Conan's first love is a profiler

Chapter 145 Tears of the Kraken
"Police. A small amount of explosive powder was collected in the room."

Shancun Cao was surprised when he heard this.

"Dynamite? How could there be such a thing?"

After hearing this, Mori Kogoro stroked his chin and pondered: "Could it be that Karthus harbored resentment for what happened 18 years ago, so in order to get revenge, he wanted to blow up the ship during the last voyage?"

Conan, who was eavesdropping, caught a few key words, was startled, and hurried to the room where Qinghai Chuantang was.

After knocking on the door, seeing no answer, he opened the door and walked in.

The room here is much larger than his, and it can be called a real luxury.

Sure enough, people with huge insurance money can do whatever they want?
"Sister Xiaotang, are you in there?"

After Conan called, there was still no answer.

After entering the inner room, the first thing that catches the eye is the light blue gemstone in the glass display box, surrounded by infrared rays - the tear of the siren.

Conan exclaimed: "What a beautiful gem."

After finishing speaking, Conan realized something was wrong, and immediately shook his little head.

After waking up a bit, he began to search the room for any clues.

At this time, Conan found a black envelope on the coffee table.

After opening it, the first thing I saw was a white card, which said in English: Anyone who knows the secret will die.

The inscribed name is "Karthus".

There are a few candid photos inside, and the people in the photos are Yang Moumou, Shikata Hiroaki, Nanao, and Qinghai Chuantang.

Just now, the ship received a new fax from Karthus.

"I kidnapped Qinghai Chuantang. Before 22 o'clock, put 100 million US dollars on the helipad. Before that, don't get close. If you violate the order, wait for the hostages to collect their bodies."

The crew has gone looking for it, but with no cash on board, the ransom has become an issue.

Conan, who heard about this through the phone in Qinghai Chuantang's room, couldn't help clenching his fists.

Damn, is Karthus really going to kill someone?

But the question now is, where did he get the $100 million?
"Conan, what are you doing in my room?"

At this moment, a voice full of doubts sounded from behind.

Conan was taken aback, then turned to look at the other party, but it was an ordinary-looking woman in a deacon uniform.

He suddenly had an illusion that the whole world knows disguise, but I don't.

"Sister Xiaotang, what is going on?"

"Well, I was indeed kidnapped, but I just escaped by chance."

Qinghai Chuantang walked over, entered the password for the electronic lock, opened the drawer, and took out a black portable lockbox.

"Is there really 100 million dollars in it?"

"It's more than that, it's full of large banknotes from the Tiandi Bank."

After finishing speaking, Qinghai Chuantang rubbed his index finger, which felt slippery and sticky.

Just as the two were heading, an alarm sounded on the ship.

Conan was surprised: "Could it be that the GL lion was stolen?"

"it's not true."

Qinghai Chuantang shook his head and said, "Karthas' target is not the GL Lion, but the Siren's Tears. And this siren sounded once 18 years ago."

Mori Kogoro and Yamamura Cao, who didn't know the truth, rushed to the room and caught the two who were about to escape.

Dressed in black, coupled with the special hood for the kidnappers, it undoubtedly confirmed the identity of the two as "thieves".

And these two men are Bao Da and Bao Xiao whom I have seen before.

Cao Shancun picked up the phone in the room and said, "This is Shancun, GL Lion is fine, stop the alarm."

The siren stopped in an instant.

"Now, arrest him on the spot for attempted theft and damage to public property." After speaking, Shan Cuncao took out two pairs of handcuffs.

The two who were in the act of surrender were taken aback for a moment, looking at each other, full of doubts.

"Damaged public property?"

I saw the GL lion in the display cabinet, and one of its wings had been broken.

After Conan and Qinghai Chuantang rushed to the apron, they found a piece of paper on the ground, which wrote in English: The hostages are in the No. [-] lifeboat.

The signed name is still Karthus.

"Since you have escaped, who is in the lifeboat at this time?"

"The mascot doll jacket of the casino, and used it as a stand-in."

When he arrived at lifeboat No. [-], Conan saw a crow puppet tied up with five flowers, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

What a familiar rope method.
On the side, there is a time bomb that is counting down.

"Don't worry, I learned how to defuse bombs in Hawaii."

Seeing that Conan was about to start, Qinghai Chuantang said: "The bomb is fake, so I left with peace of mind."

However, although it is false, it does not mean that it has no influence.

After leaving with the doll suit in hand, the lifeboat fell in a few seconds.

Seeing this, Conan joked: "If you didn't leave in time, maybe you will be living on a deserted island by now?"

"In that case, maybe I will be like "Robinson Crusoe", and then I will write a "Qinghai Chuantang Crusoe".

Qinghai Chuantang said with a smile: "However, even if I am really living on a deserted island, I have a way to leave immediately."

After hearing this, Conan called out "amazing", and asked curiously, "what can I do?"

"Draw a Mickey Mouse in the open space."

"what?"

At this time, the ship received another fax from Karthus——

Sailing as planned, rescue and case search not allowed.If this is not followed, new sacrifices will arise.

