Conan Rick's Investigator

That was exactly in his plan.

I didn't expect Akiyoshi Miwako to be quite pretty, but it's a pity that she's mute?

At this time, the forensic officer came over to report on the investigation.

"The on-site investigation revealed nothing new, other than the traces already identified..."

"However, the traces next to the body that Mr. Qin asked me to investigate have been identified."

"That reddish-brown mark shows signs of being wiped. Although it looks like blood, there's no blood reaction..."

Hearing this, Qin Zhibo and Conan's expressions suddenly changed, and the answer emerged in their minds.

It's plasma.

The luminol reagent relies on the hemoglobin in the blood to produce a blood reaction, but there is no hemoglobin in plasma, so it will not trigger a blood reaction.

This suggests that someone used plasma at the crime scene.

When it comes to the use of plasma at a crime scene, the first thing that comes to mind is naturally the plasma packs used to create suspended animation.

Could it be that the process of killing Yashiro Takie was not as simple as Kusaka Hironari planned?

Qin Zhibo was thinking about it when Forensic Officer Dengmi asked Officer Megure to send the collected evidence back to the Metropolitan Police Department first.

Megure also agreed.

When Qin Zhibo heard that the Metropolitan Police Department plane was about to leave, he realized that this was the last way to escape before the disaster.

Although he couldn't tell everyone about the impending danger, he could at least send away those who were most vulnerable.

"Wait a moment……"

"Mr. Tomi, there should be room for at least one more person on your plane, right?"

The Tomi Appraiser nodded, "Okay."

"Well, I have a wounded person who needs to be transported. Let's take your plane and leave together..."

The land inspection officer nodded hesitantly, "No problem."

Conan and Maori Kogoro looked at Qin Zhibo with some confusion, and Megure also asked.

"Brother Qin, who are the wounded people you are talking about?"

"It's Chengshi..."

Qin Zhibo said as he pulled out his phone, "Although there's a medical room on board, I feel more at ease back on land."

As soon as he finished speaking, he had already dialed Mao Lilan's number.

On the other side, after lunch, everyone couldn't go swimming because not everyone was there, so they could only sit in the infirmary and chat.

At this time, Mao Li Ran received a call. She thought it was a call from Conan or Mao Li Kogoro, but the voice of Qin Zhibo came from the other end.

"Mr. Qin?"

"...Okay, I'll talk to Dr. Chengshi."

She put down the phone and turned to look at Cheng Shi.

"Ms. Chengshi, Mr. Qin said that the Metropolitan Police Department's plane is about to return, and asked if you would like to take this plane back with you..."

Chapter 1366: Did you plant the bomb?

"go back?"

Cheng Shi was a little surprised at Qin Zhibo's proposal.

"But I feel much better now, so I don't need to go back..."

Mao Lilan glanced at Cheng Shi and then relayed Cheng Shi's words to Qin Zhibo on the other end of the phone.

Qin Zhibo pondered for two seconds and decided to respect Cheng Shi's choice.

Now everyone on the ship is like grasshoppers tied to the same rope. If in the end Chengshi is the only one who escapes the disaster by leaving early on a plane, he must be very sad.

"Okay..." Qin Zhibo hung up the phone.

On the other side, Cheng Shi sat up and turned to look out the window.

"There might be a storm tonight..."

"Eh? What?"

Mao Lilan, who was sitting beside the bed, was stunned.

Cheng Shi smiled and explained to everyone, "This is the experience that the fishermen who often went fishing on Yueying Island taught me."

"Look at the sky over there. This is a sign before the storm."

Everyone followed Cheng Shi's gaze and turned to look out the window, only to see a dark cloud lingering on the edge of the blue sky.

"As expected!"

"This is my first time encountering a storm at sea!"

"This ship won't sink, will it?"

The three little ones started chattering, especially Yuan Tai from Zaun, who was known for his bad mouth.

Sonoko leaned over and said soothingly, "Don't be afraid. This ship is a cruise ship after all. Even if a storm rages on the sea, it will only rock slightly at best."

Mao Lilan also said at this time: "Mr. Qin might be worried that there will be a storm at night and he won't be able to rest well on the boat, so he wants to send Miss Cheng Shi back by helicopter..."

Cheng Shi's cheeks were slightly red as he lay on the bed.

At this time, the three little ones began to feel emotional again.

"But my rare trip is ruined..."

"First there's the case, then there's the storm. It's really not peaceful..."

"yes……"

Mitsuhiko crossed his arms and asked in confusion, "Why do people always hurt each other?"

Ayumi also lowered her head slightly and sighed, "If only everyone could live in peace..."

"it's out of the question."

