Conan Rick's Investigator

At this time, Suzuki Sonoko, who was confused about something, asked, "What is hemophilia? Is it difficult to treat?"

Before Nishino Masato could answer, Conan started to explain science.

"Hemophilia is a genetic bleeding disorder. People with hemophilia have severe coagulation disorders. They have low levels of clotting factors in their bodies, which can cause bleeding from damaged blood vessels. This disease is still incurable with modern medical technology."

"It is said that Crown Prince Alexei inherited his hemophilia from the Empress, right?"

Nishino Masato nodded in surprise, "That's right... but how can a little kid like you know so much?"

Before Conan could answer, Suzuki Sonoko on the side said: "This kid just knows some weird knowledge."

"Did you see this on TV again, Conan?"

Conan nodded blankly, "Yes..."

After the introduction, Nishino Masato continued, "Since then, Rasputin has become a frequent visitor to the palace, and it is said that he even had an affair with the empress."

"When this news reached Nicholas II, he immediately ordered Rasputin to be expelled from the palace."

"But strangely, as soon as Rasputin left the palace, Tsarevich Alexei's condition worsened. He had to invite Rasputin back to the palace before he could recover."

"This 'divine power' completely succumbed to Nicholas II, who loved his son dearly and had to give in to Rasputin in everything."

"In addition to curing hemophilia, Rasputin's prophetic abilities also astonished the royal family."

"He once predicted that the crystal chandelier in the nursery would fall from the ceiling, and a few days later, the huge chandelier actually fell down."

"There was also a time when Tsarevich Alexei was out hunting with Nicholas II when he suddenly developed a high fever and a profuse nosebleed. It was Rasputin, thousands of miles away, who predicted that the Tsarevich would recover the next day, and this prediction came true."

"In 1916, war broke out and Nicholas II led the army in person. Domestic power fell into the hands of the Empress, but in reality it was held by Rasputin."

"He used his power to dismiss officials at will and had relationships with a large number of noble women. It was also during this period that rumors circulated that he had affairs with the four daughters of Nicholas II."

"Rasputin's behavior gradually aroused the dissatisfaction of the nobles, so the princes, grand dukes and parliamentarians at the time secretly planned to kill Rasputin."

"They first fed Rasputin eight pieces of poisonous cakes mixed with potassium cyanide and a bottle of Madeira wine mixed with potassium cyanide, but Rasputin showed no reaction at all, as if nothing had happened."

"Then the prince, unable to bear it any longer, fired a shot at Rasputin, hitting him in the lung and knocking him to the ground."

"Just when everyone thought the 'evil monk' was dead, Rasputin suddenly came back to life, grabbed the prince by the throat, threatened to hang everyone, then broke free from their uniforms and fled to the courtyard."

"In the courtyard, Rasputin was shot three more times, including once in the head."

"But do you think that's the end of it?" Nishino Masato kept the question a secret, then said, "Everyone realized that Rasputin never bathed, and that bathing would weaken his magical powers, so they decided to throw Rasputin's body into the glacier."

"The body was found the next day, but the medical examiner concluded that Rasputin had drowned because his lungs were filled with water. Rasputin had survived underwater for at least eight minutes before he died."

The story of the Russian evil monk Rasputin finally ended, and Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, who had been fascinated by it, also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Does this Rasputin really have 'supernatural powers'?" asked Suzuki Sonoko.

Before Nishino Masato could answer, Conan spoke again, "Of course divine power cannot exist. Science is the only truth in this world."

"The so-called power of prophecy is actually just sawing off the chain on the chandelier in advance, so that you can make the so-called 'prophecy'."

"There are also cases where people don't die from eating potassium cyanide. This is probably because the technology for producing potassium cyanide was underdeveloped at the time, resulting in the potassium cyanide poison being of poor quality, so it couldn't kill people."

"Let him try the potassium cyanide now?"

"As for the pistol not being able to kill him, it's probably because it didn't hit him at all, or the bullet was too weak to cause a fatal injury."

