Chapter 242: Murder on the Ship

"So, I'll hang up first. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" The phone call with Shiho quickly hung up, and although I still wanted to talk to Shiho for a while, Shiho was still busy recalling the ingredients of the antidote, and I couldn't continue to bother her. After confirming with her that I wanted to go to bed early, I hung up the phone and went back to Xiaolan's room, and while walking, I was thinking about how to deal with Pu Siqinglan's problem. Although there is no direct evidence, it is based on the idea that it is better to kill by mistake than to let go. I'm also going to get to the bottom of Pu Si Qinglan.

Back at the door of my room, I knocked on the door, but no one inside answered. It's strange, where did Xiaolan go so late?

"Little brother, are you a guest in this room?" an unfamiliar voice sounded in the hallway, and when I looked sideways, I saw a maid lady walking towards me.

"Well, may I ask my sister, do you know where the people who live with me have gone?"

"Well, that little girl in this room just ran downstairs to the guest room with Secretary Nishino. It seems that there has been a murder there, and the police have arrived. ”

"What!?" I asked, with a shock to my body. "Who died?"

"It seems to be a man named Ryu Kankawa. But little brother, don't go over there, dead people are terrible. The maid kindly reminded.

"Well, okay, thank you sister. But I'm going to find my family too. With that, I waved my hand and left. walked to the corridor downstairs, and at this time, everyone had already gathered here, including Pu Si Qinglan and others.

"Sister Xiaolan. I shouted at Lan who was standing outside the door.

"Kaoru-chan, are you back?" Hearing my voice, Ran turned to look at me. "Where have you been? ”

"I went to the deck to blow the wind, what's wrong here?" I asked knowingly.

"Mr. Ryu Kankawa was killed. Xiaolan said with a scared face. "The prisoner hasn't been found yet, I haven't seen you for so long, I thought... Kaoru-chan, you can't run around next. ”

"Well, well, I'll be honest with you. I smiled and nodded. Seeing me like this, Xiaolan also nodded reassuringly. "By the way, what's going on inside?"

"I don't know. Xiaolan shook her head. "I only know that Mr. Hanchuan Ryu was shot through the right eye with a gun. The whereabouts of the prisoner are still unknown, and Officer Twilight is already on his way. The pendant that hung around Mr. Ryukawa's neck was also missing. ”

"Pendants?"

"Well, it is said to be the ring of Maria, the third daughter of Nicholas II. It was discovered by Miss Pu Si Qinglan. But whether it is true or not remains to be determined. ”

"Hey... I pretended to know, but my heart kept thinking. If Pu Si Qinglan was the killer on that mission list, then she could naturally see it at a glance about the things of the Arman Dynasty, so why was it necessary to kill people because of a ring? And this thing was also dirty, and it would cause a body search. It's not wise to carry a gun and trigger a frisk.

"Kaoru, you're back. While he was thinking, Conan walked out of the room. "Come with me. With that, Conan pulled me around the corner of the hallway.

"What's wrong, so impatient. Around the corner, I asked Conan.

"Where did you aim when you used to shoot your target?"

"Huh?" I was stunned by Conan's sudden question.

"Well, I didn't mean to offend, I just wanted to ask. Because the cold river dragon was pierced through the right eye. So I would like to ask, about ... ”

"Oh, that's right. I shrugged. "Theoretically, if it's this kind of room-infiltrating assassination, I'm going to use a dagger. Because there won't be much evidence left. But with a gun ... Above the torso can be fatal, after all, less than five meters away. As long as you have a little marksmanship, you can kill. But the words of the right eye... If it wasn't intentional, most people wouldn't choose their eyes. It's too small. I frowned. "Did you go in by wiping your eye sockets?"

"No, it was a direct eyeball and a brain piercing. Conan said.

"Where's the bullet?"

"I don't know, it's still in my head, and I didn't wear it out. Conan thought for a moment and said to me at the scene of the crime.

"That's right. It seems that we can only wait for the police to come. I thought about it.

"Well, I just wanted to ask you, do you know of any killer who specializes in hitting someone in the right eye?"

