Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 1373: Unexpected Person

Conan stared at the gradually fading horror mural on the wall, unable to let it go for a long time.

The rain soaked the children's suit on his body. When the wind blew, a chill came from behind, which woke him up from his shock.

"drink……"

Conan took a deep breath, quickly retracted his gaze, turned around and ran towards the front deck.

He didn't dare look at this creepy mural any longer.

Although he didn't understand what the creator wanted to express, it was definitely not something that humans could understand...

Moreover, this painting also gave him an ominous premonition.

It seemed that the shipwreck was not the end, but just the beginning of everything.

All he could do now was to find Kogoro Mori as soon as possible and leave the ship.

Thinking of this, Conan turned on the signal receiving function of the black technology glasses.

Kogoro Mouri had previously snatched the cufflinks given to him by Professor Agasa. These cufflinks had the function of eavesdropping and now they came in handy.

At this moment, the low voice of Kogoro Mori was coming from the legs of his glasses.

……

On the balcony outside the captain's room, Kaito Watari listened to the crew's report from the intercom and confirmed that all passengers had been evacuated.

"Well, I see..."

"I will leave alone on the life raft later, so you guys should leave first."

"Yes."

After hanging up the intercom, Kaito Watari walked back to the captain's room and looked around.

This captain's room had only been in use for two days when it was about to sink to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

He walked over to the huge rudder and touched the new paint on it.

"Ugh……"

A hint of pity flashed across Kaito Wataru's eyes, and he turned around and was about to walk out of the captain's room.

But at this moment, a slender figure gradually emerged from the darkness in the captain's room.

"Aren't you going to live and die with the ship?"

"Mr. Captain..."

Kaito Wataru stopped and looked back, and saw the woman walking out of the shadows, it was Akiyoshi Miwako, and he was instantly shocked.

"What are you doing here? The ship is about to sink, why don't you leave now..."

Before he could finish his words, Akiyoshi Miwako interrupted him.

"Do you still remember this?"

“This is my father’s favorite thing when he was alive…”

As she spoke, she took out a paper boat from her arms and placed it on the table next to her.

Hai Teng Du stared at the paper boat on the table. The unique way of folding it made him think of a person.

"Could it be that you are..."

"That's right, I am the daughter of Captain Okita who was killed by you and the Yashiro father and daughter fifteen years ago!"

Kaito Watari was surprised.

Akiyoshi Miwako raised the spear gun in her hand, aimed at the center of Kaito Watari's brow, and said with a pair of beautiful eyes, suppressing anger: "I'm sorry, I have already destroyed the remaining life raft."

"You, how did you..."

"Shut up!" Akiyoshi Miwako shouted, then looked around, "It seems a bit cramped here, let's go outside where there's more space and talk slowly."

Kaito Watari raised his eyebrows, but because of the harpoon in the other party's hand, he could only obey.

The two of them walked through the corridor that had begun to tilt and arrived at the deck at the bow.

The sea breeze here is mixed with the drizzle of rain, splashing on the ground to form a 10cm high layer of light water mist.

The two men standing on the deck felt as if they were facing off against old enemies, except that one of them was forced to raise his hands. The outcome of this duel was in no doubt.

"Akiyoshi... Ms. Okita, I think you may have misunderstood something..."

"Misunderstand?"

Akiyoshi Miwako held the spear gun and sneered, "Humph, what's there to misunderstand?"

"Half a year ago, Kusaka said he wanted to help write a script for a TV series, and then came to interview me. However, it seemed that he was more concerned about the Yashiro father and daughter, which had nothing to do with the interview. He looked very suspicious."

"So I secretly checked the computer while he was in the bathroom..."

"Only after seeing this did I realize the truth behind the accidental sinking of the Yashiro Maru fifteen years ago... It turns out this was Kusaka's real purpose."

"The next day I went to ask the Eighth Generations Englishman and gave him some strong liquor, and he told me everything."

"The fact that the shipwreck was not an accident, but was planned by humans."

"But he never expected that I was Okita's daughter..."

Akiyoshi Miwako was getting closer and closer, and the arrow of the harpoon in her hand was getting closer and closer to Kaito Watari.

Kaito Watari subconsciously wanted to retreat, but Akiyoshi Miwako shouted directly, "Don't move!"

