Conan Rick's Investigator

There are large areas of vegetation in the restaurant, including forests, low shrubs and even lawns.

The relatively dim lighting creates a unique atmosphere. Guests dining in the open space in the woods feel as if they are in a large forest.

And all these experiences actually came from a cruise ship on the sea.

This unique sense of contrast is quite romantic.

Haibara Ai and Cheng Shi sat in the reserved seats while the others went to get food.

After a while, Ran Mouri, Sonoko, and Professor Agasa, the three little ones brought a lot of food.

Among them are grilled beef, grilled bird skewers, charcoal-grilled eel, etc. There are also light foods that Haibara Ai specifically asked Chengshi to get, such as seafood porridge, vegetable salad, and fruit platter.

After everyone was seated, the three little ones, who had been hungry for the whole afternoon, began to eat with relish.

Dr. Agasa stared at the roast beef on the table, feeling a little eager to try something.

He had just brought this plate of roast beef from the buffet table when Haibara Ai was not around.

As a result, now in front of Haibara Ai, he was a little afraid to do it.

Because of Haibara Ai's strict obesity management, he is only allowed to eat one meal with meat per week.

And the sumptuous meal last night has already used up this week's quota.

"By the way, why haven't Uncle Maori and Uncle Qin come back yet? Don't they want to have lunch?" Sonoko asked at this time.

Mao Lilan stopped the knife and fork in her hand, turned to look at Sonoko, and explained: "I heard from Conan that there was a murder on the ship, so she couldn't come back..."

"What? Murder!"

Yuanzi was shocked and the sound also startled some of the guests around.

"Sh-!"

Mao Lilan quickly made a shushing gesture, "Sonoko, it's not time to make this public yet. It has to be kept secret..."

"Oh." Sonoko nodded repeatedly, but her face was still full of shock.

At this time, the three kids sitting opposite heard that there was a murder on the boat, and Conan was still not back, so they realized something was wrong.

Mitsuhiko: "That Conan guy left us to investigate again?"

Genta: "How cunning! He didn't even inform us of the incident. He only informed Xiaolan-nee..."

Ayumi: "Well, let's go find Conan after dinner!"

The three little ones expressed their opinions and soon reached a consensus on the goal.

However, before they could implement the plan, Haibara Ai canceled the plan of the three people.

"Dame..."

"If a crime happened on the ship, it means there's a murderer. It's safer for everyone to stay together at this time."

"And even if you go, the police won't let you participate in the case just because you're from the Junior Detective League."

Haibara Ai analyzed the current situation rationally, which made the three little ones immediately become dejected.

I’m not happy if I can’t get involved in a case!

The three little ones could only turn their grief and anger into strength and continue to eat with relish.

When Chengshi, Maoli Ran and Sonoko saw the three little ones being completely subdued by Haibara Ai, they showed a knowing smile on their faces.

"Dame..."

At this time, Huiyuan Ai said lightly

one sentence.

The three little ones quickly raised their heads, thinking that Huibara Ai was talking about them.

Just when they were about to say that they had given up the idea of ​​taking advantage of the case, they saw Haibara Ai taking back a plate of roast beef from the dining table in front of Professor Agasa.

"Doctor, you already ate meat yesterday, so you can't eat it today."

"No, I probably can't eat it for a week..."

Haibara Ai took the roast beef away calmly and put it back on the group dining table.

Dr. Agasa looked lost and helpless.

He was planning to steal a few pieces of beef while Haibara Ai was persuading the three little ones, but he still couldn't escape Haibara Ai's eyes.

Mao Lilan smiled and looked at Haibara Ai, "It feels like Ai is a serious and responsible parent~"

"When Dr. Cheng Shi was kidnapped just now, Ai was also very worried..."

When she heard the second sentence, Huibara Ai, who was calmly eating fruit, blushed slightly.

Cheng Shi looked down at Haibara Ai with a smile on his lips.

"Thank you, Ai-chan."

"nothing……"

Haibara Ai's voice remained calm, but there were already some waves in her heart.

This is nothing compared to what you did for me...

……

Tiered meeting room.

The police and detectives spent a brief 15 minutes eating the meal brought by the crew and then continued their investigation.

Megure met with former Prime Minister Niimi and his wife and took down their statements.

Then, all the current clues were summarized and the murderer's crime timeline was written on the whiteboard.

Since the murderer was committing two murders on a single front, the itineraries of the father and daughter, Chairman Yashiro and Takae Yashiro, were planned separately.

After establishing the timeline, the police found that the schedule was very accurate, with an error of no more than 3 minutes.

