It's not that the robber gang was fighting within the gang, but it doesn't rule out the possibility. Maybe the dead maid knew someone in the gang of gangsters. Later, in order to avenge the maid, the gang of gangsters started a civil war. Situ Xiu thinks so.
However, Situ Xiu soon overturned this conclusion, because if there was a civil strife among the bandit gangs, they should all know each other, and there would be no need to come to the island to kill each other.
Unless...five years have passed and some of those robbers have changed their appearance and the other robbers no longer recognize them.
Situ Xiu fell silent and fell into deep thought.
His thoughts began to become contradictory, with many different possibilities and many different routes.
He believed it was necessary to revisit the route and simplify it from the beginning.
First of all, robbers and gangsters are a group of people, collectively called gangsters.
After stealing the golden screen, the group of gangsters hid the golden screen on the seabed near the uninhabited island. One of the gangsters came here a year ago and left a secret code, so it means that the princess sleeps in A instead of B.
Today, the cruise ship arrived at the uninhabited island pier. Among the six people, the woman Taira Ie was diving in a diving suit. Her purpose was not simple. There was a high chance of finding the golden screen hidden on the seabed. She was undoubtedly a gangster.
Then, Shimochi Takashi, who was driving the cruise ship, waited for them all to disembark and drove around the uninhabited island, probably to find the golden screen. He was undoubtedly a gangster.
Two members of the gang are exposed: Taira Ie and Shimochi Takashi.
Suddenly, Situ Xiu was stunned. He thought of a possible method of killing Xia Di Chong.
They were all deceived by the murderer. In fact, the tide was rising at that time, not ebbing.
At this time, the chat group.
Huang Rong: "I know, I know how the murderer changed his modus operandi."
Zhang Sanfeng: "I'm curious as to how those words were left behind."
Fire Cloud Evil God: "Did you do some kind of secret technique on the sand? Even if the sea water washes over the words on the ground, they will not disappear."
Huang Rong: "No, there is no trick. The murderer just used our first impression, that is, preconception. We all know that when the waves hit the sand, no matter how good the words written on the sand are, they will be washed away and restored to their original state."
Many people's eyes lit up and suddenly enlightened.
Huang Rong: "Exactly this. The murderer made us mistakenly think that it was a high tide, but it was actually the place where the cruise ship got wet after it sailed. I used to drive a large luxury ship given to me by Boomer. It traveled very fast on the sea, and it was driven to maximum horsepower. , every time it approaches the shore, a large area of sea water will be washed ashore.”
Huang Rong: "Speaking of this, you should all understand that when Xia Di Chong arrived at the pier, he drove around the uninhabited island. The waves of the sea hit the shore and wet the sand. This is what Conan and the others saw. When the victim was killed, why was there such a large wetland after high tide? In fact, it was not a high tide, but was formed by the waves hit by the cruise ship."
Situ Xiu nodded secretly. He had just recalled what Xia Di Chong had done after coming to the uninhabited island. He also thought of this. The murderer used this technique to distract everyone.
Han Li: "That's true. When Conan and the others found the victim, it should have been high tide, or it should have been the highest point of the high tide."
Han Li: "Thus, those words were preserved because the sea water could not reach them. If we follow this logic, any one of the five people would be suspect."
Fire Cloud Evil God: "My head hurts, it hurts so much, it hurts, I can't think anymore, I'm about to explode, it's too difficult, I'm in too much trouble."
Everyone: "......".
Fire Cloud Evil God: "I ask the group leader to give me a smart brain. The requirements are not high, just the same IQ as Huang Rong."
Huang Rong: "......".
Situ Xiu: "......".
Zhong Shan: "Let me make a bold guess. The maid was killed by a gangster five years ago, and the maid's relatives came to avenge him. Then Shimochi Chong was the gangster, but how did he know that the gangster was Shimochi Chong? From the current point of view There is no clue to prove it because Shimochi Takashi never spoke."
Ye Fan: "Zhong Shan, you are wrong. Just because he doesn't speak doesn't mean he is not suspicious. Think carefully about what Xia Di Chong did. Five years ago, gangsters robbed the gold screen from the chief's house in Jincheng Town, as well as the code princess. Sleeping at the bottom of the ocean."
Zhong Shan was stunned.
