Kexue Magician

Chapter 280 The Mystery of the Ghost Ship

At the critical moment, Feng Chu grabbed Moori Kogoro's right hand dancing wildly like a windmill, and then pulled him back a step.

After getting out of danger, Maoli Kogoro with weak feet sat on the ground, his old face was pale, and he roared angrily after a while: "Who is so wicked to dig a trap here! Aren't you afraid of killing people?"

"Father!" Mao Lilan finally realized and exclaimed.

Feng Chu glanced at the trap with a diameter of about one meter and a depth of about 120 centimeters, then observed the soil around the trap, and said calmly: "Judging from the moisture and traces of the soil on the inner wall of the trap, this trap should have been dug out today."

"What?" The village chief, Takeo Mikami, changed his face suddenly. Could it be that the villagers who were in the opposition did it?

Mori Kogoro stood up angrily, and said extremely dissatisfied: "Mr. Mikami, if anyone falls into this trap, he will be seriously injured if he does not die. Who is hindering us from finding the sinking place of the Dragon God? You are so insane!"

Mikami Takeo smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Mori, don't be angry, I don't know who did it, we walked around Shikishima, villagers and other tourists can see it, it's hard to find out who did it... ..."

It is really difficult to check. You can use a shovel to dig a hole, but a foldable engineer shovel can also be used.

And there is no sand pile near the trap, which means that the sand has been transported to other places. The transporter can be a bucket truck or a snakeskin bag.

The engineer shovel and the snakeskin bag are easy to hide in the luggage, but judging from the stakes, it is more likely that the person who digs the trap is a villager in Shikishima, probably because that person has already found the location of the billion-yen gold nugget , I don't want Uncle Maori to continue to check.

Conan frowned, and glanced around in the distance.

"Then who will go first?" Mori Kogoro asked.

The village chief, Takeo Mikami, moved his lips and couldn't speak. He didn't want to be the cannon fodder for exploring the way, but if he didn't go ahead, Kogoro Mori might quit. What should we do?

"Find a long wooden stick. If there are any traps ahead, you can find out by poking them." Feng Chu calmly said.

The village chief Takeo Mikami nodded quickly, called someone to send a long wooden stick over, and then walked forward poking all the way. Mori Kogoro and others followed around, no longer walking around in a large area at will.

It took another hour to complete the achievement of going around Shiki Island for a week.

Mori Kogoro and Fuchu had a rough understanding of the topography of Shikishima, and then they took three yachts at the pier and started sailing along the coastline of Shikishima at an extremely slow speed.

"After a lapse of seven years, when the Dragon God was discovered, its location was here, and it was around seven o'clock in the morning."

"Before pulling the Dragon God to the shore, we sent a dozen or so villagers wearing diving gear and good water skills to search, but no gold nuggets were found at all."

"Everyone guesses that the place where Ryujin sank is not here. It probably floated to the surface of the sea at night and drifted around Shikishima with the ocean currents and winds until we found it."

The village chief Takeo Mikami said loudly.

Mori Kogoro nodded, and then took a pen and paper to calculate in the notebook.

After ten minutes.

Mori Kogoro commanded the driver to stop the yacht and shouted: "Village Chief, send two people to dive down to have a look. I think the sinking place of the Ryujin is right below here. Be sure to check carefully and don't put a single brick in it." Pass!"

Takeo Mikami happily ordered the two villagers to put on their diving equipment and go to the bottom of the sea to investigate.

Feng Chu glanced at Mori Kogoro's notebook, and couldn't help rubbing the center of his brows. He really didn't know how Uncle Maoli got the data, such as wind speed, wind direction, sea current speed and direction.

More than 30 minutes later, two villagers floated to the surface and shook their heads.

"Did I guess wrong?" Mao Li Kogoro stared at the book, touched the mustache on his mouth, and murmured.

Mikami Takeo almost died on the spot. He thought that the sleeping detective Kogoro had calculated the location of the wreck accurately based on scientific methods. He was not 90.00% sure, but there would be [-]% to [-]%. Now, after listening to it, it turned out to be Just guessing and writing!
"Ahem! Let's keep going!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mori Kogoro lowered his head and pondered again, as if he was thinking about which data to modify.

After more than 20 minutes.

Judy Sterling was shocked, pointing to the cave not far away, and asked, "Oh, is that the sea entrance of the Navy Cave?"

"Huh? When did that appear?" Mikami Takeo was puzzled.

"Let's lean over and have a look?" At Judy Stein's suggestion, the driver drove the yacht closer to the cave.

Looking up and down the environment in the cave, Judy Stein found that there were regular scratches on the stone wall above the cave. After a moment of contemplation, her eyes lit up. She had already guessed why the Dragon God was called the ghost ship the reason.

Conan also raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a confident smile.

"Village Chief, seven years ago, the Dragon God did not sink to the bottom of the sea, but was in this cave!"

Judy Stein glanced at the people around, not sure if the person who exorcised ghosts on her body last night was among the crowd. If so, the range suddenly narrowed, so she ignored the warnings of the exorcists and said bluntly.

"What? How is this possible?" Mikami Takeo asked in surprise.

Mori Kogoro stroked his chin, looked at Judy, and waited to hear what she had to say.

"Seven years ago, the Dragon God hid in the cave to avoid the typhoon, but the cave entrance was covered by the soil collapse caused by the typhoon. Seven years later, the soil at the cave entrance sank, and the Dragon God floated out of the cave."

"The evidence is that there are traces of the railing of the Dragon God on the stone wall above the cave, and only the bottom of the Dragon God is rusted."

Judy Stein pointed to the silver-white marks on the stone wall and said seriously.

Mori Kogoro suddenly opened his eyes, hit his left palm with his right fist, and then patted his head hard.

It's over, it's over, it's over now!Next, as long as I find a billion-yen gold nugget in the cave, this entrustment to me will be a complete failure. I won't get any benefit, so I can only come empty-handed and return empty-handed!

The remorseful Mori Kogoro looked extremely ugly, like a leek that had lost its vitality.

Village head Takeo Mikami blinked his eyes several times, and suddenly realized: "So that's the case, and now all the mysteries have been solved! You really deserve to be a high-achieving student from the United States. Happy education is really different!"

Mao Lilan also looked at Judy Stein with admiration.

"However, there is the Navy Cave, and the ghost of the Navy is no joke, it is terrible!"

The village head, Takeo Mikami, was very excited, and was about to direct two villagers to jump into the cave to look for gold nuggets, but when he saw the fear on the villagers' faces, and he seemed to have been poured with cold water, his fiery heart suddenly went cold.

Is it really necessary to invite priests or masters to come over to cast down demons and exterminate ghosts?
