Science: The Little Shota of the Maori Family

Watanabe Toru reminded: "Uncle, will Mr. Mizusaki still be on duty?"

Maori Kogoro's eyes lit up. He checked the time, then compared it with the duty list on the wall and said, "According to the duty list, Mizusaki should be in the steering room at this time."

Several people hurried to the steering room, pushed the door open and saw someone lying on the ground.

Kogoro Mori sighed, his last glimmer of hope completely shattered.

He walked to the front of the corpse and squatted down, but was suddenly stunned and said in surprise: "Huh? This is not Mr. Mizusaki."

"what?"

Even Watanabe Toru was stunned for a moment.

"It's Mr. Kane, the navigator." Maori Kogoro was puzzled: "Did Prince Ruo mistake them for each other? How is this possible... What on earth is going on?"

Watanabe Toru stepped forward and looked at the steering wheel, and suddenly said, "Uncle, look here, is there something stuck on it?"

Upon hearing this, Maori Kogoro stood up, took a closer look, and gasped: "It's a poison needle, could it be..."

He grabbed Garner's hand again, and sure enough, he saw a tiny pinhole on his palm.

"What on earth is going on?" Maori Kogoro muttered to himself, "Why was Mr. Kana killed while Mr. Mizusaki was on duty? Was he taking the blame for someone else?"

"What happened?" At this moment, Misaki Jōji hurried in.

427. Survive from desperate situation?

Seeing Mizusaki Joji come in, Maori Kogoro asked, "Mr. Mizusaki, where have you been?"

Misaki Jōji stammered, "I...I..."

In the end, he still didn't explain where he was, but just pointed at the body on the ground and said, "Mr. Garner, is he really dead?"

"That's right." Maori Kogoro nodded: "The murderer's target was actually you, but he killed Mr. Garner by accident."

"How could this happen..." Misaki Jōji was in disbelief. Suddenly, he remembered something and hurried to the instrument, shouting, "Oh no! The direction of the route is wrong. We have to stop the ship as soon as possible..."

To make matters worse, Xiaolan ran in at this moment and said in panic, "Dad, it's bad. Miss Shiyuan is going to jump into the sea."

"What!!"

Maori Kogoro turned around in disbelief and asked, "Why would Miss Tokihara commit suicide for no reason?"

"Well... Anyway, Dad, go take a look."

Human lives were at stake, so the few people had to temporarily give up the idea of ​​deviating from the route, and came out of the wheelhouse and onto the deck.

Just as Xiaolan said, Chie Tokihara was standing outside the ship's railing with a calm look on her face.

"Miss Tokihara, you must calm down." Maori Kogoro stepped forward and advised: "If there is anything, we can discuss it properly. Did those two guys tease you again?"

He pointed at the two young men standing beside him.

Upon hearing this, the young man waved his hands quickly: "This, this is none of our business..."

Maori Kogoro frowned and was about to speak when Tokihara Chie said softly, "Give my regards to Captain Ghost."

After saying that, he jumped into the sea without hesitation.

Kogoro Mouri hurried over, grabbed the railing of the boat and looked down. On the dark sea, Chie Tokihara looked particularly small.

"hateful……"

At this moment, a lifebuoy was thrown into the sea, and then a figure jumped down.

"Joji...々"..." Katori Yoko's expression changed.

"Mr. Mizusaki..."

No one else expected that Mizusaki Joji would jump into the sea to save people without hesitation.

Everyone's heartstrings were tense, until Misaki Joji picked up Chie Tokihara, and everyone on the boat breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hurry up and get the rope." Kogoro Mouri shouted.

Finally, Chie Tokihara was rescued.

Xiaolan patted her chest thankfully and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great, Miss Tokihara, but please don't do anything stupid again. Mr. Mizusaki worked so hard to rescue you."

Chie Tokihara glanced at Misaki Joji who was drying his hair and couldn't help crying.

"I think we should send Miss Tokihara back to her room to calm down first," said Kogoro Mouri.

Xiaolan nodded: "Then I will accompany Miss Shiyuan back."

As soon as the two left, reporter Yoshikazu Akai took pictures of their backs.

Maori Kogoro finally couldn't stand it anymore, pushed him, and said angrily: "Enough, is it right for a journalist to invade other people's privacy like this?"

Akai Yoshikazu snorted, without a trace of guilt: "In our line of work, just taking close-ups is enough. Besides, if you think I only do this kind of scumbag work, you are totally wrong."

He took out a magazine, turned to an article, handed it to Maori Kogoro and said, "Look, this report was written by me."

Maori Kogoro took the magazine and read the title: "Unveiling the truth of the Far East tragedy..."

His expression changed slightly as he continued reading, "Why did the luxury liner Far East sink, resulting in so many deaths? The sole survivor of the wreck revealed the hidden truth to me... Hmm... I think I've read this report."

Akai Yoshikazu said proudly, "Three years ago, my report caused a huge storm, accusing society of justice and truth."

"So this report was actually written by you."

"That's right, even winning an award wouldn't be too much."

"But, even if you are like this, you shouldn't secretly take pictures of other people's privacy."

Akai Yoshikazu stopped talking.

At this moment, Misaki Joji suddenly turned around and walked towards the steering room.

"Mr. Mizusaki, what are you going to do?" asked Kogoro Mouri.

