The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Chapter 1371 What's in the Box

"bomb!"

"There's a bomb!"

Upon hearing the name "Eight Eggs", the guests at the scene screamed in horror and moved to the back.

The whole venue was in chaos.

"If you don't want the ship to sink, just listen to me!"

Kusaka Hiroyuki held the detonator in his hand as if holding a talisman.

Mumu quickly raised his hand to persuade, "Calm down first!"

"Why on earth are you doing this?"

Facing the police's questions, Kusaka Hiroyuki roared: "It's to avenge my father!"

"Fifteen years ago, the crew member who died on the Yashiro cargo ship was my father!"

"Two years ago, I heard many doubts about the shipwreck from colleagues who came to pay homage to my father."

"The then Yatsushiro Merchant Marine president and director Entaro planned to sink the cargo ship in order to defraud the insurance money to survive the financial crisis!"

"Also, in order to get rid of Captain Okita, who always asked for better treatment of crew members, they won over Kaito Wataru, who was the deputy captain at the time..."

Facing the accusations made by Kusaka Hiroyuki, Kaito Wataru on the stage remained unmoved and unmoved.

Hiroshige Kusaka stared at Kaito Wataru and said coldly: "You agreed to join them, made Captain Okita drink coffee mixed with sleeping pills, and then deliberately caused the ship to hit an iceberg and detonated a prepared bomb at the same time..."

"The location where the bomb was installed was also in accordance with the instructions of the designer Hideto Yashiro, right?"

Kaito Wataru remained silent on the stage.

Only Akiyoshi Minamiko looked surprised, showing an expression of surprise, "I didn't expect the teacher to actually..."

In order to delay time, Megure continued to follow Hirosei Kusaka's words and asked: "Kusaka, tell me how you killed Yashiro Chairman?"

Kusaka Hiroyuki snorted and replied nonchalantly: "Because that old guy pressed me with his body and strangled my neck, so I threw him over my shoulder and threw him into the sea..."

"Then I plan to imitate you in blowing up the ship, and then I will take advantage of the commotion to kill you."

On the stage, Kaito Watari looked down at Hiroyuki Kusaka, his eyes slightly focused, and he opened his mouth to say something, but still couldn't.

At this moment, a male guest quietly approached Hiroyuki Kusaka from behind.

Megure saw it immediately, but now he couldn't stop the guests' behavior. He could only yell to attract Kusaka Hiroyuki's attention.

"Wait a minute! Kusaka!"

"Please take your fingers off the buttons of the remote control first, and then we can sit down and have a good chat..."

"Stop nagging!"

Kusaka Hiroyuki shouted at Memu, but from the corner of his eye, he glanced at the male guest rushing towards him from behind.

He twisted his body to the side, just in time to avoid the male guest's pounce, and at the same time pressed the detonator with his finger.

Conan, who was still taking a detour not far away, preparing to shoot Kusaka with an anesthetic needle, saw this scene and suddenly thought something bad.

Oops!

But just when Conan was ready to receive the first wave of bomb impact, the ground of the venue did not shake at all, nor was there any explosion sound.

There was a trace of doubt in Kusaka Hiroyuki's eyes as he stared at the detonator in his hand. He impatiently pressed the detonation button several times in succession.

However, there was still silence in the banquet hall, and nothing happened at all.

Conan's face was shocked. Could it be that the detonator was broken?

Memu, who was a few meters away, also realized this and rushed forward with his men.

"Get him!"

"ha!"

Takagi, Shiratori and Megure rushed towards Hiroyuki Kusaka, pressing him down like an Arhat, and snatched the detonator from his hand.

When Kusaka Hiroyuki got up from the ground again, he had already put on a pair of silver bracelets on his hands.

"I'm not willing to give in!"

"I'm not convinced!"

Kusaka Hiroyuki was being held on the left and right by Takagi and Shiratori, still roaring angrily.

"Why am I the only one being arrested! The man who killed my father is still standing there fine!"

Kusaka Hiroyuki glared at Kaito Wataru on the stage. This man never showed any apology from beginning to end, and his mood didn't even fluctuate much.

Mumu said with a serious face: "If what you said is true, of course we will not miss a criminal..."

Immediately, he turned to Kaito and said, "Mr. Kaito, can you please come over and cooperate with our investigation."