"I will make you go to hell with the Yashiro father and daughter, just like my poor father who died innocently and tragically!"

Hai Teng Du raised his hands and quickly explained, "In fact, the truth 15 years ago is not what you think..."

"Shut up! I don't want to hear your excuses now!"

"Go to hell!"

Akiyoshi Miwako's fingers gradually exerted force, and the trigger was pressed down deeper and deeper.

But at this moment, a magnetic male voice sounded from the other side of the deck.

"stop!"

The sound of wind and rain did not drown out the man's voice. Akiyoshi Miwako, who was about to kill her enemy, suddenly turned around and saw a mature man in a black suit standing there.

"You are indeed the real murderer, Akiyoshi Miwako."

Kogoro Mouri walked towards us calmly from not far away, with his hands in his pockets.

Seeing this, Akiyoshi Miwako quickly turned the gun around and pointed it at the approaching Maori Kogoro, "Stop, don't come over here!"

"Hmph..." Maori Kogoro chuckled and shrugged, "Sorry, the gun is broken."

"I was trying to tamper with the gun by pretending I had to go to the bathroom, but it had somehow become broken."

Hearing this, Akiyoshi Miwako was stunned for a moment, then pulled the trigger several times.

But as Kogoro Mori said, the arrow on the spear gun just couldn't be fired.

"cut!"

Akiyoshi Miwako threw the spear gun aside and shrugged her shoulders as if she had accepted her fate.

"Forget it. The result is the same anyway. I destroyed the life raft. The three of us will die on this ship in the end..."

Kogoro Mori smiled slightly, not moved at all.

"But even so, I still have to make inferences..."

"Because it's the nature of a detective to uncover the truth."

As Kogoro Mouri spoke, he walked to the front of the deck. His leather shoes stepped on the rain, making a "chi chi" sound as they rubbed against the floor.

"According to my reasoning, you probably knew in advance that Kusaka was planning to kill Yashiro and the others..."

"However, his plan has too many flaws and will never succeed."

"So you used Kusaka's alibi to create an alibi for yourself and started your own revenge plan." "First, you installed a different bomb than Kusaka's. This is a ship you designed yourself, so you know exactly where its fatal weakness is."

"Then around 10 o'clock this morning, after talking to Kusaka on the phone, you left the room while he was reading a story, knocked out President Takae while he was taking a bath, put on a bathrobe, and pretended to be the president."

"Then you who sneaked into the room, Kusaka, and you who are standing in a bathrobe, are the president."

"And you pretended to wrest the knife from him, and in the process you pierced the fake plasma that was prepared in advance, making Kusaka think that he had achieved his goal."

"After he leaves the room, you will kill the real President Guijiang, wipe the fake plasma off the floor, put on your windbreaker and leave the room."

Hearing Kogoro Mori gradually exposing his murder plan, Akiyoshi Miwako, who was already prepared to die, did not panic. Instead, she looked at the man in front of her with a hint of amusement.

Seeing that she didn't refute, Maori Kogoro continued: "Then you came to the underground dock, and happened to see the Eighth Generation President pressing on Kusaka and strangling his neck."

"So you immediately ran over to the two of them and grabbed the president's legs..."

"Huh?" Akiyoshi Miwako's expression suddenly became shocked.

From Akiyoshi Miwako's reaction, Kogoro Mori realized that he might have said something wrong, so he wanted to change his words.

"Um...that..."

Just when he was about to embarrass himself, a voice came from nowhere and saved him.

"That's right. You went around to the back to avoid touching the president's legs, and instead stabbed the president's back directly with the dagger."

The sudden voice startled Kogoro Mouri and he looked around in confusion.

But the next second, he remembered that he seemed to have another personality, so he felt relieved instantly.

"Yes, yes! I stabbed the president in the back with a knife!"

"And Kusaka took this opportunity to throw the president into the sea. He thought he had done all this."

"But in fact, you have been nearby. You planned to throw the dagger and the bathrobe stained with fake plasma and other evidence into the sea to destroy them after he finished dealing with the matter and left."

"But just then, an unexpected person appeared at the dock."

"Dr. Cheng Shi is looking for someone in the dock because of hide-and-seek, which affects your plan."

"So you knocked her out, and then..."

Before Kogoro Mori could finish his words, he saw a puzzled expression on Miwako Akiyoshi's face again.

