Kindaichi of Kexue World

Chapter 149 The Blood-Stained Cabin

Tidal's inspiration moves Chris' treasure hunt forward by a big chunk.

If it is really as I thought, the treasure should not be far away from me!

According to Chris' speculation, when the ebb tide reaches a certain level, a hole will appear somewhere by the sea, and the treasure should be there!
According to Chris' knowledge of astronomy and geography, the tide type of this island is a diurnal tide type, that is, the process time of high tide and low tide has twelve hours.

Calculating the current date, it happens to be a new moon, and the time when the high tide rises to the full moon is 10:30 in the evening. Now it has passed, and the time when the low tide reaches its peak is around 10:30 in the morning, and there are still more than seven hours from now.

It's a pity that the specific location of the cave has not been analyzed, so we have to search for it within a limited time.

Fortunately, the island is not big, and the coastline is not that long.

In this case...
Go to sleep first, recharge your batteries, and set off for treasure hunting tomorrow!
After Chris made up his mind, he took sleeping pills, set the alarm clock, and fell asleep contentedly.

······
"Chris, why are you listless? Is it because you have a heat stroke or didn't sleep well last night?" Nanase Miyuki asked with concern.

"It's okay, sister Miyuki, I just walked around the island just now, and I'm a little tired now."

"You are still a child, and the weather is so hot now, even if you are keen on treasure hunting, you have to think about your body! Got it?"

"Got it!" Chris replied weakly.

It was already noon at this time, and a group of people gathered in the open space near the main house to have lunch.

It's sunny outside, with plenty of sunshine and a breeze, perfect for a picnic.

Although Chris is tired and hungry now, facing the whole table full of chicken feasts, he just can't whet his appetite. He just wants to drink ice water now.

He felt like he might be getting dehydrated!
Fortunately, there is no shortage of fresh water resources on this island, so you can drink it as you like.

After drinking a few glasses of water, he finally felt better.

I never expected that this Chris has so many skills, but he has no physical skills.

Think about it too, what kind of physical ability can a 13-year-old child have!
Besides, he is still a top student, spending all his time on books, and has almost zero practical experience.

In other words, this little kid is just a talkative king!
The key is that not only the body is tired, but the heart is also tired!

Since ten o'clock, Chris has been walking eastward along the coastline next to his cabin. It took him more than half an hour to reach the gap in the east, but found nothing.

Then Chris spent another half an hour investigating around the gap, but found nothing.

It was already eleven o'clock at this time, and the tide had slowly started to rise.

Not reconciled, Chris wanted to speed up.

But the cliff on the east side is too high, it took a long time to get down from the top, and it was already twelve o'clock when we got near the black torii gate.

I didn't see anything about the cave, but I enjoyed the view of the fountain from a close distance.

Well, fortunately, my body is not very good. I was just tired and sat down to rest for a while, otherwise I would have been scalded by the 120-degree high-temperature fountain.

With such a delay, it was almost as if the tide was rising, and the treasure hunt was forced to stop.

Calculating the time, the low tide tomorrow will be around eleven twenty.

Chris felt powerless at the thought of having to hunt for treasure along the coastline of the western half of the island under the scorching midday sun tomorrow.

Sure enough, I still have to think about how to find out the specific location where the treasure is buried. The old and stupid methods that take so much energy are really in vain this time possessing such a high IQ character!
At this time, other treasure hunters came back one after another. After all, no matter how important treasure hunting is, you have to eat enough to work.

Everyone was a little bit dissatisfied with the whole chicken feast, because they also ate chicken in the morning.

The owner of Meizuo Island raised a lot of chickens and ducks for self-sufficiency, probably because he died, and there was no need to keep these chickens, so he prepared to kill and eat them one after another.

So it is estimated that tomorrow is the whole duck feast?

Although a little dissatisfied, no one lost their temper. After all, it is good to be able to eat meat in this place where the birds don't shit.

Chris didn't have breakfast, so he tasted it after he recovered and found that the chicken dish actually tasted pretty good.

Just as everyone was feasting, Jin TianYi made a fuss again.

He suddenly yelled, startling the others.

Kindaichi smiled sheepishly, then lifted up the tablecloth. It turned out that a chicken pecked him under the table.

But he accidentally found a Japanese doll under the table.

The Japanese doll was in pieces and had something red on it.

Everyone immediately thought of the Japanese doll that was found in Yamado's mouth when Daisuke Misaka's dead body was found, and their faces changed instantly.

"This...this can't be blood..." Mei Zuobi said in fear.

"No, it's just ketchup." Jin Tianyi licked his fingers.

"Whose prank is this!" Kohei Homura said angrily.

No one answered him.

At this moment, the butler Iwata Hidesaku shouted and ran over here.

"The big thing is bad!"

"Kakimoto... Mr. Kakimoto, he..."

······
Ten minutes later, everyone gathered at Asato Kakimoto's cabin.

Iwata Hidesaku stopped Chris and the three ladies outside the house, saying that the scene inside was terrible, and it was better for the ladies and children not to go in.

In fact, what happened, Chris had already guessed early on, Kakimoto Asahito had probably been murdered, and the death was probably similar to that of the Japanese doll that was abandoned under the table.

Although Chris didn't go in to see it, it is still necessary to describe what Kanedaichi and the others saw when they entered the cabin.

This isn't a log cabin anymore, it's hell!
A pungent smell of blood filled the house, and blood stains that had turned into reddish brown covered the walls and ceiling like paint. Kakimoto Asato's body, which had been cut into pieces, was scattered on the ground like garbage.

The big men were frightened for a while and couldn't make a sound.

A few minutes later, Jin TianYiYi and others came out.

Kohei Himura stayed in the house for the autopsy, Kaneda explained the situation inside the house one by one, and Takazo Yashishima and Hisagi Yadi were busy looking at the luggage of Asato Kakimoto that was brought out from the scene.

Although everyone despises such behavior, they don't have the energy to pursue it at this time.

"Look here!"

I saw a notebook written by Asahi Kakimoto: I have unraveled the hidden meaning in the ancient poem, and the treasure belongs to me!

"Anyone who gets close to the treasure will be torn to pieces by the treasure's guardian, Shantong..." Yadi Jiuyi murmured, "This is actually true!"
