Conan Rick's Investigator

"Yes."

After hanging up the intercom, Kaito Watari walked back to the captain's room and looked around.

This captain's room had only been in use for two days when it was about to sink to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

He walked over to the huge rudder and touched the new paint on it.

"well……"

A hint of pity flashed across Kaito Wataru's eyes, and he turned around and was about to walk out of the captain's room.

But at this moment, a slender figure gradually emerged from the darkness in the captain's room.

"Aren't you going to live and die with the ship?"

"Captain..."

Kaito Wataru stopped and looked back, and saw the woman walking out of the shadows, it was Akiyoshi Miwako, and he was instantly shocked.

"What are you doing here? The ship is about to sink, why don't you leave now..."

Before he could finish his words, Akiyoshi Miwako interrupted him.

"Do you still remember this?"

"This is my father's favorite thing when he was alive..."

As she spoke, she took out a paper boat from her arms and placed it on the table next to her.

Hai Teng Du stared at the paper boat on the table. The unique way of folding it made him think of a person.

“Hello, you are here…”

"That's right, I'm the daughter of Captain Okita, who was killed by you and the Yashiro father and daughter fifteen years ago!"

Kaito Watari was surprised.

Akiyoshi Miwako raised her spear gun and aimed it at Kaito Watari's forehead. Her beautiful eyes suppressed anger as she said, "I'm sorry, I've already damaged the remaining life raft."

“W-What are you…?”

"Shut up!" Akiyoshi Miwako shouted, then glanced around. "It's a bit cramped in here. Let's go outside where there's more space and talk."

Kaito Watari raised his eyebrows, but because of the harpoon in the other party's hand, he could only obey.

The two of them walked through the corridor that had begun to tilt and arrived at the deck at the bow.

The sea breeze here is mixed with the drizzling rain, splashing on the ground to form a layer of light water mist 10 meters high.

The two men standing on the deck felt as if they were facing off against old enemies, except that one of them was forced to raise his hands. The outcome of this duel was in no doubt.

"Akiyoshi... Ms. Okita, I think you might have misunderstood something..."

"Misunderstand?"

Akiyoshi Miwako held the spear and sneered, "Humph, what's there to misunderstand?"

"Half a year ago, Kusaka said he wanted to write a script for a TV series and then came to interview me, but it seemed that he was more concerned with

The interview with the unrelated father and daughter of the eighth generation seems very suspicious."

"So I secretly checked his computer while he was in the bathroom..."

"Now I know the truth behind the Yashiro Maru's accidental sinking fifteen years ago... So this is Kusaka's true purpose."

"The next day I went to ask Yashiro Hideto, gave him some strong liquor, and he told me everything."

"The fact is that the shipwreck was not an accident, but was planned by humans."

"But he never imagined that I was Okita's daughter..."

Akiyoshi Miwako was getting closer and closer, and the arrow of the harpoon in her hand was getting closer and closer to Kaito Watari.

Kaito Wataru subconsciously wanted to retreat, but Akiyoshi Miwako shouted directly, "Don't move!"

"I'm going to send you and the Yashiro father and daughter to hell, just like my poor father who died an innocent and tragic death!"

Kaito Watari raised his hands and quickly explained, "Actually, the truth of 15 years ago is not what you think..."

"Shut up! I don't want to hear your excuses now!"

"Go to hell!"

Akiyoshi Miwako's fingers gradually exerted force, and the trigger was pressed down deeper and deeper.

But at this moment, a magnetic male voice sounded from the other side of the deck.

"stop!"

The sound of wind and rain did not drown out the man's voice. Akiyoshi Miwako, who was about to kill her enemy, suddenly turned around and saw a mature man in a black suit standing there.

"You are indeed the real murderer, Akiyoshi Miwako."

Kogoro Mouri walked towards us calmly from not far away, with his hands in his pockets.

Seeing this, Akiyoshi Miwako quickly turned the gun around and pointed it at the approaching Maori Kogoro, "Stop, don't come over here!"

"Hmph..." Maori Kogoro chuckled and shrugged his shoulders, "Sorry, the gun is broken."

"I was trying to tamper with the gun by pretending I needed to go to the bathroom, but it had somehow become broken."

Hearing this, Akiyoshi Miwako was stunned for a moment, then pulled the trigger several times.

But as Kogoro Mori said, the arrow on the spear gun just couldn't be fired.

"cut!"

Akiyoshi Miwako threw the spear gun aside and shrugged her shoulders as if she had accepted her fate.

"Never mind. The outcome is the same anyway. I destroyed the life raft. All three of us will die on this ship..."

Kogoro Mori smiled slightly, not moved at all.

"But even so, I still need to make inferences..."

"Because it's the nature of a detective to uncover the truth."

As Kogoro Mouri spoke, he walked to the front of the deck. His leather shoes made a "squeaking" sound as they rubbed against the floor in the rain.

"According to my reasoning, you probably knew in advance that Kusaka was planning to kill Yashiro and the others..."

