"Oh, so, you're that famous detective, sleeping Mori Kogoro?"

Noticing the movement behind her, the short-haired woman Nagisa Isobe turned her head thoughtfully, looked at Mori Kogoro seriously for a moment, and laughed: "It's really you." It's not too similar to the report. ”

"Won the award...... looked at the woman's delicate figure and delicate and pretty face, Maori Kogoro, who was interrupted to catch up with his old boss, paused, his attitude softened suddenly, and he touched the back of his head and smiled shyly.

"Detective, that's true, I don't know Tarzan with eyes......" Medium-tall, two-puffed mustache Whalei Dingo observed the appearance of Maori Kogoro, with a subtle light flashing in his eyes.

Would it be too risky to complete such a challenging plan in front of a detective?

Well, however, it makes sense that I have designed such an ingenious puzzle that it will attract detectives who want to solve it.

Thinking of this, Whale Well Dingxiong felt a little complacent, smiled and poured himself a glass of wine, held it in his hand and shook it, very intoxicated.

He will prove it, even if there is no Ye Caisan, he is also a genius of crime, he can live better, he will prove it!

"Squeak-"

The screeching sound of the chair legs rubbing was heard,

"Well, that, I'm sorry, I'm not too comfortable, I want to go back to the room first." Teruyoshi Kameda, who was bowed, stood up suddenly, and found that he had attracted the attention of the audience, and muttered with a blue face.

"It's still so easy to get seasick, and when you see the sea, your legs are weak, Kameda!" Sitting across from him, Xi Jiang smiled for a long time and raised the red wine glass in his hand, "Rest more, get to your destination, and have a better view." ”

Although they are former accomplices who have already recognized each other, they can be called grasshoppers on a rope, but considering that in the future, they will share the wealth of the late twenty years equally, he looked at this submissive guy, and he was a little angry.

Twenty years ago, this bastard was also like this, hesitating, not wanting to contribute and not wanting to contribute, driving a car and grinding ......

It's unpleasant to think about sharing your hard-earned money with such a guy.

Conan's suspicious gaze shifted from one person to another, and he looked at Teruyoshi Kameda, whose face was very ugly, and secretly speculated about the situation in his heart.

As soon as the uncle's identity as a detective comes out, it will always attract some spooky fears, which is a good opportunity to observe......

"What are you doing?" Scanning Conan, who was looking at the crowd, Yu Guang noticed that Tang Ze, who was sitting next to him, was biting the orange juice straw, crackling and pressing his mobile phone, looking at this input frequency, as if he was arguing with someone, and couldn't help but ask.

"Well, I think I found a surprise." Tang Ze didn't look up, continued to stare at the phone, withdrew to the desktop, and checked the time, "Is there another detective on this ship?" ”

"What's wrong? Who did you find out who he was? Conan shrunk his neck, and couldn't help but be secretly alert.

Tokyo, detective, young, male...... Hey, no, that guy Akechigoro......

When the two of them were muttering quietly, Maori Kogoro was also sighing: "It's a little lonely for such a big ship to have dinner with so many people." ”

"In addition to everyone in the restaurant, there are two other travelers resting in their rooms." The receptionist standing on the side replied with a smile.

Whale Ei's eyes lit up, and he put down the wine glass in his hand and asked casually, "Oh, I did see an old man in the corridor." What does he do? He looks like a man of few words. ”

"Oh, when you say the old man's words, it seems that he is a marine biology researcher, and his name is 'Ye Caisan'."

“…… Ye Caisan?! ”

This is the time.

flipped through the messages of the emails, and cut to Tang Ze, who had confirmed the progress of the strange thief line, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The timing was just right.

At the end of the corridor leading from the restaurant to the guest room, Teruyoshi Kameda, with his vague steps, staggered in the direction away from everyone.

At the other end of the hallway, the detective clenched his fist in anger was gradually emerging from the dim light.

The signal has been intermittent, flashing past the snowflake screen TV from time to time, and suddenly after a few slightly harsh noises, a smooth picture transmission begins, and the voice of the news host's sweet flat comes out of the speaker.

Since someone turned on the TV, the sound was too faint for the ship's attendants to adjust it to normal, so they had to explain that the signal at sea was indeed very bad, so the volume of the TV was turned up very high, and then abandoned it.

Now it suddenly returned, and the excessive volume echoed through the somewhat deserted restaurant like the waves of the furious sea.

"Whoa—where's the remote?" Mori Kogoro raised his hand to cover his ears and asked hurriedly.

"It just looks like a waiter...... Forget it, let's turn it off first. On the other side, Nagisa Isobei also frowned, and was about to call for the waiter to come and deal with the faulty equipment, when his eyes were suddenly attracted by the picture on the screen.

The host's smiling face had disappeared from the screen, and a shaky video of the perspective of a video camera worn on his chest suddenly switched in.

