Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

Seeing Minako Akiyoshi's expression, Conan frowned as well, thinking to himself, "Judging from Ms. Akiyoshi's reaction, it seems that Takeda was right! But... how did he guess that?"

Inspector Megure and the others looked at Tatsuno and Akiyoshi Minami in front of them with complete bewilderment, not knowing what to say.

A few seconds later, amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, Ryuno slowly approached Akikichi Minamiko, extending his hand and smiling, "Ms. Akikichi, the police actually defused the bomb on the ship a long time ago. Don't be so tense. Give me that useless little toy box you're holding~"

Mumu Police Department: "???"

What? Defusing a bomb?

How come I didn't know we had already defused the bomb?!

Not only Inspector Megure, but also Officers Takagi and Shiratori were mentally ranting about it.

However, at this moment, all three of them tacitly looked straight ahead, their expressions unchanged.

They guessed that Tatsuno said this because he wanted Ms. Akikichi to give up the idea of ​​detonating the bomb and hand over the bomb controller in her hand.

This is undoubtedly an extremely audacious "psychological war"!

Thinking of this, the three of them held their breath, afraid that they might show any expression and be noticed by Miss Akiyoshi.

……

"With the famous detective Uncle Mori and Inspector Megure there, the truth about the shipwreck fifteen years ago will definitely come to light. Miss Akiyoshi's father... that Captain Okita will also be exonerated because of this." Tatsuno looked earnestly into Akiyoshi Minako's eyes, his expression serious.

Minami Akiyoshi: "..."

Miss Akiyoshi looked at Tatsuno, who was standing in front of her with a serious expression, closed her eyes, and sighed.

The next second, she slowly handed the controller in her hand to Longye. Just then, her expression suddenly froze.

She seemed to understand something immediately, then sighed and smiled helplessly, "You're right, Captain Okita is indeed my father. You've seen through everything. In that case, I have no choice but to surrender."

After taking the controller, Longye smiled and said, "Miss Qiuji, please rest assured. After tonight, the truth about the 'shipwreck incident' fifteen years ago will be widely known. Your father's injustice will also be completely cleared..."

Minako Akiyoshi didn't answer, but stared at Tatsuno in front of her and smiled helplessly.

Seeing that Tatsuno had successfully obtained the bomb controller, Inspector Megure and his team immediately went up to Ms. Akiyoshi and prepared to handcuff her.

The passengers in the restaurant were all delighted to see that the matter had finally come to an end.

With Ms. Minako Akiyoshi's "arrest," everything seemed to have come to an end.

Ran, Sonoko, and the others gathered around Ryuno. Seeing that Ryuno was alright, they started chattering and asking about what had happened.

Chapter 305 Switches must be installed on important items.

Shortly after, Officer Takagi and Officer Shiratori took Minako Akiyoshi away from the restaurant.

As instructed by Inspector Megure, they planned to first ask him about the location of the bomb.

After dealing with the bomb, they questioned Minako Akiyoshi in detail about the crime.

After Officer Takagi and Officer Shiratori left, Inspector Megure came up to Ryuno and patted him on the shoulder several times.

"Brother Longye, we really owe you a debt of gratitude this time! If it weren't for you, Miss Qiuji might have actually detonated the bomb! But please don't use this method again next time, it's just too dangerous! What if she wasn't fooled by you and actually pressed the detonation button?"

Upon hearing this, Longye chuckled softly, saying meaningfully, "Miss Qiuji wasn't fooled~"

After saying that, Longye led Xiaolan and the others to a table not far away: "You must be hungry after watching the show for so long, right? Let's fill our stomachs first!"

Upon hearing this, Sonoko, Mitsuhiko, and the other two immediately raised their hands and cheered.

Conan and Ai Haibara looked at Tatsuno thoughtfully, as if they had guessed something.

……

Shortly after

Inside the conference room of the cruise ship.

After hearing Officer Takagi's report, Inspector Megure's brows furrowed instantly: "What?! You're saying those bombs all had control switches, and that they were all turned off beforehand?!"

Officer Takagi nodded: "The bomb's structure is not complicated. With the switch turned off, the bomb cannot be detonated. I have already contacted the bomb disposal team, and they will be here shortly!"

"Is that so..." Inspector Megure adjusted his hat, recalling what Tatsuno had said not long ago.

No wonder Ryūno said that before...

It turns out he really had found the bombs on the ship and disposed of them in advance!

This kid is getting better and better...

No, that's not right. He seemed to have been very good before!

It's such a shame, if only he enjoyed solving cases like Kudo and Mori...

