After all, according to the "Law of Science", there will never be useless information at the crime scene, and the criminal certainly could not get close to this isolated island before the death of the deceased.
Then, the victim will naturally find ways to leave a death message in the hope that the police can detect the criminal and help her get revenge.
What, you said it was an accident?
Conan was standing next to him, could it be an accident?
"This is a corner rock. Adults don't fish here because of taboos, so the chances are high that the deceased committed suicide."
Conan stared at the inscription on the rock wall and fell into deep thought: "But if it is a message of death, what does this message mean?"
"We know too little information. Let's wait for the local criminals to come." Tang Ze said.
The place they are fishing today is in Kanagawa Prefecture. Although it belongs to the Tokyo metropolitan area, it is no longer under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Police Department.
As for the criminal from Kanagawa Prefecture, he is also an old acquaintance.
——Among the Yokomizo brothers, Shigego Yokomizo has a serious and cold personality. Unlike his brother, he is very disgusted with detectives.
After rushing to the scene and learning from Tang Ze about the general situation when everyone found the body, Yokomizo Shigego nodded and immediately walked over to the body and squatted down: "Let me take a look at the body first."
Although Karasawa had previously outlined the identification of the body, Yokomizo Shigego insisted on examining the body himself.
Although his autopsy skills were questioned, Tang Ze was not angry at all. Instead, he understood the other party's behavior.
It is true that this style of character is not pleasing, but Tang Ze feels that this rigid character is very suitable for investigating the case. At least he will not be deceived by other people's omissions or misleadings.
In fact, Conan, Hattori Heiji and himself all have the same characteristics.
If conditions permit, even if the condition of the body has already been determined by a forensic doctor, I will still personally inspect it.
“Judging from the degree of retinal cloudiness, the person had been dead for five or six hours.
After inspecting the body, Yokomizo Shigego couldn't help but sigh, "How tragic! Judging from her condition, she hasn't eaten or drunk anything in at least three days."
"Judging from the diving suit and oxygen tank the deceased was wearing, it seems that he had an accident while diving and then struggled to escape to Yijiao Rock.
But because of the legend of the sea dragon here, no ship came to rescue him, and he has died tragically to this day."
Tang Ze said from the side: "But this is just an illusion created by the criminal. This case is a homicide without a doubt!"
"Yes, perhaps ordinary criminals might be fooled, but obviously we are not!"
Hearing Tang Ze's words, Yokomizo Shigego nodded in agreement, "The deceased's lipstick has revealed a flaw!"
"She clearly had lipstick on her lips, and it was a bit messy, but there wasn't a trace of lipstick on the regulator."
Tang Ze touched his chin and pondered, "From this point of view, the criminal must have predicted the time of death of the deceased, and then came to the island and replaced the other party's previous regulator.
It's very likely that the other party had previously tampered with the deceased's regulator, forcing him onto a nearby rocky corner."
"In short, although we don't know the criminal's purpose, we can confirm that this is a murder case!" Yokomizo Shigego looked at Tang Ze and asked, "By the way, besides those few words on the flippers, did you find anything else?"
"We found the fins in the cracks, but there weren't any clues." Tang Ze said, "The names of the four fish are the only trace of human activity."
"It looks like a joke, just carving a random fish." Yokomizo Shigego rubbed his chin and pondered, "Does it have any connection to the case..."
"That's not right, Yokomizo." At this moment, the sailor uncle next to him suddenly came over and greeted Yokomizo Shigeo.
"Huh? Isn't that Iida-san?" Yokomizo Shigego asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"I'm responsible for picking them up." Jingtian waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this for now. What you said before was not right.
Of these four kinds of fish, three are sea fish, but carp cannot be caught in the sea."
"That's true..." Yokomizo Shigego nodded after hearing the other party's reminder, and then asked, "So you brought them here?"
"The children want to receive the blessing of Lord Hailong and become good at swimming."
Jingtian said this while looking at Yokomizo Shigego with a smile, "When my father brought you here as a child, you were scared to death and kept clinging to me tightly.
By the way, how is your brother now? I remember that he was so scared that he didn’t even dare to get off the boat.
"Thanks to you, my brother is still a landlubber." Upon hearing this, Yokomizo Shigego's face was filled with memories of the past, as if he couldn't bear to look back.
"Hey, don't even think about it being a blessing, it's actually having the opposite effect..." Conan, who was standing by, couldn't help but complain in his heart after hearing what Yokomizo Shigego said.
"Let's not talk about that anymore. The most urgent thing now is to understand the words engraved on the rock wall." Yokomizo Shigego looked at the fish names on the rock wall and said, "This isn't Ryugu City, why would they carve these words here?"
"It's basically confirmed to be a death message."
Tang Ze handed a diving watch to the local man and said, "I found this when I was searching for a corner rock before you came. You can see that the edge is badly worn.
Furthermore, the width of the wear on the edge of the watch matches the width of the strokes of the four fish characters carved on the wall, so this is likely a death message left by the deceased before his death."