Kaito Du nodded, "Okay, but before that I have to explain something to my crew..."

With Megure's tacit approval, Kaito Wataru turned to give instructions to the crew around him.

Everything seemed happy.

Conan looked at the successfully solved case and also buckled the anesthesia needle launcher aiming cover on his watch.

The guests at the venue gradually became more relaxed, and the aftermath put a smile on everyone's face.

As soon as Conan returned to the identity of the three little ones, he was questioned by the three little ones.

"Conan, where were you just now?"

"Me? Hehe..."

The corners of Conan's mouth raised slightly. Of course he was ready to become "Mr. Key".

As a result, Mr. Key didn't take it seriously, and Kusaka Hiroyuki's detonator broke at the critical moment.

But this guy's luck was too bad. The detonator was broken. This was the first time Conan encountered a bomber who ended up in such a hasty manner.

Hasty ending...

Suddenly, Conan's expression changed.

He remembered that in the previous Tokyo Tower bombing case, someone had disposed of the bomb installed by the bomber in advance and made a fake bomb that was a false shot.

And that person is Qin Zhibo.

Could it be that the failure of the detonator this time was not luck at all, but that Qin Zhibo predicted the murderer's plan in advance and broke the detonator?

Moreover, Qin Zhibo once stayed in Kusaka Hiroyuki's room for the reason of reading the script, and he probably took advantage of that time to do anything.

Could it be that in this case, Uncle Maoli was on the first floor, he was on the third floor, and Qin Zhibo was standing directly on the fifth floor.

He solved the case early and ruined the murderer's plan, and then chose not to take action in order to give himself a chance to show off.

This uncle...

While Conan was thinking, the conversation between Yuanzi and Mao Lilan came from behind.

"How strange?"

"Yuanzi, what's strange?" Mao Lilan turned to look at Yuanzi.

Sonoko's eyes were a little confused, and she held her chin with one hand as she recalled, "I remember my mother said that the Yashiro Group owes our Suzuki family a big favor..."

"Fifteen years ago, the Yashiro Group had a financial crisis. It was Suzuki's capital injection that allowed it to successfully overcome the crisis. In order to repay the favor, the Yashiro family also asked their designer Mr. Hideto Yashiro to design the 'Shabnis' for free."

"Did I remember it wrong?"

Conan glanced back at Sonoko and frowned slightly.

If what Sonoko said is true, the way the Yashiro Group weathered the crisis 15 years ago was by seeking help from the Suzuki Consortium instead of defrauding insurance companies.

So the sinking of the cargo ship 15 years ago was not caused by the Yashiro father and daughter teaming up with deputy captain Kaito Wataru to bomb the ship, but there was something else hidden...

boom!

Suddenly there was a loud noise at the bottom of the cabin.

The ground in the entire venue shook violently, and the guests who had just regained their composure were instantly panicked. Screams and the crackle of things breaking could be heard incessantly.

Memu looked around in panic and asked loudly: "What happened!"

There was cold sweat on Shiratiao's forehead, "Maybe there was an explosion somewhere..."

"Explosion?" Meguro tilted his head and glanced at the detonator in his hand, then turned to look at Hiroyuki Kusaka, "Did you install other bombs?!"

The arrested Kusaka Hiroshige also shook his head in confusion, "I don't know..."

At this time, Kaito Wataru also ran over and said to Megure: "Mr. Police, I have to confirm the damage to the ship now. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave with you for the time being."

Megure's eyes were fixed and he knew the seriousness of the situation, so he could only let Kaito Wataru, the captain, leave to command the entire ship.

At the same time, Akiyoshi Minamiko, who was watching Kaito Wataru leave, also took steps and quietly left the venue.

On the other side, Qin Zhibo was walking in the cargo passage at the bottom of the cabin.

The sudden explosion and the violent shaking of the ground forced him to hold on to the iron wall beside him, and then he could barely stabilize his body.

When the impact of the explosion subsided, there was a terrible sound of the hull being squeezed and deformed from below the floor, and seawater began to flood into the cabin from the bottom floor.

All this was within Qin Zhibo's expectation.

He had already guessed that she was using a countdown bomb based on the search results in Minami Akiyoshi's room.

The time of the explosion happened to be the time for the welcome reception.

The reason why he did not try to dismantle these bombs was because only the existence of these bombs could minimize the possibility of causing casualties.

