trouble. Look carefully, this thing is an automatic ignition device. This kind of thing shouldn't be made by ghosts, right?"

He flicked the tip of his sword, pulled out a small box-like ignition device from the sphere, and threw it onto the podium.

Everyone calmed down after seeing this.

At this point, Kogoro Mouri got furious. He was only there to give a speech, to travel and earn some extra money, not to risk his life.

This is an assassination plot? What's going on?!

"Village Chief Mikami, you must give me an explanation!"

Village Chief Mikami's face also turned grim, and he was filled with doubt. What exactly was going on? This was Kogoro Mouri's first time in the village, and he had no enemies. Yet someone was plotting to take his life.

She could only temporarily cancel her speech, then arranged for Kogoro Mouri to stay in an apartment, and went to discuss the matter with her confidant, Goro Kinoshita.

As a result, Kinoshita Goro concluded that no matter what, they had to insist that it was not murder but an accident, in order to minimize the impact of the incident!

At this moment, Kinoshita Goro was filled with extreme resentment.

"Damn it, I was just a hair's breadth away from killing this detective, but then a kid appeared and saved him. And this kid seems to be quite powerful. If I can't find a way to get rid of him, I'll never have a chance to kill Kogoro Mouri."

Inside the apartment, Kogoro Mouri was still shaken.

"I really owe Miyazaki a lot today. If it weren't for him, I would be roasted pig today. Who the hell wanted to kill me?"

Not only was he puzzled, but Rena and Ai were also surprised.

Ai Haibara said seriously, "This is Uncle Mori's first time on this island. He has never set foot here before, so there is no possibility that there is any personal grudge between them. In that case, it must be because Uncle Mori's arrival here has hindered the interests of some people that he has become the target of assassination."

Everyone looked thoughtful, but Conan gave the girl a deep look.

"This girl named Haibara is really strange. She's just a child, but she can say such things. It's really surprising. Maybe the people around Miyazaki Yu are all unbelievable."

Miyazaki Yu nodded and said, "That's right, Ai is right. Money can corrupt people's hearts. The only thing on the island that has such a huge temptation that people are willing to take risks is the gold worth one billion yen."

Clearly, someone feared Uncle Mori's reputation as a famous detective and worried that if you found the gold, he wouldn't be able to get it, which is why he killed you. Conan, who do you think this deduction can clear as a suspect?

Conan was taken aback. Even after he shrunk, he still often spent time with Miyazaki Yu, but this guy rarely took the initiative to talk to him, which made him react a little slowly.

However, he reacted quickly.

"It was that village chief Mikami who invited Uncle Mori. If it were him, he would have just not invited him. There was no need to invite him first and then kill him before the gold was even found."

Miyazaki Yu gave Conan a deep look, a look that sent shivers down Conan's spine.

"No way, have we been discovered?!"

However, Miyazaki Yu withdrew his gaze and then smiled, "Conan is right. This village chief is obviously a greedy fellow. He really wants to get the gold, but he has no clues, so he thought of asking the famous detective for help."

Clearly, there is another person who has the real clues. He has discovered some secrets, and given a little more time, he can find the hiding place of the gold. So what he is most anxious about now is how to get Uncle Mori out of here.

Mori's eyes suddenly sharpened: "Well said! In that case, let's see who's particularly eager for us to leave. That person is very likely the murderer!"

Miyazaki Yu added: "There are two other points worth noting. First, during our visit today, a man with a scar on his face observed us through binoculars. I spotted him. I had asked around before, and his name is Hamada. He came to this island six years ago, and he is a prime suspect."

Secondly, there's the naval legend. Historically, the supernatural has always been used to cover up certain truths. Clearly, someone is using the so-called legend of naval ghosts to create tension, which was evident in today's speech.

Such an obvious assassination attempt, yet there are still idiots who think it's the Navy's doing. Clearly, this legend has taken deep root in the hearts of the people on this island. Such a legend that has lasted for hundreds of years must be in line with the wishes of some people, otherwise it would never have been so enduring.

Chapter 283 Transferring Gold (3rd Update!)

"Phew—" Conan's heart skipped a beat.

This guy is terrifying; he managed to deduce things to this extent based on just this little bit of clue!

"Although I'm reluctant to admit it, I have to say that this guy is indeed very capable. He's right. The person who wants to assassinate my uncle must be the one who desperately wants him to leave. I want to see who exactly wants to kill my uncle."

Before long, the balding village chief, Mikami, came over and began a 'sincere' apology with a neon-like style, kneeling on the ground looking utterly terrified.

"I'm so sorry, it's all my fault for not managing things properly, which caused this accident!"

"An accident?" Miyazaki Yu sneered.

"Village Chief Mikami, you should think carefully before you say that. There was a pre-installed ignition device inside the flower ball. How could this be an accident?"

Village Chief Mikami gritted his teeth and said, "This was indeed an accident. I've already explained that to Mr. Mori, and there's absolutely no mistake about it!"

Kogoro Mouri scoffed, "You actually don't want the police to handle this, that's why you insist on calling it an accident, right? Is it for the gold? That's right, once the police arrive on the island, your plan to keep the gold for yourself will fail!"

To everyone's surprise, the village chief, Mikami, suddenly became tough, stood up, and spoke with a mocking expression.

"Alright, Mr. Mori, all you have to do now is find those gold nuggets. You don't need to worry about the rest."

