Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

Sileov nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, if you were on a ship with that murderer, you probably wouldn't be able to sleep well."

That's right.

The people around him nodded in agreement.

But Conan keenly sensed that something was wrong.

If the person using the rope ladder attached to the side of the deck was indeed the murderer, why didn't he remove it after the crime? It shouldn't have been difficult.

However, they chose to leave the rope ladder behind, which they were supposed to take with them. If it weren't for the urgency of the situation and the inability to remove it in time, there would probably only be one explanation: someone deliberately left it behind to create the illusion that the murderer had already left!

As Conan pondered this, he suddenly remembered something and took off running in one direction.

"Hey? Conan? What are you doing?"

Ran looked at Conan running outside in surprise and quickly asked him a question.

"Sister Xiaolan, my stomach hurts and I'm going to the toilet first. You don't need to worry about me."

Without turning his head, Conan shouted something and then disappeared around the corner.

Xiao Lan was puzzled by his anxious look, but she only glanced at him a few times before looking away and not paying attention to him anymore.

Seeing this, Yukiko, who was not far away, also quietly withdrew from the room without attracting the attention of others.

……

At the foot of the stairs, in a small cubicle.

Conan was squatting inside, looking anxious, holding his watch, seemingly on the phone with someone.

"Hello? Is this Professor Agasa? This is Conan."

"Conan? What's wrong? What happened?" Professor Agasa's voice came through the watch.

"Doctor, I need you to help me investigate someone, a killer who specializes in shooting people in the right eye. Use your database to see if you can find this person."

"A murderer who specifically targets the right eye, let me investigate."

Inside Beika City, Professor Agasa, dressed in a white lab coat, sat up from the sofa, went to the computer desk, and began operating the computer, his hands moving constantly as he asked questions:

"Has something happened to you again, Conan?"

no respond.

Dr. Agasa was puzzled and looked down at his phone, only to find that the call had been disconnected sometime earlier.

"This child."

Dr. Agasa shook his head, didn't think much of it, put his phone aside, and continued searching.

Meanwhile, in a small compartment on the cruise ship.

Feeling the cold object pressed against the back of his head, Conan's hair stood on end, and he obediently raised both hands.

"Making a phone call? I never expected that the person most concerned about my identity on the ship would be a kid!"

A cold, piercing voice came from behind. The voice's owner seemed to lack skill in voice modulation, producing a hoarse and mocking sound that was extremely unpleasant.

Is it that murderer?

This was Conan's first reaction.

But the person in front of him didn't seem to have the habit of hiding, and slowly turned to face Conan directly.

But the appearance of the person in front of him surprised Conan greatly.

"you……"

Looking at "Yukiko" in front of him, Conan was momentarily speechless.

His worst suspicion about the "mother" in front of him was that she was Kaito Kid, but he never imagined that she might be the murderer in disguise!

"Aunt Yukiko, what are you doing?"

Conan forced a smile, looking at "Yukiko" holding a pistol in front of him, a hint of instinctive tension flashing in his eyes.

No one is unafraid of death, especially when death is so close.

"Aunt Yukiko? You're here?"

A voice came from behind, and Conan's eyes widened immediately upon hearing it.

It's Xiaolan!

Conan immediately tried to resist or send a signal to Ran, but before he could make any move, the person in front of him covered his mouth and pressed the gun against the ground even harder.

"Oh, it's Xiaolan. What's up?"

Yukiko was facing away from Ran. Because of a small partition about half a person's height blocking the view, Ran couldn't see what was happening inside, and naturally, she didn't notice Conan being held down tightly inside.

"Oh, right, it's Conan."

Ran looked around but couldn't find Conan: "Has Aunt Yukiko seen Conan?"

……

Chapter 347 Joke

"Conan?"

Yukiko increased the pressure on Conan's hand, pressing it so hard that Conan's mouth hurt.

"I didn't see it. I remember he said he was going to the bathroom, didn't he?"

"Yes, but it seems he's been gone for quite a while," Xiaolan said, puzzled.

"Then I'll go take another look ahead."

"it is good."

Yukiko smiled and nodded.

"Waaaaah~~"

What was that sound?

Xiao Lan, who was just about to leave, turned her head in confusion, but the voice seemed to disappear without a trace in an instant, which puzzled her.

"What's wrong, Xiaolan? Is there anything else?"

Yukiko looked up with feigned confusion, while subtly lowering her head to pick up her pistol and warn Conan to behave.

Conan seemed unwilling to involve Ran, and his struggles gradually weakened as he racked his brains for a solution.

Xiao Lan, who was not far away, looked around again, and after confirming that there was really no sound, she could only nod:

"I must have misheard."

As Xiaolan's footsteps faded into the distance, her figure disappeared completely from the passageway.

Yukiko then turned her gaze back to Conan, the murderous muzzle of her gun once again pointing at his head.

"Any last words, little one?"

Yukiko smiled coldly.

Conan swallowed hard: "I..."

boom--

A shot rang out.

There was no chance for Conan to continue speaking.

Conan only felt a sharp pain in his forehead, and then... that was it.

Looking at the funny little hammer that popped out of the gun barrel and hit his forehead, Conan blinked and asked uncertainly, "Mom?"

"How was it? Did I act it out well, Shinichi-chan?!"

Yukiko playfully put away the toy gun, then raised it again and struck a pose, making her look like a real female assassin.

Conan was speechless with exasperation.

"Mom! You actually played me! How can you treat your son like this?"

Conan shouted angrily.

"Huh? Isn't this normal?" Yukiko asked, looking puzzled.

"Forehead……"

Conan's lips twitched, and he looked speechless.

"By the way, what brings you here all of a sudden? Are you here for an event?"

"Activity……"

Yukiko rested her left cheek on her hand, a smile playing on her lips: "I guess so."

Why did you say "consider it"?

Conan looked up in confusion.

Just then, the electronic watch on Conan's wrist suddenly rang. Conan looked down and saw that it was Professor Agasa calling.

"Hello? Doctor?"

"Conan, I've found out what you asked me to investigate. In the ICPO's criminal intelligence files, there's an extremely mysterious criminal whose gender and age are unknown. All we know is his name: Scorpion!"

"Shi Kaobing?"

Conan pondered the name carefully.

at the same time.

Inspector Megure's investigation was also nearing its end. After exchanging a few more words with everyone, he led his men away from the cruise ship once again.

Of course, before leaving, Inspector Megure specifically asked Yukiko if she wanted to leave with him. After all, although Yukiko had hitched a ride with him, he had brought her along, so he had to ask for her opinion.

However, Yukiko naturally chose to stay, which puzzled Conan, who then prepared to find an opportunity to ask his mother what she was up to this time.

Nighttime.

After dinner, some of the people chose to return to their rooms, while most chose to gather on the deck and chat.
