It took some time for the World Detective League to respond. After receiving the news from the communications expert, Knight and Kay came to the headquarters to find Hubertus. Their first question was, "Have you found the coordinates of that island?"
Hubertus: "Do you think I'm the GPS system or the BeiDou system? I've already said that it's difficult to locate it with my tracking skills alone, especially on that island where it's basically completely out of range."
"Did the detective who's good at finding maps find anyone?" Knight asked. "The topography and landscape of the island where Kamobashi-senpai is is quite clear, and I looked for my father after he asked for help, but..."
"Mr. Knight doesn't seem too keen on getting involved," Hugh Bitz said, unsurprised. "But he didn't stop you, Knight. You've already made your stance clear, so don't worry too much. The question now is whether there are any detectives skilled in locating the location of Alun and Dududu. According to Alun and Dududu, that location is about to be struck by a meteorite, making it extremely dangerous."
"Can we have a specific time?" an employee of the World Detective Alliance looked up. "If we could have a specific time, maybe we could use astronomy to calculate the location... I wish he were still alive at this moment."
"he……?"
"That's the victim Alice admitted to killing last time. He's not only an expert in astronomy, but also a master at locating locations," the employee said. "If he were still around, he'd probably be able to locate this uninhabited island quickly."
"……astronomy?"
"The livestream Kamo no Hashiro participated in featured a starry sky, and he goes out at night. Even if the sky is cloudy and starless one day, the stars will still be visible away from the city lights. We can then use algorithms like the star-pulling technique and map search to directly locate the longitude and latitude coordinates," the employee said. "But there's nothing we can do now. After all, among us, you're probably the best at tracking, Shubizi."
Hubert: "...This is putting so much pressure on me!"
"What if we start with the people around Alice, Mr. Shubizi?" Knight suddenly thought of something and asked.
"Starting with Alice's close circle?" Kai was also a little surprised. "Who else does she have? Aren't all the important people to her on that island?"
"No, not really. Alice has a brother named Theo Moriarty, who was arrested by Interpol not long ago. Perhaps he can tell us where Alice's uninhabited island is," Knight said. "He's probably still in custody at Scotland Yard."
"That's not far. Knight and I can go ask together," said Shubizi. "We can't help you much right now anyway."

When Kamohashi was on this island, he felt that there was a time difference with East Asia. To be specific, it was during the first few days. He, who had been in Japan for many years, and Toto and Kazama Mari, who were both Japanese, were quite uncomfortable with it. They were still sleepy even when they woke up in the morning. The people who were obviously Europeans were also a little uncomfortable with it. So he guessed that it was probably an island in the ocean near America, and the food that Feia got from fishing every day also confirmed this.
Although Kamohashi Ron had already speculated that they were near America and might be able to locate their location through the stars in the sky at night, the complexity of the calculation would be very slow without the assistance of a computer. The meteorite might have fallen by the time he finished the calculation. However, he still spoke out his speculation. After all, he knew that he was broadcasting live. As long as someone could calculate the specific location through these things, they would be one step closer to being rescued.
But now it's a new day, and when Kamohashi Ron went out, he suddenly found that someone was dead outside, and that person was Eli Moriarty.
The other party's expression looked extremely terrified, as if he had encountered something unbelievable, and it was obvious that he was killed by a mechanism designed by someone. After carefully examining this mechanism, Kamonohashi Ron felt even more surprised -
"This mechanism targets both our cabin and Cesar's cabin." Kamohashi Ron's expression was serious. "Although I know it's targeting me, I'm still a little surprised by this... And is it targeting the wrong person?"
How did Eli Moriarty die?
"And the victim himself must have been surprised by this incident as well," Isshiki Totsumaru said. "Otherwise, his expression wouldn't be so horrified. This trap probably wasn't aimed at him, and the one who set it up might be someone he knows, otherwise he wouldn't be so surprised."
"After Prosecutor Kazama injured him in self-defense, he probably wouldn't have come here unless there was something else." Kamohashi Ron continued to speculate, "And actually, the people living here don't have a good impression of him, so it's not surprising that he was injured by a trap here, so..."
"They're one of their own," Isshiki Dudumaru concluded. "Should we continue investigating?"
"Investigate, right? But don't worry about the others; just let them do what they need to do." Kazama Mari also came over and said, "After all, it's not their responsibility to prosecute and arrest criminals... Oh, Officer Sanwang better come over. If he really doesn't want to, that's fine. One officer and one detective, two guys with the power of arrest and investigation are enough."
Kamohashi Ron lay beside the corpse and took a quick look. After making a simple inference, he discussed it with Kazama Mari. Kazama Mari was silent for a while and said:
"Whether it's the method or the culprit... let's assume the culprit isn't one of us nine. But this raises a very important question: the motive for the murder... Eli and Alice are in cahoots, and his situation is different from Winter's. Winter clearly doesn't trust Alice that much, making her somewhat of an unstable factor. But Eli Moriarty isn't that unstable for Alice."
"Why does there have to be a motive?" Isshiki Todumaru suddenly looked up. "Is it possible that it was manslaughter by mistake?"
Prosecutor Kazama: “!!!”
Kamohashi Ron: "I see, Toto, it seems you've been a great help again. Just keep it up like this. I can't live my life without Toto's help."
Although Isshiki Totumaru didn't know how he helped Kamohashi Ron, he was still very happy to be able to help him, because he and Ron had been persevering like this until now. As for whether Ron still needs him in the future... let's talk about it in the future.
If one day Lun no longer needs me, I will leave Lun and work at the Metropolitan Police Department. It will just be a return to the days before I got to know Lun.

