Chapter 129: Murder on a Luxury Cruise Ship (6)

The restaurant, which was supposed to be lively, was now silent.

Everyone's face was written with a heaviness, a thick one like a dark cloud over Castlevania that would never dissipate.

"Sister, are you okay?"

Looking at Qiu Jiang, who was immersed in the pain of losing her husband, Xia Jiang couldn't help but reach out and put his hand on her shoulder, wanting to try to comfort her.

After all, they have lost two family members, and they are bound to cherish these talents who are still in front of them even more.

However, not all kindness can be understood by others, and not everyone is as kind as her. Maybe it's because he's older and has seen more of the ugliness of the world, and as an older sister, Qiu Jiang obviously can't understand this behavior as a younger sister as kindness.

"It's okay, how can it be okay!" Qiu Jiang angrily shook off Xia Jiang's hand on his shoulder, and glared at her with teary eyes, "It's all your fault! It's all your fault that you brought Xiao Wu into our house, that's why this happened!"

"How, how come? I'm not, I don't...... And Brother Xiao Wu, he's not—"

It seemed that he didn't expect his sister to suddenly point the finger at her, Xia Jiang was a little stunned all of a sudden.

"Yes, it's all your plan, Xia Jiang!"

Just when Xia Jiang wanted to explain something, a voice cut her off in advance.

"Let the titular fiancé kill his grandfather, and then push him out as a substitute for the dead, so that he can inherit all the inheritance, and then leave us behind, and live a good life with that kid from the Yuchai family, right?"

It was a sinister statement, as if it had thrown into it all the worst malice imaginable.

"How-how? inheritance or something, I never—"

Xia Jiang couldn't help but turn his head, but saw that his aunt was looking evil, staring at him and sneering.

That smile made Xia Jiang cold in his heart and aroused goosebumps all over his body.

"So, do you dare to renounce your inheritance here in front of all of us?"

A short-sighted person, no matter how vicious, can never hide his thoughts. The second sentence of Mariko Shimoto's mouth had already exposed her ugly face cleanly, as well as her equally ugly eating appearance.

"Actually, Mr. Xiao Wu may not be the murderer......"

At this time, Conan, who finally couldn't stand it, put down the ice cream in his hand and said such a sentence vigorously.

"What did you say?"

Although this voice was immature, it exuded a transcendent calmness and confidence, which made everyone can't help but turn their heads to look at him.

"Ke, Conan?" Xiaolan couldn't help but tug at his sleeve, signaling him not to make a mess.

But this time, he didn't listen to Xiaolan's words, but took a deep breath and spoke seriously.

"Mr. Xiao Wu may not be the murderer, the reason is ......" Conan couldn't help but take out the previous words that Eagle Ya used to persuade Xia Jiang and re-say it, "Of course, this is Eagle Ya's brother's reasoning, I just repeated his words." ”

Originally, this kind of thing should have been done by Eagle Ya himself, after all, Xia Jiang kicked his fiancé for him, and it was his obligation to protect others. But at the moment, this guy seems to have fallen into the toilet, so this scene can only be helped by his friend.

"I don't want to agree with that little ghost, but unfortunately, Detective Ben thinks so too. Maori coughed lightly twice, straightened his face, and then said to everyone present, "Mr. Xiao Wu has not heard from him until now, and if he is not the murderer, it is likely that he has been killed." And everyone here is very likely to be the murderer!"

"You, what are you talking about? are we murderers?" Hearing Maori's words, everyone present couldn't help but show a look of disbelief, and Qiu Jiang roared even more excitedly, "You don't suspect the most motivated person, you actually come to suspect us? Do you think I'm going to kill my grandfather and husband! You foolish detective!"

"Confused, confused detective?" Hearing this title, Maori couldn't help but blow up, "You actually slandered my detective Maori Kogoro as a confused detective? Let me tell you, the real detective came to this conclusion by a rigorous reasoning process! And Miss Akie, you said that you would not kill your grandfather and her husband, then I may ask, why did you suspect Miss Xia Jiang just now? For her, it was also her grandfather and brother-in-law! The motive is not necessarily obvious, it may be buried very deeply, and no one knows what it is! ”

"You-"

"I think Mr. Detective has a point, and the motive may be very deep. ”

Just when Qiu Jiang wanted to say something, Mariko Akimoto on the side couldn't help but open her mouth again.

