Science: The Little Shota of the Maori Family

Maori Kogoro said, "I noticed the moment I walked into this room. The layout here is symmetrical with the next room. On the surface, it looks like a reflection in a mirror, but in fact, it's empty. It looks exactly like the next room, so there's no corpse."

"¨' But to mimic the look in the mirror, you'd have to take notes with your left hand. Even if you tried to imitate the notes, it would be difficult to do so with your non-dominant hand, so you didn't write a single word. Next, you used something like fishing line to draw the curtains in the next room, replaced the mirror, and exited through the other door. As long as your alibi holds true during the crime, suspicion won't fall on you."

"boss……"

Kogoro Mori's well-reasoned analysis finally shook Yoshiko Yoshii and Kenta Wakasugi. They looked at Susumu Samejima, hoping to hear his denial from him.

Unfortunately, reality still disappointed them (Zhao Le Zhao). Samejima Susumu sighed lightly and said, "Mr. Maori, you are right. I planned all of this. I lied that I had received a warning letter from Kaito Kid and called Kamei over. After you left the room, I smashed him to death with a dumbbell..."

"But, boss, why are you doing this? Why?" asked Yoshiko Shii in confusion.

Samejima Jin glanced at the gold medal in the distance: "Because of that gold medal and some past events, I was blackmailed by him more than once or twice. I have reached the limit of my patience, so... Wo..."

"Okay, let's talk about the rest when we get to the police station." Officer Megure sighed, and at his eye signal, Officer Takagi took out handcuffs, handcuffed Samejima Shin, and took him out of the room.

Xiaolan looked at his back and couldn't help asking, "Dad, he just said it was because of the gold medal. Could it be that..."

423. Ghost Ship

Maori Kogoro speculated, "I think he must have taken stimulants or some banned drug during the competition, and Kamei got the news from somewhere and came to threaten him with exposing it to the public. This gold medal no longer represents honor, but has become a symbol of Samejima's sins. That's why he pretended that it was stolen by Kaito Kid, intending to erase Kamei and the gold medal from this world."

Yoshiko Shioi and Kenta Wakasugi sighed, feeling sorry for the boss they once admired and were proud of.

……

A few days later.

Port of Tokyo.

Looking at the huge ship in front of her, Xiaolan's eyes lit up and shone brightly: "Wow, what a luxurious cruise ship."

Watanabe Toru dragged his own small suitcase and said with a smile: "Thanks to Xiaolan, we can take a luxury cruise to Okinawa for free, right, uncle."

Maori Kogoro withdrew his gaze from the cruise ship and sighed: "It's a pity that only the cruise ship is free."

Xiaolan knew exactly what her father meant. She glared at him and said, "The cruise has saved us a lot of money. Okay, let's get on board. I can't wait to see the environment inside."

As the three approached the cruise ship, a crew member came up to them and asked, "Are you the guests here to take the Kebal Tomarin?"

"Yes." Xiaolan nodded politely.

"Welcome aboard." The crew member extended his hand. "Excuse me, could you please show me your ticket?"

Maori Kogoro stepped forward and said, "I have the tickets, three in total."

He took the ticket out of his pocket and handed it to the crew member.

After checking, the crew member made a gesture of invitation: "Please come on board, everyone. Have a pleasant journey."

"Thank you."

The three of them boarded the cruise ship, and Xiaolan sighed again: "It's really huge. If you stay on the ship alone, you will probably get lost, right, Xiao Che?"

Watanabe Toru hummed twice perfunctorily, looked around, and said, "But Sister Xiaolan, this ship is so dirty, in tatters, and covered in rust."

After being told this by Watanabe Toru, Xiaolan also noticed it and whispered, "Indeed, it doesn't look like a Huahao Cruise."

"That's because this ship was converted from a freighter." The crew member following them heard Xiaolan's muttering and explained, "Also, this ship is on its last voyage and will soon be retired. After that, it will become a pile of scrap metal."

"what?"

Toru Watanabe and Xiaolan were stunned. They had thought they could enjoy themselves on the luxury cruise ship, but the reality was completely different from what they had imagined.

But now that things have come to this, I can only make do with it and take the ride.

