Rebirth of Conan as a Detective
Chapter 96
In the afternoon, when the cruise ship arrived at Fu Island, many villagers had gathered on the wharf, and a welcome banner was specially pulled. The atmosphere was very warm.
When Uncle Maori appeared, someone helped lay the dock pedal for him to get off the boat. Many villagers immediately gathered around and looked at him excitedly.
"It''s a big detective from Tokyo!"
"Here comes the great detective!"
"I didn''t expect to be so popular!" Seeing the welcome, uncle Maori got off the ship with a glowing old face and a light cough.
Gao Cheng followed him with a smelly face. He had never been so popular before. Uncle Maori was lucky.
"Oh, Mr. Maori, it must be a tiring journey, isn''t it?" A bald old man came forward eagerly to shake hands with Uncle Maori and said with a smile, "I''m village head sanshangwunan. I''m so grateful that you can come here!"
Uncle Maori has always been very helpful to compliments. He was very happy and kept laughing: "Hello, village head..."
"Is this poor uncle really so famous?" A little girl with two braids suddenly interrupted, "when I heard that a detective was coming, I thought it would be a handsome uncle."
"Ah?"
Uncle Maori choked heavily and looked at the little girl angrily: "what did you say?"
"Xiaoling," she said helplessly, "it''s impolite of you to treat dad''s guests like this."
Maoli Leng Leng, quickly put on a close expression, change attitude: "ah ah, make Qianjin really lovely."
The little girl ignored him and ran to Gao Cheng. First she looked at Gao Cheng, then she looked around Conan carefully and looked at him with a look of inquiry.
"What for?" Conan was a little uncomfortable.
"Well, what''s your name?" Asked the little girl.
"Conan, Konan Edogawa," Conan replied, "his name is Shinji Chengdo."
"You''re not twins?" The little girl stared at Conan and said, "your name is so strange. Is it popular in Tokyo now?"
Then he looked at the wooden knife on Gao Cheng''s back: "do you always have this knife? It looks really strange... "
Gao Cheng and Conan don''t go too far at the same time: it''s none of your business.
"Whatever," said the little girl, with a brilliant smile on her face. My name is sanshang Lingling. It seems that I am older than you. I''m your sister. "
"Sister?" Gao Cheng takes a puff at the corner of his mouth and looks at the little girl who is only seven years old?
On the third day, Lingling suddenly hugged Conan''s arm, blushed and said, "it''s very popular to associate with people younger than herself now..."
"Little people are big ghosts."
Gao Cheng touched his nose. Why is Conan always so popular with girls?
"Get out of the way!" Sunglasses man finally get off the boat, cold voice from Gao Cheng passed by, standing in front of the village head.
"I''m Yasuo Uehara from Dongdu travel agency. Please give me more advice."
"Welcome to come," said village head sanshang warmly. "As long as we can attract tourists, we are willing to do our best to cooperate with your company."
The sunglasses man, with short hair and a light gray suit, looked rather cold: "where is the ghost ship?"
Gao Cheng frowned and inadvertently smelled a trace of danger.
Sure enough, he was right. This treasure hunt will not be easy. After all, it''s a treasure worth as much as one billion yen, and it can''t be without any danger.
That''s why he brought Dongye Lake out ahead of time.
The key now is to find the treasure before anyone else or the Nuggets sink into the sea
Gao Cheng followed the group and first went to see the so-called ghost boat Dragon God pill.
The ship is parked in an open warehouse. It sounds mysterious. In fact, it''s a small yacht. The hull is well preserved, only the bottom is covered with rust patches.
"Well?" Looking at the yacht for a while, Gao Cheng suddenly looks back.
"Just now..."
"What''s the matter?" Conan wondered.
"Nothing, nothing."
Gao Cheng frowned and looked into the distance. Just now he felt as if someone was peeping, but there was no half figure.
After visiting the ghost boat, they went to the citizen Hall of Fudao village, where the upcoming Maori speech was held.
"Come on, come on, please use it." in the citizen''s Museum, three people went to the village to treat Maori warmly and poured wine to Maori. "Mr. Maori, there is still a little time before the beginning of the speech."
"Thank you very much." Uncle Maori was not polite at all. He was flushed with drink.
Gao Cheng sits on one side, enjoying a rare delicacy. Anyway, it''s the village head who entertains the uncle.
However, looking at the village head''s appearance, I always feel that his hospitality is too much
"I said, Mr. Maori," when I went to the village to see Maori drink happily, I said at the right time, "after your speech, I have something to use your wisdom."
Although uncle Maori was drinking wine, he knew this kind of way better than anyone else. He was not surprised at all: "do you want me to help you find the place where the Dragon God pill sank?" The village chief was stunned, patted his head and said with a smile: "it''s really a detective. In my opinion, the Dragon God pill should have sunk around the island. As long as you know the location, you can find the missing gold nuggets." Maori was unmoved and said, "even if those gold nuggets are really found, they should not belong to you, because they must be nationalized."“ But our island still has the right to get 10% profit, right? " The village head held his hand and asked the uncle, "please do this, Mr. Maori."“ No, I refuse. How can the famous detective in my world do this kind of treasure hunting work... "" what if your salary is one tenth of our island? "“ I''d love to. "..." Gao Cheng raises his ears speechlessly. One tenth of 10% of the treasure is 10 million. Uncle Maori would not refuse. But do you have to hand over the treasure to the state“ About the Dragon God pill, "the old man explained," it was a typhoon night seven years ago. On the sea one kilometer away from the island, the Dragon God pill kept sending out distress signals because of the ship''s body problems. But just when we went out to sea for rescue, the distress signal was suddenly interrupted“ By the next morning, only the body of the owner of the ship was found on the coast. Let alone gold, we didn''t even find any drifting objects. "“ Who are the owners of those gold nuggets? "“ It was the shipowner who died. He was about to be arrested for tax evasion, so he changed all his property into gold. That typhoon night, he was going to flee abroad. " Gao Cheng is listening silently. The gold nugget must be on the island. I don''t think it''s sunk in the sea, but I don''t know where it is. It''s better to collect more clues.
