Solving cases with Detective Conan's science? No, I'm a cultivator!

"Kanchuan, Mr. Kanchuan is dead!" Nishino Masato shouted with all his might.

"what?"

Kogoro Mouri was taken aback and rushed to Ryuu Sakkawa's room.

Han Chuanlong was lying on the bed with a large pool of blood around his head, clearly dead beyond any doubt.

Kogoro Mouri stepped forward to examine the body. "The body is already stiff and has lividity. It seems that Mr. Kanakawa died last night."

At this point, the others arrived one after another.

Conan rushed into the room and immediately saw the wound in Ryuu's right eye.

This reminded him of the monocle that Kaito Kid had cracked.

I'm afraid this was done by the same person!

Conan was having a brainstorming session when Kogoro Mouri grabbed him by the collar and threw him away.

"Tch!" Conan rubbed his butt.

Kogoro Mouri looked at Ran and said, "Ran, call the police!"

"Yes."

Xiaolan was an experienced caller and quickly explained what had happened at the scene to the police.

Seeing that Ran had hung up the phone, Kogoro Mouri said, "Let's all go to the lobby and wait for the police!"

After waiting for about an hour, the police finally landed on the cruise ship in a police helicopter.

It was Inspector Megure, an old acquaintance, who came.

Because the helicopter can only carry a limited number of people, he only brought Takagi Wataru, two other police officers, and two forensic scientists with him this time.

Inspector Megure never expected to run into Kogoro Mouri during a case that occurred on a cruise ship at sea, and he remarked:

"I'm really fed up, Mori-kun. Why is it that wherever you are, there's always a case happening?!"

Kogoro Mouri chuckled awkwardly, "I suppose this is God's will!"

"That must be Death."

As Takagi Wataru passed by Kogoro Mouri, he whispered something.

Kogoro Mouri was speechless for a moment, but when he saw Wataru Takagi's forehead, he couldn't help but ask, "What happened to your head?"

Takagi Wataru hurriedly explained, "It's nothing, I just got into a fight with a prisoner yesterday."

Kitagawa Taki narrowed his eyes and released his divine sense to investigate.

It really was that brat Kaito Kuroba!

Perhaps the wound on his forehead was from being shot by Pu Siqinglan?

"Detective Mouri, I'll go in first," said Wataru Takagi, not wanting to discuss the matter further.

Kogoro Mouri didn't take it to heart and quickly put it out of his mind.

……

Hanchuanlong's room.

After investigation and evidence collection by the police, as well as the accounts of those present, it was confirmed that Han Chuanlong's ring and camera had both disappeared!

"Inspector, without a doubt, this is a robbery and murder case!" Kogoro Mouri concluded. "The culprit is after the ring belonging to Maria, the third daughter of Nicola III!"

Wataru Takagi posed the crucial question: "What about the camera?"

"Uh..." Kogoro Mouri was instantly at a loss.

Seeing that Kogoro Mouri couldn't answer, Inspector Megure looked at Taki Kitagawa, who was slacking off in the back: "Brother Kitagawa, what do you think?"

Chapter 130 Demonic Monk

Kitagawa Taki glanced at the calm-looking Urako Seiran and said, "I believe this was done by the same person who attacked Kaito Kid."

"Kaito Kid?" Inspector Megure never expected that this matter could be related to Kid.

It was Kogoro Mouri who stepped forward and told the police officers about Kaito Kid.

"I see." Inspector Megure nodded, then asked, "But why are you so certain, Kitagawa, that it was the same person who did it?"

Kitagawa Taki said, "They were all hit in the right eye, and there just happens to be one assassin who has a habit of hitting people in the right eye!"

Inspector Megure's lips twitched. "A killer?!"

"Code name 'Scoughing,' wanted by Interpol."

Hearing Kitagawa Taki keep mentioning her, Urako Seiran tensed up, worried that Kitagawa Taki might just sell her out like that.

Fortunately, Kitagawa Taki didn't continue, and Urashi Seiran breathed a sigh of relief.

Kitagawa Taki was paying close attention to Urako Seiran, finding it somewhat amusing. He was just trying to scare this unruly woman. Anyway, judging from Conan's expression, he had already noticed this commonality, and sooner or later he would be able to uncover this identity.

