Conan's First Love is a Profiler

Chapter 186 Wuti Island (Wuti Chapter)
"This murder case is a revenge drama disguised as a kidnapping case. And the only one who could succeed under such circumstances is you."

A man in a brown windbreaker, holding a pipe in his right hand, came into the corridor.

In front of him was a middle-aged man with gray hair, dressed in aristocratic clothes, holding a goblet filled with scarlet wine.

"Baron, you are the criminal!" He pointed at the other party.

The baron turned around, looked at him and smiled, "As expected of you, you are the famous detective Kenichi Takatsu. Cheers to your famous reasoning."

After saying this, the baron took a sip of the red wine in the glass.

"Well?"

The Baron's expression suddenly became painful, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp shattering sound.

"Not good!"

The detective immediately ran to the fallen Baron, calling out to him and even trying to wake him up, but it was of no use.

"Click! It's done."

"It's done. It's OK."

It turned out that the crew was just filming a scene.

The man playing the detective breathed a sigh of relief and began calling out to Shinji Totake who was lying on the ground, but there was still no response from the other party.

Tao Shan Shoushu finally realized that something was wrong and immediately shouted to the side: "Director, Senior Dotake is dead!"

"Someone call an ambulance!"

"Senior Du Zhu!"

"Hey, call now!"

The people on the field were suddenly in chaos.

At this time, a woman with a bob haircut left in a hurry.

Not long after, the police finally arrived at the scene.

The deceased, Shinji Mitake, was 55 years old and a TV actor, but not very famous.

The cause of death was potassium cyanide poisoning, which was mixed in the red wine.

In the locker room, a notebook was found in the deceased's bag hanging on the clothes hanger, with "Records of Wuti Village" written on the cover.

When I opened it, I found that apart from some introductions to the local customs and culture, there was only a crow feather stuck in the notebook.

At the same time, Kogoro Mori received an invitation from a drama crew to make a special appearance.

The location for the filming was originally Okinawa.

But due to the tight budget, they had to choose a place called "Wu Ti Island" at the southern tip of the Izu Islands.

"At the end of the vast ocean, a small island is vaguely visible; a crow said, if you want the treasure, you must drink it all, otherwise you will return empty-handed; the pure black crow cries, crying with the treasure in its arms"

This is a widely sung nursery rhyme in Wuti Village.

The lyrics were also written at the end of the notebook, and the music score was also drawn.

the next day.

At the ferry transfer point, 98 miles away from Wuti Village.

In addition to the Mori family, there are director Shinya Mobara, screenwriter Yuji Koyama, lead actor Moto Nawagawa, and agent Akiko Karasugami.

There was also a woman wearing a black baseball cap with the brim pulled down and a white coat.

"The ferry to Wuti Island is about to depart now—"

Wuti Island is a small island with a population of only 300 people, and most of the islanders make a living by fishing.

Wushen Qiuzi was born on Wuti Island and lived in Wuti Village until she was eighteen years old.

"I heard that there is a legend of treasure in Wuti Village, right?"

"Treasure legend?" Everyone seemed a little surprised.

"Yes." The woman in white said, taking out the record and saying, "There is a relevant description in it."

"Can you lend it to me to take a look?"

"Please come in." After saying that, she handed the notebook to Shigeya Mohara.

There is a huge treasure hidden in Wuti Village.

There were many pirates who wanted to seize this treasure and land on the island.

According to the treasure legend, in order to protect the precious treasure, the village chief used clever words to trick the pirates into drinking poisoned wine, thus killing all the pirates.

However, the Pirate King was furious when he learned this.

In order to avenge the dead pirates, he attacked the village.

The villagers' desperate cries for help reached the Black God.

The Black God transformed into a sky full of crows, attacked the pirates, drove them to the Black Cliff, and then shot down the pirates one by one from the cliff.

Save the villagers and treasure from the pirates.

And to this day, Lord Wu Shen still protects the village and the treasure.

"That's all superstition."

Wushen Qiuzi said: "The legend of treasure is just to fool children. Wuti Village is just an ordinary island."

"You're here again." Shigehara Shinya looked at her and said with a smile: "Anyway, this is also a small pleasure after landing."

"Ah, I can see the island!"

Nawakawamoto stood up and shouted in surprise while looking at the small island not far away.

As we got closer to the island, there were more and more crows circling in the sky and around us.

Not long after, the ferry finally docked.

There is no convenient means of transportation on the island, so naturally there will be no welcoming vehicles.

But fortunately, Karasami Akiko grew up here, so she could naturally arrange accommodation for several people at home.

The woman in white left immediately after getting off the boat, heading in the opposite direction from them.

When the group reached a fork in the road, they saw several people with scarves on their heads and holding some wooden boards and sticks in their hands walking past them.

Xiaoshan Yuzhi felt a little strange: "Excuse me, what is that?"

"The day after tomorrow, a nearby shrine will hold a Utsumejin festival."

The Wuti Myojin Festival is a festival where people pray to Wuti Myojin for peace in the village.

"let's go."

After everyone turned around and left, the villagers stopped and looked back at them at the same time.

