Conan Rick's Investigator

Based on the experience he often gained at crime scenes, Qin Zhibo felt that the "seafood" in the restaurant should have some relationship with the Black Shadow Planner - Ye Sancai.

But those people are still alive so far.

In this case, the detective who has not yet appeared among the 11 guests is a bit suspicious and may have already been killed.

So Qin Zhibo asked the waiter which room the detective was staying in.

Coincidentally, the room 102 next door is the detective's residence.

Qin Zhibo knocked on the door tentatively a few times, but no sound came from inside.

It's probably cold...

"Waiter, please open the door."

Conan on the side was a little confused, "Don't you need to knock a few more times?"

"I wouldn't have to knock so much if you were here." Qin Zhibo answered honestly.

Conan: "?"

Conan was a little confused as he didn't understand the necessary connection between his being here and knocking on the door, but he didn't ask any more questions.

After all, Qin Zhibo might have discovered something with his amazing observation skills...

The waiter opened the door at Qin Zhibo's instruction. Qin Zhibo walked in and first sniffed the air.

Although it was very slight, there was still a disgusting smell.

Conan, who was standing by, sniffed and also smelled the scent.

Is there a dead person in the room?

Conan was a little surprised and understood why Qin Zhibo said there was no need to knock on the door.

Qin Zhibo turned on the light in the room. Conan, eager to solve the case, hurried around the corner of the room and saw a single bed.

On the single bed, a person with slightly dark skin was lying with half of the quilt covering him.

And this person is not a stranger, he is the Osaka Black Chicken - Hattori Heiji.

Conan widened his eyes in surprise, unable to believe that it was Hattori Heiji who was hit this time.

"Hey! Hattori!"

"Hattori!"

Conan yelled and quickly jumped onto the bed, shaking Hattori Heiji's body desperately out of control.

If it was a deceased passerby, Conan would be able to treat it calmly as a corpse.

But when faced with the tragic death of his best friend, Conan couldn't remain calm.

However, before Conan could shake for a few seconds, Hattori Heiji "came back to life".

Hattori Heiji suddenly stood up and roared, "Didn't I tell you not to bother me unless the ship is about to sink?"

"Eh? Kudo, why are you here?"

Conan, startled by Hattori Heiji's "resurrection", angrily punched Hattori Heiji's chest with his little fist and said unhappily: "I didn't expect it to be you..."

……

With Hattori Heiji's explanation, Qin Zhibo and Conan learned about his experience before and after boarding the ship.

It turns out that Hattori Heiji boarded the ship not through a lottery, but someone sent the commission fee and an old 10,000 yen bill to his home and asked him to take the ship.

Hattori Heiji came here only to return the money and see what was going on.

As a result, on the way to Tokyo, because the weather turned cold, Hattori Heiji caught a cold, and after getting on the ship, he felt a little seasick, so he rested in the room all the time.

As for the unpleasant smell in the room, it was from the breakfast and lunch I vomited after arriving here.

"Don't you know how to flush the toilet?" Conan looked at him with some disdain.

"Hey! It's not my fault. The ventilation in this room isn't very good, and the toilet is a little clogged..."

Hattori Heiji said this while glancing at Qin Zhibo next to him.

In fact, when he was woken up by Conan just now, Hattori Heiji remembered that he subconsciously called out "Kudo".

I don't know if he heard it or not...

Now Hattori Heiji couldn't ask anymore, he could only repeat to himself "This guy didn't hear it" x number of times.

……

Next, Hattori Heiji also joined the search team.

However, after searching the entire ship, they did not find Ye Sancai, who was the first one to board the ship.

Everyone could only sit on the deck to rest for a while, and by the way, Kazuaki Shimaji explained the story of "Ye Sancai" to others.

Ye Sancai, a criminal planner active twenty years ago, often confuses the police with his detailed plans and unparalleled skills, hence the nickname "Shadow Planner".

This person would immediately change his partner after each crime, and one of his characteristics was that he did not kill anyone during the crime.

However, twenty years ago, he accidentally killed a man during a bank robbery, and no one has seen him since then.

There were rumors that he was killed by his accomplices, because shortly after the case broke out, the police salvaged a bloody shirt with bullet marks and blood stains from the sea.

However, Kazuo Kazuo insisted that this was just Ye Sancai's plan to get away, asking the police to give up the search and wait until the statute of limitations for the case was over before he could escape justice.

Today is the last day of the 12-year civil prosecution period. As long as it is past midnight, even if Ye Sancai stands in front of these detectives and former police officers and shows off his wealth with a lot of money, no one can do anything.

After the case was explained, just as Jiao Qidaozhi was about to continue looking for Ye Sancai, Qin Zhibo raised a very important question.

"Excuse me, is the name 'Ye Sancai' the real name of this criminal planner, or is it a pseudonym?"

Jiao Qidaozhi was stunned for a moment and replied, "Of course it's a pseudonym. It is said that this person often uses the pseudonym 'Ye Sancai' to communicate with his criminal partner."

Qin Zhibo nodded thoughtfully. This way, he would not be able to find out Ye Sancai's true identity through handshake investigation.

The so-called Ye Sancai may not be a stranger hiding on the ship, but may be one of the passengers.

Just as Qin Zhibo was thinking, a sea breeze blew and everyone present felt a hint of coolness.

Qin Zhibo subconsciously looked up at the sea and the deep darkness.

