【Chapter 154】Approaching the Truth

"Are you alright?" Eguchi Kirin happened to meet Hoshino Uesugi who was alone by the railing of the boat looking out at the sea, and he stood there and thought about it for a while, but decided to chat with her.

Although Uesugi Hoshino was so sad that she couldn't even shed tears, she was still a little surprised, because Eguchi Kirin was a well-known bachelor in the outside world, and he rarely greeted unfamiliar girls unless it was a need for work.

"This kind of thing ......" Eguchi Kirin suddenly found that he didn't know what to say to be comforting, and he regretted it a little, although he was naturally warm-hearted.

"This kind of thing...... I don't know what to say, but Uncle Uesugi must be very reluctant to let you go, and he doesn't want you to be so sad...... Well, that's it. ”

Uesugi Hoshino lowered his head: "Thank you, Mr. Eguchi. ”

"This kind of title is still reserved for the old immortal," Eguchi Kirin didn't care what others thought of his tone, "If you don't dislike it, you can call me Eguchi-kun, or Feilin-kun." ”

Yuan Zi cautiously shouted: "Xiaolan, look at you, that guy, isn't it suspicious!" ”

"Where is the suspicious garden? Are they just talking? Xiaolan didn't understand the meaning of the garden.

Xiaolan and Sonoko hid behind a table and observed what was happening there, the reason they were here was because Sonoko said that they wanted to give Uesugi Hoshino some space for themselves, so they "let Uesugi Hoshino move freely", but secretly followed her to protect her. And the reasoning queen Yuanzi just thought of a strange but reasonable thing, and that is......

"If the prisoner kills Mr. Uesugi Mori out of hatred, then Uesugi Hoshino is likely to be killed as well, so if a suspicious character appears, you can use karate to subdue the gangster!" The garden cheered Xiaolan on.

"But it's better to tell Dad about this kind of thing." Xiaolan, a good girl, took out her mobile phone and sent a text message to Uncle Maori.

Eguchi said: "I used to be taken care of by my uncle, so now I have such an achievement, my uncle is gone, I am also very sad, but I hope you can come out of the shadow in your heart, after all, many things left by your uncle still have to be taken care of by you, by the way, do you have no other relatives in your family?" ”

"No, just me and my dad live." Uesugi Hoshino's voice was soft and light, where was the excitement and joy of greeting the garden at the beginning? Sudden bad news, a life that changed in a day, there is no dawn, there is no hope, and the world of Uesugi Hoshino collapses like that.

"If you have any difficulties, you can come to me, besides, I see that there are two people over there who are very suspicious, you should be careful." Eguchi Feilin spoke quickly, and after finishing speaking, he left the place quickly, as if he was afraid of being seen by others.

"What do you say! That guy dared to say we were suspicious characters! Sonoko listened to Uesugi Hoshino's words and flipped the table in front of him on the spot - fortunately, Xiaolan stopped it in time and did not cause further damage.

……

Conan and Ji Haihong came to Uesugi Mori's room again, and he somewhat understood what the criminal's killing methods were, and he also knew how to make an alibi. But the details and motives are unknown to him, so he must come here to look for clues.

"Do you think that the prisoner killed the victim with a trap? No, there's nothing in this room that looks like a trap. Ji Haihong disagreed.

"Why not? Think about the trap we encountered, if Uesugi Mori had come up and picked up that backpack, I don't think he would have been so lucky, you say? Conan was lying on his stomach at the wool stall looking for something.

Ji Haihong lowered his head and thought for a while: "It seems that the prisoner is also a cautious master, is he actually in the mood to set up two traps, if one trap cannot be used for various reasons, then trick him into another trap?" ”

"There is a possibility, but we can now narrow down the scope of investigation, at least one of the people who can enter this room must be a prisoner, I have asked Officer Takagi to investigate, and the results should come out soon."

……

"What? Brother Maori, do you already know who the prisoner is? "All the people in the room who heard the news were surprised.

"Yes, I already have a rough idea of what he's up to, Officer Twilight, please gather all the guests on deck, I have something to say to them." Uncle Maori pretended to tidy up his clothes.

Officer Twilight immediately announced all the passengers to go to the deck through the radio, and Conan and Ji Haihong, who were about to go to the other guests' rooms to investigate, were stunned.

"Conan, what's going on?"

"Alas......" Conan looked like he hated iron and steel, "I guess the uncle has some strange ideas, forget it, we have to investigate this matter quickly, otherwise it will be really bad." ”

"Actually, Uncle Maori also did a good thing, that is, everyone went to the deck, and we could do whatever we wanted." Ji Haihong's eyes lit up, and he was ready to do a big job.

