Ming Ke: When the villain accidentally mixes into the protagonist group

"Miss!" the old man exclaimed.

The white walls were covered with spurting drops of blood. A sturdy man wearing a leopard mask was punching the thin man lying on the ground again and again. The dull sound of the blows was particularly loud in the quiet stairwell. Every punch splashed bright red blood, like a blooming red spider lily.

Shuichi Akai pulled Mingyue behind him and looked at the incident in front of him in astonishment. He could basically conclude that the man lying on the ground had stopped breathing, and the jackal mask that rolled to the side was stained with blood. Shuichi Akai was very sure that the two people had dinner in the buffet restaurant on the ninth floor, but what happened? Why didn't anyone stop it?

Looking around the crowd, most people were watching the tragedy indifferently, as if they were used to it. A few people licked their lips with excitement in their eyes. Few people showed expressions of fear and terror.

Akai Shuichi glanced at Mingyue who poked his head out from behind him with a calm expression.

Mingyue noticed the gaze and looked up at Akai Shuichi.

The two people's eyes collided in the air.

You should act a little more scared. Akai Shuichi tried to convey a message to Mingyue with his eyes.

Mingyue was a little confused and tried to interpret the meaning of Akai Shuichi's eyes: If you get too close, blood will splash on your clothes?

Tilting his head, Mingyue felt that he had guessed right. After all, Akai Shuichi's ability to handle housework was very average. If his clothes got dirty, he would find it troublesome. So he made an OK gesture, indicating that he would stay away from the range of blood splattering and would not get his clothes dirty.

Shuichi Akai felt a headache and felt that Mingyue was calmer at this moment than before.

More people gathered from afar, including Kogoro Mouri, who came running over after hearing the sound. He looked at everything in front of him in shock, amazed at the indifference of people around him.

But as a former detective, Kogoro Mouri couldn't just sit there and watch. He tried to push through the crowd and squeeze in. Just as he was about to shout "Make way", his mouth was covered tightly and the words that were about to come out were suppressed back into his stomach.

Fake Princess Eri noticed that Maori Kogoro was going to cause trouble, so she grabbed Maori Kogoro who was trying to squeeze into the crowd, covered his mouth tightly with her hand, put her mouth close to Maori Kogoro's ear, and whispered threateningly: "You'd better not meddle in other people's business."

Kogoro Mori glanced at the fake Eri, and seeing the fierce look in her eyes, he had to give up.

Bourbon and Scotland, who came upon hearing the noise, hid in the crowd and saw Mingyue and Lei in the elevator.

bang bang bang...

It is the dull sound of a fist hitting an object.

More and more people gathered around, but no one was willing to step forward to stop this tragedy from happening. The burly men wearing blank masks still stood there, as if they could not see the murder that was happening.

The leopard man waved his fists excitedly, as if he was performing a show. The people around him were like spectators, admiring and commenting on the actor's every move.

"Please allow us not to attend this cocktail party. My young lady can't stand such stimulation." The old man wearing a Dalmatian mask hugged Ooka Momiji in his arms and said to Zhuozi in a very apologetic tone.

Zhuozi glanced at the unconscious Ooka Hongye, nodded in agreement to her request, and slowly walked out of the elevator.

"Do you want to go back to your room too?" Akai Shuichi suggested. He noticed Bourbon and Scotland mixed in the crowd.

Mingyue glanced at Akai Shuichi and followed Zhuozi out of the elevator.

Akai Shuichi sighed helplessly. He really couldn't get Mingyue out of the way. After Akai Shuichi walked out of the elevator, the elevator door closed quickly.

Mingyue looked up at the numbers that kept jumping on the display screen, frowned slightly, and glanced at the thin man lying on the ground. Without the mask, a distorted and terrified face appeared in front of Mingyue.

Akai Shuichi glanced at Scotland, who was unhappy in the crowd, and guessed what he was thinking. He was quite helpless. If possible, he didn't want Mingyue to appear here. But the situation had developed to this point, so he took a half step forward and stood in front of Mingyue, alert to the possible dangers around him.

Bourbon looked at the burly men wearing blank masks, his chin in his hand, thinking.

"Sir." Zhuo Zi walked to the sturdy man who was waving his fist, stretched out a hand and tightly grasped the fist that was about to hit him, "The welcome reception is about to begin, please don't continue this meaningless action."

The sturdy man whose fist was caught was very dissatisfied and wanted to pull his fist back, but he found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break through the shackles. He could only roar: "Let go!"

Zhuo Zi firmly grasped the strong man's hand and said calmly: "Sir, I don't want to say it again."

"Bitch, you won't let go, right?" The sturdy man swung his blood-stained fist towards Zhuo Zi.

Zhuo Zi slightly tilted his body to avoid the strong man's attack, and then Zhuo Zi kicked the strong man in the lower body.

The sturdy man felt pain and took two steps back. The half of his face that was exposed turned the color of liver.

"You stinky bitch! I'm going to kill you!" The sturdy man swung his hammer-like fist again and attacked Zhuo Zi.

However, Zhuo Zi kicked the sturdy man hard in the stomach, causing the sturdy man to retreat repeatedly.

boom!

The sturdy man's back hit the wall with a loud noise, and the crowd who were originally watching quickly moved away, leaving a space.

Mingyue wanted to watch the fight between the two sides, but was picked up by Akai Shuichi and quickly walked away.

"You seemed to have promised not to treat me like this." Mingyue Banyue looked at Akai Shuichi and said with great dissatisfaction.

"Sorry, we have to make decisions in an emergency." Shuichi Akai observed the situation around him, wondering whether he should go and meet Scotland now. What was happening now was somewhat beyond his expectations.

boom!

The burly man hit the wall again, and this time the sound was even louder than last time. The violent impact knocked off the leopard mask on his face, revealing his original face.

