Chapter 144: The World's No. 1 Monster Thief
"But what about the guy we were with before?"
After a pause, Qinghai Chuantang explained, "When I passed by before, I happened to see you together, so I didn't bother you. Is it your boyfriend? ”
Anxia smiled and said, "He was Nanahara who was a trainee chef on this ship half a year ago. We just made an appointment to meet here to talk about the future. ”
The girl's innocent face revealed a happy smile, and there was a unique shyness of a little girl in it.
"This is the last time I've been to sea, and I might be proposed."
Qinghai Chuantang joked with a smile.
"Nope."
On the surface, he answered like this, but in his heart, Anxia was also looking forward to it as Qinghai Chuantang said.
It is not easy to find someone who can be with you for a lifetime.
Qinghai Chuantang sincerely blessed her.
The next day, Anxia knocked on the door of Qinghai Chuantang in a panic and told her the news that Qiyuan Xu had always been.
According to a colleague in the back kitchen, when it was time to change shifts, the other party never appeared.
Since the morning, they have been searching separately, but they still haven't found anything.
"Has Mr. Nanahara behaved in any unusual ways lately?"
"If that's what you say"
Anxia seemed to recall something, "He was very concerned about the situation around him before, and he seemed to have something on his mind all along. ”
In the bar, Anxia insisted on standing on the stage, feeling that the singing voice had become much more desolate.
Hiroaki Kada stood in front of the bar, looking at her, with a worried look on his face.
He took a sip of the wine from the bar, then lowered his glass.
Suddenly, his expression changed dramatically.
After a few convulsions, he collapsed to the ground.
"Manager!"
"Daddy!"
The singing stopped abruptly, and An Xia hurriedly ran down from the stage.
Hiroaki Kada was immediately sent to the infirmary.
Fortunately, the rescue was timely and nothing serious, but I needed to rest more.
"Mr. Hongming, can you simply ask a few words?"
Led by Dr. Shini, Mori Kogoro and Yamamura Cao came to his room.
Lutian Hongming nodded, looked at An Xia on the side and said, "An Xia, you go back to work, it's fine." ”
After Anxia left, Kogoro Mori continued, "In the water that Mr. Hiroaki drinks, a cardiotonic is added. It is a dangerous medicine that may cause shock when consumed by healthy people. ”
Kada Hongming showed a slightly surprised look.
"Someone may have taken it from the medicine shelf, and one piece was missing. ”
"Do you have any clues?"
Kada didn't answer, just lowered his head.
Yokomatsu took a few steps forward and said, "Manager, let's speak up." ”
Kada Hongming was stunned for a moment and looked up at him "Captain"
In fact, Hiroaki Kada reported to Yokomatsu that he had seen a man with long hair and an iron bar.
It is the same as the fugitive seen near Yang's room.
"Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Faced with Maori Kogoro's questioning, Hiroaki Kada lowered his head and chose to remain silent.
Yokomatsu sighed, "Perhaps, it has something to do with Karthus." ”
"Kartha?"
Yamamura Cao and Maori Kogoro spoke in unison, looking at each other, no one had ever heard of this name.
"Actually, eighteen years ago, Karthas infiltrated the ship. Because there is nothing to lose, it is not made public, and only a small number of people know about it. ”
Karthhas is the number one monster thief in the world.
In recent years, in the collection of the Maoris Museum, he stole Vermeer's famous painting "Girl with a Pearl Earring"; Stole the Azeroth Diamond from Firath.
Recently, he was still in the Summoner's Canyon and successfully stole the Great Holy Grail.
Except for the crime notice, do not leave any evidence related to yourself. His name is known, but his appearance is unknown.
"Excuse me, why did he come eighteen years ago?"
"This"
After taking one look at the person on the bed, Yokomatsu said, "We don't know either." ”
Karthas was pursued by the security guards, was wounded, and disappeared into the sea.
"Actually, at that time, I saw him a little."
Everyone's eyes fell on Hiroaki Kata.
"At that time, he was also long-haired and holding an iron bar."
"Don't you say!" Shan Mura Cao suddenly realized, showing a shocked expression, "Is it Karthas who killed Yang Moumou?" ”
After eavesdropping on all this at the outer door, Conan quietly left and came to the deck to inform Qinghai Chuantang of the news.
Qinghai Chuantang was stunned at first, then startled, and then touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
Then, he told Conan what he knew.
Conan was shocked when he heard this, and shouted in a low voice, "What? Have you seen Karthas before? ”
He remembered that before, Qinghai Chuantang said that he was twenty-three years old, and eighteen years ago he was five years old.
Generally speaking, children between the ages of two and five do not yet have the ability to promote memory, but only have the ability to simply describe a thing.
Seeing that Conan's expression gradually became suspicious, Qinghai Chuantang sighed helplessly, and could only choose to tell the truth.
"Shuichi Akai is fifty-eight years old, how old do you guess I am?"
Conan's expression became a little speechless, and he felt that the question was similar to "there is an apple tree on the mountain, ask how many bananas are on the tree", which is similar to the same thing.
"Eighteen years ago I was eight years old, so it's not surprising to remember."