……

At night, after dinner, several people came to the restaurant on the ship. Seeing the rich dinner, Maori Kogoro's eyes lit up and said, "I didn't expect that this ship is so shabby, but the dinner is still very good."

"But there don't seem to be many passengers." Xiaolan looked around: "Including us, there seem to be only seven people."

As soon as she finished speaking, two male passengers came over and chatted with Xiaolan: "What a beautiful girl, do you want to have a drink with me?"

"This one……"

Before Xiaolan could respond, Maori Kogoro put his hands on the shoulders of the two male passengers and said in a rude manner: "Hey, you two, what do you want to do to my daughter?"

Seeing Kogoro Mouri's vicious expression, the two male passengers were frightened.

One of them said, "So you came here with Dad. Never mind, let's go."

Having said that, he left in a hurry and turned his attention to another cold and beautiful woman in the corner of the restaurant.

"Oh my god, I actually met this kind of person in a place like this." Just as Kogoro Mouri was still angry, the sound of a shutter caught his attention.

He looked at the man taking pictures of him and said with some dissatisfaction: "Hey, what are you doing?"

"I'm sorry, Father," the man introduced himself. "I'm a reporter for Haiyu Travel Magazine."

He took out a magazine and handed it to Maori Kogoro. "I heard that this ship is going to sail for the last time. It's a pity for a ship that is full of legends. There are ghosts appearing on it, and it can drive automatically even though there is no one on it. Moreover, there are strange letters that predict the arrival of the ship. It seems that we can get some interesting news."

“It turns out he’s a reporter.”

Maori Kogoro snorted.

"Dear passengers aboard." At this time, the crew walked into the dining room and stood in a row. One of them addressed the guests, saying, "Thank you all for coming aboard our ship. I sincerely thank you all and hope you will have a pleasant journey. Now, let me introduce our captain, Captain Ying Shou."

A drunk captain came out with a bottle of wine in his hand. Judging from the redness of his face, he had drunk quite a bit of alcohol.

"I'm Captain Yingshou," Yingshou Gozo said. "Although some of you may already know me, I have some news to share. Just today, someone delivered an interesting letter."

He took out a letter from his bosom and read the contents: "The voyage of death has begun. There is no turning back. Disappear one by one - Ghost Captain."

There was a moment of silence among the crowd.

Captain Yingshou continued, "I know very well that the criminal is among these people. Every one of my subordinates is despicable, especially Prince Ruo. He's as despicable as a demon and the most suspicious. I'm almost going to retire because of him. I used to be an elite, but... I ended up on a shabby ship like this..."

Seeing that Captain Yingshou's emotions were getting out of control, the crew members quickly interrupted him and took him aside to prevent him from saying anything that would have a bad influence.

"I apologize for my poorly-worded remarks," a crew member stepped forward and said, "The captain was simply mourning his final mission. The letter was probably just a simple prank. Please trust the crew and enjoy a pleasant cruise."

"Is it really just a prank?"

Xiaolan couldn't help but move closer to Watanabe Toru and said, "Why do I have a bad feeling?"

Watanabe Toru comforted her, "Don't worry, Xiaolan. With uncle here, everything will be fine."

424、The Pressure of the Detective

midnight.

Toru Watanabe and Xiaolan were sleeping soundly in the same cabin when there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Xiao Che, it seems like someone is knocking on the door?" Xiao Lan was awakened and rubbed her eyes.

Watanabe Toru was also a little confused. Who would knock on the door so late at night? He jumped out of bed, turned on the light, opened the door, and saw Maori Kogoro standing outside with a weak face. He was surprised and said, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that it was her father outside the door, Xiaolan hurried over and asked, "Dad, why are you here?"

Maori Kogoro held his stomach and said weakly, "My stomach is a little uncomfortable. Do you have any medicine?"

"Dad, you must have eaten too much at dinner." Xiaolan scolded, "But, I don't think I brought any medicine."

Kogoro Mouri's face turned even paler.

At this moment, the crew member who was waiting for them under the ship happened to pass by. Seeing this scene, he came over curiously and asked, "Excuse me, what happened?"