Situ Xiu secretly gave a thumbs up and analyzed it backwards. He could guess it without even trying to figure out the meaning of the code.
Yue Buqun: "The princess in the code should refer to the golden screen. It used to sleep on the bottom of the sea, but now I don't know where it is."
Fire Cloud Evil God: "Is there anything suspicious about Xia Di Chong? Didn't he say nothing?"
Lucy: "I don't understand what you are talking about."
Nami: "Passing by looking confused."
Mermaid Shanshan: "Can anyone explain in detail what is the problem?"
The problem is too big!
Zhong Shan took a deep breath. After Ye Fan's guidance, he already understood that the murderer had already planned this murder. Even if he didn't know who the criminal was or how many criminals there were, he could still tell who the criminal was.
Because of the golden screen, the secret princess sleeps in A instead of B.
The murderer must have unlocked the code and analyzed the content of the code to find out that the golden screen had been moved near the seabed of the uninhabited island. He then judged that the gangsters would come back to look for it, so this time the murderer discovered that the captain was driving a cruise ship to the uninhabited island. Surrounded by human islands, it was determined that Xia Di Chong was a gangster.
Many people have already analyzed it in their minds, but they just don't know who the murderer is, what A is, and where the golden screen is.
Situ Xiu had previously analyzed that someone had been to the forest and touched the sealed box from the traces of turning over weeds, and he was most likely the murderer, but now he was confused.
Because the murderer used secret codes to identify the criminals, he should have already known where the box was, so why did he need to look again.
Unless it’s not the murderer!
He felt like he was missing something.
After carefully recalling what happened on the island, Situ Xiu suddenly understood.
Taro Urashima!
It was not the murderer who turned over the box of the wooden boat, but the murderer who directed the gangsters to go there and flip the wooden boat to determine who the gangster was.
To put it simply, based on Taro Urashima's prompt, the ship that told others to seal the box had been moved to the forest.
It was after that person's prompt that Situ Xiu analyzed the secret code and found out that the princess had gone to the forest.
The people in the group are analyzing the location of Person A. They feel that as long as they analyze the code, they can know who the murderer is.
First!
Could it be that thing?
Patron Patriarch.
Meng Hao slapped his head violently. Why did he think of that old turtle, the guy who had tricked him many times? Was it because the uninhabited island looked like that old turtle?
I don’t know where that old turtle went with Zhao Guo on his back, and he has been avoiding him for so long.
Meng Hao came back to his senses and already understood what A refers to, the shell of a tortoise, and the meaning of tortoise shell.
The turtle shell on that old guy's back... turtle shell.
The patron ancestor finally did a good deed.
Meng Hao: "Group leader, I want to reason."
Fire Cloud Evil God: "What happened, you already know the murderer."
Zhong Shan: "Do you know where the princess is?"
Ye Fan: "What is A?"
Some of the others were confused, some frowned, and some sighed.
One step too late, Huang Rong felt a headache. Just a second later, she planned to reason.
Situ Xiu went through a process, and Meng Hao began to reason.
Meng Hao: "A refers to the turtle shell. The turtle shell is also the uninhabited island, because it looks like a big turtle, and the forest on its back is like a turtle shell. In other words, the princess moved from the bottom of the sea to the forest."
Meng Hao: "A year ago, one of the gangsters came to the island and wrote down a code. The murderer unintentionally unlocked the code and set up this murder. Although he didn't know who the gangsters were, the murderer kept reminding them of the code. , let the gangster guess where the princess went."
menu Shimataro, reminds people that the murderer is Mikihiko Daito."
Situ Xiu nodded secretly. He also guessed this. Mikihiko Daito told Urashima Taro, so the one who stirred the weeds must be the gangster who figured out the code. He just didn't understand why the gangster didn't die.
It stands to reason that the murderer has already led the gangsters to the sealed box, and he should not let go of that opportunity.
But the last person to die was Shimochi Takashi who didn't hear Urashima Taro, which made him very confused.
Fire Cloud Evil God: "The murderer is Daito Mikihiko, I really can't tell."
Meng Hao: "I don't know if the gangster guessed the hint given by Daito Mikihiko, but I can analyze the method he used to kill Shimochi Takashi."
