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

Matsuura Island, the bamboo forest where the island owner lives.

When Chiyo Yugo and his men rushed in, they only saw a corpse covered with a white cloth and a crying woman on the ground.

"How is this going?"

Chiyo Yugo questioned loudly.

Maori Kogoro and others who came with Chiyo Yugo were all confused.

An old man with a cane coughed softly and said to Chiyo Yugo, "Just now, the position of the island master has changed again."

"What? Who is it? We haven't received any news."

Chiyo Yugo frowned, his eyes full of disbelief.

"it's me."

A rough voice was heard, and everyone looked over to see an old man in white standing not far from the wooden house, with a sharp cold light in his eyes.

"Chiyo-Ichiro?" Chiyo Yugo was stunned when he saw the old man.

"It's Kusunouchi Sukuya's teacher!"

Lin Zhaowu's teammates exclaimed in a low voice.

Lin Zhaowu's face was solemn. He nudged his teammate with his elbow and whispered, "Shut up."

The current situation is purely a struggle within the island!

These outsiders should stay out of this mess.

"Chiyo Ichiro, haven't you left Matsuura Island?" Chiyo Yugo asked coldly.

Obviously, he is from Chiyo Hayato's faction.

Chiyoichiro sneered: "Why? Can't I come back? You were the ones who drove me away back then!"

Chiyo Yugo looked at the corpse on the ground, his voice trembling: "So, the first step you took after coming back was to seek revenge?"

Chiyoichiro laughed heartily. "Revenge? I'm not seeking revenge. I'm just challenging the island owner according to the rules."

"According to the regulations?"

Chiyo Yugo sneered, "What's the rule? Challenging the island owner must be witnessed by several gentlemen on the island. Now he's dead, but no one knows what happened. How can we trust you?"

Chiyoichiro said coldly: "You don't have to believe me. Now the success or failure is determined. He is just a corpse. Why are you speaking for a corpse?"

Chiyo Yugo: "You've been declining for over a decade. How is it that you're now able to surpass the island master in his prime? Isn't this absurd?"

He looked at several respected elders on the island and said, "Gentlemen, you witnessed Hayato's death with your own eyes. You saw him walk all the way here. But what about him? Hayato's death was unclear, and no one knew where he came from. Don't you find it strange?"

The old people looked at each other, but their eyes were evasive.

Compared to the kindness and gentleness of Chiyo Hayato during his reign, their impression of the old island lord Chiyo Ichiro is still that he is murderous and brutal.

Now that Chiyo Hayato is dead and Chiyo Ichiro has risen again, they really dare not offend each other.

The silence of the old people made all of Chiyo Yugo's words become a joke.

Chiyo Yugo couldn't believe it and questioned them loudly, while the other islanders looked at each other and lost their backbone for a moment.

"Okay, Yugo, if you have any objection to me taking back the position of island owner, then you can challenge me and personally help Hayato take back the position of island owner." Chiyoichiro said casually.

Chiyo Yugo was speechless.

He is not very talented, but he has gotten to where he is today thanks to his intelligence and ability to get things done.

It's okay for him to talk big, but it's absolutely impossible for him to challenge the island owner.

Chiyoichiro knew this, so he never took Chiyoyugo seriously.

The old man looked at the people around him, his sword still unsheathed, but with a strong sense of threat in his eyes: "Does anyone else have any objections? I am ready to accept your challenge at any time!"

Everyone was silent.

Those who can become the island owner are all the best masters on the island. The old island owner has always been ruthless and challengers will either die or be disabled. Who dares to stand up now?

Don't you die?

At this moment, a gust of wind blew through the bamboo forest, lifting the white cloth covering the corpse, slightly revealing the rotten corpse inside.

Everyone looked solemn.

"Oh my! Why is the island owner's body so decomposed? Has he been dead for a long time?"

At this moment, a childish voice suddenly sounded.

"You little brat—" Maori Kogoro punched Conan hard, "Children, don't interrupt when adults are talking!"

This is not a matter they can interfere with!

"Ouch--"

Conan covered the bag on his head, looking pitiful.

The child's innocent words also seemed to remind Chiyo Yugo.

He walked forward, took a deep breath, lifted the white cloth, and saw a rotten corpse.

The unpleasant smell hit my head.

Chiyo Yugo only took a glance, then reluctantly covered the white cloth again and looked at Chiyo Ichiro again: "Excuse me, why did you keep it a secret even though the island owner has been dead for so long?"

The island owner has always been a reclusive person, living alone in a wooden house. Even his wife rarely sees him. Apart from major events on the island, he rarely comes into contact with other people.

If Nan Nei Suku had not died, they would not have sent anyone to notify the island owner. Then no one would have discovered for a long time that the island owner had been replaced without anyone knowing.

There must be something wrong with this Chiyoichiro who deliberately delayed the exposure!

Facing Chiyo Yugo's questioning, Chiyo Ichiro's face turned grim, but he forced himself to be tough: "We did compete a few days ago, but that doesn't affect the result at all, does it? You can perform an autopsy and the wounds on the body were all caused by the sword in my hand. There is absolutely no fabrication!"

Chiyo Yugo gritted his teeth, not knowing how to answer.

Judging from Chiyoichiro's confident behavior, what he said should be true.

But, how is this possible?

In a head-on confrontation, how could Chiyo Hayato be defeated by Chiyo Ichiro, or even be killed by the other party?

"Impossible, the island owner is not dead."

Several children's voices came from the side, but this time, it wasn't Conan who was speaking.

Shirakawa Akane looked over and found that they were the children he had seen when he and Sakuta were strolling in the bamboo forest.

They must particularly admire the island owner, so every night they go outside the bamboo forest to watch the "human figure dancing with swords" on the stone.

Even during the period when the island owner died, they still saw the "spectacle of a human figure dancing with a sword".

Some islanders turned pale, pulling their children aside and yelling, "What nonsense are you talking about? The island owner died a long time ago, how could he still be dancing with swords in the bamboo forest? It's ridiculous!"

"It's obvious! We all saw it!"

The children were at an age when they refused to admit defeat. When they heard their parents didn't believe them, they immediately became anxious and pointed at the body on the ground and said, "It must be the island owner himself! We will never make a mistake!"

After these words were spoken, even Chiyoichiro's face turned pale.

There is a huge difference in body size between Chiyo Ichiro and Chiyo Hayato. Judging from the appearance alone, it is impossible for Chiyo Ichiro to imitate Chiyo Hayato's sword dance in the bamboo forest.

Moreover, Chiyoichiro has been recuperating from his injuries these days, so it is impossible for him to get up late at night to practice swordplay - he has long forgotten how he used the lights to show off!

But...if he didn't do it, then who did it?

This is simply terrifying to think about!

The islanders fell silent, and some even took a step back in fear, not daring to look at the corpse on the ground again.

The island was originally a feudal and backward one, and at this moment the islanders regarded this strange thing as the wronged ghost of the dead island owner.

"Island Master, this has nothing to do with us. Don't come looking for us..."

An old man clasped his hands together tremblingly, praying with a look of fear on his face, his voice filled with panic.

Chiyoichiro took a step back, then a fierce look appeared in his eyes. He drew his sword and pointed it at the corpse on the ground: "The winner will be the king and the loser will be the bandit. It is a foregone conclusion. I advise you not to have any more evil thoughts, otherwise I will burn your corpse!"

Maori Kogoro and others: "..."

No, wasn’t this just an action movie about infighting on the island?

How come it turned into a horror movie the next moment?
