The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

After briefly surveying the scene, Qin Zhibo asked someone to lock the door of room 604 and no one was allowed to enter.

Then they went to the helipad on the top floor of the cruise ship with Mouri Kogoro and Conan to greet the arrival of the police.

The helicopter from the Metropolitan Police Department slowly descended with the loud noise made by the propeller until it landed steadily on the huge Aphrodite's wavy pattern in the center of the tarmac.

The helicopter door opened, and Takagi, an old acquaintance, came down first, followed closely by Megure and Shiratori, as well as the Tome forensics officer and two young forensics officers.

Originally, the Metropolitan Police Department did not plan to send so many people to investigate an attempted murder case.

However, after hearing that someone from the consortium was killed on the ship, all the main forces of the Search Section were temporarily mobilized to show the importance they attached to the case.

Megure held the hat on his head to prevent it from being blown away by the hurricane caused by the propeller, while asking Mouri Kogoro about the situation.

Although Brother Qin is stronger in reasoning ability, Mu Mu still has a better understanding of cooperation with Brother Maori, who was once a colleague, in simple and menial work such as introducing the case.

Mouri Kogoro introduced that the missing Yashiro President is still being searched for, and the murder scene of Yashiro President has also been sealed.

Mumu responded, finally understanding the general situation.

But at this moment, Takagi, who was walking behind, started complaining.

"However, Mr. Mori, no matter it is in the sky or on the sea, as long as you are around, murders will happen!"

Shiratori also followed Takagi's words and said: "Are you planning to go to space on a rocket next time?"

"Please, how is this possible?"

Mouri Kogoro glanced out of the corner of his eyes and choked back with his own tongue flick, but he was used to it.

Death is like the wind, always with me.

Only Qin Zhibo knew that it was not Kogoro Mouri who really had the power of death.

Mouri Kogoro just stood on the shoulders of the dwarf...

…

Soon, everyone returned to room 604.

The forensic officer began to take pictures of Yashiro Takae's body and extract the surrounding evidence and clues.

Qin Zhibo specifically asked the Dengmi forensics officer to carefully identify the traces of suspected blood next to Guijiang's body.

Mouri Kogoro showed Officer Megure the iron fan he picked up at the dock, and explained in detail the entire process from the "prank" when Narumi was kidnapped to the morgue to the discovery of Yashiro Takae's body.

Subsequently, the forensic officer went to the shipyard where the iron fan was found to conduct an investigation.

The entire evidence collection process lasted nearly 2 hours before everyone came to a ladder conference room on the Aphrodite to summarize and discuss clues.

According to the forensic officer's investigation, a large number of Yatsushiro's fingerprints were found on the steps and railings at the entrance to the dock.

This shows that Chairman Yashiro did come to the dock in person.

Some blood stains were also found at the sluice gate of the dock's lower seaport, and the blood type matched that of Yashiro Chairman himself.

And according to reports from the crew, the dock gates had been opened.

Outside the gate is the endless sea.

Based on these clues, everyone immediately judged that the Yashiro President was probably dead in the Pacific Ocean, so there was no trace of the Yashiro President on the ship.

Mouri Kogoro was sitting in the first row of the ladder conference room, with his hands in front of his face, and said with a stern expression: "It was probably the president who was attacked by someone at the dock, and then pushed in after the gate was opened. In the sea..."

"Dr. Chengshi was attacked because he happened to be in the dock at that time. The murderer mistakenly thought that he had seen the crime, so he planned to kill him and silence him."

Mouri Kogoro's reasoning was immediately recognized by Officer Megure.

"Shiratori, contact the Coast Guard immediately and conduct a search in the nearby waters."

"Yes." Bai Niao took the order and left.

Megure turned to look at Takagi again, "Takagi, I also want to talk to the Xinmi couple. Go and bring them over."

"yes."

Most former Japanese prime ministers with ordinary backgrounds have very few privileges in all aspects, which is why Megure did not hesitate to talk to them.

As soon as Mu Mu's order was given, a discordant voice came out.

"But if the murderer was worried that Dr. Chengshi would catch him committing the crime, why not push Dr. Chengshi into the sea as well?"

"In this case, wouldn't it be simpler and more direct?"

Mu Mu looked startled, looked up in the direction of the sound, and found that it was Conan sitting next to Qin Zhibo.

With Qin Zhibo's protection, he was not kicked out.

Conan held his chin up, looking like a kid, and his eyes were not looking here, but the voice of doubt did reach here.

