At seven o'clock in the evening, most people rest in their respective rooms. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

And above the empty guest room corridor, a person stood outside the door of Hanchuan Ryu and knocked on his door.

Hearing the knock on the door, Ryu Hankawa opened the door and smiled and let the man in.

After entering Hanchuan Ryu's room and locking the door, the man suddenly took out a pistol equipped with a silencer and aimed it at Hanchuan Ryu's right eye and pulled the trigger.

The man destroyed all the tape recorder's magnets and the film in the room, and then everything else in the room. In the end, he quietly left Hanchuan Dragon's room.

The man stealthily went to the deck, lowered one of the lifeboats on the cruise ship to the surface, and cut the rope attached to it. After that, he quietly returned to his room.

At half past seven in the evening, there was a knock on Kogoro's door from outside.

Bang bang bang!

"Mr. Maori! Mr. Maori! Secretary Nishino anxiously and vigorously knocked on the door of Kogoro Maori.

"Oh? Finally ready to eat? Kogoro excitedly opened the door and walked out.

"It's amazing! Mr. Hankawa him. He died in his room! Secretary Nishino said in a panic.

Conan, Xiaolan, Heiji, and Ye, who lived next door to Kogoro, all heard the voice and walked out.

"What?" Kogoro hurriedly ran towards Mr. Nishino's room.

The other four followed.

And when everyone came to Hanchuan Dragon's room, they saw Hanchuan Dragon lying in the messy room, and a pool of scarlet blood flowed from his head.

Kogoro, Conan, and Heiji all walked in.

Pingji squatted down to inspect the condition of the corpse.

"Kudo, Ryu Kankawa was shot in the right eye, and the situation with Kidd yesterday is the same." Heiji whispered to Conan.

"In addition, my cheeks are just beginning to stiffen, and it will be about thirty minutes after death." Heiji also examined the deceased's muscles and the condition of the pupil of his left eye.

Mori Kogoro followed suit and examined the body.

"It's very obvious that it's a homicide."

"Chairman Suzuki, this is a murder, please contact the police immediately!" Kogoro stood up and said to Shiro Suzuki outside the door.

"Okay."

Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. Officer Twilight, who received the report, was preparing to go to Suzuki's cruise ship with Takagi and the forensic staff.

When I stepped out of the elevator, I happened to meet Officer Shiratori, who was carrying a backpack.

"White Bird? Didn't you go on vacation to Karuizawa? Twilight asked in surprise at Officer Shiratori.

"It was so boring to stay in the villa. So it's back. Are there any cases going on? Officer Shiratori scratched his cheek with his fingers.

"It's good you're here. Let's go together! ”

On the tarmac of the Suzuki family cruise ship, Officer Twilight stepped out of the helicopter with a group of policemen.

Inside the room of the cold river dragon. Police forensic officers are in the room collecting relevant evidence.

But there is no clue to be found other than the mess of the destroyed room.

Inside the cruise ship's restaurant. Everyone is summoned to the cafeteria, and Officer Twilight is questioning everyone's testimonies.

"The victim was Mr. Ryu Kankawa, 32 years old. Freelance photographer. ”

"Who found the body?"

"Well, it's me who found the body!" Secretary Nishino stood up.

"How did you find Mr. Kankawa's body?" Kogoro asked.

"Because it's time to eat, I'm going to call him."

"And where are you around half-past seven?" Officer Twilight asked.

"Because I have hemp in my body. medicine, so I was resting in my room until around seven o'clock in the evening. I got up and took a shower, and then I went to the deck to breathe. Secretary Nishino explained.

"He can't be a murderer!" Heiji stood up and said.

Everyone else looked at Heiji Hattori.

"Last night, when Conan and I were chasing Kidd, someone smashed the monocle in Kidd's right eye with a gun, and I think that was the same person who killed the cold river dragon. Because the cold river dragon was also killed by a bullet in the right eye. ”

"But yesterday Mr. Nishino was fascinated. Dizzy all day. To this day, there is still hemp in the body. Residues of medicines. So he can't be a murderer. ”

"In that case, who is the murderer?" Officer Twilight wondered.

β€œScorpion!” The cadre who was sitting alone on the sofa suddenly spoke.

Officer Twilight and the others all looked at Qianjiangyi.

"Scorpion, the killer codenamed Scorpion!"

"Scorpions? I don't think I've heard this name before. Officer Twilight pinched his right hand and thought about it seriously.

"Scorpion, the killer, is a killer who specializes in stealing the treasures of the Romanov dynasty in various countries, and specializes in shooting opponents in the right eye." The general smiled mysteriously.

"After you say this, there is indeed such a globally wanted criminal!" Officer Twilight finally remembers the figure.

"I think Mr. Kankawa was killed by that Scorpion. Moreover, the Kidd you just talked about should have been sniped by Scorpion. He must have wanted to get the egg of memories in Kidd's hands. After all, it was also a treasure of the Romanov dynasty. ”

"Hehe~~ So to speak. Luckily, I didn't get my hands on the Memory Egg. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'm the one who died now. I don't know if the thief is dead or alive now, but if he does, I really have to burn a stick of incense for him to thank him. The cadre laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Damn!" Conan frowned and looked at Qianjiangyi.

"So, is Scorpion still hiding in some corner of this ship!" Officer Twilight was worried.

"I found a lifeboat missing on deck." Officer Shiratori spoke.

"What! Did Scorpion escape in a lifeboat? Kogoro asked in surprise.

"An urgent search has been launched. But I'm afraid it's hard to find. Officer Shiratori said unhurriedly.

"Damn. Did he run away! Officer Twilight muttered with a frown.

"Huh. . . Anyway, we were at least relieved to know that the murderer was no longer on board. The cadre said lightly.

"That's right." Butler Sawabe and Mr. Xiru on the side also nodded.

"But Scorpion still covets another egg, and he may well be in the castle of the Kasaka family. No. He should have gone. Officer Twilight, when I arrive in Tokyo tomorrow, I want to go to the castle with Miss Natsumi and the others. Officer Shiratori asked Officer Twilight.

"Okay, let's do it." Officer Twilight readily agrees to Officer Shiratori's request.

"In that case, I'll go back to my room and rest now. Anyway, it's still a few hours before we get to Tokyo Bay. Don't bother me during this time! Haha~~" The general got up from the sofa of the booth and left the cruise ship's restaurant.

At 8 a.m. the next day, the cruise ship arrived at Tokyo Bay without incident.
