"Village Chief, what happened? I almost died under the flames. You have to give me an explanation!”Maori Kogoro shouted.
The garden was sitting next to Xue Chenying and laughing secretly. Maori Kogoro's appearance was really too funny.
Takeo Mitsue knelt at the side and kowtowed profusely,""I'm really sorry, Mr. Mao Li, for you to encounter such an accident.”
"Accident?" Conan's eyes widened. This was clearly a trap that someone had deliberately arranged!”
Takeo Mitsue immediately raised his head and his expression changed."No, that's because we accidentally placed it in the gasoline can when we placed it. Coupled with the leakage of electricity, it caused this accident.”
Conan was about to say something when Xue Chenying coughed lightly. Conan turned to look at him and did not continue asking.
Soon, Takeo Mitsue left. Conan then asked in a low voice,""What do you mean?"
"Idiot, that guy obviously doesn't want to admit that it was intentional because that would be a very serious malicious injury and we have to call the police. Sanshang's plan was to find it as soon as possible and not hand it over to the government. Therefore, he absolutely did not allow the police to land on the island. In other words, it was useless to say anything.”
Maori Kogoro also heard Xue Chenying's words and immediately nodded.""That's right. I knew from the beginning that he didn't intend to hand over the gold nugget to the government.”
Xue Chenying smiled." So, Uncle pretended to agree to help him find the gold. The purpose was to lower his guard and make it easier for him to investigate in secret. Isn't that right, Uncle Mao Li?"”
Maori Kogoro immediately laughed proudly and said,""Yes, that's right. Xue Chen, the more I look at you, the more I find you more pleasing to the eye than that detective.”
Xue Chenying immediately winked at Conan.
As he spoke, Kinoshita Goro suddenly walked in and tried to persuade Maori Kogoro to leave. However, Maori Kogoro would not leave at this time, so he immediately refused sternly.
Xue Chenying looked at the coldness in Mu Xiaowulang's eyes and smiled.
When night fell, Xue Chenying found an opportunity to leave her clone behind, while her main body secretly went to the southeast of Shikishima. Then, she used her telekinesis to fly and quickly found the cave where the Dragon God was hidden.
A flight of stairs led from the cave to the so-called Navy Cave, and what formed this flight of stairs was a gold ingot worth one billion dollars!
I'm rich, I'm rich!
Xue Chenying used her telekinesis to quickly clean up the gold and put it into her storage ring.
After storing all the gold into her storage ring, Xue Chenying returned to her residence under the cover of the darkness. After recalling her clone, she hugged the garden and continued to sleep.
Next door, Conan, that little brat, had already run off to God knows where.
Not long after, a black figure in ancient navy armor appeared outside the door of Maori Kogoro's room. He silently entered the room and gently kicked Maori Kogoro awake.
It was only after Maori Kogoro woke up that he swung his sword down. It was obvious that he did not really want to kill Maori Kogoro.
Maori Kogoro screamed. Xue Chenying quickly got up and went to the door. She saw a black shadow in navy armor rushing out from inside and immediately kicked it without hesitation.
The armored figure was instantly kicked away.
This kick was not light. The black shadow was sent flying a few meters and fell to the ground. It struggled on the ground but could not get up.
Maori Kogoro had also caught up to the black shadow. He grabbed the black shadow and pulled off his helmet."Mr. Kinoshita, how could it be you!？”
Soon, the villagers were woken up and gathered. They were all very surprised to see Kinoshita Goro in navy armor.
When he heard that he had tried to attack Maori Kogoro, he was even more shocked.
"Mr. Kinoshita, I guess you attacked me because you wanted me to leave today, right? That's why you kicked me awake after you went in, then you swung your blade down. Otherwise, if you came in and killed me directly, I might not even know how I died.”
" That's right. Detective Maori, you were attacked during the day, but you refused to leave when I advised you to. I was afraid that you would be attacked again, so I disguised myself as a navy officer and pretended to attack you. That way, you would leave."”
Xue Chenying didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Maori Kogoro was trying to find an excuse for Kinoshita Goro to get away with it.
The villagers nodded and believed him.
Xue Chenying was about to give up on Maori Kogoro. He came to the side of the knife and said in surprise,"Hey, there's blood on the blade!”
Goro Kinoshita's expression changed drastically as he stared at Xue Chenying with hatred.
Maori Kogoro was not too stupid. He picked up the knife and looked at it carefully. His expression became very ugly."The blood on it is still very fresh. It should have been stained not long ago. Mr. Kinoshita, I think you should admit it yourself. What did you do with this knife?？”
The villagers also looked at Kinoshita Goro uneasily.
Seeing that Goro Kinoshita did not speak, Takeo Mitsue said angrily,""Do you think it's okay if you don't answer? Everyone, split up and search!"
The crowd dispersed with a loud bang, and not long after, there were exclamations.
Everyone quickly gathered around and saw two villagers carrying a body covered in wounds out of the ghost ship.
"Who died?"
"Hamada! It's the lighthouse guard, Hamada!"
"Strange, why did Kinoshita want to kill Hamada?”
Conan ran over from nowhere and was shocked when he saw Hamada being killed. He was even more surprised when he found out that the murderer was Goro Kinoshita.
Hamada had died a horrible death. There were signs of being tied up and wounds all over his body. It was obvious that he had been tortured before he died.
An electric light flashed in Conan's mind as he said cutely,""Ah, come, isn't this the uncle who guards the lighthouse? I also saw a telescope on the lighthouse.”
" I know!" Maori Kogoro shouted." Mr. Kinshita knows that Hamada is related to the Dragon God. He might be a member of the Dragon God seven years ago. He might know the whereabouts of the gold nugget." Therefore, he captured Hamada and interrogated him. After getting the information he wanted, he killed Hamada. Then, he pretended to attack me while wearing armor. His real goal was to lure me here, knock me out, and frame me for killing Hamada. It was killing two birds with one stone!”
Conan nodded repeatedly. That's right, that's it.
Takeo Mitsui ran over and grabbed Goro Kinoshita, asking,"" Where is it? Where is the gold ingot?"
"If I can't get it, no one can!" Goro laughed proudly.”
Xue Chenying immediately praised," Yes, that's right. You must have a backbone."”
Takeo Mitsue was instantly enraged and said to the villagers,""Take him away and tie him up. Without my order, no one is allowed to touch him! Remember, the future of our village depends on him. We can't let him escape!”
A few strong villagers tied up Kinoshita Goro with ropes and took him away.
It was only then that Takeo Mitsue said to Maori Kogoro,"Detective Mao Li, you've also felt it yourself. The island isn't stable right now, so it's best if you stay in your residence and don't run around. After we're done dealing with the matter under Kinoshita, we'll naturally send you off.”
