Chapter 273 The 2rd Victim
Everyone carried Yuta Urata into the house.
Izu Takeshi couldn't help but question Shiratori Renzaburo: "Why didn't you save him when he fell into the water?"
Youye sighed and said, "I jumped into the water right away, but the current was too fast and I couldn't find anyone right away. There was nothing I could do."
"Can't you move faster?" Izu Takeshi shouted, covering his head, looking like he had suffered a great shock.
"···" You was speechless. Is this human language?
"Don't make things difficult for me. It's already difficult to go into the water to save people in this weather. You might even drown if you're not careful." Miyano Shiho stood up and said coldly.
She was shocked when she heard Youye jump into the water to save people. As everyone knows, no matter how good you are at swimming, you can't go into the water easily. If you don't master the correct method, it is easy for both of you to drown.
Not to mention in the sea with heavy rain and fast currents.
Izu Takeya knew that his words were a bit unreasonable, so he cried and said, "I'm sorry, I'm just too sad..."
Youye shook his head. Seeing that he looked very uncomfortable, he didn't have the heart to argue with him.
"But it's very strange," Ishida Nanami crossed her arms and analyzed the situation in a serious manner, "How big must the fish be to be able to pull a strong adult man into the water? Could it be a shark? But there are no signs of being bitten on the body."
Shiratori Renzaburo looked a little unhappy, and asked in a low voice: "What do you want to say?"
Ishida Nanami smiled slightly: "Maybe he also has some unspeakable secrets, which were given to him by the Siren..."
Wuying Fengyan's expression changed slightly, and he shouted loudly: "Hey, have you had enough? Stop talking nonsense."
Ishida Nanami was not afraid at all, and looked at Kirikage Fuhiko with deep eyes: "Two of your companions have died, maybe you will be the next one." She crossed her arms in front of her chest and said meaningfully, "Are you hiding any secrets too?"
Wuying Fengyan subconsciously retorted: "How is it possible..." He suddenly saw Fengtian Xiajian's suspicious eyes and swallowed the words in his mouth.
His expression changed and he said, "I'm going back to my room. Izu, I'm hungry, help me prepare something to eat."
Youya looked at Wuying Fengyan's departing back thoughtfully.
It seems that Nanami Ishida's unintentional words may have really hit the mark.
Shiratori Jinzaburo and Yuya carried Urata Yuta's body to the storage room and placed it side by side with Kanye Mika.
Shiratori Renzaburo sighed and said, "Why didn't Mr. Urata let go? It's just a fish, is it that important?"
Youya stroked his chin, looking thoughtful: "Maybe he doesn't want to let go, but he can't let go."
Shiratori Renzaburo looked at Yuya in surprise: "What do you mean?"
Yuya said, "Before Mr. Urata fell into the water, I vaguely heard him shout something, but the wind and rain were so strong that I couldn't hear it clearly. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it was something like 'No, I can't let go'?"
Shiratori Renzaburo's expression changed: "Are you sure?"
Yuu did not answer immediately, but looked down at Urata Yuta on the ground, and suddenly found a sense of disharmony: "Inspector Shiratori, did you notice that Mr. Urata is missing something?"
When he heard Youye calling him Inspector instead of Brother, he immediately realized that Youye was starting to solve the case. He lowered his head and observed carefully for a while, then suddenly shouted, "His gloves are gone!"
Yuya nodded, resting one hand on his arm and the other on his chin, and analyzed, "Do you remember what Aunt Kirio said? She said 'It's hard to catch fish now'.
If what she said is true, then is there a possibility that the one who dragged Mr. Urata into the water was not a fish, but... a person?"
Shiratori Renzaburo's eyes widened: "According to you, Mr. Urata's fall into the water was not an accident, but a murder?"
Yuya said, "It's possible. If I'm not mistaken, the key information is on the gloves and the fishing rod. Unfortunately, there's probably no way to find it now. Even the evidence of murder has disappeared."
Shiratori Renzaburo's expression suddenly became even uglier.
After covering Yuta Urata's body with a blanket, the two left the storage room.
Yuya returned to the room and found Miyano Shiho.
"Mio, when Inspector Shiratori and I went out just now, were everyone else in the hotel?" Yuya asked.
Miyano Shiho recalled and said, "I went out to make coffee twice. During that time, except for Mr. Kirei and Mr. Izu who were in the room the whole time, I saw everyone else."
"Is that so..." Yuya nodded thoughtfully.
"What have you discovered?" Miyano Shiho couldn't help asking as she looked at him thinking.
Youye said: "I have some doubts, but the biggest problem now is that we have no evidence, so don't make it public for now."
Miyano Shiho nodded obediently.
···
After a barely ok lunch, the storm outside finally stopped.
Wu Sheng looked at the clearing sky and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Yuya took Miyano Shiho's hand and walked to Kirio's side.
"Aunt Kirio, I have a question to ask you." Youye suddenly spoke as he looked at the sea that had calmed down.
Wu Sheng looked at him with some surprise and asked, "What's the problem?"
"How do you know when you can catch fish and when you can't? Yesterday when Inspector Shiratori and I went out, you said we could catch fish. And today when Mr. Izu went out, you said with certainty that we couldn't catch any fish."
"Can you tell me why?"
Wu Sheng smiled and said, "It's just a feeling."
Yuya raised an eyebrow: "Is that so? If I'm not mistaken, this should be related to the Siren's cry, right?"
Kirio fell silent and looked at Yuya intently.
Yuya observed the details of Kirio's expression and smiled slightly: "It seems that I was right."
Wu Sheng's face trembled slightly, and he asked, "I obviously didn't say anything, why are you so sure?"
Yuya smiled slightly: "It's just a feeling."
Wu Sheng didn't know what to say for a moment. He didn't expect that the words he just used to perfunctorily treat the other party would be used to perfunctorily treat him immediately.
He looked at Yuya, then at Miyano Shiho beside him, and after a while he said, "You are not an ordinary high school student, right? Who are you?"
Yuya squeezed Miyano Shiho's soft little hand, earning her an eye roll, and said with a smile, "Kamiya Yuya, he's a detective."
Wu Sheng's eyes widened slightly: "Detective..."
"Yuya Kamiya is a famous high school detective in Tokyo with a 100% crime-solving rate. It is said that there is no case in the world that he cannot solve." Ishida Nanami appeared from nowhere and revealed Yuya's identity.
The three of them couldn't help but look at her.
Ishida Nanami smiled proudly: "Am I right? Then, Detective Kamiya Yuya, can you uncover the truth about the Siren's cry?"
Youya shrugged his shoulders, not wanting to pay attention to this female reporter with an overly vivid imagination.
If you talk to this kind of person and say something wrong by mistake, it might make the headlines the next day.
He turned to Wu Sheng and continued, "Can you tell me now, Aunt Wu Sheng?"
Kirio's expression has returned to calm, and Youye suddenly finds that her temperament has changed significantly. She doesn't look like a middle-aged person who lives alone and runs a hotel at all. Instead, she looks as if she has experienced many changes in the world and has let go of everything.
"During the war, there was a Japanese Navy base on this island..."
