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

The sudden change directly confused the protagonists.

Conan looked at the corpse with a serious expression.

Hattori Heiji squatted down and asked Conan in a low voice: "Kudo, do you have any clues?"

Conan shook his head: "Not at all, but perhaps if we examine the body of the deceased, we might find some clues."

Hattori Heiji nodded: "I think so too."

Then he raised his hand again and said to Chiyo Yugo, "Mr. Yugo, Detective Mori wants to examine the body."

Mouri Kogoro: "Huh?"

Chiyo Yugo looked at Maori Kogoro and his eyes lit up: "Yes, Mr. Maori is a famous detective in Sakura. Maybe we can ask him to come and see what's going on."

Kogoro Mouri glared at Heiji Hattori.

Damn boy, when did he say he wanted to perform an autopsy!

But under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Kogoro Mouri could only force a smile and slowly walked to the corpse.

In an instant, two heads appeared beside him.

They are Hattori Heiji and Conan.

Maori Kogoro:"……"

"Hurry up, uncle." Hattori Heiji urged shamelessly.

Maori Kogoro: "...Okay."

So Kogoro Mouri was forced to take the initiative and start to roughly examine the condition of the corpse.

The body had begun to decompose, with obvious livor mortis. Judging from the overall state of rigor mortis, it had been at least four or five days.

Kogoro Mouri is not a forensic doctor, and can only make a rough investigation based on his years of experience as a detective, but he did not find anything suspicious about the body.

There was a penetrating sword wound in the abdomen, and then in the neck.

Kogoro Mori could only infer that it was Ichiro Chiyo who killed Hayato Chiyo based on the approximate width of the sword.

Other than that, everything works fine.

After receiving the answer from Maori Kogoro, Chiyo Ichiro looked at Chiyo Yugo proudly: "Yugo, you have nothing to say now!"

Chiyo Yugo: "Who was the one dancing with the sword that night? The children all saw it."

This is the weirdest place.

Conan went to ask a few children who had seen the "Shadow Sword Dance" with their own eyes, and then ran to Hattori Heiji and whispered, "It's just projection imaging. They haven't seen this before, so they were fooled by this trick."

Hattori Heiji understood and then took the initiative to ask: "Chiyo... Mr. Ichiro, may I ask where is the instrument you are using?"

Chiyoichiro's eyes flickered, and he felt a little uneasy, but the principle of "Silhouette Sword Dance" was no secret, and he had nothing to hide. He asked the other islanders to stay where they were, and led everyone to the spotlight.

It was an instrument similar to a stage light. It was not very big, but not light either. It was still a bit difficult for an adult to hold it.

Everyone found that there was a deep drag mark on the ground here, as if someone had used it.

"Has this thing always been placed here?" asked Hattori Heiji.

Chiyoichiro nodded: "Yes."

On the night he killed Chiyo Hayato, he did not move, but lured people to the corresponding positions.

Chiyo Yugo also nodded: "Indeed, this thing has always been placed here and is usually not moved."

As Chiyo Hayato's confidant, he naturally knew about this.

Maori Kogoro held his chin in his hand and said, "That's strange. Why are there such obvious drag marks under this instrument?"

Conan and Hattori Heiji looked in the direction of the trace left by the instrument, then turned their heads at the same time to look in the direction of the shadow dancing with the sword outside the bamboo forest, with an expression of understanding on their faces.

Light and shadow imaging, things appear larger when closer and smaller when farther away!

"I understand."

Hattori Heiji stood up straight. "Actually, the person behind the 'dancing sword figure' is not the island owner, but a rather skinny young man!"

"What?" Everyone was shocked.

Chiyoichiro's eyes narrowed suddenly.

"I guess he's impersonating the island owner for some purpose, trying to cover up his death." Hattori Heiji pointed at the marks on the ground. "But his figure is still too small, very different from the island owner's figure. So he moved the light closer to make himself taller, just like the island owner."

