Chapter 502: The Incident of the Drifting Bottle

On August 17th, Sunday, after three o'clock in the afternoon, a fishing holiday house on Izu Beach.

Kasuga Teruhiko put down the four members of the detective team, Lan and Yuanzi, and then sailed away. As soon as Lan, Yuanzi and others walked to the holiday house, they found that Mouri happily came over with fishing gear.

"It's just right, come and see, this is my harvest." Mao Li opened the big fish box, which was one meter long, half a meter wide, and 30 centimeters thick, revealing a box full of fish, with more than a dozen of them. Cover with a layer of ice.

"Wow!" Lan, Yuanzi and the others cried out together.

Maori asked proudly: "How about it, am I very good?"

This looks like a stone fish, right? Conan was very puzzled, since he didn't go to the beach, how could he catch deep-sea fish?

Yuanzi said, "It's amazing. I caught so many fish in just over an hour."

Yuan Tai shouted: "Uncle, Uncle, take us fishing, okay?"

"No, no, I promise to keep it a secret." Mao Li smiled, "Anyway, you can eat it later." He closed the fish box, put the fish box into the car, took beer and another The fish box is gone.

"Really, forget it, let's play volleyball again," Yuan Tai said, "Yesterday it was a tie, and today we must decide the winner."

"I'm not going," Sonoko said.

"Me too, go on your own," Lan said, "Don't run too far, and don't take off your life jacket."...

After the four members of the detective team played at the beach for half an hour, they suddenly found a drifting bottle floating over. Conan cut the drifting bottle open with his pocket knife.

When the four of them saw the letter in the drifting bottle, they were immediately taken aback. Inside was the cover of the bottle with the words "SOS, Shinobu" engraved on it.

Mitsuhiko asked: "Could this ninja refer to the ninja sister just now?"

Ayumi asked, "Why did Sister Shinobi write this?"

Yuan Tai said: "It still floats over from the sea."

"I don't know if Brother Haruhi is back, let's go back and ask." Mitsuhiko said.

The four members of the detective team returned to the fishing holiday house and found that there was no one there. They asked the boss. It turned out that Teruhiko Kasuga had returned the small yacht and diving equipment ten minutes ago, and after chatting with Lan and Sonoko for a while Walked with them again.

"What should I do?" Ayumi said, "It would be terrible if sister Shinobi really wrote it."

Yuan Tai said: "Okay, now is the time for our young detective team to dispatch."

"But where to investigate?" Mitsuhiko said, "If Sister Shinobi is on a deserted island, it would be too far away."

"There is only ten minutes in the middle, she can't go too far in such a short time." Conan said, "Just now I saw an old man cleaning up the garbage on the beach, he must know the direction of the currents nearby, so You will know which direction the bottle came from."

"Then let's go." Ayumi said.

"Wait, bring the rubber boat," Conan said.

"I'll come." Yuan Tai said. ...

After a while, the four members of the detective team found the old gentleman who cleaned up the garbage. Under his guidance, the four members of the detective team walked eastward along the seashore.

Soon after,

The four members of the detective team found Mochizuki Shinobi lying motionless on a rock in a cave by the sea, but because of the high tide, there was no way to pass.

Genta immediately cheered up the rubber boat, and then carried Mitsuhiko, Ayumi and Conan in the rubber boat.

The detective team woke up Shinobu Mochizuki, "That's great."

"It's you." Mochizuki said helplessly.

"What happened?" Conan helped Mochizuki Shinobu to sit up.

Ayumi asked, "Why are you here, sister Shinobi?"

"Hui Yan said he would take me to dive in a place I had never been to. He said it was a cave that would disappear into the sea when the tide was high." Shinobu Mochizuki said, "Later, after I drank the water he brought After the drink, I suddenly felt sleepy, and then fell asleep."

"He must have added sleeping pills to the drink." Conan said, "He wanted to kill you and arrange it as an accident. When you are drowned here, he will have proof of his alibi."

"Alibi?" Mochizuki Shinobu asked.

Conan said: "He is with Sister Lan now."

"I see," Mochizuki Shinobu asked, "but why did he kill me?"

"This question can only be known by asking him himself," Conan said, "Let's get out of here and call the police."

"It's not good," Ayumi yelled, "the water is coming in."

"Let's go quickly." Conan said anxiously.

The four members of the detective team and Mochizuki Shinobu quickly boarded the rubber boat. Genta rowed his sculls and drove the boat to the outside of the cave, but when he arrived outside the cave, he was washed back by the tide. The four members of the detective team and Mochizuki Shinobu quickly jumped off the rubber boat.

Ayumi asked: "Conan, how do we go back?"

Mitsuhiko said: "Now the waves are so big, it is impossible to swim out."

"It's terrible," Yuan Tai cried, holding her head, "someone come and save me, I don't want to die yet."

Conan said: "Everyone calm down, don't panic."

Ayumi shouted: "How could it be as easy as you said?"

Mitsuhiko said with a crying voice: "If you wait for a while after the high tide, this place will be filled with sea water."

Yuan Tai shouted: "Then everyone will drown."