A thick white fog rose, like dry ice on the stage, and in the light of a few flashlights and the panicked shouts and coughs, the white smoke faded slightly, revealing the bright red symbol on the tiled floor in front of it.

Top hats, playful masks, and joyful, brightly colored flames.

The mark that belongs to the Monster of the Heart Thief Group,Like the protagonist who slowly appears in a white mist.,In this way, the true body is revealed from the white mist.。

Even more appealing than the picture is the voice of the TV announcer as the narrator.

“…… This is the largest theft case ever committed by the bank, and the value of the stolen items is about 400 million yen, based on the insurance and deposit certificates signed by the user at the time of deposit. Police speculate that this is likely to be a targeted retaliation incident, according to video footage provided by security personnel at the scene......"

"The Monster of the Heart...... Bandits" Maori Kogoro, who saw the content of the picture, frowned tightly, and suddenly bared his teeth and grinned.

Good guys, should we thank these guys for waiting for themselves to leave the shores of Tokyo before they become active? Otherwise, these media people will associate things with him again.

"Cuphu Industrial Bank-" When Xie Jiang heard this name that he had been thinking about for a long time, he turned his head suddenly, and his eyes were full of bloodshots.

"400 million yen, but it's ...... today," Sharkizaki Shimaji muttered a few words, looked up in disbelief, and couldn't help but look down at the watch on his wrist.

The time is just after 7:30, and today is the last day of civil litigation.

Could it be that this group of thieves who claim to punish their sins......

The atmosphere of the whole restaurant froze all at once, and everyone's focus was different, but all eyes were fixed on the evening news that was being broadcast.

“…… The Monster of the Heart is a group that has suddenly become active in Japan in recent months, claiming to use their abilities to end evil and crime, and is a controversial and mysterious organization with a strange nature. Judging by the evidence left at the scene, they believe that the owner of the bank safe deposit box is a perpetrator who is not looting the money, but trying to take out the stolen money and return it to the 'person who should receive it'......"

“…… According to the bank's regulations, the bank does not support the custodian's claim for the amount of the contents, and if the safe deposit box is indeed stolen, the insurance company may also refuse to comply with the indemnity clause......"

Accompanied by the announcer's bland lines, which seemed to contain no emotion, the picture on the TV continued.

As the security personnel advanced, it was pitch black, and it seemed that the circuit had been cut off in the bank vault, and at the end of several flashlights, a large metal safe was quietly placed there.

The entire cabinet was covered with red, black and bright warning letters, and they patiently pasted all the facades of the entire cabinet as if they were afraid that others would not notice its abnormality.

After checking to confirm that there were no other flammable or explosive materials, the security personnel carefully opened the door of the safe and removed the black package inside.

The three people, who were about to stand and sit unsteadily, and whose despair and shock were overflowing, saw the fishing gear bag that was brought out in the cabinet, and their eyes shone again, and they couldn't help but start to feel lucky.

Yes, that's it, didn't these monsters say it, they didn't want to plunder the money, they wanted to show that the money stored here was stolen money.

They may not know that today is the last day of the validity period of the civil lawsuit for the robbery, but they just want to attract the attention of the authorities, and they want the police to restart the investigation or something-

After confirming the clearance through the intercom, several security personnel who entered the vault opened their bags.

As the zipper opened, a faint sound came through the gap in the zipper, and the mechanism placed in the middle activated.

In the next second, in the complicated gaze of everyone in the restaurant, a large handful of bright red teaser letters rushed out of the open zipper, startling the security guard in the main perspective to exclaim.

No matter what was originally contained there, it was obvious that it had been dropped by the Monster Thieves.

The light in the eyes of the three people was extinguished in unison.

Tang Ze brought the glass to his lips and took a sip of cool orange juice, hiding the smile at the corner of his mouth by the way.

Yes, it's the look of despair!

He took great pains to order them to bring so many catties of printed matter and change the cash in their bags tirelessly, wasn't it just to appreciate this moment and appreciate the hopeful expressions of these incompetent accomplices?

Cry, cry to Lao Tzu, cry louder!

"So it's because of this, I'll just say, the monster thieves don't really steal property." Worried, after reading the full report, Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and picked up the fork again.

“…… Which side are you on? Mori Kogoro glanced at Mori Ran not very neatly and let out a breath from his nose.

The monster thieves who followed him were really annoying.

After careful calculation, it seems that he did not cause him any substantial losses, but he is a good private detective, and he has an extra layer of aura on his body that will be targeted by masked vigilantes, which will lose a lot of customers!

He is not a full-time detective who assists the police in solving homicides, his main business is still to catch the junior, catch the affair, find the cat and the dog, and the lost and found.

"Dad, you're not really in a hostile relationship. He also saved our lives, and if Joker hadn't shown up in time, the Shinkansen would have exploded, but it would have been dangerous. Mao Lilan shook his head seriously, not feeling that there was anything wrong with his approval of the actions of the Monster Thieves.

