"Village chief, if you shake it again, he'll die." The policeman who came with him gave a pertinent suggestion, "Why don't we take him back to the village office and interrogate him tomorrow."

"Indeed, I think he needs some time to recover. After being beaten like this, I think his mother wouldn't even recognize him."

Natsukawa had a great intimidating effect on Takeo Mikami. As soon as he opened his mouth, the other party immediately stopped what he was doing.

There is no way, the big fist is the last word.

When the powerful dragon comes, the local tyrants are really helpless.

In the middle of the night, Shikishima's only doctor was called out of bed, examined Hamada, and after confirming that he was fine, he checked on Goro Kinoshita and Yasuo Kamimoto.

Compared to Hamada, these two people are in much worse condition.

One of them is still unconscious after being hit by Natsukawa, and the other was kicked away by Conan using his leg-strengthening shoes. Both of them woke up slowly the next morning.

At noon, Xia Chuan finally woke up.

Because they worked too late last night, he slept a little longer.

This was woken up by Conan.

Conan had another sleepless night last night, and kept thinking about why the murderers were Goro Kinoshita and Yasuo Kamimoto.

It was not until dawn that I was able to come up with a rough idea.

It was almost noon, and he started to get anxious when he saw that Xia Chuan hadn't gotten up yet.

Eager to verify his guess.

"understood!"

After Xiachuan took Aniya to wash up, they came to the village office.

"Tell me about it."

In the conference hall, after everyone sat down, the village chief, Takeo Mikami, began to ask questions.

At this time, Hamada had obviously returned to normal. After a night of treatment, his whole body was wrapped in bandages, and he looked like a "bandage monster".

Knowing that he couldn't hide it, he looked at Goro Kinoshita and Yasuo Kamimoto beside him with hatred, and began to tell everything.

Koji Hamada was formerly known as Koji Aoki.

Seven years ago, on the night of the Taityphoon, in addition to the captain, there were two other people who went out to sea with the Dragon God.

Koji Aoki is one of them, and the other is Yasuo Kamimatsu.

Taking advantage of the passing typhoon, Koji Aoki pushed the ship owner and Yasuo Kamimoto into the sea, hoping to keep the gold bars worth 1 billion yen for himself against his conscience.

And he did.

After pushing the ship owner and Shangyuan into the sea, he turned off the distress system, hid the Dragon God in the naval cave, and hid himself on the island.

Because of the recent typhoon, the Ryujin, which was hidden in the naval cave, accidentally leaked out, which was the cause of the whole case.

Conan understood and a smile appeared on his face. It was almost the same as he imagined, but it was not over yet.

He asked, "Then how did Mr. Shangyuan and Mr. Kinoshita get together?"

Shang Yuan spoke gloomily, "It was probably the third day after the Ryujin was captured. I heard the news about the Ryujin and found Kinoshita Goro. With his help, I saw the Ryujin. When I saw the Ryujin for the first time, I was sure that this ship was not swept up from the bottom of the sea by the typhoon. Aoki must have hidden it somewhere on the island."

"So I told Mr. Kinoshita what happened seven years ago. Hamada was the only outsider who stayed on board for a long time after the Ryujin incident, so we naturally suspected him. After meeting Hamada on the island this time, I was sure that he was Aoki who pushed me and the ship owner into the sea that year."

"So it wasn't you who started the conference hall?" Kogoro Mouri looked at the two of them with dead eyes.

Kinoshita shook his head. "It should be Hamada, right? Kamiya only saw Hamada before the speech. He didn't have time to make the detonator at that time."

Xia Chuan raised his eyebrows. Things became clear now.

The detonator of the speech was that Hamada didn't want Uncle Mori to continue investigating.

The assassination last night was because Shangyuan and Kinoshita didn't want Maori Kogoro to continue investigating after they knew that there was a possibility that he might keep the gold for himself.

No wonder Kinoshita eavesdropped yesterday and later refuted the village chief's words and wanted to send them away from Shikishima.

I'm afraid they had already tied Hamada to the Ryujin warehouse by then.

Since they had the possibility of obtaining the hiding place of the Ryujin, they naturally did not want Kogoro Mori to continue investigating. This was probably the reason for the assassination last night.

Shang Yuan continued: "After the speech, we tied Aoki to the warehouse and wanted to get information about the Dragon God from him. Unexpectedly, this guy was very stubborn and didn't tell us. That's why Mr. Kinoshita attacked Mr. Mori in the middle of the night."

Kogoro Mouri looked at Hamada with increasingly unfriendly eyes. This guy was actually the culprit for the two injuries he suffered.

The first time was when the detonator of the activation ball was activated, and the second time was because he kept silent, and in the end he was the one who suffered the consequences.

"In fact, if we hadn't done anything to Mr. Maori, we might have had a chance." Shang Yuan smiled bitterly and continued, "In fact, when you guys came, I just found out something. If I had known that I could find out the answer, Mr. Kinoshita wouldn't have needed to take this risk."

Kinoshita Goro's face was gloomy. "It's meaningless to say this now."

Conan thought about it and asked another question, which he was quite concerned about, that is, the "Navy Ghost" and the scholars five years ago, who killed those scholars.

But before he could say anything, Mikami Takeo asked, "Five years ago, who killed those scholars who came to Shikishima to do research, and who was that navy ghost?"

"Of course it's Aoki, who else could it be?"

Shang Yuan glanced at Hamada Koji with a mocking look and sneered, "I'm not surprised that he killed me and the ship owner seven years ago, and five years ago he killed five scholars, including the attack on Mr. Maori yesterday. I immediately identified it as you, Aoki, you are so cruel!"

