Conan Rick's Investigator

Akiyoshi Miwako's expression froze for a moment, and after a moment's thought, she said, "Teacher's designs are mainly concentrated in the lower work area, as he used to design cargo ships."

"I'm in charge of the tourist entertainment area up there, except for the Black Forest Restaurant, which is a theme restaurant designed by the teacher himself..."

Since this cruise ship is

The cruise ship mainly provides tourism services, so the design of Miwako Akiyoshi is the biggest signature of the ship.

After listening to Akiyoshi Miwako's introduction, Qin Zhibo looked thoughtful.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.

If it's there, maybe I can hide...

"Okay, thank you, Ms. Akiyoshi."

Qin Zhibo quickly stood up and said goodbye to Akiyoshi Miwako.

Before leaving, he looked back at the woman with glasses and said, "By the way, I already know who the murderer of the eight generations of father and daughter is..."

"I think you'll be surprised by that person's identity, because it's someone we both know."

"Oh?"

Akiyoshi Miwako's eyes were slightly shocked, and she pretended to be calm as she raised her hand to adjust the frameless glasses on her high nose.

“…Who is that person?”

Seeing Akiyoshi Miwako's micro-expression reaction, Qin Zhibo smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, the truth will be revealed sooner or later."

"But not now..."

After saying that, Qin Zhibo turned around and left in a cool manner.

Looking at Qin Zhibo's departing back, several dark lines appeared on Akiyoshi Miwako's forehead and her expression was very complicated.

When she reached out to touch the coffee cup, her hand holding it began to tremble.

……

Qin Zhibo left the restaurant, and had basically grasped the whole picture of the murder of eight generations of father and daughter.

The real murderer is Miwako Akiyoshi.

She was the one who planted the bomb.

Although she tried her best to appear calm, the bomb was discovered so easily that her expression was still flawed.

And her words betrayed her.

Unlike the bombs installed by the half-baked Kusaka Hironari, the purpose of these bombs is to sink the ship completely.

However, when the ship she had worked so hard to design was about to be sunk, Akiyoshi Miwako's reaction was to calmly ask herself whether she had notified the police.

In addition, Qin Zhibo guessed that she herself should know that Kusaka Guangcheng used her as an alibi.

Akiyoshi Miwako, a smart woman, should have known long ago that Kusaka Hironari had impure motives for approaching her, and she found the truth of the incident 15 years ago and the crime plan on Kusaka Hironari's computer.

So, she decided to take advantage of the situation and comply with Kusaka Hiroshige's criminal plan.

However, the success rate of Kusaka Hironari's half-baked plan was too low, forcing Akiyoshi Miwako to take action herself.

She entered Suite 604 when Yashiro Takie was taking a shower, knocked Yashiro Takie unconscious, then disguised herself as Yashiro Takie and waited for Kusaka Hironari to come.

In front of Kusaka Hironari, she used a blood plasma bag to pretend to be attacked and killed, and then killed the real Yashiro Takie in the same way and left the scene.

The evidence is that before Qin Zhibo came to find Akiyoshi Miwako herself, he had sneaked into her room and found that a bathrobe was missing from the bathroom in her room.

Because she disguised herself as Yashiro Takie by wearing the bathrobe in her room, and then took the bathrobe away and threw it into the sea.

The purpose of doing this is that the bathrobe was stained with fake plasma when he was dressed as Yashiro Také and had to be taken away and destroyed.

The fact that Akiyoshi Miwako had even considered this in advance shows that she is extremely meticulous.

On the other hand, Hirasaka Hirose not only wrote his criminal plan on the computer, making such a childish mistake, but he even did not confirm the appearance of the target when killing his enemy.

And Kusaka Hironari's murder of the eighth president should have been secretly helped by Akiyoshi Miwako.

In this way, she could escape the blame by pretending to be a "stupid woman" used by Kusaka Hironari to create an alibi in front of the police.

As for the last target of Kusaka Hironari's assassination plan - Kaito Wataru, Akiyoshi Miwako also completed the plan.

Kusaka Hironari's plan was to use a bomb to create chaos at the welcome party and take the opportunity to assassinate Captain Kaito Wataru.

But he doesn't

You know, the power supply system of a large cruise ship like this is very complete. The power supply will not be completely lost due to damage to a distribution room. The backup power supply system will be activated immediately.

As the designer of the ship, Miwako Akiyoshi was well aware of this, so she installed a bomb that was powerful enough to sink the cruise ship, and then took advantage of the chaos to kill Watari Kaito.

Because as the captain's duty, he must make sure that everyone has escaped before he can leave last.

Because of this, Qin Zhibo did not find the bomb detonator in Akiyoshi Miwako's room.

The bomb was detonated using a countdown, and the time was probably when the cocktail party was going on.

However, Qin Zhibo found a spear gun in her suitcase. She must have planned to wait until Hai Tengdu was the only one left on the boat and then shoot him dead.

As for the reason why Akiyoshi Miwako did all this, it was probably to avenge her father, Captain Okita on the Yashiro Maru freighter who died 15 years ago.