This time, she targeted her eldest niece.

"What do you want to say, auntie?"

Qiu Jiang couldn't help but turn her head and glared angrily at the person who had been poking people in the sore spot since the beginning, her own aunt.

"Isn't this exactly what you expected?" "Mariko Sneered, "Don't play stupid with us, don't you think we don't know, you already have a wild man outside!"

"I know why you said that!" Qiu Jiang snorted coldly, as if he was not surprised that the other party would say such a thing, "You said this to divert everyone's attention, right! Actually, Aunt Mariko, you are the most murderous one, because of the inheritance!"

"Please, stop arguing!"

"In that case, Ichiro also has a motive to kill his grandfather!"

Xia Jiang wanted to speak out to dissuade them, but they were already carried away by panic and desire, how could they listen to them at this moment?

As one "black history" after another was exposed, Xia Jiang only felt more and more uncomfortable, and his face couldn't help but become more and more pale.

Is this still her sister who cares about her despite her mean mouth?

Is this still the aunt who used to take her around to play and gently wipe her sweat?

Is this still the family she knows?

"Are you okay, Xia Jiang?" At this time, Xiaolan noticed Xia Jiang's pale face, "Do you want to take a break?"

"Well, I'm fine, Xiaolan," seeing Xiaolan's worried gaze, Xia Jiang's heart felt a little better, and he couldn't help but smile at Xiaolan reluctantly, "I maybe, I just need to wash my face to calm down." Xiaolan, can you accompany me to the bathroom?"

In fact, they were about to go just now, but they didn't expect that something like that would happen halfway through.

"Of course, I want to go too. Xiaolan couldn't help but nod and smiled at Xia Jiang.

Her smile is always soft and firm, like a pair of gentle hands, gently patting your back. Heal your pain and lift your spine once more. This was once complained about by Eagle Arrow's mother-like smile, which is the unique personality charm of Maolilan.

And this smile is exactly what Shinichi himself said, the reason why he unconsciously liked her. Therefore, Eagle Ya has maliciously guessed for a while whether this kid is just too lacking in maternal love. After all, his mother's virtue ......

Of course, this is a bit of a stretch. However, Xiaolan's smile did give Xia Jiang a lot of strength and made her face look much better.

"I'm going to the bathroom, too. ”

At this time, Ichiro Minamoto, who had been silent since the beginning and was drawing in a muffled voice, couldn't help but stand up.

"Ichiro, are you okay going alone?" said his father, Kitaro Namoto, worried.

After all, in this scene now, not only Xiao Wu, but everyone present seems to have become unbelievable.

"It's okay," Ichiro Shimoto just glanced at his father slightly, his attitude was as cold as ever, and there seemed to be a faint disgust in his tone, "I'm not like you, Dad, I'm a coward." ”

"Ichiro ......"

However, in the face of his son's cold words, Kitaro Namoto, as a father, didn't dare to refute at all, but just watched him leave weakly.

[What a pathetic man......]

Looking at Ichiro Shimoto's lonely back, and then at Mariko Samoto's ugly appearance, Conan couldn't help but be full of sympathy for the middle-aged man. However, there is more contempt. After all, there is no one else for a man to do this.

You may not be able to choose your life, but you can choose your attitude towards life. Resist, or compromise.

The road, after all, is still out on its own.

Conan thought so, his eyes no longer resting on this pathetic man, but following Xiaolan and them all the way away. It was as if the eyes under the black-rimmed glasses could pierce the walls and track them down like a reporter working for the daily planet.

in the bathroom.

The clear water was gurgling down from the silver-white faucet, caught by both hands, and gently splashed on the face.

That trace of coldness seemed to finally make Xia Jiang feel a little more comfortable, as if the boredom and uneasiness in his heart had been extinguished.

However, even so, there was still a question that kept appearing in Xia Jiang's mind, like a ghost, which could not be dispersed.

That is, what will become of this home?

