A Truly Villainous Cast

About five years ago, her daughter was kidnapped by a gang of robbers who demanded a ransom from him... but he refused.

"A year later, those same gang of robbers robbed their house again, stealing their family heirloom gold screen worth 200 million yen and murdering their maid..."

After a pause, Hiroki continued, "Because she refused to pay the ransom to the kidnappers twice, her daughter still hasn't been found, and Pingfeng is nowhere to be found either. Moreover, on the island you are on, a body that had starved to death was found, so some terrifying legends have been circulating in the area."

Fujino pondered for a moment, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "Hiroki, what's your opinion on this case?"

What do I think?

Hiroki Sawada paused for a moment, then, realizing that Fujino might be keeping an eye on this case, he suddenly became interested and analyzed seriously. "I think that gang of robbers kidnapped the daughter of the Kinjo Family, and since the other party did not pay the ransom, they robbed the mayor's house a year later and committed the heinous crime of murder for money."

I don't think so.

Fujino pondered for a moment, then said, "Something like an ancestral heirloom shouldn't be known to outsiders, and a bandit group shouldn't easily know where it's hidden..."

"My analysis is as follows."

Hiroki Sawada explained seriously, "Both groups of robbers were the same group of people. I think the thugs probably tortured the young lady in a brutal way before finding out the location of the screen..."

"Well, reality is probably more dramatic than you think... but what you said makes sense. I'll hang up now."

Fujino hesitated for a moment, then hung up the phone and sighed.

Although he felt that Hiroki Sawada's reasoning was indeed very reasonable.

If he weren't a great prophet, he would definitely think the same way.

But reality is often even more absurd...

No, it should be said to be Ke Xue.

Upon hearing about Ghost Turtle Island, the dead man, and the legend of Conan and Hattori, Fujino immediately connected the dots and realized that this might be related to a case.

However, without further information, his hippocampus did not correspond to any relevant memory fragments...

However, upon hearing Hiroki Sawada's words, he immediately thought of this case.

Roughly speaking, the mayor's daughter isn't his biological daughter. After her mother's death, the daughter worried about falling out of favor and decided to test her father. She plotted to kidnap him, but he refused to pay, leaving her heartbroken. Enraged, she took her kidnapping gang home, stole her stepfather's heirloom, and during the process, one of the gang members killed the family's maid.

That's roughly what happened.

In short, it's a story about a stepdaughter causing trouble, leading a group to steal her stepfather's family heirloom, and then killing the maid.

It's just too outrageous and melodramatic.

Who could have imagined that this daughter would be born like this?

Fujino pulled back, and several black lines seemed to appear on his head.

He surveyed the people on the ship speechlessly, remained silent for a moment, and couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "They're all villains..."

Soon, the ship carrying everyone arrived at Ghost Turtle Island.

Fujino quickly got to know his companions and learned their names.

Apart from the director, the other passengers on the boat were all staff members hired locally by the program.

The white-haired uncle at the bow of the ship is named Kanahiko Daito, the blonde woman is named Ie Taira, and the two Blondie are named Shinro Ikema and Yoshitsugu Kume. The captain of the ship is a Takashi Shimoji.

Aside from the non-mainstream youth and the white-haired uncle, in Fujino's memory, everyone else was a criminal from the folding screen robbery case back then.

The Captain Shimoji was an even more remarkable individual; he was the real murderer who killed the maid.

The white-haired man was the butler who had developed feelings for the maid years ago.

The butler from Captain Shimoji's face when the maid was murdered...

The purpose of following those people to the island this time was to kill all the members of the bandit gang and avenge his beloved.

As for that blonde older sister, she was even more...

She was the daughter of Mayor Kinjo, who had led a group to snatch her stepfather and indirectly caused the death of the maid.

For some reason, after changing her appearance, she started showing herself off as a dark-skinned, blonde older sister...

It's fair to say that, apart from the director, the non-mainstream youth, and Fujino and his group, everyone else on the ship had some degree of involvement in the deaths.

Truly, everyone in the group is a villain.

After disembarking, Sister Pingliang changed into a diving suit and, with a "splash!" jumped into the sea next to the dock to start diving.

After searching for a while, she emerged from the water and shouted to Takashi Shimoji, who was sailing past behind her, "Captain, can you please stop making the sea so choppy?"

"Hattori, you've guessed wrong this time."

Conan stood on the beach, looking at the older woman in a wetsuit on the water not far away. "It's not a white bikini, but a black rubber wetsuit."

"Huh, that's weird..."

Hattori Heiji, sporting a dark blue panda eye, rubbed his chin. "How could it not be?"

Conan: "..."

You little rascal, you're definitely copying me, aren't you?

"So, is guessing a girl's swimsuit really that interesting?"

Fujino stood to the side with his hands in his pockets, glancing speechlessly at the one-eyed panda, Heiji: "That panda... Black Bear the blind eye, got punched in the white of his eye by Kazuha, right?"

"Hello..."

Hattori Heiji coughed lightly, squinting his already dark left eye, which had turned blue after being hit, and turned back with a resentful look. "I really don't know who snitched on me, so I got punched for nothing!"

"That's what you deserve, okay?"

Fujino scoffed. "Peeping at other people's swimsuits and stuff, having a girl like Kazuha and still wanting more."

"They were just childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts!"

Hattori grumbled, then looked at Fujino with displeasure and said, "So what? Why did you come over to peek too? Isn't that Kyoto young lady quite well-endowed?"

"How can you compare them?"

Fujino stared at Osaka Black Chicken as if he were an idiot, and said in a serious tone, "We only have a purely platonic client-client relationship."

Hattori Heiji: "..."

Look at my Black Bear eyes, do you think I'd believe your nonsense?

Hey, Heiji!

Just then, a Toyama Kazuha shout came from behind, "The director is calling you!"

"Alright, time to get to work."

Fujino turned around and said disdainfully, "Stop staring at the dark-skinned, blonde older sister like that."

"That is."

Conan turned around and nodded in agreement, saying, "Did you hear that? Stop staring at people like that."

Hattori Heiji: "..."

You're doing this too? Are you still my good brother?

What a terrible friend! Absolutely a terrible friend!
