Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 334, Chapter 328: A criminal gang wearing work clothes—can you stand it?
"What's going on here?" Apart from the corpse, the rest of the scene was a mess.

The pillow on the bed was slashed, and feathers scattered all over the room were from the pillow.

The wardrobe, drawers, and every place in the room that could hold things were all ransacked and made a mess.

Han Chuanlong's backpack and suitcase were left wide open on the ground. Judging from the traces at the scene, Han Chuanlong had just experienced a dangerous "home invasion robbery".

Here comes the problem.

A home invasion robbery is not unusual no matter where it happens, but it shouldn't have happened on the Suzuki family's cruise ship.

Aside from these outsiders, everyone else on the ship was an employee of the Suzuki family. While we wouldn't say we knew them inside and out, all their information was recorded.

This means that if you commit a crime and are discovered, you can't run away.

The claim of burglary is clearly unfounded, but Mr. Kogoro Mouri, a guiding light in our detective industry, just likes to take unconventional approaches.

"I think the killer's target was that ring—Mr. Hanchuan had shown off his Maria II ring on the deck."

After listening to Kogoro Mouri's analysis, Ryoma Hayashi exclaimed sincerely, "Wow, Mr. Mouri, you really like to take the road less traveled."

"If I remember correctly, when Mr. Hanchuan was showing off his ring, it should have been made into a necklace and worn around his neck."

If the killer was really after the ring, there would be no need to make such a mess of the room, would there?

Doesn't setting up the venue take time?
"By the way, who was the first person to discover the murder?" Lin Longma asked curiously.

"It was the ship's crew. Mr. Hanchuan found the crew before resting and asked them to wake him up in two hours."

When the staff arrived at the door, they found it unlocked. This is what they found when they opened the door.

Before Ryoma Hayashi arrived, Kogoro Mouri had already figured out some basic information.

Ryoma Lin took the gloves from Kaito Kuroba's hands and then carefully entered the room.

After briefly glancing through Ryu Hanakawa's luggage, he asked Kogoro Mouri:

"I remember Mr. Hanchuan seemed to really like using a camera to record his life, right? He carried his camera everywhere he went."

"What about the things he filmed? I mean the camera's memory cards. I didn't find them in either the camera or Mr. Hanchuan's luggage."

Upon hearing Ryoma's words, Kogoro Mouri immediately ran over and began searching the scene. He hadn't actually noticed the camera's memory card before.

He had been focused on Han Chuanlong's rings and necklaces, and hadn't even thought about Han Chuanlong's profession.

Conan is similar, but he differs from Kogoro Mouri in that he focuses on Ryu Saekawa's right eye, which was shot in the eye.

He still remembered the broken monocle and the injured pigeon on the ground when he chased after Phantom Thief Kid to the spot where he had crashed.

I remember that I usually wear this monocle on my right eye.

Could it be a coincidence that the right eye was shot twice in a row?

No, it can't be a coincidence!

If Ryoma Lin hadn't pointed out the missing memory card in Ryoma Hanchuan's camera, Conan might not have thought much of it.

However, once this situation was pointed out, Conan quickly adopted it and connected it with other known clues.

"Hey, Uncle Lin? Do you know anything about those thugs who specifically target people's right eyes?"

Conan had been looking for an opportunity to contact Professor Agasa, who was far away in Tokyo, but now that Ryoma Hayashi was right beside him, who knew if Ryoma Hayashi might know something?
"A thug who specifically shoots at the right eye?" Lin Longma cheered inwardly. Conan really knew how to cooperate. He had been thinking about how to bring up the Scorpion incident, but Conan had provided the perfect assist at just the right time.

"I think I actually know one," Lin Longma said to Conan after pretending to think for a while.
"His habit is to specifically shoot people in the right eye. He is an international professional killer and art thief."

Moreover, it is said that this antiquities thief is only interested in artifacts from the Romanov dynasty.

Eh? "

Lin Longma pretended to be reminded by Conan: "Could it be that this Scorpion has already infiltrated this ship?"

Han Chuanlong has a ring belonging to Queen Maria II and spends his days recording his life with a camera.

That doesn't guarantee he won't capture things he shouldn't have.

Lin Longma finally understood why, even though he had secretly "given a heads-up" to Pu Siqinglan, it was Han Chuanlong who ended up being the one who suffered.

After all that, it turns out this guy was frantically stacking buffs on himself, and the photo frame Lin Longma erected became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

For Pu Siqinglan, Hanchuanlong became the taunting "follower" that had to be attacked first.
"If Scorpion really manages to board the ship, then I need to remind Chairman Suzuki. Everyone, please excuse me."

Before leaving, Lin Longma glanced at Qian Jiangyi, the embassy secretary, and Pu Siqinglan a few times. It was clear that Lin Longma had placed his suspicions about Shi Kaobing on these three.

Of the three people who received extra attention from Lin Longma, Qian Jiangyi and the Russian embassy secretary were only slightly annoyed.

They knew very well that the Scribes had nothing to do with them.

But Pu Siqinglan was different; she never expected that her disguise would be exposed so easily.

She rarely travels to Asia, so why does this person know so much about it?

As for dealing with Lin Longma Pusiqinglan in the same way she dealt with Han Chuanlong, it's not that she doesn't want to, but that she can't.

Ryoma Hayashi's room is not on the same floor as Ryoma Kanagawa's, and Ryoma Hayashi's room is closer to Shiro Suzuki's.

The security level on their floor was much higher than on other floors, so Pu Siqinglan, who was only a silver-level assassin, had no chance of going all out.

At this moment, all they could do was watch Lin Longma leave.

No, the situation ahead is clearly beyond her ability to handle alone. Pu Siqinglan decided to ask Snake for some manpower support.

Yes, even in such a passive situation, Pu Siqinglan still has no intention of giving up on the [Egg of Memories].

He wants not only the Suzuki family's memory egg, but also the Kosaka family's potentially existing memory egg!
When the Suzuki family's cruise ship docked, Hayashi Ryoma also received an email from Shiratori.

Snake's men were spotted at the dock.

How did you find out?

Lin Longma was very curious. Based on his understanding of the Metropolitan Police Department's operational capabilities, these people shouldn't be this efficient.

Or did the Metropolitan Police Department undergo a complete upgrade while he was away from Tokyo?
A moment later, Shiratori sent a photo that answered all of Lin Longma's questions.

"Huh... why would a criminal organization have its members wear the same uniform during operations?"

Lin Longma suddenly realized that he might have overestimated the "zoo".
