The ferry swayed with the waves, whining and steaming. Finally, after approaching Yueying Island, it slowly slowed down and docked.
Zuo Ye, who had been rubbed by Cohen for almost half an hour, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
So I’m not good at dealing with Jilaisui...
After getting off the boat, Zuo Ye took Cohen and the Maori family of three in the completely opposite direction without saying a word. Then he bought a map and started exploring the island.
Regardless of whether Conan, the god of plague and a businessman, will make his target disappear directly when he comes to this island, Zuoye still has to do what he should do to prevent unexpected events.
There were originally five informants organized on this island.
The famous pianist Aso, the former village chief Kameyama of Moon Shadow Island, the entrepreneur Kawashima, the current village chief Kuroiwa, and... the unemployed vagrant Nishimoto.
But now there are only three. Among them, Aso committed suicide twelve years ago, and Kameyama also died of a sudden illness two years ago.
In fact, strictly speaking, in the smuggling criminal network on Yueying Island, there are definitely more than just these people, but probably because these three people are the only ones who have actually come into contact with the organization, so the only ones Zuo Ye has to solve are These three people.
Zuoye adjusted the passerby hat on his head, hiding in the shadows and looking at Nishimoto's residence not far away.
If Zuo Ye really wants to take action, then the first one to be killed is naturally Nishimoto, who has the lowest sense of existence among the three people and has almost no one at home.
Because only in this way can other mission targets not notice that something is wrong in a short period of time.
Of course, even if you notice it, the outcome of the matter will not change in any way.
Zuo Ye glanced at the sun that had not set yet. Night was the best time to take action. Before that, he had to fill his stomach.
"I'm going to have dinner first, and you stay here and watch. I'll come over and change with you later."
Cohen waved his hand carelessly, indicating that there was no problem.
Then when it got dark, Zuo Ye, who squatted next to Nishimoto's house for several hours after dinner, gradually felt sleepy.
"Da da da."
A figure trotted past Zuo Ye, then turned back a few seconds later and stood in front of Zuo Ye.
"?"
Zuo Ye slowly raised his head and looked at the woman standing in front of him.
She is about twenty years old, very beautiful, with a small ponytail tied on the back of her head. The most important thing is that she has a very good temperament.
The woman lowered her head and looked at Zuo Ye who was sitting on the ground. After pursed her lips for a while, she took out a crumpled ten thousand yuan bill from her pocket.
"?"
Zuo Ye couldn't help but type a question mark again, his eyes fixed on the banknotes in the opponent's hand.
What's going on? Why is someone treating me as a beggar again? ? ?
Regarding the chain reaction caused by the momentum bonus of the ghost coat, Zuo Yizhong already had a rough guess.
Different people often have different perceptions when facing the same person, which is normal.
With the blessing of the ghost coat, Zuo Ye's image in the eyes of others will be roughly divided into two types.
First, this man feels so weak, and seems to be dying soon, so pitiful.
Second, this person feels so gloomy and doesn't look like a good person. You should stay away from him.
This also verified why Zuoye was regarded as a beggar on the street before and gained a lot, and it also verified why he was regarded as a suspicious person when he was at the entrance of the kindergarten.
But the problem now is - Zuo Ye is not wearing a ghost coat now. What is this woman thinking?
There is also the effect of the passerby's hat that reduces the sense of presence. How could such an ordinary young woman see through it?
Just when Zuo Ye was confused, the woman sighed, grabbed his hand, forced the money into Zuo Ye's hand, and said with encouragement in her eyes: "Go on living well."
"???"
Zuo Ye no longer knew that he was because of this
The woman raised many question marks. Even because of the opponent's sudden movement, he almost instinctively changed the inner lining into a special attack suit, and then punched the opponent.
Still seeing that the other party had no ill intentions, Zuo Ye suppressed the impulse.
After giving Zuo Ye money and encouragement, the woman started trotting in the original direction again.
Zuo Ye watched the woman leave, curled his lips, and stuffed the money into his pocket. Forget it, if you have money, don't be a ***.
