"Yes, and besides him, the other two...another passenger who didn't come to the restaurant was also a little suspicious. We asked the waiter on the way here, and he said there was no room service. It's very unreasonable to hide in the room during dinner time.
.”
To be fair, Conan actually thought Jiang Xia was suspicious. But after thinking about it carefully, Jiang Xia seemed to have the habit of just leaning on any corner to catch up on her sleep when she had free time, so he also felt that Jiang Xia overslept and forgot about dinner, which seemed to make sense.
Jiang Xia sighed thoughtfully.
He knew that among the three so-called "passengers resting in the cabin", one of them was "Ye Zaizan" pretended by Whalei Sadao, and the other was an anonymous puppet that had been disbanded. None of them existed, and only Jiang Xia was a real creature.
Of course, these things cannot be said to the two detectives.
Jiang Xia went with the two of them and knocked on the anonymous door, but no one opened it. They returned to the restaurant.
Sitting in the restaurant were two robbers and a bank employee who brought a bomb on board. In addition, Ye Caisan's daughter was also there.
Jiang Xia's eyes stopped on the leg of kidnapper No. 1 Sadao Whalei, and when he saw a fresh ghost holding it there, he knew that the remaining kidnapper had been invited by Sadao Whalei to go out and kill him.
The serial murder case has begun, and Jiang Xia no longer has to worry about surprising Sadao Whalei with his appearance.
He looked at the bank clerk who was full of murderous aura again, and was about to choose a place to sit closest to the murderous aura. At this time, Ye Caisan's daughter looked at them, held a box of cards, and came over boredly:
"Playing cards?"
Jiang Xia glanced at her and felt that her eyes were wandering and her concentration was not very focused.
He took the poker from Isogai Nagisa's hand and casually said, "You seem nervous?"
Hattori Heiji and Conan's ears twitched, they looked away and looked over at the same time.
Isogai Nagisa laughed softly, and took out another box of cards from nowhere. While she cut and shuffled the cards skillfully, she said with a slightly erratic voice: "Nervous? A little bit indeed. The sea is a very scary place.
Especially the lightless sea at night, which can cover up painful memories, an uneasy future, and even... corpses."
This inexplicable and weird line made the two detectives look at her with gradually sharp eyes.
This does not include Jiangxia.
In his eyes, Isogai Nagisa is a rare person on the ship who does not have murderous intentions. Compared with other passengers who have their own thoughts, she just wants to get on the ship to find someone - Ye Caizan has been missing ever since, although Isogai Nagisa always said
I lost my father, but I still have a little hope in my heart. I feel that if it passes 0 o'clock and the prosecution period is over, if Ye Caisan is really on the boat, he should come out to meet her.
Jiang Xia withdrew his gaze and began to look forward to 0 o'clock.
…
Isogai Nagisa quickly shuffled the cards and called several other passengers in the restaurant, and a group of people gathered around to play poker.
Jiang Xia was distracted for a while by the murderous people lingering around him. Fortunately, this had no impact on the card game - Mao Lilan was not here today, and almost all the good cards were in his hand.
After playing a few rounds and coming to his senses, Jiang Xia already had a pile of jelly beans on hand to serve as chips.
The others stared at him with complicated eyes.
Hattori Hei counted the number of people playing cards together and looked at the messy pile of cards on the table. He couldn't help but ask: "Have you been counting cards in your mind?"
Nagisa Isogai held a handful of bad cards with her slender fingers. She sighed tiredly, but she was a little envious: "This has nothing to do with mental arithmetic. The cards he took, anyone can produce this effect."
"No, I want to say whether he calculated the position of each card when shuffling the cards..."
Hattori Heiji was silent as he spoke, feeling that this speculation was not reasonable - Jiangxia was not responsible for shuffling the cards in every hand, and the order of drawing cards was also regulated, so he could not get specific cards in this way.
So Jiang Xia cheated?
Or is this guy actually a European emperor?
... Cheating shouldn't be the case, it's just a recreational game, and if it's the latter... Hattori Heiji suddenly understood: No wonder it's hard to avoid him every time. Even if no one stabs him in the back, it's always because
He bumped into Jiang Xia for various reasons. Wait, on the other hand, doesn't this mean that he is extremely unlucky?
Hattori Heiji fell into deep thought.
And gradually became a little autistic.
…
Whalei Sadao, Ebina Minoru and Kanie Hisashi are also uncomfortable. Although this is a pure game without the smell of copper, no one likes to lose from beginning to end.
Therefore, as soon as 0 o'clock passed, a group of people immediately made various excuses and left one after another.
Jiang Xia glanced at Ebina Mingmin's murderous back, and followed him on the pretext of going to the bathroom.
He remembered that Ebina Minoru's luggage bag contained a time bomb that could sink an entire ship.
Before dinner, Jiang Xia's body was waiting in the room. When his consciousness was drifting around on the ghost, he once drifted into Ebina Minoru's room, put his head into the bomb bag, and briefly checked the structure.
He found that this bomb had a lot of anti-dismantling designs, and it was also very shockproof.
The former was probably because he was worried about being secretly demolished and interrupting the plan. The latter was a guarantee of safety - if Ebina Minu didn't find the robbers on the ship, he would throw the bomb into the sea.
In short, 99% of Ebina Minoru's murderous weapons depended on this box of bombs.
So if you want to make him lose his murderous aura, it is actually very simple: just throw the bomb box into the sea in front of him, and you will definitely harvest a batch of murderous aura first. This process only takes a few minutes.
Afterwards, if Ebina Menu's hatred is enough, he may go through some mental adjustments and decide to kill the robbers with his own hands. Then he will have a little murderous intention again. Then as long as the robbers die or are captured without mercy, he will be able to
Harvest the second crop...
Jiang Xia entered the corridor, and countless shikigami invisible to ordinary people flew out from under his feet, passed over Ebina Menu, floated into his room along the crack in the door, and continued to stack up as raw materials for puppets.
Miyano Akemi's soul also floated in, melted into the puppet, and became anonymous.
Jiang Xia planned to surprise Ebina Minami by picking up the box and leaving in front of him when he opened the door.
But just when Ebina Minoru stopped at the door to look for the key, a "bang" sound of firecrackers suddenly sounded on the deck across the wall.
Of course, since it was also a gunpowder explosion, to someone who didn't know the situation, it could also be a gunshot.
Apparently the "gunshot" brought back some bad memories to Ebina Minoru.
The man, who was no longer young, was startled, then turned around at a speed that was inappropriate for his age and rushed towards the place where the gunfire came from, as if he wanted to immediately confirm the identity of the shooter.
At the same time, the door lock of his room clicked and twisted, opening a crack.
In the crack of the door, the puppet looked at the empty corridor, remained silent for a moment, and then closed the door as if nothing had happened.