Since his parents died in a car accident, Xia Jiang felt that this family had begun to change. Now, my grandfather is dead, my brother-in-law is dead, and the whole family is falling apart, like a huge ship that has leaked water, but she can't do anything......

Xia Jiang felt something slip from her eyes, and she couldn't tell whether it was water or her own tears.

"Eagle, teach me, what do I do......"

However, at this moment, with the sound of "Kata", the entire bathroom suddenly fell into darkness.

"Huh?" This sudden change couldn't help but make Xia Jiang exclaim.

"What's the matter, Xia Jiang, is there a power outage?" Xiaolan's voice came from the inside of the bathroom.

"I guess so...... Yikes!"

At this time, Xia Jiang suddenly felt as if there was movement behind her, and before she could turn around to check, a pair of powerful hands had stretched out from the darkness and grabbed her shoulders hard, and the pain and fear made her can't help but scream.

"Xia Jiang! what's wrong! Xia Jiang!" Hearing Xia Jiang's scream, Xiaolan couldn't help but hurriedly shouted.

"Xiaolan, help—" The screams stopped abruptly, as if someone had forcibly covered their mouths.

"Xia Jiang!

================================================================

"Bang!"

Just as the man stiffened from a stab in the air, the eagle instantly kicked the man in the stomach.

With a dull sound, the man was directly kicked out by the huge force of the eagle's kick, and slammed into the wall of the corridor, making a heavy impact sound that was painful to hear.

"Hmm!"

The man let out a mournful cry involuntarily, accompanied by a "ding dong", and the knife in his hand couldn't help but fall to the ground.

"There it is!"

Suddenly entering such a dark environment, even the trained eyes of Eagle Ya suddenly lost the ability to see, and fell into darkness. However, this did not prevent him from finding the location of his attacker.

"Yikes!"

However, just as he was about to rush forward to take down the attacker, Xia Jiang's scream suddenly came from his ears.

The abrupt scream made Hawk pause suddenly.

At that moment, the attacker had already picked up the knife that had fallen to the ground in a hurry and ran in the other direction.

So, two choices were once again placed in front of Eagle's eyes.

Is it to chase the attacker, or to see what happened to Xia Jiang?

Why did he learn this skill?

So with the faint starlight, Eagle Arrow did not hesitate to run in the opposite direction to the attacker's departure, to the women's toilet on the other side of the cabin.

"Xia Jiang!"

As Eagle ran towards the women's bathroom, she saw a figure hurrying away at the end of the hallway.

The light was very dim, and Eagle Arrow couldn't see the specific appearance of the man, but he just felt that the back of this departed person was very familiar.

"Xia Jiang, are you okay?"

At this time, Xiaolan's voice came from the women's toilet, and the worry made Eagle Arrow can't help but speed up her pace.

"Xia Jiang!"

When Eagle Arrow arrived, Xia Jiang was sitting on the floor of the women's bathroom, breathing heavily. The whole person leaned on Xiaolan's arms, as if only by leaning on her body could he barely sit still.

"Xia Jiang, are you alright?" Eagle Arrow couldn't help but quickly grab her hand, only to find that her cold was terrifying.

"Eagle, eagle!"

Hearing his voice, as if he had finally found the backbone, Xia Jiang couldn't help but pounce into his arms and hugged him hard. Hawkya could feel her trembling slightly, and her arms that were so tight that they felt a little painful.

It could be seen that she was really a little frightened.

"What just happened, Xiaolan?" said Yingya with relief as he stroked Xia Jiang's back and turned to Xiaolan.

"Someone attacked Miss Xia Jiang!" Xiao Lan said.

"What did you say?" Taka couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Well, it's true," Xia Jiang seemed to calm down a little, Xia Jiang raised his head from Eagle Arrow's arms, "Just now, someone covered my mouth in the dark, as if trying to drag me away!

"It's really worthy of Lan Woman! It's reliable at critical moments!" Eagle Arrow couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Xiao Lan.

"Instead of complimenting me, it's better to reflect on yourself!" Xiaolan glanced at him angrily, "Isn't this kind of thing supposed to be done by yourself, where have you been since the beginning!"

"Ah, I just ......"