"He killed so many people just to keep the gold nugget for himself, and even left this scar on his face to cover up his original appearance."

However, Hamada ignored him completely, his expression was dejected, and he looked as if he didn't care about life or death anymore.

In fact, anyone would collapse.

Typhoons are the reason for both success and failure.

It can only be said that he had neither the right time, the right place, nor the right people.

The matter has been completely solved at this point, the gold nugget is in the Navy Cave.

Kogoro Mori was both sad and happy. He could get 20 million yen from this commission.

This was the first time in his career that he had received such a huge sum of money.

No, it’s the most I’ve ever gotten in my life.

For this reason, he endured the pain in his buttocks and wanted to go to the Naval Cave to see the gold nuggets with his own eyes.

On the way, Xia Chuan couldn't help but ask, "Village Chief Mikami, has no one of you thought of visiting the Navy Cave in recent years?"

Takeo Mikami had a smile on his face. The hardship of climbing the mountain was worthless compared to 10 billion yen.

"It used to be, but ever since the Ryujin incident seven years ago, there have been rumors of 'naval ghosts' on the island. The source of the rumor was the Navy Cave, and coupled with the murder of the scholar five years ago, no one dared to approach this place. Now that I think about it, it was probably Hamada who was behind it at that time."

Deep in the forest, at the entrance of the Navy Cave.

A faint whistling sound came from the cave, like the howling of ghosts and wolves.

Fortunately it was daytime, it would have been terrifying at night.

"This should be the sound of the sea breeze blowing through the cave. There are no monsters or ghosts." Kogoro Mori stepped in, and the others followed.

The Navy Ghost was undoubtedly a cover-up created by Hamada to prevent anyone from approaching the Navy Cave.

Based on the confessions of Hamada and Kamiya, everyone moved the shrine away, revealing a dark staircase behind it.

No one went down, only Takeo Mikami excitedly broke off a brick from the stairs.

Although it was obviously covered with moss, Takeo Mikami was still easily recognizable.

"Yes! It's a gold nugget!"

Everyone else was also surprised that this staircase was full of gold bars.

Although moss has grown now, it still can't stop people's greedy eyes.

"Mr. Mikami, now that the case has been resolved, the matter of the commission fee..."

Kogoro Mori's face was full of pride. This money was too easy to make.

Making 20 million in just two days and one night is simply huge profits.

But I have to thank Xia Chuan for this. I will definitely thank him when I have the chance.

"Don't worry, Mr. Maori, the money has been prepared long ago, and I will give it to you as soon as I return to the village."

"Hahaha, Village Chief Mikami is a quick-witted person."

In the navy cave, the voices of two uncles spread outside the cave. The sound was no less than the whistling wind, and was equally eerie and terrifying, causing the villagers guarding the door to shudder.

Chapter 16 Upcoming Conference

"Father, what are you laughing at?"

In the room on the ship back to Tokyo, Xiachuan put down the mobile phone and looked at Anya.

"Just thought of something funny."

Anya nodded ignorantly, but she was not at peace in her heart.

What a sinister father! Lingling's father is in trouble this time...

She heard something from Xia Chuan's thoughts.

at the same time.

A message on the dark web appeared in the neon area column.

[Tokyo**——A gold nugget worth 1 billion yen was found! ]

【Pay $100,000 to unlock the keyword. 】

Although the news on the dark web may not be reliable, given the difference between 1 billion yen and 100,000 US dollars, there are still many people willing to buy this news.

Especially some local Japanese forces.

A bar in Tokyo.

"Brother! Something big seems to have happened in Tokyo." Vodka's face flushed, and those who didn't know would think he had just drunk a bottle of vodka.

"what's up."

Gin frowned and held his breath, his mouth reeking of alcohol and bad breath.

"I just saw a post when I was surfing the dark web."

Vodka was extremely excited and placed the cutting-edge product, a ten-centimeter-thick laptop, directly in front of Gin.

This thing is a portable computer developed by scientists in the organization. When closed, it can be carried directly as a suitcase, which is very convenient.

In this era, most computers were desktop computers. Although this type of portable computer appeared, it was not popular among the public.

So this can be considered as an advanced use of the winery.

[Neon...——A 10 billion yen gold nugget appears! ]

Seeing this news, Gin was stunned for half a second, "Quick, buy it!"

Oh my god, I’m worried about not having enough funds.

Miyano Akemi's robbery plan has just begun to be formulated, and it will take some time before it can be implemented. This news is extremely important now.

"One hundred thousand US dollars." Vodka spread his hands to indicate that he had no money.

Gin quickly took the laptop and pressed several buttons on it. After a minute, the transaction was successful.

[Tokyo Shikishima--Gold nuggets worth 1 billion yen were found! ]

[The head of Shikishima Village, Takeo Mikami, recently obtained a gold bar worth 1 billion yen from the lost Ryujin. The gold is now hidden in his home and will be handed over to the government soon. ]

"Ask Tequila to help, and send a helicopter over, quickly!"

Vodka nodded and left to make a phone call.

Gin appears calm on the surface, but his heart is actually in turmoil.

One billion yen is enough to cover the expenses of their Neon branch for a period of time.

The faster you act, the better. This news is very cheap and anyone can buy it. Although this news has been online for no more than half an hour, it is estimated that a lot of it has been sold.

He had to rush to Shiki Island as quickly as possible and get the gold nugget before anyone else!

A helicopter is undoubtedly the best choice.

At the same time, many dark web personnel close to Tokyo have also bought into this news to a greater or lesser extent, but most of them don’t care as it’s too far away.

This news has a strong immediacy.

It's the kind of thing that once you miss it, you'll miss it forever.