Suddenly, in Qin Zhibo's sight, a sinister and evil aura emanated from the sea surface towards the South Pacific.

Where the sea and the sky meet, several dark cirrus clouds are wriggling in an indescribable way.

Qin Zhibo couldn't tell whether this was a normal weather change or a strange sight that only he could see.

At this time, Mao Lilan came to the deck to find someone to accompany her in the restaurant. Qin Zhibo, who was a little timid, immediately took the initiative to take on the task of being the flower protector.

Chapter 353 Friend...Have you heard of Joker?

In the restaurant, besides the "coward" Qin Zhibo, Hattori Heiji and Conan were also with Mao Lilan.

Hattori Heiji originally wanted to follow Shimaharu Kozaki to continue searching for Ye Sancai, but Ran Mouri actually invited him to "protect" herself from the beginning.

Hattori Heiji just woke up and felt very hungry, and wanted to go to the restaurant to have something to eat, so he agreed.

As for Conan, he was forcibly carried over by Ran Mouri.

Hattori Heiji stuffed food into his mouth while telling Ran Mouri that he came here after receiving a letter of commission.

"Oh, so that's how it is..." Mao Lilan nodded, then suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Why didn't you come with Ye?"

puff--

Hattori Heiji spit out the coffee in his mouth and frantically explained, "Why did that woman have to be here? She's not related to me..."

"I'm not like you guys, hanging out together all day long."

When Hattori Heiji said the first sentence, Qin Zhibo saw the vagueness in his eyes.

It smells like a lie.

The second sentence that Hattori Heiji said was originally intended to counterattack and kill Ran Mouri, but Ran Mouri had a face full of question marks.

If Ran Mouri knew that Hattori Heiji was saying that she and Kudo Shinichi were together all day, she would definitely be shy, and Hattori Heiji's counterattack would be successful.

But Ran Mouri didn't know that Kudo was right next to her, so Hattori Heiji accidentally killed his good brother.

Conan quickly waved his hands and shook his head, telling Hattori Heiji to stop talking nonsense.

Hattori Heiji also realized that he had said the wrong thing. After all, Qin Zhibo was sitting here, and saying such words would easily make the other party doubt Conan's true identity.

"Ahaha~ I mean, you and Uncle Maori have a really good relationship, you're together all day long..."

Just as Hattori Heiji continued to pretend to be ignorant, a beautiful young lady came up from behind and started to chat with him.

"I didn't expect the last detective on this ship to be so young..."

"It's okay..." Hattori Heiji replied.

Qin Zhibo looked at the name above her head, it was Isogai Nagisa.

"How is it? Have you found the man named Ye Sancai?"

When saying this, Isogai Nagisa was looking at Qin Zhibo, because in her judgment, this uncle-level detective looked more reliable.

Qin Zhibo shook his head, "No."

"Oh..." There was a hint of depression in Isogai Nagisa's eyes, but then he suggested that everyone go to the lounge to play poker.

Ran Mouri and Conan, who had nothing to do, readily accepted the offer, and other "seafood" in the restaurant also went there.

……

On the rear deck of the cruise ship, Kogoro Mori and Shimaharu Kagawa successfully met.

"Maori, did you find it?"

"No, I can't find it anywhere."

Kazuki Shimaji walked up to the fence and placed his hand on the cold railing. "Where on earth did he disappear to?"

Maori Kogoro looked at his watch and said, "Damn, there's less than an hour left..."

And Kagaki Shimaji looked out at the dark sea and said in a deep voice: "Mori, I will never give up."

"I will fight for this case until the very last second. I will never give up, and I will never give up..."

Looking at Shimaji Kagawa's trembling hands holding the railing, Kogoro Mori couldn't bear it.

Although this old case strictly speaking had nothing to do with him, it was because Kazuo Kagawa made a mistake and thought that he had also participated in the investigation of this case.

But in the current situation, Kogoro Mori cannot let his former team leader fight alone.

"Captain Kozaki, let's look for it again!"

"That's fine! Let's search thoroughly again!"

The two men continued to work on the boat for clues.

……

"Sorry, this is Full House~"

At the poker table, Ran Mao Li showed the cards in her hand with a smile on her face.

Qin Zhibo, who was sitting at the bar, took a quick look and realized that the so-called Full House was the "3+2" hand pattern, which is called "three with two" in Landlord.

Once this round of cards is over, it also means that Ebina Minoru, who has the smallest card, will withdraw from the game and let someone else come up to play.

Everyone in the lounge had sat at the card table once, so Qin Zhibo, who had never sat at the card table before, had to replace them.

Qin Zhibo is really not confident about his luck, so he has never been very interested in card games.

Who plays a losing game?

Especially since the top European star Ran Mouri is sitting opposite her at the table, in the face of absolute luck, all the fancy card-drawing behaviors are meaningless struggles.

Fortunately, people here don’t play cards with money, so Qin Zhibo just wants to quickly win a game and then leave the table.

The people at the card table included Ran Mouri, who had never changed her seat, Hattori Heiji, and Kanie Korekyu. Conan sat next to Ran Mouri to supervise the game.

While the game was going on, Hattori Heiji noticed that Kanie Shiku was often checking his watch, so he asked in confusion, "You seem to be very concerned about the time. Is there something wrong?"

Kanie Shiku gave a mysterious smile, "It's just an ordinary day..."