"Ah——!h

However, just as Takaya was about to say something, another scream reached everyone's ears.

What's going on tonight?

Eagle Ya instinctively wanted to stand up, but forgot that Xia Jiang was still tightly leaning on her arms, and she directly took her whole person up and hugged her away from the ground. The sudden weightlessness couldn't help but cause Xia Jiang to scream.

"Ah, I'm sorry. Eagle Arrow looked at Xia Jiang, who was shrunk in his arms, and Eagle Arrow couldn't help but scratch his head in embarrassment.

"It's okay, I understand. After the initial panic, Xia Jiang couldn't help but smile slightly, and then jumped out of Eagle Arrow's arms, "You go, don't worry about me, I will Xiaolan follow Xiaolan closely, she will protect me." ”

"Well, then be careful yourself. Lan Woman, please leave it to you!"

Seeing such an empathetic Xia Jiang, Yingya couldn't help but show a grateful smile, and then said a word to Xiaolan over there.

With that, he ran in the direction where the screams came from without looking back.

"You're the one, be careful......"

Looking at his back as he left in a hurry, Xia Jiang couldn't help but sigh worriedly, but his eyes were full of appreciation and love.

She thanked God for letting him appear in front of her eyes completely in her mind again.

There is not a point missing, nor a point off, ten years have not smoothed his edges and corners, but sharpened the blade of the sword more and more sharply.

He is still the boy in his memory, and he can still do his best for others.

This is exactly what Xia Jiang will like about him.

"Miss Xia Jiang, what's wrong with you, are you worried about him?"

Seeing that the corners of Xia Jiang's eyes were stained with tears again, Xiaolan on the side couldn't help but hurriedly handed over her handkerchief.

"Ah, no," Xia Jiang couldn't help but smile and wipe the sparkle from the corners of his eyes, and smiled at Xiaolan, "I'm just happy." ”

The smile was so bright, like a star, shining in the dark night.

=====================================================================

When Eagle Arrow arrived at the scene, it was already full of people.

Just about two meters away from the men's bathroom, around the corner of the corridor, Ichiro Namoto was clutching his thighs and wailing in pain.

Hideous blood was pouring out from between his palms and fingers, following his screams and spreading into everyone's hearts.

"Ichiro, are you alright?"

Mariko couldn't help but cover her mouth, looking at her son lying in a pool of blood with some anxiety but some horror.

"Quick, call an ambulance! No, no, no, bandage! Someone bandage him!"

Kitaro was so frightened that he kept shouting to the people around him, but he never came close to the blood.

"Hey, Conan, give me your handkerchief!"

It was Maori who walked over immediately, blood staining his shiny shoes, but it didn't stick to his steps.

Conan also followed Maori over, and there was a small string of sneaker prints on the edge of the cowhide shoe prints in the blood pool.

"Conan, grab the lighter. Mr. Ichiro, it may hurt a little, so please bear with me. ”

Mori handed Conan the lighter for lighting, then took the handkerchief from his hand, folded it twice with great expertise, and then removed Ichiro's hands and wrapped the handkerchief around his thigh wound.

Blood stained his hands red, but it didn't hinder his movements in the slightest. That kind of ability and concentration finally reminded Conan on the side that this confused detective used to be a very good policeman.

"Okay, the wound can only be treated like this for the time being, and the follow-up work can only wait until I return to the rice flower and then go to the hospital for treatment. You're lucky, Mr. Ichiro, that the wound was superficial and didn't hurt the artery, otherwise the consequences would have been dire. ”

After bandaging Ichiro, Mori couldn't help but look up, trying to find something to wipe his hands, but found that a handkerchief had been handed to him. Looking in the direction, the pesky rich boy was grinning and handing the handkerchief in front of his eyes.

"Hmph, is it okay if such a precious handkerchief gets dirty?"

That being said, Maori honestly accepted his kindness.

"It's okay, Uncle De will wash it anyway. Takaya shrugged his shoulders and asked the uncle, "What just happened?"

