At the same time, on the ghost ship

Kudo Shinichi, who revealed his true face, caused heated discussions among the people on the ship.

The outside world was saying that Kudo Shinichi was involved in a case and died, but now he suddenly appeared here, and he looked like he had seen through the truth, which made people talk about it.

Although he always disliked Kudo Shinichi, facing someone he hadn't seen for a long time, Maori Kogoro still chose to say hello: "Long time no see, detective boy! Why are you here?"

Kudo Shinichi smiled: "I am the same as Detective Maori. I received an invitation letter."

Maori Kogoro muttered softly: "This stinky boy, he doesn't even call me uncle?"

Forget it, now is the time to solve the case, so I won't bother with him.

He snorted coldly and said, "I admit that your appearance is a bit cool, but unfortunately, this case has been solved by me.

Mr. Fukuura was standing on the observation deck where you were just now. When he was about to give the clue of the problem, the murderer sneaked onto the deck, put the devil's tarot card on the cross arrow, and then shot Mr. Fukuura with the cross arrow."

"And this murderer," he raised his finger and turned to point at the mummy, "the only one I can think of is this mummy who has no alibi and no devil tarot card!"

The mummy was shocked, but he didn't know how to explain what he had just said, so he could only shake his head desperately to deny it.

Maori Kogoro pointed at Kudo Shinichi and asked: "Tell me, what's wrong with my reasoning?"

Kudo Shinichi cleared his throat and said: "You just mentioned the alibi and tarot cards, right? As for the tarot cards, most likely the murderer stole them from Mr. Mummy in order to frame him."

"The criminal stole them?" Maori Kogoro looked unconvinced, "If you look at it from the perspective that the mummy is not the murderer, then the tarot cards can only be stolen from him by the murderer, or picked up from somewhere, after all, each person only has one of these tarot cards."

Kudo Shinichi nodded and said: "I can't guarantee whether the murderer knows this, but the tarot cards were indeed stolen from the mummy by the murderer, and in the toilet."

"Toilet?" Maori Kogoro showed a blank expression. He looked at the mummy, but the other party also shook his head in confusion to indicate that he didn't know.

Kudo Shinichi didn't care and continued to explain: "If I'm not mistaken, the murderer should have entered the compartment next to the mummy, used anesthetics or other drugs to make the mummy fall asleep through the gap below, turned over from above, and stole the tarot cards from him."

"Ah? Do you have any evidence to prove this?" Maori Kogoro's first reaction was to disbelieve it. Isn't this statement a bit too self-evident?

Kudo Shinichi shrugged his shoulders: "No, I just gave the simplest example. With so much time in between, the tools used to commit the crime might have been thrown into the sea and could not be found."

Mouri Kogoro looked down and said contemptuously: "What kind of reasoning is this? There is not even any decent evidence. Don't tell me you don't even know the murderer!"

Kudo Shinichi didn't care and said with a smile: "Even without those evidences, the murderer who killed Mr. Fukuura tonight can still be inferred. And there is only one person who can do this, that is, the werewolf who followed the mummy into the toilet!"

"Werewolf?" Maori Kogoro was stunned and said inexplicably, "What nonsense are you talking about! The werewolf had already come out of the toilet and returned to the bar before Mr. Fukuura had a problem. We saw it with our own eyes!"

Suzuki Sonoko also nodded in agreement.

Maori Kogoro continued: "On the contrary, no one present saw when the mummy came out of the toilet!"

Hearing Maori Kogoro's words, the mummy was a little excited and shouted loudly: "What are you talking about, Mr. Maori! Didn't I just say that when I came out of the toilet, I ran past you! Mr. Maori, you are not in the same group with the murderer, right?"

The mummy was so excited that he couldn't help talking.

"Ah?!" Maori Kogoro's face suddenly changed, "Are you doubting the memory of my famous detective Maori Kogoro? Even if I remembered it wrong, the other people with me couldn't remember it wrong at the same time, right?"

"But, but, when Mr. Fukuura was in trouble, I was also by your side!" The mummy was about to cry out of grievance. Why did this detective lie with his eyes open? What he said was obviously true!

But Kogoro Mori didn't believe it at all. Although the light was not bright at that time, he could still distinguish the mummy's obvious disguise. He clearly remembered that the mummy was not next to him at that time.Seeing that the two could not come up with a conclusion, Kudo Shinichi had no choice but to ask: "Detective Maori, did you really not see the mummy in the toilet at that time?"

Mouri Kogoro said dissatisfiedly: "Are you also doubting my memory and eyesight? I said that I only saw the werewolf coming out at that time, not the mummy!"

Kudo Shinichi chuckled and said: "Of course not, I can say with certainty that what Detective Maori saw at that time was indeed a werewolf, but..."

"But what?" Maori Kogoro raised his eyebrows.

Kudo Shinichi did not answer immediately, but asked back: "Why do you think you saw a werewolf instead of a mummy at that time?"

Mouri Kogoro was stunned: "Why? Of course it's because the man was wearing... Ah?! You don't mean to say?"

He was shocked by his sudden idea.

"That's right." Kudo Shinichi smiled with relief, and this smile made Maori Kogoro's eyebrows jump.

He continued: "In the toilet, the murderer not only stole the tarot cards to frame the mummy, but also put something on his head, which was his own werewolf mask. In addition, I would like to ask the staff, if my guess is correct, the mirror in the toilet should not have been broken at the beginning, right?"

A staff member was stunned and said a little confusedly: "Ah, if you are talking about the mirror in the toilet, it was indeed intact when it was arranged, and Mr. Fukuura did not give instructions to break it."

Kudo Shin nodded and said: "That's right, the mirror in the toilet was broken to prevent The mummy noticed this. "

Mouri Kogoro still didn't quite believe it, and looked at the werewolf's hair with suspicion: "Even if the mirror wasn't broken, most people would notice the hood on his head, right?"

Kudo Shinichi shook his head: "But the mummy's head was already wrapped in bandages, and he was put on a hood when he was knocked unconscious. It's not surprising that he didn't notice it when he woke up. The mask blocked the area above the chest. They were two people who hardly spoke, and it would be difficult for others to tell them apart just by looking at their clothes."

The mummy listened to Kudo Shinichi's explanation with joy, and kept nodding.

Great, this young detective is still more powerful, and he easily cleared his suspicion!
