Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 1379 The Real Mastermind

On the side of the ship, Qin Zhibo told Conan what happened on the "Aphrodite" from his own perspective.

In fact, the biggest difference between the two in their investigations is that Conan is making every effort to investigate the murder of the Yashiro father and daughter.

Because in his speculation, Cheng Shi was attacked by the murderer who killed the eight generations of father and daughter.

While investigating the case, Qin Zhibo was also investigating the whereabouts of the iron box.

Of course, Qin Zhibo also got the answer to the case early on.

Because Kusaka Hironari is a real person, he has the entire criminal plan in his computer.

Later, because he suspected that Akiyoshi Miwako might help Kusaka Hironari to give false testimony, he sneaked into Akiyoshi Miwako's room and found a spear gun in her room, and a bathrobe was missing.

"what?"

"So you already knew that Akiyoshi Miwako was the real murderer?"

After listening to Qin Zhibo's investigation, Conan was shocked and felt a little frustrated.

During this investigation of the case, I originally thought that I was on the third floor, Qin Zhibo was also on the third floor, and Uncle Maori was on the underground floor.

It turned out that he was actually on the first floor, Uncle Maori was on the third floor, and Qin Zhibo was on...

atmosphere!
Because the murderer's plan was confirmed relatively early, the bomb installed by Kusaka Guangcheng in the distribution room was also dismantled by Qin Zhibo.

"But you know that Akiyoshi Miwako is the real murderer, why don't you say it out?" Conan asked puzzledly.

"No way~" Qin Zhibo waved his hand, "I still have to investigate the matter of the iron box. I don't have time to play house games..."

"Besides, don't you still have it?"

Qin Zhibo rubbed Conan's head, making Conan blush.

Sorry to disappoint you this time...

"But the highlight is coming..."

Qin Zhibo's expression suddenly became serious, and he continued to talk about his experience in the lower cabin while the welcome reception was going on.

From guessing that the freight elevator passage might be the place where the iron box was hidden, to subduing the four people responsible for moving the box, and learning from one of them who was the mastermind behind the incident.

Of course, the crew member at that time only confessed the deputy captain Ize, and did not mention the eighth generation Yingren.

What happened after that was pretty much the same as what Conan knew.

Qin Zhibo realized that this matter was not simple, and while returning to the upper cabin, he reserved a life raft and picked up the spear gun discarded by Akiyoshi Miwako on the deck.

Later, everyone was rescued at the Black Forest Restaurant.

After listening to Qin Zhibo's experience, Conan also understood why Qin Zhibo did not show up at the welcome party.

At that time, he indeed had not expected that the iron box mentioned by Cheng Shi would be the biggest scandal on the "Aphrodite".

"But what's in that iron box?" Conan asked with a slightly anxious look.

"Well..."

Qin Zhibo thought for a moment, then said to Conan: "Before answering this question, let's go meet someone first..."

"Meeting someone?"

Conan looked a little confused, but still followed Qin Zhibo.

The cutest height difference combination found Captain Kaito Wataru of the "Aphrodite" on the rear deck of the ship, who was arranging work for his crew members.

After waiting for him to finish explaining his work, Qin Zhibo walked up.

"Mr. Kaito, I think it's time to fulfill our previous agreement."

Hai Tengdu was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that when he was on the life raft, Qin Zhibo said he wanted to talk to him.

"can."

Hai Teng Du took a deep breath, his eyes slightly heavy, "Then let's find a secluded place first..."

……

Led by Kaito Watari, the three of them came to a separate cabin.

Kaito Watari pulled a chair and sat down. Just as he was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of the elementary school student with glasses still following him.

"Mr. Qin, this child..."

Qin Zhibo also knew what he was worried about, so he waved his hand and replied, "It's okay, just pretend he doesn't exist."

Hai Teng Du's expression still showed some concerns. After all, those past events were not something that most people could accept.

"But……"

"He's just a kid anyway, he can't understand what you're saying."

As soon as Qin Zhibo finished speaking, Conan cooperated by aligning his two eyeballs with the middle bridge of his nose, making the legendary "wise" look.

When Hai Tengdu saw this look, he began to believe what Qin Zhibo said.

