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

With a loud explosion, the lights in the banquet hall flickered on and off, and the crowd began to riot.

Kitagawa Taki stood in front of the women, like a shield, pushing aside the crowd that was pushing forward.

Hiroshige Kusaka took this opportunity to escape the scene.

Conan chased after him without hesitation, taking full advantage of his small size. Just as he was about to break through the crowd, he felt his foot slip and fell forward, landing face-first in the mud.

Not only him, but several people standing next to him also fell down.

This was no accident, as Kitagawa Taki tugged at the carpet under Conan's feet.

He certainly didn't want Conan to catch up with Hiroshige Kusaka so easily.

……

Upon seeing this, Hai Tengdu left the stage and walked outside.

As the captain, he now has to take charge of the overall situation.

As soon as he reached the cockpit passage, he felt something strange in his waist.

When he turned around, he saw that it was Minami Akiyoshi holding a pistol to his back.

Haiteng Du forced a smile: "Minamiko, what are you doing?"

Minamiko Akiyoshi's expression was icy: "I am Okita's daughter, whom you murdered. Now go to hell and repent!"

Hai Tengdu's eyes widened, and he pleaded repeatedly, "No! No! I was forced by the president and the others!"

But Minako Akiyoshi pulled the trigger without hesitation.

One shot to the arm!

One shot to the thigh!

Three shots!

The last shot hit Hai Tengdu in the mouth.

She wouldn't let Hai Tengdu die too easily! She wanted him to die in pain and despair!

After firing the shot, Minako Akiyoshi immediately detonated the bomb she had planted and returned to the banquet hall, blending into the crowd.

Hai Tengdu lay on the ground, blood gushing from his hands and legs. He was in excruciating pain, his mouth full of blood, unable to even call for help.

Moreover, this was the cockpit passageway, so he could only pray that a crew member would pass by or come looking for him, the captain.

But the crew doesn't have time to look for him right now.

Cockpit.

"First mate, there are several large holes in the hull now, and seawater has already flowed from Zone 3 to Zone 4!"

"First mate, order the ship abandoned immediately!"

The first mate hesitated, "But the captain isn't here..."

According to regulations, the order to abandon ship can only be issued by the captain.

"It's too late! Some time has passed since the first explosion, and the captain still hasn't returned. Something must have happened! There are still over six hundred passengers on board, and the first mate!!"

The first mate gritted his teeth and gave the order:

"Abandon ship!"

Chapter 336 What do you think?

"Passengers, this is First Class Navigator Izzy. Please put on your life jackets and assemble on the first deck! I'll repeat that again..."

The order to abandon ship and the emergency bells rang throughout the entire ship.

The first mate said to several crew members, "Go and guide the passengers to evacuate!"

"Yes!"

The group responded and ran out of the cockpit.

When they arrived at the entrance to the cockpit passage, the horrific scene on the ground startled them.

Hai Tengdu, dressed in a white uniform, lay motionless in a large pool of blood.

"captain!"

……

Banquet hall.

Kitagawa Taki and the returning Akiyoshi Minami exchanged a glance, and Akiyoshi Minami nodded slightly.

Then, we heard the evacuation announcement.

"Let's go!" Kitagawa Taki said to the group.

"But Conan..." Ran was a little worried about Conan who had chased after her.

Kitagawa Taki said, "Inspector Megure and the others have caught up with him too, Conan will be fine."

Sonoko chimed in, "That's right, let's go!"

Xiaolan nodded.

The group returned to the passenger cabin area and bumped into Kogoro Mouri.

Kogoro Mouri pretended to go to the toilet, but actually went to Minami Akiyoshi's room, but he didn't find anything.

……

dock.

"Conan, where's Hirose Kusaka?"

Inspector Megure and his men, who had been following behind, finally caught up.

Conan looked grim because he had taken a big fall. When he chased after Hiroshige out of the banquet hall, Hiroshige was nowhere to be seen.

He came here based on his own reasoning.

Shiratori Ninzaburo glanced at the speedboat next to him, now missing one: "He must have used a speedboat to escape."

Takagi Wataru said, "Inspector, let's retreat first!"

They heard the announcement to abandon ship on the way.

Inspector Megure nodded. At this point, the only option was to issue an arrest warrant for Hiroshige Kusaka after a safe evacuation.

……

the other side.

Kitagawa Taki and his group have successfully boarded the lifeboat.

Minako Akiyoshi was also in the same lifeboat.

Seeing that Kogoro Mouri was staring at her, Minako Akiyoshi asked with a smile, "Mr. Mouri, what's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Kogoro Mouri scratched his head and gave an awkward smile.

He had already learned from Xiaolan what had happened in the banquet hall.

Seeing that Akikichi Minamiko boarded the lifeboat instead of staying on the ship to deal with Kaito, he wondered if he was being paranoid.

Could the murderer be Hiroshige Kusaka?

Ran tugged at Kogoro Mouri's clothes, mistakenly thinking that Kogoro Mouri's old problem had flared up again.

"I never imagined that such a large ship would be gone just like that."

Akemi Miyano sighed as she watched the Aphrodite recede into the distance.

Kogoro Mouri spoke up, "The one who must be most heartbroken is Ms. Akiyoshi, right?"

Minako Akiyoshi didn't speak, but turned to look at the Aphrodite with a complicated expression.

Just like its name suggests, the goddess Aphrodite was born from bubbles and was destined to return to bubbles.

……

The police only learned of Hai Tengdu's death after everyone had been rescued.

Shiratori Ninzaburo quickly examined the body brought by the crew member. "Inspector, he likely died from excessive blood loss!"

Conan stared at Haitengdu's corpse, his face ashen.

He thought Hiroshige had escaped directly from the dock, and even went to kill Haitengdu?

Inspector Megure asked the crew, "Where did you find the captain?"

The crew member replied, "When we found Captain Hyten at the entrance to the bridge passage, he was already not breathing."

Conan narrowed his eyes. The cockpit wasn't far from the dock, so there was enough time.

With such a major incident on the ship, Hai Tengdu, as the captain, would definitely have to return to the bridge. Kusaka Hiroshige must have grasped this point and arrived at the passageway entrance ahead of time.

Damn it! He miscalculated this time. He thought Hiroshige was running so fast because he was trying to escape.

Inspector Megure said in a deep voice, "I never expected that Hirosuke Kusaka would be so cunning, daring to kill someone under those circumstances!"

At that moment, Takagi Wataru jogged over and reported, "Inspector, we just received a call from the Maritime Safety Agency. They've confirmed that the body they found is Yatsushiro Entarō, and there's a fruit knife stuck in his back!"

"A fruit knife?" Inspector Megure rubbed his chin.

Kogoro Mori interjected, "Once we capture Hirose Kusaka, the truth will be revealed!"

He still hadn't completely let go of his doubts. Just as he said, once Hiroshige was captured, everything would naturally become clear.

Kitagawa Taki had also thought of this. Once Hirosuke Kusaka was captured, as long as his testimony was verified, things would get out of control.

Therefore, the only option is to ask him to die.

……
