Saturday, June 29th, evening, on a cruise ship at the Tunamoto family.

At about seven twenty, the last person, Mr. Xiao Wu, came to the restaurant, and the dinner began.

At about eight o'clock, Suzuki butler came to the door of Mr. Haozai's room with noodles. He knocked on the door, shouted a few times, and when there was no response, he put the tray on the floor, and picked up a shining thing, a pearl, on the dirty carpet. Then he took out the key and opened the door, and then, and then he screamed.

Everyone in the restaurant faintly heard the screams, and Conan immediately put down his knife and fork and ran towards the place where the screams sounded.

Yamazaki wiped his mouth, and then wiped her mouth for Midaiko, who was going to stay here to eat, and pulled her up to follow the people of the Akimoto family.

In the room, Mr. Hao Zang was lying on the ground, holding the carpet with one hand and his back with the other, and the blood was already staining his body. From the door to the place where he fell, there were also some drops of blood on the ground.

Stopping the others outside, Mori went in alone to check on him, and said, "It's okay, Mr. Haozai is still alive." Is there a doctor on this ship, call immediately. Let the ship turn around immediately, and by the way, there is a helicopter, and send him to Tokyo immediately. ”

"But, but," said the Suzuki butler, embarrassed, "the master has instructed that no matter what happens, you are not allowed to turn around, and you are not allowed to open the door to go down until you go to the island." ”

"What?" everyone was taken aback.

Maori shouted, "You see, he's going to die." ”

The Suzuki butler said, "The old man has told him that even if he dies, he will ......."

"Let Midaiko come," Yamazaki said, "let her send Mr. Haozai there." ”

"I'm here to accompany my father. Mariko said immediately.

"No," Maori said, "I only know at the moment, Lan and Yuanzi, and Mei Daizi and Miss Xia Jiang, the four of them have alibi, and the others ......"

"What did you say?" exclaimed Lady Mariko.

"yes, what do you mean?" called Miss Akie.

"Let's go with Ran, Sonoko, and Miss Natsue," said Yamazaki, "just enough to hold Mr. Hirozo firmly." ”

"Hey, helicopter ride again?" called the garden.

"Don't worry," Midaiko smiled, "I won't fly upside down this time." ”

"Please, Miss Midaiko. Miss Xia Jiang bowed and said.

After sending Midaiko away, Maori launched an investigation, first of all, the lock, Suzuki's butler confirmed that the door was locked, and he couldn't enter without the key on his body, and there was no other entrance to this room, and now the windows were closed, so it was a completely closed secret room.

"Secret, secret room, is grandpa going to commit suicide?" Qiu Jiang said.

"No," said Maori, "the wound should not be in the back if you commit suicide, and there is no murder weapon left in the room." ”

"Maybe it's sharp ice or something, but after a while the ice melts, and because I can't do it myself, I put it behind my invisible back and then pours it up," Mr. Ryuro laughed, "Isn't it a common plot in mystery novels?"

Maori touched his chin and said, "In this case, there is indeed a possibility that he will commit suicide." ”

"No, someone else did it. "The reason for this is obvious. ”

"You!" cried Maori, "you boy again." ”

"Uncle Maori, look at this lock, as long as you close the door hard, it will lock automatically," Yamazaki laughed, "and the door frame here, there are some blood stains on it, and there are also traces of wiping on the carpet outside the door." ”

Pressing the door lock, Maori said: "In that case, this room is not a secret room, and the place of the murder is outside the door, and the murderer attacked Mr. Haozai from behind when he turned back to the room, and then pushed him into the room, and then closed the door and wiped the blood in front of the door." ”

"Uncle is awesome, what a detective. Conan shouted.

"Hah......" Maori laughed.

Then Mori began to investigate the alibi of the people, and before half past six, Mr. Hao appeared in front of everyone, and then returned to the room with Mr. Xiao Wu. Mr. Xiao Wu said that he went back to his room early in the morning, but no one could prove it.

