Vol 20 Chapter 167: Clear suspicion

"No matter how you look at it, the blood stain has been more than three or four hours."

The young policeman seemed to have just thought of this, and said in amazement: "What to say..."

"And the person who attacked me was not Hamada at all, but he killed Hamada."

As soon as he said this, the noisy villagers gradually calmed down, looking at Maori Kogoro sitting on the boat in disbelief.

Xie Chen continued: "After the murderer killed Hamada, he changed into naval armor to attack me, and finally led me to this place. The purpose was to make me bear the scapegoat of killing Hamada."

"But..." Takeo Mikami opened his mouth, and finally didn't say anything.

Xie Chen said: "This murderer first tied Hamada to the machine room and kept torturing him. The evidence is the marks on Hamada's wrist with tape."

Takeo Mikami glanced at the young policeman. The young policeman nodded and walked forward to check Hamada's wrist. As expected, there were traces of tape sticking to him.

"Other than that." Xie Chen said: "It's just that there are so many wounds on his body. If the murderer wants to kill him, there will be too many wounds, and the wounds are too shallow."

"He was right." The young policeman said, "Hamada does have a lot of scars."

Xie Chen continued: "From these two points, it can be proved that the murderer once tied Hamada to torture."

Standing in front, a villager wearing yellow short sleeves asked, "Why did the murderer do this?"

Xie Chen said: "Because Hamada has a certain relationship with the Dragon God, I'm afraid he has been on it before."

Takeo Mikami asked loudly, "How do you know this kind of thing?"

Xie Chen said, "Because there is a telescope on the Dragon God on the lighthouse."

"Strange." Mikami Ling said suddenly: "How did you know about this, uncle."

Xie Chen remembered that only he and Sanshangling had seen the lighthouse, so he cleared his throat and said naturally: "There is nothing my detective doesn't know."

The villager in a gray shirt said, "Yes, Hamada appeared here seven years ago."

"That..." Takeo Mikami asked, "Is it the location of the gold nuggets that the murderer wants to get out of Hamada's mouth?"

"It's not wrong." Xie Chen said: "The murderer thought that Hamada probably knew where the gold nuggets were hidden, so he stayed on this island in order to guard the gold nuggets."

"Who knows, I suddenly appeared at this time. He was afraid that I would find the gold nugget, so he tried to kill me. Xie Chen and Xiaoling saw Mr. Hamada come out from the back door of the stage during the day."

"Xiaoling?" Takeo Mikami looked at his daughter and nodded triumphantly.

Xie Chen said: "But there is actually another person on the island who is also looking for the location of the gold nugget. For him, Hamada and I who may have revealed the secret are his stumbling blocks."

Having said this, Xie Chen paused for a while, and then continued: "Knowing this, it is not surprising that the murderer will commit a crime."

The villager in the gray shirt said, "But there is no such person on this island."

"That's him." Mikami Suddenly said, "It's the other person from Tokyo."

Takeo Mikami said, "The guy from Toto Travel Agency!"

Mikami Ling said, "I saw Uncle Hamada quarreling with him yesterday."

"What?" Takeo Mikami asked Goro Kinoshita, "Where does he live now?"

Goro Kinoshita replied: "It should be in a private hotel."

auzw.com Moori Kogoro’s suspicion was thoroughly cleared, and then the young police rushed to the private hostel with the villagers.

Behind the bushes, the villagers wearing hard hats whispered to the young policeman: "Mr. Police, let's go quickly."

"Huh?" The young policeman shivered. "But I have never arrested a criminal."

"Please, what are you doing with your gun?"

"What's the matter?" Xie Chen walked over after Moori Kogoro was sober.

The villager said helplessly: "This guy is shaking."

"That's good." Goro Kinoshita came over and said, "I'll go together."

"Mr. Kinoshita?"

"I also want to go together, hoping to persuade the murderer to surrender."

"but……"

"It was our village office who invited him to this small island. As a village clerk, I also have a responsibility. Let me go."

After that, Goro Kinoshita slowly walked into the hostel, and young policemen and villagers waited outside. Five minutes later, gunshots suddenly sounded inside the hostel.

After everyone rushed into the hotel, they found Goro Kinoshita lying on the ground clutching his arms.

"Mr. Kinoshita, are you all right."

"He ran away." Goro Kinoshita said, pointing to the window.

The young policeman ran to the window, looked down, and then said loudly, "He fled to the woods, chase!"

The villagers agreed and ran to the woods outside the hostel.

Xie Chen helped Goro Kinoshita, and Goro Kinoshita said: "I just wanted to persuade him to surrender, but he suddenly shot me."

"You have to go to the clinic for treatment as soon as possible," the young policeman advised.

"I'm fine, just scratched."

Subsequently, the police station sent personnel to search the island. The search continued until dawn. In the Murakami office, the intercom of the young policeman kept ringing.

"No suspicious person was found here on the western island, over."

"This is the Village Self-Defense Force. No trace of the murderer was found."

When news came from search personnel in each area, the young policemen would draw a cross on the map at the corresponding position. When the day was about to dawn, almost the entire map was filled.

Xie Chen frowned slightly. This seemed to be something he had expected. He had a hunch that things couldn't be so simple.

"Thanks for your hard work." The young policeman said into the walkie-talkie: "Please keep the night watchman now, and then please go back to your home first."

"Hey, I haven't looked for this place yet." Mouri Kogoro said, pointing to the blue area on the map.

The young policeman and Takeo Mikami looked at each other, and the young policeman said, "I think I shouldn't find it in the Navy Cave."

"Why?" Mouri Kogoro asked in confusion.

The young policeman said timidly: "There is absolutely no one on this island who dares to approach there. It is useless to rely on me alone."
