My neighbor's name is Conan

Chapter 724: It was murder, not an accident

Looking at the other party's receding back, Mitsuhiko asked curiously: "Who are they and what are they doing here?"

Ayumi echoed, "They seem to be looking for something."

Iida Iwa explained, "Recently, there have been some divers who have been hanging around the daughter of a certain company president. They're getting in the way of our fishing. It's really annoying."

"Eh..." Ayumi looked at Iida Iwa and said, "Is that so..."

Jingtianyan continued to complain: "Although this sea belongs to everyone, we fishermen should at least consider us."

Jingtianyan stopped talking and immediately changed the subject: "Okay, let's not talk about this. This Ikkoku Rock is the rock for children. You can have fun with it."

The little ones quickly responded happily: "Okay!"

From a distance, the Icicle looked small, but when the fishing boat stopped next to it, Qing Musong found that it was actually very large and he had to look up to see it.

This horn rock is huge, like a small mountain.

When the fishing boat approached, Iida Iwa got off the boat first to tie the rope to secure the fishing boat, and then Aoki Matsu and others got off the fishing boat.

After landing, Mitsuhiko exclaimed: "After getting closer, it looks like a horn, but it's just a piece of rock with holes all over it."

Conan also looked at the corner rock and said, "Yes, it looks like it has been severely eroded by the sea."

"Ah! Look, look!" Ayumi suddenly shouted excitedly, pointing to the distance and said, "Sunset! Let's take a photo together before the sunset disappears!"

"Okay, then just take a picture with my phone." Subaru Okiya said with a smile, holding the phone in his left hand.

Qing Musong's eyes sparkled when he heard this, and he smiled and said, "Just use my phone to take the photo, and I'll print it out and let Sayuri give it to you."

"Okay!" Sayuri was the first to respond.

Mitsuhiko and Genta were not so sensitive and also smiled and said, "Okay, okay."

Ayumi even pushed Conan and said, "Everyone, hurry up and line up, line up."

Soon the little ones lined up, and then everyone smiled and made a cheesy "victory" gesture to Aoki Matsu, and Mitsuhiko even made a cheesy "victory" gesture.

Click!

Aoki Matsu pressed the shutter button and took a few pictures of the little ones.

Then he walked towards the little ones and came to the side of Huihara Ai. Qing Musong squatted down, looked at the rock behind Huihara Ai and said, "There seems to be something engraved on the rock behind Ai."

Everyone looked over immediately after hearing this.

Conan also read the words on it at first glance: "Mackerel, carp, sea bream, flounder?"

Mitsuhiko thought for a moment and guessed, "Is it to commemorate the fish he caught that he carved the name of the fish?"

Ayumi's focus was a little different. "That's too much. How could someone do such a thing?"

At this time, Yuan Tai's voice sounded, a little anxious, "Come and see!"

Several people looked back and saw Yuan Tai looking at a pink object curiously.

Yuan Tai looked at the thing and said, "It seems like there is something stuck in the crack of the rock? What is this?"

He reached out and wanted to pull it out, but...

"It's stuck so tightly, I can't take it out..." Yuan Tai said with difficulty.

"These look like the fins you wear when diving." Mitsuhiko said knowledgeably.

[This pair of fins looks new! If it's a prank, if I leave my fins here, I won't be able to use them when I go back. And with those words, is there some hidden message? Is anyone here?] Conan thought of this and immediately ran to the side.

When Aoki Matsu saw Conan running away, he realized something and hurriedly followed him.

Seeing that Aoki Matsu and Conan had run away, the others followed.

Then everyone found a woman kneeling beside the rock with her eyes closed.

[Ah, as expected!] A thought flashed through Aoki Matsu's mind: "As expected."

He then stopped Conan and reached out to touch the artery in his neck.

The few little ones running behind also arrived.

Seeing this, Yuan Tai subconsciously asked: "What happened to that sister?"

Mitsuhiko didn't want to think too badly about the situation, so he asked, "Are you asleep?"

At this time, Qing Musong withdrew his hand and said seriously: "No, she is dead."

