Chapter 324: When feeding the fish is in progress
So far, Hattori's knowledge of the black-clad organization has all come from Conan's dictation.
Therefore, he is actually more curious than afraid of this mysterious organization. Since Conan said so, Hattori Heiji didn't stop him anymore.
And when solving a case, it is more interesting to have people thinking together and comparing with each other than solving the case alone.
When the two of them were talking, the fire in the box in front of them had also been extinguished.
A group of people examined the body, dragged him to the restaurant, and forced him to ask him about the specific situation - it was really what he had just done, and no matter how you look at it, it seems that he knows a lot of inside information.
Tadao Whalei has his own script.
Although the retired police officer in front of him was fierce and terrifying, he still stood firm, and continued to maintain an expression of "I'm panicking, I know a lot" while saying "I don't know, I don't know anything".
Seeing that they couldn't ask anything for a while, Heiji Hattori and Conan left the restaurant and went to ask the crew nearby.
Then it was learned that all the crew members, including the captain, except for the passengers, were acting together with more than two people, and there was a perfect alibi.
These people sitting together in the restaurant also have alibi.
Therefore, the old man "Ye Caisan", whose whereabouts are unknown, and the other two people who have been hiding in the room and have not shown their faces, have become the key objects of suspicion.
"Kameda Teruyoshi, there is also a Tanaka Xun ......" Looking at the passenger list provided by the crew, Hattori Heiji and Conan glanced at each other, knowing that the "Tanaka Xun" in the back was a fake name casually made up by "Bourbon".
When they boarded the ship, the crew only registered their names – just like some inns, where they didn't have to show identification, and it was up to them to write their names.
However, the two also knew in their hearts that although Bourbon did not have an alibi, he should have little to do with this murder.
- Ye Caisan's incident happened twenty years ago.
Judging from Bourbon's approximate age, he was at most in elementary school at that time, and maybe even in kindergarten.
Unless Ye Caisan is his father, or some other important relative...... But this is unlikely. There is no need to bring other members of the organization with you for revenge, since it is a team of two, it should be a mistake, not a personal revenge.
Considering that bugging device, and what the members of the organization know about them so far...... Heiji Hattori and Conan were reluctant to come forward directly.
It would be easy for Bourbon to find out that the two were targeting him, and Bourbon might have thought that Conan had some evidence of his crimes—I heard that these people were very skilled in killing people, and now that the situation on the ship is so complicated, it is better not to provoke him yet.
Since Shinji Akai was still poking at the side, the two couldn't directly remind Officer Sharkizaki, so they could only hint with crazy eyes, wanting him to take the lead in asking Bourbon's alibi, and by the way, ask for some other information.
Coming forward by a retired police officer who is bent on tracking down Ye Caisan, it is not easy for Bourbon to feel "targeted" and think more.
However, Officer Samezaki has his own ideas.
He also felt that it was more doubtful that it was still more doubtful that it was still a middle-aged Kameda Teruyoshi than the young man he had only met once when he got on the boat, so he chose to go to Kameda Teruyoshi's room first.
The door to the room was closed, and several people gathered around the door, waiting for the crew to find the key to the house.
However, before he could find the key, Hattori was idle, and with a click, the door opened - it was unlocked.
When I opened the door, I could see that there was no one in the room, only a duffel bag next to it.
Heiji Hattori and Conan looked at the empty room, looked at the door again, and suddenly had a guess.
They suddenly didn't care about Officer Sharkizaki checking Bourbon, and they all focused on Ye Caisan's case, looking for traces on the ship according to their own ideas.
……
Shiraishi sat in his room and heard someone at the door ignoring the sign "Do not run in the hallway" and slipped through the smoke.
He looked at his watch, and through the gap in the curtains, at the already dark sky outside, and felt that it was time to do the task.
He remembered that in this case, when Hattori Heiji was looking for clues, he accidentally saw something amazing and was knocked into the sea by Xiao Hei with a stick...... That's about the time.
