"Hahaha! No wonder my father has never worked since he came to England!"
On the deck of the small cargo ship, the eldest young man Takahiro Tone knelt in front of the wooden boxes, holding up the gold and silver jewelry in the boxes with trembling hands, laughing loudly and looking crazy.
"With so much treasure, what kind of life would not be possible? Hey! Kurahashi!"
Suddenly turning around, Takahiro Tone shouted to the old butler Kurahashi Motoaki, who was standing respectfully by the side: "Go back and prepare quickly! There is no need to save money tonight! Use your best cooking skills to make the best dishes!"
"Yes, Master Guiyang." After nodding, Kurahashi Motoaki turned and left.
"Our eldest young master looks quite excited..."
Looking at Takahiro Tone, who was still laughing wildly, Mei Ling held her hands, leaned against the guardrail of the small cargo ship, and said with a smile.
"Well, it's no wonder. After all, we have encountered some terrible things in the past two days. Now that we have finally found the inheritance, we should really be happy... Don't you think so, Master Kazuhiko?"
When the conversation changed, Mei Ling looked meaningfully at Kitakami Kazuhiko beside her.
"I always feel like Miss Mei Ling likes to tease me about this matter..." After hearing her words, Kitakami Kazuhiko shook his head and sighed, smiling bitterly.
"After all, Master Kazuhiko, you are the only one who is still alive among the inheritance heirs designated by Eijiro Tone. I really want to know if your thoughts will change after seeing these treasures. Woolen cloth?"
"You are overthinking, Miss Mei Ling." Kazuhiko Kitakami shook his head, "My mind has never changed. No matter what, I will give up inheriting these inheritances."
"What a noble character. He is worthy of being an intellectual who can be a university teacher."
At this time, Kevin, who happened to come out of the cabin, came over, holding an opened bottle of red wine in his hand.
Judging from the packaging of the bottle, this bottle of red wine was probably produced a hundred years ago. I don’t know if drinking it will upset your stomach.
"I just don't know if your initiative to give in, university teacher, will get the murderer to spare your life..."
Walking next to Kitakami Kazuhiko, Kevin also leaned against the guardrail, holding the bottle of red wine in one hand and patting him on the shoulder with the other.
"Mr. Kevin, what do you mean?" Kitakami Kazuhiko looked at him doubtfully.
"I mean...haven't the murderers of Mr. Yang and Clyde not been found yet?"
Kevin said this, and pointed at Takahiro Tone, who was laughing excitedly in front of the pile of treasures, and Kosuke Tone, who was restrained but also very excited.
What Kevin wanted to express to Kitakami Kazuhiko was obvious. He suspected that the two brothers of the Ligen family planned and killed the other two inheritance heirs. The motive was naturally for the treasures left by his father.
And Kitakami Kazuhiko is likely to be their next target.
"Speaking of which..." Before Kazuhiko Kitakami could respond, Mei Ling followed up and said: "A person like Eijiro Tone who betrays his promises, betrays his friends, and uses all kinds of conspiracies and tricks to seize treasures, will really do something like this." The decision to completely abandon his son and leave all his inheritance to outsiders?
"Who knows?" Kevin shrugged after hearing this: "Maybe his conscience was condemned before he died? Or maybe there is a bigger conspiracy here? But no matter what, these have nothing to do with me anyway. Things..."
"Don't say that, you two."
Kitakami Kazuhiko couldn't help but interrupt the conversation between the two.
"I don't think these two young masters will be the murderers..."
"Oh? Then who do you think the murderer will be?" Kevin asked immediately.
As for his question, Kitakami Kazuhiko remained silent and did not answer.
"Hey! What are you doing?! What is that in your hand?!"
At this moment, a rude shout interrupted the conversation between the three of them. They looked up and found Takahiro Tone, who was still crazy, suddenly walking toward them menacingly.
Judging from his posture, it seemed that he was heading towards Kevin.
"Me?" Kevin pointed at his face with some confusion.
"Where did you get the red wine in your hand?!" Takahiro Tone asked loudly as he walked up to him.
"Oh, you're talking about this? Of course you got it from the cabin." Kevin shook the red wine in the bottle and said with a smile: "Although it has been more than a hundred years, it still tastes good. I would suggest When we have dinner tonight, we can bring a few bottles up..."
"Stop! How can you touch my father's inheritance at will!" Takahiro Tone shouted almost like a roar.
"……ha?"
His question made Kevin confused, and the hearty smile on his face gradually dissipated.
"It's really strange... Young Master, why do you sound like you're talking about your own affairs? If I remember correctly, you shouldn't be the heir to these inheritances, right?"
"Hmph! The inheritance has not been officially inherited yet! Two of the three original heirs have now passed away, and the remaining one plans to give up the inheritance. As my father's son, I am now naturally qualified to protect these inheritances!"
After saying these words without shame, Takahiro Tone stared at Kevin without showing any signs of weakness, and a faint smell of gunpowder gradually spread between the two of them.
"What happened?" At this moment, Bai Heqing and Mary, who heard the movement above, also walked up from the cabin and asked.
"You're here just in time, Detective."
Seeing the two of them, Mei Ling waved with a smile and said, "Come quickly, it seems like there's going to be a fight here..."
"Don't say sarcastic words at this time, Miss Mei Ling!"
Seeing this, Kitakami Kazuhiko quickly stepped forward to stand between Takahiro Tone and Kevin, and said: "You two, you..."
"Hmph, forget it."
Just as he was about to speak, Kevin raised his hand and pushed him away, stepped forward and pushed the red wine in his hand into Takahiro Tone's arms.
"elder brother!"
His strength was so great that Takahiro Tone was caught off guard and staggered back a few steps. Only with the help of Tone Kosuke did he regain his balance.
"I originally wanted to take you with me tomorrow, but now it seems... I'd better forget it!"
After waving his hand, Kevin turned around and left.
"What did you say? Why are you taking us with you?" Takahiro Tone asked loudly.
“It’s nothing, it’s just that before I came to this island, I had already made an agreement with my former brothers in the army that they would send a helicopter to pick me up and leave tomorrow.
Of course, now that you have no part in it, you two brothers can just hold these treasures on this island and wait for the rescue who doesn’t know when they will come. Maybe... you can also try to see if this ruined ship can survive. Can't drive?
Ha ha ha ha! I hope you two brothers can leave this island alive before the murderer strikes again! "
"You guy!"
"Brother! Calm down!"