"I really don't know about that. I thought with a frown. "At least there should be no such person in Japan, and I don't have a similar memory in my memory. After all, the right eye is too difficult to aim. Unless there is an infrared sighting device, but it is thankless, a little experience will not give you the opportunity to aim at the right eye at all, unless it is an ordinary person, the kind that cannot be moved by the pressure of the killing air. ”

"You mean, if this killer really only targets the target's right eye, then this killer shouldn't be terrible?"

"There are too few terrible opponents for me, but as long as there are guns, all killers, even ordinary people with guns, are terrible, aren't they?"

"Well, you're right. Conan said solemnly. "Anyway, can you help me find out about this killer?"

"Hmmm... In fact, I've gotten a little bit of an eyebrow about it. "After thinking about it, I decided to share this secret with Conan.

"What? you know?" Conan was surprised.

"No, it's just a rough determination of who the killer is, but, I don't dare to act rashly, who knows if the others are accomplices, but the death of Hanchuan Dragon has created an opportunity for me. At this point, the corners of my mouth revealed a hint of evil. "After the police interrogated me, I was able to sneak into their room alone and... Kill them all!"

“。。。 Don't make a fuss, let's be serious. Conan gave me a blank look. "Who do you think it is?"

"Pu Si Qinglan, but I'm afraid that she has a party, so I need you to help me contain it, and I'm going to find a chance to ask her alone. ”

“。。 Well, can you not kill her?" Conan thought for a moment.

"If she's willing to cooperate. ”

“。。 Then you be careful. I went and asked the doctor to see if I could find anything from the international blacklist. Without further ado, Conan was the first to step out of the corner.

―――――――――――― Detective Conan's theatrical version of the magician at the end of the century――――――――――

Half an hour later, Officer Twilight arrived on our cruise ship in a helicopter. He was accompanied by Officer Takagi and Officer Shiratori... All right. There is also Officer Shiratori in Kaito's disguise. This kid touched it back without making a sound, and he didn't tell me in advance. I've been worried for so long. But it's right to think about it, he needs to find time to investigate the person who can be disguised, but he doesn't even reply to a text message, which is a bit too much to say.

Because of the arrival of the police, everyone was called to the hall for questioning, Conan followed Officer Twilight and they ran to the crime scene, while I sat next to Xiaolan, quietly waiting, and at the same time monitoring Pu Siqinglan's every move. Due to the arrival of the police, it is believed that the gun she was carrying had been thrown into the sea. Otherwise, once she is searched, she can't run away if she wants to. But in the same way, she is here now, and I don't have a chance to find her alone, do I really want to let her leave the ship and go back? You'll have to find a way to get rid of the police, or find a chance to meet with Pu Si Qinglan alone.

It didn't take long for Conan to return with Officer Twilight and the others. But it seems to be coming towards us in a directional way.

"Mr. Nishino, please come out for a moment, we have something to ask you. Walking up to us, Officer Twilight said solemnly. Following Officer Twilight, Mr. Nishino came to a corner of the hall, only to see Officer Twilight holding an evidence bag with a ballpoint pen like Mr. Nishino asking something, judging from the shape of his mouth, this ballpoint pen should be Mr. Nishino's, but it appeared in Ryu's room Yunyun.

"Sure enough, is it a sham?" I peeked at Pu Si Qinglan, and felt her heartbeat with my ear sideways, and I didn't feel that her heart rate had changed too much.

"Kaoru, I'm going to call the doctor now, I'll ask you here. Conan whispered to me.

"Etirasai~" I smiled at Conan without changing my face.

"Uh... You stare at the dots. Conan was speechless After all, the prisoner had already been locked, so Conan planned to deal with the matter of whether Mr. Nishino was framed or not. So he ran out. But as soon as she ran out, Xiaolan stood up and followed. Seeing this, I couldn't help but shake my head and keep up with Xiaolan's pace.

At this time, it is not the time for Xiaolan to discover Conan's identity. But my worries were unnecessary, just as I followed Lan to the corner of the stairs on the deck. Xiaolan, who walked around the corner before me, suddenly started talking to someone. Listening to that voice, it was Officer Shiratori, that is, Kaito.