Mr. Kitaro arrived at the restaurant at 6:40 after returning to the room, Mr. Ryuro was less than 6:50, and Ms. Akie was at 6:50. In the middle of the meal, the three of them went to the bathroom once, and it was okay to go out of the bathroom, if it was not to go to the bathroom, but to come to Mr. Haozang's room, there was no problem in terms of time. In this way, whether before coming to the restaurant or in the middle of the meal, all in all, these three people are suspicious.

When Mr. Shoji and Suzuki's housekeeper were in the kitchen, they had a long time alone, and the two were suspicious.

Mr. Yamazaki, Ms. Mariko, Mr. Ichiro, and Mr. Kotake are also suspected.

The passage to the lower deck was closed from both sides, and was only opened when Mr. Kozari himself ordered it, or when the ship arrived on the island. That is, the murderer is among the nine suspects.

"By the way, Suzuki butler," Mori asked, "did you notice anything special when you entered the room?"

"Something special?" said the Suzuki butler, "Oh, by the way, I remembered, I picked up this pearl at the door." So saying, he took out the pearl.

"Ahh

Miss Akie said, "I see, no wonder you come to the restaurant so late. ”

"No, sister, you misunderstood," Mr. Xiao Wu hurriedly said, "I was thinking about something in the room at that time, so I ......"

"Haven't you given up, Xiao Wu, I overheard it outside the door just now, I'm sure you must have been frightened at the time," said Lady Mariko, "Actually, you're the son of Yuo Caicheng, I'm not wrong." ”

"Who was Yuo Aki she was talking about?" asked Mr. Mori to Kitaro.

"The chairman of Caicheng Industries, who was forced to go bankrupt by his father more than ten years ago and committed suicide, heard that his wife also died of illness a year later, and his only son was sent to a welfare home," said Mr. Beilang, "and later ......

"That kid was Xiao Wu later?" Mr. Shoji asked, "Is this true, Xiao Wu?"

"That's right, I'm the son of Yuo Caicheng, Takehiko Caicheng. Mr. Xiao Wu said, "But, but, I, I ......."

"You are here to avenge your father, that's why you approached Xia Jiang

Infiltrated into the Hiromoto family," Mori said, "because Mr. Kozai had exposed him, so he decided to kill him." ”

"No, it's not like that," shouted Mr. Xiao Wu, "I don't. ”

"Xiao Wu, I originally thought that you were a man who could take care of Xia Jiang," Mr. Shoji said, "I misjudged you. ”

"Uncle Shoji. Mr. Xiao Wu shouted.

"Well, the warehouse is empty," Mr. Ryuro laughed, "and I can let you stay another night." With that, he dragged Mr. Xiao Wu away, and everyone followed.

"Grandpa Suzuki, I want to ask," Pulling the corner of Suzuki's butler's coat, Conan asked, "Does Mr. Haozai eat bread?"

The Suzuki butler stopped and said, "Sir, he hates eating Western food the most, especially bread, and he said that he wants to vomit when he sees it." ”

Conan asked again, "Did Mr. Shoji use his own knives when he was in charge of the kitchen?"

"Of course, those are his treasures. Butler Suzuki replied, then touched Conan's head, and said, "Good, obedient, don't care so much about a child." ”

Conan whispered to Yamazaki beside him, "Did you find anything?"

"I'm a suspect. Yamazaki laughed.

"No kidding," Conan asked, "what are the results of your spying on them?"

Yamazaki asked, "Why do you ask?"

"Do you think I'm Uncle Maori?" Conan said, "Those words about property were overheard by Mr. Haozai to Miss Akie, and Mr. Haozai's letting Mr. Xiaowu go with him in front of everyone was to lead people to eavesdrop, doesn't this mean that the commission has already begun?"

"Did you hear that?" said Yamazaki, "Miss Akie had only spoken in the afternoon, and that matter was known only to the five people. Ms. Mariko left before Mr. Xiao Wu came out of the room, and she went back to the room later, and I saw her go out to the restaurant, so I entered the restaurant first. So I don't know what happened in Mr. Haozai's room during that time. ”

"What about Mr. Xiao Wu?" Conan asked again.

