Conan's First Love is a Profiler

Chapter 187 The Curse of the Crow God (Crow’s Cry)
"Ms. Wu Shen."

When Ritsuko opened the wooden fence and was about to go in, someone suddenly called her name from behind.

She turned around and looked at the other person, and felt that he looked slightly familiar.

Hesitantly, he said, "You are the one who came with Qiuzi."

“I’m Mohara from East Bay TV.”

"What do you want from me?"

"Hey, Shinji Mitake who passed away a few days ago, you know him, right?"

Ritsuko's expression suddenly became a little nervous, and a little uneasy.

Shigeya Mohara took a few steps forward and lowered his voice and said, "Actually, I heard something interesting from him. Can we talk about it?"

Akiko Karasugami's father was a fisherman who died in the sea shortly after she was born.

The women of the Wushen family have always had to marry fishermen on the island.

She should have done the same.

"Then Miss Akiko, did you go to Tokyo because you yearn for freedom?"

The sea breeze blows gently, bringing a slight coolness.

"Of course, that's one of the reasons. But it's really a rebellion against my grandmother."

After saying that, Karasami Akiko seemed to finally remember something and said to Xiaolan: "Then I will take my leave here. I still have to go find Mr. Mohara and Mr. Koyama."

At this time, Shinya Mohara and Yuzhi Oyama were soaking in a hot spring in a quiet place.

It is said that this hot spring was built by the men in the village for the purpose of cleansing themselves.

This used to be a village where women were respected over men.

The men were all too scared to raise their heads and could only spend the day in the hot springs.

"But, Mr. Mobara, what are you doing secretly?"

"nothing."

"You're here again." Xiaoshan Yuzhi obviously didn't believe his words, and laughed a few times and said, "Look at your expression, you must be planning something, right? You must have other purposes for coming to this island besides looking at the scenery, right?"

Otherwise, I would never come to shoot in a place like this where there isn't even a hotel.

After washing his face, Shigeya Mohara turned his head and looked at the other party and said, "Forget it, I'll tell you if it goes well."

Nawagawa Moto stayed in the small courtyard, doing skipping rope training.

The protagonist of the script being filmed this time was a track and field athlete, so he wanted to create that kind of body shape as much as possible.

His stage plays are mesmerizing.

I joined my current agency after being invited by Akiko Karasugami who came to see her performance by chance.

"But my parents were very opposed to it. They were both doctors at a university hospital, and the entertainment industry was a completely different world for them."

"They actually agreed with you." Conan blinked.

"Because Miss Akiko went to ask my parents for help." Nawagawa Moto paused and said with a smile: "Sister Akiko is the one who changed my life. So, I have to stand on my own as soon as possible and repay her."

"Excuse me--"

Suddenly, a man's voice came from outside, and it sounded very familiar.

This sound is
Conan hurried over and saw Takagi standing in front of the door.

After checking the call records of the victim Shinji Totake, it was discovered that he and Shinya Mohara were in frequent contact.

But Shigehara Shinya is the director, so it wouldn't be strange even if he knew him.

After night fell, it felt a little strange that there was still no sign of Mohara Shinya and Koyama Yuzhi.

There are no street lights in the village, and once the sun goes down, it is really pitch black.

When Takagi and Conan went out to look for the two, they happened to meet Yuzhi Koyama who was returning with a lantern.

"Mr. Xiaoshan——"

Conan trotted over and asked, "Do you know where Mr. Mohara is?"

"As for Mohara, he was just in the open-air bath with me."

After answering, Xiaoshan Yuzhi looked at Gao Mu, a little puzzled: "Who is this?"

"I'm a detective from the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division." Takagi said as he showed his ID.

"So it turns out that Officer-san is the only natural hot spring for men in the village."

As soon as the words fell, a female voice sounded.

It’s Akiko Karasugami who’s back.

After Takagi explained his purpose, Karasugami Akiko asked Chiaki to prepare another lantern, and brought Takagi and Conan to the open-air hot spring.

The mottled shadows of the trees, coupled with the sound of gurgling water, make people feel a little scared.

However, there was no sign of Shinya Mohara in the hot spring.

There is only one way to get in from the house, so if you pass by it, you will definitely notice it.

Could it be that he ran back quietly?

The three of them returned along the same route and met Kogoro Mouri and Ran on the way, but after asking, they learned that neither of them had seen Shinya Mohara.

There was no trace of him even in any corner of the house.

It's like he suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth.

After a night, Shigeya Mohara still hadn't returned, so Takagi had to ask the villagers to search the mountain.

"It's not good! It's not good! Something big has happened!"

Iwae Fumio yelled, ran into the house in a hurry, and said to Takagi: "A male body was found on the coast!"

what?
Gao Mu was startled and said quickly: "Go!"

On the coast, crows were flying and circling, making creepy cries, like a group of castrated ducks.

Shinya Mohara was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, just below the cliff.

There was no sign of wetness on the clothes, so it was probably because he fell from the cliff.

