Kexue Magician

Chapter 275 Despicable stranger
It took only 3 minutes for Shikishima ambulance personnel to arrive at the village office, but at this time Yasuo Uehara's heart had stopped beating and his blood was flowing all over the ground. After some rescue efforts, he still failed to save him.

"With the extensive trauma to the heart, with current medical conditions and technology, even if we arrive two minutes earlier, I'm afraid we won't be able to save it."

The middle-aged doctor at Shikishima Hospital said regretfully, and looked at the village chief Takeo Mikami.

Village head Takeo Mikami asked the doctor to carry Yasuo Uehara's body to the hospital morgue, and at the same time found the Shikishima Koban police, asking the police to inquire about Yasuo Uehara's relatives and let them decide whether to autopsy or directly cremate.

"Mr. Mori, may I ask if Uehara Yasuo had any festivals with you before his death?"

A Shikishima policeman who stayed in the conference hall asked about the situation at the time of the incident, and asked with a pen and notepad.

Mori Kogoro looked solemn, and replied after a while of contemplation: "No, I have never spoken to him. The first time I saw him was probably on the deck of the ferry that came to Shikishima. At that time, he seemed to hear my name. I was so scared that I dropped the camera in my hand.”

"Since I came to the island, I have been with Mr. Mikami and have never had any conflicts with him."

The Shikishima policeman wondered: "It's strange, then why did he attack you, Mr. Mori? Even if it fails, there is no need to commit suicide, right?"

Mori Kogoro was also extremely puzzled.

Intimidated by the name?Like a thief panicking when he hears the police coming?Judy Stein paid attention to the expressions of Mao Lilan and others.

"Navy! It's the ghost of the navy!"

A Shikishima villager whose skin was sun-tanned wheat-colored said in horror, his words caused commotion among many villagers.

"Then Yasuo Uehara didn't know where he went after watching the Dragon God. I suspect that he broke into the Navy Cave privately and did something that offended the Navy Ghost, which made the Navy Ghost angry and asked him to commit suicide to apologize."

"Yes, it must be so!"

"These despicable outsiders must be their fault!"

"Get rid of the strangers! Drive away the strangers!"

A dozen Shikishima villagers shouted loudly with flushed faces, and looked at the tourists beside them with hatred from time to time, as if they were about to throw their fists at each other in the next moment, scaring the tourists away.

Many tourists left the conference hall with unhappy faces, fearing that they would suffer disaster.

Mori Kogoro was stunned, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Mikami, didn't you say that all the villagers would cooperate with the revitalization of Shikishima's economy? But judging from the current situation, what you said seems to be inconsistent with the facts."

How can it be possible to get 100% support? It is impossible to think about it!Feng Chu shook his head.

Mikami Takeo said with a slightly embarrassed face: "Most villagers in the village support the development of Shikishima's tourism industry, but a small number of villagers have always disagreed. As the village head, I naturally want to protect the interests of most people."

"The minority advocates harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and a simple life. They believe that they can support themselves and their families with the money they earn from fishing at the seaside of Shikishima, and there is no need to develop tourism at all."

"The villagers of the opposition also think that the arrival of tourists from other places has disturbed their peaceful life, made everyone snobbish, destroyed the green mountains and green waters of Shikishima, and polluted the clear air of Shikishima..."

"All in all, they have been looking for ways to prevent the development and development of Shikishima's tourism industry, and I am helpless."

We are also residents of Shikishima, so we don't see each other when we look up.

Moreover, these fathers and folks still have a more or less blood relationship that cannot be ignored. Hundreds of years ago, they were still a family. Now they live together on the island. It is really not easy to deal with the conflicts that occur on weekdays.

Mikami Takeo, the village head who suffered deeply, sighed.

Mori Kogoro expressed his understanding, both of them are relatives, maybe they are not human.

"Surprised! The ghost of the navy is also an excuse they made up to prevent the development of tourism?"

Judy Sterling glanced at the villagers who were still talking about it, and seeing a trace of fear on their faces, she had some guesses in her heart, and wanted to get more key information, so she asked.

Village head Takeo Mikami and several village officials looked at each other.

"Kinoshita, it's up to you to speak." The village chief Takeo Mikami said to his assistant Kinoshita Goro.

Kinoshita Goro, with neatly combed gray hair, adjusted the handle of his glasses, and said in a low voice, "400 years ago, it was the Warring States Period. At that time, daimyo from all over the world were divided into one side and conquered endlessly."

"At that time, the navy that was defeated in the war fled to Shiki Island. The residents of the island were fascinated by the high rewards for their eyes and hearts, and launched an attack. was driven to death."

"Since then, various ominous incidents have been happening in Shikishima."

"The terrified villagers thought that it was the ghost of the navy who was responsible for their revenge. In order to appease the ghost of the navy, the villagers placed gods in the cave, and they no longer dared to enter the cave to disturb their slumber."

"I think Mr. Uehara should have entered the Navy Cave privately and offended the Navy Ghost."

At the end, Kinoshita Goro shook his head regretfully.

Ha ha, are you sure this is not a feudal superstition?Conan Ban Yueyan complained silently.

Then Conan couldn't help but said: "There can be no ghosts in the world!"

Belmode, who was among the tourists, gradually deepened his eyes, and couldn't help but look at Conan and Mao Lilan.

Navy Ghost?It seems to be real. At that time, Yasuo Uehara’s footsteps were mechanical, and then his movements were flexible. It may also be that his body was controlled by a ghost, especially when he made a strange expression with frightened eyes and a strange smile on his face.

Don't worry Xiaolan......
Conan, on the other hand, is so curious that he never seems to believe in the existence of ghosts and gods. If he goes to the Naval Cave to find out the truth, he might disturb the ghosts, and then even if I can't save him!
Belmode stared at Conan's back, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Why is this tourist staring at me?Suddenly looking back, Conan saw Belmode disguised as a tourist.

After Belmode regained consciousness, he looked away calmly.

"Oh! Navy Ghost Killer?"

"Now it's the world of science. The Japanese police shouldn't be able to use such weird reasons to close the case? Why don't we go to the Naval Cave? Maybe we can find traces of Mr. Uehara doing something after he entered the cave. "

As an FBI investigator, Judy Sterling, who is full of science, suggested.

In her eyes, although it was not an American who died, the life of a Japanese is also a life. How can the case be closed with a perfunctory excuse like a ghost!
The village head, Takeo Mikami, looked evasively. This kind of thing is not as simple as "I'd rather believe it than believe it." It really does happen.