"And then there's the hemophilia thing. Didn't he completely recover from it? Maybe he just seduced the young Crown Prince and made some kind of pact with him to feign illness..."

"In short, divine power absolutely does not exist. The truth behind these 'miracles' must be very ordinary."

“We must believe in science!”

Conan's series of speeches tried his best to deny that Rasputin possessed divine power.

Qin Zhibo, who was standing next to him, listened to the whole thing without agreeing or refuting.

Because in Koizumi Hongzi's magic class, Qin Zhibo heard Koizumi Hongzi explain that if a magician sheds tears, he will lose his magic power.

In addition, some wizards have taboo conditions that weaken existing magic power.

For example: taking a bath with water.

Chapter 223: Shi Kaobing is Xi Ye Zhenren?

Of course, Qin Zhibo didn't need to explain this knowledge to the people at the tea party, so he continued to listen to Conan's theory about believing in science.

Conan denies the authenticity of these supernatural stories because he is afraid of Ran Mouri, who is afraid of monsters and demons.

Conan: Oh, having a childhood friend who's afraid of ghosts is really worrying...

……

At dusk, at the invitation of Shiro Suzuki, everyone on the ship went to the deck to watch the sunset.

Under the blood-red setting sun, Pu Siqinglan crossed her legs. Her pair of tall, beautiful legs made the slightly drunk Maori Kogoro next to her praise her bluntly, "What a beautiful view!"

Conan threw a half-moon eye: I really can’t stand this old man…

Qin Zhibo looked around the deck. Except for Suzuki Sonoko who was taken somewhere else by Maori Ran for a private chat with her best friend, all other invited guests and the host were on the deck.

If nothing unexpected happens, the surprise tonight will be that one of the members on deck will be randomly selected as the deceased and easily go die.

Qin Zhibo picked up the malt whiskey he ordered and took a sip, once again tasting the familiar malt aroma.

Ever since he ordered malt whiskey at the cocktail bar last time, Qin Zhibo has had a liking for this drink.

At this moment, the freelance video writer Ryu Kankawa, who was sitting across the table, suddenly turned sideways, as if to show off, letting the silver ring hanging around his neck sparkle in the setting sun.

The sharp-eyed Pu Siqinglan immediately recognized the ring, her eyes widened, and she asked, "Mr. Hanchuan, your ring..."

"As expected of a Romanov dynasty researcher, you've noticed it. Do you want to come and take a look?"

Hanchuan Long took off the ring and handed it to Pu Siqinglan for careful identification.

The word "Maria" was engraved on the ring, which made Pu Siqinglan feel that this was most likely the ring owned by Maria, the third daughter of Nicholas II.

"Where did you get this?"

Han Chuanlong smiled slightly, took the ring and necklace back from Pu Siqinglan's hand, and said slowly, "It's not a very remarkable origin. I came across it by chance when I was visiting an antique market in China about seven years ago."

Maori Kogoro on the side said in surprise: "So Mr. Samukawa has been to China. If this ring is real, then it's really a great bargain!"

"Well, as a freelance image writer, of course I have to travel the world looking for inspiration."

Hanchuan Long raised his hair proudly, "And I got more than just this ring during my trip to China. I gained something even greater..."

After saying that, Hanchuan Long left the deck with his hands in his pockets.

On the way out, Ryu Kankawa attracted the attention of everyone on the deck.

The art dealer Qian Jiangyi on the second deck, Sergei on the port deck, and the hook-nosed old butler brought by Kosaka Natsumi to the cabin door.

Everyone watched him as if he were a dead person waiting to be buried.

At this moment, Qin Zhibo seemed to already know who the dead person was tonight.

As for the reason, it may be related to his trip to China.

Looking at all the people related to China on the entire ship, it seems that the only one is Pu Siqinglan, who speaks fluent Shanghai dialect.

Is it...

……

As night fell, Hanchuan Long was drinking alone in his room.

Bang, bang, bang.

There was a knock on the door, and Hanchuan Long pursed his lips and said, "I'm here."

When the door opened, Hanchuan Long was shocked to see Xiao Hei standing at the door.

"How could it be you?"