They haven't really hurt anyone, and the parties who receive the notice letter are either criminals who have committed serious crimes, or they are confused people who have some negative emotions and need to be explained.

Is there anything wrong with recognizing that they are good people?

"Could it be that this 400 million yen is the case that Ye Caisan committed in the end-" Shimaji Samezaki's eyes were bright and sharp, he took a deep breath, couldn't help but pat the table, and let out a few laughs.

"Ye Caisan?" Hearing the name again, Mori Kogoro withdrew his attention from the TV screen and muttered to himself, "This name is a little familiar......

"Maori, you idiot! What a memory! Shimaji Sakazaki, who looked particularly uplifted, raised his hand and patted Maori Kogoro on the back heavily, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be suppressed, "That was before, we hunted down together, the main suspect in the 400 million yen robbery, the shadow planner Ye Caisan!" ”

He looked at the news host on the TV who had already begun to explain the Monster of the Heart's Thieves, and laughed heartily: "Yes, it's today!" Today is the last day of the validity period of the civil lawsuit for robbery, and if you can't find the whereabouts of the stolen money after today, the money really can't be recovered! Hahaha, hahahaha......"

Although the criminal prosecution period of the case has long passed, although he also knows that he who came to the ship for a banquet today because of a name is just an old man who stubbornly chases the phantoms of the past.

To be on this ship already shows the unrealistic fantasy he had, a little ethereal, eager anticipation.

Maybe this group of people has been rich and prosperous for 20 years with this bloodstained money, maybe they have disappeared for so long because they have already found a way to escape the law, and from now on in the vast sea of people, they will no longer find the shadow of these bastards......

But what if, what if?

However, than he could have imagined, the best in case, the better in case, such a small probability of an event, just like that!

Black eats black, good food!

"Go, Maori! Let's go check this guy! The happy Samezaki Shimaji didn't care about anything else, and dragged Maori Kogoro up from his seat, "Waiter, which room is Ye Caisan, quick, tell me the room number, I'm going to enjoy this guy's ridiculous expression of failed abacus, haha!" ”

"Wait a minute, Samezaki Police, wait a minute, hey......"

He understands the excitement of his old boss very well, after all, every retired police officer, more or less, has one or two cases in his heart that he will never forget, and will have a few beautiful and sad dreams every midnight dream.

However, it's dinner time, and because he's busy arguing with Xiaolan, he hasn't had time to eat a few bites of food yet!

Maori Kogoro, who was pulled up involuntarily, struggled twice, but still couldn't break free from the iron pincer-like hand of the old detective's excitement, so he had to stagger to keep up with him, and under the gaze of the rest of the people, he walked all the way in the direction of the guest room.

The few people who stayed in place looked at the energetic backs of the two people with different moods, and slowly left the table, preparing to move in the direction of the guest room.

Ye Caisan, is it really on this ship?

The 400 million yen was really their last case......

The two old policemen passed by the man who was already standing in the hallway, and Mori Kogoro saw a very familiar and recognizable face, and his eyes widened.

This black-skinned boy from Osaka, how can he ......

Before he could say hello or ask a few words, Shimaharu Samezaki, who was excited and full of red light, had already dragged him to run, and quickly disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

"Hah, so, is this the reason why you called me on the boat for a long time?" Walking out of the corridor, Hattori Heiji, who was just in time for the whole show, secretly rolled his eyes, sighed, and slandered this inexplicable client again in his heart.

If you want him to investigate, you can investigate, what are you doing all day long......

But that's not the point right now.

Hattori turned around and walked in the opposite direction of the crowd, continuing to walk angrily in the direction of Karasawa.

"Hattori, why are you on the ship?" Noticing the approaching figure, Mao Lilan was surprised, "Do you actually like dolphins too?" What a surprise. ”

As she spoke, she also deliberately looked behind him to see if there was any sign of anyone else, and was disappointed to find that Yuanshan and Ye did not appear as she had hoped.

Oops, it's still a good date project to watch dolphins, and Hattori can't remember to call Kazuha Lai, it's too wasteful......

"How is that possible, I'm not...... No, you wait a minute, Tang Ze! didn't bother to say hello, Hattori Heiji widened his eyes, stretched out his hand, strangled Tang Ze's neck, and pulled him so that the whole person was crooked, "Which waiter said I was black?!" Yes?! And you, too, what do you mean, 'I heard there's a black detective on the boat, could it be you?' ”

"Wow, out of breath, out of breath!" Tang Ze screamed twice in a funny way, laughing and squeezing his eyes, "How can this be blamed on the waiter, it's not strange that your skin color will cause people to misunderstand, right?" ”

"Tang Ze—"

"Ahem, I'm out of breath, let go, let go-"