At this time, Huihara Ai, who was standing on the other side of the bed, spoke calmly.

"Because humans are emotional animals, and emotions are invisible, fickle, and troublesome things."

"If it's friendship or love, it's fine, but if it turns into jealousy or hatred due to some chance, it might lead to murderous intent..."

"If we want to completely eliminate hatred from this world, I'm afraid there will only be one person left..."

Haibara Ai's negative sermons made Ran Mouri, Sonoko, and Professor Agasa who were present only smile awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

When Cheng Shi recalled his past, he realized that what Haibara Ai said was right in some way.

I was once blinded by hatred and ignored all the beauty in life.

but……

“That’s why humans invented language.”

“Humans crave communication, a desire to understand the other person’s thoughts and to enter into the inner world of others.”

"All we can do is have empathy for others and always hope for good things to happen..."

Cheng Shi looked at Haibara Ai with a smile, with a hopeful light in his eyes.

Although he didn't know much about Haibara Ai's past, he could feel that this girl, like himself, had experienced many tragic things.

But now he has moved on, put aside the burdens of the past, and lives bravely, pursuing the "little happiness" in life.

And he hopes that Haibara Ai can do the same and gradually put down the heavy burden on her shoulders.

In the silent atmosphere, Huihara Ai's expression froze for a moment, and then she lowered her hands that were hugging her shoulders.

She stretches

He raised his eyebrows, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, turned his head and said to the three little ones.

"I heard that the ship will stop at Hachijojima on its way back, and there's a chance we might see whales there..."

"What!"

The three little ones screamed excitedly, "Great! We can see a big whale!"

……

Suite 604.

The police officers summarized the information they had collected for evidence, and the forensic officer Dengmi took the physical evidence back to land by helicopter.

The police who remained on the ship were ready to continue collecting information from witnesses, perhaps someone else had seen the murderer.

On the way back to the room, Conan wanted to discuss the details of the case with Qin Zhibo.

But Qin Zhibo was very fast and disappeared at the end of the corridor before he could catch up.

Are you in such a hurry to go back and see Dr. Chengshi?

Conan grinned helplessly.

There was no other way, he could only investigate the case alone.

In his mind, Kusaka Hironari should be the murderer.

Because he found the same recording equipment as Dr. Agasa's in Kusaka's room.

Kusaka Hironari can record the content of the project plan he is going to talk about in advance and then play it in front of the phone.

And since Akiyoshi Miwako wouldn't interrupt, Kusaka Hironari was left talking to himself.

But now he lacks evidence, so he has to question Akiyoshi Miwako alone.

Soon, Conan found Miwako Akiyoshi reading a book in the main restaurant.

The pianist in the restaurant was playing elegant music. Miwako Akiyoshi was pinching the handle of the coffee cup with two fingers and holding a small purple book in the other hand.

"Big sis, what are you reading?"

Conan put his head on his hands, pretending to be an innocent boy and took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

Akiyoshi Miwako glanced at the book in her hand and smiled, "This is the book that Master Yingren gave me to read before he passed away..."

Miwako Akiyoshi showed Conan the cover of the book. There was a four-pointed star on it with the word "mother" printed in the middle of the star.

"Mother?" Conan looked a little confused. The title of this book was really simple and direct.

Akiyoshi Miwako shook her head. "It doesn't mean 'mother'. Judging from the content of the book, it should mean 'mother goddess', or 'mother of all things'."

"It tells the story of what happened to some followers of the Supreme Mother Goddess Shub-Niggurath..."

"Oh……"

Conan mused, "That's the name Mr. Yashiro Hideto mentioned before that he wanted to give this ship, right?"

Akiyoshi Miwako smiled, "Little brother, you have a pretty good memory..."

"But what do you want from me?"

Akiyoshi Miwako changed the subject. She could see that this clever kid definitely wasn't here to talk to her about books.

"Well, I want to ask you something, onee-san..."

"Of course, little detective."

At this time, Conan sat down on the sofa opposite Akiyoshi Miwako, "When you were discussing the project plan with Mr. Kusaka on the phone, did you really not speak at all?"

Akiyoshi Miwako nodded. "Yes, because that person doesn't like to be interrupted. I was scolded for interrupting him several times before, and he told me to shut up and listen to him carefully..."

"So, when you were talking to Mr. Kusaka on the phone, did you feel anything strange, like the voice was a little distorted or unreal?"

Conan thought that if his hypothesis was correct, then the sound would definitely be distorted when recorded into the equipment and then relayed over the phone.

Akiyoshi Miwako raised her chin, thought for a few seconds, and her eyes became a little dazed.

"Now that you mention it, it seems like the voice does sound a little unclear..."
