Conan's first love is a profiler

Chapter 144 The World's Number One Strange Thief
"However, what about the person we were with before?"

After a pause, Qinghai Chuantang explained again: "When I was passing by before, I happened to see you together, so I didn't bother you. Is it your boyfriend?"

An Xia smiled and said, "He is Nanao who was a trainee chef on this ship half a year ago. We just made an appointment to meet here to talk about the future."

The girl's pure face reveals a happy smile, and there is also the shyness unique to little girls.

"This is the last time I go to sea, maybe I will be proposed."

Qinghai Chuantang joked with a smile.

"No la."

On the surface, he answered this way, but in his heart, An Xia was also looking forward to it, as Qinghai Chuantang said.

It is not easy to find someone who can be with you for a lifetime.

Qinghai Chuantang wished her sincerely.

The next day, An Xia knocked on the door of Qinghai Chuantang's room in a panic, and told her the news about Qi Yuanxu.

According to the colleagues in the back kitchen, when it was time to change shifts, the other party never showed up.

Since the morning, they have been searching separately, but they still haven't found anything.

"Has Mr. Qiyuan done anything unusual recently?"

"So to speak"

An Xia seemed to recall something: "Before, he was very concerned about the situation around him, as if he had something on his mind all the time."

In the bar, An Xia insisted on standing on the stage, feeling that the singing had become much more desolate.

Shikata Hiroaki stood in front of the bar, looking at her with a worried look on his face.

He took a sip from the wine on the bar and put down his glass.

Suddenly, his expression changed drastically.

After twitching a few times, he fell to the ground.

"manager!"

"father!"

The singing stopped abruptly, and An Xia quickly ran off the stage.

Shikata Hiroaki was immediately sent to the infirmary.

Fortunately, the rescue was timely, and there was nothing serious, but he needed to rest more.

"Mr. Hongming, can I just ask a few words?"

Under the leadership of the new home doctor, Mori Kogoro and Yamamura Cao came to his room.

Lu Tianhong nodded, looked at An Xia at the side and said, "An Xia, go back to work, you're fine."

After An Xia left, Mori Kogoro continued: "Mr. Hong Ming added a heart tonic to the water he drank. It is a dangerous drug that may cause shock if a healthy person drinks it."

Shikata Hiroaki showed a slightly surprised look.

Xinju doctor said: "Someone may have taken it from the medicine shelf, and one piece is missing."

"Do you have any idea?"

Shikata Hiroaki didn't answer, but just lowered his head.

Masaharu Yokomatsu took a few steps forward and said, "Manager, please speak up."

Hiroaki Lutian was taken aback, and looked up at him: "Captain."

In fact, Hiroaki Shikata reported to Masaharu Yokomatsu that he saw a man with long hair holding an iron rod.

It is the same as the fugitive seen near Yang's room.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Faced with Mori Kogoro's questioning, Kada Hiroaki lowered his head and chose to remain silent.

Masaharu Yokomatsu sighed leisurely: "Perhaps, it has something to do with Karthus."

"Kalthus?"

Yamamura Cao and Mori Kogoro spoke in unison, and their eyes met. Neither of them had heard of this name.

"Actually, 18 years ago, Karthus sneaked into this ship. Because there was no loss, it was not made public, and only a small number of people knew about it."

Karthus is the best Phantom Thief in the world.

In recent years, Vermeer's famous painting "Girl with a Pearl Earring" has been stolen from the Maurice Museum; the Azeroth diamond has been stolen from Feralas.

Recently, in Summoner's Canyon, he successfully stole the Great Holy Grail.

Except for the crime warning, do not leave any evidence related to yourself.Everyone knows his name, but no one knows what he looks like.

"Excuse me, why did he come here 18 years ago?"

"this."

Yokomatsu Masaji glanced at the person on the bed, and said, "We don't know either."

Karthus was chased by security guards, injured and disappeared into the sea.

"Actually, I saw him a little at that time."

Everyone's eyes fell on Shikata Hiroaki.

"At that time, he also had long hair and was holding an iron rod."

"Could it be!" Shancuncao suddenly realized, showing a shocked expression: "Karthus was the one who killed Yang XX?"

After eavesdropping on all this at the outer door, Conan quietly left, came to the deck, and informed Qinghai Chuantang of the news.

Qinghai Chuantang was taken aback for a moment, then surprised, then rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.

Then, he told Conan what he knew.

Conan was shocked when he heard this, and growled in a low voice: "What? You met Karthus before?"

He remembered that before, Qinghai Chuantang said that he was 23 years old, and he was five years old 18 years ago.

Generally speaking, children at the age of two to five do not have the ability to promote memory, but are only able to briefly describe a thing.

Seeing Conan's expression gradually becoming suspicious, Qinghai Chuantang sighed helplessly, and could only choose to tell the truth.

"Shuichi Akai is 58 years old this year, how old do you think I am?"

Conan's expression became a little speechless, and he felt that this question was similar to "there is an apple tree on the mountain, how many bananas are there on the tree".

"I was eight 18 years ago, so it's not surprising that I remember."