"Officer Isshiki...ah, that sounds too much like a Tutudu. Anyway, Officer Isshiki is a very veteran Interpol officer. He's used legal interrogation methods and tactics to get many suspects to confess, but Theo is too stubborn to pry open his mouth. It's basically impossible to pry open his mouth." Hubertus sighed and looked at Knight and Kai. "Officer Isshiki is now at a stalemate."
"What about other detectives who specialize in verbal and psychological breakthroughs?" Knight asked.
"Detective Alun, known for his ability to think like a criminal, is currently on that island. So is Prosecutor Kazama, known for his skill at verbal confrontation. If they could come, they'd be able to uncover every crime Theo has committed over the years, not just the island's location," Hugh Bize said helplessly. "But this is a completely awful cycle."
They came to try to interrogate Theo in order to save Alun, Dududu and Prosecutor Kazama.
"I remember that Kamobashi-senpai already shared part of the live broadcast with the viewers in their live studio. Is there anyone there who can help?" Knight still didn't give up. "Both Kamobashi-senpai and Isshiki-sensei taught us a lot when we were in Blue. I don't want to give up now if I can help it."
Shubizi thought for a while. He had originally thought there might be a chance, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better.
"Theo is willing to talk now," Isshiki's father said, emerging from the interrogation room. "But he looked shocked, as if he'd just learned something truly horrific. And he's willing to talk only if a murder case is solved."
"Isn't he the one who committed the murder?" Kai snorted coldly and said, "What's going on?"
"Just now, Theo said that Eli Moriarty died on that island." After Isshiki's father finished speaking, Hubic, Kai, and Knight looked at each other. Finally, Hubic asked:
"How did he know for sure that Eli Moriarty was dead?"
"He said he was connected to a communication device with Eli, and if he didn't respond, he must be unconscious or dead. He told us to watch the live broadcast to confirm it," Isshiki's father said. "But judging by his expression, I think what he said must be true."
"But Eli was killed too far away..."
"That's why he decided to tell us where that uninhabited island is."
Shubizi breathed a sigh of relief: "So where is it."
Isshiki's father reported a coordinate, and Shubizi directly transmitted the coordinate to the World Detective League. Dududu, and Alun, you must hold on.

"If it was an accidental killing, we have to consider who the person who set this up originally wanted to kill," said Kazama Jasmine. "This trap looks like it was aimed at you and Cesar. Did you notice it when you went out yesterday?"
"I was with Toto the entire night last night and didn't go out at all, but Cesar should have gone out," Kamohashi Ron said. "He goes out every night."
Kazama Jasmine: “?”
Kazama Jasmine: "How do you know so much about your neighbors? Invading their privacy is not okay, right?"
“It’s just a good relationship.”
"It's not okay to flirt with someone suspicious behind your partner's back, right?"
“…That person isn’t suspicious.”
Isshiki Todumaru was puzzled: "Huh? What do you mean by flirting?" There were also some guys who were suddenly out of the situation.
