Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

Inside the cabin

Forensic personnel are conducting a thorough search of the scene.

"The victim's name was Han Chuanlong, 32 years old, a freelance photographer."

"Inspector Megure, this is robbery and murder! The ring the victim was wearing around her neck is missing!"

"ring?"

“That’s right. The ring of Maria, the third daughter of Nicholas II! The victim always wore it around her neck as a necklace.”

At that moment, the forensic investigator walked up to Inspector Megure and handed him a ballpoint pen.

"Inspector, look at this."

Inspector Megure took the ballpoint pen and began to examine it.

The pen cap is engraved with a name – “M Nishino”.

With a reminder from Kogoro Mouri and Conan, Inspector Megure learned that the pen belonged to Chairman Suzuki's secretary, Mr. Naoto Nishino.

After the evidence collection and investigation phase was completed, Inspector Megure gathered all relevant personnel on board the ship in the salon area.

Looking at the group before him, Inspector Megure nodded slightly: "All those involved are here, right? Then let's..."

"—Inspector Megure, there's still one person missing!"

Inspector Megure was just about to question everyone in order when Conan interrupted him.

All eyes were on Conan.

Noticing everyone's gaze, Conan immediately adopted a childlike tone and said, "The older sister named Urako Seiran hasn't arrived yet!"

Upon hearing this name, everyone turned to look around and found that Ms. Pu Siqinglan was indeed not there, which immediately puzzled them.

At that moment, Officer Shiratori spoke up: "I just checked around the ship, and it seems that one of the lifeboats is missing."

"What!?"

Conan frowned after hearing what Officer Shiratori said.

"Pu Siqinglan did not arrive at the scene," "A lifeboat disappeared"...

The detective's intuition told him that the two things must be related.

He had noticed Pu Siqinglan back at the tea party. He also remembered that Longye had mentioned she was from Mao.

If what Longye said is true, then why does she, a Maoese, insist on claiming to be Chinese?

Thinking of this, Conan immediately took off running out of the hall.

He didn't even notice that two people were watching him.

……

"Shi Kaobing? Okay, Doctor, I understand!"

After hanging up the phone, Conan thought to himself, "I knew it!"

Just now, he called Dr. Agasa to ask for his help in investigating a criminal who "specifically shoots at the right eye".

Perhaps because the criminal was too famous, Dr. Agasa soon found relevant information on a mysterious website.

"An international bandit whose gender and age are unknown, and who specializes in shooting people in the right eye—Scobbin."

After receiving this information from Professor Agasa, Conan immediately had a guess in his mind.

Perhaps... Pu Siqinglan is Shi Kaobing!

Just as he was thinking with his head down, he suddenly felt someone watching him.

He immediately looked around, but didn't see anyone.

"Is it an illusion?"

After a moment of confusion, Conan set off back to the salon area.

At that moment, Officer Takagi returned to the location.

He walked up to Inspector Megure and held up the necklace in his hand: "Inspector, we have searched Mr. Nishino's room, and this necklace was found under his bed!"

Upon seeing the necklace, Uncle Mori also came over and exclaimed, "This is the necklace that Hanchuan Long was wearing!"

"Oh? Mr. Nishino, can you explain why this necklace ended up in your room?"

"And... why was your ballpoint pen in Mr. Hanchuan's room?"

Upon hearing Inspector Megure's question, Naoto Nishino broke out in a cold sweat.

"I really don't know! I never took this necklace, and I don't know why my pen ended up in Mr. Hanchuan's room!"

Seeing that Naoto Nishino still wouldn't admit he was the culprit, Uncle Mori pointed at him and said, "The evidence is right in front of you, and you still won't admit it?!"

"Mr. Nishino is not the culprit! The real murderer is Scorpion!"

Upon hearing Uncle Mori's incorrect accusation, Conan immediately jumped out.

Conan's words clearly attracted everyone's attention.

"Shi Kaobing?" Inspector Megure looked at Conan with a puzzled expression.

“That’s right! Scrooge is an international bandit who has a habit of shooting people in the right eye. Phantom Thief Kid fell into the sea and his fate is unknown because he was shot in the right eye by him.”

After listening to Conan's explanation, Inspector Megure remembered the victim, Ryu Saikawa.

He died from being shot in the right eye.

but…

Inspector Megure looked down at Conan: "Conan, how did you find out about this 'Scooter Soldier'?"

"This, I..."

Before Conan could answer, Officer Shiratori answered for him, "It must have been Professor Agasa who told him."

As soon as Officer Shiratori uttered those words, Conan immediately bristled.

He immediately looked up at Officer Shiratori.

Officer Shiratori was also looking at him with a smile.

Conan felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the strange look in Officer Shiratori's eyes.

"Could that gaze I just felt have been from Officer Shiratori?"

"Speaking of which, that fortune slip we drew at the temple..."

After hearing what Officer Shiratori said, Inspector Megure nodded.

If it was said by Dr. Agasa, then it should be highly credible.

Professor Agasa is also very intelligent, and he has recently helped them solve many cases.

At this moment, Uncle Mori finally couldn't hold back any longer. He leaned down and grabbed Conan's collar: "Kid, putting aside the 'Scarf' thing, why did you say that Mr. Nishino isn't the culprit?"

Chapter 121 Don't ask, the answer is Balushen Nikukadame.

Looking at Uncle Mori's face so close to his own, Conan twitched his lips: "Because Mr. Hanakawa's room is full of feathers from his pillows."

"People with feather allergies would absolutely never tear a pillow filled with feathers!"

After hearing Conan's words, everyone looked at Naoto Nishino.

Uncle Mori went straight to the point and asked, "Tell me, do you really have a feather allergy?"

Before Nishino Naoto could speak, Chairman Suzuki, who was sitting upright on the sofa, said, "That's right, I can vouch for him on that point."

"He will sneeze incessantly if he touches even the slightest feather."

Seeing that Chairman Suzuki had already vouched for him, Inspector Megure leaned on his hand, looking troubled.

If Mr. Nishino is not the culprit, then who is the real culprit?

Why was the ring in Mr. Nishino's room?

What about Shi Kaobing?

Has he escaped from the ship?

These questions lingered in his mind, leaving him completely baffled.

Moreover, I always felt that he had forgotten something important…

After a moment's thought, Inspector Megure's eyes widened, and he roared, "Where is that lady named Urashi Seiran?! Where is she now?"

"She hasn't appeared for so long, could it be that she was also attacked by that 'Scholesman'!?"

"Takagi, Shiratori, you two go find her right now!!!"

Upon hearing Inspector Megure's words, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Yes!

Pu Siqinglan has been out of their sight for a long time!

Could it be that she also fell victim to that international thief?

With that thought in mind, everyone immediately prepared to rush to Pu Siqinglan's room.

Seeing the expressions of fear and worry on everyone's faces, Longye slowly raised a hand and said apologetically, "Um... I forgot to mention earlier. Actually, Ms. Pusi Qinglan was attacked by me."

Everyone: "???"

Seeing everyone's reaction, Longye scratched his head and gave a friendly smile: "That doesn't seem quite right. It should be that she attacked me first, and then I attacked... subdued her?"

Everyone: "???????"

……

Soon after, the group followed Longye to his room.

Looking at the bound and gagged Urashi Seiran on the ground, Inspector Megure and the others were at a loss for words.

This eerie silence lasted for a while.

The next moment, Conan spoke first: "Look, there's a gun on the bed!"

Inspector Megure and the others then noticed the handgun on the bed.
