Conan light and dark

Chapter 15

Embarrassment and the like are only temporary, no matter what, life will always go on.

Four Seasons doesn't have much time to think about the matters of men and women. When entering this line of work, one always has to give up a lot of things.

These days, I am collecting information on relevant companies, mainly companies that have technologies that are useful to the organization. Ordinary companies are not of much use.

However, the fancy companies can't just move around, after all, it's about the core technology, and these people are still very strict.

Another issue is funding. Four Seasons doesn't have much funding right now, so everything depends on the organization.

However, the organization seems to be a bit short of funds recently, and it hasn't been able to provide much for Four Seasons for a while.

But on this day, Four Seasons received a message from Calvados.

"It is reported that on a stormy night two days ago, a ship Ryujin, which disappeared seven years ago and contained gold equivalent to one billion yen, appeared on a small island called Shikishima. We have reason to suspect that The gold is also somewhere on the island, so please go to investigate and find it, and use it as your activity funds after you find it. Above, I wish you good luck. ——Calvados.”

"Gold, it seems a bit familiar..."

Siji stroked his chin, since it felt familiar, it should be part of the plot.

"So, uncle and the others will pass by?"

If Mori Kogoro and the others also go there, things may become a little more complicated.

But recently, that guy Conan seems to be getting together with Hattori Heiji.

Speaking of it, Hattori Heiji seems to be considered a master, and it seems that he is practicing Japanese kendo.

If you have time, maybe you can go over and compete with him to see how it is different from the few Japanese kendo masters you met before.

Speaking of which, the organization has quite a few enemies.

"But these are not important, the important thing is to find gold!"

The gold equivalent to one billion yen, roughly estimated, must be at least [-] kilograms, which is really a lot when you think about it.

"Let's get ready first."

……

It is said to be preparations, but in fact, it doesn't need to be too much trouble, it can be done in one go.

In the afternoon, when Yamada Today and Yamada Tomorrow came back from get out of class, Shiji directly told them that they would go out for a trip, about two days.

The two sisters didn't say much, neither did Siji.

At night, Four Seasons left directly.

In the middle of the night, I sneaked into the pier secretly, got a speedboat, first rowed far enough outside, and drove directly towards Shikishima without attracting anyone's attention.

After sailing on the sea for several hours, according to the signs on the map and the latitude and longitude locator prepared in advance, it was confirmed that Shikishima was not far ahead.

Then I drove the boat around Shikishima and observed the terrain.

The small island is not very big, most of the places are relatively high-lying, and the residents on the island live in low-lying places, and there is also a pier.

In addition, there are also some dangerous places near the sea.

Four Seasons also found a cave, and observed it a little curiously. He didn't know if there was an exit from the cave to the island, so he didn't go in.

Instead, they found a hidden place, parked the speedboat there, and sneaked into the island.

At this time, it was only four or five o'clock in the morning, and the residents on the island were basically still sleeping.

But it seems that there are still many people who have not been able to rest, but are looking for something in the forest in the back mountain, and some people are even on the road to guard.

Four Seasons doesn't suspect that he was exposed, maybe it's just something happened on the island.

He didn't pay attention to these, but quickly searched around the pier.

"Since the Dragon God ship was blown here by the wind, it should be pulled back by the residents of this island. If it is a big ship, it may stop near the pier. If it is a smaller ship, maybe will be pulled ashore..."

While thinking about it, Siji used a miniature flashlight to search near the pier.

However, no dilapidated big ship was found. Well, no matter it has been floating in the sea for six or seven years or something, the ship will definitely become dilapidated.

Based on this calculation, the ship should have been pulled ashore by the residents of the island, and it might be docked somewhere for protection.

So Four Seasons started looking for a nearby house.

Inhabited places and spaces that are not large enough are naturally excluded.

Looking at it this way, there are not many places to look for.

When the sky was slightly brighter, Four Seasons successfully found the target.

There was another person guarding a warehouse-like place, but the other person also sat there lazily and fell asleep.

Siji walked over quietly, took out a small bottle from his body, opened the lid and put it under the guard's nose, and took it back after a while.

There is a highly effective volatile hypnotic potion inside, no matter what Siji does next, the guard will not wake up.

Of course, Four Seasons will not do anything to this guard, but to check that ship.

"This is the Dragon God, it really is old enough... I'll go!"

Seeing something suddenly, Siji couldn't help cursing secretly.

"You can see dead bodies here...couldn't it be the uncle and the others coming too?"

Four Seasons has some doubts about this.

