Conan's First Love is a Profiler

Chapter 189 The Final Ending of Wuti Island (Wuti Chapter)

Shan Gong Sheng Ming was staying in Wu Ti Village at that time, staying at Shan Quan Fu's farmer's house.

He should have known that the islanders opposed the marriage of Yamaizumi Funo and Masako and that they were planning to escape from the underworld.

And on the day of the incident, Sanmiya Katsuna mysteriously disappeared from the island.

"Mr. Yamamiya, please take Masako and leave quickly. I will stay here to stop the villagers from chasing us."

"No! I don't want to go alone!"

"Ya Zi, the priority is the life of the baby in your belly! It's okay, I will definitely survive and bring Akiko to find you!"

Katsuna Yamamiya did not tell the police the truth, perhaps because he was stopped by Masako.

If the truth came out, everyone would know that she was pregnant with Shanquan Funong's child.

If that happens, your children will be labeled as the descendants of a murderer.

If you do not act when you see what is right, you are not brave.

It is a confession for not being able to clear Shanquan Funong’s grievances.

"Are the autopsy results out?" Qinghai Chuantang called a friend on the street to ask.

"It's out. The cause of death was drowning. But the lungs were not filled with seawater. It was hot spring water containing a large amount of sulfide."

"That's it"

Before he could finish his words, the sound of breaking glass was heard from the room upstairs.

She ran to check, and after turning on the light, she saw a piece of cloth with red words written on it, wrapped in a stone and thrown in together.

If you don't want to die, don't investigate.
So, is this a threatening letter?

Qing Hai Chuantang took a deep breath and then called Okiya Subaru.

"Hello, Akai?"

"Well, can you return the card you took from me before? My window glass was broken. No, I'm not kidding, believe me! No, don't hang up, Akai!"

Haha, I will make a little man to curse you later, and curse you a hundred times every day.

I curse you for getting stuck in your teeth when you drink cold water, and for having to spend double the money on groceries!
Qinghai Chuantang took another deep breath and then exhaled.

As expected, I still have to go to Wuti Island again.

This time, he must use his unique skills to find the secret treasure to make up for his young and fragile heart.

Compass, copper coins, and Luoyang shovel.

everything's ready.

But what Qinghai Chuantang never expected was that he would meet Conan at the ferry terminal the next day.

The other person had a smiling face, like a hunter waiting for his prey.

After arriving at Wu Shen's house, Qing Hai Chuantang explained his purpose and wanted to meet Wu Shen Misa.

"I told you, outsiders are not allowed to enter the village."

Misa said this as soon as she stepped into the reception room, with the word "not welcome" written all over her face.

"I'm so sorry. But I have some questions that I must ask you."

"question?"

Misa seemed to be in a state of excitement. She walked to the main seat and sat down and asked, "What's the problem?"

"In fact, I re-investigated the tragedy that happened on this island 23 years ago."

Yamaizumi Funong did kill the islanders, but that was not out of hatred for the villagers, but for Masako and the child she was carrying.

According to the island's rules, the children of the outsider Shanquan Funong cannot survive.

"And, the one who ordered the killing of her unborn child, Misa-sama, was you, right?"

This series of murders all started from this point.

Therefore, the criminal disguised it as the curse of Lord Wu Shen.

"You seem to know who the criminal is?"

Qinghai Chuantang nodded.

"The criminal who murdered three people is your granddaughter, Karasami Akiko."

After hearing this, Misa smiled and said, "I thought you were going to say something, but it turns out to be nonsense."

The TV show in which Shinji Mitsutake was murdered featured an actress from the agency that Akiko Karasami worked for.

She had seen the script in advance and knew that Shinji Totake would drink in the play.

So, he used his identity to sneak into the filming site, avoiding the eyes and ears of the staff, and mixed potassium cyanide into the wine.

Furthermore, in order to disguise this series of cases as a curse from the black god, the travelogue written by Yamamiya Katsumei was placed in Totake Shinji's bag.

Qinghai Chuantang asked his friends on the road to confirm the surveillance video of the shooting scene.

It is said that at the time of the incident, Akiko Karasugami was present in disguise.

"Then, was it Akiko who pushed Mohara off the Karasuno Cliff?"

"Yes. But the murder of Mobara took place in an open-air bath."

"Didn't that man fall off a cliff and die?"

"That's a smokescreen to disguise it as a nursery rhyme."

The hot spring water detected in Shinya Mohara's lungs is irrefutable evidence.

After hearing this, Misa couldn't help but laugh again and said, "But how is that child going to move from the hot spring to the coast alone?"

"I'm afraid he relied on Fu Rong's help." Conan said, looking at the person next to him.

He lowered his head instantly.

Throwing stones at Qinghai Chuantang's family was also a good thing he did.

"What are you talking about? Is this all just your imagination?"

"No. As for evidence, there is." Conan said, "It's her bracelet."

On the day of the incident, when Akiko Karasugami returned to look for Shinya Mohara, her bracelet had turned black.

There are also sulfides in the open-air hot springs, which can cause metals to undergo sulfidation reactions.

On this island, the only place that can produce such sulfide water is the hot spring, and only men are allowed to enter there.

Without special circumstances, Karasugami Akiko would never set foot in that hot spring.

"Then how was Ritsuko killed? When Ritsuko was killed, Akiko was performing the dance." Misa smiled and said, "It's impossible for that kid to kill Ritsuko."

"This is actually a very simple trap."

Conan explained: "The letter that Ms. Ritsuko got said, 'After the festival, I have something important to discuss. Please wait in the lounge.' And on the table in the lounge was the sacred wine that must be consumed during the festival."

It was because of the local rules that Ritsuko was poisoned.

In other words, this was a remote-controlled murder that killed Ritsuko from a distance while creating an alibi.

