Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 323 Hang Up Button
Attracted by the gunshots, Ebina Minoru turned around and ran to the deck, and when he turned his head, he saw Jiang Xia leaning against the wall in the corridor, seemingly distracted.

Although he was a little strange, he didn't have the mood to ask questions at this time, and quickly crossed Jiang Xia to look for the gunshots.

After he left, the eyes of the dull-looking person behind him suddenly moved.

Jiang Xia left the wall and stood up straight, looked back at the back of Ebina Minoru, and followed with a complicated expression.

……

Next to the restaurant closer to the deck, Conan, Hattori Heiji, and Samezaki Shimaji, who returned to the restaurant after 0:[-], have already boarded the stairs leading to the deck.

They also heard "gunshots" outside.

The three of them came to the deck along the stairs and saw the flag hanging on the watchtower was burning.

In addition, not far from the feet, there is a banknote nailed to the ground with a knife. Two lines of sharp writing are engraved on the banknote:

[Sea god Poseidon gave me life, my shadow has been revived]
Jiang Xia stepped on the deck, just took a look from a distance, and suddenly felt a fat figure flashing beside him.He turned his head and found that it was Sadao Kei who was shy with a beer belly.

The "gunshot" just now was actually Sadao Jingai using a cigarette as a timing device to ignite the firecrackers set in advance.

At this time, Brother Jingjing, the black hand behind the scenes, took a closer look at the banknotes he personally pinned on the ground, and his handwritten words on the banknotes, showing horror, and howling: "It's him! Ye Caisan is indeed still alive , help, help——!”

This line was too suspicious, and everyone on the boat looked at him with strange eyes.

But without waiting for further questioning, the timing device arranged in another place just started. On the deck at the stern, there was a loud explosion, followed by billowing smoke.

……

What blew up was the box used to hold the emergency escape ladder.

A group of people hurriedly approached, and through the dancing flames, they saw a faint figure in the burning box.

Looking at the flames of the explosion and the charred corpse in the fire, Jiang Xia suddenly realized that this seemed to be a good reason to hang up.

Just as he was thinking, he saw Conan and Hattori Heiji who were rushing forward and whispered a few words, then looked around.

In the end, the eyes of both of them stopped on him together, showing expressions of a little surprise and a little relief.

Judging from the eavesdropping information passed on from Xiaobai, these two people seem to be very pleased that Jiang Xia was not the first one to be silenced because he solved the case too quickly in the past.

Jiang Xia: "..."

He didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but now that two people said that, he suddenly felt that he had lost a fortune.

Next to him, Sadao Jingi, who was laughing inwardly, suddenly felt his hair stand on end.

He suddenly turned his head and looked around, and found that the Tokyo detective next to him looked at him for some reason, with deep eyes that made people puzzled.

……

The fire was gradually extinguished.

The watch on the hand of the charred corpse, and some plastic surgery materials on the face that were burnt out of shape appeared in front of everyone.Someone identified the watch as belonging to a passenger named Hisashi Kanie.

A group of people got together to observe the corpse, and began to check the alibi of everyone on the boat. After a row, Isogai suddenly remembered a person.

She rested her chin and said: "In addition to the two guests who hid in the cabin and never showed up, there is actually one person who lacks an alibi--Mr. Kameda said that he was seasick at the beginning of the dinner. One step back into the room, and I haven't seen him since."

...Actually, you just saw that charred corpse.While thinking about it boredly, Jiang Xia glanced at the two classmates who were concentrating on arguing about the case.I couldn't help but think that if Mao Lilan was on the boat now, she might have already developed rich associations about the explosion and the charred corpse, and she took the initiative to ask Jiang Xia if he wanted to go back to the room to rest, so that he could hang up the phone more reasonably.

Sure enough, you will know how to cherish it when you lose it. 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 Mao Li, and just thinking about it, the two detectives who were arguing at the table suddenly turned to He: "What do you think is the situation?"

Jiang Xia: "...?"

The three looked at each other for a moment, and Jiang Xia gradually realized that Hattori Heiji and Conan seemed to disagree, so he was asking his opinion.

However, he didn't listen to the lecture just now, and the ghosts were not interested in these, and they didn't listen to anything.

Just when Jiang Xia hesitated for a moment, trying to say "nothing is right", Conan suddenly thought of the explosion and the charred corpse before, and realized that the reference book might not be online today - he remembered that every time Jiang Xia encountered similar things , they will all seem to be blocked by reasoning... no, they will all think of the past, and their thinking will become sluggish.

This made Conan suddenly 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, it might lead to other people being killed.

In any case, since the truth is not yet known, it is necessary to find evidence.

The two quickly got up and left.

Jiang Xia didn't go with them, seeing Ebino Minoru also went back to the room.He leaned back in his chair, letting Shikigami and puppet follow.

……

Ebina Minoru returned to his empty room, sat on a chair, looked at the bomb in the middle of the room, and silently closed his eyes.

The explosion just now and the money stuck on the ground made him feel that Ye Caisan and his accomplices must be on board.

In other words, his plan to perish together can be implemented.

Just thinking about what it would be like to be killed by a bomb, at this moment, Ebina Minoru heard a slight noise in front of his eyes—the heavy bomb bag was picked up from the ground, and the strap made a sound of being stretched .

Minoru Ebina was taken aback, and suddenly opened his eyes.In the middle of the room, a woman in a black dress nodded slightly at him, walked to the door with his bag, unscrewed the locked door, and walked out naturally.

"...?"

How did this man get in?Am I in the wrong room?Wait whose room is this? ...my bomb! !

A series of thoughts flashed through, Ebina Minoru jumped up from the stool, and quickly chased out the door.

At the end of the corridor, the figure of the person who snatched his bomb was reflected. The "robber" walked at a leisurely pace, but Ebino Minoru found that no matter how he chased him, he seemed to be a short distance away, which gave him the illusion that the opposite side was floating for a moment. When he recovered, the two had already to the deck.

In the night, the sea breeze was blowing in the face, and Ebina Minoru watched helplessly as the woman raised her hand, and the heavy bomb box drew an arc, and was thrown flying tens of meters, and finally it smashed into the sea. The splash of water quickly sank without a trace.

Jiang Xia heard a few ghosts screaming in surprise.
