Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 102 Who can refuse the right to inherit an entire conglomerate?
On the boundless ocean, the luxurious Yamato family cruise ship sails slowly.

The entire cruise ship was enveloped in deathly silence and moonlight.

The members of the Yamamoto family were disheartened, as they had been initially pleased with the benefits brought to them by the death of their patriarch.

However, the series of cases dampened their enthusiasm for fighting for the property.

Who is the murderer? Will there be another victim?

If so, will I be the next one to die?
This question lingered in the minds of everyone in the Hiramoto family.

The luxury cruise ship was no longer as glamorous as it once was.

One person died in each of three places: the room, the bathroom, and the plywood.

"The body was still warm, and the blood had not yet congealed. Mr. Beilang had been dead for no more than ten minutes."

Kogoro Mouri was exhausted, both physically and mentally.

This is nothing.

While investigating a case on Moonshadow Island, three people died there. On the way back to Tokyo, three more people died while hitchhiking.

Am I really the Grim Reaper?

He encountered six murder cases in three days, a record that even frightened him.

"Judging from this, it seems that Kitarou and Mr. Ryūonō died around the same time."

Xia Chuan stroked his chin: "Killing both Bei Lang and Long Nan at the same time is obviously unrealistic. There may be more than one murderer."

"That's right."

Conan carefully examined the wound. "This wound is different from the wound of the head of the Hiromoto family. The opening of this wound is four centimeters, while the wound of the head of the Hiromoto family should be less than three centimeters."

"The murder weapons are all different, so it is indeed possible that they were killed by different people."

Kogoro Mouri nodded seriously, then threw a punch with an angry expression!

"Aren't you afraid of having nightmares if you get this close, kid?"

That punch made Kogoro Mouri feel incredibly comfortable all over.

I don't know why, but this punch felt like a revenge.

readily!

The ladies were taken to the restaurant to rest by Joel and Ran, while Kogoro Mouri's eyes swept over the remaining three men.

We cannot rule out Takeshi Hitomoto as a suspect for the time being, after all, he escaped from prison.

Even so, among the three butlers, Ichiro Hatomoto, Shoji Hatomoto, and Kenji Suzuki, at least one is a murderer.

ten minutes later.

Kogoro Mouri learned about the three men's movements over the past half hour.

Ichiro Hiramoto was drawing in his room before the incident, and only came out when he heard a loud noise outside.

Shoji Hiramoto was tidying up the kitchen when he was also drawn in by the sound.

The Suzuki butler was in the control room determining the flight path; he came out because he needed to urinate.

None of the three individuals had an alibi, and all were alone at the time of the incident.

Great, choose one of the three classic options.

"Strange, why haven't the police arrived yet? Did Butler Suzuki just call the police?" Natsukawa asked, seemingly casually.

Butler Suzuki's expression remained unchanged: "The waves are too high, and visibility is poor at night, making it difficult for helicopters to fly. The Metropolitan Police Department said they cannot be present. However, they will conduct an investigation on the entire ship after it docks tomorrow morning."

Conan frowned: "Why didn't you say something so important sooner?"

Three people have already died, and there's still one missing, Takeshi Hitomoto. If the police don't arrive, there might be more deaths.

After all, not every murderer is as daring as the killer from Moonshadow Island to provoke the police.

This killer is clearly one of the Yakumoto family members; an ordinary person, unlike a professional assassin, would certainly not dare to provoke the police.

Conan took a deep breath and suddenly felt that this Suzuki butler was a bit suspicious.

Uncle Natsukawa previously said that the person who killed Tatsuo Hitomoto looked a bit like him. Could he be the murderer?
"I apologize, the master's death has distracted me, and I forgot to inform everyone."

The Suzuki butler bowed ninety degrees in apology.

Conan and Kogoro Mouri couldn't say anything to him, which is understandable.

ten minutes later.

Everyone on the cruise ship except Takeshi Hitomoto gathered in the restaurant.

Natsukawa, Kogoro Mouri, and Conan were tasked with searching all the rooms.

Jumping into the sea is unrealistic; Takeshi Hiramoto must still be somewhere on the ship.

"Ania, listen to Aunt Yor, or I'll give away all the local specialties when we get back."

Xia Chuan saw Anya's restless movements and immediately stopped her.

The little guy has already put on his sunglasses; he's clearly about to do cosplay again.

That won't do. The outfit from Moonshadow Island looks like vodka on Anya.

If Anya and Vodka stood together, they probably would look like father and daughter.

Damn it, my dad's jealous!

I'll throw away the black suit as soon as I get back!!

“Oh~” Anya sat down listlessly.

She decided to skip the hide-and-seek game and think about where to hide her black suit when she got home.

It's only at times like this that luxury cruise ships evoke disgust.

There are too many rooms; searching for them one by one is really troublesome.

"By the way, Uncle Natsukawa, are you sure you saw Butler Suzuki?"

After thinking for a moment, Xia Chuan felt he should change his statement. "Not necessarily. Visibility is too poor at night, so I can't guarantee that the person was Suzuki the butler, but it's certain that he was wearing a suit."

Conan stroked his chin and asked after a few seconds, "By the way, did the back of his suit jacket flutter when he ran away?"

The Suzuki butler's tuxedo has a long back hem, so it would probably be blown up by the wind when he runs.

Now that you mention it, no.