Ugh……

Seeing Inspector Megure sigh with regret, Officer Takagi blinked in confusion.

Shouldn't you feel happy and relaxed knowing the bomb is safe?

Why does Inspector Megure seem a little disappointed?

……

same moment

Inside the restaurant.

Since tonight's event is a "cocktail party," the focus is not on the food.

Compared to last night's "delicious feast," tonight's food seems extremely simple.

Besides various roasted meats, roasted vegetables, and potatoes, there were also some small cakes, puddings, and other desserts.

Since none of the Longyes could drink alcohol, they left the restaurant after filling their stomachs and went back to their rooms to rest.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that many guests kept coming to talk to Longye and his friends.

All the guests present witnessed Longye's previous display of "divine might in battle".

Therefore, whether it was out of gratitude or for something else, people kept coming to "talk" to Longye and the people around him.

Longye and his companions clearly didn't like this kind of "social situation where you have to smile all the time," so they quickly found an excuse to leave.

Before leaving, Sonoko called Ran aside and whispered something to her.

Then, Ran said goodbye to Ryūno and left with Sonoko.

Mitsuhiko and his two companions then dragged Ai Haibara and Professor Agasa to the card room, seemingly preparing to have a "playing card" showdown before bed.

Conan then called Tatsuno onto the deck.

"What's wrong, Kudo? Bringing me to the deck at this hour, you're not planning to... Hiss! No way! You... you don't mean..."

Seeing the exaggerated expression on Ryuno's face and the few steps he took back, Conan immediately understood what Ryuno meant.

He immediately shouted, "How is that possible?! Takeda, you bastard! %#￥&"

After a moment, Conan calmed himself down, looked up at the moon, and asked, "Takeda, what did you mean when you said that Miss Akiyoshi wasn't deceived?"

"It means exactly what it says. She wasn't tricked into handing over the controller at all." Longye shrugged.

"What? Could it be her?!" Conan looked at Ryuno in surprise.

Longye smiled and nodded: "Yeah, you probably didn't see it. Before handing me the controller, she pressed a button. I guess she probably wanted to take advantage of the chaos of the explosion to kill Captain Haiteng."

"Think about it carefully and you'll understand. How could someone who killed three people without hesitation to avenge his father possibly give up on revenge because of my 'reasoning'?"

"Just as she said, she never intended to harm us 'guests'; her targets were always those few people. According to her original plan, she should have 'disappeared' with the ship after successfully taking revenge."

"How could someone like that possibly give up on revenge because of my 'joking'?"

Conan: "..."

After a moment of silence, Conan looked at Ryuno with a serious expression: "So, you really did find a way to dispose of the bomb, and nothing happened when she pressed the button. That's why she 'surrendered,' right?"

Longye looked at the sea before him and nodded.

"Then how did you..."

Before Conan could finish his question, Tatsuno immediately interjected, "Hawaii! That's where I learned how to find and handle bombs!"

"It's not as complicated as you think. There's a switch on the bomb; you just need to turn it off."

"You know, 'bomb beginners' always put a silly switch on their bombs~"

Conan: "??????"

After saying that, Ryuno ignored Conan, patted Conan on the head, and returned to the cabin.

Before entering the cabin, Longye waved his hand behind him and said casually, "The sea breeze is quite strong tonight, kids should hurry back to their rooms."

Conan turned around and glanced at Ryuno's back, then turned and walked to the railing, leaned against it, and sighed.

His reasoning was first defeated by Uncle Mori, and then by Tatsuno.

For a moment, he felt a mix of emotions.

"That Takeda guy... right, during the incident with Ms. Urakawa, he seemed to have hinted to me that Uncle Mori was actually quite formidable. Could it be true?!"

……

Shortly after, Longye prepared to return to his room.

Just as he was about to reach the room door, Xiao Lan, who had been waiting there, suddenly pulled him to the bow deck.

At this moment, there was a table and three chairs on the bow deck.

"Ryuno, look what this is!" Upon seeing Ryuno, Sonoko immediately pointed to the table and exclaimed excitedly.

"Champagne? Red wine? You two just went to get these drinks?" Longye smiled helplessly.

"That's right! We haven't had a drink in ages, have we? It's okay to have a little while we're on vacation, right?"

At this point, Sonoko looked at Ran beside her: "Ran agreed too! Right, Ran~"

Upon hearing this, Xiaolan smiled and nodded.

"Alright then~" Longye laughed.

"Great! I've been wanting to sit on a boat for ages, enjoying a good drink with you two under the moonlight and sea breeze!"

"..."

Chapter 306 People subconsciously compare themselves to those around them.
