Conan Rick's Investigator

Facing the beautiful sunset, Mao Lilan opened her arms like the heroine in "Titanic", letting the afterglow of the sunset shine on her body.

"I am the king of the world!"

The girl's wish is simple and plain. Although it is a bit awkward, it is still very touching.

But Maori Kogoro looked at his daughter and said disdainfully: "This child has seen too many movies. What if the ship sinks?"

"What bad luck..."

Just then, a pot-bellied man in a white suit came over with a smile.

"Hahahaha, seeing the vast ocean dyed red by the setting sun, anyone would want to scream like her."

Qin Zhibo glanced at the information above the man's head. His name was Kujirai Sadao.

whale……

At this moment, a short-haired woman came over to the side of the ship, leaning on the railing and saying in a sad tone: "The sea is a good place to hide right and wrong, good and evil, whether it is beautiful moments or painful memories, and the same goes for corpses..."

Above the woman's head, Qin Zhibo saw the name Isogai Nagisa.

cowry……

Qin Zhibo felt that except for himself and Maori's family, the rest of the people who boarded the ship had discussed it together, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence that the names were all seafood.

It seems like fate has destined it...

At this moment, Ran Maoli at the bow suddenly put her palms in front of her eyes and made a gesture of looking into the distance.

"There seem to be dolphins over there!"

Upon hearing this, everyone, whether standing or sitting, immediately gathered towards the bow, wanting to admire the beautiful sight of dolphins jumping out of the sea at sunset.

"Really? It's a dolphin..."

Kogoro Mouri put one hand in his pocket and raised the other hand in front of his eyes to look around.

Conan wanted to jump over the railing to see, but Ran Mouri thought it was too dangerous, so she held Conan in her arms.

In the "special seat" of the girl Xiang, Conan saw the dolphins on the sea in the distance.

Although the distance was very far, about two or three nautical miles, we could see dolphins jumping on the sea surface, which was very active.

Against the backdrop of the sea, these dolphins are so tiny that even the details on their bodies are completely invisible, but just being able to see these dolphins makes people feel happy.

After all, this trip is nominally an Ogasawara Dolphin Tour, and the purpose of going out to sea is to see dolphins.

Everyone showed satisfied smiles, except Qin Zhibo, who sat on a chair and watched these people from afar.

Because of seasickness, Qin Zhibo didn't want to go close to the deck.

But seeing others watching dolphins, Qin Zhibo also felt a little itchy inside.

After all, seasickness is a physical problem for Qin Zhibo, not a psychological aversion.

There's nothing wrong with seeing dolphins occasionally...

So Qin Zhibo walked to the front of the deck and looked into the distance.

Under the setting sun, there were indeed a few dolphins jumping tirelessly on the sea.

In order to see more clearly, Qin Zhibo adjusted the field of view of his telescope so that he could see more clearly.

In that sea area, in addition to the dolphins jumping on the sea, there seemed to be some strange-looking creatures on the sea.

Only the head part of their body floats above the sea surface. It looks a little flat and is a dull green color.

Because the telescope's field of view was not magnified enough, Qin Zhibo was unable to see more clearly.

But I vaguely felt that it was the head of an animal between a fish and a frog?

When he realized this, Qin Zhibo's will began to decline quietly.

90, 89, 88...

Chapter 351 Polite Dolphin: “You?”

Qin Zhibo did not notice that his will was declining and was still staring at the "beautiful scenery" in the distance.

These fish heads float on the sea surface, making it impossible to see the body structure underneath.

They are not simply floating, but moving. The evidence is that the dolphins jumping on the sea surface can never get too far away from these fish heads.

Suddenly, a sharp black shadow shot out from the water, as fast as an arrow.

Immediately afterwards, a dolphin that was leaping high not far ahead seemed to be hit by the black shadow, and the graceful leaping arc came to an abrupt stop.

The dolphin that was hit rolled helplessly on the sea, but the other dolphins didn't care about their companions' lives and continued to flee in the original direction.

Like a school of fish smelling bait, the floating "fish heads" quickly surrounded the dolphin, their sharp claws clawing at its body...

……

“The dolphins seem very lively!”

Facing the cool sea breeze and witnessing the dolphins jumping freely in the sunset, Mao Lilan felt very comfortable and shouted loudly, "Hello! Dolphins!"

The innocent side of Ran Mouri moved Conan in his arms a little. The redness on her face was not sure whether it was caused by the sunset or the secretion of adrenaline.

Maori Kogoro, who was standing next to him, was as clueless as ever. He said with a tone of disdain, "Those dolphins can't hear you if you shout at them here."

"And they don't understand what you are saying..."

Mao Lilan was a little embarrassed after being taught a lesson, but then she immediately replied: "Of course I know that dolphins can't hear and don't understand, I just want to express my happiness!"

Looking at the Maori father and daughter who looked like a pair of bickering lovers, everyone around them smiled.

Only Qin Zhibo kept gazing into the distance, watching the fate of the "left behind" dolphin.

Several fish-headed monsters surrounded the dolphin and bit its body with their mouths.

The teeth of these creatures were extremely sharp and they quickly cut the dolphin's body into several pieces, with a large amount of blood spreading across the sea surface.

