Kindaichi of Kexue World

Chapter 145 The Curtain Opens
Chris carefully observed Mizuaki's neck.

"There's no Adam's apple... maybe I'm overthinking it?" Chris thought to himself.

"What did you just say?" Jin Tian asked one by one?
Only then did Chris come back to his senses, and found that everyone was looking at him strangely, and Mei Zuobi looked a little angry, and his favorability was directly -3.

"Huh?" Chris was stunned for a moment, and instantly realized that he had just made a mistake.

"I mean...it's hard for you to be alone..."

"Thank you for your concern. I have gotten used to it over the years." Although Mizuobi's words were gentle, her tone was harsh and she seemed really angry.

"Really? I thought you suspected that Miss Xiaobi is a man!" Kindaichi said.

"How is that possible! You heard it wrong!"

"Of course! Miss Xiaobi is so beautiful, how could she be a man? It's ridiculous, haha...ha...(⊙o⊙)..."

Jin Tian laughed awkwardly a few times, and fell into an awkward atmosphere for a while.

"Are you Miss Xiaobi?"

At this time, a well-dressed, gray-haired old man about 60 years old suddenly appeared, breaking the embarrassing atmosphere.

"Yes, you are?"

"It is indeed you, miss! Don't you recognize me? I am the housekeeper Iwata Eisaku. I even hugged you when you were a child!"

"Ah, it's Grandpa Iwata, long time no see!"

The two exchanged pleasantries, but the atmosphere did not become more rigid.

Iwata Eisaku said that he was not a participant in the treasure hunt, but like Mimasaki, he was invited to help by Mizusaki Daisuke, the organizer of the treasure hunt.

Time passed quickly, and the Island of Sad Report arrived in a blink of an eye.

There is no indestructible fog, no piano curse, no full moon night, but there are treasure hunts, and the shadow of death still hangs over everyone.

After disembarking, Chris met the remaining members of the treasure hunt.

A total of five people, four men and one woman.

The first middle-aged man was fully armed, wearing a camouflage suit, wearing sunglasses, holding a shovel in his hand, and a strange pipe dangling from his mouth.This person's name is Kakimoto Asahito.

The second middle-aged man was also fully armed, wearing a jacket and overalls. He was covered in pockets filled with unknown items. He had a camera hanging around his neck. He had curly hair and sharp eyes.This person's name is Yadi Jiuyi.

The third man appeared to be older than the two men above and a bit fatter. He was wearing a normal shirt and shorts, but with a lot of strange bits and pieces of decoration. A folding fan with strange patterns on it kept shaking. I am afraid that others will not know that he is a master of folklore.His name is Yashishima Takazo.

The common feature of these three people is that they have dark skin, are fully armed in hot weather, and are stuffed with various props. They look like treasure hunters at first glance.

The trio of victim candidates and [Treasure Hunter], it was appointed that these three people did not escape!

The last remaining middle-aged man looked very ordinary, wearing a very ordinary suit, with a very ordinary parted hair, and ordinary glasses. He looked like an ordinary office worker.This person's name is Yasuhei Hinomura.

The middle-aged lady at the end is incredible.

This lady is wearing a lady's skirt, a small suit jacket on her shoulders, and a lace printed parasol. With her good looks, hot figure and mature and elegant temperament, she looks like a wealthy lady. look.

But what is a little strange is that she is holding a small rectangular box in her arms, which is carefully tied up with a beautiful rope, which looks very weird.

Her name is Mao Xingzi.

Jin Tianyi seemed not interested in this elegant and mature beauty, and just kept staring at the rectangular box in his hand.

According to the experience gained by Kogoro Mouri, this person who can make Lao Shepi not interested is also a man, right?

Chris stared at Mao Xingzi's exposed neck and the faintly visible gully on her chest...

Hmm... I must be overly concerned!
The shadow of Moon Shadow Island really made me suspicious, maybe Kinda Yiyi just simply doesn't like older people.

After everyone has gathered, the next step is to meet the island owner Mimasaku Daisuke. He is waiting for everyone in the main house on the island.

There were two episodes in between.

Nanase Miyuki did not pass the exam to qualify for treasure hunting, so there was no invitation letter, so Kindaichi lied that she was his sister and insisted on playing with her.

Now that everyone has come, the next boat to leave will not come until a week later, and she is not qualified to share the treasure, so everyone did not make things difficult for her.

The second thing is that Asahi Kakimoto wanted to start the treasure hunt directly instead of meeting Daisuke Misaku.

In the end, it was Takazo Yashishima who persuaded him, and said, "Before digging for treasures, you must dig out materials, and treasures can't run long legs." Wait for the famous saying.

From their conversation, it can be seen that these two people have known each other before, and it seems that they have been to this island before.

Alas~ I say I don’t reason, but in fact I can’t help but analyze it in my heart.

Chris kept chatting with Miyuki along the way, and his favorability level increased by 3 points.

She was really gentle, but she couldn't bear to leave Chris alone, even though her eyes were always on Jin Tianyi.

Kindaichi has been asking about the island with those [treasure hunters].

The island is not big, and everyone quickly arrived at the main house.

The houses here are all made of wood, but they don't look rough at all. Instead, they have a sense of art.

"father!"

"master!"

The two knocked on the door for a long time, but no one in the room answered.

Iwata Hidesaku took out the key he had prepared early in the morning and opened the door, and everyone entered in a single file.

Facing the gate is a screen with an ancient poem written on the mountain.

【The vermilion bird perches on the river of hundreds of stone boats, and the black bird sings mournfully in the passing water. The eyes of demon nature gradually rise, follow the clear moon, climb the rugged mountain road, and even reach the treasure protected by the mountain boy. 】

"This is the replica of the screen that was just unearthed recently, suggesting the location of the treasure." Takazo Yashishima proudly displayed his profound knowledge.

"So as long as you crack this, you can find the treasure!" Chris couldn't help but leaned forward to check.

"Look here!"

Jin Tianyi attracted everyone's attention.

I saw a statue placed on a viewing platform.

This statue is very curious. It is made of some kind of red metal. It looks like a hairless ape. The movement is to raise its hands and bend its legs slightly, as if it is about to pounce.

All in all it doesn't look very comfortable.

In front of him were eight mismatched Japanese dolls.

"what is this?"

Kindaichi took out a broken doll from the innermost part of the sculpture.

"Who is this?" Several ladies showed disgust.

Chris is not interested in this, his attention is only on the screen now.

"Did you smell any strange smell?" Misakubi asked, "It seems to be coming from there."

Everyone looked in the direction that Meizuobi pointed, and there was a big clock there.

The hands of the clock seemed to be broken, and they were trembling.

"It seems to have a smell!" Iwata Hidesaku walked over: "When I got closer, the smell was so strong, it seemed to smell like something rotten. Mr. Misaku must have stuffed garbage into the clock!"

Iwata Eisaku opened the clock door as he spoke.

Several pieces that seemed to be stained with blood fell out of the clock.

Everyone took a closer look and saw that the things covered in blood were human corpses, cut into pieces!

At this moment, because there was no obstruction, the clock returned to normal and issued a solemn bell.

The majestic bells and the screams of the ladies mingled together to kick off the prelude to The Murder on the Island of Sadness.