This made Mouri Kogoro, who was sitting at another table, a little unhappy, and he immediately defended: "Idiot! The murderer must have closed the gate at that time. It will take time to reopen the gate..."

"He was worried that he would be discovered if he delayed for too long, so he temporarily took Dr. Chengshi to the morgue."

Mouri Kogoro's adaptability was indeed instantaneous, and he could make up the scene at that time in a flash of his mind.

However, Conan still looked serious and remained silent after hearing this.

Qin Zhibo, who was sitting next to him, also felt that the case was not as simple as Mouri Kogoro said.

Cheng Shi was knocked down and sent to the morgue. The most direct reason should be the big iron box he found.

What's in that box?

When Qin Zhibo was following the police investigation at the dock just now, he also asked some crew members about the large iron box.

However, the crew members were all consistent. They all said that there was no habit of placing large cargo in the dock, and that all cargo was stored in the cargo hold.

Qin Zhibo followed the crew to the so-called cargo hold, but did not find the big iron box Cheng Shi mentioned.

Even the Searching Object Charm cannot search for things that you have no memory of...

And more importantly, the contents of the box may cause major sacrifices on the cruise ship at any time.

If you search aggressively, you might trigger something terrible in advance.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the conference room.

"Please come in."

Two people came in at the door, namely the director-level crew member named Misaki who had just appeared at the door of room 604, and the secretary of Yashiro and his daughter named Tsujimoto.

As soon as the two entered the door, they talked about their latest discovery.

"We asked the passengers on the sixth floor, and someone said they saw a person coming out of President Yashiro's room at 10:15 a.m."

"What?!"

Megure and Mouri Kogoro looked shocked, finally having a familiar witness clue.

"What does that guy look like?"

The crew member and secretary shook their heads regretfully, "The man was wearing a commemorative windbreaker given by the ship. He was about 170cm tall and had a slim build. However, because he was wearing sunglasses and a scarf, he couldn't see his face clearly. He couldn't even distinguish between a male and a female. come out."

"I deliberately hid my face..."

Memu murmured and sat back on the chair in despair.

However, Mouri Kogoro thought for a moment and said, "It seems that this is the murderer."

"The murderer first killed Ms. Takae Yashiro who came out of the bathroom in Room 604, and then rushed to the dock and killed President Yashiro who came for an appointment."

"Then at 10:20, he attacked Cheng Shi who happened to be in the dock and took him to the morgue on the ship."

"These three cases are likely to be committed by the same person."

With Mouri Kogoro sorting things out, Officer Megure once again skipped the step of thinking.

At this time, Shiratori left and returned, telling Memu that the Coast Guard had been dispatched.

However, it still takes some time to find a body that fell into the water in the vast Pacific Ocean.

But the good news is that the body will not breathe when it falls into the water, and the stomach and lungs will not choke with water. This causes the body to float directly on the sea, which is more conducive to search efforts.

…

1:30pm.

Chengshi's physical strength gradually recovered, and he began to feel hungry.

So everyone borrowed a wheelchair and pushed Chengshi out of the infirmary and took him to the restaurant outside for dinner.

There are a total of 5 main restaurants on the Aphrodite, but in order to take care of Chengshi's physical strength, everyone came to the nearest restaurant.

Black Forest Restaurant.

This restaurant is the most unique restaurant on the entire ship, offering a variety of meals, mainly grilled food.

The reason why this restaurant is the most unique is because the decoration of this restaurant is unique and completely based on the theme of the forest.

There are large areas of vegetation in the restaurant, including forests, shrubs, and even lawns.

The relatively dim lighting creates a unique atmosphere. Dining in an open space in the forest makes guests feel as if they are in a big forest.

And all this experience actually came from a cruise ship at sea.

This different sense of contrast is quite romantic.

Haibara Ai and Cheng Shi sat on the seats they had already occupied, while the others went to get food.

After a while, Mao Lilan, Yuanzi, and Dr. Ali brought a lot of food.

Among them are roast beef, grilled bird skewers, charcoal grilled eel, etc., and there are also light foods that Haibara Ai specially ordered for Cheng Shi to get, such as seafood porridge, vegetable salad, and fruit platter.

When everyone sat down, the three little ones, who had been hungry all afternoon, started to feast.

Dr. A Li stared at the roast beef on the table, somewhat ready to move.

This plate of roast beef was brought down from the buffet table when Haihara Ai was not around.

As a result, now in front of Hui Yuan Ai, he was a little afraid to take action.

Because of Haihara Ai's strict obesity management, he was required to eat only one meat-containing meal per week.

