"What, an anchor?"

"Yes, this is indeed an anchor whose chain has been broken and is covered with rust."

Hattori Heiji nodded, sure that what he saw on the seabed was a rusty anchor.

Maori Ran said:"Could it be left by the person who died here a year ago?"

"It must be! Yuan Shan and Ye, who were sitting next to Mao Lilan, immediately agreed:"He must have taken a boat to drift to this island first. He originally wanted to hide in this house until the typhoon passed, but who knew that the chain was broken and the boat was destroyed?" It must have been blown away by the typhoon, that's for sure"

"No, no! Hattori

Heiji shook his head slightly and said:"The anchor I saw was covered with shells and grass. It has been sinking there for at least four or five years.""

"Four or five years?"

Hearing this, Noburo Ikema couldn't help but look at Kume Yoshitsugi and said:"That matches the time of that incident quite well. It was at that time that those things happened in succession at the mayor's house."

"yes..."

Kume Yoshitsugi responded somewhat unnaturally.

"What are you talking about? Conan asked aloud. He had a feeling that what happened four or five years ago was related to the case that happened today.

"It was five years ago that the mayor's only daughter, Miss Xiaodu, was suddenly kidnapped. And a year later, another bandit group broke into the mayor's house and stole their family heirloom, the golden screen. According to the housekeeper who received the call from the gangsters at the mayor's house, the kidnappers and robbers a year ago were all the same group."Noburo Ikema paused here.

"and after? What happened next?

Kume Yoshitsugi spoke up:"Back then, the mayor decided to spend the ransom on the mayor's daughter and the ransom on the golden screen, so no one was caught. But since then, there has been no news about the mayor’s daughter or Jin Pingfeng."

"Even if he is the mayor, there is nothing he can do."

Taketomi Masao took over and said:"When the kidnapping happened, the mayor's wife happened to pass away not long ago, and a maid in the family happened to be killed by a robber. The housekeeper quit his job there because he was afraid of trouble. The mayor It was also rumored that he was so stingy that he was not even willing to pay the ransom for his daughter's life.

Feili said:"In that case, the mayor's daughter should have been killed by the kidnappers?""

Ikejian Noburo said:"I haven't seen the body of the mayor's daughter yet, but after so many years, everyone thinks she has been killed."

Hearing this, Takada Shinichi's vague memory came back. There was such a case in his memory, but he didn't remember it deeply. Now that he has heard so much, he has remembered it a little. If he remembers it correctly. , the dead Ie Taira was the daughter of the mayor. She was killed in revenge by the fiancé of the maid who was raped to death. His eyes swept over the bodies of Masao Taketomi, Mikihiko Daito, Yoshitsugi Kume and Noburo Ikema. Shinichi Takada was still It was impossible to determine which of them was the murderer. Actually, he didn't know the age of the maid at that time. She might have been in her twenties or in her thirties, so all four of them had that maid's fiancé.

"Oh? Now it’s interesting."

Daito Mikihiko, who lit a cigarette and smoked, took out a small bowl from the cupboard, put it on the table and said,"Look here, someone once used this tea cup as an ashtray. There are cigarettes of all brands inside, and the water left at the bottom of the cup to help extinguish the fire has not yet dried up...."

"In other words, before we even came to the island, a group of unidentified guys gathered here to engage in unknown activities."Hattori Heiji took the teacup with a towel and looked at it carefully.

"Well, I think there may be more than one of them."

Daito Mikihiko walked to the door, opened the kitchen door, and continued:"They killed a woman and are still hiding on this island. They are really the messengers of the underworld."

"Hey hey! Stop talking nonsense, okay?"

Noburo Ikema said angrily, Mikihiko Daito's words were a little too permeable.

"Hum hum..."

Mikihiko Daito hummed and was about to say something

"Okay, there are girls here, don't say that again. Feili interrupted, not allowing Mikihiko Oto to continue, and turned to Takada:"Takada, we will probably not be able to go back tonight. We have to stay on this island for the night, and now we are here." It’s dinner time and you happened to catch some seafood. Let’s eat seafood tonight."

"How can I do it if there are no tools here? Kume

Yoshitsugi looked at the kitchen. I'm afraid there will be nothing here except the bowls in the cupboard.

Feilili said:"You guys can go out together to collect some dry firewood and come back for the barbecue."

Mao Lilan said worriedly:"Mom, is this too dangerous?" Those murderers are still on this island."

"Just don’t take too many risks. It doesn’t matter if you don’t eat a meal anyway."

Toyama Kazuha nodded in agreement. She didn't want Shinichi Takada to take risks, nor did she want anything to happen to Hattori Heiji. Although she no longer had love for Hattori Heiji, they had grown up together after all. She regarded Hattori Heiji as a good friend, of course. I don't want anything to happen to him.

Takada Shinichi stood up and said,"Just leave it to me to collect the firewood. You just stay in this house and check the house again." Hattori

Heiji stood up and said,"It's too dangerous to go alone. It's better for me to go with you.""

Takada Shinichi was about to say something, but Daito Mikihiko took out a knife and said,"I'd better go with you. I happened to have a weapon for self-defense."

"Then let me go with Mr. Dadong."

Takada Shinichi agreed. In fact, he wanted to go alone. After all, it was more convenient to be alone.

At that moment, Takada Shinichi borrowed a watch from Conan, and left with Daito Mikihiko amidst the warnings of several women, and walked out of the dilapidated hut.

After picking up When drying firewood, Shinichi Takada found that Mikihiko Daito was very proactive and led the way. This had to make Shinichi Takada think more, because in this case, the direction was chosen by Mikihiko Daito. If Mikihiko Daito If you are intentional, you can prevent Shinichi Takada from seeing what Mikihiko Daito doesn't want him to see.

Of course, it is possible that Shinichi Takada is overthinking all this, but anyway, there is a mirror clone, so Shinichi Takada immediately made the mirror clone invisible I went to look in other directions. Whatever I could find was the best. It didn’t matter if I couldn’t find it. There was no loss.

After a while, the mirror clone was discovered. The ship that everyone came on was driving unmanned on the sea. The captain went down to worship. He was hanged by the side of the boat, with blood on his forehead. He had obviously been hit several times and looked very scary._To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
