Chapter 225 Unexpected unfolding

"Even if I can make a movie in the end, I will only be a supporting character standing behind the protagonist..."

"But the cost of makeup for these supporting characters is also quite high..."

"If we let these fans who like horror movies participate, we can save a lot of money."

Medusa continued.

"And using the ghost ship in the movie to hold events can also build momentum for the movie."

Just when Mouri Kogoro and Sonoko, two laymen who had no idea what was going on, listened to Medusa's words and nodded like chickens pecking at rice, the ghost captain's voice sounded again.

"Everyone! It's time to set sail... sail across the seven seas and let those stupid and arrogant humans... see how powerful our monsters are!"

Mouri Kogoro was stunned: "Huh? Are you really going to go to sea?"

He originally thought that holding this party on a ghost ship on the shore was the limit, but he didn't expect that this ghost ship would actually go to sea!

Mouri Kogoro looked at his teammates again——

Sonoko is the soy sauce, Medusa seems to be very reliable, and the werewolf and mummy are people I have just met.

His eyes turned to the last two people.

"One is the faceless man, and the other... Mummy No. 2?"

The man, who had bandages on his face and hands and looked no different from a mummy, clicked his tongue twice and shook his fingers in front of his eyes, indicating that Kogoro Mouri's statement was incorrect.

He took the initiative to extend his hand and motioned for Yuanzi to shake his hand.

As soon as Sonoko held the bandaged hand, the bandage on his hand fell off, and there was nothing under the palm-shaped bandage!

"I see, you are a transparent person..." Mouri Kogoro immediately told what role this person played.

Seeing that everyone else on the deck was looking for their fellow participants in a lively manner, the members of the Devil Card team who had gathered early knew that it would probably take quite some time before the activities would officially start.

The werewolf and the mummy both walked away, not knowing what to do.

"The person who got the Death Card!"

"Hermit! Where is the person who got the hermit card?"

"Great, we finally found them all..."

Time passed by, and the monsters and monsters on the ship gradually found their companions. On the contrary, it was the "Devil" Tarot deck that was assembled first, and two people still hadn't returned.

"Why haven't they come back yet..." Mouri Kogoro began to look at his watch anxiously.

"Did you go to the toilet?" Yuanzi looked around.

Medusa frowned slightly: "It's better to go and find them quickly. The banquet is about to begin..."

The group of people walked to the bathroom on the ship together.

"Wow! What the hell is this toilet! It's pitch black, there are spider webs everywhere, and the mirrors are broken..."

Mouri Kogoro's face was full of disgust.

"Are Mr. Werewolf and Mummy here?"

Yuanzi asked loudly inside.

Suddenly, a series of high-pitched wolf howls came from the dark bathroom. The werewolf hurriedly opened the bathroom door, looked at his watch, and rushed outside.

"Hey, wait..."

Just when Mouri Kogoro wanted to call him, the werewolf ran away without looking back, not knowing where he was going.

"What are you doing..."

Everyone was a little confused, but they had no choice but to follow.

When everyone found the werewolf, they saw him already sitting in the bar on the ship, sipping wine.

Mouri Kogoro walked up to him: "Boy, what's wrong with you? What bad thing did you do just now?"

"I want a drink like his." He patted the werewolf on the shoulder, sat down next to him, and said to the bartender.

"Is it a silver bullet? Come right away." The bartender responded quickly.

But what Mouri Kogoro didn't expect was that the werewolf ignored him, stood up and walked away with the wine glass in hand, looking left and right while making a wolf howl sound of "ah woo woo".

"Is he looking for someone?" Mouri Kogoro guessed unhappily as he looked at the werewolf's behavior.

At this moment, all the lights on the ship suddenly went out. Medusa looked at her watch and murmured: "It's time..."

The ghost captain's voice came over the ship's broadcast again.

"Listen up, monsters... I have good news to announce! The party's dinner is ready..."

"I heard that in this party in the demon world, ordinary humans who have no idea about life and death and have no magic power have sneaked in... Please work together to find those stupid humans!"

