Conan: Another Famous Detective

Chapter 864 High School Detective

Sonoko's eyes widened slightly when she heard Mouri Kogoro's words: "Yes! And this tone of voice..."

A meaningful smile appeared on Medusa's lips.

The invisible man had a clear view of several people's reactions.

With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, the invisible man took off the top hat on his head and threw it away casually. Then he put his hand to his ear and picked up a small piece of bandage exposed with his fingers.

call!

The bandage on his face was slowly pulled away, and the invisible man's face gradually appeared in front of everyone with the flying bandages.

"This face, why do I feel like I've seen it somewhere before..."

"I think so too!"

"Wait a minute, I remembered, he seems to be..."

A murmur gradually spread among the guests, and the eyes of Mouri Kogoro and Sonoko, who were standing nearest, grew wider and wider.

Finally, the bandage was completely removed, and a handsome face with a confident smile appeared in front of everyone.

Mouri Kogoro immediately screamed: "Kudo Shinichi? How could it be a kid like you!?"

"Why did you appear on this ship?" Yuanzi also asked with a surprised look on his face.

A crowd of guests also burst out into uproar.

"It's really him! The famous high school detective!"

"I heard someone say before that he also came to the ship. I thought it was a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true!"

Shinichi raised his eyebrows slightly and said loudly: "Everyone! Please be quiet!"

The voice seemed to have some kind of magic power, and the originally noisy atmosphere gradually ceased.

Shinichi nodded slightly and said to Mouri Kogoro: "Like you, uncle, I also received the invitation letter and the murder notice letter, so I came to this ship."

"So that's it." Yuanzi suddenly said, and then showed a look of confusion: "However, judging from the note you gave us before, it seems that you already know who the murderer is?"

Shinichi nodded and turned to look at the murderer caught by Moori Kogoro: "I had already identified the suspect before getting on the boat, but I'm just not sure what method he was going to use to kill."

"Please wait a moment!" Captain Gothe shouted: "What is the murder notice? What are you talking about?"

"Oh! That's it!" Mouri Kogoro took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Captain Gothe.

The captain took the letter and read it for a while, and said in surprise: "I have never seen this letter, and to be honest, I have never sent an invitation letter to Mr. Maoli at all."

"Ah? You didn't invite me? But I clearly received the invitation letter!" Mouri Kogoro also took out the invitation letter.

Captain Gothe took it and looked at it, and he was also a little confused: "This is indeed an invitation letter we made, but I have no impression of inviting you, Mr. Maori."

"A celebrity like you will definitely remember it very clearly if I invite you."

He looked at Shinichi again: "The same goes for Mr. Kudo. I don't remember inviting you either."

"What's going on? Did you forge the invitation letter to investigate the murder case?" Yuanzi wondered.

"How is that possible! This murder notice was sent together with the invitation letter!" Mouri Kogoro immediately denied it.

"Me too." Shinichi said.

"This..." Captain Gothe became more and more confused.

"Could it be that the murderer sent us an invitation letter specifically to provoke us?" Mouri Kogoro frowned and looked at the "staff".

"No, it's not me..." the murderer finally spoke.

"If it wasn't you, who else could it be?" Mouri Kogoro asked.

"Uh, um..." The murderer was speechless for a moment.

"It is indeed not the invitation letter Mr. Werewolf sent us." Shinichi smiled.

"Werewolf?" Mouri Kogoro stared: "Boy, what are you talking about? Isn't he a mummy?"

Shinichi shook his head slightly and turned to look at the guests: "Mr. Mummy, please come out for a moment!"

After a commotion in the crowd, a figure emerged from the crowd.

"Hey! What are you doing? Aren't you a werewolf?" Mouri Kogoro shouted.

The figure did indeed wear a wolf-head mask on his head.

However, after listening to Mouri Kogoro's words, the wolf-headed man said: "What are you talking about? How can I be a werewolf?"

Mouri Kogoro pointed to the mask on his face: "You are wearing a werewolf hood, who else could you be if you weren't a werewolf?"

"Mr. Mummy, you will know after you touch your face." Shinichi reminded.

Hearing this, "Werewolf" reached out and touched his face for a while.

Then, he immediately opened his eyes and suddenly pulled off the werewolf hood!

Yuanzi opened her mouth slightly: "Mu... mummy?"

"Werewolf", or mummy, looked at the mask in his hand with confusion in his eyes: "What's going on? When..."

"Mr. Mummy, did you suddenly fall asleep when you were going to the toilet?" Shinichi asked with a smile.

"Well...that's indeed what happened." The mummy nodded.

"The wolf head mask was put on at this time. By the way, do you still have the tarot cards on you?"

Upon hearing this, the mummy immediately started groping on her body.

After a moment, he exclaimed: "My devil card is missing!"

Shinichi gently raised the arrow in his hand: "Your card has been inserted into this arrow by the murderer."

"This..." The mummy opened her mouth wide and was speechless.

Shinichi smiled and said: "Okay, in order to facilitate everyone's understanding, I'd better explain what happened a little bit."

"Mr. Werewolf arrived on this ghost ship as scheduled. However, he did not come to attend the so-called party. Instead, his ultimate goal was to kill the captain. Moreover, he already had a detailed plan."

"He was in the same group as us, and while waiting for the party to start, he claimed that he had to go to the toilet and did not come back until the party was about to start."

"In fact, he has been hiding in the toilet cubicle, waiting for Mr. Mummy to arrive. As soon as he enters the cubicle next to him, he will spray anesthetic from a prepared syringe to stun the mummy."

"Then, he will put the wolf head mask on the opponent's head, and he will leave in the image of a mummy. Even if Mr. Mummy wakes up, because he himself is also wrapped in bandages, he will not be aware of the mask on his head. I’m afraid it won’t be too sensitive.”

"In addition, Mr. Werewolf also broke the mirror outside the toilet, which makes it difficult for Mr. Mummy to realize that he is now wearing a werewolf mask."

"This way, Mr. Mummy will be operating as a werewolf on the ship and provide an alibi for the real Mr. Werewolf when he comes on deck and shoots the captain."

"However, by coincidence, Mr. Werewolf and Mr. Mummy happened to get the same tarot card. As far as I know, this tarot card should be decided by you, the captain, right? Other staff have no way of knowing."

"It's true. Each guest has only one of these cards. There will be no redundant ones, and there is no possibility of imitation in advance, because I have many types of cards, and I won't tell you in advance which ones to use. "The captain nodded.

Shinichi nodded lightly and continued: "Such a coincidence gave Mr. Werewolf an idea and inserted the card into the arrow that was originally going to pierce the captain's heart."

"In this way, after the incident, people who saw it will definitely think that the person without Tarot cards is the murderer, and he will blame Mr. Mummy."

Shinichi finally looked at Mr. Werewolf dressed as a mummy: "How's it going? Mr. Werewolf, is there anything you want to correct?"