Now that he has figured out the truth of the case, Qin Zhibo is no longer in a hurry to solve it.

The truth of the case will come out sooner or later.

However, he must find out what is in the "big iron box" before the ship sinks.

The reason why he didn't tell the police about the bomb was that compared to the danger of the ship sinking, the "big iron box" mentioned in the main mission was obviously more dangerous.

Perhaps the fact that the bomb would sink the Aphrodite was a variable that the people behind the planning of this entire incident had failed to consider.

If the bomb could be detonated on time, perhaps more people would be saved.

……

On the other side, the police officers and Kogoro Mouri were still discussing the case in the conference room.

Captain Kaito Tou came to report at this time that the Coast Guard had found the body suspected to be the eighth generation president.

Everyone's expressions were shocked, and there was a heavy look in their eyes.

Megure stood up at this time and said seriously: "Captain, there is something we want to discuss with you."

Kaito Watari held his captain's hat in one hand, "What's the matter?"

"Regarding the welcome reception scheduled for 5 o'clock, since the death of the eighth-generation president requires further investigation, I would like to ask for your cooperation in temporarily canceling the welcome reception."

Kaito Watari's eyes changed slightly, and he looked a little embarrassed, "But..."

"I'm counting on you, Captain."

Just as Megure was negotiating with Kaito Wataru, a hoarse voice came from behind.

"Officer Megure, please wait a moment."

"Let the drinking party go on as usual..."

"Huh?" Megure turned to look at Maori Kogoro and asked, "Mori brother, what are you talking about?"

According to general experience, the murderer has not been caught yet, and it is easy for something to go wrong if we rashly hold a large gathering.

And the murderer must be on this ship now.

However, Kogoro Mouri had already changed into a handsome black suit, with a handsome and confident smile on his face.

"Because then the truth will be revealed..."

Upon hearing these words, Megure and Takagi's expressions instantly brightened up.

"Mori-kun, could it be that you..."

"Has that inspiration finally come to you?"

After being praised by the two, Kogoro Mori immediately broke down and laughed with his tongue sticking out.

Seeing this, only Shiratori grumbled helplessly, "But you haven't fallen asleep yet..."

White birds are good at summarizing patterns.

According to previous situations, before Kogoro Mouri switched to "Sleeping Kogoro Mouri", the reasoning he made was basically nonsense, and he always gave the wrong suspects.

Conan next to him glanced helplessly at his future father-in-law, his eyes full of disgust.

Ha ha……

Is this uncle okay?

Compared to Kogoro Mouri solving the case, Conan trusts Tomohiro Qin to solve the case more.

However, Qin Zhibo disappeared from the ship an hour ago.

The.

Logically speaking, since Qin Zhibo himself had already identified the murderer, it was impossible for him to do nothing.

Could it be that he has already found the key evidence and is planning to wait until the welcome reception to make his move?

If this is the case, then my preparations would seem redundant.

……

5 o'clock, Main Dining Room 1.

When it was time for the welcome reception, the passengers on the ship changed into formal suits and gathered here one after another.

Conan also ran to gather with Mao Lilan and others, enjoying a short moment of happiness.

Seeing Dr. Chengshi was also there, Conan went up to ask.

"Doctor Chengshi, are you okay?"

"Well, I've almost recovered. Thank you for your concern, Conan~"

Cheng Shi turned around and looked around, but the familiar man was not among the crowd.

So he turned to Conan and asked, "Conan, do you know where Mr. Qin is?"

Conan shook his head truthfully, "I don't know where Uncle Qin is..."

"He's probably investigating a case somewhere. He'll show up soon."

Conan guessed this way because he was already prepared to uncover the truth, and there was no reason why Qin Zhibo could not find out the truth of the case.

Of course, he did this to cover up for Kogoro Mouri who was about to make a fool of himself in public and prevent him from being laughed at too badly by everyone.

So he came to Dr. Agasa and asked in a low voice: "Doctor, did you bring the recorder?"

"Well, don't worry..." Dr. Agasa patted his trouser pocket, indicating that the thing was in his pocket.

At this moment, the lights in the venue suddenly flickered, the lighting atmosphere changed abruptly, and the spotlights were focused on the front of the stage.

A beautiful lady with a ponytail wearing a white uniform was standing on the podium giving a speech.

"Welcome everyone to the Aphrodite..."

"I'm the host of this evening's cocktail party. My name is Tsujimoto Kaho."

As soon as the sweet voice fell, warm applause broke out in the venue.

Conan looked at the beautiful woman on the stage and recognized her as the personal secretary of the Yashiro father and daughter.

"Thank you everyone." Tsujimoto Kaho nodded slightly.

"Before the reception officially begins, let me first introduce the main staff members of this cruise ship..."

Chapter 1368 Double Reasoning

"The first one is the head waiter, Mr. Misaki Naoya."

Following the introduction by Kaho Tsujimoto, a crew member of broad build stepped forward and bowed to the guests in the audience.

He was the crew member from Misaki who had previously met with Kogoro Mori. He was the foreman of all the service staff on the "Aphrodite", that is, a senior waiter.

The guests in the audience applauded in welcome.