This made him, who was extremely confident a second ago, instantly wilted again, and he subconsciously asked: "Eh? Did I say something wrong again?"

Akiyoshi Miwako nodded.

This made Conan, who was peeking not far away, frown and look confused.

what happened?

  Wasn’t it Akiyoshi Miwako who attacked Dr. Cheng Shi in the dock?

According to his reasoning, Kusaka pushed Chairman Yashiro into the sea at 10:15, and Cheng Shi was attacked at least at 10:20, so it is very likely that these two people did not meet.

But if it was Akiyoshi Miwako hiding nearby, she would probably have a chance to attack Cheng Shi.

  But now that Akiyoshi Miwako has even admitted to the crime of murder, there is no need for her to be afraid to admit to the attack, right?

Was there someone else in the dock at that time?

On the deck, Akiyoshi Miwako, who had been silent all the time, spoke.

"As expected of the famous detective Maori Kogoro..."

"Except for some minor inaccuracies, everything else is correct."

"The reason why I planned to use Kusaka was after I learned that you and Detective Qin were also on the ship..."

"In order to deceive the famous detective, a fake murderer must be designed, and the murderer must also think that he killed the person himself."

She slowly walked in front of Maori Kogoro and said calmly, "There is one more thing. The man on the computer blamed my father for dying with the ship, saying that my father's ideas were completely out of date."

"I cannot forgive those who insulted my father..."

At this moment, Hai Teng Du suddenly shouted: "That's not the case!"

"What did you say?" Akiyoshi Miwako turned her head and looked at him.

Hai Teng Du lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "In fact, the truth of 15 years ago is not what you think..."

"No one told me to sink a ship or kill anyone 15 years ago."

"It was Captain Okita who caused the Yashiro Maru to deviate from its original course without the knowledge of anyone on board."

"As the vice-captain at the time, I discovered this and went to Captain Okita to argue with him, but he..."

"he……"

Kaito Wataru stared with his eyes wide open, as if he was recalling some horrible scene, and his expression twitched slightly.

However, at this moment, there were many more noisy footsteps on the deck.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw several crew members coming from the side of the ship, one of them was holding a primary school student wearing glasses.

"Conan?!"

"Ize?"

Kogoro Mori and Wataru Kaito recognized the faces of several people and were very surprised.

"Yize, why haven't you left yet?" Hai Teng Du asked.

Ize is the second captain of the ship, a man with a thin face.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a somewhat ferocious smile, "Captain, I'm here to pick you up..."

"But instead of getting off the ship, we're going to a place on the ship."

Kogoro Mori saw that the person had ill intentions and was about to stop him, but Izawa simply pulled out a pistol from his arms and fired a shot at the floor.

Pia!

The rain quickly drowned out the sound of gunfire and smoke, but the bullet holes left on the floor could not be erased.

"Detective Maori-san, and Akiyoshi-san... please come with us as well."

Maori Kogoro looked serious and asked, "Where are you going?"

"You'll know when you get there..."

……

Under the control of five crew members led by Yize, everyone returned to the cabin.

At this time, a large amount of water had entered the rear part of the lowest cabin, causing the hull to gradually tilt below sea level.

This caused the floor of the entire corridor to gradually tilt, and from time to time there were sounds of things rolling down.

Everyone came to the Black Forest Restaurant on the second floor.

here it is……

Conan looked around. He had never been to this place before, but from the surrounding forest decorations and various food stalls, he guessed that it should be a special theme restaurant on the ship.

But now the people on the ship have left, the food stalls are empty, and the fallen plates and condiments are scattered all over the floor.

"Here we are, right here."

Izawa turned around and signaled his men to tie up Kogoro Mori, Miwako Akiyoshi, and Wataru Kaito, and even Conan was not spared.

Maori Kogoro looked around calmly and asked again: "What exactly are you going to do?"

Yize grinned and shook the muzzle of the gun in his hand, "Of course it is to carry out a great cause, a cause that was not completed 15 years ago..."

Hearing this, Kaito Watari's pupils widened.

"But before that, I would like to introduce someone to each of you."

As he finished his words, a figure walked out from the darkness of the forest.

Akiyoshi Miwako looked at the man's face, her pupils widened instantly, and she did not hide her shocked expression at all.

"Yadaimei Hideto!"
