"What's the situation?"

"I don't know! What you can see now is the flag burning on the top of the mast, I don't know why, but I think there's more to it than that, if I'm not mistaken! Someone has shot here before, and you can't get that sound wrong! ”

Yuichi and Hattori, who also heard the gunshot, didn't care about secretly searching everyone's room, and hurriedly locked the door they had opened by abnormal means, and then came to the deck with the sound, and after a brief exchange with Nagisa Isobei, Minoru Ebi, and others who met halfway. Yuichi, who knew who he should find out what happened when he wasn't in the restaurant, sneaked up to Conan and whispered to him. However, Conan, who had just followed Mori Kogoro and others to the deck not long ago, could imagine the information that could be provided to him.

Just when the Kudo brothers bit their ears, Hattori, who followed Yuichi to the deck, immediately squatted down and began to look for clues on the deck after seeing Yuichi go to find Conan, and cooperated perfectly with Yuichi, but unfortunately the bullet hole he wanted to find was not found, but he accidentally found another interesting thing on the deck.

Looking at the 10,000 yuan bill that was stuck on the deck with a dagger in front of him, Hattori slowly leaned over and carefully recognized the scribbled words written on it.

"Poseidon, the god of the sea, gave me life! My shadow has been resurrected! What does that mean? Did someone deliberately provoke the war letter we sent? And this 10,000 yuan bill is actually an old version, could it be a prank made by someone on this ship with his own banknote? ”

While Hattori was staring at the bill in deep thought, Tadao Kamai, who was standing behind him, suddenly began to sweat profusely and retreated, muttering with an unbelievable face on his face as he retreated.

"He's alive! He's still alive! I knew he wouldn't die so easily! Help me! I don't want to die! Ahhh ”

"Mr. Whale Well?"

Everyone who heard his abnormal voice focused their eyes on Takuo Kamai, but just as Yuichi and the others were about to confirm something with him, a sudden explosion attracted everyone's attention to the stern of the boat.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know! But depending on the situation, it seems that something is burning in the stern! Damn, what's going on? Anyway, let's go put out the fire first! ”

"Hey! Come on! It's on fire! Someone put out the fire! ”

The crowd who figured out what was going on immediately ran towards the stern of the boat shouting, and when they ran over, they saw that the box at the stern of the boat for the emergency escape ladder was blazing.

"It turns out that the box of the emergency escape ladder is on fire! I don't know who made the prank! Bastard! Don't get caught! ”

Mori Kogoro, who was sure what was going on, breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but read in pieces, the gunshot just now, the burning mast flag, and the banknotes nailed to the ground with strange messages scared him a lot, and he thought that something terrible would happen, and he came to the stern of the boat on full alert, only to find that it was just a prank.

But is it really just a prank? Just when Mori Kogoro quietly breathed a sigh of relief, Yuichi, who was suddenly following him, squeezed him away from the box, and then desperately tried to extinguish the fire.

"Don't be stunned! Hurry up and put out the fire! Don't see anyone in the fire? ”

"What? Someone in the fire? ”

Everyone who heard Yuichi's roar suddenly froze in place.

"Damn! It's unrecognizable! Now I don't know when he died, and I don't know whose body it is! ”

After a moment of embarrassment, Mori Kogoro and others, who had more or less black marks on their faces, stood in front of the charred corpse rescued from the fire and examined them with ugly faces.

And Officer Samesaki, who thought that this matter had something to do with Ye Caisan, also looked at the scorched corpse and guessed after Mori Kogoro spoke.

"This corpse may be Ye Caisan who disappeared on the ship! Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to find him on the whole ship! ”

"I think this corpse could also be Mr. Crab River, right?"

Just as Kogoro Mori and Officer Sakazaki were putting forward their opinions, a somewhat hesitant voice suddenly joined the discussion about the identity of the charred corpse.

"Mr. Crab River? Mr. Hai, why do you think so? ”

Officer Izaki, who heard the voice, turned his gaze to the person he had just felt familiar.

"Because of that watch! If you look at the watch in his hand, I remember when I asked him the time, he was wearing this gold watch! ”

"Huh? That's what you say! Truly! Although it was burnt black, this sweater was indeed worn by Mr. Xiejiang in front of him! ”

"Hmmm! These pants seem to be too! ”

"If you look at it this way, it seems that it is really Mr. Crab River! But how did Mr. Crab Jiang die here? He just said he was going back to his room! ”

Hearing that Officer Samezaki and Mori Kogoro both agreed with Ebina's speculation, Xiaolan on the side couldn't help but sigh.

"Humph! It's ridiculous! You're still a retired detective and a detective! Can't you see such an obvious flaw? If you look closely at the posture of this corpse, the upper body is erected, as if it is specially for us to look at his watch, how can such a major situation ignore the past, and determine that this charred corpse is Mr. Xijiang just by virtue of that gold watch and clothes? Maybe it's someone else! ”

Just when Xiaolan sighed, Ji Bei Nagisa, who was standing beside her, suddenly sneered, and after attracting everyone's attention, she slowly said her speculation.

"Miss Isobe, that's hot stiffness! In a burning corpse, the skeletal muscles condense and contract due to heat, causing thermal stiffness. There are more bent muscles in the hands and feet than in the straightened ones, so the joints are all semi-curved, forming a posture like a boxer's attack, in other words, the charred corpse will naturally become like this, and it is not intentionally posed by someone! ”

"Oh? Is that so? That's teachable! ”

After glancing at Hattori, who suddenly opened his mouth to refute him, Nagisa Isobe smiled slightly and retreated back into the crowd. It seems that the person who just opened her mouth to laugh at Kogoro Mori and Officer Samezaki is not her at all.

Hattori, who ignored Nagisa's small movements and stared at the corpse, continued to explain his reasoning.

"I think it's his watch that cares about it!"

"Watches?"

"That's right! Look at this strap, it's loose! If it were Mr. Kane......"

"That must have bounced off when the gasoline canister that was put into the box with the corpse exploded!"

"Hmmm! It's possible! After all, the plastic sheet that just covered this box seems to have flown off! ”

"Plastic sheeting?"

Hattori, who was about to continue reasoning, heard the interruption between Kogoro Mori and Officer Samezaki, and immediately asked. The detective's instincts tell him that any hint of weirdness could be the clue to the final solving of the case.
