Chapter 1108 Surprise may be after disappointment
"Brother Gengyi, that's great, you're fine!"
Conan let out a sigh of relief.
Most of the suppressed anger in my heart seemed to have dissipated.
Immediately afterwards, he looked into the depths of the forest and asked with unclear meaning: "Are you... the only one?"
"Huh...what if?"
Ye Gengyi said coldly, and said in a rhetorical tone: "If it were Matsumoto Koji, do you think he would run out to save you?"
"I...I didn't mean that..." Conan scratched his head in embarrassment.
He really wanted to know whether Matsumoto Koji was still alive, but after seeing Ye Gengyi's very unhappy attitude, he immediately decided to postpone the question.
Huh? I won’t ask anymore…
Ye Gengyi was really a little stunned.
I was just pretending to be a survivor after escaping from death, and had the basic reaction when someone wanted to ask about the safety of the gangster who planned to take my life.
It seems like you didn’t say anything harsh, right?
Unexpectedly, Conan, who is so stubborn, has learned to take care of other people's emotions?
There is progress.
No... we can't think too well of this detective with a '7-second' memory. Maybe he just feels guilty because he failed to stop Iwanaga Joji from killing someone.
Ye Gengyi held the shotgun in his left hand and fumbled for a cane in the bushes. He threw it to Conan and said, "Come to help."
He grabbed the other person's hair with his hands and pulled him up from the ground.
Iwanaga Chenger did not resist and allowed his hands to be tied up with the canes.
"How did the man die? Did he have a weapon hidden on him?"
Although Ye Gengyi was asking Conan, at the same time as he spoke, he had already begun to rummage in Iwanaga Chenger's pockets.
Then, he touched the gold coin and several banknotes that had been soaked by the rain.
The result was a bit beyond expectations. I didn’t expect that the one who died was actually Yoon Doosan Taro... This treasure hunter was so useless...
So, should I still test it?
Ye Gengyi continued to hold the shotgun in his left hand, feeling slightly hesitant.
In his original plan, the winner of the conflict between Iwanaga Jouji and Yin Dou Shantaro should not be the head of the Tourism Section.
After all, he was an experienced treasure hunter. Even if he was a little impulsive, his leg was injured, and his nose was smashed by his own arm crossbow, uh... But he was not so careless that he would be killed by an ordinary person without weapons.
Beat him to death?
Of course, Ye Gengyi also expected the situation in front of him, but the probability of judgment was relatively low. Who would have thought that things would really develop in this direction...
Thinking back to Iwanaga Joji's roar a few minutes ago.
If this gold coin really forms a 'medium', who will it be associated with after the mark is triggered?
After all, Yin Dou Shantaro, who had a direct hatred relationship with Iwanaga Joji, is dead...
As for whether he will become himself, Kogoro Mouri, or even Conan, Ran Mouri, Sonoko Suzuki...
Ye Gengyi thought it would not happen.
After all, there is no direct relationship between them and the greed of Iwanaga Joji and the treasure in the secret room.
When Iwanaga Joji saw this gold coin, he intuitively thought that the treasure should have been secretly taken away by these two treasure hunters.
Therefore, it is impossible for us, and we will not do any act of repentance to Iwanaga Jo'er because of the treasure. Naturally, there will be no cardiac arrest, or behavior similar to that of Kazuo and Takumi jumping off the building.
Then give it a try...
Ye Gengyi thought for a few seconds and came to a conclusion. When he turned the gold coin to his left hand, Conan also responded to his previous question:
"There should be no weapons on him. The stone used in the murder was over there."
A cold, slippery feeling surged into the palm of my hand, and then... alas, it really didn't trigger.
It's a pity that Indosantaro is dead, so there is no way to verify whether my hypothesis is correct or not.
This is the limitation caused by the inability to fully operate the experiment...
Ye Geng shook his head imperceptibly, adjusted his disappointed mood well, walked over to the corpse, and got closer to observe.
The flesh and blood that overflowed from the wound had already swollen and floated under the wash of the rain, and you could vaguely see the exposed white bones and the brain below...
Very cruel and violent.
This time, I underestimated human nature... Ye Gengyi muttered to himself silently.
He turned his attention to the stone next to him.
One end is sharp and the other is thick, similar in shape to a scoop, and the length is about 35 to 40 centimeters.
I have to say that Iwanaga Joji was really lucky to be able to find such a weapon suitable for committing murder.
Leave the body and murder weapon to the police for evidence collection.
Out of a cautious attitude towards things, Ye Gengyi symbolically touched Yin Dou Shan Taro and the stone with his left hand before standing up.
However, the moment his fingers touched the stone, a familiar hot feeling suddenly emerged from the mark.
Thump, thump, thump...
A heartbeat suddenly penetrated into my ears, and the person associated with it happened to be Iwanaga Joji.
That’s okay too…
"Um?"
Ye Geng said softly 'hmm' subconsciously.
"What's the matter, Brother Gengyi?" Conan immediately came up.
How long has this kid been trying to find clues?
A certain professor surnamed Ye, who was thinking about doing research all the time, made a pointless slander and then compiled:
"The bones from the fall are still a little sore."
Oh oh, so that's it...
Knowing that it was not a clue, Conan immediately expressed concern: "Brother Gengyi, are you okay? Well... what happened after you fell off the cliff? Why are you here?"
He had been holding back this question for several minutes and asked it immediately when he got the opportunity.
"My luck wasn't too bad. I happened to fall on a tree on the way down the cliff. Fortunately, I didn't suffer any injuries. I planned to go up to meet you, but unexpectedly a landslide suddenly occurred, so I had to take a detour.
As for why we met here, it was just a coincidence. I didn’t come here to find you, but I wanted to go to the coast..."
Ye Gengyi pointed to a certain direction and added: "Look for the boat that the director of the tourism section took when he came here. Even if you can't take it back for the time being, you can still borrow the supplies on it."
Boat……
Conan was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly lit up.
That’s right! How could you forget this?
With the level of greed shown by the head of the tourism section before, it was impossible to tell anyone about coming to this island to look for treasures. Moreover, he was holding a shotgun at the time, clearly looking like he was ready to move the treasures back.
He definitely sailed here by himself!
Maybe, Iwanaga Joro planned not to visit the island afterwards, and just drove the boat to take the treasure to another place to hide it.
So there should be something to eat up there!
Fortunately, just now I was thinking of looking for some wild fruits in the forest and taking them back to Xiaolan and Yuanzi.
Why didn’t I think of that!
We were fooled... No, Brother Gengyi finally realized it, I was the one who was fooled.
Conan was a little ashamed and a little depressed.
I still need to work hard... A trip to an uninhabited island actually exposed myself to so many problems.
Here, feeling the reaction of the mark, Ye Gengyi did not show any flaws and asked Mr. Iwanaga:
Chapter completed!