"However, his plan is too immature and will never succeed."

"So you used Kusaka's alibi to create an alibi for yourself and started your own revenge plan."

"First, you're equipped with bombs that are different from the Kusaka's. This is a ship you designed yourself, so you know exactly where its fatal weakness is."

"Then around 10 o'clock this morning, after talking to Kusakata on the phone, you left the room while he was reading a story, knocked President Takae unconscious while he was taking a shower, put on a bathrobe, and pretended to be the president."

"Then, Kusakabe, who sneaked into the room, and the one standing there in a bathrobe, you are the president."

"You pretended to wrestle the knife from him, piercing the fake plasma you had prepared in the process, making Kusaka think he had achieved his goal."

"After he leaves the room, you will kill the real President Takae, wipe the fake blood off the floor, put on your windbreaker and leave the room."

Hearing Maori Kogoro gradually revealing his murder plan, Akiyoshi Miwako, who was ready to die, did not panic.

She looked at the man in front of her with a hint of amusement.

Seeing that she didn't object, Maori Kogoro continued, "Then you came to the underground dock and happened to see the Eighth Generation Chairman on top of Kusakabe, strangling him."

"So you immediately ran over to them and grabbed the guildmaster's legs..."

"Huh?" Akiyoshi Miwako's expression suddenly became shocked.

From Akiyoshi Miwako's reaction, Kogoro Mori realized that he might have said something wrong, so he wanted to change his words.

“Um… that…”

Just when he was about to embarrass himself, a voice came from nowhere and saved him.

"That's right. You went around to the back, avoiding the president's legs, and instead stabbed him directly in the back with your dagger."

The sudden voice startled Kogoro Mouri and he looked around in confusion.

But the next second, he remembered that he seemed to have another personality, so he felt relieved instantly.

"Yes, yes! He stabbed the president in the back with a knife!"

"And Kusaka took this opportunity to throw the president into the sea. He thought he had done it all himself."

"But you were actually nearby. You planned to wait until he was done and left so you could throw the dagger and the bathrobe stained with fake blood, along with the other evidence, into the sea to destroy them."

"But just then, an unexpected person appeared at the dock."

"Dr. Cheng Shi is looking for someone in the dock because of hide-and-seek, which has affected your plan."

"So you knocked her out, and then..."

Before Kogoro Mori could finish his words, he saw a puzzled expression on Miwako Akiyoshi's face again.

This instantly made him, who had been extremely confident just a second ago, wilted again, and he subconsciously asked, "Eh? Did I say something wrong again?"

Akiyoshi Miwako nodded.

This made Conan, who was peeking not far away, frown and look confused.

what happened?

Wasn’t it Akiyoshi Miwako who attacked Dr. Cheng Shi in the dock?

According to his reasoning, Kusaka pushed the eighth chairman into the sea at 1015:1020, and Cheng Shi was attacked at least at :, so it is very likely that these two people would not meet.

But if it was Akiyoshi Miwako hiding nearby, she would probably have a chance to attack Cheng Shi.

But now that Akiyoshi Miwako has even admitted to the crime of murder, there is no need for her to be afraid to admit to the attack, right?

Was there someone else in the dock at that time?

On the deck, Akiyoshi Miwako, who had been silent all the time, spoke.

"As expected of the famous detective, Mouri Kogoro..."

"Except for a few minor inaccuracies, everything else is correct."

"The reason I decided to use Kusaka was after I learned that you and Detective Qin were also on the ship..."

"In order to deceive the famous detective, a fake murderer must be devised, and the murderer must also be made to believe that he himself committed the murder."

She slowly walked up to Maori Kogoro and said calmly, "There's another point. That man on the computer was blaming my father for dying with the ship, saying that his ideas were completely out of touch with the times."

"I cannot forgive those who insulted my father..."

At this moment, Kaito Watari suddenly shouted, "That's not the case!"

"What did you say?" Akiyoshi Miwako turned her head and looked at him.

Kaito Watari lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Actually, the truth of 15 years ago is not what you think..."

"Fifteen years ago, no one told me to sink a ship or kill anyone."

"It was Captain Okita who, unbeknownst to anyone on board, caused the Yashiro Maru to stray from its original course."

"As the vice-captain at the time, I discovered this and went to confront Captain Okita, but he..."

"he……"

Kaito Wataru stared with his eyes wide open, as if he was recalling some horrible scene, and his expression twitched slightly.

However, at this moment, there were many more people on the deck.

What a noisy sound of footsteps.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw several crew members coming from the side of the ship, one of them was holding a primary school student wearing glasses.

"Conan?!"

"Izawa?"

Kogoro Mori and Wataru Kaito recognized the faces of several people and were very surprised.

"Yize, why haven't you left yet?" asked Kaito Watari.

Ize is the second captain of the ship, a man with a thin face.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a somewhat ferocious smile, "Captain, I'm here to pick you up..."

"But we're not getting off the ship. We're going to a place on the ship."
