Detective Conan: Knifeman? I'm a good citizen of Beihua

The next few days were peaceful.

Shirakawa Qiu has begun to adapt to the situation where multiple detectives exist at the same time.

Of course, the system plays the Heart Purification Mantra and the Great Compassion Sutra through the loudspeaker every day.

It can be considered as using magic to defeat magic.

In the past few days, Hattori Heiji has overcome all obstacles and successfully entered the final round of qualifying matches.

There are eight people in the final round, who play against each other in pairs to select the top four who advance to the finals.

As luck would have it, Hattori Heiji drew Kusunoki Sukuya.

Looking at the name above, Hattori Heiji solemnly promised Shirakawa Qiu: "Don't worry, Mr. Shirakawa, I will definitely defeat him!"

Recently, Kusunoki has been causing trouble for Shirakawa Akane from time to time, and Hattori Heiji has been unhappy with him for a long time.

Bai Chuanqiu's gaze fell on the open space over there, and he twitched the corners of his mouth and chuckled: "Well, I'll wait."

However, Kusunoki did not show up until the end of the game.

Hattori Heiji inexplicably advanced directly.

Everyone was whispering.

"What's going on? Someone is missing the final competition?"

"You have absolutely no warrior spirit at all. You deserve to be eliminated..."

Hattori Heiji was also confused and looked at the person in charge of the competition.

The person in charge was the man in white standing on the pier on their first day on the island. His name was Chiyo Yugo.

Seeing that someone was absent from the game, Chiyo Yugo also looked unhappy. He whispered a few words to his subordinates and asked them to go and see what was going on.

Lin Zhaowu also successfully won the game. Seeing this scene, his eyelids twitched and he whispered to the players watching the game: "Did anyone of you see Nan Nei Suye today?"

Everyone shook their heads: "No, we thought he was here first."

"Yeah, he's always disliked us, but we didn't pay any attention to him."

"Who knows what happened to him? He couldn't have overslept..."

Soon, someone replied to Chiyo Yugo.

Chiyo Yugo's eyes suddenly turned cold as he looked at the people around him.

"Today's competition is over. All tourists on the island are requested to return to their hotels."

The man said coldly.

The originally lively atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

"Eh? Why? I still want to go eat?"

"What's going on? Isn't it just an absence? Why do we all have to go back?"

Everyone was puzzled, but the islanders had already come up and politely asked the tourists to return to the hotel.

Hattori Heiji took off his protective gear and walked in front of Mori Kogoro and others.

"What's going on?" He was a little confused.

Conan had an inexplicable ominous premonition.

"Let's go back first." Bai Chuanqiu suggested, "After all, this is their territory. Let's listen to them first. We'll know when we get back to the hotel."

"Right."

Everyone followed the tourists back to the hotel.

The others entered the hotel and were politely asked to return to their rooms by the hotel owner, but only Shirakawa Qiu and others were stopped when they entered the hotel.

"Yes, that's him."

Someone pointed at Shirakawa Akane and said to Chiyo Yugo.

Everyone was stunned again.

Baichuan Qiu pointed at himself: "Me?"

Chiyo Yugo looked at Shirakawa Qiu coldly and said, "You can't go back to your room. Wait here first."

Hattori Heiji frowned and shouted, "What do you mean?"

"Oh, right, he's also a suspect. He was Nanuchi's opponent today, and they happened to be in the same group." The person who accused Shirakawa Qiu pointed at Hattori Heiji, "It must be them who conspired to kill Nanuchi—"

"Huh?" Hattori Heiji was also confused.

Conan frowned: Nan Nei? Could it be that - that guy is not absent, but dead?

Sakuta stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Yugo, what do you mean?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Saku, something has happened here. Please leave first." Chiyo Yugo had already waved, and the islanders surrounded them. "Of course, you can join them, but please cooperate and stand aside for now. This is not the time for you to talk."

These islanders were all equipped with swords. They surrounded everyone and moved their scabbards slightly, which was full of threats.

Sakuta hissed softly, knowing they were serious.

Maori Kogoro stopped a few people behind him and said in a deep voice: "We will cooperate, please talk it over."

So everyone could only stand aside aimlessly.

After a while, Lin Zhaowu and others also came back.

"He and Nan Nei have always been at odds, and since his swordsmanship is better than Nan Nei's, he might be a possibility."

Later, Lin Zhaowu and others were stopped in the same way.

At this point, the other travelers returned to their rooms, leaving only these two groups of people confused and left in the small courtyard of the hotel.

The man who accused everyone wanted to say something, but Chiyo Yugo waved his hand and said calmly, "Okay, now don't say anything."

He looked at the bewildered crowd and said, "I'm sure you all have a lot of doubts in your minds right now. I'll explain it to you now."

"Just now, our people found Kusauchi Sukuya's body in the rice fields behind the hotel."

Everyone was shocked.

"Why is it in that place?"

Kogoro Mori raised doubts.

Chiyo Yugo said: "At present, we suspect that he fell from the dry toilet of the hotel."

Everyone: "..."

Hattori Heiji spoke with difficulty: "So... on his body?"

Chiyo Yugo nodded, not giving the deceased any face: "All of them."

Everyone: "..."

Please, it tastes good.

"According to the rules of our island, any feud must be settled on the challenge stage, regardless of life or death." Chiyo Yugo said calmly, "But now, you outsiders have broken our rules."

Hattori Heiji and Conan both frowned in dissatisfaction.

The rules of the island?

In any case, this is Sakura's land, and the people on the island should not be able to decide the life and death of others on their own.

However, when they wanted to speak out, they were held down by Baichuanqiu.

"You two listen carefully and don't talk."

Baichuan Qiu lowered his voice and said.

These two kids are full of justice, but this is not the place to talk about the law.

Maori Kogoro didn't like what Chiyo Yugo said, but he was more rational and said directly, "Are you doubting us now? But these are just one-sided statements from the deceased's friends. We knew nothing about this matter. If you want to detain us, you must provide evidence."

Chiyo Yugo: "Don't worry, it was the murderer who broke the rules of our island. Before we find the murderer, we will not take action against outsiders like you."

"but--"

He glanced at the crowd, "I must demand an explanation from the murderer—and you are the most likely to be the murderer."

"If the murderer comes forward now, I can have him brought back to shore and handed over to the Sakura police," Chiyo Yugo said. "But if you don't come forward, I'm sorry, but if we catch you, we will execute you the way we do on our island."

The man's tone was nonchalant, yet tinged with ruthlessness: "The last person who did this didn't even leave behind ashes."

Everyone gasped.

"So, murderer, I'll give you five counts now. Think it over and come forward. Otherwise, we have plenty of patience—"

The man gripped the sword tightly in his hand, his voice cold.

"five--"

"Four--"

"three--"

The islanders drew their swords, and the sharpened swords emitted a faint light and brought a chilling chill.

"two--"

"Wait a moment--"

Someone raised their hand.

Everyone looked over.
