Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 323 On-Hook Button

  Emura Namin was attracted by the sound of the gunfire. When he turned and ran to the deck, he turned around and saw Jiang Xia leaning against the wall in the corridor, looking like he was distracted.

   Although he was a little strange, he didn't have the heart to ask questions at this time, and quickly crossed Jiangxia to look for the gunshots.

   After he left, the eyes of the dull-looking man behind him suddenly moved.

  Jiang Xia stood up straight away from the wall, looked back at Eina Minoru's back, and followed with a complicated expression.

  …

   Next to the restaurant, which is closer to the deck, Conan, Hattori Heiji, and Shimaharu, who returned to the restaurant after 0:00, have already climbed the stairs leading to the deck.

   They also heard "gunshots" outside.

  Three people walked down the stairs to the deck and saw the flag hanging on the observation deck was burning.

   In addition, not far from my feet, there is a banknote nailed to the ground by a knife. Two lines of sharp words are engraved on the banknote:

  [Poseidon, the **** of the sea, gave me life, and my shadow has been resurrected]

  Jiang Xia stepped on the deck and just glanced at it from a distance, when he suddenly felt a chubby figure flashing by. He glanced sideways, and found that it was the beer belly of Shigeo Whalei.

   The "gunshot" just now was actually a firecracker set off by Dadao Kashii using a cigarette as a timing device.

At this time, Brother Jingjing, the black hand behind the scenes, took a closer look at the banknotes he had nailed to the ground, and the words he had handwritten on the banknotes. With a look of horror on his face, he howled: "It's him! Ye Caisan is still alive. , help, help—!!”

The line    was so suspicious that everyone on the boat looked at him strangely.

   But without waiting to ask, the timing device arranged in another place just started - on the deck at the stern, there was a loud explosion, followed by billowing smoke.

  …

What    blew up was the box used to hold the emergency escape ladder.

   A group of people hurriedly approached, and across the throbbing flames, they saw a vague figure in the burning box.

   Jiang Xia looked at the flames of the explosion and the scorched corpses in the fire, and suddenly realized that this seemed to be a good reason to hang up.

   As he was thinking about it, he saw Conan and Hattori Heiji who were rushing in front of him, after whispering a few words, looked around.

   Finally, the eyes of the two of them stopped on him, showing a slightly surprised and slightly relieved expression.

   Judging from the eavesdropping information passed by Xiaobai, the two seem to be very relieved that Jiang Xia was not the first target of silence because he solved the case too quickly in the past.

   Jiang Xia: "..."

   At first, he didn't feel anything, but now that two people said this, he suddenly felt that he had lost a murderous aura.

Beside   , Jingao Kujii, who was secretly laughing in his heart, suddenly had his hair stand on end.

   He turned his head sharply and looked around, and found that the Tokyo detective next to him gave him a look for some reason, his eyes were deep and confusing.

  …

  The fire was gradually put out.

  The watch on the charred corpse's hand, and some cosmetic materials on the face that were burnt and deformed appeared in front of everyone. It was recognized that the watch belonged to a passenger named Kan Jiangjiu.

   A group of people gathered to observe the corpse, and began to check the alibi of everyone on the boat. They were lined up, and Nagisa Isogei suddenly remembered a person.

She held her cheeks and said, "Apart from the two guests who hid in the cabin and never showed up, there was actually one person who lacked an alibi--a Mr. Kameda said at the beginning of dinner that he was seasick, One step back to the room, and I never saw him again after that."

  ...Actually, you just saw that charred corpse. Jiang Xia thought boredly, and glanced at the two classmates who were concentrating on arguing about the case. She couldn't help thinking that if Mao Lilan was on the boat now, she might have made rich associations about the explosion and the scorched corpse, and took the initiative to ask Jiang Xia if he wanted to go back to the room to rest, so that he could hang up more reasonably.

Sure enough, I know how to cherish it when I lose it. If I encounter this kind of thing in the future, I have to try to bring a careful girl with me... Jiang Xia missed his caring classmate Maori for a while. Just thinking about it, the two detectives at the table who were arguing suddenly turned to Him: "What kind of situation do you think it is?"

   Jiang Xia: "...?"

   The three of them looked at each other for a moment, Jiang Xia gradually realized that Hattori Heiji and Conan seemed to be at odds with each other, so he was asking his opinion.

   However, he didn't listen to the lecture just now, and the ghosts weren't interested in these things, and they didn't even listen to anything.

Just when Jiang Xia hesitated for a moment and wanted to make a "wrong", Conan suddenly thought of the previous explosion and scorched corpse, and realized that the reference book might not be online today - he remembered that Jiang Xia encountered similar things every time , will be like being blocked by reasoning... No, they will all think of the past, and their thinking will become sluggish.

   This made Conan suddenly mixed, happy that he could concentrate on solving the puzzle to the end today, but also worried that if the murderer had other plans, it might lead to other people being killed.

   Anyway, since the truth is still unknown, it is necessary to look for evidence.

   The two quickly got up and left.

   Jiang Xia didn't go with them, seeing Hai Lao Ming Ren also returned to the room. He leaned back in his chair and let the shikigami and the puppet follow.

  …

   Eina Minato returned to his empty room, sat on a chair, looked at the bomb in the center of the room, and closed his eyes silently.

   The explosion just now and the money stuck on the ground made him think that Ye Caisan and his accomplices must be on the boat.

   In other words, his plan to perish together can be implemented.

Just thinking about what it would be like to be killed by a bomb, Eina Minoru heard a slight noise in front of him—the heavy bomb bag was lifted from the ground, and the strap made a sound of being stretched. .

  The old name Minoru was startled, and suddenly opened his eyes. In the center of the room, a woman in a black dress nodded slightly towards him, carried his bag to the door, unscrewed the locked door, and walked out naturally.

  “…?”

   How did this person get in? Did I walk into the wrong room? Wait, whose room is this? ...my bomb! !

   A series of thoughts flashed through, Eina Minoru jumped up from the stool and quickly chased out the door.

At one end of the corridor, the figure of the man who stole his bomb was reflected. The pace of the "robber" was not in a hurry, but Hai Lao Mingmin found that no matter how he chased, he seemed to be a certain distance away, which gave him the illusion that the opposite was fluttering. When he recovered, the two had already to the deck.

In the darkness of the night, the sea breeze was blowing, and Hai Lao Mingmin watched as the woman raised her hand and swung it, and the heavy bomb box drew an arc and was thrown dozens of meters away. The splash of water quickly sank and disappeared without a trace.

   Jiang Xia heard the screams of several ghosts.