The traces on the ground were probably left by the person who didn't have enough strength and had to drag the person by force.

Conan added at the right moment: "I've also asked the other children, and they all said that the island owner has indeed been practicing the most basic swordsmanship these days, and the movements are not very advanced."

The children were simple-minded and didn’t think anything was wrong. Instead, they watched with great interest.

Little did they know that the island owner had died long ago.

After listening to the analysis, everyone understood.

Chiyoichiro became a little impatient: "Who is it? Who wants to do this?"

Was he there that night? Did he see everything?

There was a murderous look in Chiyoichiro's eyes.

"Speaking of which, there's another strange thing." At this moment, the white-haired young man, who had been silent until then, suddenly spoke up. "If it weren't for Nanauchi Sukuya's death, we wouldn't have discovered that the island owner had changed. And in Nanauchi Sukuya's case, the murderer seemed to be using the weak to defeat the strong."

These words made everyone even more suspicious.

Lin Zhaowu glanced at Baichuanqiu and took the initiative to say, "Also, if I remember correctly, Mr. Chiyoichiro seems to be Kusunoki Sukuya's teacher. You two came to the island with us."

Is Kusunoki Sukuya in cahoots with Chiyoichiro?

Chiyo Yugo's expression turned cold.

They have no idea about this!

At this moment, Baichuan Qiu bent down and turned on the lights in front of everyone.

Even though it was daytime, everyone's eyes were flashed.

"Eh? Sorry." The young man turned off the light and looked up, a half-hearted apology on his face. "I didn't expect the light to be so glaring."

As soon as these words came out, many people present felt as if lightning had struck their minds, and an incredible thought arose in their hearts -

Chiyoichiro, could that be the method you're using?

That's too unsportsmanlike!

Chiyo Yugo looked Chiyo Ichiro up and down with suspicion: "When did you compete with the island master? Why didn't you inform everyone? Are you feeling guilty?"

Chiyoichiro directly retorted: "Whatever you say, do you have any evidence?"

Chiyo Yugo sneered: "Then your position is not legitimate."

Chiyoichiro unsheathed his sword in an instant: "Okay, then I want to see who dares to challenge me?"

The old man's eyes were sharp and cold as he slowly swept over the people around him. The arrogance of a superior was fully revealed at this moment.

"Who dares?"

The sword light was deep and cold, with a hint of chill. Hattori Heiji and Conan had subconsciously stood in front of the two girls.

——This person simply doesn’t intend to pretend anymore and wants to suppress it with force!

The old people on the island were silent, as were Chiyo Yugo and the confidants left behind by Chiyo Hayato, and the outsiders who had watched the whole process did not dare to speak.

The old island owner, Chiyoichiro, was able to stay in the position of island owner for more than 20 years, and he is no pushover.

No one knows how many challengers on the island he has killed.

Now that Chiyo Hayato is dead, who dares to accept the challenge?

However, someone finally stood up.

"I dare!"

Everyone looked and saw a swordsman holding a sword and dressed simply.

Hattori Heiji recognized that the opponent was one of the top four contestants in this competition!

The top four winners of this competition were Hattori Heiji, Hayashi Zhaowu, Sakuta and the islander of Matsuura Island, Chiyo Shoma.

The other person was about 25 years old, a young man about the same age as Lin Zhaowu. He was considered a new force on the island and had very good kendo skills. Perhaps after a few more years of development, he might become the future owner of the island.

Now he stood up purely for the justice in his heart and his admiration for the island owner Chiyo Hayato.

"I've competed with the island master several times before, and I know his level best. If you can't even beat me, it only means that you used trickery to kill the island master!"

The young man raised his sword and said, "It just so happens that I am one of the top four contestants in this year's competition. I want to challenge the island owner directly. Do you dare to accept?"

Chiyoichiro stared at this fearless young man with resentment in his heart.

Good, very good, today he will kill the chicken to scare the monkey! He wants to see who on this island dares to disrespect him!