Conan was also in a hurry, but he couldn't help it for a while, and accidentally found a few fireflies flying in the sky.

Yuan Tai also found out, "Why are the fireflies here?"

Mochizuki Shinobu asked: "It's really strange, how come the fireflies are in a cave that is submerged when the tide is high?"

Reminiscent of Maori's fish, Conan said: "By the way, there must be another exit from this cave. Now we have to find that exit and go out from there."

Mitsuhiko asked: "But what if the exit cannot be passed through?"

"No," Conan said, "although the stone fish that my uncle caught was very big, there were no scars on the fish, so the exit would definitely not be too small. When the tide is high, seawater pours into this cave, and then It flows all the way to the other side, and on the other side I guess it's a pond or something, so you can catch deep-sea fish."

"Fish?" Yuan Tai compared his body, "Is it really possible?"

"It's definitely possible. Didn't uncle catch a lot of fish? If the hole is small, you can't pass so many fish at one time." Conan said.

"I believe Conan is right." Ayumi said.

Yuan Tai said: "Okay, let's go."

The five of them followed the fireflies for a while, and found that the fireflies flew out from the top of the cave, and they were dumbfounded for a while. Then Conan had no choice but to find a way by throwing stones to ask for directions and listening to the echo to argue the truth. Not long after walking, the five of them met a group of seabirds, so they followed them, but they were thrown off by the seabirds not long after.

Conan sighed at the size and complexity of the cave, so he had no choice but to continue throwing stones to ask for directions, but maybe it was because the sea water had poured into the cave, and the voice could no longer be distinguished.

When the five people were in trouble, a large wave of seawater rushed in and swept them away. Fortunately, they were directly washed to the exit by the seawater, and the exit was not small, which seemed to allow them to get out. But it just seemed that Yuantai was the first to be rushed to the exit, and then got stuck in the exit, making the other people holding their breath and waiting to get out anxious.

After Conan swam over, he found that it was the problem with Yuantai's life jacket, so he cut Yuantai's life jacket with the pocket knife he used to cut the drift bottle, and let it out.

This time, Yuan Tai was rushed out by the sea water at once, and bumped into Mao Li who was waiting for the fish to come out at the exit.

"Oh! No! Help." Molly yelled and was knocked into the pool. ...

Time goes by a little.

Lan and Sonoko met Kasuga Teruhiko who came back to return the boat when they were talking about Maori fishing at the fishing holiday home.

"I may know this. I know why Mr. Mori can catch so many fish," Kasuga Teruhiko said with a smile, "If you don't mind, let me show you."

"Okay, where is it? Take us there quickly." Yuanzi said.

"Then I'll trouble you," Lan said.

Afterwards, Kasuga Teruhiko took Lan and Yuanzi to find Mouri, beside a pond on the side of a mountain with a "No Entry" sign, Maori didn't fish at all, but was drinking beer and looking at a cave.

"Dad, what are you doing?" Lan asked.

Mao Li shuddered, looked back, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Kasuga Teruhiko said, "I'm Kasuga Teruhiko, nice to meet you, Mori Detective."

"Hello," Molly said.

"Of course I came to see how you fish, Uncle." Yuanzi smiled, "The result..."

"This, this..." Mao Li hesitated and couldn't speak.

"Let me tell it," Kasuga Teruhiko said with a smile, "This wall hole leads to a cave by the sea. When the tide is high, seawater will pour into the cave and come out from here."

"That is to say, the fish will also come here together," Yuanzi said with a smile, "So that's how those fish came here."

When Maori was in embarrassment, the mobile phone rang, "I'll answer the call."

It was Yamazaki who called, "Uncle, do you know where Lan and Sonoko are?"

Maori thought for a moment and said the address.

Soon after, Yamazaki and Mei Daizi came over, and when they saw the big fish that Mei Daizi was holding was about two meters long, the largest body diameter was almost one meter, and had triangular fins, the four of them were shocked .

Mei Daizi put the mouth of the fish in front of Yuanzi and Lan, "How is it? It's still alive."

Seeing the ferocious teeth opening in front of him, revealing a big mouth that seemed to be able to bite off the head in one bite, Sonoko and Lan screamed and ran away.

"Is this the fish you caught?" Maori asked in surprise.

"Uh," Mei Daizi asked, "brother, is this considered fishing?"

Yamazaki said with a smile: "Forget it, I caught it when I caught it on the surface of the sea, of course I caught it."

"That's what I caught." Mei Daizi threw the shark into the pool, "It's just right, find a big basin to put it back in later."

The shark swam two laps in the pool with its fins out and then sank with its fins out of sight.

"Where are those kids?" Yamazaki asked.

"I'm playing ball by the sea." Sonoko said.

"By the way, uncle, what are you doing here?" Mei Daizi asked.

"Waiting for the fish." Yuanzi smiled, and then told about the wall hole.

"So good? The fish was delivered by itself?" Mei Daizi smiled, "Why do I feel like that rabbit."

"Stay on the sidelines?" Lan asked with a smile.

"It's really similar." Sonoko smiled.