"But the only cup that was mixed with poison was Ritsuko's, right? What if Ritsuko chose the one without poison and drank it?"

"Indeed. If the two glasses of wine were of equal volume, this possibility would exist."

However, one of the cups of divine wine was only half a cup, just as the others drank half of it.
Karasami Akiko took advantage of this half-full glass illusion and made Ritsuko choose the poisoned wine. However, the person she really wanted to kill was not Ritsuko, but someone else.

This can be seen from the expression on Karasugami Akiko's face when she saw Ritsuko's body.

"Then, who does Qiuzi want to kill?" Misa said, standing up and looking at Qinghai Chuantang.

"Well," Qinghai Chuantang said with a faint smile, "You should know it very well."

"You saw through all of this."

Misa smiled and admitted generously: "Indeed, I was the one who received the letter from Akiko."

"That's rare. Can I ask you something else? Why did Qiuzi commit such a horrific murder?"

"To protect someone's secret."

"someone?"

At this moment, the door was suddenly opened, Wu Shen Qiuzi ran to Qing Hai Chuan Tang, and hurriedly shook her head and said, "Please stop talking."

What she wanted to protect was the secret of Nawakawamoto's birth.

And Nawagawamoto is Karasugami Akiko's younger brother.

Twenty-three years ago, her mother, Masako Karasami, fled to Tokyo to protect her pregnant child, and shortly before her death, she gave birth to a baby boy.

After Masako's death, the baby boy was placed in a children's welfare home.

And after that, he was adopted by a doctor couple as their son.

"Sure enough. Just as I guessed, the child is Shanquan Funong's child."

"so what?"

Wu Shen Qiuzi looked at her and said, "Do you still want to kill him like his father? Twenty-three years ago, grandma, you planned to kill Shanquan and even deprive the child in his mother's belly."

After discovering this, Masako left Karasugami Akiko and ran away from the island in order to protect the baby in her belly.

In the end, her mother never came to pick her up again.

The suicide note sent to her expressed his confession to her and his hatred for the family rules of the Wu Shen family.

"When I think about my mother's state of mind, I don't want to stay in this house anymore."

Akiko Karasami said with tears in her eyes: "After graduating from high school, I went to Tokyo as if I wanted to escape. Then, at the restaurant where my mother worked, I learned that my mother had given birth to a child, a little life that my mother had risked her life to protect."

But after the child was born, he was placed in a children's welfare home and no news was heard from him since then.

So, Akiko Karasugami continued to work at her current job while looking for her brother.

Miraculously, the younger brother whom he had been looking forward to seeing day and night was found in the troupe.

The younger brother that her mother tried so hard to protect was right in front of her.

"Xiao Yuan, who was free and fighting for his own life, was so brilliant. When I saw Xiao Yuan like this, I made up my mind that this time I would take his place and protect him."

So, he started working hard together with the child.

No matter how small the role, he gave his best performance and was loved by the staff on the set.

Gradually, I got opportunities to play big roles.

At this moment, Shinji Totake noticed Xiao Yuan's identity.

"If you don't want people to know the secret of Xiao Yuan's birth, hand over part of the treasure inherited from the Wu Shen family. That's what the man threatened me with."

Treasures and such things clearly don't exist.

So, the only option is to kill him.

But the nightmare didn't end there.

Shinji Totake, who borrowed money from Shinya Mobara, told him this secret.

So, like Shinji Mitake, Shigehara Shinya also asked for the treasure of the Karasami family, and he also suspected Mitake's murder.

So, the only option was to kill him.

"When I saw my grandmother's deep suspicion about Mao Yuan's death, I became more and more uneasy. One day, Xiao Yuan's identity will be discovered by my grandmother. When I think about this, I can't stop thinking about it."

The person she wanted to call to the lounge was indeed her grandmother, not Ritsuko.

Misa had already seen through her cleverness, so she took advantage of it.

"In the end, I still couldn't hide it from grandma."

As Wu Shen Qiuzi said this, she picked up the wine that she had hidden long ago and drank it all in one gulp.

Just like the cup of divine wine that Ritsuko drank.

"Ms. Akiko!"

"Contact the clinic quickly!"

"I have a request," Karasami Akiko desperately grabbed her clothes and said, "Please don't tell him that Xiao Yuan and I are siblings, and that Xiao Yuan is the blood of the Karasami family. Only the child, please keep this secret."

Qinghai Chuantang nodded and agreed to her request.

"Granny."

Karasugami Akiko looked at Misa and said, "Let's end it here. Grandma also sacrificed herself for this island. Admit your sins, make amends for them, and don't make anyone sad again."

Finally, Karasugami Akiko closed her eyes and stopped breathing.

Misa called out her name, but got no response.

"Ms. Misa."

"It's time for this island to change, even if it's just for Qiuzi."

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Misa hugged Karasugami Akiko, said sorry, cried and called her, but she couldn't call her back.

People often realize the importance of knowing something only after they lose it; people often have to lose something before they regret it.

Maybe sometimes, imperfection becomes a kind of perfection.

Maybe, this is life.

Two weeks later.

Qing Haichuantang came to the filming location of Nawakawamoto and found him.

It is said that Akiko Karasugami went to New York and wanted to start her life again there.

"Why didn't you tell me such an important thing?" He looked a little depressed.

"Maybe, I don't want you to worry about it."

After thinking for a while, Qinghai Chuantang said, "No matter where Miss Qiuzi goes, she is praying for you. So, please don't forget her, and don't forget the important time you spent with Miss Qiuzi."

The media conference on this case allowed her to remain anonymous because the suspect had died and the case was sent for inspection.

It can be considered as fulfilling the promise made to Karasugami Akiko.

The tragedy of Wuti Island is actually somewhat similar to that of Mermaid Island.
