Chapter 3167 3179 [Movie Review of Curacao]
"Yes." After Suzuki Sonoko said this, Mao Lilan also realized the problem belatedly. She looked at the watch and frowned worriedly, "It has been more than an hour since the other crew members returned to the ship...I hope she won't be in trouble."
Suzuki Sonoko recalled the scene of the black pearl-like woman diving into the sea as soon as she arrived on the island, and shook her head optimistically: "I think she may have forgotten the time while diving - for those who live by the sea, entering the sea must be like returning home."
Curacao: “…” Ha, you acted so well, like entering the sea was like going home… You might as well just say that she died in the sea.
Next to them, Conan and Hattori Heiji, who were immersed in solving puzzles, felt a jolt in their hearts when they heard these words, and had a bad feeling.
They looked at each other, stood up, and strode out under the puzzled gazes of the crew members.
Curacao: "..." The two here were a little stiff again - it was just that one crew member was late, and only an hour late, how could normal people be so anxious? Unless they were sure that the woman who didn't come back had an accident. Humph, they are still too young after all.
Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Xia also stood up and quickly caught up with the two men.
Curacao nodded slightly: "..." Instead of taking the initiative, he used the excuse of being a companion to go out and look for him. How come Uzo acted so flawlessly when they were the same age?
However, in this case, the slightly abrupt acting of Hattori Heiji and Conan can be explained - if they hadn't rushed out suddenly, this scene would probably have to be filmed until very late, wasting a lot of time.
"Wait." Curacao was commenting secretly in his mind, when suddenly, he woke up with a start and realized that now was not the time to watch the show.
——After the three boys, the two high school girls also rushed out. If I leave these five people and stay on the boat full of crew members...
Thinking of this, even though every hair on his body was resisting getting close to Jiang Xia, reason still made Curacao grit his teeth and follow the two high school girls, chasing after them.
Soon, a group of people ran from the boat to the beach along the pier.
"I'll go this way and you go that way." Hattori Heiji said, and ran to one side.
Jiang Xia looked at him and turned to the other side: This is an oval-shaped island. Just by running along the beach, you can search the entire shore.
The two high school girls slowly understood what was going on. Although they didn't know why they were so anxious, they joined the search without saying a word.
…
The crowd split into two groups, running along the coast while loudly calling out Miss Taira's name.
They looked carefully at the sea and at the dense woods as far as they could see, but they saw nothing.
After running across half of the island, Jiang Xia suddenly stopped and saw Hattori Heiji running towards him, and a figure lying quietly on the ground between the two of them.
——Black Pearl clasped her hands in front of her chest and lay motionless on the shore. Her legs were constantly washed by the waves, and her upper body was lying on the wet beach. Her whole expression was very peaceful.
Suzuki Sonoko: "Is she... asleep?"
Curacao: “…” No, he’s obviously dead.
Mao Lilan discovered something. She stammered, "Why are there two lines of words here?"
Jiang Xia lowered his head and looked towards the beach, and saw someone had written a few simple words next to the dead man's head:
[I am the messenger of Hades]
…
"how so……"
A few minutes later, the crew got the news and all ran off the boat and gathered around.
Jiang Xia looked at the condition of the body and said simply: "The time of death was about two hours ago, and the cause of death was the strangulation mark on the neck."
He pointed to the marks above the neckline of the deceased: "He must have been strangled with a thin rope or something like that."
Hattori Heiji looked at the hands and feet of the corpse: "There are some small scratches on the hands and feet, but they are definitely not fatal. These must have been scratched by weeds or branches when the deceased was struggling."
"So the first crime scene was actually the woods. After killing Miss Taira, the murderer moved her to the shore and placed her in the current state." Hattori Heiji touched his chin. "Although the time of death has passed for a full two hours, the murderer must have moved the body out and placed it on the shore not long ago."
The program director looked at the scene and sighed in awe: "We haven't figured out the last corpse and the mysterious text beside it yet, and now there's another corpse and new mysterious text."
When the other crew members heard this, they came to their senses and looked at the words on the beach: "'I am a messenger from the underworld'... What the hell! It's just a trick."
The deputy captain suddenly remembered something and looked at Hattori Heiji: "How do you know that the murderer brought the body here not long ago? Did you see that person when you chased after him?"
Hattori Heiji shook his head and pointed to the brown sand - the deceased was lying right on the dividing line between the waves and the shore. The sand where she was lying was very dark in color, obviously having just been soaked in water, while one or two meters away from her head was slightly drier light-colored sand.
This also means that...
"The sand on the beach where the body is lying is very wet. It should be a place that was covered by the waves when the tide was high." Hattori Heiji raised his hand and gestured:
"And now, the waves have receded, but the words next to the body have not been washed away - that is to say, the murderer did not place the body before the high tide, but moved the body here when the tide began to recede."
Conan nodded vigorously after hearing this: These are all what he wanted to say. If it weren't for this suspicious lawyer next to him, he would have happily joined in the reasoning... Damn, from every angle, this organization is really sinful.
Hattori Heiji didn't notice his friend's anxiety. It was rare that Jiang Xia didn't say this before him. He happily enjoyed this hard-earned opportunity to reason and continued quickly:
"Thinking deeper, the body was found almost directly opposite the ship's berth, which is the farthest point on the entire island from our ship. And an hour ago, everyone except the deceased had returned to the ship..."
As Curacao listened, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
She wanted to ask something, but was afraid that if she spoke, it would attract Wu Zuo's attention, so she had to swallow her words silently.
Just as she was getting anxious, a voice came from the side, and Suzuki Sonoko asked what she wanted to say: "In other words, the murderer is not among us, but someone else?"