Judging from the stiffness, he had been dead for several hours. Judging from the dry lips and loose skin, he probably died of dehydration.

"Ah!" Several little ones screamed in surprise.

At this time, hearing a few little screams, Subaru Okiya ran over and looked closely at the dead body.

Ai Huihara looked at the dead body and couldn't help but say: "Something must have gone wrong while she was diving. She couldn't continue swimming. After finally arriving here, no one found her."

Mitsuhiko agrees with Haibara Ai's opinion, "This is a rock that can sink a ship. Of course, no one will go near here."

Yuan Tai heard this and said, "No matter what, let's carry this sister onto the boat first."

Ayumi also said: "It's so pitiful to leave her like this..."

"No!" Qing Musong stood up and took out his cell phone from his pocket, saying, "It was murder, not an accident."

"What!" The little ones were shocked again.

Conan and Okiya Subaru were not surprised. If Aoki Matsu couldn't even see this, he wouldn't have solved so many cases.

Sayuri asked the question on everyone's mind, "Brother, why do you think it was murder and not an accident?"

"Lipstick. The deceased had lipstick on her lips, but there was no lipstick on the regulator. So the deceased had never used the regulator. But the lipstick was a little worn out, which means that maybe she had used the regulator, and it was very likely taken away by the murderer and replaced with a new one." Aoki Matsu explained.

At this time, Qing Musong's phone call was also connected. His mobile phone had its signal strengthened by Noah's Ark, so he could make calls directly near the sea.

The first call Aoki Matsu made was to Inspector Megure.

Yes, I didn’t call the police. Instead, I called Inspector Megure to explain the matter.

Because this location is not under the direct jurisdiction of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, but belongs to Kanagawa Prefecture.

Then Aoki Matsu called the police in Kanagawa Prefecture.

Then not long after, Aoki Matsu saw a familiar man leading a group of police officers towards him.

Henggou has a new understanding!

Ah, it reminds me that Conan just went to "harm" Yokomizo Sango.

Conan really loves these two brothers deeply.

When Yokomizo Shigego saw Aoki Matsu, he hurried over to find out what was going on.

Aoki Matsu told the truth without exaggerating.

"I see. You guys originally wanted to take a group photo here, on this corner rock with the sunset as the background, but you didn't expect to find the body of the young woman as soon as you got closer. Is that right?" Yokomizo Shigego looked at the others and asked.

Okiya Subaru nodded: "Yes."

"Although we cannot say for sure without moving to land for a detailed investigation, judging from the stiffness and corneal opacity, he must have died 5-6 hours ago. And judging from the dry mouth and the lack of elasticity on the skin...

The cause of death was dehydration, so this woman had been on this corner rock for at least three days without food or water. "After examining the deceased, Yokomizo Shigego stood up and continued, "From the diving suit and the oxygen tank and regulator she was wearing, she was a diver.

If it were an ordinary police officer, he would definitely think that he encountered a problem while diving, and finally came to this rock, but no one found him and rescued him in time. I think most people would probably reason like this, but I am different. "

He pointed at the deceased and said, "As you can see, this woman clearly wore lipstick, but it didn't get on the regulator, which means someone must have predicted the time of her death.

Then he replaced the regulator, abandoned her here, and ran away. Although the murderer's motive is still unclear, it must be a murder case. "

Mitsuhiko stared at it with wide eyes, "Wow... so amazing!"

Yokomizo Shigego was a little proud in his heart, but on the surface he said modestly: "No, it's okay for the police."

Mitsuhiko continued, "It's just like what Aoki-nii said."

Shigeo Yokomizo was not surprised to hear this. After all, Aoki Matsu was now a rising star in the Metropolitan Police Department, so it was not surprising that he could see these things.

So we got down to business. "By the way, how did you find the body?"

Aoki Matsu answered, "Because of the fins stuck in the rock. There was a fin that was worn for diving stuck in the crack of the rock on the other side. I don't think someone would have prepared fins and brought them here just for a prank like that, so it must be a message left by the owner of the fins while he was still here."

