Kindaichi of Kexue World

Chapter 147 The Guardian of the Treasure

"Hmph! I don't care about the seventh person!" Kakimoto Maren took two puffs on his pipe: "We are here to find treasures. Treasures are always found by those who are capable, so it doesn't matter if you add one more person! "

"Kakimoto-san, it's too much to say..."

"I don't care about you! To be honest, it would be better if the island owner is dead, so that after finding the treasure, it will be mine! Hahahaha!"

Asato Kakimoto laughed and walked out of the main house.

There are those who are not afraid at all, and those who are afraid.

Kohei Fire Village strongly demanded to contact the ship to come over to them. He didn't want to stay with a murderer for seven days.

A few people thought the same way.

But it is a pity that because Daisuke Misaku hates crowds, there is no outreach equipment installed on the island, not even boats, and there is definitely no mobile phone signal in this poor place, so everyone can only wait for a week. After that there are regular sailings.

What is certain is that everyone is stranded on an isolated island.

Chris is not very afraid. Although the identity of the screen is at risk of being killed, but he does not solve the case and the murderer cannot find him. He just needs to hunt for treasure with peace of mind.

After a few minutes, everyone dispersed and went to their own activities.

In the end, Yashishima Takazo got the key to the cabin next to Kakimoto Asato, and Miyuki also took the opportunity to get the key to the cabin next to Kaneda Yiyi.

Jin Tianyi showed disappointment visible to the naked eye.

This old snakeskin!
After a few minutes.

"Hajime, where are you going?" Nanase Miyuki asked.

"I want to familiarize myself with the terrain first, and draw a simplified map of the island, so I need to go around the island."

At this time, Jintian Yiyi did not go back to his cabin, but turned around the island, Chris and Miyuki Nanase followed all the way.

The reason why Chris followed them was not entirely to win Nanase Miyuki's favorability, but mainly because they were the only two people known to be completely safe.

Chris has such small arms and legs that no one can beat anyone, and among so many skills, there are no fighting skills, so it is a bit dangerous to act alone.

"Are you still thinking about the treasure? Obviously, one person died..."

"Not really!" Jintian went online in serious mode one by one: "Miss Xiaobi's father was killed, and we have to stay on this island for a week, so we can't be idle. It's best to find the murderer quickly so that he won't be killed." Kill people again for the treasure!"

"Hajime, do you really think the murderer is among us?" Nanase Miyuki was a little scared.

"I'm not sure, but that's exactly what we're looking into!"

Kaneda Yiyi and Nanase Miyuki discussed the case, Chris did not interrupt, he was also observing the environment, but not to solve the case, but to hunt for treasure.

The three of them walked to the beach and found a green torii gate standing abruptly on the beach.

Torii is a Japanese-style building similar to a torii. Its shape is similar to the "open" character. For Japanese Shintoism, it represents the entrance to the realm of the gods. It can be regarded as a "gate".

However, it is usually built on the road leading to the shrine or at the wooden fence around the shrine, not on the beach.

"Why are there torii gates here?" Nanase Miyuki was curious.

"Those treasure hunters once said that this island was once used as a sacrificial place, so there are many religious relics left behind, which may have been left at that time." Jintian replied one by one.

Everyone looked closer, and the green torii shimmered slightly in the sun.

"It's made of rough emerald," Chris said.

His knowledge is profound, and it can be seen at a glance.

"Emerald? Isn't that very valuable? Is it a treasure..." Jin Tianyi beamed with joy.

"The transparency of these rough jadeites is very poor, and there is no way to make jewelry at all, and they are not worth a lot of money." Chris said: "The treasure cannot refer to this."

"It's amazing to find so many green torii gates!" Nanase Miyuki exclaimed.

"There seem to be strange patterns here." Kaneda pointed to the two "feet" of the torii one by one and said, "What do you mean?"

"I don't know." Chris glanced at him and said.

Several people circled the torii twice, and left after finding no valuable clues.

Soon after, the three saw a white torii at the entrance of a forest in the center of the island.

"This should be made of marble." Even Jin Tianyi could see it for a while.

The "feet" of this torii also have strange patterns.

Passing through the white torii, the three of them walked into the woods.

This forest is the place with the most relics. There are various abandoned altars or landscapes made of stones beside the road. It is said that ancient objects from the Jomon period have been excavated here.

Jin Tian was walking one by one, and almost tripped over a stone, which was round, and rolled forward two or three steps away.

The three of them took a closer look and saw that the stone was carved into the head of an ape, which seemed to be the head of the strange statue in the main house.

"Eh~ I don't know why, but I always feel that this monster's head is disgusting." Nanase Miyuki said.

"Of course it's disgusting! Then the mountain boy mentioned in the ancient poem!"

At this moment, a sticky voice suddenly sounded. It was the unique voice of Di Jiuyi, the curly-haired head of the trio of treasure hunters.

"This is a half-ape, half-human monster in the folk mythology of Tottori Prefecture, and it is the guardian of the treasures on this island." Yadi Jiuyi said: "It is said that this island was originally called Secret Treasure Island. They are all hunting for treasure on this island, but all those who approach the treasure will be killed by the mountain boy and tear the body to pieces..."

Yadi Hisayoshi walked forward while talking.

"Just like Daisuke Misaku!" Yadi Hisayoshi said suddenly.

"Ah! Don't say it!" Nanase Miyuki was frightened, and threw herself into Kaneda Kazui's arms.

"Hahahaha, I don't even have the guts to hunt for treasure. It's ridiculous!"

At this time, although Jin Tianyi was full of soft jade and warm fragrance, he didn't look like an old snake skin at all, and just stared at Yadi Jiuyi with a serious expression.

"Do you know why this island is called the Island of Sad News? An island with sad news. I hope you will not become the next [Sad News], just like Daisuke Misaku! Hahahaha!"

Yadi Jiuyi laughed and left, leaving behind an arrogant back.

"This uncle is really bad!" Nanase Miyuki said with a worried expression.

"He just wants to scare us with the legend of the mountain boy, so that we don't dare to hunt for treasures, so as to reduce his competitors. There is no such thing as a mountain boy!" Chris comforted.

"Thank you, Chris, you are so brave, these are not afraid."

Miyuki knelt down and patted Chris's head.

Nanase Miyuki's favorability +3.

Kindaichi's favorability is -1.

Nanase Miyuki branch mission ([-]) completed.
