Conan Rick's Investigator

Conan said something very mysterious, which confused Kusaka Hironari and made him waver. His eyes widened with disbelief.

Did I really not delete it?

Conan also learned this ability to deceive people from Qin Zhibo, "I bet there are no bullets in your gun."

Only Haibara Ai, who was standing next to Conan, saw through everything and said calmly, "Is this considered fabricated evidence?"

"Uh..." Conan curled his lips, revealing a "I want

You're meddling in other people's business."

However, Conan is not afraid of being accused of perjury because he has other evidence.

At this point, Kusaka Hironari's brain also reacted, and he spread his hands and continued to defend himself, "That's just a recording I made to record my inspiration. It doesn't mean anything..."

"Just based on this, you're accusing me of murder. I think you're no different from that Maori detective just now."

He deliberately mentioned Kogoro Mori, trying to equate Dr. Agasa's suspicion of him with the embarrassment Mori had just made.

But Conan took the initiative to jump out at this time and stopped pretending.

"Huh? Oni, there seems to be a clump of black hair mixed in with your red hair..."

"If I'm not mistaken, is that blood?"

"Blood!"

Megure and others, whose sensitive word mechanism was triggered, changed their expressions and immediately walked in front of Kusaka Hironari with vigilance.

"Excuse me, could you please cooperate..."

Conan returned to Dr. Agasa and continued to deliver the finishing blow in Dr. Agasa's voice: "Although you looked in the mirror after committing the crime, because your hair color is very similar to blood, you didn't notice it at the first time."

"But remember, blood will form clots and turn black over time."

"And the scarf around your neck. You keep it wrapped around your neck whenever you're in the room. Perhaps there's something hidden underneath?"

This was what Conan discovered when he went to see Kusaka Hironari alone for the second time.

He didn't pay much attention when he went to his room for the first time, but when he went there for the second time, Conan noticed that the scarf was tied differently from before.

This shows that Kusaka Hiroaki had once untied his scarf.

However, he always ties his scarf back on every time he meets someone, which means there must be some unspeakable secret.

"Excuse me."

Takagi immediately reached out to untie Kusaka Hironari's scarf, and sure enough, a huge palm print was revealed underneath.

This palm print was the scratch left on his neck when he was fighting with the eighth president in the dock. He was a weakling in combat and was ridden by the strong and robust president.

"Mr. Kusaka, please come with me into the room and talk."

The evidence was conclusive, so Megure stepped forward and took the suspect into custody first.

But Kusaka Hironari suddenly took out a detonator from his pocket and waved it at the police.

"Don't come over here!"

"Or I'll detonate the bomb!"

Chapter 1369 What's in the Box

"bomb!"

"There's a bomb!"

When the guests heard the name "Eight Eggs", they screamed in fear and moved to the back.

The whole venue was in chaos.

"If you don't want the ship to sink, just listen to me!"

Kusaka Hironari held the detonator in his hand as if it were a talisman.

Megure quickly raised his hand to persuade, "Calm down first!"

"Why on earth would you do this?"

When faced with the police's questions, Kusaka Hironari roared, "It's to avenge my father!"

"Fifteen years ago, the crew member who died on the Yashiro cargo ship was my father!"

"Two years ago, I heard many doubts about the boat accident from a colleague who came to pay his respects to my father."

"The then-president of Yashiro Shokan and director Entaro planned to sink the cargo ship in order to defraud insurance money and overcome financial difficulties!"

"Also, they recruited the then-second-in-command, Kaito Watari, to get rid of Captain Okita, who always demanded better treatment for the crew..."

Facing Kusaka Hironari's accusations, Kaito Wataru on the stage remained calm and unmoved.

Kusaka Hironari stared at Kaito Watari and said coldly, "You agreed to join them, made Captain Okita drink coffee spiked with sleeping pills, and then deliberately let the ship hit the iceberg and detonated the bombs prepared in advance..."

"The bomb's placement was also in accordance with the designer, Hideto Yashiro's instructions, right?"

Kaito Watari on the stage remained silent.

Only Akiyoshi Miwako looked surprised, with a startled expression, "I didn't expect the teacher to actually..."

In order to delay time, Megure continued to follow Kusaka Hironari's words and asked: "Kusaka, tell me how you killed the eighth chairman?"

Kusaka Hironari snorted coldly and replied nonchalantly, "Because that old guy pressed his body against me and grabbed my neck, I threw him over my shoulder into the sea..."

"Then I plan to imitate you and blow up the ship. Then I'll take advantage of the chaos and kill you."

Kaito Wataru on the stage looked down at Kusaka Hironari with a slightly fixed gaze. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but nothing came out.

Just then, a male guest quietly approached Kusaka Hironari from behind.

Megure saw it immediately, but he was unable to stop the guest's behavior, so he could only yell to attract Kusaka Hironari's attention.

"Wait a minute! Kusaka!"

"Please take your fingers off the remote control, and then we can sit down and have a good chat..."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Kusaka Hironari yelled at Megure, but his eye happened to catch a glimpse of the male guest who rushed towards him from the side and rear.

