Chapter 97

After dinner, it happened to be the time for the public lecture. Outside the citizen hall, there were a lot of waiting people, talking about it, and looking forward to it.

But now uncle Maori looks drunk

"Uncle is really beautiful."

Gao Cheng is not interested in the speech, so he takes this opportunity to look around.

There is a small house next to the citizen's museum with the sign of "Navy information Museum". He quietly pushed the door and found that there are many things in the house, most of which are related to ships. There is also a model of "Navy ship". There are also some pictures on the walls around, which are painted with pictures of the Navy fighting. It looks like a small museum.

Inside, a pair of ancient Japanese general's armor appears in front of you. Sitting there as a whole, it looks as if the ancient general is still alive. The ferocious face armor is a little terrifying.

It should only be used to attract tourists. It has nothing to do with treasure

Gao Cheng watched for a while, saw someone notice here, and quickly left the room.

"Zhensi?" Conan came over in surprise. "What are you doing?"

"Ah? No, I'm just looking around, "Gao Cheng said with a smile." what about you? Why don't you stay with sister LAN? "

"Uncle Maori is still drinking," Conan said gloomily. "I really convinced him that he was going to give a speech soon. Maybe it would make us lose face in the end."

"Conan! Here you are The little girl ran with Lingling three times, put her arms around Conan and said, "there's nothing to see here. Let's go. I'll take you to a fun place!"

"Where are you going?"

"Behind the stage, it's much more interesting there than here."

The little girl cheerfully pulls Conan to the back of the citizen hall. Gao Cheng turns his lips in the same place. He is not interested in playing with the children, but he thinks that the little girl is the village head Qian Jin, so he goes to have a look.

"Well?"

At the back door, Gao Cheng suddenly notices two figures in the woods on the other side.

One is a thin man with long hair, and the other is Yasuo Uehara, a former travel agency employee.

"Long time no see, Aoki," Yasuo Uehara stopped in front of the man, took off his sunglasses and looked at the man whose hair covered half of his face. "But I will never forget your face!"

"I don't know what you're talking about," the man was surprised when he saw Yasuo Uehara. "I'm just a lighthouse guard. My name is Hamada..."

"Are you kidding?" Shehara raised the man's collar, raised his hair and found that half of his face was burned.

"You..."

The man broke away from Shangyuan and said, "didn't I say you recognized the wrong person? Let go of me

"Even if you turn into ashes, I know you, Aoki!"

Gao Cheng hides to one side, silently watching the two leave one after another.

It's not just Yasuo Uehara. This lighthouse guard is weird. There seems to be some secret in it. I don't know if it has something to do with this treasure.

……

The citizens hall, as a place where the village usually holds activities, is full of villagers. On the front stage, there is a banner of "famous detective Mr. Maori Kogoro's speech" and a big colored ball with ribbons.

"So now we welcome the world famous detective Maori Kogoro to the stage!"

"Thank you." In the continuous applause, Maori Kogoro staggered out of the stage, but before he got to the podium, he fell into the mud.

"What a shame," Xiao Lan blushed. "Can he really make a speech when he's so drunk?"

"Probably." Conan looked at the uncle who couldn't stand steadily, and felt suspended enough.

"It seems that the famous detective will also feel stage fright, ha ha," the old man in charge of the host said with a cold sweat. "Today, in memory of Mr. Maori's visit to the island, I specially prepared a big colored ball for Mr. Maori to pull..."

Gao Cheng was still thinking about what he saw in the woods. He went to the side of the stage, found sanshang Lingling and asked, "do you know the lighthouse guard named Hamada?"

"Lighthouse guard?" "I only know that he is a strange person. He doesn't usually associate with people on the island, and he often goes to the cave where everyone is not very close to. I don't know what to do in it..." she said

"Cave?"

"The cave cursed by the water army..."

"Bang!" Suddenly, there was a commotion in the direction of the stage, and uncle Maori kept crying.

"What's the matter?" Gao Cheng rushes forward in an emergency and finds that the big colored ball has fallen down for some reason, almost hitting uncle. At the moment, flames are burning in the middle of the stage, even uncle's butt is lit.

"Oh! It burns me to death Uncle pouted his burning butt and woke up completely drunk.

"Daddy

In the chaos, Xiao Lan quickly took the nearby fire extinguisher and rushed to put out the fire on uncle's butt. Soon the fire on the stage was put out by others, but the villagers on the scene were still quite frightened.

"It's the ghost of the water army again!"“ Run“ Calm down! Don't panic Gao Cheng silently follows Conan to the middle of the stage. There is a strong smell of gasoline in the wreckage of the colored ball, and there is a device that can ignite gasoline as soon as you pull the ribbon. It's someone who wants to kill uncle Maori... Gao Cheng's eyes are tight and he looks at all the people present. Uncle should not offend anyone. The only conflict is the ghost ship and the gold nuggets. It seems that someone thinks uncle is in the way. At night, the bright moon like a jade plate hangs in the clear night sky, and the waves and wind surround the island. In shanzhuangyuan, the hotel where Maori and his party stayed, the injured uncle pouted his buttocks in the cold compress room and looked angrily at village head sanshang: "village head, what's the matter? After all, you asked me to come here, and I almost died today The village head apologized and said, "I'm really sorry for this. I didn't expect that Mr. Maori would be involved in such an accident... Please forgive me!"“ accident? It's clearly someone who deliberately arranged it! "“ No, it's just that we accidentally put the colored ball into the gasoline tank when we placed it, and the leakage caused the accident. "“ But... "I've already explained it to you The village eyes Yin cruel way, "absolutely can't be wrong!"“ Hum, is there any reason why you don't want the police to take over this Uncle Maori said with a smile, "you don't want to give the gold to the government even if you find it, do you? If the police come here, your plan will be in vain Village head sanshang was silent for a while in a cold sweat. He suddenly opened his face and said with a smile, "Mr. Maori, you just need to find the location of those gold nuggets quietly!"“ What are you talking about? "“ Hum, if you disobey me, I don't guarantee that you can leave here safely, "sanshang hum got up and walked out of the room with a smile." if the liaison ship doesn't have my permission, it's impossible to ship. I think you'll think about it this evening. "“ Damn it Uncle Maori was so angry that he couldn't even care about the pain in his buttocks. "He threatened me!"“ It seems that we have arrived at a unreasonable place... "Gao Cheng and Conan sat on one side, watching village head sanshang leave silently. Because of the appearance of the ghost ship, this island seems to be involved in a whirlpool. Uncle Maori doesn't know whether it's lucky or not“ I'm so sorry, "old man Muxia came into the room." the reason why our village head did this is for the sake of this island. Please rest assured that I'll arrange a boat to send some of you back tomorrow. To tell you the truth, I can still be the master of small fishing boats. "“ No, I won't go now! " Uncle gambled, "if I leave like this, where can I put the name of Maori Kogoro, the world famous detective?" Gao Cheng raises his eyebrows and gives uncle a thumbs up. It's dangerous to stay, but he doesn't want to be sent back tomorrow, at least until the gold is found. As for the safety of the uncle, he will secretly stare, and after the scene of the speech, the killer should also be restrained.
