Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 104 The incense is about to go out
Night fell, and the sea was pitch black.

On the cruise ship, silence and fear intertwined at this moment.

The restaurant corridor was dimly lit, casting ethereal shadows of ships. The sounds of waves and sea breeze filled the air.

In the distance, the stars twinkled, creating a breathtaking scene.

However, all these beautiful scenes only served to highlight the tragedy that occurred on the cruise ship.

The back door of the restaurant.

Despite the excruciating pain in his chest, Ireland restrained Shoji Hitomoto with one hand while threatening him with a short blade in the other.

"Don't come any closer, or I'll kill him!"

The sharp, short blade slightly cut open Shoji Hitomoto's skin, and a trickle of blood seeped out.

"Don't do anything! Let's talk this out. I have a lot of money, Butler Suzuki. You should know how much money I can get after the old man dies."

Shoji Hatomoto frantically begged for mercy, completely unaware that the other person was not the butler he knew.

Not receiving the reply he wanted made Shoji Hiramoto very uneasy. He looked at Natsukawa with pleading eyes, as she was his only lifeline.

Xia Chuan is a member of the distillery sent by Tequila; if he intervenes, he can definitely save his life.

He's also useful; if the distillery wants to take over the Yakumoto family's territory, having him will definitely make things much easier.

At this point, this was the only way that Shoji Hiramoto could console himself.

Xia Chuan remained silent, his face as calm as still water, the fire axe in his hand itching to strike.

Ireland felt threatened and retreated again.

He retreated directly to the corridor outside the restaurant, leaning against the railing. The sound of the waves and the sea breeze made him glance down.

"If you don't want him to die, put down the fire axe and don't come any closer."

"otherwise."

The Irish words weren't finished, but Xia Chuan already understood what he meant.

However, Natsukawa didn't care whether Hiromoto Shoji lived or died.

On the contrary, he was actually looking forward to Ireland taking action.

After all, in Shoji Hiramoto's eyes, Natsukawa's identity was related to tequila, and he was a ticking time bomb.

Xia Chuan's identity must not be revealed.

Even if Ireland doesn't make a move, Natsukawa will find an opportunity to kill Hitomoto Shoji.

Xia Chuan's face showed hesitation and uncertainty, but in his heart he was urging Ireland on.

Hurry up and do it. If you do it, not only will I avoid one more problem, but I'll also have a reason to report you to Gin.

What do you mean by "refer to"?
Of course, it's about Pisco and Ireland's alleged infighting, which led to the killing of their teammate's subordinate.

That bastard was so quick to steal credit, but now he's so hesitant to even lift a finger.

Ireland was sweating; he couldn't help but feel that Xia Chuan in front of him was strange.

But that problem isn't important right now; the important thing is the mission!

As things have developed, he has already made a major mistake.

The fact that he was impersonating Suzuki's butler was exposed meant that all his previous disguises had come to nothing.

Gin's takeover plan has been carried out covertly, and its exposure will undoubtedly affect subsequent mergers and acquisitions and asset transfers.

What was originally a case stemming from an internal family conflict becomes a different matter if it escalates into an assassination.

The police might even get involved, since the Yakumoto family is a very powerful conglomerate in Tokyo.

In this way, the distillery has no room for maneuver.

It would be a waste of time, and Gin certainly wouldn't accept that.

What would happen if Gin couldn't accept it? Of course, he'd shoot his godfather and him twice and send them both to their deaths.

The speculation may contain elements of exaggeration, but it is not without merit.
Based on his understanding of Gin, if this matter failed, his godfather and he would definitely be in trouble.

It might not be fatal, but it will definitely cause some skin damage.

Damn!

This ship must be sunk; no one here can return to Tokyo.

"Xia Chuan! You!"

Shoji Hiramoto was about to speak and threaten him.

Xia Chuan's expression changed instantly, his eyes becoming like sharp swords!
We absolutely cannot let him reveal his connection to tequila, or things will get messy.

He wielded the fire axe with effortless ease.

The wind was howling.

The fire axe flew out of his hand and moved at high speed, constantly spinning.

The target was Ireland.

There was a railing behind him, and Ireland had no way to retreat unless he jumped into the sea to escape.

But the plan was not yet complete, so how could he be content with that?

Ireland, unsuspecting, used Takumi Shoji as a human shield.

Although he knew that Shoji Hiramoto was one of Tequila's men, he couldn't care less at this point; preserving his life was the priority.

"do not want!"

Shoji Hiromoto was terrified, his eyes wide, trying to struggle but Ireland held him down firmly.

puff~
The fire axe pierced through Shoji Hiramoto's collarbone and continued to penetrate, almost splitting his body open, and crimson liquid gushed out instantly.

The crimson liquid stained the entire corridor blood-red.

Ireland's cheek was half-covered in hot blood.

The shattered disguise mask, covered in large patches of blood, looked even more terrifying.

It has a sense of déjà vu from the Resident Evil movies, with cannibalistic zombies.

"Xia Chuan!"

Just as Xia Chuan was about to chase after Ireland and strike while the iron was hot, he was firmly restrained by Joel.

"It's too dangerous!" Joel said, his voice filled with worry.

The warmth of her hand, filled with care, momentarily stunned Xia Chuan.

Butler Suzuki is very strong, and Joel is worried that Natsukawa is no match for him, even though Natsukawa seems to have some ability as well.

But the opportunity to act was too short, and she couldn't glean anything from that brief performance.

"Ania, you're all I have left."

Xia Chuan paused for a moment.