"Because of the sudden power outage, all of us in the restaurant were worried about your safety, so we came to look for you. After wiping his hands, Mori threw the blood-stained handkerchief back to Taka Ya, and said, "Then, just as we were groping around, we suddenly heard Mr. Ichiro's screams, and we ran over and discovered it." ”

"In other words, uncle, did you just arrive?" Hawkya raised an eyebrow, "Did you see any suspicious characters?"

"I didn't see it for a while, but it was just dark, and we rushed desperately because we heard the screams, and we didn't have time to pay attention to the people around us for a while. Even if someone takes advantage of the chaos to blend into the crowd and take the opportunity to escape, it is not impossible. Maori took the lighter back from Conan's hand, glanced around at the people behind him, and said calmly.

"Indeed......" The night is deep, the moon is also covered by dark clouds, and the scattered starlight really cannot provide good illumination.

"Where did you go just now?" Mori couldn't help but glance at Takaya, "And just before Mr. Ichiro's scream, we seemed to hear Miss Natsue's voice, is she okay?"

"She's fine, just a little frightened. In fact, we were all attacked just now!"

Eagle took a deep breath and scanned the crowd's panicked, uneasy, or complicated expressions through the flickering light of the fire.

"What?" Mori exclaimed in surprise at Hawkya's words, "You've all been attacked, is it true that the murderer is desperate to attack the family or everyone associated with the family?"

"Oh, no, no!"

"This—...... such a thing"

"It's Xiao Wu! It must be Xiao Wu! Only he could do this!"

Just when everyone was shocked, Eagle Arrow spoke again, giving everyone an even more shocking news.

"No, it's likely that there was more than one attacker," Eagle Ya took a deep look at the various faces and continued, "Just after I was attacked, a scream rang out on Xia Jiang's side, so there were at least two attackers!"

"W-How is this possible!"

"Yes, besides Xiao Wu, who else could it be?"

The people on the scene were shaken again by the shocking news, and just as they were about to fall into a panic, Maori spoke.

"Okay, let's discuss the specific situation later, and I need to let Mr. Ichiro explain this matter to us personally. But before that, Mr. Beilang, please help Ling Lang back to the living room. Mr. Shoji, please take this glasses imp with Miss Akie to meet Miss Natsue and my daughter, and then take them back to the restaurant. Mori arranged the actions of the people very skillfully, and finally turned his gaze to Eagle Arrow, "As for you, come with me to the power distribution room at the bottom of the cabin to see what is going on." ”

"No problem. Takaya nodded, and even if he didn't have to say anything about Maori, he was ready to go over and have a look.

So, the group split up and watched them all walk in their own directions, and Mori and Taka also set off for the power distribution room.

"You can still use this watch as a flashlight?

Looking at the watch on Eagle Ya's wrist that shone a bright light from the dial, Mori couldn't help but be surprised.

"Ok, made-to-order. Eagle said as he continued to explore the path ahead.

"Custom-made, it looks like it must be very expensive, and it's a toy for you rich people......

Maori stared at his watch for a moment, then spat out something sour.

"Well, I don't know if it's expensive or not, because I haven't asked either......," Hawkya couldn't help but scratch his head, and said yes.

It's okay if he doesn't say it, as soon as he hears this, Maori can't help but blow his beard and stare angrily, and he almost wants to pierce him with his own eyes!

O evil capitalist landlord class!

"By the way, uncle, do you really think that the murderer is preparing to attack everyone related to the Rakamoto family?"

Just when Maori was very malicious in his heart and cursed that those who showed off their wealth should die, Eagle Ya, who was walking in front, suddenly asked.

"Considering that you have also been attacked, you have to think about this possibility. After all, if the motive is inheritance, you can't fight it. But," said Maori, who tapped a cigarette on the cigarette case, "if the motive is love killing, then it can be explained." ”

"So, uncle, do you still think the murderer is still Mr. Xiao Wu?" asked Eagle Ya couldn't help but ask.

"I don't rule it out, because what you said before is only evidence of the situation, and it does not substantially prove Xiao Wu's innocence. And if you consider it in terms of motives, he undoubtedly has the biggest suspicion when he has three motives of family feud, inheritance and love murder. ”

As he spoke, Maori put the cigarette in his mouth and lit it with a fire, took a deep breath, and exhaled a faint stream of smoke.

