Conan Rick's Investigator

Perhaps she damaged the disk in this way in order to prevent herself from continuing to investigate everything about the organization from this disk.

Although Conan had this guess in his mind after realizing what happened, he did not question Haibara Ai in person.

Because Conan could see that Huiyuan Ai was just trying to escape her own fate in her own way...

At this moment, Hattori Heiji suddenly patted Conan's shoulder with his big hand, clearing away the gloom on Conan's face.

"Don't think too much, you still have me, right?"

"Although the case occurred in Tokyo, due to its significant impact, Osaka will likely also receive an order to assist in the investigation."

"Then I can help you inquire at the police station here..."

Feeling the support from his good friend, Conan once again realized that he was not fighting alone.

"Ah."

The two smiled at each other and agreed to deal with the case at hand first.

The first thing to do is to go to the restaurant and tell everyone the clues and relationships found, and by the way, see what Sadao Kujirai has confessed.

……

At the same time, Qin Zhibo, who was on the upper deck of the ship, was fighting alone.

The two members of the boy group went to the lower deck of the ship.

The other two members of the uncle group went to interrogate Sadao Kujirai, but Qin Zhibo felt that this person's panic was probably just an act.

If you ask at this time, you will fall into his trap or waste mission time. It is better to find the investigation point on the ship yourself.

Thanks to the fact that it is night now, any investigation point will be very obvious in Qin Zhibo's eyes and nothing will be missed.

Qin Zhibo found several investigation points on the railing of the ship's side.

【Survey√】

[Paint peeling and burnt marks on the railings]

Qin Zhibo guessed that this should be related to the method used by Kujirai Sadao to create the gunshot. After all, gunshots were heard outside when Kujirai Sadao was in the lounge.

Searching from the stern to the bow, Qin Zhibo saw a new investigation point on the railing at the bow.

【Survey√】

【Come over here and put your head down, there is a surprise! 】

Surprise investigation points can usually become the key to solving a case.

Qin Zhibo couldn't wait to walk to the railing and looked down according to the instructions at the investigation point.

When he saw the existence below, Qin Zhibo widened his eyes in surprise.

At the same time, behind Qin Zhibo, a figure was quietly approaching.

Chapter 359 Qin Zhibo fell into the water ×4

Qin Zhibo stuck his head over the railing and saw a person "hanging" on the bow of the boat.

Judging from the name floating above his head, he is none other than Kanie Korehisa who has disappeared for some time.

At this time, Kanie was tied to a rope ladder with one end tied to the bottom of the railing and the rest hanging outside the bow, just like the evil-repelling statues on the bow of an ancient sailboat.

Judging from the fact that there was no body above his head, Kanie Shiku is still alive.

In this case, the case would be very easy to solve. All we have to do is make Kanie Kojima confess who attacked him.

Although Kanie Shiku used to be an accomplice of Kujira Kujira, Kujira Kujira now has murderous intentions towards him. Moreover, once Kujira Kujira goes to jail for murder, the 4 million yen he robbed will be his alone.

In this way, Kanie Shiku has even less reason to protect Kujirai Sadao.

As long as Kanie Shiku is rescued, the case will be solved.

Qin Zhibo was just about to bend down to try and grab one end of the rope ladder with his hands when he suddenly felt something strange.

Qin Zhibo's gaze unconsciously passed over Kanie Shijiu's body and looked at the dark sea.

A sinister and oppressive atmosphere emanated from the sea. The sea, which seemed quiet and vast to ordinary people, looked like a densely packed tangible object in Qin Zhibo's eyes.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Qin Zhibo had a unique first-person perspective. He felt like a void walker, walking in a wild and silent land.

This wild land is filled with unspeakable horrors, like a black swamp stretching to the horizon, in which only abominable creatures covered in stinking mud are waving around.

This unchanging scenery was indeed like a quagmire, trapping Qin Zhibo's gaze in it and making him unable to extricate himself.

The sea water, like wings of dark biofilm, slapped against the iron sheet on the bottom of the ship, making a rustling sound. This was the only sound Qin Zhibo could hear in this dead silent, inky black "quagmire".

This boundless sea of darkness seems to form a unique and independent world.

Qin Zhibo just stood there quietly, watching...

Until the invisible darkness squirmed in front of Qin Zhibo's eyes, like invisible tentacles, climbing up Qin Zhibo's shoulders.

So Qin Zhibo jumped into the sea.

……

Not far behind Qin Zhibo, Kujirai Sadao was holding an iron rod and observing secretly.

Although Kogoro Mori and Shimaoki Kozaki wanted to interrogate him, these two people had no law enforcement power after all. As long as he insisted on not saying anything, these people would not be able to do anything to him.

While resting in the room, Kujirai Sadao hurried to the bow to confirm whether anyone had discovered Kanie Kokuhisa, who was hiding.

Because once this person is discovered, all your efforts will be wasted.

But as soon as he arrived at the bow, Kujirai Sadao discovered that Qin Zhibo, who was wearing a brown windbreaker, had walked into the forbidden place in his mind and was looking under the bow.

Adhering to the principle of going all out, Kujirai Sadao picked up a water pipe nearby and prepared to push Qin Zhibo into the water.