Although Conan knew that what Ji Haihong said was very reasonable, why did it always feel weird.

On the deck, more than 100 passengers gathered here, the atmosphere was chaotic, and many people were speculating about what the police were trying to do. Officer Twilight and other police officers are on standby in case something unexpected happens.

"Ahem, everyone! Everybody! Mori Kogoro walked up to the podium with a loudspeaker, "Today, Mr. Uesugi Mori was unfortunately killed, but I, Detective Mori Kogoro, will definitely seek justice for Mr. Uesugi and his daughter!" ”

……

Now everyone in the guest room is out, even Miss Uesugi Hoshino is on the deck accompanied by Sonoko and Ran. Ji Haihong has been picking locks professionally for a hundred years, and many door locks that look sturdy have been picked open by him.

"I always feel like we're committing a crime," Ji Haihong pried open Jock Williams' door, "and do you really think this foreigner did it?" ”

"Of course not, I'm just trying to find that key thing, physical evidence that can give the prisoner a fatal blow!" Conan is righteous.

"So it's still a crime, just pick someone's room lock or something......"

After their examination, no valuable physical evidence was found here. The foreigner only brought a computer bag aboard, which contained nothing but identification and some cooperation agreements.

Next is Kazuo Eguchi's room. The suspicion of the Suzuki family is very small and almost negligible, so Conan decides to put the Suzuki family's guest room for the last inspection.

There is nothing unusual here, ordinary leather bags and documents, and there is a smell of feminine perfume on them, which should be the legendary Xianghao.

Tomieda's room is different from the others, after all, it is inhabited by women, and Uesugi Mori is still very thoughtful.

Despite this, Conan did not find any valuable information.

I always feel ...... What they overlooked.

"Uesugi Hoshino and Uesugi Mori's secretary room have also been checked, and the reporter's room, although I don't know what you're paying attention to, ah, I'm so tired~" Ji Haihong lay on the ** in the guest room, yawning listlessly.

"I just feel like I'm missing something." Conan's brow furrowed, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound.

"Maybe we should start with the itinerary after Uesugi Mori boarded the ship, maybe there will be some results in this way, oh meow......" Ji Haihong buried his head in the quilt and made a suggestion that even he was satisfied with.

Conan slammed his pillow on Ji Haihong's buttocks: "That makes sense, we have to go back to Mr. Uesugi's secretary's room, there should be an itinerary there." ”

The two quickly found the itinerary, but found that the itinerary was too little to serve as a reference at all.

The morning itinerary is to board the ship and negotiate with some partners, there is no itinerary at noon, and the evening itinerary is an event such as a fireworks party.

"Oops," Conan frustrated, "there's so much time left for Uesugi Mori to roam freely, and we don't know who he wants to visit, and even if he does, it's not necessarily true." ”

"What then? And that's how the investigation came to square one? Didn't you say that you also understood what the criminal's modus operandi was? ”

"But I don't know who the murderer is yet, what the motive is, almost all of the main guests this time have alibis, and ......" Conan suddenly snorted, "I'm looking for a new direction!" ”

Is this what you call a new direction? Ji Haihong watched speechlessly as Conan sold cuteness to Uesugi Mori's secretary, asked questions, stalked, and came back satisfied.

"Say, I asked what happened, and I was so happy." Ji Haihong waved his hand and took Conan in his arms (something was wrong).

"I've already got Uesugi Mori's living habits and itinerary, and now, I just need to investigate according to these clues, and let's go back to Mr. Uesugi's room and have a look."

Ji Haihong was really confused this time, he always felt that there were too few clues, and there were too many things missing. But why is Conan so confident?

The two returned to Mr. Uesugi's room, and Conan sat in his office chair, looking up. The soft light illuminates the room where an unfortunate incident has occurred, and the unclosed portholes pour into the icy sea breeze and let out an eerie murmur......

"How dare you sit there?" Ji Haihong frowned, this made him very uncomfortable, and he actually had a feeling of being in that village.

"I think I already know the murderer's method of murder, and my alibi proved that it was true, and it was also true that I killed Mr. Uesugi Mori with my own hands, but I really don't know what his motives were." Conan had a bitter gourd face, a look of chagrin.

"I'm annoyed that you're big, I suddenly found that my IQ has dropped a lot recently! Asking for spoilers wow! Ji Haihong has no regard for his image, and his curiosity has been completely hooked by Conan.