"Mr. Kozai said to be staring at the person who was eavesdropping outside, and I don't think it was Mr. Kotake," Yamazaki said, "and there are pearls on the wiped floor, so it's more likely to be blamed." Then he asked, "What are you asking about bread for?

Conan said, "Yes, very small. ”……

Putting Mr. Xiao Wu in the warehouse, listening to the sound of Mr. Xiao Wu knocking on the door and shouting inside, "I'm not a murderer, let me out", Mr. Ryuro smiled: "You murderer, let's experience the taste of the cell in advance." ”

Miss Akie asked, "The motive and evidence are already sufficient, isn't it?"

"The motive is clear, but if the evidence is ......," Maori said, "if you can find the murder weapon and compare his fingerprints, you can determine that he is the murderer." ”……

In the restaurant, Suzuki butler served drinks to everyone.

"Our luck is so good, aunt," Miss Qiu Jiang said with a smile, "thanks to Xiao Wu, even if Grandpa doesn't die, he must have been hospitalized for a long time." ”

"Yes, Xia Jiang's wedding can't be held, and the handover can't be announced," Ms. Mariko said with a smile, "In this way, the family will be my husband's for a long time, and maybe ......" and then smiled at Ichiro, "Ichiro can also develop well in painting, but, Ichiro, you better come, so that you can take over the family in the future." ”

"I, I don't want it, Mom, I don't want it. Mr. Ichiro said.

"Smack!" A slap on the table, Miss Akie asked angrily, "What do you mean by this, is it possible that you want to swallow it alone?"

"How so," said Lady Mariko, laughed, "don't worry, of course I won't forget to give you some benefits." ”

"Sister, it's not very good," said Mr. Xiang'er, "Dad hasn't ...... yet That's all you have to talk about here. ”

"You don't pretend to be there, I tell you, don't think I don't know," said Ms. Mariko, "you secretly went to borrow money from your father in order to open a store, but your father scolded you severely, I'm right." Then he smiled and said, "Don't you also need money, then be happy, I will support you." ”

"Well, I'm sorry, there's something I have to report, let you know, my lord, just in case, the matter of property has been made a will a long time ago," Suzuki's butler came out of the kitchen, bowed down and said, "And in the afternoon, the lord also instructed the people in the family that if there was any accident, his place would be taken by Miss Xia Jiang." ”

"What did you say?" asked Lady Mariko, surprised.

Miss Qiu Jiang asked, "Is it possible, the inheritance, the location, all of it is returned, Xia Jiang?"

Suzuki said, "Yes." ”

"W-How is this possible?" said Lady Mariko to herself.

"Damn," shouted Mr. Ryuro, slapping the table on the table, "What's the point of me marrying Akie if I don't get half a dime." ”

"You—what are you talking about," Miss Akie asked incredulously, "Is it because you married me for Grandpa's property?"

"That's right, otherwise, who would marry a shrew like you, I'm wrong," said Mr. Ryuro, "you good-for-nothing, just a lazy and lazy one." ”……

Everyone in the family parted unhappily and went back to their rooms. At Yamazaki's reminder, Mori also understood that the entrusted mission had begun. However, the two of them couldn't monitor the five places, and the lottery turned out to be Mariko and Mr. Shoji, and by the way, Conan was asked to keep an eye on Mr. Ichiro next to Mariko and his wife.

At about half past ten, the sound of a helicopter was heard, and everyone went out to greet them.

It was Mei Daizi, Yuanzi and Lan who came back, and Xia Jiang did not come back. While eating in the restaurant, the three of them told what they knew, and when they left, Mr. Haozai's condition had stabilized, but he had not woken up, and they didn't know much about the other situations.

Hearing the news, Akie and Mr. Ryuro left immediately, sat for a while, Mr. Ichiro left, and a few minutes later, Ms. Mariko and Mrs. Mariko also left.

Seeing that these people were leaving one after another, Mori and Yamazaki looked at each other, and then at Mr. Shoji, who didn't want to leave for the time being, and the two decided to follow and have a look. Yamazaki touched Conan and motioned for him to come out to help as well. ……