"Ah, it's Mr. Mizusaki." Xiaolan explained, "My dad seems to have eaten too much and his stomach feels uncomfortable, and I forgot to bring my medicine."

"Is that so?" Misaki Joji thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go to my room first?"

"Will this... be too much trouble?"

"It's okay." Misaki Jōji put Maori Kogoro's hand on his shoulder and helped him walk out: "I have medicine in my room."

"Then, please."

Toru Watanabe and Xiaolan followed Misaki Joji to the crew's living area.

When passing by one of the rooms, the door suddenly opened and the flight attendant Katori Yoko came out. Seeing the people outside, she asked in surprise, "Mr. Zhang Er, what happened?"

Misaki Jōji said, "This gentleman has a stomachache. I'll take him to my room to take some medicine. By the way, Miss Yoko, do you have milk in your room? Could you heat it up and bring it to my room?"

"Huh? Okay." Katori Yoko didn't ask any more questions and went back to the room.

Misaki Joji said, "It's said that drinking a belly full of hot milk can relieve stomachaches."

"Thank you." Xiaolan said gratefully.

……

After drinking the hot milk, Maori Kogoro really felt much better. Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief and joked, "By the way, how did Mr. Mizusaki know that there was milk in Miss Yoko's room? Could it be you two?"

Misaki Joji and Katori Yoko's faces turned red instantly.

Katori Yoko looked at Misaki Joji and said, "Mr. Joji, are you trying to hide something again?"

"No, I don't want to hide it either." Misaki Jōji scratched his head embarrassedly.

Katori Yoko laughed and said, "But with Mr. Joji's handsome looks, it's a pity that he's with me."

"That's not true." Misaki said quickly, "Yoko, you are..."

"I was kidding."

"You two are such a perfect match." Xiaolan said with a smile, "How enviable."

"What are you doing here?"

At this moment, a stern voice sounded outside.

Several people looked outside and saw the navigator Ruo Wangzi Ganyan standing at the door, frowning at them.

"Prince Ruo, Ruo is a first-class navigator." Misaki Jōji's expression changed slightly.

Prince Ruo said in a bad tone: "What's the matter with taking passengers to your room?"

"This one……"

Seeing that Mizusaki was about to be blamed, Xiaolan quickly explained: "Because my father is not feeling well, I have to trouble Mr. Mizusaki."

However, Xiaolan's words did not gain the understanding of Prince Ruo. He said coldly: "This floor is for crew members only. Passengers are not allowed to enter. So, please go back."

"Tsk." Seeing Wakaoji's dry attitude, Maori Kogoro snorted and stood up and said, "Xiaolan, Xiaotetsu, let's go."

"Yeah, okay." Xiaolan nodded.

……

It's early morning.

A voice was broadcast in the cabin: "Let me now explain to all passengers that breakfast is ready in the restaurant..."

"Sister Xiaolan, it's time to have breakfast."

Watanabe Toru yawned and said to Xiaolan.

Xiaolan stretched, hummed, and asked, "Xiao Che, did you sleep well?"

"It's okay, just not as comfortable as at home."

The two of them washed up and left the room. After calling Kogoro Mouri from next door, the three of them prepared to have breakfast.

0 ···Request flowers·· ··

On the deck, I saw the crew running back and forth.

"It seems like something happened." Xiaolan said.

Maori Kogoro frowned and said, "Let's go and take a look."

The group arrived at the crew's living quarters and saw Misaki Joji and Wakaoji Kanyan knocking on the door. They shouted, "Captain Yingshou, are you in there? Captain Yingshou?"

"Has something happened to the captain?" Kogoro Mouri stepped forward and asked.

Misaki Joji explained, "We haven't seen Captain Takamori since a while ago. We've searched the entire ship, but the captain's room is the only one we haven't entered."

"Could something have happened inside?" Maori Kogoro said, "Why not use the supervisor's key to open it and see."

...... ..... ...

Prince Ruo snorted coldly: "This is not a big deal, please go back."

This was the second time Waka Oji Ganyan had said "Please go back" to Maori Kogoro. Maori Kogoro's face showed some anger, and he said, "If something happens to Captain Takamori in there, everyone on this ship will be held responsible. I've seen this happen many times."