He twisted his body to the side, just avoiding the male guest's pounce, and at the same time pressed the detonator with his finger.

Conan, who was taking a detour not far away and preparing to shoot Kusaka with an anesthetic needle, saw this scene and immediately thought that something was wrong.

Oops!

But just as Conan was ready to face the first wave of impact from the bomb, the ground in the venue didn't shake at all, and no sound of explosion was heard.

There was a hint of doubt in Kusaka Hironari's eyes. He stared at the detonator in his hand and pressed the detonation button several times in a hurry.

However, the banquet hall was still silent, and nothing happened at all.

Conan's face was shocked. Could it be that the detonator was broken?

Megure, who was a few meters away, also realized this and rushed forward with his men.

"Get him!"

"ha!"

Takagi, Shiratori and Megure pounced on Kusaka Hironari together, pinned him down in a pyramid posture, and snatched the detonator from his hand.

When Kusaka Guangcheng got up from the ground again, he was wearing a pair of silver bracelets on his hands.

"I won't accept this!"

"I refuse to accept this!"

Kusaka Hironari was flanked on the left and right by Takagi and Shiratori

He was holding it, still roaring angrily.

"Why am I the only one being arrested? The man who killed my father is still standing there!"

Kusaka Hironari glared at Kaito Wataru on the stage. This man did not show any apology from beginning to end, and even his emotions did not fluctuate much.

Megure said sternly: "If what you said is true, we will certainly not let a criminal go unpunished..."

Then he turned to Kaito Watari and said, "Mr. Kaito, could you please come over here and cooperate with our investigation?"

Kaito Watari nodded, "Okay, but before that I need to explain something to my crew..."

With Megure's tacit consent, Kaito Wataru turned around and gave instructions to the crew members around him.

Everything seemed to be going well.

Conan looked at the successfully solved case and fastened the anesthetic needle launch aiming cover on his watch.

The guests at the venue gradually relaxed a little, and surviving the disaster put a smile on everyone's face.

As soon as Conan returned to the identity of the three little ones, he was questioned by them.

"Conan, where did you go?"

"Me? Hehe..."

Conan's mouth corners turned up slightly, he was certainly ready to be the "key man".

As a result, he failed to become Mr. Key, and Kusaka Hironari's detonator broke down at the critical moment.

But this guy's luck was too bad, the detonator broke. It was the first time that Conan encountered a bomber who ended up in such a hasty manner.

A hasty ending...

Suddenly, Conan's expression changed.

He remembered that in the previous Tokyo Tower bombing case, someone had disposed of the bomb planted by the bomber in advance and created a fake bomb for feinting.

And that person is Qin Zhibo.

The failure of the detonator this time was not just luck, but Qin Zhibo predicted the murderer's plan in advance and broke the detonator?

Moreover, Qin Zhibo once stayed in Rixia Guangcheng's room on the pretext of reading a script, and it is very likely that he took advantage of that time to do something.

Could it be that in this case, Uncle Maori was on the first floor, he was on the third floor, and Qin Zhibo stood directly on the fifth floor?

He solved the case early on and ruined the murderer's plan, and then chose not to take action in order to give himself a chance to perform.

This uncle...

Just as Conan was thinking, he heard the conversation between Sonoko and Mouri Ran from behind.

"That's weird, huh?"

"Sonoko, what's so strange?" Ran Mouri turned and looked at Sonoko.

Sonoko's eyes were a little puzzled, and she rested her chin on one hand as she recalled, "I remember my mother saying that the Yashiro Group owed our Suzuki family a big favor..."

"Fifteen years ago, the Yashiro Group faced a financial crisis, and it was Suzuki's investment that helped it overcome the crisis. To repay the favor, the Yashiro family even had their designer, Mr. Yashiro Hideto, design the Sabness for free."

"Did I remember it wrongly?"

Conan glanced back at Sonoko and frowned slightly.

If what Sonoko said is true, the way the Yashiro Group overcame the crisis 15 years ago was by seeking help from the Suzuki Group, not by committing insurance fraud.

So the sinking of the cargo ship 15 years ago was not caused by the eight generations of father and daughter and the vice-captain Kaito Watari blowing up the ship, but there must be another hidden reason...

boom!

Suddenly there was a loud bang at the bottom of the cabin.

The ground of the entire venue began to shake violently. The guests, who had just regained their composure, became instantly panicked. Screams and the crackling sounds of things breaking could be heard incessantly.

Megure looked around in panic and asked loudly: "What happened!?"

Cold sweat streamed down Shiratori's forehead. "Maybe something exploded..."

"Explosion?" Megure tilted his head to glance at the detonator in his hand, then turned to look at Kusaka Hironari, "Did you install other bombs?!"

The arrested Kusaka Hiroshige also shook his head in confusion

,"I have no idea……"

At this time, Kaito Watari also ran over and said to Megure, "Mr. Policeman, I need to check the damage to the ship now. I'm afraid I can't go with you for the time being."
