Isn't it very scientific to use the Death Note to kill people?

But if you listen carefully, you'll find that there is actually no wind; the sound is just a wind effect coming from a hidden speaker.

"It feels like walking onto the set of a horror movie."

Sonoko was somewhat excited.

In contrast, Xiaolan felt quite uncomfortable all over.

"...It feels a bit scary."

"It's okay, I think most of them aren't as scary as me, right?" Lin Jiashu looked at her.

"But because you're Yoshiki-nii, you can't be afraid at all."

"is it?"

For some reason, Lin Jiashu's tone sounded somewhat regretful.

The girl blinked.

"I'm actually looking forward to seeing how scared and flustered you are, Xiaolan."

"What?!"

With her cheeks puffed out in a sullen manner, she looked almost too cute, even if she were a female ghost.

Lin Jiashu smiled.

At this moment, his gaze began to sweep around.

Vodka should be on this ship by now, right?

Even if the person is disguised as a monster, given their physique, they should be easy to find.

However, after looking around the whole scene, Lin Jiashu didn't notice anything, but he did see a bandaged strange man and Medusa paying attention to this side.

"The party is about to start."

Lin Jiashu's attention was quickly drawn to the figure wearing a skull mask and a pirate hat that appeared in the cabin.

The other person's figure looked incredibly sinister under the lights below.

"All you demons and monsters who wander aimlessly in the underworld, welcome to this ghost ship tonight—the Ghost of the Sea."

"I am the captain of this ship."

"There's still an hour before the banquet, so please find your comrades who share your fate and find the other six comrades who have the same mark as you."

Similarly, the "engraving" refers to the tarot cards received when boarding the ship.

Because they boarded the ship in the same batch, Lin Jiashu and the others all received the Black Goat, which is the "Devil" card.

"We have four people here, so we need three more."

“I remember that the two people over there were right behind us when they boarded the ship.”

Lin Jiashu looked at the bandaged man and Medusa.

The two of them clearly realized this and came over to join the group.

"You two came together, right?" Lin Jiashu asked, looking at them.

“That’s right, so what?” Medusa asked with a smile.

"If you're together, then I think the other person must be a crew member on this ship."

"Staff?"

Xiaolan was a little confused.

Looking at the pale-skinned Ran, Medusa... that is, Kudo Yukiko, had an undisguised fondness in her eyes. She smiled and said, "I know that the reason why the guests are divided into groups for this event is not just for playing games. This party is also a movie selection event."

"Selection?"

"You guys probably know that every summer a movie called 'The Ghost Captain' is released, right? It's the one where if someone does something bad, a ghost ship full of monsters will come knocking on their door. This party is the fourth one this year, and the film crew blends in with the guests every year to carefully observe each one. Many people who dream of becoming actors seize the opportunity to try their best to perform on this ship."

"So that's how it is—"

Xiaolan then realized why so many monsters looked so real; they were all just putting on an act.

Lin Jiashu then took out his phone.

"Excuse me for a moment."

He walked towards the deck with a slightly hunched back.

Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but laugh at him, "Taking out your phone while playing a ghost? Someone like Itsuki would probably be immediately disqualified, right?"

“That’s true… but his Halloween costume looks amazing. Maybe he was chosen just because of his appearance,” Yukiko said with a smile.

Lin Jiashu walked towards the deck, communicating with people via text message.

Just then, Vodka, dressed as a zombie, came out of the restroom and overheard the staff's conversation in the hallway.

"Shinichi Kudo, that high school detective who might be Kaito Kid is on the ship too!"

"real or fake?"

"Didn't they say he's hiding now?"

"There were rumors a while ago that he was involved in some case and was murdered, weren't there?"

"This is definitely all fake. I met him downstairs just now. He had bandages wrapped around his face, like he was playing a mummy."

Upon hearing this, Vodka immediately reported it to Gin.

The latter replied with a text message: "Jun Du is also on the ship. Let him verify this."

Vodka: "Okay, bro."

Vodka then sent the same text message to Hayashi Yoshiki.

—The other party's identity was too conspicuous. Before boarding the ship, he specifically sent a message to Vodka, telling him not to talk to him in person to avoid revealing anything.

Vodka's best quality is its obedience.

Chapter 326: Akai Shuichi

"Cough cough... cough cough cough—"

"You're coughing really badly! Are you alright? Don't worry, the doctor we're going to see is extremely skilled; he can cure this minor ailment in no time. You'll feel much better soon."