“Inspector, I’ve heard of this guy!” Takagi Wataru interjected. “Scochbing is an extremely accurate marksman, and he has a habit of specifically shooting for the right eye! He has committed numerous crimes around the world, all of which are related to the artifacts or treasures of the Romanov dynasty!”

"So it seems that it was indeed this Shi Kaobing who did it."

Inspector Megure couldn't help but feel a headache coming on; international assassins were not easy to deal with!

Just then, a policeman ran up and reported, "Inspector, we've discovered that one lifeboat is missing from the ship!"

After hearing this, Inspector Megure said, "I understand. He must have escaped in a lifeboat after killing the person."

Conan shook his head calmly. Only a few people who were present yesterday knew about the ring, and Scorpion was definitely among them!

The lifeboats were just a smokescreen.

His main suspects were Inui Shoichi, Siroofu, Urashi Seiran, and Nishino Masato.

As for the missing camera, it must have been taken because Hanchuan Long, who is fond of photography, filmed something.

Most of them have probably been thrown into the sea and are unlikely to be found again.

Seeing Conan deep in thought, Takagi Wataru deliberately asked, "Conan, what do you think?"

Conan didn't know why Officer Takagi would specifically ask him, so he could only reply in a child's voice, "I don't know anything!"

Takagi Wataru gave Conan a deep look, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Conan felt uneasy under Takagi's gaze, wondering if Officer Takagi had seen through something about him.

Takagi Wataru then looked at Inspector Megure and said, "Inspector, I think Scorpion is very likely to appear at the Kosaka family's villa. After all, his biggest target should be the Egg of Memories!"

"After we arrive in Yokosuka tomorrow, I'd like to go to the castle as well. Is that alright?"

Inspector Megure pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright, let's do it this way!"

……

morning.

Led by Natsumi Kosaka, the group finally arrived at the ancient castle located on the mountaintop.

The castle is built of stone bricks, and it must have taken a lot of effort to build it on this hilltop.

"What a beautiful castle!" Xiaolan exclaimed upon seeing it.

Looking at the uniquely designed castle, Ai Haibara said, "It looks a lot like Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany."

Natsumi Kosaka said with a smile, "That's right, my great-grandfather used that castle as a model for the building."

"Please come in, everyone!" Natsumi Kosaka and the butler pushed open the castle gates.

Natsumi Kosaka first led everyone on a tour of several important rooms in the castle, including the knights' quarters where Western armor was stored and the ladies' quarters for rest, among others.

Conan couldn't hold back any longer. At this rate, how would they find any clues about the Egg of Memories? He looked at the butler and asked, "Does the castle have a basement?"

The butler shook his head and said, "No."

Conan pressed further, "Is there a room for Kosaka's great-grandfather on the first floor?"

"There is an office, though."

Afterwards, everyone followed the butler to the office on the first floor.

The butler explained, "Here are photos of the master, as well as some photographic works."

Inside, several large bookshelves were filled with books, and the walls were covered with photos.

The group then began to browse the room.

Suddenly, Inui pointed at a photograph and shouted, "That man is Rasputin!"

The photo shows a bearded man sitting in a chair, with another man standing beside him. The photo also includes Rasputin's signature.

Upon hearing the name Rasputin, Kitagawa Taki also became interested.

Rasputin is as famous as Lao Ai, the "Wheel King" of China. He is said to be 28.5cm long, which is simply unbelievable!

The photo doesn't look unusual at all.

"Dad, who is Rasputin?" Little Lan clearly hadn't heard of the name.

Kogoro Mouri only knew this much, but couldn't explain why. "Well, it's said that he was a sinner in history."

Qian Jiang spoke eloquently: "Rasputin was known as the 'evil monk,' a culprit who caused the downfall of the Romanov dynasty. He once seized power but was later assassinated by a conspirator. When his body was found in the river, his skull was deeply sunken and one of his eyes had been gouged out."

Unbeknownst to him, a pair of eyes were watching him intently from behind.

Takagi Wataru interjected, "Mr. Inui, finding the Egg of Memories is more important right now!"

Kogoro Mouri said, "That's true, but where are we supposed to find a castle this big?"

"No need to look anymore, it's right here."

Kitagawa Taki paced back and forth on the ground, and then said.

Everyone's attention was drawn to his words, especially Qian Jiangyi, Pu Siqinglan, and the other two.

"here?"

"That's right, there's a basement down here."

As he spoke, Kitagawa Taki walked to the wall, pulled back a wooden panel, and revealed the machine inside.