Meng Hao: "Daito Mikihiko confirmed early on that Shimochi Chong was one of the gangsters. He lured Shimochi Chong to the back of the island with the secret of knowing the password, and then killed him. He wrote down that I am the messenger of Gusuo to divert everyone's attention. , Huang Rong’s modus operandi has been discussed before, so I won’t go into it here.”
Meng Hao: "There is currently no evidence to prove that Mikihiko Daito did it, but the murderer must be him. As long as the murder weapon is found, it can be proved. And Mikihiko Daito will kill people next. He must already know another gangster. He's waiting for an opportunity, that's my reasoning, group leader."
Situ Xiu: "Meng Hao's reasoning counts as one. Others who have different reasoning can directly reason. The final result will be calculated according to the Conan world."
Many people had already analyzed that Mikihiko Daito was the murderer, but they were just a step behind Meng Hao, and they all dived in with tacit understanding.
........
As night fell, three candles lit a weak fire in the old house on the island. When Director Taketomi said that Koso was possessed, the three women, Ran, Kazuha, and Koizumi Anko, swallowed their saliva, feeling a sense of panic. heart.
Although Koizumi Anko can do magic and hears a lot of strange things, she is only a 17-year-old girl and can be scared.
"If you are afraid of Gusuo's messenger, use this knife."
Mikihiko Daito took out a knife and stuck it on the table, and then said calmly: "According to ancient legends, women would bite the knife in their mouths in order to fear that Mabuyi would be sucked out of their mouths."
The three women looked at the knife without saying a word, their faces full of horror. They just wanted to go home.
Situ Xiu glanced at Daito Mikihiko. He didn't know what the murderer would plan next, but he had a bold idea in his heart.
Mikihiko Daito was not idle. He walked around the house, looking through the drawers and cabinets, and found a teacup filled with finished cigarette butts.
"Look at this teacup, someone is using it as an ashtray."
"This shows that someone came to the uninhabited island before us."
Hattori Heiji took the tea cup, looked at it carefully, and came to the conclusion that there were people on the island besides them.
"Would the murderer sail away in a boat and then quietly come back and sneak into the house?"
Worried about the presence of the murderer in the house, the group of people divided into two teams and searched the first and second floors of the house respectively.
The house belongs to the mayor, Mr. Jincheng. It used to be a place for private leisure and vacation. It has a large internal construction space and many rooms, which are divided into the first and second floors.
Situ Xiu reminded the Dark Demon to pay attention to Daito Mikihiko, and then followed Hattori Heiji, Director Taketomi, Conan, and the three women to the first floor. The remaining four staff members were Taira Ie, Kume Yoshitsugi, Ikema Noburo, and Daito Mikihiko. Go to the second floor.
Taira Ie glanced at Noburo Ikema and Mikihiko Daito, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and he quickly returned to calm.
After the group separated, Hattori Heiji and the others saw many photos of the mayor's house in the room on the first floor, including photos of Miss Kodori and the mayor and his wife. There were also some writings engraved on the pillars in the room.
Brother Chiyo!
Mother!
I!
Mom's room!
There were various graphics underneath the writing. Conan and Hattori Heiji were observing the writing and graphics. At that moment, a voice came.
"Kumi, where are you going?"
Everyone was stunned. Situ Xiu quickly ran from the room and came to the stairs on the first floor. He saw Noburo Ikema standing in the hall.
"What happened".
Upon hearing Situ Xiu's inquiry, Noburo Ikema replied: "I don't know either. Kumi suddenly ran down from the second floor and left the house, and Miss Taira and Mr. Daito also chased him out."
"Not good." Situ Xiu couldn't help but his face changed slightly, and he quickly ran out of the house.
If his analysis was correct, Daito Mikihiko must have done something to make Kume Yoshitsugi leave everyone.
But how did Daito Mikihiko know that Kume Yoshitsugi was also a gangster?
Conan and Hattori Heiji also ran out after listening to Noburo Ikema's words. They left the house, looked around and saw no one. After thinking for a few seconds, they randomly found a direction and ran.
Under the night sky, full of stars twinkling, a figure ran quickly in the forest. He ran for an unknown length of time, stopped under a tree, and turned over the weeds on the ground. An old wooden boat appeared.
The man looked at the small wooden boat and looked happy. He quickly opened the covering cloth and took out the sealed box inside.
