The Grammatical Investigator in Conan
Chapter 1369 The cocktail party begins
Facing Qin Zhibo's question, Akiyoshi Miamiko, who was holding the coffee, was shocked at first, but quickly calmed down.
She slowly put the coffee cup back on the table and asked calmly: "Mr. Qin, did you really find the bomb?"
"Even if the bomb is really found, and there are so many people on board, what basis do you have for saying that I set it?"
Qin Zhibo saw that Akiyoshi Minamizi was not going to admit it, so he was not in a hurry and said calmly.
"Those bombs are installed in very professional locations. They can definitely sink the ship, but they won't sink it very quickly..."
"This shows that the person who planted the bomb was very knowledgeable, aware of the ship's vulnerabilities, and had access to the lowest working area of the ship's cabin."
"But since Miss Akiyoshi feels that I have offended you, I apologize to you."
Qin Zhibo nodded slightly to express his apology.
Akiyoshi Minamiko: "..."
There was a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Although she had a tough attitude, she also knew that the famous detective must have at least grasped some clues to find her here.
But now, she couldn't see clearly the purpose of the man in front of her.
"What on earth did you come to see me for?"
"If you did find a bomb, shouldn't you go to the police?"
Akiyoshi Minamiko pretended to be calm and communicated with Qin Zhibo.
Qin Zhibo nodded and said calmly: "It is true that we should call the police, but not now..."
"To be honest, I'm looking for something on the boat right now."
"What?"
"A large iron box, about 6 meters high, once appeared in the dock. I don't know where it is now."
"Iron box?" Akiyoshi Minamizi's beautiful eyes moved slightly, "Is there anything in there?"
Qin Zhibo shook his head, "I don't know."
"But I think that thing is more threatening than the bomb on the ship, so I want to find it..."
"Miss Akiyoshi, since you are the designer of this ship, can you provide some suggestions?"
"If it were you, where would you hide that iron box?"
Akiyoshi Minamiko frowned and looked at Qin Zhibo warily.
She didn't know if this was another temptation from the famous detective.
In response, she could only pretend to think about it and tentatively responded: "Maybe it's the cargo hold?"
"It's not in the cargo hold. I've searched all over there." Qin Zhibo replied firmly.
"Really? It doesn't seem easy for non-crew members to get in there, even if you are a detective..."
"I have my own method."
Qin Zhibo interrupted her and then smiled mysteriously.
His method is naturally Minase Yomu who can walk through walls at will.
But even with the help of the ghost and even finding the bomb at the bottom of the cabin, the big iron box was not found.
Although the ship is large, the iron box is not a small item, so it should not be difficult to find it.
Therefore, Qin Zhibo could only suspect that the cruise ship had some hidden dark rooms at the beginning of its design, specifically used to hide iron boxes.
Qin Zhibo expressed his thoughts, but Akiyoshi Minamiko shook his head and denied.
"It's impossible. I designed most of this ship. I've even seen the drawings designed by the teacher. There are no hidden compartments as you mentioned."
The design commander of the "Aphrodite" was Yatsura Hideki, but most of the work was done by Akiyoshi Minamiko.
However, Qin Zhibo did not give up and continued to ask, "What are the specific parts designed by eight generations of British people?"
Akiyoshi Minami's expression slightly condensed, and after thinking for two seconds, she said: "The teacher's design is mainly concentrated in the lower work area, because the teacher used to design cargo ships."
"I am responsible for all the tourist entertainment areas above, except for the Black Forest Restaurant, which is a theme restaurant designed by the teacher himself..."
Since this cruise ship mainly provides tourist services, Akiyoshi Minamiko’s design is the biggest drawcard of this cruise ship.
Qin Zhibo looked thoughtful after listening to Akiyoshi Minamiko's introduction.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.
If it's there, maybe it can be hidden...
"Okay, thank you, Miss Akiyoshi."
Qin Zhibo quickly stood up and said goodbye to Akiyoshi Minamiko.
Before leaving, he looked back at the woman wearing glasses and said, "By the way, I already know who the murderer of Yashiro and his daughter is..."
"I guess you will be surprised by the identity of that person, because it is someone you and I both know."
"oh?"
Akiyoshi Minamiko's eyes were slightly shocked, and she pretended to be calm and raised her hand to adjust the rimless glasses on the high bridge of her nose.
