So far, everything Hattori Heiji knows about the Black Organization comes from Conan's dictation.
Therefore, he was actually more curious about this mysterious organization than afraid. Since Conan said so, Hattori Heiji did not stop him anymore.
Moreover, when solving a case, it is more interesting to have someone to think about and compare with each other than to solve the case alone.
While the two people were communicating, the fire in the box in front had also been put out.
A group of people inspected the body, dragged Wawai Sadao to the restaurant, and asked him about the specific situation. In fact, his behavior just now made it look like he knew a lot of inside information.
Whalei Sadao has his own script.
Although the retired police officer in front of him was fierce and scary, he still stood firm and continued to maintain an expression of "I'm scared and I know a lot" while saying "I don't know, I don't know anything."
Seeing that they couldn't ask anything for a while, Hattori Heiji and Conan left the restaurant and went to ask the crew nearby.
Then I learned that except for the passengers, all the crew members, including the captain, were working together and had perfect alibi.
These people sitting together in the restaurant also have alibis.
Therefore, the missing old man "Ye Caisan" and the other two people who have always been hiding in the room without showing up have become key suspects.
"Terukichi Kameda, and Isao Tanaka..." Looking at the passenger list provided by the crew, Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at each other, knowing that the "Isao Tanaka" behind was probably a pseudonym casually made up by "Bourbon".
When boarding the ship, the crew only registered their names - this is the same as check-in at some hotels. There is no need to show identification documents, and it is up to you to write your own name.
However, both of them also knew that although Bourbon had no alibi, he probably had little to do with this murder.
——What happened to Ye Caisan happened twenty years ago.
Judging from Bourbon's approximate age, he was at most in elementary school at that time, and possibly even in kindergarten.
Unless Ye Caisan is his father, or some other important relative... But this possibility is unlikely. There is no need to bring other members of the organization with Revenge. Since they are a group of two, they should be on official business, not revenge.
personal enmity.
Considering the bug and the current understanding of the organization members... Hattori Heiji and Conan were hesitant to come forward directly.
That way it would be easy for Bourbon to find out that the two were targeting him, and Bourbon might think that Conan has some evidence of his crime - I heard that these people are very good at suppressing people's voices, and the situation on the ship is so complicated now, so it's best to go first.
Don't mess with him.
Since Akai Shinji was still poking at the side, the two of them could not directly remind Officer Samezaki. They could only hint with their crazy eyes that they wanted him to take the lead in asking for Bourbon's alibi and other information.
The presence of a retired police officer who is dedicated to tracking down Ye Caisan will not make Bourbon feel "targeted" and make him think too much.
However, Officer Samezaki had his own ideas.
He also felt that the middle-aged Kameda Teruyoshi was more suspicious than the young man he had only met once when he boarded the ship, so he chose to go to Kameda Teruyoshi's room first.
The door to the room was closed, and several people gathered around the door, waiting for the crew to find the room key.
However, before finding the key, Hattori Heiji had nothing to do. With a click, the door opened - it was not locked.
Opening the door, you can see that there is no one in the room, only a luggage bag is placed next to it.
Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at the empty room and then at the door. They were suddenly startled and had a guess.
They immediately stopped thinking about urging Officer Samezaki to check Bourbon, and unanimously focused their attention on Ye Caisan's case, searching for traces on the ship according to their own ideas.
…
Shiraishi was sitting in the room when he heard someone at the door ignoring the sign "Please don't run in the corridor" and scurried past.
He looked at his watch, then looked through the gap in the curtains at the darkened sky outside, and felt that it was time to complete the task.
He remembered that in this case, when Hattori Heiji was looking for clues, he accidentally saw something extraordinary and was knocked into the sea by Xiao Hei... It was about this time.
The task of rescuing innocent people on the ship certainly included Hattori Heiji.
Shiraishi put away his laptop and went out in the dark.
…
A few minutes later, Hattori Heiji and Conan followed different routes and ran to the charred corpse at the stern of the ship at the same time.
The two of them each found some evidence, and then they began to explain their reasoning sentence by sentence.
Originally, they thought they could share half of the lines each, complete the reasoning tacitly, give the final answer at the same time, and then look at each other with a smile.
However, as they talked, both Hattori Heiji and Conan discovered that the other person was thinking differently from themselves.
No one is convinced by the other, and if you want to convince the other, you can only find more clues.
The two separated again and searched carefully.
At the same time, almost all the people gathered in the restaurant dispersed.
Although Officer Samezaki asked them not to wander around, a retired police officer did not have too strong a binding force.
Conan was walking on the boat, and his back was chilled by the sea breeze.
Although he felt that he had not been exposed yet, when he thought that the two organization members were on the ship, he was still worried that he would be taken away without anyone noticing.
The original plan was to follow Hattori Heiji all the time, so as to make the other party have some scruples, but just now he was so obsessed with solving the case that he accidentally forgot about this... When he finally thought about it, he found that Hattori Heiji had also forgotten about it, and he also became obsessed with solving the case.
Conan had no choice but to run back to the living room as quickly as possible, ask the waiter for information, and at the same time increase the number of people who witnessed him, so that it would be more difficult for others to attack him, and concentrate on fighting wits with the air.
…
On the other side, Hattori Heiji followed his own reasoning and borrowed a flashlight from the crew to look for any hidden places and find the murderer hiding there.
However, after searching around, I couldn't find anything suspicious.
He leaned on the railing and sighed. He originally wanted to change places and continue searching, but when he retracted his hand, the light beam of the flashlight flickered and suddenly illuminated a figure outside the hull.
Hattori Heiji was startled, and swung the lamppost back to the side again. After a closer look, he found that the person hanging outside was actually the long-lost Kanae Hisashi.
But different from his previous inference - Kaniejiu obviously did not take the initiative to hide there. The middle-aged man seemed to have lost consciousness and was tightly tied with a rope to the ladder hanging down the ship's hull.
Hattori Heiji stared at this scene, his scalp numb.
Of course he was not shocked by Kanie Hisashi's appearance, but the thrill of "suddenly discovering that the real murderer was someone else" was really refreshing.
Hattori Heiji's whole body tensed up, but it was still too late - there was a gust of wind behind him, and he turned around suddenly to see Sadao Whalei swinging a metal rod with a fierce expression and smashing it towards his head.
.
Hattori Heiji reluctantly raised the flashlight and blocked it.
At the moment of the collision, his jaw was numb, the flashlight was knocked out, and his whole body was knocked off the railing and fell into the sea, creating a huge splash.
Even though there was water below, the huge drop still caused Hattori Heiji to fall into confusion.
He pressed his forehead and vaguely saw the flashlight falling a few meters away. However, when he swam over, the beam of light had already sunk into the sea, and the surrounding area quickly became dim.
Hattori Heiji chased him down several meters, but failed and had to struggle to surface.
He couldn't think of a way to get back to the boat at the moment - the boat's hull was smooth and there were no points of strength. The hanging ladder looked very close, but in fact it was quite far away from the water.
Moreover, the surrounding water was so loud that not only could the cry for help not be transmitted to the cabin, but it might also be targeted by Sadao Whalei and shot with a gun.
It's late at night, and without a flashlight, there's no way to ask for help from a passing boat...
Hattori Heiji was feeling a little desperate when he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.
He raised his hand and touched it doubtfully, and then his expression turned horrified - at some point, a very thin steel rope was wrapped around his neck.
…Kawaii Sadao hasn’t given up on silence yet?
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, as the ship moved forward, the steel cable tightened suddenly with a force that could break his neck.