Yamazaki asked, "Uncle, when is the next high tide?"

"Let me see," Mao Li took out a small notebook. "It should be soon. About fifteen minutes later, he said that today is fifteen, and there are two high tides in the afternoon. Oh, it's not high tide, it's high tide."

Mei Daizi said: "Today should be the seventeenth."

"It's the lunar calendar, you forgot," Yuanzi smiled, and then said to Lan in a gloomy tone, "Today is Ghost Festival."

"Hmph!" Lan said, "I'm not afraid of it in broad daylight." But she still touched her arm.

"Then, Uncle, let's go back after I see this batch of fish comes out." Yamazaki said.

"Okay." Molly agreed.

Ten minutes later, sea water began to gushes out of the wall hole, but just after two fish came out, the water slowly stopped.

"Huh? What's going on?" Maori stepped forward to check.

At this time, Yuan Tai was washed out of the cave by the sea and hit Mao Li.

Thinking of the sharks in the pool, Mao Li paled and yelled and fell into the pool with Yuan Tai.

"Let's go." Yamazaki Ichiramie Daiko jumped into the pool together amidst Lan and Yuanzi's exclamation.

Conan, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, and Mochizuki Shinobu were also washed out of the wall hole by the sea one after another, and fell into the pool.

Mao Li surfaced and shouted for help while crawling towards the shore. Lan and Yuanzi hurried over to pull him.

Genta, Conan, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, and Mochizuki Shinobu surfaced together, and Sonoko shouted, "Come up quickly, there are sharks in the water."

"Sharks, sharks!" Yuantai and the other five climbed up to the shore without any time to think, and quickly got ashore with the help of Yuanzi, Lan and Mao Li who had just landed.

Lan asked: "Why haven't Yamazaki and Mei Daizi come up yet? It's been two minutes. Nothing will happen, right?"

"It should be fine." Yuanzi said, "There is no blood at all."

At this time, Yamazaki and Mei Daizi surfaced, and Mao Li quickly asked, "Are you all right?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and Lan and Yuanzi also extended their hands to Mei Daizi.

"It's okay." Yamazaki said with a smile, "There is a big hole under this pool, and the seawater should flow back into the sea from that hole."

Mei Daizi shouted: "Damn it, that fish ran away without even saying hello, it's really abominable."

Lan and Yuanzi laughed together.

At this time, Conan, who was relieved, found that Teruhiko Kasuga had already crossed the block, so he shouted: "Mr. Kasuga, don't go." He said and chased after him.

"What's the matter?" Kasuga Teruhiko asked.

Conan asked: "Miss Shinobu, did you leave like this?"

Kasuga Teruhiko said: "Shin? We have already broken up, and I don't want to see her again."

"Hui Yan." Mochizuki shinned and shouted.

"What's going on? Wasn't it fine just now?" Sonoko asked.

Genta, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko told about Shinobi Mochizuki.

Yamazaki frowned when he heard that, Conan was so messed up, if he was not lucky and the hole was big enough, he would have drowned right now. It's fine if no one is left to respond, but is it necessary to drill a cave while wearing a life jacket? It is much safer to climb out along the rock wall and float on the sea. This is near the sea, and this is not a typhoon.

After listening to what Yuantai and the other three said, Sonoko said, "Kasuhi Teruhiko, how could you do this."

"Miss Suzuki, I have no idea what these kids are talking about." Teruhiko Kasuga said, "I suddenly remembered that I had something to do, so I left first."

"Wait a minute," Mochizuki cried, "Teruhiko! Why are you treating me like this?"

"Did I not speak clearly enough? We are finished." Kasuga Teruhiko said, "That's it, Mochizuki Shinobu, you don't need to look for me in the future." After finishing speaking, he left.

"Who is this guy?" Mei Daizi asked.

Lan said, "Yuanzi said it belonged to the Kasuga Consortium."

Yamazaki said: "It is a medium-sized mining consortium, a member of Chunfenghui. Chunfeng will have two pillars, Fengsan Automobile Group and Fengyu Electronics Group."

Maori asked: "Miss Mochizuki, do you have any evidence to prove that Mr. Kasuga once gave you a bottle of drink with sleeping pills?"

Conan said, "There should be Mr. Kasuga's fingerprints on that bottle."

Mao Li said: "But it should have been washed away somewhere by the water."

"No, that bottle is still there," Conan laughed. "It was made into a drift bottle and we picked it up. It should be in the trash can by the sea now. I'll go get it right away." Then he ran away.

The three of Yuan Tai followed immediately, and soon after, the four of them came back, followed by the old gentleman who cleaned up the garbage.

As soon as the old gentleman came, he shouted: "It's unreasonable, this is a forbidden area, you can't enter it."

Lan, Yuanzi, Mei Daizi and Yamazaki immediately confessed to Mao Li, saying that they came with him.

Maori said, "Just catch some fish, don't be so stingy."

"Bastard! When the tide is high, the seawater can drown the entire enclosure." The old man shouted, "It's very dangerous, don't you know that?"

Now Maori could only apologize, and the old man confiscated all the fish this time. ...
