The Advent of the Infinite King

"No need." Yasuo Uehara walked up the boat ladder, "It's quicker for me to look around by myself."

Watching him walk into the cabin unceremoniously, Mikami Takeo showed dissatisfaction.

Xie Chen also approached the ship, looked at it for a while, and said, "This ship has been sunk on the bottom of the sea for several years, but there is no rust on this ship except the bottom."

"Stupid," Mori Kogoro said, "That's why it's called a ghost ship."

"This is too unscientific..." Xie Chen muttered softly.

At the same time, on the hillside near the lighthouse, a man with long hair was watching them with a telescope.

Afterwards, Mikami Takeo took them to the village commune, where a plaque welcoming the famous detective Mori Kogoro was also hung on the commune. He had already asked people to prepare a rich lunch and expensive drinks here.

After everyone was seated, Mikami Takeo poured wine for Mori Kogoro and said with a smile: "Mr. Mori, there is still a little time before the speech starts, let's have a drink first."

"Thank you then." Mori Kogoro drank it down without hesitation, "It tastes really good."

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Takeo Mikami approached Mori Kogoro and asked, "I said, Mr. Mori, after your speech, I have something that I must borrow your wisdom for."

Although Kogoro Mori was a little drunk, he still said clearly: "You hope I can help you find the place where the Ryujin sank, right?"

"As expected of a detective..."

Takeo Mikami rubbed his head and smiled, "However, according to my opinion, the Dragon God should have sunk around this small island. As long as you know the location, you can find those missing gold nuggets."

Mori Kogoro reminded: "But even if those gold nuggets are really found, they should not belong to you, because those gold nuggets must be collected as national property."

After speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, this was already the fifth glass.

Mikami Takeo rubbed his hands and said, "But our small island still has the right to get [-]% of the benefits, right?"

"Maybe so." Mori Kogoro murmured.

"I'll leave this to you, Mr. Mori." Takeo Mikami poured Kogoro Mori another glass.

Mori Kogoro gulped it down, and then said decisively: "No, I refuse! How can I, a famous detective in the world, do this kind of treasure hunting work."

"How about if your reward is one-tenth of this small island." Takeo Mikami showed a fox-like smile.

"I'm very happy." Upon hearing the increase in salary, Mori Kogoro changed his attitude immediately, regardless of whether he was a famous detective or not. "

"Thank you for that." The two clasped their hands tightly, as if making some kind of underground transaction, Xie Chen and Mao Lilan sighed at the same time.

"Kinoshita." Mikami Takeo turned to Kinoshita Goro and said, "Please explain to Mr. Mori."

"Yes." Kinoshita Goro nodded, "It happened on a typhoon night seven years ago. On the coast one kilometer away from the island, the Ryujin kept sending out distress signals because of a problem with the hull."

He took a sip of tea and continued: "But when we were going to rescue at sea, the distress signal was suddenly cut off, and the next morning, only the remains of the ship were found on the coast."

He sighed, "That's the way it is, don't talk about gold nuggets, we haven't even found a single flotsam."

Mori Kogoro asked: "Then who are the owners of those gold nuggets?"

Kinoshita Goro replied: "It belonged to the dead ship owner. He was about to be arrested for tax evasion, so he exchanged all his property for gold nuggets. He was planning to flee abroad on the night of the typhoon."

"So that's how it is." Kogoro Mori patted his chest and said, "I understand, there is no problem. I, Kogoro Mori, will definitely find out where the gold nuggets are located on this small island."

Mikami Takeo was overjoyed: "Then ask Mr. Mori for more help."

After the meal, Kogoro Mori prepared to give a speech, and the villagers on Shiki Island were fascinated by the stories of Kogoro Mori in the past.

At this time, many villagers gathered outside the village mansion to listen to the famous detective's speech. Some of them didn't even eat lunch, so they ran here to wait for the speech to start.

Standing at the gate of the public hall, Xie Chen sighed silently, "There will be no problem with the speech...it won't embarrass us in the end..."

There is still some time before the speech can start. At the very least, Kogoro Mori must sober up first.

Xie Chen walked to a warehouse-like room next to the public hall. The door plate of the room said Naval Archives, so he opened the door and entered.

The room was spotless, with ship models on the table on the left and the general's armor on the right.

Kinoshita Goro also came in at this time, and said with a smile, "It's very interesting, isn't it?"

"Yes." Xie Chen said, "There are a lot of weird things here."

Kinoshita Goro said: "Yes, these are the precious cultural properties of this small island."

He looked at the naval battle map hanging on the wall and said: "About four hundred years ago, the navy that was defeated in a battle finally fled to this small island."

"I didn't expect that the residents of this island would be blinded by the rewards offered by the enemy for their heads, and would attack these wounded navy."

"In the end, they were chased into a cave on the side of this small island. I heard that it would be best to kill them all. Since then, unknown things have happened one after another on this small island. Xie Chen asked: "Because the King of the Navy Will it cause trouble? "

Kinoshita Goro nodded and said, "Yes, so we placed a god in the cave, hoping to appease the souls of these navy men."

Xie Chen said with a smile: "But these statements are all just superstition."

"No." Kinoshita Goro shook his head, "Not exactly, it's not completely superstitious now, because many people in the forest have seen those navy ghosts in armor appearing in the woods."

Xie Chen stared at Kinoshita Goro, waiting for him to continue.

"And one often hears a chilling wail from that naval cave."

Kinoshita Goro raised his head slightly and continued, "I remember that about five years ago, a group of university professors who specialized in navy came to this island to do research."

"They didn't ask the residents of the island beforehand, so they went directly to the navy's cave to investigate, but one night two or three days later, a warrior in armor suddenly appeared."