The mission of rescuing the innocent people on the ship of course also included Heiji Hattori.
Shiraishi put away his laptop and went out in the dark.
……
A few minutes later, Heiji Hattori and Conan followed different routes, and at the same time ran to the charred corpse at the stern of the boat.
The two of them each found some evidence, and then you and I began to explain the reasoning sentence by sentence.
Originally, they thought that they could share half of the lines by one person, complete the reasoning tacitly, say the answer at the same time, and then look at each other and smile.
However, as he spoke, both Hattori Heiji and Conan found that the other party thought differently from themselves.
No one is convinced, and if you want to convince the other party, you can only find more clues.
The two separated again and searched carefully.
At the same time, almost all the people gathered around the restaurant dispersed.
Although Officer Ishizaki told them not to walk around, the words of a retired police officer were not too binding.
Conan walked on the boat, chilled by the sea breeze.
Although he felt that he had not been exposed, he still feared that he would be captured without knowing it, just thinking that the two members of the organization were on the ship.
Originally, I planned to follow Hattori Heiji all the time, so that the other party could have some scruples, but just now I was obsessed with solving the case and accidentally forgot about this stubble...... When I finally remembered it, I found that Hattori Heiji had forgotten about it, and he also began to indulge in solving crimes.
Conan had no choice but to run back to the living room as soon as possible, and while asking the waiter for information, he let more people witness him, so that it would be more difficult for others to hack him, and concentrate on fighting wits and courage with the air.
……
On the other side, Hattori Heiji borrowed a flashlight from the crew according to his own reasoning, trying to find out if there was any secret place, and then find the murderer hiding there.
However, after looking around, I didn't find anything suspicious.
He leaned on the railing and sighed, originally wanting to change places and continue looking, but when he withdrew his hand, the light pillar of the flashlight flickered, and suddenly illuminated a figure outside the hull.
Hattori was stunned, shook the deviated lamppost back again, and took a closer look, and found that the person hanging outside turned out to be the long-disappeared Kane Jiu.
But unlike his previous inference, Crab Jiangjiu obviously didn't take the initiative to hide there. The middle-aged uncle looked unconscious, tied with a rope firmly on a soft ladder that hung down the hull.
Hattori stared at this scene, and his scalp tingled.
Of course, he was not shocked by the appearance of Xi Jiangjiu, but this kind of horror of "suddenly discovering that the real murderer is someone else" is really refreshing.
Hattori Heiji's whole body tensed, but it was still too late - there was a sound of breaking wind behind him, and he turned around sharply, just as he saw Tadao Whalei picking up a metal rod with a fierce expression, and slammed it head-on at him.
Hattori Heiji reluctantly lifted the flashlight and blocked it.
At the moment of the collision, his mouth was numb, the flashlight was knocked out, and the whole person was also knocked off the railing, plopping into the sea, and smashing a huge splash.
Although there is water below, there is no small drop, which still makes Hattori fall dizzy.
He pressed the corner of his forehead and vaguely saw the flashlight fall a few meters away. However, by the time it swam past, the light had already sunk into the sea, and the surroundings quickly became dark.
Hattori chased down a few meters, but failed, only to struggle to surface first.
He couldn't think of a way to get back to the boat for a moment—the boat was bare, with little focus, and the soft ladder that hung down looked very close, but in fact it was a long way from the water.
Moreover, the surrounding water is very loud, and the cries for help not only cannot be heard in the cabin, but may also be locked by Taruo Whale and shot with a gun.
At night, there is no flashlight, and there is no way to call for help from a passing ship......
Hattori Heiji was feeling a little desperate in his heart, and at this time, a chill suddenly appeared on his neck.
He raised his hand suspiciously, and then his expression became horrified - at some point, a very thin steel rope was put around his neck.
…… Whale Well has not given up on extinguishing the mouth?
The thought flashed through him, and as the ship moved forward, the steel rope tightened with force enough to break his neck.