"...who is that person?"
Seeing Akiyoshi Minamiko's micro-expression reaction, Qin Zhibo smiled slightly.
"Don't worry, the truth will be revealed sooner or later."
"But not now..."
After saying that, Qin Zhibo turned around and left coolly.
Looking at Qin Zhibo's leaving figure, several black lines appeared on Akiyoshi Miami's forehead, her expression was very complicated.
When she reached out to touch the coffee cup, the hand holding it began to tremble.
…
After leaving the restaurant, Qin Zhibo basically locked in the complete picture of the murder case of Yashiro father and daughter.
The real murderer is Akiyoshi Minamiko.
And she also planted the bomb.
Although she tried her best to appear calm, the fact that the bomb was discovered so easily caused flaws in her expression.
And her words betrayed her.
Unlike the bombs installed by Kusaka Hironari, a half-baked one, these bombs are designed to sink the ship completely.
However, facing the fact that the ship she had worked so hard to design was about to be sunk, Akiyoshi Miwako's reaction was to calmly ask herself whether she had notified the police.
In addition, Qin Zhibo guessed that she should also know that Kusaka Hironari used her as an alibi.
Akiyoshi Miwako, a smart woman, should have known long ago that Kusaka Hironari had impure motives to approach her, and found the truth of the incident 15 years ago and the crime plan on Kusaka Hironari's computer.
So, she decided to take advantage of the situation and obey Kusaka Hironari's crime plan.
However, the success rate of Kusaka Hironari's half-baked plan was too low, causing Akiyoshi Miwako to have to take action herself.
She entered Suite 604 while Yashiro Takae was taking a shower, knocked Yashiro Takae unconscious, and then pretended to be Yashiro Takae, waiting for Kusaka Hironari to come.
In front of Kusaka Hironari, she used a blood plasma bag to pretend to be attacked and killed, and then killed the real Yashiro Takae in the same way and left the scene.
The evidence is that Qin Zhibo had sneaked into Akiyoshi Miwako's room before he came to find her and found that a bathrobe was missing from her bathroom.
Because she wore the bathrobe in her room to pretend to be Yashiro Takae, and then took the bathrobe away and threw it into the sea.
The purpose of doing this is that the bathrobe was stained with fake blood plasma when she pretended to be Yashiro Takae, and it must be taken away and destroyed.
Akiyoshi Miwako even considered this in advance, which shows that she is very thoughtful.
On the other hand, Kusaka Hironari not only wrote the crime plan in the computer and made such a naive mistake, but also did not confirm the appearance of the target when killing the enemy.
And Kusaka Hironari killed the president of Yashiro, and it should be with the secret help of Akiyoshi Miwako.
In this way, she can escape the crime by pretending to be a "stupid woman" used by Kusaka Hironari to create an alibi in front of the police.
As for the last target of Kusaka Hironari's assassination plan, Kaito Wataru, Akiyoshi Miwako also completed the plan.
Kusaka Hironari's plan was to use bombs to create chaos at the welcome reception and take the opportunity to assassinate Captain Kaito Wataru.
But he didn't know that the power supply system of a large cruise ship like this was very complete. It would not completely lose power just because a distribution room was damaged. The backup power supply system would start immediately.
As the designer of the ship, Akiyoshi Miwako knew this very well, so she installed a bomb that was enough to sink the cruise ship and then killed Kaito Wataru in the chaos.
Because as the captain's duty, he must confirm that everyone has escaped before he can leave last.
Because of this, Qin Zhibo did not find the bomb detonator in Akiyoshi Miwako's room.
The bomb was detonated in a countdown manner, and the time was probably when the reception was going on.
However, Qin Zhibo found a spear gun in her suitcase. It should be that she planned to wait until Kaito Wataru was the only one left on the ship, and then shoot him in person.
As for the reason why Akiyoshi Miwako did all this, it should be to avenge her father, Captain Okita of the Yashiro Maru freighter who died 15 years ago.
After finding out the truth of the case, Qin Zhibo is not in a hurry to solve the case now.
The truth of the case will come out sooner or later.
However, he must investigate the contents of the "big iron box" before the ship sinks.
The reason why he did not tell the police about the bomb is that compared with the danger of the ship sinking, the "big iron box" mentioned in the main task is obviously more dangerous.