Looking at the corpse nailed to the wall by the sword, he curled his lips again, not bothering to pay attention to this, but went to the boat to check.

This ship has a direct connection to gold, and if you want to find gold, you can't help but check this ship.

Of course, the gold is not on the ship, if it is, there is no need to wait for the four seasons to find it, it has been taken away long ago.

The sky gradually brightened, and the light became more abundant.

There was still a pool of blood in the cabin, which looked relatively fresh, probably from the person who was killed outside.

Four Seasons didn't take too many measures, but checked some corners and so on.

Finally reached the top of the hull, looked around...

"Ok?"

Seeing something suddenly, Siji walked to the front guardrail and touched something on it with his hands.

"This is... moss, right? No traces of being submerged in the water were found in the cabin... It seems that the ship has not sunk. Could it be that it has been floating at sea for six or seven years? No, no, no, that's impossible! "

If it had been drifting for six or seven years, it would have been unknown where it had drifted to. Either it had gone to a farther sea, or it had been washed up on some uninhabited island, or it had been discovered long ago.

"and……"

Siji looked at the surrounding guardrails.

"This is obviously a trace of wear and tear, and it's still new..."

Thinking of this, he touched those rubbed places again, and after a long time, he withdrew his hand again, rubbing his fingers against each other.

"Although there are very few, there are still some remnants of gravel, and the ones that can grind on it..."

After thinking about it carefully, I thought of the cave I saw when I circled the island before.

It seems that there are signs of a new landslide in that cave.

"It seems likely to be there, but there is still a lot of evidence missing..."

Thinking of this, Siji checked again and found nothing more, so he left directly.

"If that ship has really been trapped in that cave for seven years, then maybe there will be people related to it on this small island..."

Siji wandered around while thinking.

If he is the one who knows that the Dragon God is in the cave, and also knows that the Dragon God is related to gold, then...

"Then you will always monitor where the ship is, avoid being discovered by others, and then slowly look for gold."

The four seasons of empathy came to such a conclusion.

But the method of being able to monitor frequently without arousing others' suspicion...

Four Seasons stopped and raised his head to look at the tall lighthouse.

Shiki, who has excellent eyesight, saw that there was a telescope on it.

This is of course nothing, but the lens of the telescope does not seem to be facing the direction of the sea, but the other side of the island.

"In that direction..."

Four Seasons turned his head to look over there.

It seems that it is the approximate direction of the cave I saw before.

"Looks like it's there!"

Four Seasons feels that this possibility is at least 80.00% correct.

So he didn't think much, 80.00% chance, enough to gamble.

So he quickly ran back to the place where the speedboat was parked before, started the speedboat, and drove towards the island.

There is nothing faster than entering directly from the cave.

However, what Shiji didn't know was that Conan also tried to enter the cave from the island, and he also discovered a lot of things.

Because of the previous storm, the cave has collapsed somewhat.

Perhaps it was precisely because of these landslides that the Dragon God floated outside with the current.

The speedboat of Four Seasons was smaller than the Dragon God, so it naturally entered the cave easily.

I took a photo with a miniature flashlight, and the four seasons were speechless.

"You can see dead people everywhere!"

On one side of the wall, a man with his mouth open, with an unbelievable expression on his face, just died there.

Fortunately, I have seen a lot of dead people, and the four seasons didn't think there was anything, but started to look for them.

Although it is not clear who knows who is here on the Dragon God, but the other party has not found gold for so long, so the place where the gold is hidden cannot be considered with common sense.

"This cave is only this big. If you want to hide gold without being easily discovered..."

Four Seasons walked slowly in the cave, took down the retractable sword, turned into a long sword, or pierced into the ground or into the wall.

But nothing special was found.

"Perhaps it's up there."

Four Seasons looked at the stair passage, which can still lead to it.

So the four seasons are ready to go up.

But after walking a few steps, he stopped immediately.

"Tch! I was almost misled!"

Thinking of this, Siji raised his hand, took the long sword and stabbed down directly.

Rock is very hard, but metal like gold is relatively soft, and when pierced into it, the feel is obviously different.

Naturally, Siji could tell this easily, bent down and picked up a brick-like thing, and looked at the place where it was stabbed.

"Sure enough!"

Four Seasons squinted his eyes, that golden color might drive many people crazy.

"Never mind him, it really doesn't take much effort!"

Thinking of this, he put away the retractable sword again, and then started to work as a porter.

Stacked one by one, relying on the strength of the four seasons, it is natural to be able to move a lot at one time.

　Everyone, all kinds of requests, please support us a lot, thank you.
