Chapter 767: We have to depend on ourselves

Yuuki was eating breakfast even though there was that shark incident but overall this holiday was good. He could see that everyone had become an acutance to each other and they could live in harmony. He was glad that he had done this now. He felt that this holiday was fun if only....

*Shake

Suddenly there was another earthquake that was happening.

Everyone had gotten used to this situation and didn't show a panicked expression.

"There are a lot of earthquakes happening here," Yukana said.

"Yuuki, the smell of squid is quite near, nyaa," Kuroka said.

Yuuki nodded, "Yeah, that thing might be coming tonight."

The wind is quite strong right now but the sun is quite bright.

They had decided to go for another adventure for the treasure hunter game on this island.

"I wonder what happened yesterday?" Paula said since she heard quite a loud alarm last night.

"I'm not sure, but don't worry too much, let's just eat," Ranko said.

They nodded and continued their breakfast since they would go for another adventure later. They only needed one riddle before they had finished this treasure hunter game.

Conan looked at the tires of the bicycle to check whether it was matching with the one on the crime scene yesterday.

Professor Agasa helped him with his device but it didn't match. They tried to observe the bicycle and found out that there was a GPS tracker on the bicycle.

They didn't stay too long since they were called by everyone to eat breakfast. They started to eat while talking about the things that they would do later.

The man who was the owner of the house where they were staying told them not to go to the sea since there would be a storm later in the afternoon.

The detective boys group decided to finish this treasure hunter as soon as possible.

Conan didn't follow them since he still wanted to check on something.

They were pretty disappointed and decided to join Yuuki and the other big sister.

Ran and Sonoko decided to visit the diving shop to see whether they could rent the ship to look around the sea.

Kogorou went out to join the investigation with the other police.

They had their own matter and decided to do it fast since there would be a storm later.

"You want to visit the sea?" Yuuki asked.

"Yes, can you take a boat or something?" Akane asked.

"..." Yuuki was speechless but nodded, "I can do it but let's do it later after we have done with the last riddle."

"But there might be a storm in the afternoon," Makoto said. Her sense was very good that she could also make a prediction about the weather.

"Don't worry, I will make a very sturdy boat later," Yuuki said.

"Can this boat be used to fight a monster?" Koneko asked.

"..."

"It should be," Yuuki nodded. He had checked it and there was something happening on this island. He was sure that it was somehow connected to the thing that he had talked with Vali and everyone before. He had decided to check it later but with his own boat since it was easier that way.

They had done their breakfast and went together to check the last riddle of the treasure hunt.

"Oh, that's right, can you make pirate clothes later? I want to do cosplay!" Akeno said.

"....."

"Sure, why not?" Yuuki thought that they should become very beautiful pirates that tried to rob his heart or something later.

Conan went to the bicycle rental and found out that it was only their bike which had a GPS tracker. He didn't see a GPS tracker in any other bicycle in this place. He decided to go to the Iwanaga's office and overheard that there would be a small typhoon that would happen in the afternoon. He didn't find anything else and went to the police station to eavesdrop the conversation of the police. He walked slowly and peeked through the window. He could hear that they were talking about how to catch both of the treasure hunters who were on the running on this island.

"Matsumoto and Izayama haven't come back to the hotel yet, but there isn't any sign that they've left. They're probably hiding somewhere," Megure said.

"At least one of them was shot. They should be looking for a doctor," Shiratori said.

"I've checked with the clinics, but there's no sign of them," Takagi said.

"As for the diving shop owner, Mabuchi, what Conan saw last night was Matsumoto asking her to prepare a boat for them to flee," Sato said.

"The cartridge cases that Takagi collected were from old bullets and they were kept for a long time," Kogorou said.

"We are checking with the hunter's association in regards to the rifle," Megure said.

*knock! knock!

The door of their meeting room was knocked by someone.

"Please enter," Megure said.

"Sorry to interrupt," Uehira entered the room and said, "I just got the report saying that Mineo-san, a member of the hunter's association, is missing a riffle."

"Mineo-san?" Megure asked.

Uehira nodded, "Yes, he is an old man who is living by himself. His niece Mabuchi Chika, who runs the diving shop, takes care of him."

They were surprised.

Megure had a serious expression and said, "Ask Mineo-san for details and please ask Mabuchi-an to come over."

"Yes sir," Uehira said and went on to do his task.

Iwanaga looked at them and asked, "Please do your best to find the stolen cutlass and pistol!" He bowed to them with desperate expression.

Megure nodded, "We'll do our best."

"So why did they have to wait until now to steal while all of the police are here?" Sato asked.

"Yeah, while there was only Uehira-san, it would have been much easier to get off of the island," Takagi said.

"Maybe the criminal was worried that his identity might be exposed if this went on," Shiratori said.

"What about the backup from Tokyo?" Iwanaga asked.

"Helicopters and sh.i.p.s can't come here because of the low air pressure," Megure said.

Iwanaga was disappointed when he heard it.

"We have to depend on ourselves not only to look for Matsumoto but also to be the person who tried to kill them," Megure said.

They nodded and started their actions.

Conan who had been eavesdropping on them decided to go back and asked someone again about a treasure hunter since he knew someone who was very knowledgable about that job.
