Chapter 980: Mao Li Lan's Plea

Akaso Kaze observes the few divers from the side.

The wealthy man with long hair parted in the middle, who keeps coughing while wearing a mask.

The short-haired man, Kaida, who wears an eyepatch and doesn't talk much.

And the man with the headscarf, Seiri, who has a bandage stuck to the corner of his mouth.

They are indeed the people who shouted from the other ship when they approached the Dragon Horn Rock earlier. Interestingly, they weren't questioned at the time; they just shouted once and left in a hurry.

Akaso Kaze's gaze jumps to the matching diving watches on the wrists of the young men.

"Are your diving watches all the same?"

"Yeah, the Young Lady had them made for us, saying that a diving group should have a symbol that everyone has."

"May I take a look?"

"I suppose you can," they say impatiently, "but Officer, how long do you plan to stay here? The sun is almost setting."

Yokomizo Sango also feels that staying on the cramped Dragon Horn Rock is inappropriate and inconvenient for the investigation. Hearing this, he muses, "Then let's go to the police station first. I still need to ask you about clues regarding the culprit."

"That won't be necessary."

Akaso Kaze, having looked at the watches, suddenly speaks up and interrupts.

The group, already prepared to leave, stops in their tracks.

"There's no need for such trouble," Akaso Kaze says, returning the diving watch to them. "I already know the name of the murderer."

"What?"

The young men don't bother to take the diving watch, exclaiming in surprise, "What do you mean?"

"Hey, hey, you've been talking about a murderer since just now. Isn't this just an accident?" the man with the headscarf asks, puzzled. ===== CHAPTER 982 =====
