Chapter 422 Another murder? A huge treasure hunt group, a confused mastermind
What appeared before my eyes was a group of cattle and horses from the First Investigation Section.

Leading the team is Inspector Megure, who is known as a “model worker” together with Gin.

Onino Takeshi glanced at Kogoro Mouri and Conan beside each other, and couldn’t help but twitching the corners of his mouth.

Tell me, who died again?

It’s true that “fishermen never come back empty-handed”, right?!

Understanding Gui Yewu’s eyes, the two fishermen…a look of embarrassment appeared on the face of the Grim Reaper at the same time.

Inspector Megure had already complained about them just now.

But can they be blamed for dying wherever they go? They don’t want to do that…

“I am not the God of Plague!”

Kogoro Mouri and Conan curled their lips at the same time, thinking a little lacking in confidence.

Inspector Megure: …Stop quibbling, you are the plague!
Then, Onino Takeshi learned from Maori Kogoro who the unfortunate victim was.

A treasure hunter was attacked by a shark on the seabed.

Although his other two companions, also treasure hunters Matsumoto Mitsuji and Izu Santaro, tried their best to protect him, the man was still bitten and eventually died from excessive blood loss.

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, who were diving at the time, and their tour guide happened to witness the three people being besieged by sharks.

Therefore, Inspector Megure approached a few people to inquire about the situation.

However, during a quiet investigation, Conan discovered traces of a plastic bag under the deceased’s diving suit, and came to the conclusion that this was not an accident, but a premeditated murder!

Someone deliberately put fish blood in a plastic bag. As they dived deeper, the pressure became greater, the plastic bag burst, and the smell of blood attracted a group of sharks.

Later, Inspector Megure and others compared fingerprints and discovered that Matsumoto Mitsuji was a world-famous treasure hunter with many crimes on his body and was an international wanted criminal.

“Could it be that the rumor that there is treasure under the sea is true?”

The three little ones would never be absent from such things, and seeing this, Mitsuhiko immediately exclaimed in surprise.

Inspector Megure and others who had no prior knowledge of the situation immediately raised questions.

Kogoro Mori explained to them that this island had ancient ruins and underwater palaces that sank to the bottom of the sea, as well as the treasure legend left behind by two female pirates, Anne Boney and Mary Read, who actually existed 300 years ago.

Inspector Megure and others suddenly realized that it seemed that these treasure hunters were targeting pirate treasure.

And Onino Takeshi was speechless for a while. He finally confirmed that he had run into a movie version again.

I didn’t pay much attention to it before and didn’t think about it for a while, but now when I see this familiar plot, I am immediately sure of it.

My goodness, isn’t this the plot of “The Blue Coffin”…

How could it be such a coincidence!

But he was only stunned for a moment, and soon Gui Yewu was relieved.

As a theatrical version that achieved both low reputation and box office, “The Azure Coffin” does not have many dangerous scenes throughout the entire play. The only difference is that the head of the tourism department, who is the mastermind behind the scenes, fired a few shots.

Compared to the subsequent bombings, such as bombing hotels, bombing airplanes, and bombing Tokyo Tower, it was a piece of cake!

The most spectacular thing is the scene of the ancient pirate ship at the back breaking through the rock wall and the waves.

The only thing to pay attention to is to prevent Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko from being held hostage by the two treasure hunters and put into crisis again.

Although the quality of this movie is average, it once again shows the rare qualities of Mao Lilan’s bravery, calmness, and responsibility, instead of being reduced to a background board and tool in the later stage.

But since he is here, there is no need to let the two women go through another crisis.

So Takeshi Onino privately told Kyogoku Makoto to keep an eye on the two women and stay close to them.

Although Kyogoku Makoto didn’t understand what this meant, he still agreed seriously and said that he would definitely protect the two women.

Gui Yewu no longer had any worries.

With the “Saiyan” Kyogoku Makoto around, if those two unlucky guys still dare to take action, they will be courting death.

After eliminating the danger, Gui Yewu simply watched the show. As for the so-called treasure, he had no interest in it.

What’s more, the treasure was not gold or silver, but an old-fashioned pirate ship.

Wait…isn’t this the ready-made “Black Pearl”?

Gui Yewu fell into deep thought and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

On the other hand, after recording their statements, Kogoro Mouri and others no longer took the matter to heart and continued to do what they were doing.

Only Conan refused to give up. He secretly followed the two treasure hunters and tried to get to the bottom of the secrets behind them.

The three little ones pulled Huibara Ai and the others and continued to play the treasure hunt game with great interest.

In the process, Conan accidentally discovered that Mr. Mima, the owner of a certain B&B, was also a treasure hunter, and the puzzle codes in the treasure hunting game were actually related to the real treasure code.

With the help of Mr. Mima, Conan and others successfully cracked the secret of the treasure map and learned the exact location of the treasure.

“Nani! Did you really find the treasure?!”