"All right……"

"This story begins 15 years ago when I was the vice captain of the first Yashiro Maru..."

Next, Kaito Wataru recounted his experience on the Yashiro Maru 15 years ago.

The most important part was that on the night of the accident, he found Captain Okita after discovering that the GPS positioning system on the ship was turned off and the course had deviated.

Captain Okita told him his plan and took him to the cargo hold to see a terrifying tentacle monster.

"Captain Okita said the monster was called 'Black Young'..."

"He also said that she was the Supreme Mother Goddess's agent on earth, and that she could fulfill all human wishes..."

"The prerequisite is to sacrifice blood and life to it."

Kaito Watari rested his elbows on his knees, with his hands supporting his head, looking extremely painful.

Qin Zhibo sat on the chair opposite and asked, "Did you ask him what wish he wanted to realize?"

Kaito Watari shook his head, his voice low and hoarse.

"No."

"I was so frightened at the time that I couldn't ask any questions. I just listened to Captain Okita talking alone..."

After a few seconds of silence, Kaito Watari said, "But Captain Okita said at the time that he was dying, so he needed the Dark Young to fulfill his wish."

"After that, he asked me to keep the secret and go back to the cabin pretending I knew nothing. When the next morning came, nothing happened."

"But I couldn't stand the torture, so I piloted the Yashiro Maru and it crashed into an iceberg in the middle of the night."

"You know what happened next..."

Kaito Watari held his forehead and stopped talking.

Qin Zhibo and Conan looked at each other and knew that this was all the information they could get.

Qin Zhibo stood up, patted Hai Tengdu on the shoulder, and said calmly: "The police may come to you later to ask about the cause of the accident 15 years ago."

"If you don't want to be suspected, it's better to stick to what you said from the beginning."

"After all, the accident happened so many years ago, there is no evidence to prove whether what you said is true or false..."

Kaito Watari suddenly raised his head, "Do you believe what I said is true?"

Qin Zhibo nodded seriously. "Of course."

Hearing this, Kaito Wataru's expression was stunned at first, and after a few seconds, two tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

At this moment, the grievances that had accumulated in my heart for 15 years and that no one could understand were finally released.

……

Coming out of the cabin, Qin Zhibo and Conan came to the edge of the deck.

The warm sea breeze blew across his face, but a hint of coolness surged in Conan's heart.

He had just listened to Hai Tengdu's complete description of the accident 15 years ago. Even without Qin Zhibo's further introduction, he had some guesses about this incident.

"So, inside that iron box is the monster called 'Black Young'?"

"Yes."

Qin Zhibo confirmed Conan's guess.

After hearing the answer, although Conan had never seen the monster with his own eyes, after listening to Kaito Wataru's simple description, a rough idea of ​​what the monster might look like emerged in his mind.

But no matter how he imagined it, the indescribable unknown creature was more terrifying than he had imagined.

Conan's face darkened and he continued to analyze on his own.

"In other words, this incident should be a continuation of the accident 15 years ago..."

"15 years ago, Captain Okita collaborated with Yashiro Hideto and placed the 'Black Goat Kid' on the first Yashiro Maru, hoping to reach a backward primitive island during the voyage and sacrifice the primitive tribe on the island."

"15 years later, the eighth generation of British people cooperated with the second captain and wanted to sacrifice all the passengers on the 'Aphrodite'..."

Conan was analyzing calmly, but suddenly he caught a glimpse of Qin Zhibo looking at him.

"What, what's wrong?"

"Is there something on my face?"

Qin Zhibo shook his head. "No, I just feel that these words coming out of your mouth are a little..."

“Discord.”

Indeed, for Conan, who has always been good at reasoning and talking about evidence, Qin Zhibo was a little uncomfortable with the sudden use of unscientific words like "sacrifice" in his analysis.

Conan smiled slightly, his hands in his pockets, "Really? You'll get used to it later..."

To be honest, he himself had never thought that one day he would investigate these unscientific things.

At least to myself a year ago, I would say that a year later I would find that those things that I originally thought were unscientific actually exist, and I would never believe it even if I were beaten to death.