"Miss Xiaolan, the prisoner hasn't been caught yet, and it's very dangerous for you to go alone. The prisoner still has a gun in his hand. ”

"But, Conan, he. . . Xiaolan seemed to want to argue for herself. But it was interrupted by Shiratori.

"Conan-kun is on the phone over there, I'll take him back in a moment. So, you go back first. Out of concern for Xiaolan's safety, Kaito used a slightly tough tone to persuade Xiaolan back, of course, when Xiaolan turned back, he didn't see me hiding in the corner.

Watching Xiaolan go downstairs and go back to the hall, I came out of the corner and walked towards Kuaito.

"I said, you haven't been gone for a few days and you don't know what you mean by writing back to me. I looked at Kaito with some displeasure.

"Shhh Whisper. Hearing my voice, Kaito hurriedly changed back to his frizzy appearance, "That detective is calling inside, let's go over there." With that, Kaito pushed me to the end of the hallway. "But then again, why can you see through it at a glance every time I disguise it, am I so badly disguised?"

"It's just that we know each other too well, and I've also made a note of your walking habits and heartbeat, and if you want to pass by me without a trace, you have to change your footsteps and body posture. I rolled my half-moon eyes and complained. "Looking at you like this, you shouldn't have been hurt that night, right?"

"Hey, don't mention it, if it weren't for the body armor you gave me, I might have really hung up. Kaito, disguised as a white bird, said with a sigh. "Those two shots hit me in the chest, but luckily your body armor worked great, it just hurt a little, and then I lost my balance and fell into the sea. But the blood that is built-in. I thought I was going to die. ”

"Okay, it's good to be alive, but that dress can't be used once you use it, after all, the blood bag is in the way, but if it's just used to prevent bullets, you can continue to use it, but it's okay, I'll give you another one later." I shrugged. "But do you mean to come back now, or do you have a fantasy about that egg?"

"yes, I've lost a pigeon for that egg," Kaito said with a look of frustration. "If I don't steal that egg back, I'm sorry for my little white!"

"Xiaobai?"

"The pigeon. ”

"And what are your other pigeons called?

"Uh... Can we not complain about this problem?"

"Don't worry, your Xiaobai is resting in my bedroom now, I'm a little injured, and I picked it up by Kudo. But I've already treated it and I'm sure it will get better soon. ”

"Eh, really! Great!" Kaito said excitedly, then quickly covered his mouth and lowered his voice. I'm afraid that Conan, who is not far away, will hear something.

"Let me go for the time being, you can't take it now. I'll wait for the case to be closed, and I'll talk about it when I get back. I said calmly. "By the way, I'll need you to do me a favor then. ”

"Help?

"To be exact, to do the great detective a favor. I scratched my head and told Kuaidou about the lottery in the temple and Xiaolan's speculation afterwards.

"Hey. Then this confused detective is really a bit reckless. Kaito replied after listening to my narration.

"Yes, in terms of solving crimes, the IQ is 250, and in dealing with other things, the IQ is 025. "I spread my hands. "Anyway, I'm worried about what Xiaolan will say afterwards, so I'll leave it to you when the time comes. ”

"Oh, it's easy. And he helped me find Xiaobai, and I should repay it. Kaito smiled and agreed to me. "Anyway, how is your progress going? Did you find the prisoner who sniped me?"

"It's basically locked, and tonight, I'm going to talk to her. If I can, I need you to create some opportunities for me. ”

"Who is it?"

"Pu Si Qinglan. ”

"Huh?!, it's the sister with beautiful legs?"

"If you want to be left on this ship forever, I don't mind you molesting her. I looked at Kaito with disdain.

"Aha, ahaha... Kaito smiled awkwardly. "But, are you sure?"

"I don't look at evidence in my work, after all, evidence can be faked. ”

"Then you are judging on the basis of ... ”

"Intuition. I tugged at the corners of my mouth. "One killer, intuition for another!" )
