Chapter 9: Thief Detective?

In the cruise restaurant, Gao Cheng met Maori Kogoro and his party again, but the situation was very embarrassing.

The old man Qiben coldly shouted at his son-in-law and asked, "Who is he?" Did you bring it on board on your own initiative? ”

The husband of the family of the family, Kitaro Qimoto, said in a panic: "No, I have never seen him......"

"That, he's ......" Mao Lilan wanted to help, but was startled by the old man's terrifying eyes.

"Is it a thief?" The old man snorted coldly.

"I'm really sorry," Gao Cheng hurriedly explained, "Actually, I came up without permission to investigate some things, and I am a ...... of the Chenghu Detective Agency."

"Detective?!" Before Gao Cheng finished speaking, the faces of the people present changed one after another.

"Humph!" The old man Qimoto left the restaurant with a gloomy face and said, "Lock this guy up first, and hand it over to the police when he arrives in Tokyo!" ”

"Huh?" Gao Cheng saw everyone's reaction and said in a daze, "What, what's wrong?" ”

The old man's granddaughter, Qi Ben Xia Jiang, apologized and said: "My grandfather hates detectives the most, he said that detectives are despicable guys who follow people all day long and dig people's privacy......"

"Huh?"

Gao Cheng was locked up in the warehouse with a stunned face, and after reacting, he hurriedly knocked on the door and said, "Wait a minute! There's going to be a murder on this ship, I mean it! ”

"Brother Gao Cheng, they're all gone."

Conan stayed alone, leaning against the warehouse and said obediently, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "It's really incredible, I can touch you like this." ”

"Hmm," Gao Cheng asked as he sat down helplessly, frowned and looked out the door, "You said they wouldn't really hand me over to the police, right?" ”

Conan said noncommittally: "But Brother Gao Cheng sneaked up, and he said that he was a detective." ”

"Who knew they hated detectives so much, and besides, weren't Maori detectives detectives detectives too?" Mentioning this Gao Cheng is even more depressed.

"Uncle hasn't told them yet," Conan paused, and suddenly asked, "Hey, Brother Gao Cheng, is it true that you said that there was going to be a murder here?" ”

"Of course it's true, that's my instinct as a detective."

"Huh."

……

In the cabin, Takeshi Akimoto, who had just married Takeshi Akimoto (because of his wealth, his surname followed the woman) was called into the room by the old man.

"Xiao Wu, you behaved well at today's wedding," the old man Qiben sat quietly on the sofa and said, "Xia Jiang is really good at picking her husband." ”

"Ha, thanks for the compliment."

Qi Benwu shyly scratched his face with his fingers, and the old man who saw this scene snorted and said: "Scratching your face when you are shy, it really looks like a person." ”

"Huh?" Takeshi Flag didn't know why.

"You are like your father, Yuo Caicheng!" The old man said with a calm face, "Do you think you can hide it from me by doing your hands and feet on the household registration?" In order to avenge your father, you sneaked into the company and took the opportunity to approach Xia Jiang, I have known this for a long time! Say, what exactly is your purpose?! ”

The old man looked coldly at Qi Benwu, whose face had changed drastically: "Do you want money, or do you want my life?!" Say! What's wrong? You have nothing to say? Say it! ”

"Goo!" In the cruise warehouse, Gao Cheng screamed with hunger.

It was getting late and late, and he hadn't even eaten before for fear of missing the ship.

"Conan, that guy doesn't care about me anymore, ...... go on like this"

At dinner time, the old housekeeper walked outside the old man's room and saw that there was no response to the call, so he had to take out the spare key: "Excuse me, master, everyone is waiting for you......"

When he opened the door, the old butler's face changed suddenly, and he retreated in horror: "Masterβ€”β€”! ”

The exclamation resounded in the cabin, and Gao Cheng in the warehouse heard the sound for the first time, and hurriedly knocked on the warehouse door and shouted: "What happened?" Hey, open the door! ”

"Bang bang!"

He slapped him several times, but the people on the boat seemed to be attracted by the shouting, and no one paid any attention to him.

In a hurry, Mao Lilan hurriedly ran over, pulled the bolt outside the door and said, "Oh no, Gao Chengjun, Xia Jiang's grandfather has been killed!" ”

"What? The old man? ”

Rushing to the scene of the murder with Mori Lan, Gao Cheng saw everyone gathered at the door of the room, and Mori Kogoro had already started reasoning.

The suspect was locked up as Takeshi Akimoto, the new husband of Natsue Akimoto.

Takeshi Akimoto's true identity was revealed, and he was the son of Yuo Saijo, Takehiko Saijo, who committed suicide by taking away the company by the old man Akimoto ten years ago.

Maori Kogoro scolded in a deep voice: "In order to avenge your father, you approached Xia Jiang and mixed into the Qiben family...... This murder was actually premeditated by you! ”

"That's not it!" Takeshi Qimoto said anxiously, "I didn't kill anyone!" Really, trust me! ”

Gao Cheng squeezed into the crowd and watched with a gloomy expression as Qi Benwu was taken to the warehouse: "No, it's not him, the murderer is not this person." ”

Not just because he didn't believe in Mori Kogoro's reasoning, but because he already knew the real criminal.

Gao Cheng's gaze swept over everyone.

Although he did not know which one it was, he knew the relationship between the prisoner and the deceased.

Because he had bought the first volume of Conan's comics before, and there happened to be this part of the content about luxury passenger liners, I don't know which bastard drew a circle for the murderer at the beginning, "The murderer is this person".

It was the first time he had seen it, so he still vaguely remembered the identity of the murderer.

If there is nothing wrong, the murderer should be the grandson of the deceased, and Takeshi Qimoto was just blamed.

But how can we find evidence?

Gao Cheng followed Conan into the room where the corpse was, but he couldn't see much.

"Want to use Detective mode?" Seeing what Conan seemed to have discovered, Gao Cheng thought secretly, "No, it's only one minute, if you don't have enough time, it's troublesome, try to find clues first." ”

"Big brother," Conan picked up a crumb of bread from the bloodstains and asked coldly towards Gao Cheng, "There seem to be bread crumbs in the blood, what's going on?" ”

"Huh?" Gao Cheng came back to his senses and stared at the blood-stained bread crumbs on Conan's hand for a while, although he knew that it should be a clue, he couldn't analyze the reason, so he could only say, "This, I think it may be that the old man has eaten bread." ”

"That's right."

Conan turned around with a disappointed look, and the corners of his mouth twitched secretly: "Sure enough, he's just a confused detective, and I was almost deceived by this guy again...... Well? Why do you say again? ”

Shaking his head vigorously, Conan turned to the old butler on the side and asked, "Butler Suzuki, is there bread in the dishes at today's wedding banquet?" ”

"Huh?" The old butler was stunned for a moment, and replied, "Of course there is, because it is French cuisine, this is the second young master Xiang who runs a French restaurant, and he insists on doing this." ”

"And does everybody eat bread?" Conan continued.

"Well, except for the master, the master hates eating Western food the most, especially bread ......"

"Damn." Gao Cheng looked at Conan who was asking questions out of the corner of his eye, and his gaze returned to the other Qiben family members again.

Conan's observation is indeed very powerful, and he can even notice such inconspicuous crumbs in his blood, and he is much better at finding clues than him.

But what he needs to do most now is to find out the murderer first, find out who the old man's grandson is, he doesn't know the Qiben family here at all, let alone figure out the relationship between these people.
