Ebina Minoru was attracted by the sound of gunfire. When he turned around and ran towards the deck, he turned around and saw Jiang Xia leaning against the wall in the corridor, seemingly distracted.
Although he was a little strange, he had no intention of asking questions at this time and quickly crossed Jiangxia to look for the sound of gunfire.
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 Ebina Mingmin's back, and followed him with a complicated expression.
…
Next to the restaurant closer to the deck, Conan, Hattori Heiji and Samezaki Shimaharu, who returned to the restaurant after 0 o'clock, had already climbed the stairs leading to the deck.
They also heard "gunshots" outside.
The three people walked up the stairs to the deck and saw the flag hanging on the observation deck burning brightly.
In addition, not far from my feet, there was a piece of banknote nailed to the ground with a knife. There were two lines of sharp words engraved on the banknote:
[Poseidon, God of the Sea, gave me life, and my shadow has been resurrected]
Jiang Xia stepped onto the deck and just took a look from a distance when he suddenly felt a fat figure flashing next to him. He looked sideways and found that it was Sadao Whalei with a beer belly.
The "gunshot" just now was actually Sadao Whalei using a cigarette as a timing device to ignite the firecrackers that had been set in advance.
At this time, Brother Jingjing, the mastermind behind the scenes, took a closer look at the banknotes he had nailed to the ground and the words written by himself on the banknotes. He looked horrified and howled: "It's him! Ye Caisan is indeed still alive."
,Help, help—!!”
This line was so suspicious that everyone on the boat looked at him strangely.
But before he could ask further, the timing device arranged in another place also happened to be activated - on the deck at the stern, there was a violent explosion, followed by thick smoke rising.
…
What was blown up was the box used to contain the emergency escape ladder.
A group of people hurriedly approached, and through the dancing flames, they saw a vague figure in the burning box.
Jiang Xia looked at the explosion of fire and the scorched corpses in the fire, and suddenly realized that this seemed to be a good reason to hang up.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Conan and Hattori Heiji rushing in front. After whispering a few words, they looked around.
Finally, the two people's eyes stopped on him, showing expressions of a little surprise and a little relief.
Judging from the eavesdropping intelligence sent back by Xiaobai, these two people seemed to be very happy that Jiang Xia was not the first target to be silenced because he solved the case too quickly in the past.
Jiang Xia: "..."
He didn't think it was anything at first, but now that two people said this, he suddenly felt that he had lost a lot of murderous energy.
Next to him, Whalei Sadao, who was laughing secretly in his heart, suddenly felt his hair standing on end.
He suddenly turned his head and looked around, and found that the Tokyo detective next to him had glanced at him for some reason, his eyes deep and confusing.
…
The fire was gradually put out.
The watch on the charred corpse's hand and some plastic surgery materials on the face that had been burned and deformed appeared in front of everyone. Someone recognized that the watch belonged to a passenger named Hisashi Kanie.
A group of people gathered together to observe the corpse, and began to check the alibi of everyone on the ship. While lining up, Isogai Nagisa suddenly remembered a person.
She held her chin 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 - Mr. Kameda said that he was seasick at the beginning of the dinner.
I returned to the room in one step, and I never saw him again."
...Actually, it was the charred corpse you just saw. Jiang Xia thought boredly and glanced at the two classmates who were concentrating on arguing about the case. She couldn't help but think, if Mao Lilan was on the boat now, she would
He may have developed rich associations with explosions and scorched corpses, 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, you only know how to cherish things after you lose them. If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you must try to bring a careful girl with you... Jiang Xia missed her caring classmate Maori, and just as she was thinking about it, the two detectives who were arguing at the table suddenly turned to
Him: "What do you think is going on?"
Jiang Xia: "...?"
The three of them looked at each other for a moment, and Jiang Xia gradually realized that Hattori Heiji and Conan seemed to have different opinions, so he asked him what he thought.
However, he didn't listen just now, and the ghosts were not interested in these things, and they didn't listen to anything.
Just when Jiang Xia hesitated for a moment, thinking that "nothing is right", Conan suddenly thought of the previous explosion and scorched corpses, and realized that the reference book might not be online today - he remembered every time Jiang Xia encountered similar things
, it’s like being blocked from reasoning... No, it’s because they think of past events and their thinking becomes sluggish.
This immediately made Conan feel mixed. He was happy that he could concentrate on solving the mystery today, but he was also worried that if the murderer had other intentions, this might lead to other people being killed.
In any case, since the truth is still unknown, it is necessary to look for evidence.
The two people quickly got up and left.
Jiang Xia did not join them, but saw that Ebina Mingmin had also returned to the room. He leaned back on the chair and let the shikigami and the puppet follow.
…
Ebina Minoru 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 ship.
In other words, his plan to die together can be implemented.
Just as he was thinking about what it would be like to be killed by a bomb, Ebina Minoru heard a slight noise in front of him - the heavy bomb package was lifted from the ground, and the straps made a stretching sound.
.
Ebina Minoru was startled and opened his eyes suddenly. In the middle of the room, he saw a woman in a black dress nodded to him, carried his bag and walked to the door, opened the locked door, and walked out naturally.
"...?"
How did this guy get in? Did I go to the wrong room? Wait, whose room is this?... My bomb!!
A series of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Ebina Minoru jumped up from his stool and hurriedly chased him out the door.
At one end of the corridor, the figure of the man who snatched his bomb was reflected. The pace of the "robber" was neither hasty nor slow, but Ebina Minoru found that no matter how he chased him, he seemed to be missing a certain distance, which made him think for a moment.
There was an illusion that the opposite side was floating. When they came back to their senses, the two of them were already on the deck.
In the night, the sea breeze blew against his face. Ebina Minami watched helplessly as the woman raised her hand and the heavy bomb box drew an arc and was thrown dozens of meters away. Finally, it smashed a beautiful bomb in the sea.
The water splashed quickly and sank without a trace.
Jiang Xia heard several ghosts screaming in surprise.