Upon hearing this, Yokomizo Shigego said, "Well, pull it up and take a look. Maybe there will be something written on it."

"Yes!" a police officer nearby responded.

Soon the fins were pulled up, but there was nothing on them.

At this time, Qing Musong reminded: "But there are words engraved on the rock over there, on the rock next to the flippers."

Ayumi immediately said, "It has the names of the fish written on it."

Yuan Tai also said: "There are four kinds of fish names."

Yokomizo Shigego was confused when he heard this. "You said there was a name for the fish?"

"Yes, mackerel, carp, sea bream, and flounder," said Sayuri.

Hearing this, Yokomizo Shigego said disapprovingly, "What does this mean? Could it be that someone is just joking around and carving down the fish they caught here?"

This time, before Aoki Matsu could speak, Iida Iwa came over and said, "It's not like that, Yokogami."

Yokomizo Shigego turned around when he heard the familiar voice and said, "Isn't this Ida-san?"

Iida Iwa smiled and said, "Let alone mackerel, sea bream and flounder, you can't catch carp in the sea."

Upon hearing this, Yokomizo Shigego immediately said, "That's true. Did you bring these people here?"

Iida Iwa nodded, "Yes."

Ayumi looked at the two men with wide eyes at this time, and asked curiously: "Uncle and police officer uncle, do you know each other?"

Iidayan nodded and smiled, revealing: "When he was a child, he came to Ikkakui Rock on my father's boat in order to learn how to swim better. Later, we became close friends. At that time, this guy was terribly afraid of water and kept holding on to me tightly. It was really a headache."

In front of everyone, Yokomizo Shigeo's past was exposed and he looked embarrassed.

At this time, Jingtianyan suddenly thought of another person. "By the way, what happened to your brother who came with you at that time? He was too scared to get off the ship in the end."

Yokomizo Shigego curled his lips and said, "Thanks to you, my brother is still a landlubber even now."

This time the younger brother also exposed his older brother's secrets.

Yokomizo Shigego quickly changed the subject. "But then again, what are the characters for sea bream and flounder? This isn't the Dragon King's Palace."

Conan suddenly said at this time: "Could it be a message before death? Because you see, there is a watch mark left by the sun on the left wrist of this woman. So I thought of a possibility, so before the police officer uncle came here, I and Brother Aoki carefully investigated this corner rock, and found a diving watch."

Yokomizo Shigego opened his eyes wide when he heard this, "What?!"

Qing Musong quickly explained: "I just went to take a look. I didn't damage the scene. The diving watch is still there."

It is impossible for Qingmu Song to knowingly commit such a violation.

After Shigego Yokomizo had someone take a picture, he reached out and picked up the diving watch. "The edge seems to be quite worn."

Qing Musong nodded and said, "Because the width of the wear on the watch is consistent with the thickness of the strokes of the fish characters, I think it is very likely a message left by this woman before she died."

Conan also nodded, agreeing with Aoki Matsu's point of view.

Mitsuhiko had a question, "But the murderer must have been to this place at least once, right? Maybe that person wrote it down on purpose in order to put the blame on someone else."

Qing Musong shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. If that's the case, the written thing should be next to the deceased, so that it is easier to put the blame on others, rather than on the farthest opposite side, because there is a great possibility that the message will not be discovered by the murderer.

Moreover, it would have been more reasonable for the watch to still be on her hand, but she took it off and hid it, probably to prevent the murderer who came here from having the chance to discover the message she left before her death.

Even if this is a rock that ordinary ships would not approach, there is still a possibility of being seen. This woman must have thought that the murderer would not stay in this place for a long time, so she hid the watch and waited for the body to be discovered. The police who spent a lot of time investigating here would find this message before death. "

After Qing Musong finished speaking, he pointed at the watch and said, "Look, there are initials of the name on the back of the watch. Even if it is discovered after a long time, we should know whose watch it is."

Yokomizo Shigego followed his instructions and turned over his watch to observe it. "AKAMINE ANGEL...CLUB. The word behind ANGEL has been worn off."
