Everyone came to the utility room where Takeshi Rakumoto was imprisoned. Just as Yuya said, the lock of the utility room had been opened at some point, and Takeshi Rakumoto inside was gone.

A sense of uneasiness suddenly enveloped the five people in the Rakumoto family except Rakumoto Natsue.

In order to prevent anyone from being attacked again, Yuya gathered everyone in the restaurant.

Rakumoto Akie suddenly looked at Natsue angrily and shouted: "It's all your fault. If you hadn't brought Takeshi into the Rakumoto family, Grandpa wouldn't have died, and Kame wouldn't have died!"

"I..." Rakumoto Natsue was speechless. Although she believed in Rakumoto Takeshi, she didn't know how to explain it at this time, so she could only stand there at a loss.

Ran Maoli couldn't bear it, so she secretly poked Conan's head.

Conan looked up and immediately understood what she meant. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly realized that his identity was not suitable, and there happened to be two more suitable microphones next to him, so he kicked Yuya's chair with his foot.

Yuya looked back, and the two exchanged glances for a moment. He thought for a moment, and then said, "In fact, we are still not sure that Mr. Wu is the murderer."

Rakumoto Akiyo, who was arguing and cursing, looked at Yuya in surprise: "What do you mean?"

Yuya told the previous reasoning of the three of them, and finally concluded: "In summary, the flower cannot be used as evidence to incriminate Mr. Wu. I'm afraid the murderer deliberately left it at the scene to frame him."

Everyone frowned instinctively after hearing this. They believed that Rakumoto Takeshi was the murderer, which would save a lot of trouble. But after thinking for a long time, they couldn't find any reason to refute Yuya's words.

Mariko Rakumoto yelled, "Hey, who do you think the murderer is? Aren't you the famous high school detective? Why is it so hard to find a murderer?"

Yuya ignored her sarcasm and didn't directly tell the three people what they had already determined. Instead, he said, "The murderer released Rakumoto Takeshi, perhaps to frame Mr. Take for killing Rakumoto Kameo. Unfortunately, he did this, which made me sure that the murderer was not Mr. Take."

Looking around at everyone, he slowly said, "Mio and the other four have been together all the time, and the three of us also acted together, so there is no possibility of committing the crime. As for you... Let's not talk about the first case. When Mr. Kameo was killed, did you have an alibi?"

After some confirmation, like the first case, the remaining five people had no alibis.

Now, the seven suspects were narrowed down to five.

Akiyo Rakumoto said angrily: "Why do you doubt me? How could I kill my own husband!"

Mariko Rakumoto sneered: "You are the happiest person that Kame is dead, right? Don't think I don't know that you have been keeping other men outside. What husband and wife are just a relationship you pretend to maintain for your father's property!"

"Huh?" Yuya blinked and looked at his friends in confusion. Why did he suddenly reveal a melon?

No, you rich people play so extravagantly? Kame sounds like a gigolo. Akiyo Rakumoto is not satisfied with keeping one at home, and he wants to keep another one outside?

After being exposed, Rakumoto Akiyo responded without showing any weakness: "You are the one! You are the one who cares most about the inheritance among us. In order to divert everyone's attention, you killed Kameo after killing Grandpa!"

Rakumoto Mariko glared at him: "What did you say!"

"Enough, stop arguing!" Rakumoto Natsue couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to persuade them.

But the two of them were already a little angry, and Rakumoto Natsue, who came out to persuade them, was dragged into it instead, and the restaurant was in chaos.

While others were arguing, Rakumoto Ichiro silently opened his album and smiled at the paintings inside.

This scene was seen by Hattori Heiji.

He pretended to think in circles, but actually took advantage of Rakumoto Ichiro's inattention to stand behind him, secretly glanced at him, and his eyes suddenly condensed, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Toyama Kazuha followed Hattori Heiji like a tail, and also looked at Ichiro Rakumoto's album, and shouted in surprise: "Hey, you draw well, is this Miss Xiajiang?"

Ichiro Rakumoto was startled and quickly closed the album.

Hearing Toyama Kazuha's voice, Rakumoto Akiie looked over unintentionally, and suddenly sneered: "Even Ichiro has a reason to kill grandpa, right?"

"The painting that he valued very much and won the first prize in the exhibition was torn up by grandpa. Ask him if he hates it?"

Ichiro Rakumoto's face turned pale, and he didn't know whether he was said to be right or because of his cowardly character.Mariko Rakumoto values ​​her son very much, and immediately helped to defend him: "Well, it's obviously the fault of the father who doesn't know how to appreciate the child's talent! How can Ichiro be blamed!"

