Pretend To Be a Good Person In the World of Conan

the next morning.

Amuro was awakened by a dull explosion.

He struggled to open his eyes, stared at the endless blue sky, stunned for two seconds, suddenly smelled a burning smell, and sat up.

I saw that I had been transferred to a familiar lifeboat. One end of the lifeboat was tied to the barren trees on the edge of the island, and most of it was floating in the sea.

His teammate was sitting on the bow of the boat, holding a fried fish, his eyes were blank, and he seemed to be thinking about life.

"...What are you doing?" Amuro looked at the corpse of Matsuda Shuriyu and understood why he heard the explosion just now.

However, Matsuda looked back at him and didn't explain the fish: "You are right before, there is something wrong with this island - not long after I left with you, the hotel was burned down."

"Really..." Amuro Toru is not too surprised, the closed environment is indeed easy to nourish some people with weak legal awareness.

Now it seems that the power of the local snake cannot be underestimated. Maybe Hideo Kawashima has always been making the hotel pay attention to the foreign men in black. This time they underestimate the enemy.

Amuro Toru quickly recognized that the location where the two were now was on the other side of the island.

An island that can be inhabited for a long period of time without being submerged by the sea at high tide is nowhere near that small—and the same goes for Moonshadow Island, which has some undeveloped areas on it.

They landed in this area last night.

The lifeboats are usually equipped with fresh water and food. After hearing the reminder, Matsuda will think of this place, which is also normal.

but…

"So... what were you doing just now?" Toru Amuro couldn't help but asked again.

Although Matsuda had answered this question just now, Toru Amuro really didn't understand that the burning of the hotel had anything to do with Matsuda's persecution of marine fish.

He saw Matsuda throw the fish away, pick up a stick that was used as a fishing rod, and put what might be a miniature bomb on the end of the line—Amuro had seen him blow up locks with similar bombs before.

After Matsuda fiddled with the props, he took the time to say, "You didn't say you shouldn't touch the drinking water on the island."

"..." Amuro finally understood.

Matsuda wanted to fish and serve as food, but he didn't have a good bait and hook, or simply couldn't catch it due to technical problems, so he activated the bomb.

but…

He looked down at the food on the lifeboat that Matsuda had turned out for him as breakfast, and then looked at the backpack on the boat.

- The bags have been brought out, and Matsuda's nutritional cream is definitely still there. What's the need for fishing?

After thinking about it again, Amuro suddenly realized.

Matsuda must have nothing to do in his spare time. He wanted to fish and play. He just mentioned that there was a problem with the food on the island, so he had an excuse to fry fish with confidence.

Amuro turned his head and looked at the woods, feeling that it was some distance away from the town, and no one should be able to hear the sound of the underwater explosion, so he felt a little relieved.

Then he sorted out his thoughts and felt that he couldn't just go back like this, he had to go to the island to check the situation first.

Yesterday, if you were unprepared, you will be accidentally recruited. Today, as long as you are careful enough, you can avoid danger and get the information you want.

From now on, all the inhabitants of the island must be regarded as enemies.

Shiraishi saw Toru Amuro sitting and pondering for a while, then suddenly began to search for clothes.

This man's clothes are not much less than Belmod's, and they are very different from simple gin and vodka. Maybe this is the difference between the backbone of the organization and the undercover traitor.

Shiraishi looked at himself again, very good, let's not talk about the main body for the time being, at least the vest has maintained a high degree of consistency with the leader, and is a qualified salary cheat...undercover.

After a while, Toru Amuro changed his outfit and covered it slightly with a mask and hat, which looked very different from yesterday.

Of course, the face still uses the face of Akai Shuichi, so that even if it is seen, it can avoid a lot of trouble in the future and throw the pot to FBI.

After Amuro passed through the woods and went to the island to investigate, Shiraishi found an empty mobile phone, took out the black-tech USB flash drive that had been inserted into Hideo Kawashima's mobile phone yesterday, and inserted it into the phone again.

Hideo Kawashima's mobile phone was almost burnt to slag. After all, the places where the drug dealers were staying were the hottest.

Originally, Shiraishi planned to submit the information directly.

But now, since Amuro Toru didn't doubt him, he could completely throw the blame for the medicine on the islanders. Regarding the data, a little extra operation is also required.

After the information was transferred, Shiraishi fiddled with the phone for a while, then left the ship and followed into the island.

…

Amuro Toru glanced around the island, only to realize that Matsuda's judgment was wrong - the building on fire was not the hotel where they lived yesterday, but the community activity center.

From the direction of the woods, the two buildings are indeed almost in line.

- It's very far away, it's hard to judge the distance, and since he was overturned by medicine in the hotel yesterday, Matsuda may have been misled by this incident.

At this time, it was found that the community activity center was on fire. For a moment, Amuro suspected that it had something to do with Matsuda.

But when you think about it, it doesn't feel right.

It was their job to deal with those drug dealers.

If Matsuda really took advantage of the chaos last night, he would have told himself about it just now, so that he could discuss the next plan, instead of explaining why he was fishing on the boat.

Also, if it was Matsuda who set the fire, he wouldn't mistake the hotel for the fire.

The story of the wolf coming can actually be used in reverse. People who seem to never lie, suddenly tell a lie, and it is difficult to be suspected when the evidence is not conclusive.

Besides, in Amuro's eyes, Matsuda didn't have time to put sleeping pills in the coffee can. That is to say, there is another force on the island that has malicious intentions against them. Under this premise, the suspicion of accomplices is ruled out.

In short, Amuro Toru did not expect that he was backstabbed by his teammates.

After having a rough look at the situation of the hotel, he returned to the community activity center, knocked out a firefighter nearby, put on the clothes of the unlucky passerby, and went to the fire scene to investigate.

This accident does look like an accident at first glance. The cause of the fire is the aging of the circuit.

But Amuro found that, except for a few family members of the deceased, the crowd was not very sad, and even gloated.

Looking at the names of the deceased, it can't be regarded as an accident~www.readwn.com~ Kawashima Hideo, Kuroda Tatsuji, Nishiki Ken.

These three people are exactly the goals of their trip.

Thinking of this, the image of Matsuda holding a bomb once again appeared uncontrollably in Amuro's mind.

Then he beat him with an X and firmly denied it.

After all, in addition to being their mission targets, these three people have other identities that are easy to find resentment - drug dealers on this island.

The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled can escape the fire, and it makes no sense that these three people can't run, so at that time, there must be some factor that hindered their movement and forced them to stay in the fire.

Judging from the photos of several bodies when they were found, the locations of the three were very scattered.

Although everyone has been scorched, judging from the remaining traces, there is no trace of being bound on their hands and feet.

Amuro thinks of his own experience, and a key word emerges in his mind - sleeping pills.

In addition, according to the eyewitnesses, the moment the fire started, the ritual was still going on.

At that time, there were twenty or thirty people watching in the hall, and Matsuda was not a ghost, so he couldn't break in and give medicine.

In other words, it must have been the islanders who were already in the venue.

And there were quite a few adult men in the venue. When the fire started, no one noticed the three immobile drug dealers, and no one took them out...

With the increase in intelligence, Amuro Toru gradually had conjectures.

He looked back at the crowd. Except for the three people who died, the other islanders had at most burnt their clothes and hair, or got some ashes, and did not suffer any substantial damage.

All the situations are very unreasonable, but there is one situation that can achieve the current result perfectly.

—This is an event disguised as an accident…

mass murder.
