Chapter 33: Searched in advance
The thought flashed through Conan's mind, and he shook his head and threw it out.
Unlikely.
Although Shiraki's actions tonight were strange, he had no motive to kill at all.
"Indeed, I was the first to find out." Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Bai Shu nodded and admitted, "I went to the restaurant to pick up something." When I was about to come back, I suddenly heard movement on the deck, so I changed my route and came here. ”
"What's going on?" Conan couldn't help but interject again.
"Probably the sound of a beating." Bai Shu said very directly, "Before that, there was the sound of conversation and the subtle sound of water. ”
After a pause, he added, "Speaking of which...... When I first got to the hallway, I saw a man running in that direction. ”
He raised his hand and pointed at it, and Conan followed his direction, his face suddenly changed.
That's the direction of the warehouse!
The crowd gradually resounded with a buzzing discussion, and Ichiro Shimoto couldn't help but look at Shiraki, who knew that as soon as he raised his eyes, he met the other party's meaningful gaze.
Ichiro Shimoto's face turned pale with a brush, and his hands began to tremble unconsciously. That kind of look...... Did this person see him?!
It's like being read by a mind - as soon as this thought flashed, Ichiro Shiramoto heard Shiraki speak slowly, "By the way, I actually caught a glimpse of that person's face just now, but it was too dark at the time, and your family looked a little like ......"
"Who is it?" , Xia Jiang didn't listen to the second half of the sentence at all, only noticed that Bai Shu said that he saw the murderer, and she immediately raised her head.
After Xiaolan's enlightenment, Xia Jiang had a vague glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that the murderer was not Xiao Wu.
The girls' feelings are very delicate and sensitive, and after calming down, no matter what Xia Jiang thinks, she feels that Xiao Wu's previous feelings for her are not fake.
Akie was also excited. Mainly because she thought that there was a murderer running around on the ship, and she had just killed her husband, she couldn't sit still, and grabbed Bai Shu, "You should say it quickly, who is it?!" It's Xiao Wu! ”
…… Wrong.
While everyone was waiting for Shiraki's next words, Conan showed a thoughtful look.
Just think about it a little, Bai Shu's words are pure nonsense - although these books are a family, they have different appearances, and they are tall, short, fat and thin, as long as they see it, there is no possibility of admitting mistakes.
However, the first half of the sentence said that he saw the murderer, which is somewhat credible.
So...... Why not just say who the killer is?
What the hell is he trying to do?
Bai Shu grabbed Qiu Jiang's wrist and tried to free the collar from her, he was about to be strangled to death by this girl, "This is not in a hurry, and in the absence of definite evidence, you won't believe what I said." ”
"......", Qiu Jiang let go of his hand and frowned, "You mean, the murderer is not Xiao Wu?" ”
Hearing this, Mariko was the first to object, "How is this possible?!" ”
"Of course it's possible." , a child's voice suddenly interjected.
As soon as Bai Shu lowered his head, it was Conan, and this little broken child would never learn to be low-key.
Conan didn't notice anything, he looked intently at Mori Kogoro and Shoji, "Uncles should also remember, when we went to look for Brother Xiaowu, the door to the warehouse was open. ”
"yes." , Mori Kogoro nodded innocently, completely oblivious to Conan's hint.
"......", Conan began to regret why he didn't drag the white tree over when he went to the warehouse to check just now.
But you still have to keep smiling, "But uncle, you want to!" The warehouse is locked so tightly that unless someone opens the lock from the outside, the people inside will never be able to get out! ”
Maori Kogoro finally came back to his senses and snapped the door, "Yes, there doesn't seem to be any sign of the door being damaged, otherwise I should have noticed." ”
"That'...... The person you saw running towards the warehouse at that time was Xiao Wu's accomplice? Mariko's face was ugly, "Don't sell Guanzi, who is that person?!" Don't we believe you? ”
The presence of two corpses on the ship was scary enough. Now, there is actually one more wandering murderer and an inner ghost.
If you don't solve this matter quickly, no one can feel at ease.
"It's a matter of human life, and if I see it wrong, it won't be good if it turns into slander in the end." , Bai Shu glanced at her, and said in his heart, you won't believe it, it's your son who kills people, "It's better to find Xiao Wu hiding on the boat first, it's better to ask him directly about some things." Also, I have something I want to confirm. ”
Mori Kogoro stroked his mustache and thought it was a good idea.
However, he did not agree with the people of the Shan Ben family to search together, "You are still suspicious, let's find Xiao Wu and evidence, before that, please don't leave the restaurant." ”
"......", although they don't want their room to be overturned, they are more afraid that when they close the door after returning to the room, a kitchen knife will suddenly be poked out of their backs, so no one objects to this proposal.
The one who has a ghost in his heart is even more afraid to speak, and the more he opposes it at this time, the more he looks like a murderer.
Moreover, the kitchen knife that was used as the murder weapon had already been thrown into the sea by him, and the other spare one was not in the room, and his room should not leave a trace.
The proposal was unanimously approved.
The Suzuki butler took the key and followed Maori and his party to search the entire ship.
It's a pity that nothing was found.
Maori Kogoro wiped his sweat suspiciously, "I can't find it...... Could it be that he was too guilty after killing someone and jumped into the sea? ”
"......", Conan did not know how to comment on this audacious hypothesis.
Sneaking a glance at the white tree, seeing that he didn't react, Conan had to politely prompt, "It seems that we still have a place to look." ”
Conan's eager gaze was like a man's back, and Bai Shu was about to sweat when he stared at him, so he had to suddenly take the stubble, "Oh, it's everyone's room." ”
That's right. Conan breathed a sigh of relief, tired of talking to this group of people.
Maori Kogoro's eyes lit up, "yes, I almost didn't expect that." ”
The group was back in the cabin.
The first thing to be viewed was the room of the couple Kitaro and Mariko. I didn't find anything of value here, but I heard from the housekeeper that Kitaro and Mariko were cousins getting married. Conan touched his chin, thoughtful.
The second room is Shoji's, where they find a box containing kitchen knives, which should have been a set of six knives, but now, the two largest of them are missing.
“…… Why are there two missing? Even if the one that stabbed the old man to death was thrown into the sea, wasn't Ryuo killed by a blunt object? Maori Kogoro and Xiaolan were shocked, and Shiraki watched the play. Conan continued to touch his chin, thoughtful.
After that, it's Ichiro Sakimoto's room.