Qinghai Chuantang, who was hiding in the crowd, quietly took out the notebook and turned to one of the pages: Two crows said, "If you want to get the treasure, jump up."

This is the second verse of the island counting song.

"what--"

Suddenly, someone let out a shrill cry.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at the strange woman with fluffy white hair who had appeared on the cliff at some point in time.

"It's a curse—"

She held a stick in her right hand as a cane, and a string of Buddhist beads in her left hand: "It is the curse of the Lord Crow God! The two crows said that if you want to get the treasure, you must leap, but if you don't fly high, you will return empty-handed."

This is exactly the same as what is recorded in the notebook.

"It's the curse of Lord Wushen! Ah, the curse!" She shook the Buddhist beads in her hand and kept talking.

Although Shigehara Shinya was killed, the clues to the murder of Totake Shinji were not broken.

Because there is another suspect on this island.

"You and Shinji Mitake are husband and wife, right?"

"so what?"

"Five years ago, Mr. Du Zhu took 10 million from you and eloped with a woman on the island."

Ritsuko sat down, with her back to them, and said bitterly, "I finally became the son-in-law and adopted son of the Karasami family. But in the end, that man only married her for money. I don't need a guy like that!"

However, the hatred towards him never disappeared.

"On the day of the incident, you said you were in Tokyo, right?"

Ritsuko's expression became unnatural for a moment: "That's, I went to see Kabuki with my friends."

"But your friend said that you separated from her at one o'clock in the afternoon. The crime happened three hours later."

She turned to look at Gao Mu: "Are you doubting me?"

"At the time of the case, a suspicious woman was photographed running away from the scene. Her features were exactly the same as yours."

"Is it possible to ruin my life for a man like that?" She continued, not knowing whether to explain or cover up, "I am a big shot who inherited the headship of the Karasami family!"

Finally, she raised her voice somewhat unconsciously and yelled at them.

After saying that, Ritsuko suddenly picked up the small jar of rice beside her and threw it at the few people, driving them away.

He yelled, "Get out! Get out!"

At this time, Nawakawamoto was sitting in the courtyard and did not practice as he did before.

"Xiao Yuan, you will take the boat back to Tokyo tomorrow." Karasuma Akiko came to his side and said.

"Huh? Why?" He looked confused and puzzled.

Karasami Akiko patiently explained: "Since Mr. Mohara has passed away, this plan has naturally been aborted. There is no point in keeping it going."

"Where's Sister Qiuzi?"

"I can't leave until things are settled."

"Then I'll come too!"

"No. What if the reporters find out and it becomes big news?"

At this moment, the door next to him suddenly opened, and Misa appeared.

"Akiko, I heard that Mohara's body was found."

The two stood up and walked in front of her.

Wu Shen Qiuzi nodded and responded softly.

"Look, look." Misa's tone suddenly became a little proud, and she said to Fu Rong beside her: "I'll tell you."

After saying that, she looked at the person standing behind him and asked, "Who are you?"

He stepped forward and introduced himself, "I'm the actor Nawakawa Moto."

Misa looked slightly surprised, and slowly took a step forward and asked, "How old is he?"

"Twenty-three."

Misa's expression suddenly turned into one of fear and she suddenly twitched, covering her chest and feeling like she was about to lose her breath.

"Grandma? Grandma! Grandma, cheer up!"

Later, when Misa finally woke up, she found herself lying in the room.

"Lord Misa, are you okay?" Qianjing beside her asked with concern.

With Qian Jing's help, Misa sat up and said, "Akira, there will be the Wu Ti Ming Shen Festival tomorrow, you should go and perform the dance."

"But, isn't Ritsuko the heir of grandma?"

Misa smiled and said, "Can a woman who is obsessed with money and greed be allowed to inherit?"

"I abandoned the women of the Wushen family. If I still go to Qiwu, it would be a bit..." Obviously, Wushen Akiko was a little hesitant.

Misa suddenly grabbed her collar, looked her in the eye and said, "Are you going to disobey me? Do you think I can forgive you for doing this?"

At the same time, Takagi and others found a copy of "Records of Wuti Village" in Mohara Shinya's bag.

It is very likely that he got it from Shinji Mitake.

"But, Mr. Mohara seemed to have just learned about the treasure legend when he heard that person talk about it, right?"

Kogoro Mori was flipping through the travelogue, looking a little confused.

"Mr. Mohara's original purpose may have been to find the treasure. So even if the photography was rejected, it didn't matter."

"What you said makes sense."

Before he could finish his words, Kogoro Mouri suddenly stopped, looked at Conan who had appeared at the side out of nowhere, and slapped him on the head in annoyance.

Scolding: "Children, don't interrupt when adults are talking!"

Conan gritted his teeth and held back the pain, revealing an aggrieved expression.

Maori Kogoro coughed lightly and said, "In other words, coming to Wuti Island to shoot may just be an excuse to come to this island."

But if that’s the case, why did you invite me here?

Could it be that he actually wants me to help him find the whereabouts of the treasure?
Kogoro Mori thought about it in his mind and became more and more certain of his guess.
