Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 744: Six hundred suspects

In the infirmary of the Aphrodite, Gao Cheng and Xiaolan who hurried over stood beside the hospital bed, gulping hot water while looking at the garden covered with towels.

"I thought I was dead..." Yuanzi hugged the teacup with tears in her eyes.

"You can rest assured, as long as you keep your body warm and take a rest, you will be fine..."

Dr. Mizukubo, the ship's doctor, is a very experienced middle-aged uncle. Seeing Sonoko's condition, he smiled and said, "Fortunately, it was discovered in time. If it is later, it may be dangerous."

Gao Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, in a small freezer, hypothermia and lack of oxygen can cause big trouble.

Fortunately, Yuanzi was safe and sound, but...

Gao Cheng frowned.

"Any clues about the culprit?"

"Actually, when we went to Sister Li's room," Mori Kogoro said in a deep voice, "I saw a guy who seemed to come out of Room 604, wearing a windbreaker and a hoodie, and he couldn't see his face. Maybe it was the murderer who killed President Guijiang...

"And, according to your inference, the Eighth Generation Chairman may have also encountered misfortune."

"Get out of Room 604..."

Gao Cheng also remembered that when he was looking for Sister Li, he seemed to have indeed passed such a person.

But the time at that time was around 10:15...

"Well," the uncle asked Yuanzi thoughtfully, "tell us the details again, what happened at the dock?"

Yuanzi looked at Gao Cheng, and recalled: "I went to the dock to look for Xiaolan, and suddenly someone ran up from behind and hit me on the shoulder with a stick, and I passed out..."

"Sister Sonoko, have you seen the suspect's face?" Conan asked.

"Well," Yuanzi thought for a while, then smiled embarrassedly, "I seem to have seen it, but I can't remember it..."

"What time?"

"It's 10:11, I just checked the time!" Yuanzi affirmed.

Gao Cheng walked out of the consultation room with his hands crossed.

At 10:11, just after I contacted Xiao Ai, it was the same as what he deduced...

However, the suspicious person encountered in the corridor on the 6th floor was at 10:15, and the time was wrong.

Did you return to the 6th floor after attacking the garden?

...

"Buzz!" On the apron of the cruise ship deck, Kogoro Mori greeted the police officer Megure and his party who came by helicopter amidst the sound of huge propellers.

"Thank you, Megure Police Department!"

"Brother Maori!"

Megure walked off the helicopter with Takagi and Shiratori, and held down the hat on his head to prevent it from being blown away by the wind. Although he received a report, the specifics of the case were not clear.

"Where is the whereabouts of the eighth generation president?"

"I don't know so far," Mori Kogoro stepped forward and explained, "However, according to the current situation, it is very likely that he was thrown into the sea, and the Coast Guard has been notified..."

"Mr. Mori," Takagi couldn't help sighing, "Whether it's the sky or the sea, as long as you are there, there will be murders..."

"Do you plan to take a rocket to space next time?"

"How is it possible?" The uncle listened to the familiar teasing, snorted and looked at the few people and said, "I just followed Chenghu and the others this time, so I should tell Chenghu boy, right?!"

"Mr. Mori, you don't need to be humble. No matter what, Detective Kido is just a junior, isn't he?"

"I……"

The uncle raised his beard and angrily led everyone into the cabin.

"Chairman Guijiang was killed about 10:15, when a suspicious person with a hidden face appeared in the corridor. In addition, the chairman of the Yatsushiro left while playing billiards with the former Prime Minister Mr. Niimi, and then lost sight...

"Now it seems that he should have gone to the dock, because the president's iron fan was found in the dock, and a little blood was also found by the gate, but I don't know if it is the blood of the president himself."

"Okay," Mu Mu said cautiously, "the dock, and the room of the eighth-generation father and daughter. Next, we will mainly investigate these two places, and keep in touch with the security booth at the sea!"

"yes!"

While waiting for the police to investigate, Gao Cheng also looked at the room of the father and daughter of the eighth generation. President Gui Jiang was lying in front of the curtain, and he could see it when he entered the door.

He was wearing a bathrobe, with a towel covering his head, and a dagger stuck in his abdomen. The blood stained the bathrobe all over the floor. A pair of beautiful legs that did not match his age were exposed, and a slipper was left aside.

It seems that he just walked out of the bathroom and was killed while drying his hair...

Gao Cheng put his hand in and walked to the side of the corpse, his eyes were attracted by a pool of smudges near the corpse's arm, there seemed to be pools of blood wiped off on the wine-red carpet.

The location is quite strange, and it looks particularly abrupt in the whole murder scene, at least in Gao Cheng's eyes.

The conference hall on the ship was used as a temporary search headquarters by Mumu. After the investigation and evidence collection was completed under the leadership of Uncle Maori, the head of the forensic team reported to Mumuhui: "The fingerprints of the eight generations of presidents are all concentrated in the blood-stained area. Near the entrance of the dock, the blood on the ground also matches the blood type of Chairman Yatsushiro..."

