Yuuya ignored Hattori Heiji's questioning look, rubbed Conan's head and said, "Let's go, just take this opportunity to investigate the remaining things."

Conan slapped Yuuya's claws in dissatisfaction, you can talk, why are you rubbing my head?

Seeing the two people walking directly towards the cabin, Hattori Heiji hurriedly chased after them.

"Hey, you two wait for me!"

Hattori Heiji was very unhappy. These two people obviously didn't communicate much, why did they solve the case so tacitly?

Is this the tacit understanding between childhood friends? Hattori Heiji thought angrily.

Damn it, I suddenly want a detective from my childhood, so that we can exchange experiences in solving cases with each other...

Led by the old butler, the three of them checked the rooms of everyone on the ship today. Although it was a bit against the rules, the special situation naturally allowed special treatment.

There was nothing special in most people's rooms.

Until in Shoji Rakumoto's room, he found the box where he stored his props, and two kitchen knives were missing from it.

"One of them should be the one that stabbed Rakumoto Ichiro just now, but where did the other one go?" Hattori Heiji touched his chin and was a little confused.

"That one should be the one that stabbed Mr. Rakumoto to death, as for where it went..." Conan paused and looked up at Yuya.

Yuya took over the conversation and said: "It should have been thrown into the sea. Didn't Xiaolan and Toyama just say that they heard sounds from below when they were on the deck? One was the sound of something falling into the water, and the other was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground."

Hattori Heiji thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "But this is troublesome. If the murder weapon is thrown into the sea, there is almost no possibility of finding it back."

The three then came to Ichiro Rakumoto's room and found an easel inside with many pencil drawings on it.

Yuya flipped through a few pages and found that all the paintings were of Ichiro Rakumoto's cousin, Rakumoto Natsue.

"As expected." Hattori Heiji looked a little solemn.

Conan's expression was also a little puzzled.

"Okay," Yuya clapped his hands, "The only room left is Rakumoto Akie's, let's go and take a look."

Hattori Heiji nodded and looked at Yuya thoughtfully: "Could it be that Mr. Take..."

Yuya and Conan didn't answer, their faces full of mystery.

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but clench his fists, these two people! ···

Came to Rakumoto Akie's room, everything looked normal inside.

"It seems that the person is not here." Yuya's eyes fell on the closet, and his tone was a little disappointed.

However, the heavy breathing in the closet was so clearly audible to the detective with very sensitive hearing.

There is always some inexplicable tacit understanding between detectives. Conan and Hattori Heiji also realized something and looked at the closet.

Yuya looked at the butler and said with a smile: "Mr. Butler, can you trouble everyone to come over?"

"I understand!" The butler immediately went to call people.

···

Everyone gathered in Akiyo Hashimoto's room.

Ichiro Hashimoto's wound has been simply treated. Shiho Miyano sliced ​​it... No, the bandaging technique is pretty good. Ichiro Hashimoto didn't cry out in pain like he did at the beginning, except that his face looked a little bad.

Mariko Hashimoto cared about her son for a while, and looked at Yuya and Hattori Heiji with dissatisfaction: "The butler said you have something important to say. What is it? Ichiro is still injured."

Yuya smiled and said: "The important thing..." His eyes slowly swept over everyone, "Of course, it is to find out who the murderer is."

"Found the murderer?!" Everyone widened their eyes in surprise.

Ichiro Rakumoto's body trembled uncontrollably.

"Who is the murderer? Is it... not Takeru?" Rakumoto Natsue looked at Yuya expectantly.

Yuya smiled and looked at Hattori Heiji.

Hattori Heiji straightened his collar, coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention, and said, "Before we tell you who the murderer is, let's recall these cases."

"First, let's recall the first case where Mr. Ryomoto was killed."

"At that time, a complete bloodstain was found on the floor under the door. This undoubtedly shows that Mr. Ryomoto was stabbed in the abdomen by the murderer, and then he locked the door to escape the pursuit, and finally died of excessive blood loss."

"Besides, everyone also saw the flowers that fell at the door."

"Yes!" Ryomoto Akiie said, "So isn't the murderer Takeru?"

Hattori Heiji shook his head: "No, we have said before that the falling of flowers is unreasonable and cannot be used as evidence to incriminate the murderer."

"The flowers fell at the door, on the groundThe bloodstains have traces of being wiped off; if they were dropped during the murder, then the murderer would definitely see the flowers when wiping the bloodstains on the ground;

Similarly, it is impossible that they were dropped while wiping the bloodstains. Since the murderer had time to wipe the bloodstains, he would definitely check after wiping them off, and it is impossible that he would not see the flowers.

Therefore, it is impossible to determine that Takeshi Ryomamoto is the murderer based solely on the flowers dropped at the scene. "

After Hattori Heiji finished speaking, Yuya stepped forward and took over the conversation, saying: "Next is the second case and the third attack. These two cases should be discussed together."

"What do you mean?" Ryomamoto Akie was puzzled, "Is there any connection between the murder of Kame and the attack on Ichiro?"

"Of course," Yuya nodded, picked up a box from the ground and put it on the table.

Hatamoto Shoji suddenly shouted: "Isn't this the box where I put the knives? "Because of the murders and attacks that happened at night, he had no time to go back to his room, let alone check his box.

When the box was opened, there was indeed a complete set of knives inside, but two were missing.

Yuya said: "One of the two missing knives was the one used to stab Mr. Ichiro, right?"

Everyone nodded slightly. At that time, the kitchen knife had been confirmed by Shoji Hatamoto himself, and there was indeed an abbreviation representing his name on it. In addition, there was no knife missing in the box, so there was no doubt.

"As for the other one..." Yuya paused, "It was the one used to kill Mr. Ryūmoto!"

"What?!" Shoji Hatamoto's face changed suddenly. As a chef, special kitchen utensils are treasured, but that treasure was used to commit a crime?

"At that time, Xiaolan and Toyama, who were on the deck, heard two sounds, one of which was the sound of something falling into the water..."

"Could it be? "Rakumoto Shoji immediately realized something.

Yuuya nodded: "Yes, that was the sound of the murderer throwing the murder weapon into the sea to destroy the evidence. At that time, the murderer did not expect to suddenly run into Mr. Rakumoto Kameo, and in a hurry, he beat him to death with something like an iron pipe."

"The muffled sound they heard later was the sound of the iron pipe hitting the head and Rakumoto Kameo falling down."

"In other words, Mr. Rakumoto Kameo's death was actually an accident."

"It was actually an accident..." Rakumoto Akiie covered her mouth, looking unbelievable, and she shouted, "So who is it, who killed Kameo? !"

Others looked at her sideways, and for a moment they couldn't tell whether she was really sad and angry, or pretending...