Perhaps the bomb will sink the "Aphrodite", which is also a variable that the person behind the planning of this whole incident did not consider.
Let the bomb detonate on time, maybe more people will be saved.
...
On the other side, the police and Maori Kogoro are still discussing the case in the stepped conference room.
Captain Kaito Tou came to report at this time that the Coast Guard has found the body of the suspected Yashiro president.
Everyone's expression was shocked, and there was some heaviness in their eyes.
Megure stood up at this time, and said with a serious face: "Captain, there is something we want to discuss with you."
Haiteng Du held the captain's hat in one hand, "What is it?"
"Regarding the welcome reception to be held at five o'clock, because the death of the eighth generation president still needs further investigation, I would like to ask you to cooperate and temporarily cancel the welcome reception."
Haiteng Du's eyes changed slightly, and his face was a little embarrassed, "But..."
"Please, Captain."
Just when Megure was negotiating with Kaito Du, a hoarse voice came from behind.
"Officer Megure, wait a moment."
"Let the reception go on as usual..."
"Ah?" Megure turned to look at Maori Kogoro and asked, "Brother Maori, what are you talking about?"
According to general experience, the murderer has not been caught yet, and it is easy to cause trouble if a large party is held rashly.
And the murderer must be on this ship now.
But Maori Kogoro has already changed into a handsome black suit, with a handsome and confident smile on his lips.
"Because then the truth will be revealed..."
When they heard this, Megure and Takagi's expressions instantly cheered up.
"Brother Maori, could it be that you..."
"Has your inspiration finally come?"
After being praised by the two, Maori Kogoro broke down in a second and laughed out loud with his tongue sticking out.
Seeing this, only Shiratori complained with a little helplessness, "But you haven't fallen asleep yet..."
Shiratori is good at summarizing patterns.
According to the previous situation, before Maori Kogoro switched to "Sleeping Maori Kogoro", the reasoning he said was basically nonsense, and he always gave the wrong suspects.
And Conan next to him glanced at his future father-in-law helplessly, his eyes full of disgust.
Hehe...
Is this uncle okay?
Compared with Maori Kogoro solving the case, Conan believes that Qin Zhibo can solve the case more.
However, Qin Zhibo disappeared from the ship an hour ago.
Logically speaking, even I have already determined the candidate for the murderer, Qin Zhibo cannot be without action.
Could it be that he has found the key evidence and plans to wait until the welcome reception to make a move?
If so, my preparations seem a bit redundant.
...
5 o'clock, main restaurant No. 1.
It was time for the welcome reception, and the passengers on the ship changed into formal suits and gathered here one after another.
Conan also ran to Maori Ran and others to gather and enjoy a short happy time.
Seeing Dr. Chengshi was there, Conan stepped forward to ask.
"Dr. Chengshi, are you okay?"
"Yes, I've almost recovered. Thank you Conan for your concern~"
Chengshi turned around and looked around. There was no familiar man in the crowd.
So he turned to Conan and asked, "Conan, do you know where Mr. Qin is?"
Conan shook his head truthfully, "I don't know where Uncle Qin is..."
"Maybe he's investigating a case somewhere, and he'll show up later."
Conan guessed so, because he himself was ready to uncover the truth, and there was no reason why Qin Zhibo couldn't find out the truth of the case.
Of course, he did this to wipe the ass of Maori Kogoro who was about to embarrass himself in public, so that he wouldn't be laughed at too badly by everyone.
So he came to Dr. Agasa and whispered, "Doctor, did you bring the recorder?"
"Yes, don't worry..." Dr. Agasa patted his trouser pocket, indicating that the thing was in his pocket.
At this moment, the lights in the venue suddenly flickered, the lighting atmosphere suddenly changed, and the spotlight was focused on the front of the stage.
A beautiful woman with a ponytail in a white uniform stood on the podium and gave a speech.
"Welcome to the Aphrodite..."
"I am the host of this cocktail party tonight, my name is Tsujimoto Kaho."
As soon as the sweet voice fell, warm applause broke out in the venue.
Conan looked at the beauty on the stage and recognized her as the personal secretary of the eight generations of father and daughter.
"Thank you everyone." Tsujimoto Kaho nodded slightly.
"Before the cocktail party officially begins, let me introduce to you the main staff of this cruise ship..."
