Chapter 61: The Ben Clan

As he started writing novels and became a screenwriter, Minghai Qinglong's income soared, and he finally bought a car not long ago.

Lexus GS300, commonly known as the Big Face Cat, was very fond of this car before Naruhiro Kyoto traveled through time, but the price was too expensive and it has become an old car. Now this car has only been on the market for less than two years, and it is still a Japanese car and does not require tariffs. Even so, the price is still quite expensive.

With his driving skills, Minghai Qinglong's driving skills are comparable to those of professional racers. He galloped on the road and his eyes were attracted wherever he passed.

Soon, Minghai Qinglong drove to a port, and a luxury cruise ship was parked not far away, with several police cars nearby. Under the guidance of a policeman, Minghai Qinglong boarded the cruise ship and saw Officer Meguri and another acquaintance.

"Brother Minghai, you are finally here!" Officer Memu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Officer Meguri, hasn't the case been solved by me? Why did you ask this kid to come here?" Kogoro Mouri said dissatisfied.

"It's because you broke it, that I feel something is wrong!" Officer Memu thought to himself.

This afternoon, the Metropolitan Police Department received a report that someone was killed on the cruise ship and was sailing on the sea. Coincidentally, Kogoro Mouri happened to be on the ship, and as usual, he found the murderer in just a few seconds.

When Officer Meguro came to investigate, he found that there were many suspicions. As for the murderer mentioned by Kogoro Mori, the whereabouts of the murderer, he was already unknown and was still searching. Secondly, according to his past experience, any murderer mentioned by Kogoro Mori was usually not the real murderer. To be safe, please decisively ask Kiyoshi Naruhira to come and help.

Ignoring Maori Kogoro's complaints, Officer Meguri directly began to introduce the case, "There are two deceaseds, the first one is Yumoto Haozang, the chairman of Yumoto Group. He is 72 years old this year. The death was about 8 o'clock last night. The cause of death was caused by a sharp knife in his abdomen and he died of excessive blood loss.

The second one is Yumoto Ryuno, who is the grandson-in-law of Yumoto Haozang. He is 26 years old this year. His death was about 9 o'clock last night. The cause of death was a severe blow to the head.

In addition to the two dead, one of them was also attacked, but fortunately they were only injured. We asked him, but unfortunately the power broke out at that time and we didn’t see the murderer clearly.”

After hearing the name of the deceased, Minghai Qinglong felt a little confused, "I want to go to the crime scene of the first deceased to see it first."

Officer Megumi took Naruhiro Kiyoshi to a luxurious bedroom. The body of the deceased was still on the ground. Thanks to Kogoro Mouri, the scene was not destroyed.

Officer Meguri said: "Maori, you were on the boat at that time. You know the situation at the scene best. You should tell me."

Looking at Naruhiro Kiyoshi, Kogoro Mori said confidently: "The first person to discover the deceased is the butler Suzuki. It is said that the room was locked from the inside, and only one key can be opened. The key has been on the butler. The window of the room is not open, and this is equivalent to a secret room, which usually should be suicide.

But there is no weapon in the house, and you see, there is blood on the threshold. If you commit suicide in the house, there should not be one here. That is to say, the deceased should have been attacked when the door opened. Later, in order to avoid the murderer's pursuit, the deceased escaped into the house and locked the door, but died of excessive blood loss. In this way, the room is sealed, and the weapon is not on the scene and there is blood at the door."

Naruhiro Kiyoshi praised: "Mr. Maori's reasoning is good."

Without Conan by his side, Kogoro Mouri can only rely on himself to encounter cases, and there are losses and gains. Some things that were originally inferred by Conan's guidance can be discovered by themselves.

It is rare to be praised by others. Kogoro Mouri was slightly proud, "It's not over yet. The housekeeper said that a flower fell at the door, which was only found on the island of Yumoto. Today, Miss Natsuko and his husband Yumoto got married. Miss Natsuko happened to pick one and just put it on his husband's chest.

Before the incident, Yumotobu was called to the room by the deceased. Someone happened to hear them quarrel outside the door. Yumotobu turned out to be the son of Caicheng Yongfu. This Yumotobu was said to have been taken away by the deceased 10 years ago and finally committed suicide.

Yu Benwu approached Miss Xia Jiang for revenge. All of this was planned by him, but he accidentally dropped the flower on the ground after killing someone, which revealed his flaws."

Minghai Qinglong shook his head in his heart, walked to the door, pointed to the ground and said, "Did the flowers you mentioned fall near here?"

Kogoro Mouri said: "That's right."

Minghai Qinglong said: "According to your previous reasoning, the deceased should have been attacked when the door opened. So the problem arises, there is blood on the threshold, and there is no outside the door."

Kogoro Mouri thought for a while and said, "Maybe the murderer deliberately wiped it off in order to avoid the body being discovered too early."

Minghai Qinglong nodded and said, "No, look carefully here. There are indeed traces of being wiped. Since the murderer has the time to wipe off the blood here, how could he not notice that a flower fell here? "

"This..." Kogoro Mouri choked.

Minghai Qinglong said: "It is obvious that the murderer deliberately put the flowers here after wiping off the blood. In other words, he deliberately blamed the murder charge on Yumotobu."

Although he understood what the other party said was reasonable, Kogoro Mouri was still a little dissatisfied, "Then do you know who the murderer is?"

Minghai Qinglong pointed to a piece of stuff in the blood and said, "I should know soon."

Next, Minghai Qinglong went to the scene of the second deceased's murder, outside the deck.

Officer Meguri said: "From the wound, the weapon should be a blunt weapon such as an iron pipe."

Minghai Qinglong asked, "Since you believe that Yumoto Wu was the murderer who killed Yumoto Haozang, did you lock him up?"

Kogoro Maori said: "It was locked in a warehouse, but when Yumoto Ryuno was killed, Yumoto Take had disappeared from the warehouse."

Minghai Kiyoto said: "Can he come out of the warehouse by himself?"

Kogoro Mouri said: "It should not be possible, the warehouse is locked from outside."

Minghai Qingtou said: "It's obvious that this is another trump card, but the methods are very rough, and it should be a temporary idea. You just said that there was another person who was also attacked. Who? Where did it happen?"

Kogoro Maori said: "It was Ichiro Yumoto who was attacked in the bathroom. The power was out of stock at that time."

Minghai Qinglong asked, "He said in person that he couldn't see the murderer's appearance?"

Kogoro Mouri said, "Yes, he said it himself."

Minghai Qinglong said: "Since he can't see the murderer, how can the murderer see him?"

Kogoro Mouri was stunned, and Kiyotsuki Naruhiro continued to ask: "Has a weapon been found at the scene at that time?"

Kogoro Mori said, "There is a bloody knife."

Minghai Qinglong said meaningfully: "The murderer dealt with the murder weapon twice before, why didn't this time? Could it be that there was some reason that he couldn't do it?"