"This case was not done by Karthus. Including the kidnapping, it was someone else."

The time-limited bomb was just a cover without a detonating device.

"The other party's real purpose is probably the Sea Monster's Tears."

Along the way, the two discussed while walking.

"By the way, Miss Xiaotang, how did you get 'Tears of the Siren'?"

After hearing this question, Qinghai Chuantang stopped suddenly.

After sighing, he turned and looked at the bright moon in the sky.

"Maybe, it's just because of a superstition."

I once saw the beauty, so I bought this gem at the auction.And because of its name, it is used as a "guardian stone" when traveling to sea.

"But about the deceiving siren, isn't it the character who kills sailors with his singing?"

"So it's all superstitious."

The time can be traced back to the seventeenth century.

At that time, Siren's Tear was a secret treasure that pirates competed for.

The holder will be rich, and there is a legend that as long as you own it, you will not encounter shipwreck.

Those in power at that time all pursued this stone.

For a long time, the Li family in Hong Kong kept it as a family heirloom, but it was later auctioned off.

"So, it was photographed by you?"

After checking the price of Siren's Tears with his mobile phone, Conan said in surprise, "I didn't expect the valuation to be 50 billion yen!"

But Qinghai Chuantang doesn't look like a fool with a lot of money.

In contrast, Conan was deeply skeptical: "Could it be that you are going to grab it?"

After Qinghai Chuantang invited Conan to eat a piece of sugar-fried chestnuts, he said angrily, "Do I seem to be a person who can do such bad things?"

She just happened to have a hang up.

"Okay, let's get back to the topic. After Yang was killed, did you figure out why the prisoner put a life jacket on him?"

Conan nodded.

"Prisoner, I hope to carry out rescue activities."

People fall from the ship, and the method of steering is common all over the world.

Turn the rudder in the direction of the fall, stop the engine, and keep the person in the water from being caught in the boat's propeller.

However, the ship's engine also doubles as a generator.

Once stopped, the power supply will also stop.

Switching to a reserve clerk takes up to 45 seconds, as specified in the ship's equipment regulations.

The rescue operation was facilitated and the power supply in the ship was stopped for the purpose of the Siren's Tears.

The security device is composed of infrared sensor and electronic lock.

But once the power supply is stopped, both functions will stop.

"The purpose of the prisoner is to seize the 45-second gap when the power is switched to backup power after the power outage, and steal the Siren's Tears."

However, the prisoner failed.

Because when he was about to enter the suite, he met Mo Youqian.

Afterwards, the prisoner followed the other party and found out that person's true identity was Nanao.

Qiyuanxu and Mo Youqian are the same person, but the latter has changed his disguise a little.And the purpose of doing this is naturally to steal the Sea Monster's Tears.

Since half a year ago, he has been lurking in the ship as a trainee cook, preparing to steal the Siren's Tears.

Approaching An Xia, the daughter of Hiroaki Shikata, equipped with a master key, broke into the suite, and investigated the precise location of the base of the Siren's Tears.

Then, on this voyage, using a disguised passport, board the ship as Mo Rich.

A reservation was made for the room directly below the suite, and a few holes were punched in the ceiling directly below the insurance desk.

"He should be planning to put explosives in the hole and knock down the entire insurance platform in order to capture the Siren's Tears."

Although this was just Conan's guess, the mystery of the kneeling corpse was also solved because of his guess.

The murderer who killed Nanao discovered the drill, explosives and the hole in the ceiling, and then understood the opponent's plan.

If people found the scene of the crime in that way, Qi Yuanxu's staring at the Sea Demon's Tears would be exposed, and the security would be tightened.

The murderer tried his best to hide the evidence, leaving only a hole in the ceiling.

Unfortunately, the chair Nanao used to stand on was broken, and he had nothing to stand on.

So it is.
Although there are beds and sofas in the house, these things cannot be moved.

In order to prevent the large furniture in the boat from moving when the boat shakes, the legs are often fixed.

Therefore, the murderer had to use the corpse as a stepping platform.

"elder brother."

"kindness?"

"Thank you all the time."

Bao Dabao and Bao Xiao were handcuffed and sat looking at a pillar.

"what happened?"

There were only the two of them in the small room, and there were no guards outside the door.

"After Mom and Dad died, you have been taking care of me."

"Bao Xiao."

Bao Da looked at his younger brother and said, "I'll tell you this while I'm in the last few days. Parents who have always been parents, actually. Forget it, it's a long story."

Bao Xiao leaned his head on the pillar, and felt that his curiosity was instantly aroused, and he wanted to know more and more.

"Bao Xiao."

Bao Da stood up from the stool, and said with a chuckle, "It's too early to give up now."

He put his hand into his pocket, and because of this action, Baoxiao's head was mounted on the pillar, making a crisp crashing sound.

Immediately afterwards, Bao Da took out something and said with a mysterious smile: "This is the last trump card."

Bao Xiao was surprised.

"This is!"