Rakumoto Akie sneered, walked up to Rakumoto Ichiro and said: "Besides, you are often bullied by Kameo, aren't you taking this opportunity to kill two people you hate at once?"

Rakumoto Ichiro's face suddenly changed, and he argued loudly: "I, I didn't kill anyone!"

Rakumoto Akie ignored his argument at all, and sneered at Rakumoto Kitaro: "Also, weren't you the first one to be liberated after grandpa died, Uncle Kitaro?"

"If you really want to say suspicious, you three are the most suspicious! Maybe you killed grandpa and Kameo together!"

You couldn't help but lean back slightly. This Rakumoto Akie is really brave, firing everywhere, is she really not afraid that the murderer will target her next?

Hokumoto Kitaro didn't expect the fire to suddenly burn on him, and he was a little panicked: "Are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Hokumoto Ichiro couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom," and then walked out the door.

Hokumoto Kitaro and Mariko were a little worried that their son would be attacked, but Hokumoto Ichiro didn't appreciate it at all and insisted on leaving alone.

After a while.

Hattori Heiji couldn't sit still anymore, so he stood up and said, "No, we can't just wait like this, let's go find Mr. Wu, right? He must be somewhere on the ship."

Yuuya glanced at the album that Hokumoto Ichiro put on the table, and a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in his eyes. He nodded and said, "Let's go together. When we find the person, today's case should be over."

Hatsube Heiji was stunned: "What do you mean? Do you know the murder weapon and the motive for the murder?"

Yuuya nodded.

Hattori Heiji suddenly fell into deep thought. No, Yuuya had not left his seat since just now. How did he know?

He quickly recalled everything that had happened during this period of time, and suddenly his eyes fell on the picture book. A light flashed in his mind: "So that's it!"

Yuuya glanced at him and asked with a smile: "Have you figured it out?"

Hattori Heiji nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I have figured it all out. What about Conan, how about you..."

He looked down, but found that Conan's face was full of contempt, with an expression of "You finally woke up? You are the only one who didn't find the truth."

Hattori Heiji: ···?

No, so I was the last one to know?

However, just as the three were about to leave the restaurant, with a snap, all the lights suddenly went out.

The restaurant was suddenly dark, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

The sudden darkness made most people panic, and panicked shouts came one after another.

Hattori Heiji shouted, "Stay where you are, don't move, be careful not to bump into someone!" He took out his cell phone and turned on the lighting function.

Seeing this, the others followed suit and took out their cell phones. The lights of more than ten cell phones brightened the restaurant.

Yuya looked around and found that there were no fewer or more people. He said to Hattori Heiji, "Hattori, please go check the power supply with the butler!"

Hattori Heiji nodded vigorously, "I know, leave it to me! Mr. Butler!"

"I, I know!" The butler responded loudly and came over.

"Oh no, Ichiro hasn't come back yet!" Rakumoto Kitaro shouted in panic.

Before Yuya could say anything, a shrill scream rang out in the darkness.

"Yes, it's Ichiro's voice!" Rakumoto Mariko looked horrified. It was undoubtedly her son's voice. She ran out while shouting. Rakumoto Kitaro was also worried that his son would chase after her.

"Really, it's just a mess." Yuya sighed and had no choice but to follow.

Seeing this, the others followed Yuya, either worried about the safety of Ichiro Rakumoto or worried that they would be attacked if they stayed here.

Although all the lights were off, they could still see the road clearly with the help of the flashlights of several mobile phones.

They found the bathroom quickly, and just before they went in, the power was successfully restored, and the dark cabin suddenly welcomed back the light.

Hattori, that guy, was quite quick. Yuya secretly gave him a thumbs up.

"Ah! Ichiro!" Mariko Rakumoto, who ran into the bathroom, suddenly screamed in panic.

Yuya and Conan hurriedly chased in and saw Ichiro Rakumoto lying on the ground, holding his thigh and wailing: "Leg, my leg!"

His leg seemed to be stabbed, and blood was flowing from it.

Yuya and Conan looked at each other, and then observed the situation in the bathroom, and soon found a kitchen knife under the sink.

Yuya took out his gloves and put them on., pretending to pick up the kitchen knife and looking at it: "This is... a kitchen knife?"

Conan also pretended to nod and agree: "It is a kitchen knife."