Therefore, it is suspected that the murderer had known the itinerary of the eight generations of father and daughter in advance.

In addition, the only person who can sneak into Room 604 is the holder of the master key, which provides a reliable direction for investigating the murderer.

However, the words of the Cape crew once again put the investigation into trouble.

"There are quite a lot of people who have master keys..."

"Besides me, the guards, Kaho who's in charge of protection, Secretary Tsujimoto, the senior crew members, the head waiter, almost everyone."

"I see..." Inspector Megure held his chin in his hand, his thoughts at a standstill.

At this time, Qin Zhibo asked, "Ms. Tsujimoto, besides you, does anyone else know about the president's schedule?"

The secretary turned to look at the crew member next to her, "I only told Director Misaki about the itinerary. No one else knows..."

Qin Zhibo took a quick look at the appearance and physique of the two men. The crew member was a little fat and the secretary was not tall enough, both of them were different from the suspected murderer witnessed by the passengers.

However, this does not mean that the murderer has no other way to know the itinerary of the eight generations father and daughter.

Chapter 1364: The Ruthless Person at the Investigation Point

"Ms. Tsujimoto, did you report your itinerary yesterday, or did you write it down in a notebook that was lost some time ago..."

In response to Qin Zhibo's question, the secretary tilted her head back in thought before replying, "I haven't lost my work notes... but after the dinner yesterday, I did confirm today's schedule with the chairman and the president in the room."

"By the way, speaking of losing things, I remembered something..."

"Just two weeks ago, the eighth president was interviewed on this ship. The key to his room was lost, but it was quickly found."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhibo and Conan's expressions suddenly became serious.

“Whose interview is this?”

"It's Mr. Kusaka Hiroseri."

Kusaka Hironari is the yellow-haired man who kicked Conan yesterday and refused to apologize.

Although he looks a bit frivolous, he is actually a professional screenwriter.

"Why does Kusaka Hironari want to interview the eighth president?" Qin Zhibo asked.

The secretary replied, "Mr. Kusaka is planning to use the Aphrodite as a prototype for his new story, so he wants to ask the Eighth Chairman for some inspiration."

"For this reason, Mr. Kusaka came to interview me several times..."

At this point, the bewildered Inspector Megure finally couldn't help but ask, "Wait a minute! Let me first figure out who this Mr. Kusaka is?"

Qin Zhibo explained, "He's a screenwriter. I met him at a dinner party last night..."

Before Qin Zhibo could finish his words, Conan, who was standing at a lower position, took the initiative to express his suspicions.

"But that older brother left before dessert. If he had copied the room key, he could have sneaked into the president's room and planted a bug during that time."

"In this case, the Eighth-generation President's schedule will be exposed."

Qin Zhibo: “…”

When Megure heard that there was a specific target for investigation, he immediately slammed the table and gave an order.

"Okay, let's go meet that Mr. Kusaka now."

Seeing the police taking action, Conan's mouth curled up, revealing a somewhat evil smile.

Qin Zhibo looked down and saw Conan's smile, feeling a little embarrassed.

Why did that guy have to offend Conan when there were so many people he could offend?

……

Everyone came to the door of Kusaka Hironari's room, and Megure, who was in the lead, knocked on the door.

After a few seconds, a voice came from behind the door.

"Who?"

"Is this Mr. Kusaka?"

"Yes……"

"We are the police, and we have something to ask you."

Megure did not use the excuse of opening the door to check the water meter, but directly stated his identity.

"police?"

“Here I come…”

The door of the room opened and Kusaka Hironari, dressed in casual clothes, appeared at the door.

But when Qin Zhibo saw him for the first time, his pupils dilated instantly.

This guy actually has a survey point on his head...

Qin Zhibo was also a little confused when he looked at the white light above Rixia Guangcheng's head.

This is the first time I see someone holding a survey point on his head.

Then I'm welcome...

【Survey√】

[The color of this hair is a little different]

Qin Zhibo looked carefully at the hair ends where the investigation point was, and sure enough, there was a color difference from the surrounding yellow hair.

Although I'm not sure what's going on with the color difference, but there are investigation points on him, so it's basically the criminal who has not escaped...

Here, the police and detective went straight to the point and told Kusaka Hironari the reason for their visit.

The current chain of clues is just speculation and there is no evidence, so Kusaka Hironari can only try to prove his innocence.

If he can't prove it, then it's time to take the next step.

However, after learning that he was suspected

Instead of panicking, Kusaka Hirose lay calmly in the armchair and spoke with a smile.

"I see. A bug..."