But when Zuo Ye turned his eyes to Cohen who was standing aside, he found that the boy was looking at the woman's leaving figure in a daze, his mouth almost drooling.
Zuo Ye: "..."
Although Zuo Ye still didn't quite understand why the woman wanted to give him money, he seemed to understand why he was noticed by the other party when he was in a state of low presence, and he also understood why Cohen didn't make any move just now.
In addition to being familiar and talkative, this girl is also a nymphomaniac? ? ?
Brother, you are also a core member of a criminal organization. Can you stop being so unreliable?
And as if he was gradually aware of Zuo Ye's strange gaze, Cohen finally came to his senses and coughed a few times: "Ahem, Rye, you see Nishimoto hasn't come back yet, I'm afraid something happened to this island. What's going on? Otherwise, why don't I follow you and take a look?"
You make it up, you make it up again.
Zuo Ye looked at Cohen expressionlessly, seeing that the other person was getting more and more guilty.
However, Zuo Ye then thought about it. With Conan, the God of Plague, it is not impossible that the reason Cohen fabricated could become a fact. It would be a good idea to go and find out.
Thinking of this, Zuo Ye stood up, and with his brisk steps, Cohen followed the direction in which the woman left.
…
"Kawashima is dead?"
Zuoye and Cohen arrived in front of the building with the characters "Citizen Hall" hanging on it, and then heard the news from the melon-eaters gathered at the door that one of their mission targets had died.
This is probably the case.
Today was originally a memorial service for Kameyama, who died two years ago, so most people on the island came to the public hall to pay their respects. But as a result, when it was just getting dark, Aso and his whole family had In the piano room where the arsonist committed suicide, the same piano sound as that night suddenly sounded again.
Moonlight Sonata.
When everyone followed the sound and looked for him, Kawashima was lying on the piano, soaked all over. It seemed that he had drowned alive on the beach next to the public hall.
Zuo Ye and Cohen stood behind the crowd, and the people around them were still discussing the matter with saliva.
There are only two kinds of comments made by these gossips. One is that the ghost of Aso committed suicide, and the other is that Kuroiwa, the current village chief of Yueying Island, was worried about losing his position in the village chief selection, so he The other candidate, Kawashima, was killed.
Ghost Zuoye thought it was impossible.
It's not that Zuo Ye doesn't believe this, but that the incident that happened after Detective Ke Xue landed on the island was destined to be a murder case.
Just like the haunted house imprisonment incident and the Medieval Art Museum incident that Zuo Ye was exposed to earlier.
Is Kuroiwa the only suspect currently? But if it is really him, the motive may not be as simple as the selection of the village chief.
Zuo Ye looked inside the public hall. The woman who gave him the money seemed to be the only doctor on the island. She had just completed an autopsy on the dead Kawashima.
Well, so normal doctors and forensic doctors have the same thing?
"Rye, what do we do?"
Cohen asked Leftfield.
...You, a veteran, always ask a newcomer what to do, are you really not embarrassed at all?
Zuo Ye glanced at Cohen quite speechlessly. It seemed that since they first met, this guy had no opinion and always asked Zuo Ye first about everything.
It feels quite similar to the big guy with vodka and gin.
After touching his chin, Zuo Ye chose to say "I'll go in to check out the situation" and then found an uninhabited corner.
The passerby hat on his head turned into a knitted hat and was stuffed into his arms, and the black sweatshirt turned back into a ghost coat. As for Zuo Ye himself, he changed from the white-haired No. 2 vest Rye back to the original vest.
That's right, it's the body vest, not the real body.
This was Zuo Ye’s idea from the very beginning.
Even before the No. 2 vest, Zuo Ye had already fabricated this body, which was almost a 100% copy of his original appearance, shape, and voice.
The only change is that a hair on the back of the head has been stretched by one millimeter.
——This is because Zuo Ye couldn't fabricate a body that was 100% replica of the original body, otherwise he wouldn't even change his hair.
