Conan's First Love is a Profiler

Chapter 144 The World's No. Phantom Thief
"But what about the person you were with before?"

After a pause, Qinghai Chuantang explained, "I happened to see you two together when I passed by earlier, so I didn't disturb you. Is he your boyfriend?"

An Xia smiled and said, "He is Nanahara Oo, who was an apprentice chef on this ship half a year ago. We just happened to meet here to discuss the future."

The girl's innocent face revealed a happy smile, as well as the shyness that is unique to little girls.

"This is my last time going out to sea. Maybe I'll get proposed to."

Qinghai Chuantang joked with a smile.

"No la."

This was the answer on the surface, but in An Xia's heart, she was also looking forward to it, just as Qinghai Chuantang said.

Finding someone to spend your whole life with is not an easy thing.

Qinghai Chuantang sincerely wishes her the best.

The next day, An Xia knocked on Qinghai Chuantang's door in a panic and told her the news about Qi Yuanxu.

According to colleagues in the kitchen, it was time to change shifts, but the other party still hadn't shown up.

They started searching separately since morning, but still found nothing.

"Has Mr. Nanahara behaved in any unusual way recently?"

"If you say so"

An Xia seemed to recall something: "Before, he was very concerned about the situation around him, as if he was always worried."

Inside the bar, An Xia insisted on standing on the stage, and felt that the singing had become much more desolate.

Shikada Hiroaki stood in front of the bar, looking at her with a worried look on his face.

He took a sip of the drink on the bar and put the glass down.

Suddenly, his expression changed drastically.

After twitching a few times, he fell to the ground.

"manager!"

"father!"

The singing stopped abruptly and An Xia quickly ran down from the stage.

Hiroaki Shikada was immediately sent to the infirmary.

Fortunately, the rescue was timely and there was nothing serious. He just needed to rest more.

"Mr. Hongming, can I ask you a few simple questions?"

Under the guidance of Dr. Nii, Kogoro Mori and So Yamamura came to the room where he was.

Lu Tian Hongming nodded, looked at An Xia and said, "An Xia, go back to work, everything is fine now."

After Anxia left, Maori Kogoro continued: "A cardiotonic was added to the water that Mr. Hongming drank. It is a dangerous drug that may cause shock if a healthy person drinks it."

Shikada Hiroaki showed a slightly surprised expression.

Dr. Nii said, "Maybe someone took it from the medicine shelf and there's one pill missing."

"Do you have any idea?"

Shikada Hiroaki did not answer, but just lowered his head.

Yokomatsu Masahiro took a few steps forward and said, "Manager, just tell me."

Shikada Hiroaki was stunned and looked up at him: "Captain."

In fact, Hiroaki Shikata reported to Masaharu Yokomatsu that he had seen a man with long hair and an iron rod.

It is the same fugitive seen near Yang’s room.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Faced with Kogoro Mori's questioning, Hiroaki Shikada lowered his head and chose to remain silent.

Yokomatsu Masahiro sighed and said, "Perhaps it has something to do with Karsus."

"Karsas?"

Yamamura Sou and Mori Kogoro spoke in unison and looked at each other. Neither of them had ever heard of this name.

"In fact, eighteen years ago, Karsas sneaked into this ship. Because there was no loss, it was not made public. Only a small number of people knew about it."

Karsus is the world's number one thief.

In recent years, Vermeer's famous painting "Girl with a Pearl Earring" was stolen from the Mauritshuis Museum; and the Azeroth diamond was stolen from Feralas.

Recently, he successfully stole the Holy Grail in Summoner's Rift.

He left no evidence of his crimes except for the crime notice. His name was known to everyone, but his appearance was unknown.

"Excuse me, why did he come here eighteen years ago?"

"this."

After taking a look at the person on the bed, Yokomatsu Masahiro said, "We don't know either."

Karsas was chased by the security guards, was injured, and disappeared into the sea.

"Actually, I saw him briefly at that time."

Everyone's eyes fell on Shikata Hiroaki.

"At that time, he also had long hair and held an iron rod."

"Could it be!" Shancuncao suddenly realized something and showed a shocked expression: "The one who killed Yang Moumou was Karsas?"

After eavesdropping on all this at the outer gate, Conan quietly left, came to the deck, and informed Qinghai Chuantang of the news.

Qinghai Chuantang was stunned at first, then shocked, and then he touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

Then, he told Conan what he knew.

Conan was shocked when he heard this and shouted in a low voice: "What? Have you seen Karsus before?"

He remembered that Qinghai Chuantang said he was twenty-three years old before, which meant he was five years old eighteen years ago.

Generally speaking, children between the ages of two and five do not yet have the ability to use their memory, but are only able to simply narrate an event.

Seeing Conan's expression gradually becoming suspicious, Qinghai Chuantang sighed helplessly and could only choose to tell the truth.

"Akai Shuichi is fifty-eight years old this year. Guess how old I am this year?"

Conan's expression became a little speechless. He felt that this question was similar to "There is an apple tree on the mountain, and you ask how many bananas are there on the tree."

