Conan's First Love is a Profiler

Chapter 145 Tears of the Siren
"Inspector. We found a small amount of explosive powder in the room."

Shancuncao was shocked when he heard this.

"Explosives? How can there be such a thing?"

After hearing this, Maori Kogoro stroked his chin and thought: "Could it be that Karsus is resentful of what happened eighteen years ago, so in order to seek revenge, he wants to blow up the ship during the last voyage?"

Conan, who was eavesdropping on the side, was shocked after catching a few key words, and hurriedly ran towards the room where Qinghai Chuantang was.

After knocking on the door and seeing no one answered, he pushed the door open and walked in.

The room here is much larger than his, and can be called truly luxurious.

Sure enough, people with huge insurance money can do whatever they want?
"Sister Xiaotang, are you in there?"

Conan called out, but still no one answered.

After entering the inner room, the first thing that catches your eye is the light blue gemstone surrounded by infrared rays in the glass display box - the Siren's Tear.

Conan exclaimed: "What a beautiful gem."

After saying this, Conan realized something was wrong and immediately shook his little head.

After waking up a little, he began to look for clues in the room.

At this time, Conan found a black envelope on the coffee table.

After opening it, the first thing you see is a white card with the words "Anyone who knows the secret will die" written on it in English.

The signature is "Karsas".

There are several secretly taken photos in it, and the people in the photos are Yang Moumou, Hiroaki Shikata, Nanahara O, and Qinghai Chuantang.

Just now, a new fax from Karsas was received on the ship.

"I have kidnapped Qinghai Chuantang. Before 22pm, place one million US dollars on the helicopter pad. Before then, do not approach. If you disobey my order, you will be waiting to collect the hostage's body."

The crew has gone to look for it, but there is no cash on board and ransom has become a problem.

Conan clenched his fists when he heard about this through the phone in Qinghai Chuantang's room.

Damn it, does Karsus really want to kill someone?

But the question now is, where is he going to get this one million US dollars?
"Conan, what are you doing in my room?"

At this moment, a doubtful voice sounded from behind.

Conan was stunned and turned to look at the other person, but it was an ordinary-looking woman wearing a butler's uniform.

He suddenly had the illusion that everyone in the world knew how to disguise themselves, except him.

"Sister Xiaotang, what is going on?"

"Well, I was indeed kidnapped, but I just happened to escape."

Qinghai Chuantang walked over, entered the password of the electronic lock, opened the drawer, and took out a black portable password box.

“Is there really a million dollars in here?”

"Not only that, it's filled with large-denomination banknotes from Tiandi Bank."

After saying that, Qinghai Chuantang rubbed his index finger and felt it was slippery and a little sticky.

As the two were heading forward, an alarm suddenly sounded on the ship.

Conan was shocked: "Could it be that the GL Lion was stolen?"

"it's not true."

Qinghai Chuantang shook his head and said, "Karsas's target is not the GL Lion, but the Tear of the Siren. And this alarm sounded once eighteen years ago."

Kogoro Mori and Sou Yamamura, who were unaware of the truth, rushed into the room and caught the two men who were about to escape.

Dressed in black and wearing the masks used by kidnappers, they undoubtedly confirmed their identities as "thieves".

These two men were Bao Da and Bao Xiao whom we had met before.

Yamamura Cao picked up the phone in the room and said, "This is Yamamura, GL Lion is fine, stop the alarm."

The alarm stopped instantly.

"Now, arrest you on the spot for attempted theft and damaging public property." After saying that, Yamamura Cao took out two pairs of handcuffs.

The two men who were making surrender gestures were stunned and looked at each other in confusion.

"Damage to public property?"

I saw that one of the wings of the GL lion in the display cabinet was broken.

After Conan and Qinghai Chuantang rushed to the tarmac, they found a piece of paper on the ground with the words written in English: The hostages are in lifeboat No. 1.

The signature is still Karsus.

"Since you have already escaped, who is in the lifeboat now?"

"The casino's mascot doll jacket was used as a stand-in."

When he arrived at lifeboat No. 1, Conan saw a crow doll tied up and his mouth twitched.

What a familiar rope method.
On the side, there is a time bomb that is counting down.

"Don't worry, I learned how to defuse bombs in Hawaii."

When Conan was about to start, Qing Hai Chuan Tang said, "The bomb was fake, so I left with peace of mind."

However, even though it is fake, it does not mean that there is no impact at all.

After leaving with the puppet costume, the lifeboat fell into the water within seconds.

Seeing this, Conan joked: "If you hadn't left in time, you might have been stranded on a desert island right now, right?"

"If that happens, maybe I can be like Robinson Crusoe and write a book called The Adventures of Qinghai Chuantang."

Qinghai Chuantang smiled and said, "However, even if I really end up stranded on a deserted island, I have a way to leave immediately."

Conan exclaimed "Awesome" after hearing this, and asked curiously, "What's the solution?"

“Just draw a Mickey Mouse in the empty space.”

"what?"