These clearly threatening words instantly made Kogoro Mouri furious.

"What did you say?"

The village chief of Sanshan Village sneered, "You had better do as I say. If you don't behave, I can't guarantee you'll leave this village unscathed."

Before the village chief could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck as a sharp blade pressed against it.

Village Chief Mikami felt his soul tremble with fear as he discovered that it was the young man with the sword who was looking at him mockingly.

“Village Chief Mikami, I don’t like the tone of your words, so I hope you can take back what you said. I once used this sword to stop a sniper bullet, and I can also easily cut off your neck with it, just like this!”

A flash of sword light swept across his head, and a bone-chilling cold immediately followed, like when someone put snow from Hokkaido into the back of his clothes when he was young—that icy feeling was enough to drive him crazy.

After the sword light disappeared, he immediately sat down on the ground, his face pale and bloodless.

He hurriedly touched the top of his head, but his expression turned even worse, because his head was now completely smooth, as if it had been shaved off, with not a single hair left, and it felt slippery to the touch.

"what!"

Village Chief Mikami screamed in agony; the feeling of the sword blade brushing against his scalp made him feel like he was about to die.

He scrambled to his feet in a panic and then rushed outside without a care in the world.

Everyone was stunned by this scene. They couldn't believe it! Using a longsword to shave someone's head—the control was terrifying.

While everyone was still in a daze, Kinoshita Goro walked in.

"What the village chief was doing just now was..."

Miyazaki Yu sneered, "It's very simple. The village chief just threatened everyone, so I changed his hairstyle a little to get his brain, which was blinded by gold, back to normal."

"Huh? This..."

For a moment, Kinoshita Goro's mind went blank. Although he hadn't witnessed what had just happened, he had overheard some of it while hiding nearby, and combined with the situation just now, he could guess what had happened.

"Miyazaki, you really live up to your title as a kendo champion. It's unbelievable that you can do something like this with the edge of your sword."

Miyazaki Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled, "It seems Mr. Kinoshita has done his homework, as he actually knows my identity."

Kinoshita Goro hurriedly said, "Knowing all this is nothing, but now is not the time to lose your temper. The village chief is petty and holds grudges. He will definitely find a way to retaliate when he gets back. How about this, I will arrange a small boat tomorrow morning so that everyone can leave safely?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he was startled, as everyone looked at him with scrutinizing eyes.

Kogoro Mouri said calmly, "Mr. Kinoshita, you don't need to worry about that. I'm determined to find this attempted murderer. I won't rest until I do!"

As they watched his departing figure, everyone's gazes deepened.

"I never expected that the person so eager for us to leave would be him!"

Kogoro Mouri said incredulously.

Rena was also surprised and said, "So, according to Miyazaki-nii's previous speculation, this person is very likely to be the murderer? That's too incredible. I always thought he was a good person."

Haibara, standing to the side, shook her head and said, "Rena-neechan, in this world, whether someone is a good person or not cannot be judged by their appearance. Perhaps this person is the murderer."

Miyazaki Yu chuckled and said, "There's no need for everyone to guess anymore. Tonight I'll be patrolling the village, focusing on Kinoshita Goro, to see what he's up to. I'm sure I'll make some interesting discoveries."

Everyone felt relieved after hearing this.

Kogoro Mouri, in particular, went up and patted him on the shoulder.

"It's so good to have you by my side. You're practically my Watson. Even a Sherlock Holmes like me would be quite troubled without an assistant like you."

These words earned Conan rolling his eyes, as if his idol had been tarnished.

He couldn't help but shout in his heart, "Hey, who do you think you are, Sherlock Holmes? You're all relying on me!"

However, I also felt a sense of relief.

"Although Miyazaki Yu is strong and domineering, his combat power is terrifying. If he personally keeps watch on him, the other party will not have any chance to make any underhanded moves."

However, what they didn't know was that after Miyazaki Yu left his residence, he quickly ran in one direction, following the island map he had secretly examined earlier.

He was incredibly fast, much faster than a car. He took a shortcut, easily navigating through all sorts of jungles and thorns, without even getting a speck of dust on his body. Like a nimble cat, he swiftly passed through all the obstacles and arrived at the entrance of a dark cave.

"This is it!"

He glanced into the cave, where a mournful wail echoed, like the wailing of a vengeful ghost.

He didn't care at all; he knew the caves were interconnected, and the sea breeze passing through the narrow gaps created the sound.

It was precisely because of this sound, coupled with the legends of the navy, that this place became a forbidden zone. No one dared to wander around here, making it the most secluded place and a good place to hide secrets.

He quickly passed through the cave and, just as he remembered, found an offering table. He lightly leaped over the table and landed on the downward-facing steps.

"If my memory serves me right, these bricks are the gold."

As he spoke, he reached out and picked up a brick. Sure enough, it was very heavy. He tapped it, and the soil on the brick crumbled off, revealing a glimmer of golden light in the dim light.

Holding the heavy gold in his hand, Miyazaki Yu felt a strange sense of satisfaction, which stirred his heart.

"Sure enough, it feels amazing to have so much gold in my hands. No wonder so many people are so eager for gold. Now I'm going to transfer it all!"

He quickly gathered all the gold bricks together and reached the cave entrance, from which he could see the waves and exposed rocks.

"An earthquake will strike here tomorrow, destroying everything. I just need to move the gold nuggets somewhere else, and then there will be no way to prove it. Hmm, let's do it this way!"