"Clear reasoning logic, really worthy of Detective Mori Kogoro!"

Eagle couldn't help but give a thumbs up and grin at Maori, a little less of the past and more from the heart.

"Hmph, that's natural, the so-called ginger is still old and spicy, don't think that you and that detective imp have some clever ideas, and it's great to solve a few cases. Detectives need more than just a flash of inspiration, but also the courage to doubt everything and rigorous logical reasoning. Hearing the praise of the eagle arrow, Maori suddenly nostrils turned to the sky, and he snorted very angrily, "When my detective Maori Kogoro opened a detective agency, you and that detective imp were still playing with mud!"

"Yes, yes, it's really remarkable to be able to hold on for so many years and not go out of business!"

"What did you say?"

"Nothing, nothing, for a while...... Ouch, just kidding, why are you so serious, uncle!"

Before he finished speaking, he couldn't help but get a blow on the head first, and the punch was so fast that it didn't even flash the eagle arrow.

However, Mori did not respond to his complaints, instead staring straight in the direction of the eagle's flashlight.

"Sure enough, the power outage was man-made. ”

With that, Maori couldn't help but step forward and pull the electric switch.

Suddenly, with the sound of "dripping" machine operation, the whole ship was bright again.

On top of the switch, a rope was tied, a toolbox was hung, and a half-burned candle was in the middle.

"A simple timer device...... Takagiya turned off the light on his watch, then walked over to the side of the candle and roughly estimated its width, "The device must have been set up in advance, and it burned for about twenty minutes at this burning rate." ”

"Twenty minutes, it should be when everyone just found Mr. Long Nan's body. Maori touched his chin and recalled, then frowned, "At that time, everyone was acting on their own, and anyone could make such a mechanism." ”

"So, we need to investigate further to see if there are any traces...... Huh?"

Just as Eagle Ya took out the handkerchief and was about to take off the items to check, he suddenly found that a lot of scraps had suddenly fallen from the spread out handkerchief, so he couldn't help but squat down and pick up those things with the handkerchief again.

"Huh? This is ...... Could it be, bread crumbs?" looked at the tiny strips held in place by the blood, and it took Takaya a moment to make out what it was, and his face changed instantly.

Because, he had seen this kind of thing in another place, at another crime scene!

Eagle couldn't help but take out a small sealed bag from his arms. It was the crisper bag he had asked for from the kitchen of the restaurant, and it contained a sample of all the bread crumbs he had taken from his previous collection.

"Uncle, have you eaten bread today?"

After a little comparison, Takaya confirmed that the two were the same thing, and couldn't help but quickly raise his head and ask Maori.

Because, after this handkerchief was cleaned before the eagle arrow, it was only used by Maori to wipe his hands!

"Clams, bread, so much to do, why do I have to eat bread?"

Hearing his words, Maori couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, revealing a hint of "you make a cane" expression.

"yes, then the source of this breadcrumb......" As if thinking of something, the eagle turned around and ran outside.

"Hey, little ghost, where are you going? Wait for me!"

==================================================================

"I'm sorry. ”

Conan stood in front of Ryuo's corpse and folded his hands towards him, then lifted the canvas that covered him.

He had some doubts about the death of Ryuo from the beginning, but because of Maori's presence at that time, he had no way to investigate properly, so he could only take advantage of the opportunity to run out now and investigate again.

In fact, from the moment his body was discovered, Conan felt very strange.

That's why did Long Nan die, and why did he die here?

Because, compared to the murder that seemed to be obviously prepared in advance, the death of Ryuo was much more casual.

The brutal fatal wounds and the corpse that was not deliberately hidden all showed that Ryuo's death was probably just an accident and was not in the prisoner's original plan. Otherwise, the scene would not be so rough.

So, why did he die?

The most reasonable guess is to be silenced.

He must have found some information that was very unfavorable to the prisoner, or he saw the moment of the crime directly, so he would be killed.

With this in mind, Conan investigates the crime scene while simulating and reconstructing the crime process in his mind.

There were two wounds on the head, one on the back of the head and one on the front, and the front one caused the skull to collapse, which appeared to be fatal.