"Eat their flesh, take out their entrails, and drink the last drop of their blood..."

"I hold the key to finding them. If you want to get a reward... come to the deck and see my revelation..."

Upon hearing the captain's announcement, all the monsters and monsters on the ship roared and rushed to the deck, hoping to be the first to learn about the so-called revelation and solve the captain's mystery.

The scene was once very chaotic, with all kinds of strange costumes gathered together, crowding and pushing, creating a grand scene of dancing demons.

When Mouri Kogoro rushed to the deck, he saw that the party participants who had gone on the deck before him had stopped, looked up, and hesitated.

"What's going on..."

Mouri Kogoro murmured in a low voice, wondering why the group of people who were so excited just stopped suddenly.

When he followed the others' gaze to the top of the mast, he was immediately horrified.

Under the bright full moon, the ghost captain was hanging upside down on the hemp rope net used to climb to the top of the mast, swaying with the moist sea breeze...

"Death, Captain Undead?!"

But soon, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this was another performance deliberately designed by the other party to enhance the atmosphere.

"Tick-tick, tick-tock..."

There seemed to be some liquid falling from the air to the deck. Medusa squatted down and gently touched these drops of crimson liquid with her hands.

"This is real blood... Hurry! Put him down quickly!"

Medusa said sternly to the onlookers on the side.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As if the dead souls on this ghost ship heard her words, a gust of wind blew by, and the body of the undead captain, who was originally hanging on the net by friction, swayed straight from

It fell down in mid-air.

As the undead captain's body hit the deck, everyone could see clearly that there was a crossbow arrow stuck in his heart that had penetrated the tarot cards.

"Shot through the heart by a crossbow arrow... and a special card was attached."

As a famous detective, Kogoro Mouri immediately began to organize the scene and inspected the corpse of the undead captain.

"This means... the leader who led him to the Underworld was a demon?" Medusa stood aside, her face not good-looking, "Eighty percent of the crossbow that shot this arrow has been thrown into the Pacific Ocean. It's difficult.

turn up……"

"Then let's see who the deceased is first..."

Mouri Kogoro reached out and uncovered the skull mask on the undead captain.

"I seem to have seen this face somewhere..." Looking at the face of an ordinary middle-aged man, he felt that it looked quite familiar.

"Is this person the filmmaker who often appears on TV?" Sonoko immediately agreed.

"I remember his name is Fukuura Chizo. Before the Captain Undead series, he became famous for producing [The 13th Day]." Medusa revealed this person's identity in one sentence.

"Then the one who plays the undead captain in the movie is also this producer?" Mouri Kogoro asked subconsciously.

"No...it's played by actors in the movie." Finally, a staff member came over after hearing the news, "Because Mr. Fukuura likes the role of Captain Undead very much, so he plays it himself every time there is a monster party."

"When the undead captain stood on the mast and announced the idea of ​​​​game prompts under the light, it was also his decision..."

The staff couldn't hide the sad look on their faces.

"Then what is the answer to finding humans among monsters?" Mouri Kogoro asked.

"This, this..." the staff hesitated, "Mr. Fukuura decided the puzzles and hints alone, and we staff were completely unaware of it."

"But I heard that the first group to solve the puzzle can get a coupon for the preview screening."

"And to avoid suspicion, these tarot cards were made by Mr. Fukuura himself, and we have no way to prepare them in advance..."

The staff talked to each other and told me the information they knew.

Medusa looked a little solemn. She turned around, glanced around, and said slowly: "In that case, the murderer... is probably among the seven of us who got the devil card!"

"How long does it take for this ship to return to Yokohama?" She asked the staff another question.

"It should take about an hour..." the staff gave an approximate figure.

In other words, on this ghost ship wandering in the sea, you have to wait at least an hour for the police to arrive.

"Then let's search the cabin first, okay, Mr. Sleeping Vampire?"

"Oh, okay..." Mouri Kogoro was stunned for a moment before realizing that the other party was talking to him.

Everyone had heard the name of the sleeping Kogoro Mori, and when they saw that he was about to enter the cabin to search, they all followed him.