But thanks to the fact that the sea was now under sunset, the unique orange-red halo enveloped the entire sea area, making it impossible for people far away to see the large bloodstains on the sea.

Only through Qin Zhibo's telescope could one discover that the sea water in that area was obviously more red than the surrounding sea areas.

After these fish-headed monsters separated the dolphin's body, they each held their own piece of dolphin meat and dived into the deep sea, completely disappearing from the sea surface.

At this point, Qin Zhibo realized that these fish-headed monsters were hunting dolphins, and those dolphins were running for their lives.

In this sea area, they are predators superior to dolphins.

At the same time, a prompt came from Qin Zhibo's system.

[Sighting a mysterious creature, gain 200 Mythical Knowledge Skill Proficiency]

[Obtained the task, hunting order from the yellow will]

[Mission Content: Hunt a mysterious creature]

[Task requirements: no time limit, no location limit]

[Quest Reward: 3000 Skill Proficiency, 400 Mythical Knowledge Skills]

The content of the task is easy to understand, and this is not the first time Qin Zhibo has encountered this type of task.

The last time was at Shanni Temple, and the mission was to hunt Mi-Go.

However, this time no specific time and place were given, and the task was more like an achievement task.

Just when Qin Zhibo was thinking about how to complete this task, the waiter on the ship informed everyone that dinner was ready and they could go and eat.

The dolphins on the sea just disappeared from sight. Satisfied, Mao Lilan put Conan back on the ground in her arms, "What a wonderful dolphin show! Right, Conan?"

"Yeah." Conan nodded vigorously, and in order to occasionally consolidate his own personality, he said cutely: "Those dolphins must know that we are watching them, so they are performing hard!"

Qin Zhibo: "..."

Polite Dolphin: "You?"

……

The dinner on the boat is Western food, with unlimited steak and red wine.

"But there are only a few of us on such a big ship. It really seems a bit deserted..."

The waiter pouring wine echoed Maori Kogoro's words and said, "This guest is right. Even if we add the two guests resting in the room, there are only 11 guests."

Conan, who was chewing on steak, looked up and asked, "Does that include me?"

"Ah, if you include the children, that makes 12 guests..."

Conan's face darkened.

Qin Zhibo felt that the remaining two people might be victims, so he asked, "What do those two guests do?"

"Yes……"

The waiter, who had been fooled by Qin Zhibo's rhetoric, pulled out a list from his pocket. "One of these two guests claims to be a detective, and the other is an oceanographer. As for their names..."

"His name is Ye Sancai."

When the waiter said this name, the atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly changed. All the people whose names contained the word "seafood" widened their eyes and showed surprised expressions.

"Ye Sancai... I seem to have heard this name somewhere..."

Kogoro Mouri held his chin in thought, while Shimaharu Kagawa opposite him couldn't help but slam the table and stood up.

"Are you kidding me? Have you forgotten?"

"He's the mastermind behind the 400 million yuan robbery and murder case that you and I investigated together 20 years ago. He's the shadow planner—Ye Sancai!"

Kogoro Mouri felt a little confused when he was yelled at, because he was only 17 years old twenty years ago. How could he join the Metropolitan Police Department and work on cases with Shima Osamu Kozaki?

I feel that this name is familiar, and it is likely that I heard about this case from the news.

However, Kogoro Mori could also understand Shimaji Kagawa. It might be because he heard the name of the criminal he had tracked down before that he became so angry that he made such a low-level mistake.

"Team leader, let's go together and confirm if this is the person!"

Kogoro Mori volunteered, and Shimaharu Kagawa nodded with satisfaction.

Qin Zhibo, who felt that a side quest might be about to be triggered, also took the initiative and said, "I'll go too."

Conan, who had been sitting in the child seat just now, jumped down at some point and stood next to the group of adults with a serious face.

……

At the door of Room 101, the master key in the waiter's hand trembled slightly.

The waiter heard from the detectives and police that the person in the room might be a criminal, and he couldn't help but feel scared.

Kogoro Mouri comforted him and the waiter used the key to unlock the door.

Shimaharu Kagawa rushed in first, followed by Kogoro Mori and Tomohiro Qin.

However, the moment he entered the room, Qin Zhibo saw clearly through the night vision goggles that there was no one in the room.

There was no one in the room, not even any luggage, and the bed was tidy.

But Shimaharu Kazuoka did not give up and said that he would go down to look for it. Tomohiro Qin and Kogoro Maori were responsible for the middle and upper levels respectively.

The three people parted ways at the door of Room 101.

After secretly evaluating the strength of the three people, Conan decisively chose to follow Qin Zhibo.

Chapter 352 Qin Zhibo is scared...

Conan followed Qin Zhibo because he actually wanted to get closer to the "correct answer".

Even if it was a case where a deceased person had already appeared, Conan still wanted to solve the case through his own efforts.

But in a case like this where the criminal has just been discovered and there should be no dead people on the ship, Conan, with the idea of saving lives, still wants to secretly look at the "correct answer" and find it before the criminal commits a crime.

Although at this stage you may not be able to discover anything by following Qin Zhibo, it is completely a matter of luck, but in fact, luck is also a kind of strength.

And Qin Zhibo seems to have good luck?

Qin Zhibo glanced at Conan who was following beside him, and didn't say anything, tacitly agreeing with this little follower.