"correct."

Conan suddenly said: "Speaking of the 'Supreme Mother Goddess', I remembered that when Akiyoshi Miwako was studying in the restaurant before, she was holding a book about that."

"I heard from her that the book was given to her by the eighth generation of Englishmen."

"Oh, is it so?"

Qin Zhibo did notice the book in Akiyoshi Miwako's hand at the time, but he didn't pay much attention to the content.

It seems that Conan is really lucky and always comes across key clues inadvertently.

After getting new clues, the two went to look for Akiyoshi Miwako again.

Since Akiyoshi Miwako is now a criminal, she is held in the lowest cabin. Once the ship lands, she will be taken to the Metropolitan Police Department for further interrogation.

Qin Zhibo found Officer Megure and activated his Face Fruit ability, getting the opportunity to talk to him alone for 10 minutes.

……

"The book?"

"I'm sorry, I left the book in the room on the ship, and it has now sunk to the bottom of the sea along with the 'Aphrodite'."

"As for the contents, I actually just started reading it, so I didn't write down any useful information."

Miwako Akiyoshi was sitting on a chair with her legs crossed. Although she was handcuffed, she still looked relaxed and contented.

Unlike Kusaka Hironari, she had already prepared to kill her enemies and then sink into the sea with the "Aphrodite". Even if she was caught by the police now, there would be no loss.

It's just that I will have to spend a long time in prison.

Qin Zhibo nodded in understanding and continued to ask: "What about your father, Captain Okita? How much do you know?"

When mentioning her father, a hint of heaviness appeared in Miwako Akiyoshi's eyes.

"My impression of my father mainly stays before I was 12 years old."

"I haven't seen my father since my mother and father divorced..."

Qin Zhibo glanced at the information above Akiyoshi Miwako's head. She is 32 years old.

Although she looks similar to Eri Kisaki, she is actually 5 years younger than Eri Kisaki.

Akiyoshi Miwako continued: "Although I seldom met my father, he was still the person I respected most in my childhood. It was my father who made me yearn for the sea..."

Seeing that Akiyoshi Miwako was a little off topic, Qin Zhibo quickly made the question more specific.

"What I want to know is Captain Okita's past experiences, such as what kind of ships he has driven, or what interesting things he has done..."

Akiyoshi Miwako frowned slightly and thought for a few seconds before she slowly said, "I don't really know where my father worked or what he did. I only know that he was a captain of a ship."

"But I heard from my mother that my father didn't work on the Yashiro Group's ships before, but worked on a ship owned by another large group."

"I think the name of that group is..."

Qin Zhibo: "Karasuma Group?"

Akiyoshi Miwako looked at Qin Zhibo opposite her in surprise and nodded hesitantly, "It is indeed this name..."

Conan, who was standing next to him, was surprised to see that Qin Zhibo had guessed it right. He turned to look at Qin Zhibo in surprise.

"I see. Thank you, Ms. Akiyoshi."

Having obtained the key clue, Qin Zhibo did not linger any longer.

Leaving the cabin where Akiyoshi Miwako was imprisoned, Conan, who was following Qin Zhibo, quickly asked, "How do you know the name of that group?"

Qin Zhibo's expression was very solemn.

He paused for a second before turning around and speaking seriously to Conan.

"The Karasuma Group is the organization's official name."

"Organization..." Conan was stunned, "Is that the organization you are talking about?"

"Yes." Qin Zhibo nodded affirmatively, "It is the Black Organization you are familiar with."

Hearing this, Conan's mind was like a thunderclap, and it suddenly exploded with a bang.

The Karasuma Group, or the Karasuma Consortium.

Not many young people today know this name, and even most people who lived 40 years ago had never heard of this foundation.

Because the Internet did not exist at that time and traditional media was not well developed, most people had no idea who controlled the top resources of this pyramid society.

Even the Suzuki Group, which is now in its heyday, was only a "baby" that had been established for only 20 years at that time.

Because of this, there are very few records left in history about the Karasuma Group.

However, when Qin Zhibo suddenly mentioned this, the first thing Conan thought of was the top rich man named "Karasuma" in the Dusk Villa.
