Chapter 448: Stairway to the Golden Ship


   June 1, Sunday, morning, navy cave.
Conan and Mikami Ling entered the cave behind the altar. Not long after they walked, they turned a corner, and there was a bright light in front of them. Mikami pointed there excitedly and said, "Conan, look ahead." Ran forward, but as soon as he took a step, he slipped and rolled down, and Conan, who was being pulled by her, could only roll down.
   Fortunately, this place is not high anymore, Conan and Mikami Ling just became dusty and not injured.
   Mikami Ling complained: "What kind of ladder is this, I don't do it well when I do it." Then he looked at Conan's painted face and laughed.
Conan smiled irritably: "What's funny, you are not the same." Then he found a metallic reflection in front of him. He immediately looked for it, and then found that it was a brick on the corner of the second step. There is some reflection on the bumpy surface.
   Conan stretched out his hand to buckle, but did not buckle out, but buckled off some lime skin, revealing the golden metal.
   Mikami Ling said, "Conan, this one needs a kick, I'll help you." He kicked it and kicked the brick loose.
   Conan weighed the weight, and thought to himself, it looks like it should be gold. It seems that my reasoning is wrong. Mr. Hamada knows the whereabouts of the gold, because obviously this ladder cannot be built by one person in a short time, it must be built by Mr. Hamada bit by bit. And Mr. Hamada pointed the telescope at this place to monitor the gold. But why didn't he leave the island with the gold? Is it because he thinks the island is safe and wants to wait for the prosecution period to pass on the island? By the way, I don't know if he has mentioned the location of the gold deposit.
   At this time, Mikami screamed in horror, pointing in one direction.
   Conan looked over immediately and found a man with a blood-covered face, sitting motionless about ten meters behind them, there seemed to be a pistol on the ground beside them.
   "He, is he dead?" Mikami Ling asked behind Conan.
   Conan placed the bricks, walked over, and looked around, and found that it was a cave connected to the sea, and the sea flooded into the cave. This is the reason why the Rongshen floated out. Then he discovered that the man was actually Captain Uehara, and he was shot in the temple. How could he be here? Did he find it after looking at Mr. Hamada's telescope, or did someone who knew this place from Mr. Hamada told him, and then came to kill him? Conan reached out and probed Captain Uehara's neck. It was cold, and it seemed that he had been dead for a while.
   "Did he commit suicide?" Mikami Ling asked.
   Conan said: "I think..."
   A voice came down from the stairs, "I think he probably committed suicide because he thought he couldn't escape." Then he walked down.
   Conan Mikami Suzu looked at it, and it was Mr. Kinoshita.
   Conan asked: "Why are you here?"
   Mr. Kinoshita said, "I just took a look, and then I found a hole behind the altar and came down." Then he said, "Come on, come back with me, the village chief and them come back soon."
   "Okay, Uncle Kinoshita." Mikami Ling said.
   "Wait a minute." Conan reached out and stopped Mikami Ling.
   Mr. Kinoshita asked, "Any questions, kid?"
   Conan said: "I don't think Captain Uehara committed suicide at all, he was killed."
   "No way?" Mikami was taken aback.
"We don't seem to say who the deceased is? How does he know who the deceased is?" Conan asked, "And the altar was blocked at the entrance of the cave when we came. Will someone who wants to commit suicide do that?" Then he said again. "The most important thing is that the pistol is in the right hand of Captain Uehara's body. If you look closely, you can find that Captain Uehara's wound is small on the left and large on the right. This is the best evidence that the bullet went in from the left and came out on the right. In other words, Captain Uehara used the gun from the left, but it is weird to shoot himself from the left temple with the pistol in his right hand."
   Mr. Kinoshita sighed: "The sleeping Kogoro is indeed well-deserved, and even the children around him can teach so well."
   Conan raised his triangular eyes. Strictly speaking, I taught him.
   "Uncle Kinoshita." Mikami Ling shouted in surprise.
   "When things get to this point, I don't have to hide it from you anymore." Mr. Kinoshita said grimly, "because you never have a chance to speak out."
   "Why?" Conan asked.
   Mr. Kinoshita asked in surprise: "Oh, doesn't it seem like you are not surprised at all?"
   Conan said, "You shot the wound on your arm yourself."
   "So you even noticed this." Mr. Kinoshita said.
Conan said: "Because there were burn marks on your sleeves at that time, that is to say, the muzzle was pressed against the sleeves when you shot. But you said that Captain Uehara shot it suddenly. Shoot it, it’s hard to shoot it by sticking it to your sleeve so skillfully."
   "You kid does have a set, so the Maori detective should know it." Mr. Kinoshita said, "It seems that he should be dropped sooner."
   Conan said, "It turns out that it was you who killed Mr. Hamada."
   "Really? It seems that the Maori detective can't reason, so he didn't expose me." Mr. Kinoshita smiled.
   "It's just that there is no evidence to expose you on the spot." Conan said, "Just investigate how many people on the island will wear armor and wear the armor of the water army, and you will know who the murderer is."
   Mikami Suzu said: "It seems that no one on our island wears armor, and no one except Uncle Kinoshita who manages the cultural center will touch the armor of the water army."
   Mr. Kinoshita said, "Kid, do you know? Hamada will die because of you."
   "Me?" Conan thought for a moment and asked, "Is it because of the question I asked?"
"Yes," Mr. Kinoshita said, "Actually, I have been paying attention to Hamada a long time ago, and I went to the lighthouse to investigate when he was away. I also knew what happened in the Shuijun cave with the telescope, but I just didn't think He is a gold robber. After being reminded by you, in order not to be found by Maori detectives, I went to him. I didn't expect him to say that he was just the responder, Captain Uehara, so I had to kill him."
   Conan said: "I think even if Mr. Hamada knew where the gold was, you would kill him."
"The original name of Hamada was actually Aoki. I killed him should be regarded as killing the people." Mr. Kinoshita said, "The professor and his students who came before were used by Hamada to send meals. They were mixed with medicine, and they were all unconscious and sank into the sea."
   "This kind of thing has its own law to punish him, it is not your turn to do it." Conan said, and then asked, "Do you know how his face was made?"
   "Fake, it's glued on." Mr. Kinoshita said.
   Conan said: "You are killing Mr. Hamada. After setting up the scene, you lead Uncle Maori to him. You want to blame Uncle and drive him out of the island."
   "That's good." Mr. Kinoshita said, "but it was easily solved by Mr. Mori."
Conan said, "Although you didn't ask Mr. Hamada about the location of the gold, you got the news that the Ryoshin was originally here. You came here to find the gold but you didn't find the gold. You think the police won't find it either. So In order to attract the police, you shot yourself in the hotel. And you convinced Captain Uehara to hide here, just to kill him in this place where no one would come, so as to disguise him as suicide. Later, he pretended to find this place by accident and brought the police here, so that the police thought he committed suicide in fear of crime and ended Mr. Hamada’s incident.
Then he asked,
How did you convince him?