The two chatted as they searched, with Conan asking for details before starting to think. Kogoro Mouri searched other floors.

Half an hour later, the three met up in the cabin corridor.

"No?" Kogoro Mouri asked.

Xia Chuan shook his head and pointed to the last room: "This is the only one left."

"This should be Aunt Qiujiang's room."

Conan remembers it very clearly.

He got the room information from almost everyone in the room from Hatsue Hiramoto, all to make the investigation easier.

Natsukawa remembered that Takeshi Hiromoto was in Akie Hiromoto's room.

The door was pushed open with a bang.

Xia Chuan was the first to enter.

“Come out, Mr. Takeshi Hitomoto. Hiding won’t help. Three people have already died. If you continue to hide, it will only increase suspicion. When the police come tomorrow, you won’t be able to escape either.”

"Will this even work?" Conan looked at Natsukawa speechlessly.

Natsukawa says this in every room, but he still hasn't found Takeshi Hitomoto.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the wardrobe creaked open.

Takeshi Hiramoto came out.

"."×2
Kogoro Mouri: "If I had known this would work, I would have said the same thing when I was looking for him."

Conan's lips twitched; he felt like he'd been slapped in the face.

But isn't this Takeshi Hitomoto a bit perverted?
He emerged from the closet with black stockings on his head and a pair of women's lingerie hanging from his shoulder. As he moved, he also pulled out several dresses and lace panties.

"I'm so sorry, that was very rude of me."

Takeshi Hitomoto awkwardly removed all his clothes from his body.

How embarrassing, these are Xia Jiang's private items.

but
Xia Jiang's sister is quite something, she's a D cup! No wonder her dress today showed off her breasts.

"How did you get out? Do you have accomplices?" Kogoro Mouri shouted. "Tell me your accomplices honestly. Three people are already dead. Don't be so stubborn."

"three people?"

Takeshi Yamamoto went from embarrassment to shock, then asked in horror, "Weren't two people dead? How come there's a third person? It's not Xia Jiang, is it?!"

No one answered.

Seemingly realizing that there was a slight problem with his words, he corrected himself: "I am not the murderer. The reason I know that two people died is because when Long Nan died, I saw a bunch of you people gathered around the splint."

"Then how did you get out?" Conan asked.

Takeshi Takumoto shook his head in confusion: "I don't know either. When I heard the noise, I thought something had happened to Xia Jiang, so I went to the door to check what was going on outside. But as soon as I leaned against the door, it opened automatically."

"So, you didn't have an accomplice, and you don't know who opened the door?"

oo
Kogoro Mouri had uneven eyes and his tone was full of distrust.

"Of course! How could I possibly kill Xia Jiang's grandfather? In fact, when Xia Jiang's grandfather talked to me, he had already clearly forgiven me."

He also said that as long as I was willing to get along well with Xia Jiang, he would forgive and forget about my past actions.

The Hakumoto Foundation will be entirely inherited by Natsue in the future.

I've already seen the will; killing him was completely unnecessary.

Takeshi Hitomoto became more and more confident as he spoke. With such immense wealth, who could refuse the right to inherit an entire zaibatsu?
Good guy!
Xia Chuan smacked his lips, thinking, "No wonder he's a traitor to three masters."

The Caicheng family, the Amemura family (the family that adopted him), and the Takumoto family—they're practically three-surname slaves.

He clearly wanted revenge, but in the end he was defeated by Hiromoto Gozo's money offensive. How is that any different from Zaishi Yuu, who committed suicide after his company was acquired?

One sacrificed his cowardly life for money, the other sacrificed his fragile perseverance for money.

Kogoro Mouri was utterly speechless.

Although he likes money, he really looks down on this kind of person.

I really don't know what Ms. Hatsue Hiramoto could possibly have fallen for this guy.

However, Kogoro Mouri didn't think he was the murderer. The flower at the scene of Gozo Hatamoto's death was obviously left by someone else. Even the floor had been wiped clean, so how could he not have seen the flower?

The flaws were so glaring that he almost couldn't stand it and wanted to complain.

Just then, the room suddenly went dark.

"What's going on?" Kogoro Mouri was completely bewildered, then Conan's watch-shaped spotlight hit his face.

"Damn it, don't shine that thing on me!"

Conan turned around and confirmed that Takeshi Hiramoto was still there, and he was equally surprised and uncertain.

It doesn't seem to be him!
At this moment, Xia Chuan had already reached the door.

"The outside lights have also been turned off."

"Me too, it must be a power outage!" Kogoro Mouri glanced around the window and made his judgment.

"Oh no!" ×3
Apart from the bewildered Takeshi Hitomoto, the other three ran out.

The target was the restaurant.

If it's just a power outage, that's fine, but if someone pulls the switch, it means someone is likely to die on the spot.

"what!"

Sharp cries echoed throughout the cruise ship.

The sea level even rippled as a result.

"What's going on!" Xia Chuan was the fastest and arrived at the restaurant to find two figures clashing in the darkness.

"Is that Xia Chuan-ge? The murderer has appeared!" Xiao Lan's voice was extremely sharp.

The terrifying atmosphere created by the killer completely rendered her unable to fight, and she is now hiding in a corner, clutching Anya.

"Aunt Joel, defeat the bad guys! Charge! Justice may be absent, but Aunt Joel will never be late!"