At this moment, a dark shadow flashed behind the big tree, holding a rope in both hands and quietly walking towards the man. Just as he was about to put it around the man's neck, a voice came.
"Mr. Dadong, what are you going to do?"
The black shadow's body shook and the movement of his hands stopped. The man heard the sound and came to his senses. He found a rope around his neck and turned pale with fright. He immediately dropped the sealed box, squatted on the ground and crawled away.
Situ Xiu slowly walked out. The reason why he got here was because of the code prompt during the day. He analyzed that Mikihiko Daito would definitely lead the gangsters to find the sealed box again, and then wait for an opportunity to kill him.
"Brother Chiyo!" A clear voice came, and Ie Taira walked over from a distance.
Mikihiko Daito had a look of horror on his face. Only a few close people knew this nickname. How did Ie Taira know about it.
Situ Xiu frowned slightly. It looked like the murderer and the gangster knew each other. What was going on?
"Are you Miss Xiaodu?"
Dadong Mikihiko said with shock and disbelief.
Miss Xiaodu!
Situ Xiu was slightly startled. In the photo in the room just now, Miss Xiaodu was dressed very quietly, her hair was not dyed, and her skin tone was normal and fair.
And Taira Ie has dyed hair, a toned, wheat-colored complexion, and strong muscles. She doesn't look like a lady at all.
etc!
Miss Xiaodu was not kidnapped by gangsters to blackmail the mayor, Mr. Jincheng, so why did she become a gangster?
Direct and act by yourself?
Situ Xiu was confused.
The rope used to strangle Shimochi Takashi was in the hands of Mikihiko Daito, and the evidence is conclusive.
It turns out that 5 years ago, due to the death of Miss Xiaodu's mother, she directed and acted in a kidnapping case in order to test whether Mayor Jincheng, who was not her biological father, would love her. As a result, Mayor Jincheng refused to pay the ransom.
In a fit of anger, Miss Xiaodu planned a robbery and stole the golden screen, a precious item belonging to the mayor of Jincheng Town.
The plan failed to keep up with the change. On the way, a gangster killed a maid, who was the fiancée of Daito Mikihiko, who was the housekeeper of the head of Jincheng Town.
Mikihiko Daito saw with his own eyes that the gangster who killed his fiancée was Takashi Shimochi, so he killed Takashi Shimochi and whipped his body.
Originally, the first person Daito Mikihiko wanted to kill was Taira Ie. He did not know that the other person was Miss Xiaodu. Later, Situ Xiu and Koizumi Anko accidentally passed by that road and the murder failed, so he had to be replaced by Shimochi Takashi.
Situ Xiu: "......".
After killing the first gangster, Mikihiko Daito was worried that the other gangsters would leave the uninhabited island and have no chance of revenge, so he let the cruise ship leave on autopilot.
Next, in the old house, Mikihiko Daito knew that after he missed killing Ie Taira, he couldn't do it again, so he changed his method to remind another gangster in a coded way.
Between Kume Yoshitsugi and Ikema Noburo, Daito Mikihiko didn't know who it was until Kume Yoshitsugi ran out of the house, exposed his identity as the gangster, and went crazy to find the sealed box.
After Shimochi Takashi's death, Taira Ie had already become suspicious of Daito Mikihiko, so after Kumeyoshi ran out of the house, she also ran to the sealed box.
After Situ Xiu learned the whole story, he really didn't expect it to end like this.
.......
the next day.
Mouri Kogoro took a cruise ship to the uninhabited island to pick up Situ Xiu and his party back to Okinawa. Since the case had been solved, the program team changed it to a showdown between famous detectives and the Big Eater.
Hattori Heiji ate noodles with a displeased look on his face, while Mori Kogoro devoured 16 bowls in a row, boasting that Haikou finally won.
"It's so boring." Conan curled his lips, then glanced at Situ Xiu and said, "I've heard it all. You already knew the code. Yesterday afternoon, you deliberately pretended not to know. Did you want to laugh at Hattori and me?"
"Absolutely not." Situ Xiu shook his head, then blinked and laughed, "I don't take you seriously at all, haha...".
"The soul is weak." Conan's mouth twitched twice. The kid is getting more and more arrogant now, which is really annoying.
They were used to Situ Xiu solving cases and were distressed. They were also desperate about what they could do.