The bug could be heard transmitting a child's cough and a woman's voice.

At the same time, there was the sound of a car driving.

It's a little past eight o'clock now.

While keeping track of the time, Lin Jiashu looked at the various pieces of information that had been sent to his phone.

He also received the text message from Vodka.

"Everything is already in place, right?"

"it is good."

"Don't act rashly."

Lin Jiashu calmly gave instructions to Shimizu Reiko and Urashi Seiran.

There wasn't much that Yoshiki Hayashi could actually do about this full moon incident.

But as long as I can reap the benefits in the end, that's enough.

Vermouth is a troublesome guy.

Although she protects Shinichi Kudo and Ran, Ai Haibara is the only one she sees as a thorn in her side... She seems to harbor a considerable degree of hatred towards Ai Haibara, and this hatred probably stems from the latter's parents.

Meanwhile, Jodie Starling drove Conan, disguised as Ai Haibara, to the dock.

Vermouth, disguised as Araide Tomoaki, followed closely behind. She didn't even need any tracking skills; she was simply led to a secluded dock by him.

As they reached their destination, Judy abruptly turned the steering wheel, and the car drifted and turned around to face Shinichiro's car.

"Ms. Judy!"

"Oh, Dr. Araide, what can I do for you?"

"That's exactly what I was going to ask you: what exactly do you want to do with that child?"

Vermouth got out of the car and walked toward Judy with a serious expression.

The two, who knew each other's true identities, were still acting until this point, but it wasn't until Judy exposed Vermouth's disguise that she finally tore off her mask.

After catching up, Vermouth finally remembered that the FBI agent in front of her was actually the little girl who had survived the family she had killed years ago.

The two then took action.

Because of the inconvenience caused by wearing a bulletproof vest, Vermouth drew her gun but before she could pull the trigger, Judy preemptively knocked the gun out of her hand. In the instant the gun left her hand, Judy aimed the gun at her head and said, "Stand there and don't move!"

"Oh dear, this is a real problem. You actually brought such a dangerous thing with you..."

Vermouth was not nervous at all.

Because all of this was part of her plan—in order to extract information from her, the other party obviously wouldn't want to kill her right away.

"I have something to ask you."

"What is it?"

"Why...why did you..."

Judy, holding a revolver in both hands, warily aimed at Vermouth, who had her hands raised: "Never grow old?"

Because of her parents' feud, Judy has been investigating Vermouth for a long time.

The other person's appearance has remained unchanged for 20 years, and they are incredibly young. She even compared the other person's fingerprints with those of Vermouth's mother, Sharon, and the result was chilling—it was the same person!

Just as Judy was pressing for answers, hoping to finally get some, a small flame suddenly appeared on the warehouse in the distance.

Calvados fired the shot.

The bullet struck Judy directly in the side, and the blood that splattered onto the car window made Conan's pupils shrink.

The situation has reversed.

Seeing that Judy was so badly wounded that she could barely hold her gun, Vermouth casually walked up to her, squatted down, picked up her gun, pointed it at her, and began to question her about intelligence.

Vermouth already knew that Judy had been watching her and even sneaking into her residence to investigate, so she decided to use this as a pretext to set this trap.

However, when Conan took off his disguise and came down, Vermouth was genuinely a little flustered.

"No way?"

The unexpected turn of events made her realize that something was wrong.

In that instant, she thought of many things.

My purpose has been seen through!?

Could it be Cointreau?

If it were him, what would he mean by letting Yukiko's son take this risk?

No, that's not right...

Vermouth has already confirmed that Cointreau is currently on that ghost ship.

It probably wasn't him.

Conan pointed his watch scope at Vermouth:

“You’d better not move. Your body is in a blind spot of the rifle right now, and your teammates can’t save you… I think you’d better drive behind Ms. Judy and we can go for a drive to the police station together.”

Vermouth fell silent.

Conan revealed a stern smile—this time they've finally caught a big fish.

However, at this time,

A red dot flickered on the ground and quickly approached Conan, stopping on his forehead in the blink of an eye.

Infrared sight

While Conan was stunned, Vermouth's expression also changed. She suddenly turned around and looked in the direction from which the infrared beam came, only to find that it was not Calvados's location at all!

While Conan froze, his face turning pale, Vermouth gritted her teeth and rushed forward.

When the red dot landed on her, she immediately turned away and moved to the side to avoid it.
