The short-haired woman who just spoke was actually Ye Caisan's daughter. She didn't believe that Ye Caisan was dead. Suddenly she saw an advertisement for "Gudachuan" in the newspaper, so she got on the boat to look for clues.
Listening to her popular science, Hattori Heiji gradually got an impression of the "Shadow Planner". He remembered hearing about this person from Hattori Heizo a long time ago.
Almost at the same time, a man with frosty white hair and deep nasolabial folds at the next table came to his senses from the news that "Ye Caisan is on the boat." He stood up suddenly and asked the waiter sternly: "Where is Ye Caisan's room?"
?”
The waiter was startled: "...in room 1."
Samezaki Shimaharu pushed away the dining chair, turned around and rushed to the guest room - he was the father of the bank employee who unfortunately died in the robbery, and he was also one of the police officers in charge of the case.
Today happens to be the 20th anniversary of the "400 million bank robbery". If Ye Caisan can be caught before 0 o'clock, the gang will be able to spit out the money they robbed and pay some price for what happened back then.
Although Hattori Heiji and Conan were still a little confused, they reflexively chased after them.
The waiter hesitated for a moment and then followed him nervously.
As the four people ran away in a chaotic manner, the group of people in the restaurant who were somewhat related to "Ye Caisan" were silent for a moment, no longer in the mood to eat, and quickly dispersed.
Wutian Dog, who was hanging in the air as a monitor, looked around and quickly drifted towards Jiang Xia's room.
…
Room No. 1 was locked. Samezaki Shimaji knocked for a long time, but no one responded.
The waiter opened the door with the spare key and saw that the room was very empty. Not to mention people, there was no luggage.
Samezaki Shimaji punched the door angrily and quickly ran away, preparing to search the ship.
Hattori Heiji and Conan had already figured out the prosecution period and originally wanted to help.
But before leaving, the two of them passed by Room 2 with the closed door next door. They suddenly thought of something and stopped at the same time.
The two looked at each other and called to the waiter who had not gone far: "Is there anyone staying here?"
The waiter took out the registration book, looked at it, and nodded. At this time, he should have added, "It's Mr.
While the waiter was trying to read the words, Hattori Heiji and Conan's attention had completely shifted to Room 2.
——Although there is a lot of noise from the sea, Mr. Samezaki was banging the door and shouting in Room 1 next door just now. The people in Room 2 should be able to hear some noise, but now, the guests here
But he doesn't care about what's going on outside...
Suspicious, very suspicious.
Having said that, not going to the restaurant for dinner is itself a suspicious factor.
...Perhaps the person living here will be the mysterious client?
Hattori Heiji thought of this, stopped and started knocking on the door.
His intuition told him that there might be extremely important information hidden behind the door.
He frowned and knocked for more than ten seconds. When he was about to ask the waiter to help open the door, the door lock clicked.
Hattori Heiji perked up and looked at the open door.
A second later, his confident smile froze on his face.
...After a lot of hard work, he actually knocked out Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia seemed to have just woken up. She was arranging her uneven neckline with one hand and resting her other hand on the doorknob.
The two sides looked at each other, and Hattori Heiji couldn't control his expression: "...Why are you here?!"
At the same time, he subconsciously began to find the answer for himself: after he told Conan about the commission, he never separated from Conan until the ship sailed, so it could not be Conan who informed him.
In addition, Mao Lilan and Yuan Shanhe Ye can also be excluded - if they were the two who snitched, they must have boarded the ship together, but now, Jiang Xia is obviously the only one in the room. And the other two passengers, who are said to be resting in the room,
One is Ye Caisan, and the number of the remaining ones is wrong. It should not be them. In this case...
Could it be that Jiang Xia also received the same anonymous commission letter? Or...
Hattori Heiji thought of the Hattori Shizuka he met in the morning. In order to prevent backstabbing, he had only told Hattori Shizuka about the entrustment he had received.
It can't be what he thinks...
Under the gaze of Hattori Heiji, whose pupils were gradually shaking, Jiang Xia looked at him, then at Conan who subconsciously hid by the door, and said calmly: "I saw the advertisement in the newspaper and found it very interesting, so I came over to take a look.
"
Hattori Heiji was startled: "Newspaper?"
Jiang Xia was also startled: "You don't know?"
Seeing that Hattori Heiji was confused, he raised his hand and took the bag hanging on the hanger next to him, found the newspaper with the advertisement from the backpack, and handed it to Hattori Heiji.
Hattori Heiji glanced at it, and his first reaction was that he breathed a sigh of relief: Great, my mother didn't betray him.
...Speaking of which, if you think about it carefully, my mother actually doesn’t know Jiang Xia at all. Tsk, she has been stabbed in the back so many times that her thinking has become inertia.
Hattori Heiji pressed his forehead to calm his expression.
Then he glanced at Jiang Xia, who seemed to have just woken up, and held the doorknob as if nothing had happened. He closed the door and said, "Well, it's actually nothing. You continue to sleep, and we'll leave first..."
"What happened when you knocked on the door so urgently just now?" Jiang Xia also grabbed the edge of the door as if nothing had happened, stopping the door from closing. His eyes passed over Hattori Heiji and finally fell on Conan.
Hattori Heiji also turned his attention to Conan.
Conan, who received a double gaze: "..."
He paused for a moment and said in a chatty tone: "It seems that a wanted criminal has slipped into the ship."
"Is that so..." Jiang Xia straightened out her hair that had been messed up when she hung up, and walked out of the door under Hattori Heiji's slightly desperate look, "I can't sleep anyway, so I'll look for it with you."
Hattori Heiji looked at the back of Jiang Xia who naturally blended into the team: "..."
...He no longer knocks on doors in public places.
After all, no one knows what creature will come out of the door.
…
Although Hattori Heiji was quite critical of Eka joining his and Kudo's duo team.
But now that Jiang Xia has come, he typed it out himself. In the end, Hattori Heiji could only absorb the lesson in his heart while telling Jiang Xia about the past, with some of his own opinions:
"I always feel that the passengers on this ship are very suspicious - no matter how famous the thief is, he should not be so well-known after twenty years. But just now, except for the two of us, all the other guests in the restaurant knew him and were very fond of him.
The presence showed varying degrees of shock.”
Jiang Xia nodded and signaled that he was listening: "That's why you came here to see the mysterious 'Ye Caisan' and help capture him?"