"It can't be wrong," Mori Kogoro said, putting his hands together, "It's probably because the president was attacked by someone in the dock, and then he opened the gate and pushed him into the sea. I think it must be the case."

Mumu nodded, looked at Gao Cheng who had come in and hadn't spoken, and asked, "Then what about Brother Chenghu, what do you think?"

"Uh," Gao Cheng woke up with a start, and when he saw everyone looking at him, he said hastily, "We have to wait until the Eighth Generation Chairman is found. The most important thing now is to find the suspect and arrange the trip of Guijiang President and Eighth Generation Chairman. Ms. Xia Fan, who is in charge of the babysitting job, probably not many people know about it..."

Gao Cheng walked to the whiteboard on the rostrum and picked up a marker pen.

"President Guijiang went to play squash on the seventh floor with Mrs. Xinjian at 9 o'clock. It ended at about 9:30 and returned to the room at 9:35. He was killed after 10 o'clock after taking a shower. We met the suspect at 10 o'clock. Fifteen minutes past."

"President Yatsushiro's itinerary, played billiards on the 3rd floor with Mr. Niimi at 9:30, left suddenly around 10:8, and then disappeared in the dock. At 10:11 in the middle, the garden was attacked by prisoners and taken to a nearby morgue. , so the president was killed after 10:11..."

Mu Mu watched Gao Cheng writing on the whiteboard without blinking, and asked Kaho Tsujimoto who called him: "Miss Tsujimoto, is that so?"

"Well," Tsujimoto Kaho nodded, "I'm in charge of arranging the itinerary."

"Who else knows their itinerary?" Mu Mu continued to ask.

"I only mentioned it to Director Misaki," Tsujimoto Kaho looked at Naoya Misaki, the waiter next to him, and said, "Others probably don't know."

"Is it just the two of you?"

Mu Mu murmured.

"The suspect Maori saw was about 170cm tall and thin, about the same size as the murdered President Guijiang, so at least the two of you are not suspected..."

Shiratori looked at the two of them who were either short or overweight, and analyzed: "If you insist, Ms. Tsujimoto needs to grow 10 centimeters..."

"No," Uncle Mao Li shook his head, "Although I didn't pay special attention, the other party should not be wearing height increasing shoes..."

"I don't know if it's a man or a woman just based on these characteristics," Takagi recorded next to him, "Mr. Mori, is there anything else special?"

"It seems to be gone. When I wear that windbreaker, most of my body and face are covered. By the way, I should also wear glasses!"

"Anyone can wear glasses."

Mu Mu was speechless and looked at Mao Li who looked like he was thinking of a key clue, then turned to Gao Cheng and said, "Then, brother Chenghu, did you notice anything?"

"No, I was thinking about other things at the time," Gao Cheng said while looking at the writing on the blackboard, "and if that person is really a prisoner, there are still some problems that cannot be explained..."

"Where's the garden? Really can't remember?"

"Well, I don't remember the other person's appearance, but it seems to be wearing a windbreaker."

Gao Cheng put down the marker pen, temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, and asked Kaho Tsujimoto, "Miss Tsujimoto, has everyone distributed commemorative trench coats?"

"Only passengers have it," Tsujimoto Kaho replied, "and neither the president nor the president, so Mr. Mori should not be seeing the president."

"However," Shiratori interjected, "I think all the crew members can easily get one if they want to. I can't make any judgment on this point, but we can investigate from the motive of committing the crime.

"The suspect did not touch the deceased's wallet and valuables such as gems, which should be a personal grudge.

"In addition, there is no sign that the door lock of the room has been pried open. Either the victim let the suspect in, or the suspect has a universal room card..."

Mu Mu frowned slightly when he heard the words, and Xiang Mizhi also asked: "Mr. Misaki, who has the master key on board?"

"There are quite a lot of people," Misaki Naoya said, "Besides me, the guards, Xia Fan who is in charge of the nanny, and the waiter who cleans the room, almost everyone has..."

"This is difficult," Mu Mu frowned, "We can only investigate from the perspective of social relations..."

It is completely conceivable how many enemies the Yatsushiro Group has, so the scope will be large. It is really a big project to screen the more than 600 people on board and investigate the alibi.

"Anyway, Takagi," Megure ordered, "You continue to ask the passengers for information, try to find witnesses, and Mr. Misaki and Ms. Tsujimoto will talk about the crew and passengers in detail..."

Gao Cheng and Conan, who was thinking with his chin resting on his shoulders, stood on the side, glanced at this guy, turned around and followed Gao Mu out of the conference hall. .

After working for half a day, my brain was really exhausted, my stomach was flattened, and I was so uncomfortable, it happened to be lunch time, so I better go eat something first.

No matter what, the prisoner must still be on this ship. Even if there were more than 600 people including the crew, he would definitely be able to find this guy out.