In the evening, when Kogoro Mori learned about this, he was immediately shocked and his eyes became suspicious.

However, after confirming that it was true, golden light immediately shot out from his eyes, and he couldn’t wait to say: “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go treasure hunting tomorrow!”

Mao Lilan couldn’t help but complain: “Dad, you won’t get some sun tomorrow?”

Maori Kogoro didn’t hear it. Where is the treasure incense from the young lady?
Then he asked excitedly: “Where is the treasure?”

Mitsuhiko said proudly: “It’s near the nearby Raiichi Island!”

Maori Kogoro immediately stuck out his tongue and laughed: “Wahahaha, this treasure is destined to be with me~”

The others looked at this boastful old man in silence, talking as if the treasure already belonged to him.

Gui Yewu laughed secretly, but unfortunately Brother Maori was destined to be disappointed. There was not a single gold coin in it except a broken ship.

Suddenly he noticed that Kyogoku Makoto had a strange expression on his face. When their eyes met, Onino Takeshi understood what he meant.

The two of them secretly came to a corner, and Kyogoku Makoto reported something to him.

Just in the evening, he noticed that someone was following him, and the targets were obviously Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko.

However, perhaps because he noticed the presence of the strong man Kyogoku Makoto, the other party did not take any action.

This made Kyogoku really worried.

Gui Yewu comforted him. Since they did not take action on the spot, it proved that the two treasure hunters were cautious. They might be afraid of the presence of the police, and finally chose to give up.

And after that, with so many of them staying together, the other party had even less chance to take action.

Onino Takeshi didn’t take the two little thieves seriously at all. Either he or Kyogoku Makoto could easily deal with them.

The same goes for the so-called Black Hand Section Chief, he’s just a little Karami and not a big threat.

In comparison, he was more concerned about tomorrow’s treasure hunt.

……

Time quickly came to the next day.

Just when the excited Kogoro Mori was dressed up and ready to start his treasure hunt, he was dumbfounded as soon as he went out.

“Why, why are there so many people?”

Kogoro Mouri looked at the dense crowd in front of him in astonishment, his expression froze on his face and his eyes were full of confusion.

Mao Lilan came over and explained: “It was Director Onino who said that this treasure hunt is just right for filming, so he notified the “Pirates of the Caribbean” crew and planned to take them with him.”

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Maori suddenly felt a darkness in front of his eyes.

One, two, three… Wow, there are hundreds of people!
With so many people sharing one share, how much treasure will be left for him?
Kogoro Mori suddenly felt like a frost-bitten eggplant. His whole body wilted and the high spirits he had just had were gone.

No one else had any intentions towards the treasure like he did, so they didn’t feel too disappointed. Instead, they felt that it was more lively with more people.

So under the command of Gui Yewu, a group of hundreds of people set off in a mighty manner.

The reason why he specifically called in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” crew was the same as what he told Mao Lilan, because Onino Takeshi felt that this was a good scene and plot that could be put into the movie.

The key is that this is still a good gimmick.

I believe many people will be interested in the combination of real treasures and movies.

Although the treasure is not valuable and is not worth mentioning to Takeshi Ono, the pirate ship inside can be used as a filming prop. After some repairs, it can become the real “Black Pearl”.

This is another eye-catching gimmick.

There must be more people interested in the props made from real pirate ships.

Although it may not save much in shooting costs, the effect is completely different.

After hearing Onino Takeshi’s proposal, Muranishi Toru agreed very much and felt deeply moved, he is worthy of being the boss, he is indeed a cunning old man… and a far-sighted person!
So the group set off, and they walked for dozens of meters along the way, which was a spectacular sight.

This scene stunned the mastermind section chief Iwanaga Chenger who was hiding in the dark.

How can he do anything about this?

So many people gave me a punch each to heal me, but I still got flat…

So Yan Yongcheng’er could only watch this group of people heading towards the treasure he had thought about day and night and dreamed of getting. He was extremely anxious but helpless.

He was so anxious that his lips were flaming with anger.

Don’t bully people like that. What’s the point of having more people? If you have the guts, challenge me in a one-on-one fight!
Just when he focused all his attention on Gui Yewu and others, suddenly, a dagger was placed across his neck.

Yan Yongcheng’er suddenly realized something when he felt a chill on his neck. The moment he turned his eyes, he was met with a pair of fierce and playful eyes.

In an instant, his face changed drastically!

……

Onino Takeshi and his group hired ten boats and finally arrived at Raiichi Island.

Then, under the guidance of Conan, they found the entrance to the treasure trove by following the map.

Originally the entrance here was very small, only wide enough for a child to pass through, but there happened to be an undersea earthquake not long ago, which happened to shake the entrance open.

Adults are now allowed to pass.

So the group entered one after another cautiously.

At the same time, Muranishi Toru also directed the cameraman to turn on the camera and pointed the lens at the leading actors such as Depp…
