The refreshing sunlight came through the window and shone on the black boxer briefs.
Sakaki Makoto yawned and sat up.
He shook his heavy head and gradually regained consciousness.
I had a good sleep last night.
The room has excellent sound insulation, and you can hardly hear any noise above 10 decibels. It can help people fall into deep sleep, promote metabolism and relieve physical fatigue.
Picking up the bottle of mineral water on the table and unscrewing it, Sakaki Makoto walked to the window, intending to enjoy the morning sea view.
A thin gray fog was spreading over the sea, and visibility was low.
The tides kept hitting the beach, and it was high tide again.
Boom, boom, boom!
There was a knock on the door.
Sakaki Makoto put on his clothes and opened the door.
Rumiko Takayama was standing at the door, wearing sneakers, apparently planning to go for a morning jog.
"Cheng!"
"Something happened!"
.............
Many villagers gathered at the dock at the entrance of the village.
The discussions were so dense that they were like a swarm of flies, buzzing non-stop.
In the circle surrounded by the villagers, a long-faced man with a slicked-back mustache said to the girl next to him with a serious face:
"Lan, go call the police."
"I didn't expect that we would encounter a murder case as soon as we arrived at Moon Shadow Island..."
Conan stood beside him, his chin resting on his hand, staring at the corpse in front of him thoughtfully.
They received a strange invitation letter yesterday.
A man named Keiji Aso invested 500,000 yen and invited Kogoro Mori to come to Tsukikage Island.
But he didn't specify what he was asked to investigate.
According to industry practice, the price for hiring a private detective is more than 300,000 yen, depending on the circumstances of the case.
Doing business requires credibility.
Now that the full payment has been received, we cannot ruin the reputation.
So the next morning, Kogoro Mouri took Ran Mouri and Conan to Tsukikage Island.
only....
As soon as they got off the boat, they found a group of people gathered together.
Crime scene.
"Make way, make way!"
Two people, a man and a woman, squeezed in from outside the crowd.
"Mr. Sakaki Makoto!"
Maori Kogoro was very surprised when he saw the person coming:
"Why are you here too?"
Conan glanced at the corpse on the ground and had a bad guess in his mind.
This person...
Could it be that Sakaki Makoto killed him?
Although no examination has been conducted yet, the cause of death is not certain, but...
Judging from the scar on the back of the victim's head, it is very likely that he was murdered.
but....
If Makoto Sakaki took action, no one would be able to find the body.
Exclude. Exclude.
Looking at Kogoro Mouri and Conan, Makoto Sakaki couldn't help but cover his face.
Why are you guys here again?...
He had the same question.
No matter where he went, there seemed to be the shadow of Kudo Shinichi.
And wherever Kudo Shinichi goes, murders occur without exception.
Makoto Sakaki once thought that if he wanted to make money, he would take Conan for a walk around Tokyo.
It is guaranteed that there will be endless cases to solve and endless rewards to be won.
poisonous.
“I’m here for tourism.”
Makoto Sakaki answered Kogoro Mori's question:
"Mr. Maori, are you also traveling to Moon Shadow Island?"
"No."
Maori Kogoro shook his head and took out the invitation letter:
"We were invited here."
us?
Sakaki glanced at Conan and thought about what Maori Kogoro did before....
It seemed like I suddenly understood something.
They are not ordinary people...
Sakaki Makoto put on gloves and began to examine the body.
Height about 1.75 meters, male, normal development, average physique, no corruption, gigantism, corpse spots appeared...
The skin is pale, the face is bruised, the body is slightly swollen and wrinkled, the lips are chapped and cyanotic, and the pupils are constricted....
The suit had a lot of scratches on it, but otherwise the garment was in good condition.
For corpses soaked in water, livor mortis forms slowly. Due to the low water temperature, the oxygen and blood protein in the blood are not easily decomposed, so the livor mortis is usually light in color.
The body was not corrupted and there was no sign of glove-like skin shedding, indicating that the body had not been soaked in water for too long....
Sakaki opened the mouth and nose of the corpse and found few foreign objects after inspection. No sand or diatom flocs had entered the trachea. At the same time...
When pressing the lungs, they are stiff but not bulging.
There were multiple fractures on the body, but there were no other fighting injuries except for a severe blunt injury to the back of the head with bruises.
After this examination, Makoto Sakaki could roughly guess the cause of death.
But he had no tools at hand and he was not a forensic doctor, so he could only perform a simple external examination.
One thing he was sure of.
The opponent was first killed and then thrown into the sea.
Moreover, the lips were cyanotic and the pupils were constricted, all features pointing to poisoning.
But he couldn't determine what the poison was.
"Do you find it strange too?"
Conan's big head came forward.
"I checked the body before you came."
"The body was dumped after death. This is a homicide."
"Um...."
Sakaki Makoto didn't mind sharing his test results with him:
"The body had multiple blunt force fractures."
"There are so many fracture points, it's as if someone hit it with a hammer..."
"I doubt...."
Pointing to the scratches on the corpse's clothes, Sakaki Makoto said:
"The deceased was killed and then pushed off the cliff."
