Chapter 66: The Grievance of Twenty Years Ago 5
Boom~
Just when Kogoro and Team Leader Sharkaki were drinking wine and chatting about life. www.biquge.info A sound similar to the sound of a gunfire resounded throughout the ship.
A sound is heard. Kogoro, Samezaki and the others all ran towards the upper deck where the sound came from.
Kogoro, Samezaki and the others came to the upper deck and saw a flagpole burning in the wind. And underneath the flag. A 10,000-dollar bill was stuck in the back of a bench with a dagger.
And there seemed to be something written on the bill.
Team leader Misaki took out a pair of white gloves from his coat pocket and put them on his hands. Then he pulled out the dagger stuck in the back of the chair with great force. The banknote with the words written on it was also held in the hand of Team Leader Sharki.
"Team Leader Samezaki, what's written on it?" Kogoro stooped over and stood behind Captain Ishizaki, trying to see the contents of the banknote.
"Poseidon, the god of the sea, gave me another life. My shadow will be resurrected again. Team leader Ishizaki read out the contents of the banknote word by word.
As soon as Team Leader Sharkaki said the contents of the banknote, Mr. Whalei had a look of fear on his face.
"He's still alive......"
"I knew that...... He...... He ......"
"I knew that...... He must ...... Certain...... I'm still alive in this world. Mr. Whalei retreated to the edge of the deck step by step, and said to everyone in fear.
Boom~~
As soon as Whale Well's words were finished, a violent explosion broke out behind him.
"What's going on!"
The crowd hurried to the edge of the upper deck to check on the explosion. I saw a raging fire burning in a corner of the lower deck.
Jingle bell~~~
With the sound of explosions. The cruise ship's sirens also sounded.
At this time, Xiaolan, Yibin and others also ran out of the lounge.
"What's going on, Dad?" Xiaolan saw Kogoro running over and hurriedly asked.
"There was an explosion in the stern! We're going to check on the situation now. Kogoro hurried over.
But when the crowd came to the lower deck at the stern. The box where the life jackets were placed was found to be on fire.
At this time, the other crew members ran over with fire extinguishers, and hurriedly took fire extinguishers and aimed them at the fire source to start extinguishing the fire.
By this time the cruise ship had sailed to the depths of the sea. If this fire spreads, then unpredictable accidents will happen to everyone.
As time passed, the air was filled not only with a scorching heatwave, but also with the smell of burnt barbecue. This made everyone realize the complexity of things.
After more than ten minutes of hard work. The fire was finally extinguished.
Sure enough, in the darkness of the wreckage, a charred corpse was found.
"Damn! Completely charred. There is no way to determine the correct time of death and the identity of this corpse. Sharkaki touched the almost charred corpse with gloves on, and then frowned.
"Yes, maybe the corpse in front of me is the one who was from the boat, it's not impossible." Kogoro guessed as he looked at the charred corpse.
"Nope. It is not possible to make a conclusion until it is ascertained in detail. Team leader Ishizaki denied Kogoro's speculation.
"I'm wondering, could that person be Mr. Kane? Look at the gold watch he has in his hand. I remember when I asked him the time today, he was wearing the gold watch. Ebina stood up and pointed to the burnt gold watch on the wrist of the charred corpse.
"When you say so, it seems that it is." Kogoro looked at the charred corpse and recalled.
"Huh. But it's funny. Isobe sneered as he looked at the charred corpse.
"Huh? What's so funny? Kogoro turned his head and looked disapprenantly at Miss Isobei, who was disrespectful to the corpse.
"Look at his posture. He bent his arms and upper body as if to show off his golden watch to us. Miss Isobe sarcastically said.
"It's called thermal stiffness." Hiraji, who had already examined the body and was now leaning against the railing, explained.
"When a corpse is exposed to fire, the skeletal muscles will coagulate and contract under the action of heat. The muscles of the hands and feet are much stronger when they are bent than the muscles that are extended. Therefore, the joints will be bent. What is presented is what a boxer-like fighter looks like now. ”
"That is, the hands, the corpses that have been burned by the fire, will naturally appear like this." Heiji looked at Isobei on the side and explained all the principles of this phenomenon in one breath.
"Hattori, look at the face of this corpse. There's something strange. Conan crouched down next to the charred corpse and pointed to the part of the charred corpse's nose.
"The face of a charred corpse?" Heiji also squatted down next to the scorched corpse.
"This is? This looks like silicone resin! Heiji put on his gloves and touched the nose of the corpse.
"Yes. Although it is now deformed by heat, it is indeed a silicone resin. Rhinoplasty in cosmetic surgery often uses silicone resin. ”
"In that case, Mr. Xiejiang used to have plastic surgery?" Heiji said with some surprise.
"yes, I think so." Conan confirmed.
"If this guy has ever had plastic surgery......"
"Yes, it is very likely that he is one of the four gangsters who robbed the bank of 400 million yuan. Then it's very likely to be like what the guy said about the wave. The gang of robbers had all boarded the ship. ”
"And it's likely that his accomplices have all gone to plastic surgery."
"And if that charred corpse is really Mr. Crab River. Then Mr. Kameda, who has been talking to him since he got on the ship, is likely to be his accomplice. Both of them went to plastic surgery for old friends, and they haven't seen each other for so many years. Naturally, there is a lot to say. Conan analyzed it seriously.
"The other one is that the one who has been sweating hard behind our group of people since just now, that obsessive Uncle Whale Well." Heiji speculated.
"Hmm. That's right. In the restaurant, when he borrowed matches from Mr. Xiejiang, his attitude was very unnatural. It should be that they agreed in the past that they would use a code to distinguish their identities in the future. ”
"There are still many doubts. Who is the true identity of the mysterious old man who disappeared from the ship. And why did he arrange for the three of them to meet on the boat when the legal prosecution period was over. ”
Also, who is Daishi Furukawa who published the news in the newspaper. Is Dacai San dead, and has he been mixed up with this ship......"
"All in all, the clues now are all on that uncle. With his kind of virtue, as long as he asks casually, I'm afraid he will recruit them all at once. Hattori said with a smile.
Inside the cab of a cruise ship.
"Yes. I know. So, let's talk about it when we get there. Well, okay. The captain hung up the satellite phone.
"We're going straight to Ogasawara now."
"Captain, aren't you going to sail back when something so big happens?" A crew member asked.
"Well, they'll send a helicopter early tomorrow morning. Our ship is now carrying supplies that must be sent to the island. When everything is ready, the Security Agency will also send a boat over. Until then, we'll have to leave the case to the detective. "The captain put a navy cap on his head.
"The engine starts, and the speed rises to 20 knots!"