"Isn't that the woman?"

Before Hanchuan Long could continue asking questions, Xiao Hei fluently took out a pistol from his bag, and the laser sight under the muzzle shot a red laser dot on Hanchuan Long's right eye.

"Wait, wait a minute..."

"I don't want it anymore! I'll give you all those videotapes, I..."

boom--

Before Hanchuan Long could finish his beg for mercy, a faint gunshot rang out in the room, contrasting sharply with the loud sound of Hanchuan Long's body falling to the floor.

But even this sound was not enough to attract anyone's attention, because there were not many people on the cruise ship at the moment, and the rooms that people had were far apart.

Putting away the silenced pistol, Xiao Hei walked up to Han Chuanlong and said in a somewhat broken Chinese: "Mr. He sends his regards to you. Be careful in your next life..."

After saying that, Xiao Hei quickly fumbled around the room. He first found all the videotapes in Hanchuan Long's bag and packed them up and took them away. Before leaving, he pulled off the necklace hanging around Hanchuan Long's neck.

"It doesn't belong to you..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Hei disappeared in the bright corridor, leaving only the open room where Hanchuan Long, whose right eye was blown out, lay stiffly on the floor.

And on the wall of the door frame, a spider that shouldn't be there was lying on the wall.

……

Soon, Hanchuan Long's body was found by the waiter on the ship.

All the people on board gathered together, and the police rushed to the cruise ship by helicopter as soon as they received the alarm.

On the tarmac, the familiar Inspector Megure walked down with his hat covering his head, followed by his subordinates such as Shiratori Jinsaburo and Takagi Wataru who suddenly returned to the team during their vacation.

Since the detective was on the boat, the preliminary on-site investigation work had been completed, and Kogoro Mouri directly stated the conclusion.

"All the videotapes in the victim's bag are gone, as is the Maria ring around her neck."

"These must have been done by Skou Bing!"

Officer Megure, who had just joined the show, was surprised and asked in confusion, "Scooping? Could he be the international criminal who specializes in sniping people in the right eye?"

It seems that Inspector Megure is not just a slacker at his job, he actually has some knowledge of international criminals.

"Yes." Maori Kogoro nodded, "He is the international criminal who specializes in stealing treasures from the Romanov dynasty."

"This time in Osaka, it was that Scorch who sniped Kaito Kid, causing him to fall into the sea. His life or death is still unknown."

"That's probably the reason why I killed Mr. Kamikawa Ryu and took the Maria Ring from his neck."

"And the videotape that was taken away. Mr. Kankawa Ryu has a habit of filming whatever he wants. Maybe he captured the true face of Scott Skoubing on it, which is why it was taken away."

At this moment, Suzuki Sonoko looked around and finally found that there was a living person missing in the hall.

"Dad, where's Mr. Nishino?"

Shiro Suzuki glanced at the hall and found that he did not see his secretary Masato Nishino.

"Nishino... seems to be missing?"

"what!"

Maori Kogoro yelled, holding his chin in his hand and said suspiciously, "There's such a big commotion here, it's unreasonable for him not to notice it..."

At this time, Takagi Wataru ran in from outside and reported: "Officer Megure, the crew just counted and found that one of the cruise ship's lifeboats is missing!"

Inspired by this, Maori Kogoro immediately pointed his finger into the air and shouted, "I know the criminal!"

"The criminal is Mr. Nishino!"

"And...Scorbing is also him!"

Chapter 224 Please give me one too

"What? Mr. Nishino is a Scorch Soldier!"

Suzuki Sonoko exclaimed and looked at Suzuki Shiro next to her, but Suzuki Shiro was not sure whether he had made a mistake in hiring the right person.

But hiring an international criminal as a secretary is no small matter. If things go wrong, you might also be implicated.

Suzuki Shiro then stood up and asked, "Could there be some misunderstanding here? Nishino is usually very humble..."

"There's absolutely no misunderstanding, Mr. Suzuki." Maori Kogoro smiled confidently, "A person's appearance can be disguised, let alone an international criminal like Skoubing."