In that split second, Ireland casually tossed Shoji Hitomoto's body into the sea. Using the railing for leverage, he nimbly climbed the second-floor railing and disappeared from Natsukawa's sight.

"Uncle Xia Chuan, where is that guy?"

Conan arrived late.

Because Ireland left the restaurant, Conan's perspective didn't allow him to see her.

Xia Chuan's action of throwing the fire axe made him mistakenly believe that Suzuki, the butler, was about to kill the hostage, which is why he rushed out quickly.

At this moment, he was carrying a thickened porcelain basin, and his shoes, which enhanced his leg strength, shone with colorful light.

The scorer is in position, but the goal has vanished.

Disappointed.

Conan's glasses reflected a red glow.

The glaring sight of blood made him break out in a cold sweat!

Conan's attention was drawn to the bloodstains left in the corridor, and then he leaned out over the railing to look into the sea.

The cruise ship's voyage stirred up rolling waves, making it impossible to tell whether anything had fallen overboard.

"Did it fall?" Conan asked.

Natsukawa shook his head: "After Shoji Hatomoto was killed by Butler Suzuki, he was thrown into the sea."

"What about Butler Suzuki? Did he jump down too?"

Conan was frantic. It would be very difficult to retrieve a body that had fallen into the sea, especially on such a huge cruise ship. The body had probably already been swept away by the waves and sunk into the deep sea.

Judging by the amount of bleeding, it would definitely attract the attention of sharks after falling into the deep sea, and its body would probably be difficult to keep intact.

This murderer actually killed people right in front of him, and not just one!
Damn it, they completely disregard him!

Looks like another professional killer.

Conan felt a strong sense of powerlessness and frustration.

Encountering two assassins in three days, that's some incredible luck.

Three people died on Moonshadow Island, and the police are estimated to still be searching for the killer on the island.

Five people have died on the luxury cruise ship so far, and now the murderer has escaped. I wonder if the rest of the Yabumoto family will be targeted.

Adding to the fact that I inexplicably encountered a gunfight before, my luck lately has been just too 'good'.

Moreover, his reasoning is completely useless against this type of person; intellectual players and strength players simply cannot be on the same wavelength.

"They've probably already run away by the time they got to the second floor."

"Ran?"

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri, who was rushing over, didn't even bother to catch his breath and kicked again, aiming for the second-floor plank.

We absolutely must find Suzuki's butler; it's insane.

Mariko Hatomoto and Shoji Hatomoto also died.

At this point, five members of the Hiramoto family had been killed in action.

The already small and sparsely populated Yamamoto family lost half its members overnight, and most of them were men. Now their lineage is about to end, with only one heir remaining.

This situation can only be described in four words.

Cruel!

Natsukawa was unaware of Kogoro Mouri's thoughts; otherwise, he would have told him.

The main family is gone, and the only son has two lives on his hands. He's in serious trouble and could face at least twenty years in prison.

Twenty years is a long time, but it's also a short time. First, he has to get through this year.
Fortunately, in Japan, it's common for sons-in-law to adopt sons. To put it more leniently, as long as the surname Yabumoto exists, the Yabumoto family will continue to exist.
Do not know why.

Takeshi Yamamoto, the last surviving adopted son-in-law of the Yamamoto family, suddenly felt the burden on his shoulders grow even heavier.

at this time.

The only male heir of the Yamamoto family, Yamamoto Ichiro, knelt before his mother, heartbroken.

He held his mother's body and wept bitterly, ignoring the blood that had soaked through his clothes.

The story of someone who loses both parents overnight and is about to inherit a large fortune is truly poignant.

A perfect template for the protagonist of an orphanage on Qidian.com.

Next, he was framed, his girlfriend broke off the engagement, and he left with nothing.

As the saying goes, fortunes change every thirty years, and Ichiro Hiramoto's road to a comeback is about to begin.

However, things are not that simple. Ichiro Hiramoto, who has two lives in his hands, does not need to wait until he is left penniless to wake up!

His hands were stained with blood, which made him completely lose his mind.

His reddened eyes expressed his anger; at that moment, he was like a raging bull.

"Damn Suzuki! I'm going to kill you!"

At this point, he realized that his father's death was also Suzuki's doing.

When parents offer sacrifices to Heaven, their power is boundless.

Ichiro Hiramoto felt power rising from the soles of his feet, and the fury of revenge controlled his body.

"Ichiro, what are you doing?"

Akie Hatomoto's voice drew Natsukawa's attention.

Turn around and look.

Then, Ichiro Hatomoto strode out of the kitchen, carrying a black briefcase.

Is it a gun?
But why put it in the kitchen? Isn't it inconspicuous to hide it in the kitchen?

Before Natsukawa could make any further guesses, Ichiro Hiramoto had already opened his briefcase.

Ichiro Hatomoto quickly pulled out a fruit knife that was over thirty centimeters long.

"What are you trying to do?" Xia Chuan frowned and scolded.

The situation is now developing in the direction he wants, and he doesn't want Ichiro Hiramoto to do anything that would affect his plans.

However, anger had made Ichiro Hiramoto reckless, and no voice could influence his decision.

We've already killed two, let's kill one more!

He is still your enemy; he killed your parents.

Such a voice occupied Ichiro Hiramoto's mind.

"Do you want to die?" Xia Chuan asked again.

This guy probably wanted revenge on Ireland, so he was carrying a knife.

Although it's a little longer than the Irish short blade, when it comes to a contest, length isn't the deciding factor. This guy going there would be suicide.