This is the Pacific Ocean, the largest and deepest ocean in the world. Human beings are not even a drop in the ocean in front of this ocean.

Even if Qin Zhibo could swim, he would not be able to hold on for too long. Without rescue, he would soon die of exhaustion.

So all Sadao Kujirai had to do was push Qin Zhibo into the water.

But just as Kujirai Sadao gripped the water pipe tightly with both hands and slowly approached from the blind spot behind Qin Zhibo, an unexpected situation occurred.

Qin Zhibo actually jumped up and fell headfirst!

Kujirai Sadao: “?”

Qin Zhibo's tall figure disappeared at the bow of the ship. Kujirai Sadao hurried over and stretched his head to look down.

The water near the bottom of the boat was pitch black, and the splash of water could not be seen at all, but Kujirai Sadao could clearly hear the loud sound of splashing water.

puff-

It seems that it really fell...

But why?

Kujirai Sadao was puzzled because there was no wind at sea just now, so there was no possibility that Qin Zhibo fell into the water because of losing balance.

And judging from his actions, Qin Zhibo definitely jumped into the water on his own initiative.

After thinking for a few seconds, Kujirai Sadao thought of the scene in the classic movie "Titanic" where the heroine committed suicide by jumping into the water.

Could it be that Qin Zhibo's trip was intended to commit suicide?

Japan is a country with a very high suicide rate, so it is not an exaggeration for Sadao Kujirai to have such thoughts.

However, most Japanese people who commit suicide choose to burn coal stoves at home, take sleeping pills, or hang themselves in the suicide forest.

This famous detective's method of suicide is truly... romantic...

Jumping into the sea to commit suicide is generally a way for lovers to commit suicide. For example, Dazai Osamu agreed to jump into the sea to commit suicide with his first girlfriend.

"But that great writer was able to survive, but you are not so lucky..."

Kujirai Sadao smiled with relief as he didn't have to do it himself, put the water pipe in his hand back in its place, and turned to leave.

……

In the vortex, Qin Zhibo's figure was rolling.

When the salty, bitter sea water rushed into his mouth and nose, no matter how crazy Qin Zhibo was, he could only follow his life instinct to wake up.

In the surging sea water, Qin Zhibo waved his arms vigorously and swam from underwater to the surface in the most reasonable posture.

Originally, Qin Zhibo could not swim, but fortunately, in a previous case, Qin Zhibo acquired the skill of swimming from a deceased person.

Although I haven't received any special training, this swimming skill is truly a lifesaver at the moment.

Qin Zhibo in the water swam with all his might like a frog, and finally poked his head out of the water before the last breath in his lungs was consumed.

"call--"

Qin Zhibo continued to paddle the sea water with his hands and feet to keep his body above water level.

Fortunately, the brown windbreaker Qin Zhibo was wearing was not made of absorbent fabric, otherwise it would have been much more difficult to continue such movements.

Looking up, Qin Zhibo found a brightly lit ship slowly passing by his side.

Qin Zhibo quickly took out the [Flying Claw] from the prop bar, wanting to use the power of the flying claw to grab the edge of the ship.

But the arms soaked in water could only exert limited strength, and the flying claw could not go up after flying three meters.

The investigator's hand bones at the front of the flying claw symbolically grabbed twice, but all they grabbed was the smooth iron sheet outside the ship and they couldn't hold on at all.

Sure enough, the game is full of lies...

Seeing that the flying claw could not help him get back on the boat, Qin Zhibo no longer wasted his energy, quickly put it away, and began to call for help.

But it was already late at night, and most of the people on the ship were staying indoors. There were almost no people on the sides and decks.

When one plan failed, Qin Zhibo tried another.

Qin Zhibo quickly took out the [Inspiration Gun], ejected all the bullets pre-stored in the barrel, and then made four improvised bullets and put them into the barrel.

The gun does not need to be aimed and will not be blocked by physical obstacles, so Qin Zhibo just needs to fire it in any direction of the ship.

whoosh-

The bullets sank into the iron sheet of the ship.

……

At this moment, Conan was walking back to the room with Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mouri.

Suddenly, Conan's body shook, and some strange thoughts suddenly appeared in his mind.

Qin Zhibo fell into the water——

Qin Zhibo fell into the water——

Qin Zhibo fell into the water——

Conan's eyes widened immediately, a drop of cold sweat appeared on his temple, and he looked back towards the bow of the ship.

Chapter 360 Drifting on the Pacific Ocean...

Conan didn't know why his brain suddenly had such an idea.

But when humans feel that an idea in their mind is not right or wrong, they always think of seeking advice from people around them, and Conan is no exception.

"Uncle, did you hear any strange sound of water?"

Conan didn't say it was the sound of someone falling into the water because that would create a psychological suggestion.

"Strange sound of water?" Maori Kogoro was stunned for a moment, then casually replied, "Maybe it's a dolphin jumping out of the water..."

Kogoro Mouri's answer made Conan believe that there was indeed a sound of someone falling into the water.

But why did I subconsciously think that Qin Zhibo fell into the water?

Conan was a little confused. At this moment, Mao Lilan looked at Conan with a frown and suddenly asked, "Conan, do you think Mr. Qin fell into the water?"

Conan was stunned by Mao Lilan's sudden words.

"Sister Xiaolan, are you also..."
