Ikkaku Rock Case
File 664 - Ikkaku Rock
After a day of highly successful sea fishing (on some island within the boundaries of Kanagawa Prefecture), Okiya comes in a large boat to take the Detective Boys back to the mainland. They are all expecting Agasa, and so are surprised to see Okiya, and Haibara is additionally scared, as she insists that Okiya has the special “smell” that uniquely belongs to Black Organization members. Conan (behind whom Haibara is now hiding), on the other hand, is not worried at all, and says to Haibara that maybe her opinion is preconceived. Okiya does not seem to notice Haibara’s fear of him, and helps her go onto the boat when she slips; Haibara seems genuinely surprised by the fact that nothing bad happened to her and that Okiya seems nice.
The boat starts sailing. It is near evening, and the driver, Iwao Ida (whom the Detective Boys got to know in file 45) suggests that the Detective Boys come to the deck to enjoy the stunningly beautiful sunset glow. They obey happily, and while looking at the sun falling down the horizon, they spot something spiking out of the sea. Ida explains that the spike is actually a tiny odd-shaped isle called “Ikkaku rock”, and that according to legends it is the horn of a sea-dwelling dragon. This dragon is said to dislike fishermen so much that she will try to sink any boat approaching (for this reason boats tend to avoid the seas around Ikkaku rock), but likes children very much. Upon hearing this, Ayumi and Genta both shout that they want to visit it; as a result, to Ikkaku rock they go. As they approach, another boat appears, and Ida reckons that the three people (called Yusaji Kaita, Rokusuke Oto and Shuhei Aosato respectively) on that boat are divers trying to become friends with some rich entrepreneur’s daughter. They seem to be looking for someone, and when Aosato comments that “it does not appear to be near here” they sail away.
The boat eventually reaches the island, and Okiya and the Detective Boys immediately start exploring. Okiya finds a rock that has been carved very recently, and the carvings are katakana characters meaning “mackerel, carp, sea beam, flounder”; meanwhile, Conan finds a single flipper inserted into the gap between two rocks. He immediately senses something wrong, as leaving the flipper here means that the person that depended on it to reach the isle could not return, and the carvings might be some sort of message. Therefore, Conan decides to run to the other side of the isle to see whether anything is going on there, and he ends up finding the body of a woman who died a few hours ago of dehydration. Beside the body there is a diving tank and a scuba regulator, and the part of the scuba regulator that is supposed to make contact with the mouth is clean despite the woman having lipstick on. Conan and Okiya believe that this means that someone (for some unknown reason) replaced the regulator after the woman’s death but did not call the police, which makes it likely that they are dealing with a murder case.

Jugo Yokomizo arrives at the crime scene and comes to the same conclusion as Conan and Okiya after examining the body. He is then told about the strangely inserted flipper and the carvings, but cannot figure out their carver or their purpose. Conan argues that the carver was definitely the victim: there is a wristwatch on the isle whose abrasions are of a width that matches the width of the carvings, and there is a clear mark on the wrist of the victim whose width matches that of the watch. Furthermore, since the wristwatch is well-hidden, it is unlikely that the murderer carved to confuse the police, as he (or she) would want to leave the isle as quickly as possible and thus simply toss the watch aside after carving. Conan then hands the wristwatch to Yokomizo, who notices the initials H.A. on the back of the watch, the words “Akamine angle … club” and an indiscernible word between “angle” and “club” that has been removed by rubbing that part of the watch against some surface.
Having established that the fish names constitute a dying message, Conan further reveals that the victim is called Hikari Akamine, the only child of a banker who opened a branch in Kanagawa Prefecture only recently. Yokomizo is stunned by Conan’s knowledge of the victim’s identity, but before he has a chance to ask how Conan figured it all out he (and everyone else) is distracted by an approaching boat. It is the three young men that Conan and company encountered a while ago, and they explain (after Yokomizo tells them about the situation) that the victim is their friend, that they often dive together and that she disappeared during a dive three days ago, leaving them nothing but an email reading “you guys, take care of the rest!”. Yokomizo asks how they reacted to the message, and they say that they did nothing during the first two days, as it is not the first time that Akamine disappears and leaves such a message. Once, she reappeared on the second day after partying all night long on another boat, and was very unhappy when realizing that her friends had called the police (to search for her). They also reveal that Akamine prefers going into the ocean alone (as opposed to going in a group or finding a partner to form a pair, which is a safer and the standard practice) despite not knowing how to swim, and that her stubbornness imperiled her life during a dive half a year ago and resulted in the death of a diver and friend called Yoshiro. Yokomizo wants to know more about this person, but Aosato insists that he has nothing to do with the case at hand; thus Yokomizo asks instead about the band-aid that he has attached under the mouth. Aosato claims that he is just trying to cover the scar formed after popping a pimple the day before; he adds that he did so while navigating the Internet in a cybercafé (he wanted to see whether there was any news concerning Akamine) and supporting his chin on one of the hands.
At this point, Conan notices that all three divers have a wristwatch identical to Akamine’s; he thus knows very soon that the word between “angle” and “club” is “fish”.

These words seem to make Conan and Okiya realize something, and they soon are able to decode the dying message and know who the murderer is. Conan thanks his friends for inspiring him, and Okiya remarks that children’s naive comments cannot be underestimated and dismissed.