Conan nodded, but quickly reacted to something, and looked at her with a shocked face, "So, you and Mr. Akai are really father and daughter?" ”
Qinghai Chuantang coughed lightly in embarrassment and turned his head slightly.
"That's not the point"
Eighteen years ago, Qinghai Chuantang was also on this ship.
She was woken up by the alarm at night, and then found a man with an injured arm squatting in the room.
When she had bandaged the wound with a handkerchief, Karthas left from the balcony.
"What does that Karthus look like?"
"If you ask Kidd what the thief looks like, I might be able to answer you. But Karthas was wearing a mask and couldn't see what it looked like. ”
"What does Kidd the thief look like?" Conan persistently asked.
Qinghai Chuantang looked down at him and deliberately sold a pass.
"Don't you look in the mirror?"
"Huh?"
Conan blinked, seeming to understand something.
And Maori Kogoro and others searched for a long time, but they didn't find Nanahara's figure.
It seems that all 987 rooms will be searched tomorrow.
After returning to the room, Qinghai Chuantang looked at the tears of the siren in the glass display case and fell into deep thought.
The so-called "Siren's Tears" is actually a pale blue, crystal-shaped borosopsrite.
After sighing, she walked over to the couch and sat down, picking up the booklet on the coffee table with an interview with a crew member who happened to be working in the cleaning room.
After the ship set sail, the room, where towels and sheets had never been replaced, was the key to finding Nanahara.
Apparently, Conan knew this too.
So the next day, with his crazy hints and guidance, they came to one of the two rooms, one of the rooms, and knocked on the door.
The tenants are the pair of explosive-headed brothers, the taller one is called Bao Xiao, and the shorter one is called Bao Da.
After seeing them, the two of them suddenly noticed a look of surprise and their eyes widened.
Some stammered, "Why, what?" ”
"I'm sorry. Mr. Hoda, for safety, we are checking rooms that have not been cleaned. ”
Bao Da hurriedly waved his hand and said "no" again and again.
"So flustered, can't there be something unsightly?"
Hearing Maori Kogoro say this, the two of them immediately panicked, and glanced back at the boat in the bottle on the table.
"Boat?"
"I, we're directors and screenwriters!"
The two of them hurriedly blocked everyone's sight with their bodies, "Now they are creating new works with the luxury passenger ship as the background. ”
"No, that's right!"
Bao Da echoed his younger brother's words and said, "We are a small group of film controllers, well-known producers, Bao Da Bao Xiao Brother." ”
Qinghai Chuantang tilted his head slightly and saw the layout of the passenger ship posted on the wall.
and the location marked with a red pen with a large "gl" written in a circle.
Next, there is another room.
The guest was a Singaporean man.
In the photo, he has shoulder-length white hair, a goatee, and his name is Mo Youqian.
"Isn't it, isn't this man Kartha?"
Yamamura carefully pressed against the wall, hesitating to open the door and enter.
What if the other party has a weapon?
"In this case, it's better for me to go out of my Maori Kogoro!"
Mori Kogoro straightened his blazer and turned the doorknob to walk in, and couldn't help but be stunned.
I saw that next to the bed, the man was kneeling on the ground naked, as if he was sitting down.
It's just that his head is tilted to the right.
The neck was full of blood, and there was a hole that had been poked, which made people shrink their necks when they saw it.
"He's the Seven Plains."
The wooden chair on the side was broken, perhaps killed after a fight with the prisoner.
Qinghai Chuantang looked up at the ceiling and found that there were signs of depression in several places.
The slightly upturned edges indicate that someone has attached something to it, in order to cover it up.
On the carpet, there are a few drops of blue ink.
Qinghai Chuantang squatted down, reached out and touched it, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it.
It has a very special ink flavor, like yogurt with a hint of alcohol.
"Anxia, wait!"
However, Hiroaki Kada couldn't stop her.
When Anxia looked at this scene, she showed a look of disbelief, and couldn't help but stretch out her hands to cover her mouth, trying not to let herself make too excited sounds.
Then, Anxia was called to the deck by Yamamura Cao for questioning, and with him, of course, there was Maori Kogoro.
Yamamura Cao looks like he has seen everything.
"You said you had been looking for Mr. Nanahara the night before yesterday, right?"
"That's right."
"Can anyone prove it?"
"What do you mean?"
Yamamura smiled confidently and showed the temperament of the world's number one criminal policeman.
"Why is the body kneeling? In other words, it is likely that the couple quarreled, and when the other party apologized, the other party got angry and killed the apologetist! ”
After speaking, he looked at Mori Kogoro and asked, "Mr. Mori, what do you think of my reasoning just now?" ”
In the face of such a pure and beautiful woman, Maori Kogoro is naturally unwilling to believe the murderer of the other party.
But it is not impossible for Yamamura to guess.
"Are you doubting me?"
At this time, An Xia had a pitiful look.
Maori Kogoro coughed lightly, "It's just a possibility, Miss Anxia, don't go!" ”
He turned around and stretched out his hand, but after all, it was as if Erkang couldn't stop Ziwei.