With the establishment of evidence, Conan's mind couldn't help but recreate a picture in which the prisoner gave the dragon man who was about to escape from behind, knocked him to the ground, and then struck a fatal blow in the front.

So, was the "T" left on the scene during the first hit?

No, it's unreasonable to think about it. Because the murderer was facing the deceased head-on at the time, it is unlikely that he did not see the marks left by the deceased on the ground. Even if the deceased really wrote something, the murderer would definitely wipe it off immediately in order not to expose himself.

However, the T-word was clearly left on the scene...... So, was this T deliberately left by the murderer?

However, it is also reluctant to think like this, after all, for unexpected cases, there should not be so much time for the prisoner to consider, so he should leave as few traces as possible. After all, if you do less and make fewer mistakes, and if you do more, there will be more flaws. Anyway, the "H" left by the previous collection has made everyone point their suspicions at Eagle Arrow and Xiao Wu, and there is no need to write a "T" for this extra move.

Unless...... Why should a prisoner do so!

Thinking so, Conan couldn't help but crouch down and carefully observe the T-sign that remained at the scene.

One horizontally from thick to thin, and one vertically from thin to thick, no matter how you look at it, it's a T-shape......

Hmmm? No! That's ...... Is this the message of the deceased really trying to convey?

At that moment, a flash of lightning flashed through Conan's mind, and many originally scattered things were connected in his mind.

He couldn't help but stand up and rewind step by step according to the crime scene in his mind, simulating the actions of the dead and the criminal, rewinding the scene back to the place where the deceased had begun to flee in the first place, where he should be able to see the scene that the deceased had witnessed.

"Huh?" Conan stood where the footprints had initially widened, looking around the deck.

Not far away, on the floor was a ball of rope, one end of which was wearing an iron rod that looked like a long bolt for fastening.

Originally, there should have been an iron rod at each end of such a section of rope, but now there is only one, and the other one is missing! Conan couldn't help but boldly guess that the disappeared iron rod was probably sunk to the bottom of the sea, and it was the murder weapon that killed the dragon man!

In other words, this is probably where the murderer was at that time, so he picked up the iron rod and used it as a murder weapon!

Conan couldn't help but walk to that position, the right side of the railing is the outside of the deck, directly below is a lifeboat tied to the position, and on the left side of the railing, there is a room that can be locked from the outside.

"It's ...... Treasury?"

Conan opened the door to the room with the elastic strap over the handle, and looked at the thick anti-collision sponge padded on the inside of the door, and couldn't help but say.

However, just as he was about to go in to find out, he suddenly met a pair of eyes in the dark.

At that moment, the hairs on his body couldn't help but stand up!

=======================================================================

"So...... Is that really the case?"

Zomoto Cruises. Inside a guest room.

Eagle Ya muttered as he squeezed the sticky white ball in his hand like plasticine.

"Now the motive and the evidence are ...... It's just that there are still some doubts that have not been solved......"

Saying this, Eagle Arrow couldn't help but flip through the paper in front of him one by one, and his expression became more and more solemn little by little.

"Hey, you kid, you've been talking about it since the beginning, what did you find? And what is it?"

Maori, who was on the side, seemed to feel very unhappy that he had been reduced to the role of a follower, and couldn't help but reach out and snatch the white ball from his hand.

"Wow! what is this, disgusting to the touch...... Give it back to you!"

But as soon as the thing was in his hands, the slippery and sticky touch made Maori disgusted for a while, and quickly threw the white ball back to Eagle Arrow, and then rubbed his right hand on the table next to him a few times, and closed his five fingers, as if trying to get rid of all the things that stuck to his fingers.

"Ahh

Maori's unintentional actions passed through Hawkya's mind like a bolt of lightning, and the last doubt was finally shattered.

"I see, now, everything is clear!"

On the other side, at the same time, the little detective couldn't help but sigh with such emotion.

When he raised his head again, the fog in his eyes had dissipated, and the two pairs of blue eyes shone with sharp edges.

They couldn't help but turn around at the same time, smiling a little wise and confident at the person behind them.

"See, the end of logic!"

(There is always only one truth!)