And the sumptuous meal last night had already used up this week’s quota.

"By the way, why aren't Uncle Maoli and Uncle Qin coming back? Didn't they have lunch?" Yuanzi asked at this time.

Mao Lilan stopped the knife and fork in his hand, turned to look at Yuanzi, and explained: "I heard from Conan that there was a murder on the ship, so he can't come back..."

"What? Murder!"

Yuanzi was shocked, and the sound also shocked some of the surrounding guests.

"Sh-!"

Mao Lilan quickly made a hissing gesture, "Yuanzi, this matter has not yet been made public, it must be kept secret..."

"Oh." Yuanzi nodded repeatedly, but his face was still shocked.

At this time, the three little ones sitting opposite heard that there was a murder on the ship, and Conan had not returned yet, so they overreacted.

Mitsuhiko: "Did that guy Conan abandon us to investigate the case again?"

Yuantai: "That's so cunning. They didn't notify us when there was a case. They just informed Sister Xiaolan..."

Ayumi: "Well, let's go find Conan after dinner!"

The three little ones each expressed their own opinions and soon reached a consensus on the goal.

But before they could implement their plan, Haihara Ai pressed the cancel button on the three people's plan.

"Dah..."

"If a case happened on the ship, it means there is a murderer. It's safer for everyone to stay together at this time."

"And even if you go, the police will not let you participate in the case just because you are members of the Junior Detective Team."

Haihara Ai rationally analyzed the current situation, which made the three little ones immediately become dejected.

If there is no case, there is no happiness!

The three little ones can only turn their grief and anger into strength and continue to feast.

Cheng Shi, Mao Lilan and Sonoko saw the three little ones who were subdued by Haibara Ai, and they also showed a knowing smile on their faces.

"Da mei..."

At this time, Haibara Ai said another sentence lightly.

The three little ones raised their heads quickly, thinking that Haibara Ai was talking about them.

Just when they were about to show that they had given up the idea of ​​​​taking advantage of the case, they saw Haibara Ai taking back a plate of roast beef from the dining table area in front of Dr. Agasa.

"Doctor, you've already eaten meat yesterday, so you can't eat it today."

"No, I shouldn't eat it for a week..."

Ai Haibara calmly took the roast beef away and put it back on the collective table.

Dr. Agasa looked disappointed and helpless.

He was trying to steal a few pieces of beef while Ai Haibara was persuading the three little ones, but he still couldn't escape Ai Haibara's eyes.

Ran Mao Li smiled at Ai Haibara, "I feel like Xiao Ai is a serious and responsible parent~"

"When Dr. Cheng Shi was kidnapped just now, Xiao Ai was also very anxious..."

Hearing the second sentence, Ai Haibara, who was calmly eating fruit, blushed slightly.

Cheng Shi lowered his head and looked at Ai Haibara with a smile on his lips.

"Thank you, Xiao Ai."

"Nothing..."

Ai Haibara's voice was still calm, but there were some waves in her heart.

Compared to what you did for me, this is nothing...

...

Staircase meeting room.

The police and detectives simply spent 15 minutes eating the meals sent by the crew, and then continued the investigation.

Megure met with former Prime Minister Niimi and his wife and took down their statements.

Then he summarized all the clues and wrote down the murderer's crime schedule on the whiteboard.

Since the murderer was killing on two lines, the itinerary routes of the father and daughter, Yashiro and Yashiro Takae, were planned.

After establishing the timeline, the police found that the schedule was very accurate, with an error of no more than 3 minutes.

So it was suspected that the murderer had mastered the itinerary of the father and daughter in advance.

In addition, the only person who could sneak into room 604 was the holder of the master key, which gave the investigation of the murderer a reliable direction.

But the words of the crew of Misaki once again put the investigation into trouble.

"There are quite a lot of people who have master keys..."

"Except for me, the guards, Xia Fan who is responsible for protection, Secretary Tsujimoto, as well as the director-level crew members, the waiter foreman, almost everyone has it."

"I see..." Officer Megure held his chin up, thinking in a deadlock.

At this time, Qin Zhibo asked: "Ms. Tsujimoto, besides you, does anyone else know about the president's schedule?"

The secretary turned to look at the crew member next to him, "I only told Director Misaki about the itinerary, and no one else knows..."

Qin Zhibo glanced at the appearance and physique of the two. The crew member was slightly fat, and the secretary was not tall enough, which was different from the suspected murderer witnessed by the passengers.

However, this does not mean that the murderer has no other way to know the schedule of the eight generations.
