Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

156 Theft
"Is that the real thing?" Mori Kogoro, who was sitting next to Qinglan, asked curiously after Hanchuanlong disappeared from everyone's sight.

Qing Lan shook her head when she heard the words: "I can't confirm this in a short time, so I can't make a judgment."

Without Han Chuanlong, the atmosphere destroyer, the atmosphere in the banquet was a lot more relaxed. Everyone watched the beautiful scenery with the sea breeze blowing, and returned to their rooms to rest after eating and drinking.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when no one was around, Qinglan found Shi Ye and whispered what he hadn't said before: "Mr. Shi Ye, the ring on Han Chuanlong's hand belongs to Princess Maria, and it should belong to Miss Natsumi. Do you want me..."

"Don't worry, the things that belong to Xia Mei will naturally be returned to their original owners, but there is no need to use extreme measures, I have my own arrangements." Shi Ye interrupted Qing Lan, looking at her anxious expression and asked, "You Is there anything else to say?"

"Actually, when I was in the room before, Han Chuanlong accidentally took a picture of the room when I opened the door...it was my great-grandfather's picture." Qinglan lowered her head a little ashamedly and explained the situation.

Looking at the other party's expression like a child in trouble, Ishino laughed a little and said: "What a big deal, if you are photographed, you will be photographed. Is it illegal to worship Rasputin? Besides, even if people know that you are Rasputin So what about the descendants, are you still afraid of these?"

Qinglan was taken aback when she heard the words, then she suddenly realized, and said with some shame: "It's me who is acting, in the final analysis, it's the inferiority complex in my heart that is causing the trouble. When you say that, I feel that I am just like Rasputin." It’s not a big deal for your descendants to show others.”

"That's right, let's go back and rest early. Seeing Han Chuanlong's deliberate look, I think he will be a moth soon." Ishino patted the other party's shoulder with satisfaction, then waved his hand and headed towards his room go.

But as soon as he reached the corner, he bumped into the two daughters head-on. The eldest daughter was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to speak, while the younger daughter rolled her half-moon eyes and reminded seriously: "Secretly and other single women behind my mother's back." It's not smart to have intimate interactions, Dad."

Ishino's behavior just now really brought in the role of brother-in-law, but he didn't expect to be bumped into by Xiao Ai Xiaosaki and the others, but with his concentration and face that he has cultivated for many years, he naturally wouldn't care about such things, and responded calmly: "I am open and aboveboard to exchange feelings with fellow villagers. Patting on the shoulders in my hometown is a normal interaction, just like Europeans and Americans hugging each other."

"That's good, go back to the room quickly, don't keep mom waiting." Although Xiao Ai doesn't know if there is such a custom and etiquette in China, but seeing her father's bright and open appearance, there is no reason to doubt it , I believed the other party's rhetoric.

Xiaosaki at the side let out a long sigh of relief after learning that it was a misunderstanding, feeling lucky and happy that a family crisis had been avoided.

……

An hour later, there was a hasty knock on the door in the corridor of the guest room area, and people in each room went out to check after hearing the noise.

Han Chuanlong knocked on Kogoro Mori's door anxiously, and exclaimed loudly when he saw him: "Detective Maori! My room was stolen, and the ring from the Romanov dynasty is gone!"

"What? Is it the ring on the necklace you wore before?" Mori Kogoro asked hurriedly.

"That's right, it's the ring, it's gone together with the necklace!" Said Han Chuanlong stomping his feet anxiously, "That ring is worth 3000 million yen. This is a case, Maori Detective!"

"Three, 3000 million?!" Mori Kogoro exclaimed in shock, then nodded his head and said seriously, "This is not a trivial matter, let's go to your room first to see if there are any clues."

Seeing that Kazumori Kogoro planned to go directly to the room with the other party to investigate, Conan asked in time: "Mr. Hanchuan, are you sure that only the necklace with the ring is missing?"

"Hey, that's right, only the ring is missing, what's the problem?" Han Chuanlong was a little anxious, but he couldn't bear to scold the child in front of so many people, so he reluctantly answered.

Seeing that Conan was ignoring his own situation and forcibly entering the selfless state of Xiu Reasoning, Ishino said before he could speak: "Mr. Hanchuan, you should have never worn that necklace before the evening reception, so you still have to wear it after you leave the deck?" Have you wandered around wearing this necklace?"

Han Chuanlong saw the questions one after another. He was a bit guilty of directing and acting, and he felt inexplicably irritated. He just wanted to refuse to answer, but was caught by the invisible aura of Ishino, and had to bite the bullet and answer the other party's question: "That's not true. I went back to my room and took a shower. The necklace was placed under the pillow."

Ishino nodded when he heard the words, and continued to analyze: "Since this is the case, it means that the target of the thief is very clear, which is the ring, so the suspect should be on the deck at that time and have seen the necklace on you among the people."

Hearing Ishino's analysis, everyone at the scene showed surprised expressions and glanced at each other. After being reminded by these words, Mori Kogoro realized something, and said to everyone: "Because everyone present is suspicious, in order to prevent The prisoner took the opportunity to transfer the stolen goods, please gather in the reception room for the time being, and deal with it after we finish the investigation."

Since everyone knew that they were not criminals, although they felt a little troublesome, they all expressed their willingness to cooperate, but when everyone was about to go to the reception room together, Ishino suddenly reached out and stopped Mori Kogoro, who was about to go to Suzukawa Ryu's room.

Seeing the other party reaching out to stop him, Mori Kogoro asked a little strangely: "Mr. Ishino, do you have any clues to explain when you stopped me?"

Ishino shook his head, looked at the other party with a smile on his face and said: "No, I just suddenly thought that you, Mr. Mori, were also at the scene at the time, so you are as suspicious as everyone else, so you have to go to the parlor with us .”

Hearing the other party's righteous speech, Mori Kogoro's eyes suddenly turned into bead eyes, and he felt a little at a loss that he didn't enjoy the special treatment as a detective for the first time.

Conan on the side also became pea-eyed after Ishino said these words, but he quickly reacted and began to recall the cases he had experienced with Mori Kogoro before, and found that he was often at the scene of the case. It is true that he was directly excluded as a suspect because of his special identity, but after thinking about it carefully, this kind of hasty handling is indeed against the rules.