Conan nodded, but soon realized something, and looked at her in shock: "So, you and Mr. Akai are really a father-daughter relationship?"

Qinghai Chuantang coughed slightly in embarrassment, and turned his head away slightly.

"That's not the point."

18 years ago, Qinghai Chuantang was also on this ship.

She was woken up at night by the sound of an alarm, and found a man squatting in the room with a wounded arm.

After she bandaged the wound with a handkerchief, Karthus left from the balcony.

"That Karthus, what does he look like?"

"If you want to ask what Kaitou Kidd looks like, maybe I can answer you. But Karthus is wearing a mask, so he can't see what he looks like at all."

"What does Kaito Kidd look like?" Conan asked persistently.

Qinghai Chuantang looked down at him, intentionally playing tricks.

"Don't you look in the mirror?"

"Eh?"

Conan blinked, seeming to understand something.

But Kogoro Mori and others searched for a long time, but they couldn't find Nanaohara.

It seems that we can only search all 987 guest rooms tomorrow.

After returning to the room, Qinghai Chuantang looked at the Siren's Tears in the glass display case and fell into deep thought.

The so-called "Tears of the Siren" is actually light blue, crystal-shaped boronite.

After sighing, she walked to the sofa and sat down, and picked up the booklet on the coffee table, which contained an interview report of a crew member who happened to be working in the cleaning room.

After the ship set sail, the room where the towels and sheets were never replaced was the key to finding Nanao.

Obviously, Conan also knows this.

So the next day, under his crazy hints and guidance, they came to one of the two rooms, one of the rooms, and knocked on the door.

The tenants are the pair of Afro brothers, the taller one is called Bao Xiao, and the shorter one is called Bao Da.

After seeing them, the two suddenly found surprised expressions, and their eyes widened.

Some stammered: "What are you doing?"

"Sorry. Mr. Bao Da, to ensure safety, we are checking the rooms that have not been cleaned before."

Bao Da hastily waved his hands and said "no".

"You're so flustered, isn't there something shameful about it?"

Hearing what Mori Kogoro said, the two of them panicked and looked back at the ship in a bottle on the table.

"ferry?"

"I, we are the director and screenwriter!"

The two quickly blocked everyone's sight with their bodies, "Now we are creating a new work with the luxury passenger ship as the background."

"No, that's right!"

Bao Da echoed his younger brother's words and said: "We are a small group of film lovers, well-known producers, little brothers Bao Da Bao."

Qinghai Chuantang tilted his head slightly, and saw the layout of the passenger ship pasted on the wall.

And the location marked with a red pen, with a big "GL" written in the circle.

Next, there is another room.

The guest was a Singaporean man.

In the photo, he has shoulder-length white hair and a goatee. His name is Mo Youqian.

"Shouldn't it be, this man is Karthus?"

Yamamura carefully stuck to the wall, hesitating whether to open the door and go in.

What if the opponent has a weapon?
"In this case, let me, Mori Kogoro, take the lead!"

Mori Kogoro adjusted his suit jacket, turned the doorknob and walked in, he couldn't help being startled.

Beside the bed, a naked man was kneeling on the ground, as if in the posture of a soldier taking his seat.

It's just that his head is tilted to the right.

There was blood all over the neck, and there was a hole that had been poked out, which made people shrink back when they saw it.

"He's Nanaohara."

The wooden chair on the side has been broken, and it may have been killed after fighting with the prisoner.

Qinghai Chuantang raised his head, looked at the ceiling, and found that there were signs of depression in several places.

The slightly raised edge indicated that someone had pasted something on it to cover up all of this.

There are a few drops of blue ink on the carpet.

Qinghai Chuantang squatted down, touched it with his hand, and put it in front of his nose to smell it.

Very special ink smell, like a little alcohol in yogurt.

"An Xia, wait!"

However, Hiroaki Shikata failed to stop her.

When An Xia watched this scene, she showed an expression of disbelief, and she couldn't help covering her mouth with her hands, trying not to make too excited sounds.

Then, An Xia was called by Yamamura Cao to the deck for questioning. Naturally, Kogoro Moori was with him.

Yamamura acts like he "has seen through everything".

"You said that you were looking for Mr. Qiyuan the night before yesterday, right?"

"Yes."

"Can anyone prove it?"

"What do you mean?"

Yamamura smiled confidently, and showed his temperament as the No.1 criminal policeman in the world.

"Why is the corpse kneeling? In other words, it is likely that a couple quarreled. When the other party apologized, the other party became angry and killed the apologetic!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Kogoro Mori, and asked for confirmation: "Mr. Mori, what do you think of my reasoning just now?"

Faced with such a pure and beautiful woman, Mori Kogoro is naturally unwilling to believe the other party's murderer.

But Yamamura Cao's conjecture is not impossible.

"Are you guys doubting me?"

At this moment, An Xia had a lovely and pitiful look on her face.

Mori Kogoro coughed lightly, "It's just possible, Miss An Xia, don't go!"

He turned around and stretched out his hand, but after all, it seemed that Erkang couldn't call Ziwei.
