Conan’s Corpse Picker

After Jiang Xia threw the bomb package, he turned around and saw Ebina Mingmin staring straight at the sea. He fell to his knees as if he had received a huge blow, and the murderous aura lingering on his body gradually fell away.

Ten seconds later, a new murderous aura slowly emerged from this retired social worker who had once decided to blow up a boatload of people, and his serious face became slightly distorted.

Jiang Xia leaned on the railing and said as if chatting: "You are here to find those robbers back then."

The word "robber" touched Ebina Minoru's mind. His dull pupils slightly dilated, and he retracted his gaze towards the sea, turning to the black-clothed puppet in front of him whose clothes were swaying in the sea breeze.

Just listen to her whisper: "Ye Caisan is dead. The remaining three people in the gang are all on the boat now. One of them has turned into a charred corpse, one is hanging on the escalator outside, and the other is mixing with the crowd. You can concentrate on acting - I mean Sadao Whalei. You can wait for the internal strife to end, or you can do what you want to do."

…

Hattori Heiji and Conan were still looking around the ship, sometimes arguing together and sometimes acting separately.

After a while, both sides had basically formed ideas, leaving only the last bit of verification.

Conan returned to the cabin and asked the crew where there was a good hiding place on the ship.

Hattori Heiji was a practical person. He carried a borrowed searchlight and looked around for a hiding place.

After searching all the cabins, when he finally came to the edge of the deck shrouded in deep night, as the searchlight shone on the hull below, a figure suddenly appeared in the circle of light.

Hattori Heiji suddenly paused and turned the flashlight back.

Directly below, he saw a man tied to a ladder, with the roiling water beneath him.

——That person is Hisashi Kanie, who has been missing for a while. However, it was completely different from what he had expected before. Kaniejiu was not actively hiding here, but was firmly tied to the ladder. In addition, a looper rope hung tightly around his neck. The other end of the rope hung down and swayed slightly as the body swayed.

Hattori Heiji's eyes passed over Kaniejiu's ferocious face and his chest that no longer rose and fell, his expression slightly stagnant.

...This man is dead.

The sudden increase in the amount of information caused him to fall into temporary confusion. The appearance of this corpse overturned most of his previous inferences, and by the way, it also overturned Conan's.

... Could it be that when they asked Jiang Xia who was right just now, Jiang Xia didn't say anything, not because he couldn't reason it out, but because Jiang Xia felt that they were both wrong?

Hattori Heiji frowned and reorganized his thoughts.

At the same time, a tall figure behind him sneaked closer under the cover of the sound of waves and sea breeze, raising the steel pipe in his hand - Namui Sadao was passing by just now, and when he saw Hattori Heiji standing in this position, carrying a searchlight, he went down. Photo, you know that this detective knows too much and must not be kept.

…

Hattori Heiji was thinking intently when a voice of "Get away!" suddenly came from behind him. The person who issued the reminder seemed to be running very fast. When the last sound came out, the source of the sound was already much closer.

It was Jiang Xia's voice... When this thought flashed through Hattori Heiji's mind, he subconsciously moved aside.

An iron rod brushed against his shoulder, whipping up strong wind, and knocked heavily on the railing.

Buzz - There was a lengthy buzz. Hattori Heiji turned his head stiffly and looked at the dented railing in confusion. A layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

At the same time, he also saw Sadao Whalei who was holding an iron rod and trying to sneak attack him, and behind Sadao Whalei, there was a stick that was so fast that it was almost a shadow.

... This is a sneak attack that has just ended, and a sneak attack that is ongoing now.

Faced with the sneak attack, Hattori Heiji reflexively wanted to shout "Be careful" and push the attacker down on the way. But in the current scene, he felt like something was wrong.

In the end, Hattori Heiji just hesitated to speak as he watched the swinging stick that came from behind fall and hit Umai Sadao's shoulder hard.

The strong man weighing more than 200 kilograms felt like he had been kicked by an elephant. He rolled and fell to the side. He lay on the deck and couldn't get up for a while.

"I didn't expect that I would encounter such a thing when I came out to enjoy the wind... It seems that the murderer can be caught on the spot." Jiang Xia walked to the side of Whalei Sadao and took a look at Hattori Heiji, whose clothes were soaked in cold sweat and looked slightly embarrassed. "Sure enough, detective is a profession where people can easily be silenced. What did you just see?"

"Kanie was tied to the rope ladder outside and is already dead." Hattori Heiji was talking when he suddenly caught sight of Namai Sadao reaching into his arms and tremblingly taking out a gun.

He tensed up instantly and was about to give a warning, but before he opened his mouth, an elongated swinging stick was swung on Whalei Sadao's wrist with strong wind. The gun slid along the deck, hit the wall with a thud, and stopped.

Jiang Xia glanced at the gun and swung the stick again: "Go and take it, it might be evidence, don't let it fall into the sea."

Hattori Heiji came to his senses and ran over to pick up the gun across the handkerchief. He took out another handkerchief and checked it awkwardly across the handkerchief: "There is a bullet missing. Worker... Conan picked up one in the machine room before. Bullet casings, and from what he said, there was blood on the ground there.”

"So that's it." Jiang Xia raised his hand again and knocked away the dagger Whalei Sadao had fumbled for again.

The dagger moved along the track where the gun had slid along the ground. Hattori Heiji held it down like he was picking up gold coins, and picked it up together and put it away.

At the same time, he also paused slightly because of Jiang Xia's declaration which was equivalent to "I understand everything".

Although he has now roughly sorted out what happened on the ship, many details are still blank. Even so, it was based on the fact that he and Conan exchanged a lot of information, and he himself searched around the ship for a long time. But Jiang Xia has been distracted in the restaurant, under the watch and protection of the crew...

He looked at Jiang Xia with complicated emotions: "Have you deduced everything?"

"Not yet, I'm out of shape today."

Jiang Xia reluctantly raised his hand and pressed his forehead, and then raised the stick with enthusiasm that was not suitable for this situation: "Fortunately, we caught the suspicious person. If you ask him, everything should be clear."

Hattori Heiji:"……"

Whalei Sadao also paused for a moment, waiting, waving a stick and asking questions. This is not what a detective should do.

He suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his heart and struggled to get up: "I didn't kill anyone! I received a threatening letter before, and someone said they were going to attack me, so I took an iron rod to defend myself. I attacked him because I just said As I walked over, I suddenly saw a dark figure. I suspected that someone was trying to harm me, so I hit him first... I overreacted, but I didn't kill him - ow!"