Hatamoto Shoji, who followed behind, saw the knife in Yuya's hand and couldn't help shouting in surprise: "Isn't that my kitchen utensil?"

Conan turned around: "Are you sure?"

Hatamoto Shoji was cold, and didn't care about Conan questioning himself. He nodded vigorously and pointed to the handle of the knife and said: "There is my initials on it."

Yuya took a look and it was true.

Hatamoto Mariko was already panicking, and yelled at Hatamoto Shoji: "Shoji! Did you attack Ichiro!"

Hatamoto Shoji was a little confused, sister-in-law, are you sane? Explain loudly: "What are you talking about? I was in the restaurant with you guys just now!"

Mariko Ryomoto was stunned, and after a while she recalled that it was indeed the case. She realized that she had misunderstood in a hurry, and she didn't want to apologize, so she lowered her head and asked her son: "Ichiro, who attacked you?"

Ichiro Ryomoto was terrified, and trembling, he said: "I, I don't know, there was a sudden power outage just now, and then I was stabbed inexplicably, Mom, it hurts!"

Ichiro Ryomoto covered his wound and cried.

"Hold on, hold on, Ichiro!" Mariko Ryomoto shook her son's body vigorously, and the scene looked like Ichiro Ryomoto was about to die.

"Don't move, if you move around like this, the wound will get bigger." Miyano Shiho stopped her, squatted down to check, and said, "It's okay, the wound is not deep, there is no danger, it will only leave a scar at most."

She turned her head and looked at everyone: "Can anyone help take down the medical box?"

Rakumoto Natsue immediately said: "I'll go!"

"Thank you, thank you!" As long as it involves her son, Mariko Rakumoto's attitude will become better.

"It's okay," Miyano Shiho said lightly, "I often slice the experimental body in the laboratory, and I have some experience in dealing with some knife wounds."

"···" Rakumoto Mariko was stunned, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand, what laboratory, what slice?

Conan heard Miyano Shiho's words, and suddenly remembered the scene of her taking samples from her body, and couldn't help shuddering.

Fortunately, this female scientist was quite restrained and did not really slice his body, but only took some oral cells, nails and hair...

Hatamoto Shoji looked at the kitchen knife in his hand and suddenly said: "Just now, all of us were in the restaurant, only Ichiro was in the bathroom. If you think about it this way, the person who attacked him was only Takeru!"

"Takeru?!" Some people who did not know the truth suddenly changed their faces.

"That's not necessarily true." Hattori Heiji suddenly appeared at the door.

Hashimoto Mariko looked at the black-skinned detective with dissatisfaction and asked: "What do you mean? In addition to Takeru, is there anyone else who could attack Ichiro? At that time, all of us..."

"Well, don't worry." Hattori Heiji waved his hand, "You will know if you follow me."

Leaving two people to take care of the injured Hashimoto Ichiro, the rest followed Hattori Heiji to the power supply room.

"Hattori, did you find anything?" Conan asked with his head raised.

Hattori Heiji nodded and pointed at the switch inside and said, "Look at that..."

Everyone looked in the direction and found an iron box on the ground with a rope tied to it, and a candle was placed above the switch.

There were signs of burning in the middle of the rope.

Hattori Heiji said, "This is a simple timing device that anyone can make. Use a rope to tie the heavy object and the breaker, and then wrap the middle part of the rope around the candle. When the candle burns for a certain period of time, it will burn the rope, causing the heavy object to fall."

"In this way, the power can be automatically cut off even if no one is here."

Hattori Heiji pointed at the candle: "From the burning of the candle, it has been here for a long time, which means that everyone present, including me, may have made this power-off device."

"You, what did you say?" The Ryūmoto family was shocked. According to Hattori Heiji, isn't that the same as the case mentioned before, and everyone is a suspect again?

"In short, for everyone's safety, please stay in the restaurant and don't walk around." Hattori Heiji rubbed his head, "As for the rest of us, let's go find Mr. Wu. This case is almost over."

Hattori Heiji had a headache. The three of them had planned to end the case, but they didn't expect this third case to happen suddenly. Although no one died, it delayed a lot of time.

"Let's go." Yuya patted Hattori Heiji on the shoulder.

On the deck, Hattori HeijiHe scratched his hair with a headache: "This ship is so big, we can't search all over it, right? What if he is secretly watching us and playing hide-and-seek will be troublesome."

"It's okay, I roughly know where he is." Yuya said with a relaxed look.

Hattori Heiji was full of questions, no, how did you know it again?
