Chapter 1214 1222 [Don’t raise the price yet, wait until we finish talking]
"Sachiko?" Mao Lilan thought the name sounded familiar, and soon she remembered, "Isn't this the sister on the speedboat just now? The one with Mr. Kasuga."
Jiang Xia was about to say something when he suddenly realized something and turned around.
He saw Kasuga Teruhiko standing behind him, looking down at the piece of paper.
Soon, the heir of the Black Skin Consortium waved his hand and said helplessly: "This guy is making trouble again."
"Nonsense?" Suzuki Sonoko asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
"Sachiko always likes to create these ridiculous incidents, trying to make me worry about her, in order to verify how much I love her." Kasuga Teruhiko sighed, "What a cunning little villain."
"..." The four high school students looked at his sweet face and shuddered at the same time, getting goose bumps.
Kasuga Teruhiko seemed to sense their disdain and laughed twice: "Don't worry, I will go find her later. I will go pick out a gift for her first and give it to her after I 'rescue' her - you guys go have fun, don't worry about this."
After saying that, he left quickly without joining the high school students.
…
After he walked away, Mao Lilan touched her arm and said, "Is this the sour smell of love?" It's too choking...
Conan's focus is obviously not in this aspect.
He was more concerned about something else: "I always feel that their relationship is a bit strange. And this note for help doesn't seem like a prank - if Ms. Sachiko is really the kind of person who pursues 'romance' very much, even if it's acting, would she use such a rough mineral water bottle to put the note? A more formal glass bottle would be more appropriate."
"Indeed, what if something really happens to her?" Suzuki Sonoko stroked her chin and pondered like a detective, "Maybe this is a story of the man who cried wolf."
"Then let's go look for it." Seeing them rolling up their sleeves and preparing to set off, Jiang Xia sighed, "Judging from the state of the bottle and the note, it should have been written not long ago - where did it float from? What specific state was it in when you saw it?"
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were stunned, stretched out their hands, and gestured to restore the original scene.
Jiang Xia and Conan read it carefully, then they guessed a direction and went in that direction.
…
After walking for a while, I actually gained something.
Suzuki Sonoko stopped and pointed in the direction of the bay, hesitantly saying, "There seems to be someone over there?"
In addition to the beach, there are also many sea caves and potholes under the cliffs.
What Suzuki Sonoko was pointing at at this time was one of the largest caves.
Conan looked over there and raised his hand to press the button on his glasses.
The lens instantly locked onto the hole, zooming in and magnifying it, allowing him to see the scene clearly: "There really is someone. In a pink swimsuit...ah, it must be Miss Sachiko!"
There is a flat rock near the inside of the cave.
Sachiko Nakamura was lying on it at this time, and it seemed that she was still moving and still alive.
It was high tide now, and soon the tide would flood the cave where she was.
"Why did she suddenly run to that kind of place?" Several high school students became anxious.
Jiang Xia thought about the detective image he should have: "I'll go over and take a look."
Mao Lilan felt unsafe: "But the waves are big and the distance is so far. If you go alone..."
She had never seen Jiang Xia swimming before - whether in the pool or on the beach, Jiang Xia always watched leisurely from the shore, and seemed to dislike the feeling of soaking in the water. And last time in the underwater restaurant, Jiang Xia suddenly died in the sea. If he lost his mind like that again in the middle of swimming this time...
She said decisively: "I'll go too!"
"Let's take this one." Conan's voice came from the side.
The other three people turned around and saw that the elementary school student had dragged out a small boat used to collect garbage on the beach from some corner.
Conan quickly pried open the chain, and the other three people looked at each other silently and also got on the boat.
Jiang Xia sat down and took the oar, looking at the four people standing in line: "..."
At a time like this, shouldn't we leave half of the people on shore so that we can find help?
But on second thought, the police here don't seem very reliable, and there are many murderous groups nearby. It's really safer to go into the cave together than to leave people alone on the shore - although the rising waves look very scary, anyway, with the mermaid and her skills, they won't drown.
…
This small bay not only has big waves, but also has strong undercurrents, which is not very friendly to small boats.
However, after the boat was some distance away from the shore, their rowing towards the cave suddenly became easier.
"It's indeed convenient to go in this way, but when we get out..." Conan was worried for a moment, but soon he became optimistic and stopped thinking about it, "Forget it, anyway, let's save people first. We should have enough time."
The few of them avoided the reefs protruding from the sea, fought against the waves all the way, and arrived at the cave safely.
The four people jumped off the boat and saw Sachiko Nakamura lying face down on wet rocks in a cave not far away.
"Ms. Sachiko!" Mao Lilan ran over quickly and patted her on the shoulder.
Nakamura Sachiko opened her eyes dazedly, looked at them, and recognized them: "It's you..."
As she spoke, she supported her body with some effort and sat up.
"Why are you lying in a place like this?" Suzuki Sonoko thought of the female corpse she had just encountered on the seafloor. Suddenly she remembered something and said in surprise, "You, you are not going to commit suicide!"
"No... it's Huiyan." Nakamura Sachiko pressed her forehead and recalled what happened before:
"He saw that I was unhappy just now, so he said he would take me to dive to relax - he said that when the tide is high, there is a cave that will disappear into the sea, and it will be fun to explore the cave at that time. I didn't want to spoil his fun, so we packed our diving equipment and came here.
"But while waiting for the tide to rise, he handed me a bottle of water. I drank a few sips and suddenly I felt very sleepy and had no strength left. Then he, he took away all the diving equipment right in front of me.
"I only had one drink bottle, so I poured out the water, tore off the bottle label, wrote a note for help, screwed the bottle shut and threw it into the sea, trying my best..."
Conan recalled that Kasuga Teruhiko had supported Dr. Tanaka just now, and couldn't help but frowning: "He actually wants to kill someone because of this?!"
...Another murder case with the same reason.
…
While several people were busy sorting out the case.
Beside him, Jiang Xia silently turned his head to look at the waves behind him, hesitating: Are we going to leave or not? He felt that the sea water was about to pour in.