At this time, the ship received another fax from Karsas -

Sailing according to the plan, no rescue and case search are allowed. If this is not done, there will be new casualties.

"This case was not committed by Karsas. Including the kidnapping, it was also committed by someone else."

That limited-time bomb was just a cover without a detonator.

"The other party's real purpose is probably the Siren's Tears."

Along the way, the two of them discussed as they walked.

"Speaking of which, Sister Xiaotang, how did you get the 'Siren's Tears'?"

After hearing this question, Qinghai Chuantang suddenly stopped.

After sighing, he turned and looked at the bright moon in the sky.

"Maybe, it's just a superstition."

Once he saw the beauty of the gem, he bought it at an auction. Because of its name, he used it as a "guardian stone" when traveling at sea.

"But isn't it the Siren who can deceive people and kill sailors with her singing?"

“So I said it’s superstition.”

It dates back to the seventeenth century.

At that time, the Tears of the Siren were a secret treasure that pirates competed for.

The holder will become extremely wealthy, and there is even a legend that whoever possesses it will not encounter a shipwreck.

All those in power at that time were pursuing this stone.

For a long time, the Li Group in Hong Kong kept it as a family heirloom, but it was later auctioned off.

"So, you took the photo?"

After checking the price of the Siren's Tears on his phone, Conan was surprised and said, "I didn't expect the estimated price to be 5 billion yen!"

But Qinghai Chuantang doesn't look like a stupid person with a lot of money.

In contrast, Conan expressed deep suspicion: "Are you going to rob it?"

After Qinghai Chuantang treated Conan to a bowl of sugar-roasted chestnuts, he said unhappily, "Do I look like someone who would do something so shameless?"

She just happened to have a cheat.

"Okay, let's get back to the point. Did you figure out the purpose of the criminal putting a life jacket on Yang Moumou after he was killed?"

Conan nodded.

"Prisoner, hoping to carry out rescue operations."

If a person falls off a boat, the method of steering is common all over the world.

Turn the rudder in the direction of the fall and stop the engine to prevent the person from being caught in the boat's propeller.

However, the boat's engine also doubles as a generator.

Once this stops, the power supply will also stop.

The maximum time required for the switch to the reserve clerk is forty-five seconds, as specified in the ship's equipment regulations.

The rescue operation was facilitated and the power supply to the ship was shut down, all for the sake of the Tear of the Siren.

The security device consists of two layers of devices: infrared sensor and electronic lock.

But once the power is cut off, both functions will stop.

"The criminal's goal was to steal the Siren's Tears during the 45-second gap when the power went out and switched to backup power."

However, the prisoner failed.

Because when he was about to enter the suite, he met Mo Youqian.

Afterwards, the criminal followed the other person and discovered the man's true identity, which was Nanahara O.

Nanahara Ou and Mo Youqian are the same person, except that the latter has changed his clothes a little. The purpose of doing so is naturally to steal the tears of the siren.

Half a year ago, he began lurking in the ship as an apprentice chef, preparing to steal the Siren's Tears.

He approached Shikada Hiroaki's daughter An Xia, made a master key, broke into the suite, and investigated the exact location of the base of the Siren's Tear.

Then, on this voyage, he used a fake passport to board the ship as Mo Youqian.

We booked a room directly below the suite and drilled a few holes in the ceiling directly below the safe.

"He should be planning to place explosives in the hole to knock down the entire safe so that he can take the Siren's Tears."

Although this was just Conan's guess, the mystery of the kneeling corpse was solved because of his guess.

The murderer who killed Nanahara O discovered the drill, explosives and the hole in the ceiling and understood the other party's plan.

If the crime scene were discovered like that, Nanahara O's pursuit of the Sea Monster's Tears would be exposed, and anti-theft measures would become stricter.

The murderer tried so hard to hide the evidence that only the hole in the ceiling remained.

Unfortunately, the chair that Nanahara O used to rest his feet on was broken, and he had nothing to rest his feet on.

So then.
Although there are beds and sofas in the house, these things cannot be moved.

Large furniture on a ship often has its legs fixed to prevent it from moving when the ship rocks.

Therefore, the murderer had to use the corpse as a stepping stone.

"elder brother."

"kindness?"

"Thank you always."

Bao Da and Bao Xiao were handcuffed and sat facing a pillar.

"what happened?"

There were only two of them in the small room, and there were no guards outside the door.

"After mom and dad died, you have been taking care of me."

"Protect the little one."

Bao Da looked at his brother and said, "I'll tell you in these last few days. Dad and mom, who have always been your parents, are actually... forget it, it's a long story."

Bao Xiao leaned his head against the pillar, and felt his curiosity was instantly aroused, and he wanted to know more.

"Protect the little one."

Baoda stood up from the stool and said with a chuckle: "It's too early to give up now."

He put his hand into his pocket, and because of this action, Bao Xiao's head hit the pillar, making a crisp collision sound.

Then, Bao Da took out something and said with a mysterious smile, "This is the final trump card."

Bao Xiao was shocked.

"This is!"