"I was eight years old eighteen years ago, so it's not surprising that I remember it."

Conan nodded, but soon realized something and looked at her in shock: "So, you and Mr. Akai are really father and daughter?"

Qinghai Chuantang coughed lightly with some embarrassment and turned his head away slightly.

“That’s not the point.”

Eighteen years ago, Qinghai Chuantang was also on this ship.

She was awakened by the sound of an alarm at night, and found a man with an injured arm squatting in the room.

After she bandaged the other person's wound with a handkerchief, Karsas left from the balcony.

"What does Karsus look like?"

"If you ask what Kaito Kidd looks like, I might be able to answer you. But Karsus is wearing a mask, so it's impossible to tell what he looks like."

"What does Kaito Kidd look like?" Conan asked relentlessly.

Qinghai Chuantang looked down at him, deliberately keeping him in suspense.

"Don't you look in the mirror?"

"Eh?"

Conan blinked, as if he understood something.

Kogoro Mori and others searched for a long time but could not find Nanahara O.

It seems that we have to search all 987 guest rooms tomorrow.

After returning to the room, Qinghai Chuantang looked at the Siren's Tears in the glass display case and fell into deep thought.

The so-called "Siren's Tears" are actually light blue, crystal-shaped borate aluminum stone.

After sighing, she walked to the sofa and sat down, picking up the booklet on the coffee table, which contained an interview report of a crew member who happened to be working in the cleaning room.

The key to finding Nanahara Oo is to find the room where towels and bed sheets have never been changed after the ship set sail.

Obviously, Conan also knows this.

So the next day, under his crazy hints and guidance, they came to one of the two rooms and knocked on the door.

The tenants were the pair of brothers with afro hair. The taller one was called Bao Xiao and the shorter one was called Bao Da.

After seeing them, the two of them immediately showed surprise and their eyes widened.

He stammered, "What, what?"

"Excuse me. Mr. Baoda, for safety reasons, we are confirming the rooms that have not been cleaned."

Baoda waved his hands hurriedly and said "no need" repeatedly.

"You are so flustered, could it be that something shameful has happened?"

After hearing what Kogoro Mori said, the two of them panicked and looked back at the ship in the bottle on the table.

"Boat?"

"I, we are the director and screenwriter!"

The two of them quickly used their bodies to block everyone's view, "We are currently creating a new work with the luxury cruise ship as the background."

"No, that's right!"

Bao Da echoed his brother's words and said, "We are just a small group of movie fans, well-known producers, Bao Da Bao Xiao brothers."

Qinghai Chuantang tilted his head slightly and saw the layout of the passenger ship pasted on the wall.

And the place marked with a red pen has a big "GL" written in the circle.

Next, there is another room.

The guest was a Singaporean man.

In the photo, he has shoulder-length white hair and a goatee, and his name is Mo Youqian.

"Could it be, could this man be Karsas?"

Shancuncao carefully stuck to the wall, hesitating whether to open the door and go in.

What if the other party has a weapon?
"In this situation, I, Kogoro Mori, will take action!"

Kogoro Mouri straightened his suit jacket, turned the doorknob and walked in, and was stunned.

Beside the bed, I saw a naked man kneeling on the ground, as if he was about to take a seat.

But his head was tilted to the right.

The neck was covered in blood and there was a hole there, which made people shrink their necks when they saw it.

"He is Nanahara Oo."

The wooden chair next to it was broken, perhaps because he was killed after a fight with the prisoners.

Qinghai Chuantang looked up at the ceiling and found that there were signs of dents in several places.

The slightly raised edges indicated that someone had stuck something on it to cover it up.

There are a few drops of blue ink on the carpet.

Qinghai Chuantang squatted down, reached out to touch it, and put it in front of his nose to smell it.

A very special ink smell, like yogurt with a hint of alcohol.

"Anxia, ​​wait!"

However, Shikada Hiroaki failed to stop her.

When An Xia saw this scene, she showed an expression of disbelief. She couldn't help but stretch out her hands to cover her mouth, trying not to make any overly excited sounds.

Then, An Xia was called to the deck by Yamamura Cao for questioning, and of course, Mouri Kogoro also went with her.

Yamamura Cao looked like he had "seen through everything".

"You said that you were looking for Mr. Nanahara the night before last, right?"

"Yes."

"Can anyone prove it?"

"What do you mean?"

Yamamura Cao smiled confidently, showing the temperament of the world's number one criminal policeman.

"Why was the body kneeling? In other words, it is very likely that the couple had an argument, and when one of them apologized, the other got angry and killed the one apologizing!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Maori Kogoro and asked for confirmation: "Mr. Maori, what do you think of my reasoning just now?"

Faced with such a pure and beautiful woman, Kogoro Mori naturally did not want to believe the murderer.

However, Yamamura Cao's guess is not impossible.

"Are you doubting me?"

At this moment, An Xia looked very pitiful.

Maori Kogoro coughed lightly, "It's just a possibility, Miss Anxia, ​​please don't leave!"

He turned around and stretched out his hand, but in the end it was like Erkang couldn't stop Ziwei.