Coupled with the threat of the hidden murderer, soon, only the transparent man and the faceless man were left on the deck.

The transparent man carefully checked whether there were any clues on the deck, and quickly found something that concerned him, which were some rather inconspicuous glass shards.

He glanced at the faceless man who said nothing, climbed up from the net tied to the mast to where the undead captain was standing, and unexpectedly saw the legs of a big rooster tied with strings to the mast.

This big rooster was standing on the mast and shivering because of the height. When it saw someone appearing in front of it, it flapped its wings excitedly and made a high-pitched cry:

"Goo!"

It seems to be telling the creature in front of it to save it quickly.

It's so high here, I'm scared to death!

"It's so embarrassing...you have wings after all, okay..."

Seeing the chicken, the transparent man showed a smile, climbed up the mast in twos and twos, and looked at the faceless man below.

"I already know who the murderer is. Mr. Yuan, you should have deduced it too, right?"

The transparent man held the chicken in his hand and raised it towards the faceless man.

The faceless man standing below shrugged, his lips opening and closing under the mask:

"Werewolf."

The sound that came out was actually a clear and sweet female voice!

When the transparent man on the mast heard this sound, his body trembled and he almost jumped off the mast in fear.

How could it be a woman?!



Haihara Ai was sitting in the basement of Dr. Ali's house, not daring to breathe a word, nervously paying attention to the movement above.

Yuan Huaiyu and Conan finally reached a consensus after some paper exchanges.

First of all, you have to go to that party, because if you just maintain this passive defensive status quo, it is not an option after all.

But knowing that the other party's main target is Huihara Ai, someone must protect her.

By chance, he met his mother, Kudo Yukiko, who had returned after she left, at his own home next to Dr. Agasa.

According to Kudo Yukiko, she was worried about the situation here, so when she took the plane back, she did not board the plane in the end, but quietly returned to Kudo's house and secretly observed the situation.

So Conan called Hattori Heiji who was far away in Kansai and asked Kudo Yukiko to make a double disguise for him.

The first layer of disguise is to dress Hattori Heiji as Kudo Shinichi - the most difficult part of this step is undoubtedly the skin color of the Osaka black chicken.

The second level is to turn this fake "Kudo Shinichi" into a transparent costume.

Yuan Huaiyu will go to that party with Hattori Heiji to have a duel with Belmode.

Conan himself also has a corresponding disguise.

He asked his mother, who was good at cross-dressing, to make him look like Haibara Ai.

He wears a mask specially developed by the doctor, which can not only cover his appearance, but also contact Hattori Heiji at any time through the microphone inside.

In addition, the mask also has a voice-changing function, which can help him perfectly dress up as Haibara Ai.

He just waited in the living room of Dr. Ali's house.

Then, as expected, a phone call came.

Conan answered the phone as Haibara Ai. The Shinde doctor on the other side of the phone said that because Haibara Ai was not getting better from her cold, he wanted to take her to a hospital with better equipment for another detailed examination.

If it is convenient, the new doctor will pick her up now and contact the doctor later.

Conan naturally agreed to the other party and sat on the sofa and waited.

Not long after, the doorbell rang. He changed his clothes and went to open the door.

But what appeared in front of him was not the new doctor, but the mysterious Teacher Judy!

"Sorry, I accidentally scared you... Doctor Xinchu's car broke down, so I came to pick you up on his behalf!"

Conan was silent for a while, then took off the door chain and walked into Judy's car.

Just a few seconds later, Dr. Shinde drove his car to the corner of the road in front of Dr. Ali's house, and saw "Haihara Ai" getting into another car and driving away.

And Haiyuan Ai, who was in the basement, heard the sound of the door opening and closing, and her nerves reached the limit.

She tiptoed up the stairs and came to the living room, only to find that there was no one there.

Gritting her teeth, she walked to the locker next to her and pulled out the spare pair of glasses that the doctor always kept at home.

During the discussion at that time, Edogawa Conan did not tell her that she would risk her life by following someone suspected of being Belmode!