"He held a gun at me when I went in," Mr. Kinoshita said. "I told him that he had a gun and couldn't escape. I believe he was innocent, but the people on the island did not believe him and would treat him. Lynch him and let him come out after the police come." Then he said, "It's not good to be caught with a pistol, so he left the gun to me for safekeeping." Then he picked up the pistol.
   "Uncle Kinoshita." Mikami Suzu was scared.
"Children, these are all your own reasoning? It's really good. But, it's a pity." Mr. Kinoshita said, "By the way, you don't seem to be afraid at all. Are you waiting for the self-proclaimed Mr. Mori? A high school student with a part-time assistant? I’m sorry ~EbookFREE.me~ I saw him go back."
   Conan let go of his heart, because the embarrassing scene did not leak out, but at the same time, he became a little nervous because Yamazaki did not follow.
   Mr. Kinoshita said, "I blame the village chief that greedy fellow..."
   Mikami Ling said, "My father is not greedy at all, he is for this island."
Mr. Kinoshita continued: "If he hadn't found the Maori detective on the island, so many things would have happened. If you blame them, please blame them. The legend that the famous detective Kogoro Maori will bring incidents is not a fake. Yes, it should be on you this time." He wanted to shoot.
   "Wait a minute," Conan said.
   Mr. Kinoshita asked, "My kid, what else do you want to say before you die?"
  While walking towards the brick he threw on the ground, Conan asked, "You have worked so hard, don't you want to know where the gold is hidden?"
   "What did you say?" Mr. Kinoshita was taken aback. "Does the Maori detective already know where the gold is?"
   Conan squatted down and picked up the bricks, and twisted the on his shoes by the way, and said,
Of course, Uncle Maori’s reputation for being able to resolve the incident is not fake.

"So, where is the gold?" Mr. Kinoshita's voice trembled a little, then he saw the bricks in Conan's hand, reacted, and asked in surprise, "Are the gold nuggets built into that ladder?" Then he shouted , "Hurry up, show it to me."...
