Chapter 67: The Grievance of Twenty Years Ago 6
Inside the cruise ship restaurant. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoTeam leader Ishizaki is interrogating Mr. Whalei with some questions.
"What! You say you don't remember? When you were on deck, it was you who said it: I knew he was still alive, these words! Team Leader Sharkaki yelled angrily at Whale Well.
"I don't remember...... Did I really say that! Mr. Whale Well quibbled.
"Fill me with less garlic!" Team leader Sharkaki lined up on the table with one palm, and the ashtrays on the dining table jumped up. Then he leaned his upper body in front of Mr. Whale Well, revealing a hideous expression.
"Quick! Say it and you'll have a lot easier on it! ā
"What you said before is that Dacai San, right!"
"I don't know...... I really don't know anything...... Don't ask me......" Mr. Whalei looked at the hideous expression of Team Leader Sharkizaki with a frightened and confused expression. The whole person was about to cry.
Heiji looked at the conversation between Team Leader Sharkizaki and Mr. Whalei, and sighed helplessly.
Yi Bin, who was sitting with Xiao Ai and Qiong, calmly looked at the two people arguing with each other.
Then. Kogoro Mori walked in from outside the restaurant.
"Team leader, I've just asked all the crew on board. Every crew member has an alibi. At the time of the explosion just now, all the crew members, except the passengers, acted in two or more ways. ā
"And that explosion happened after we heard gunshots and ran to the deck. Therefore, the identity of the charred corpse should be that of a passenger who was not on the deck or in the restaurant at the time. Mori Kogoro said, looking at the notepad in his hand.
"Looking for you to say that, the deceased is the one who hasn't shown up yet?" Team leader Sharkaki asked.
"I said, didn't you even find out? Mr. Kameda, who returned to his room to rest during dinner, and Mr. Kane, who left the lounge around 12 o'clock, have not been seen since the explosion. ā
"Are they really resting in the room? You know, the explosion was heard by the entire cruise ship. But the two of them still didn't show up. Hehe. Don't you think it's suspicious? Yibin shook his head when he heard Team Leader Sharksaki's words, and then spoke.
"That's right!" Mori Kogoro looked around, and after the explosion, he really didn't see Mr. Kameda or Mr. Kanie.
"In that case, let's get to their room and bring them here." Team leader Ishizaki yelled at Kogoro Mori.
"Uh. Be! Kogoro, who was reprimanded by Izaki, immediately ran out.
"I'll accompany my uncle too." Heiji said and ran out with Kogoro as well.
"I'm going too." Conan followed.
"Alas. Wait a minute. Lan also got up from her chair and wanted to follow them.
"I said Xiaolan, just let those men do such a dangerous thing as investigating the murderer, just stay here and rest, if you feel bored, come and chat together." When Xiaolan was about to run out with her, Yibin left her behind.
"Huh? Oh. Xiaolan looked back and forth between the exit of the restaurant and Yi Bin, and finally chose to stay.
In the cabin. Kogoro and the others have already arrived at Mr. Kameda's door.
Knock knock~~
"Mr. Kameda? Open the door, Mr. Kameda. Kogoro knocked on the door, but no one inside answered.
Then Kogoro casually pressed the doorknob of Mr. Kameda's room, but he didn't expect the door to be opened directly by him.
"Huh? The door is unlocked? ā
The three of them walked straight in. However, there was no figure of Mr. Kameda in the room.
The three who couldn't find Mr. Kameda went to Mr. Kanie's room again.
Sure enough, Mr. Samezaki's door was not locked. And there is also no figure of Mr. Xie in it.
Conan and Heiji glanced at each other. Then the two split up on the cruise ship and began to search.
Some time later, Conan and Heiji met again at the stern of the ship where the explosion occurred.
"How? What did you find? Heiji asked this Conan.
"Hmm. In the machine room below, I found a little blood stained on the floor, as well as empty cartridge casings from the pistol. Plus, there's this letter. Conan wrapped a bullet casing and a white piece of paper in a handkerchief.
"I also found this unusual piece of paper. Although it has been crumpled up and thrown away as garbage. Heiji also took out a crumpled piece of paper wrapped in a handkerchief.
"Where did you find that?"
"Isn't there a restroom at the entrance of the restaurant, I found it in the trash can there."
"By the way, what exactly is written on that letter of yours?" Heiji asked, looking at the piece of paper in Conan's hand.
"It reads: Go to the computer room and wait for me. Furukawa Ogami. ā
"Why is it Furukawa again?" Pingji complained speechlessly.
"Bloodstains, and empty shells." Heiji walked up to the charred corpse covered with a sheet, lifted the sheet, and checked the corpse again.
"There are no bullet holes on this corpse!" Pingji, who checked the charred corpse again, said suspiciously.
"And what is written on that piece of paper you found?" Conan asked Heiji.
"Let's meet at the stern. Furukawa Daikami! Heiji took out the piece of paper in his pocket and read it.
"That means someone can lure Mr. Whalei to the deck."
"Huh? How do you know it's addressed to Mr. Whalei? Conan asked curiously.
"Because I'm in the hall. Two crew members once saw with their own eyes that after 12 o'clock, Whale Well walked to the stern with a blue face and shouted loudly: Hey, I'm coming. Later, when the crew member opened his mouth to talk to him, he was shocked. Heiji glanced at Conan, and then continued.
"Later, he went back to the break room to join us in the game. Then, not long after he returned to the lounge, a gunshot was heard above the upper deck. As soon as we all reached the upper deck, there was an explosion on the aft deck. ā
"We didn't find any timed detonation devices afterwards. Other words. The killer first created the sound of gunfire on the upper deck. Then the flag was lit. Taking advantage of the gap on the upper deck, everyone walked down here and set fire to this first aid kit. In this way, it is no wonder that Mr. Whalei is so frightened that his soul is gone. Conan speculated.
"yes. If it's not good, Mr. Whale Well might be burned to the ground here. Heiji nodded.
"The question now is, is it possible for the murderer to come to the lower deck without touching anyone after firing his gun on the upper deck?" Conan frowned deeply.
"Alright. Now that there is a clue to the murderer, it is only a matter of time before you know this detail. Heiji leaned against the railing and said lightly.
"Huh? Do you know what happened? Conan asked in surprise.
"How. You got it! Heiji looked at Conan and raised an eyebrow.
"In that case, let's compare our answers."