When the group arrived near a large house, they saw a woman who looked to be over 50 years old standing at the door, sweeping the fallen leaves in front of the door with a broom.

"Aunt Chiaki."

She stopped what she was doing and looked at the person who came. She couldn't hide her excitement and feelings, and couldn't help but call out, "Miss Qiuzi! Long time no see."

After saying that, Qian Jing bowed to him.

"Sorry for contacting me suddenly."

"No, you're finally back."

"Is grandma here?" asked Wu Shen Qiuzi.

"Yes. But it's not convenient to meet you now." Qian Jing seemed a little hesitant.

Before he could finish his words, his attention was successfully drawn by a sudden “It hurts!”

I saw a woman with a bob haircut being pulled out of the house by a man with an Einstein hairstyle.

"What are you doing? You're just a servant! It's rare for her to come visit her."

Suddenly, she stopped struggling and looked at the person at the door, looking a little shocked.

"Akiko?"

"Long time no see, Ritsuko."

The woman's name was Ryoko Uesugi, and she was her cousin.

Ritsuko walked up to her, looked at her hatefully and said, "You abandoned the Karasami family, so why are you here now? Don't you want to perform a dance at the festival?"

Wu Shen Qiuzi quickly shook her head and said, "I didn't mean that."

"I'll be frank with you. I'm the one who will inherit the Karasami family, and I'm also the one who will be the Karasami Matsuri. Although Grandma Misa is reluctant to let me inherit the branch family, no one knows when that person will die."

After saying that, Ritsuko glared at her and left in a hurry.

Wu Shen Qiuzi didn't care about the other person's departure. She just looked at the white-haired man and said, "Fu Rong, can you talk to grandma?"

Fu Rong nodded.

"Mr. Mohara, let's go." After turning around and calling, Karasami Akiko said to the person beside her: "Aunt Chiaki, please take them into the house first."

"Yes."

The Wushen family is a famous family that has ruled this village for generations, and the villagers also regard the Wushen family as messengers of God.

Akiko Karasugami is the only successor to the Karasugami family and the bloodline of the main family.

After settling down, Karasugami Akiko and Mobara Shinya waited for Misa's arrival in the reception room.

Soon, the door was pushed open and a woman wearing a kimono came in. She looked still charming, and it was hard to imagine that she was already a grandmother.

As soon as they met, Misa said bluntly: "Akira, you are still alive."

After entering the house, she continued, "It's rare to get in touch once in more than ten years, and it's to film a TV series."

"The Wushen family is a famous and prestigious family that has been in charge of Wuti Village for generations. I have long admired them." Maoyuan Jinya smiled and spoke kindly to him, performing all the etiquette: "Please be sure to give me some favors."

Misa didn't respond at all, and didn't even look at him.

Shigeya Mohara was a little embarrassed, but he still picked up the plan he had prepared long ago and walked over to hand it to the other party.

After Misa took it, she took a look at it and handed it to Furong beside her.

After Fu Rong took it, he understood what she meant and tore the plan into two halves.

"grandmother!"

After Fu Rong finished tearing the plan, he threw it on the ground.

"Qiuzi, don't be so arrogant."

After saying that, Misa looked down at the plan on the ground and said, "Do you think I would allow this? Do you really think so?"

Shinya Mohara looked at the plan on the ground and felt a little distressed.

Just as he was about to reach out to pick it up, Fu Rong immediately walked up and forcibly took him out of the room.

Not long after, Karasugami Akiko walked out of the room with the torn plan in her hand, and finally handed it back to its owner.

"Your grandmother is more difficult to deal with than I thought." Mohara Shinya sighed as he looked at the plan in his hand.

"Feel sorry."

"Forget it, wait two or three days to see the situation, and then come visit again."

After Mohara Shinya finished speaking, he tightened the plan in his hand, turned around and walked into the arranged room.

In the corridor, Karasami Akiko clasped her hands together.
On her right wrist, she wore a silver bracelet with a simple pattern engraved on it as decoration.

"Why did Qiuzi come back now?"

Misa in the room talked to herself, and then An sighed.

She crossed her hands, lowered her head, and looked a little uneasy.

"I'm Chiaki."

A voice was heard outside the door.

"Come in."

After Qianjing opened the door, she said to Misa, "Among the people brought by Miss Akiko, there is one named Maori Kogoro."

"What? Maori Kogoro?" Misa was a little surprised. "What are you doing here at this time?"

After saying that, she looked at the person kneeling in the room and called his name.

Fu Rong understood what she meant, nodded slightly, and left the room.

At this time, the woman in white came to the station to investigate a case that happened twenty-three years ago.

Twenty-three years ago, a man named Shan Gong Sheng Ming came to Wu Ti Island to do some historical and local customs research.

The book "Records of Wuti Village" was written by him.

"I came to this village to take up my post 20 years ago. I don't know about the time before that."

"I see. I thought I could at least find out where he was camping at the time."

"Then let's ask the previous police officer." Iwae Fumio said after sitting down.

"Can we contact him?"

"Anyway, report to the headquarters first and ask them."

Qinghai Chuantang nodded, smiled and thanked him, "Thank you so much."