Only when it is confirmed that the damage to the ship is irreparable, the passengers on the ship must escape in lifeboats.

Thus, the plans of those behind the voyage were foiled.

At this moment, a sound suddenly came from the long freight channel.

Qin Zhibo quickly put on the magic ring and entered the invisible state.

I saw four uniformed crew members coming to the passage and walking along the passage to the end.

There is a large cargo elevator that can be extended outside the hull to transport supplies from the port directly to the height of the cruise ship's cargo hold.

A large amount of supplies on cruise ships are transported through this channel.

However, there is no material transportation now, and the freight elevator is also in an external state.

One of the crew members came behind the control console and pressed the recovery button, and the humming sound of the huge motor was heard.

As the elevator gradually emerged from the sea level and rose to the height of the cargo door, a huge iron box slowly appeared.

Qin Zhibo hid in the dark and took a closer look. This should be the iron box Chengshi saw in the dock.

As he had guessed before, the iron box was not hidden in the ship, but was hidden under the sea surface outside the ship along the cargo elevator.

As a result, Minase Yomu, who only searched inside the ship, would naturally not be able to find it.

The four crew members had dark skin and looked to be sailors.

They cooperated tacitly and quickly unfastened the iron box and unloaded it from the freight platform.

But before they could push the iron box, a man's figure quietly appeared among them.

"Who are you!"

A sharp-eyed crew member saw Qin Zhibo and just shouted out when the latter punched him in the face and knocked him unconscious.

The other three people also came to their senses. When they saw Qin Zhibo suddenly appearing, they immediately rushed towards him with fists raised.

But how could these people be Qin Zhibo's opponents?

Qin Zhibo first raised his crotch and kicked a crew member, then dodged a crew member's fist and punched the crew member in the abdomen while dodging.

In just a few seconds, three crew members were knocked down by him.

The last person left was still stubborn and rushed over like crazy.

Qin Zhibo shook his head lightly, took out a pocket pistol from his pocket and pointed it at the crew's head.

Although the pocket pistol looks cute, the four black muzzles don't look like a joke prop.

The crew instinctively regained his sanity and stopped his forward steps in time.

Qin Zhibo used the [Inspiration Gun] to pretend to be a real pistol, pointed it at the crew's head, and asked: "Tell me what's in this iron box?"

The crew member who was frozen in place glanced at the box next to him, with some hesitation on his face.

Seeing this, Qin Zhibo's face turned fierce, and he imitated Gin's cold look and said: "Answer me, or I will shoot you to death!"

This sentence was quite deterrent, and thanks to the blessing of Qin Zhibo's personal skills (intimidation), the crew was frightened and shivered.

"Yes..."

"Black Goat Kid..."

Hearing this unfamiliar term, Qin Zhibo frowned.

He continued to ask: "Where did it come from? Who asked you to bring it up?"

The crew shook his head, "I don't know..."

"Tell the truth! Or I'll kill you!"

"It was Deputy Captain Ize!"

Qin Zhibo thought about it and didn't have much impression of this person, because the one he saw in public was Captain Kaitoto.

"Why did you bring this on this ship?"

"...Because of the Supreme Mother Goddess..."

Supreme Mother Goddess?

Another word he had never heard of.

At this moment, the hull suddenly shook violently.

Qin Zhibo staggered and almost fell.

The crew also took the opportunity to rush over and knocked Qin Zhibo down, trying to snatch Qin Zhibo's pocket pistol.

But Qin Zhibo directly let go of the hand holding the pistol and let him snatch the pistol away.

However, just as he pulled the trigger at Qin Zhibo with a ferocious expression, the bullet fired from it did not cause any harm to Qin Zhibo.

Huh?

The crew glanced at the gun in his hand in confusion.

But before he could figure out what was going on, a fist as big as a sandbag hit him in the face, knocking him unconscious.

"I bet there's no bullet in your gun..."

Qin Zhibo stood up, took back the [Inspiration Gun], and said lightly to the crew member who fainted on the ground.

Then, he came to the iron box and carefully put his ear next to the box.

Although the crew member just said the name of the contents of the box, the main task did not appear to be completed.

Qin Zhibo guessed that it was because he had not personally experienced the contents of the box, so he did not really "know".

As his ear got closer, a creepy voice gradually became clear.