Misaki Jōji said, "Captain, Prince Waka and Mr. Garner are both dead. Now I am the only one who can control this ship. Moreover, if we don't get back on course quickly, this ship will be wrecked."

After hearing what Misaki Jōji said, Maori Kogoro said nothing more.

Although he considered himself good at reasoning, he knew nothing about navigation.

……

Half an hour later, someone shouted, "Look, isn't that an island?"

Everyone on the deck immediately ran to the railing and looked into the distance.

"Yes, it is indeed a small island."

"Great, we are saved."

Akai Yoshikazu even raised his binoculars and said excitedly, "There are people, there are people on the cliff, but the fog is so thick that we can't see them anymore."

Maori Kogoro clenched his fists and said, "If there really are people on the island, perhaps they can contact the nearby port by radio."

The passenger ship slowly approached the island. To be cautious, only Kogoro Mori, Yoshikazu Akai, two young men from society, and Joji Misaki went ashore on the island by kayak, while the rest of the people remained on the ship.

“I hope everyone can be saved.”

Looking at the backs of the people, Xiaolan murmured, she originally thought it should be a happy trip, but she didn't expect that there was such a big gap between reality and ideal. Not to mention that the passenger ship was dilapidated, three people died in just two days. Although everyone now believes that Prince Ruo who committed suicide by leaving a suicide note is the murderer, for some reason, Xiaolan always feels panic in her heart, as if the case is not over yet.

……

The sun sank below the horizon, and the western sky was a fiery red.

Kogoro Mori and his companions finally returned.

"Dad, what's the situation on the island?" Xiaolan asked, "Is there anyone there?"

Kogoro Mori's expression looked extremely unnatural.

Seeing her father's strange expression, Xiaolan had a bad feeling in her heart and asked, "Did something happen again?"

Maori Kogoro sighed and said solemnly: "Mr. Akai fell off a cliff and died."

"What!!"

Not only Xiaolan, but even Watanabe Toru was shocked. They didn't expect that just when they landed on the island, another person would die.

428, close call

Cruise ship restaurant.

The young man slammed the table hard and shouted, "Damn it! What the hell is going on? Wasn't Prince Ru the murderer? That guy already committed suicide. Why would someone else die?"

"It's the Ghost Captain. There's no one on that island." Another young man covered his head, looking a little devastated. "It really is the Ghost Captain."

Maori Kogoro knew he had to speak up now, and he tried to calm everyone's fears with a calm tone: "Calm down, Mr. Akai must have slipped and fell off the cliff. I think he was trying to take pictures of the beautiful sunset."

"No, it must be the ghost captain." But this explanation didn't seem to calm the young man down. He trembled and said, "Someone will disappear tonight, and another one will disappear tomorrow. When everyone disappears, this ship will become a real ghost ship."

After a brief silence, Misaki Joji sighed and said, "Anyway, we must get this ship to a nearby port as quickly as possible and seek help from there."

"This is the only way." Kogoro Mouri had no other choice.

It gradually got dark.

After taking a shower, Toru Watanabe sat on the bed, thinking about the case.

Obviously, this case did not happen in Conan Unit 220, so what is the truth and who the real murderer is, needs to be deduced by Watanabe Toru himself.

"It can't be some ghost captain. The murderer must still be on this ship."

Just as Watanabe Toru was thinking this, suddenly, the lights above his head went out.

power cut?

As soon as the thought came out, I heard Xiaolan's voice coming from the bathroom while she was taking a shower: "Xiao Che, why is the light out?"

Watanabe Toru said outside the door: "It seems that the power outage occurred, Sister Xiaolan, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I'll be right out."

Three to five minutes later, Xiaolan came out in her pajamas and said with lingering fear, "I thought something was going to happen again."

"Don't worry, Sister Xiaolan, the call should come soon." said Toru Watanabe.

"I wonder how Dad is doing? Xiaoche, let's go over and check it out." Xiaolan was a little worried about her father.

Watanabe Toru nodded: "Okay, let's go and take a look."

Kogoro Mouri's room was right next to theirs. As soon as the two opened the door, Toru Watanabe froze in place.

"What's wrong, Toru?" Xiaolan asked curiously when she saw Watanabe Toru's astonished look.

Watanabe Toru pointed at the lights in the corridor and said, "Wasn't the power out? Why is it still on in the corridor?"

"Really?" After Watanabe Toru's reminder, Xiaolan also realized that something was wrong: "Is it only our room that has no electricity?"

"Ask your uncle."

Watanabe Toru went over and knocked on the door.

After a while, the sleepy Maori Kogoro opened the door and saw Watanabe Toru and Xiaolan standing outside. He yawned and said, "What's wrong?"

"Uncle, is there anything in your room?" asked Toru Watanabe.

"electricity?"

Mouri Kogoro asked, but before he could answer, Watanabe Toru walked into his room and pressed the switch on the wall.

pat.

The lights in the room were not on.

Maori Kogoro asked curiously: "Eh? Is there a power outage?"

Watanabe Toru's expression didn't soften at all, and he went to knock on the door of the young man across the street: "Mr. Matsubara, Mr. Matsubara..."

After a while, Matsubara Shigeru came to open the door and said in a daze, "What happened? Did someone die again?"

Watanabe Toru ignored him, walked straight into his room and pressed the switch.

light is on.

It turned out to be like this...

Watanabe Toru's mouth curled up slightly. He already knew the truth of the case. Next...