Mingyue recognized at a glance that the burly man was Andrei Chikatilo, known as the "Butcher of Rostov". Due to his violent character and self-righteousness, the organization gave up on recruiting him, deciding that he was an existence that did not need to be dealt with as long as he did not affect the organization.

Three bottles of whiskey secretly memorized the appearance of this strong man.

Seeing the chaos, Maori Kogoro took the opportunity to shake off the arm of the fake Princess Eri, and ran to the stairwell. He wanted to go to the third floor where there was a satellite phone, maybe he could meet Naoko, who had just separated from him, and ask her to call the police, or ask her to drive the cruise ship back to Tokyo Port. After such a vicious incident, it should not be able to continue sailing.

"Where are you going?!" Fake Eri Kiss immediately grabbed Kogoro Mori and looked around vigilantly.

Maori Kogoro frowned, thinking of a strategy quickly in his mind, and tried to say in a calm tone: "There shouldn't be anyone calling on the third floor now. I want to hear Xiaolan's voice."

"Oh, you don't want to call the police, do you?" Fake Princess Eri sneered, "You'd better give up this idea, otherwise I can't guarantee the life and death of your wife and daughter."

Maori Kogoro took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and tried to calm himself down. "You don't have any communication equipment to contact the outside world. Your accomplices should not know what happened on this cruise ship."

"It seems that you know nothing about the people around you." Fake Princess Eri pulled Maori Kogoro away from the crowd and said in a low voice, "Do you know who the dead person is?"

"How do I know who he is?"

"I don't know his real name, but I know he is an internationally famous thief, a man called 'Quick Hands' by the cops, who specializes in stealing diamonds." The fake Eri looked at the skinny man lying on the ground with twisted limbs with a look of regret.

Kogoro Mori widened his eyes. He had read a report about the Antwerp diamond robbery in the newspaper. 160 of the 123 safes in the vault were opened without triggering any alarm devices and without leaving any signs of entry. It could be said that they came and went without a trace.

Fake Princess Eri looked at the sturdy man who got up from the ground and rushed towards Zhuozi again, "That..." Before Fake Princess Eri finished her words, she saw the sturdy man being kicked away again, this time hitting the glass, and then the sound of glass breaking was heard.

What followed was a shout that spread from near to far and the sound of endless waves that passed through the broken windows and reached everyone's ears.

Pfft!

Curious onlookers gathered around the window, and some even stuck their heads out of the broken window and looked down.

The strong man created white waves on the black waves. He waved his hands, trying to grab the side of the ship and climb onto the cruise ship, but the waves pushed him away and the cruise ship did not slow down because of his fall into the sea.

Those with sharp eyes saw dark gray triangular fish fins emerging from the sea not far away.

"There's a shark!"

After hearing this, the strong man floating on the sea turned around and looked behind him, shouting in fear: "Save me! Save me!"

However, how could the shark, smelling the blood, give up the food so close to it? It opened its mouth wide, revealing its triangular fangs...

The screams gradually weakened and were eventually drowned out by the sound of the waves.

There was no trace of the strong man on the inky sea anymore. A brutal and crazy killer ended his life. No one felt sorry for him, but everyone was wary of the woman who was bending over to polish her shoes.

Zhuozi threw the wet tissue used to wipe her shoes into the trash can, took the handkerchief handed to her and wiped the blood off her hands with elegant and skillful movements.

Two burly men in blank masks carried the twisted corpse away. Several waiters with cleaning tools quickly stepped forward to clean up the bloodstains. Yellow warning tape was drawn around the broken window, and several workers in blank masks came over carrying a new piece of glass.

Everything was in perfect order, as if it had been done a hundred times before.

Zhuozi looked around and found that Miss Gray Rabbit was taken to a safe corner by Mr. Black Wolf. The corners of his mouth under the mask curled up slightly, and his green eyes swept over everyone. He threw the dirty handkerchief stained with blood into the trash can and said to everyone present in a gentle voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this cocktail party. I wish you all a good time at the cocktail party."

As Zhuo Zi's voice fell, a group of bunny girls wearing blank masks came in one after another, holding drinks or food in their hands, and moving among the crowd.

In the distance, a band began to play improvisation, and the lights became dreamy along with the music.

However, the smell of blood in the air and the sound of waves in their ears were all reminding everyone that two people had died here.

A bunny girl walked up to Mingyue and bent over to hand her a tray with various drinks on it. "These are non-alcoholic. Which one do you want, Miss Gray Rabbit?"

"Are these all prepared for me?" Mingyue grinned.

The bunny girl nodded vigorously, "Of course."

Shuichi Akai recognized that this bunny girl was the one who spoke to him in the dark room, and he couldn't help but become alert.

In the distance, Scotland and Bourbon were also wary of their surroundings, trying to figure out the true identity hidden behind each mask.

Fake Princess Eri casually took a bottle of wine from the bunny girl's tray and took a sip. "It's strange, why did they invite a detective like you?"

"It's because you want to steal the gems." Maori Kogoro's eyes wandered over the bunny girl, but his heart was concerned about Kisaki Eri and Xiaolan. "Now go to the third floor and make a phone call."

"Just wait till the party is over."

Kogoro Mori took a sip of the high-end liquor that he couldn't normally drink, but he had no intention of savoring the flavor. Instead, his eyes swept across the entrance of the venue, where there were many burly men standing.

Suddenly the music stopped, and everyone saw Naoko Beeping pushing a wheelchair to the venue. Sitting in the wheelchair was a young man wearing a golden half-face mask.

"Originally, this welcome reception was supposed to be hosted by my father, but due to his illness, I have to host it instead. I was seriously injured in my leg some time ago and cannot get up. I hope you can understand." Daqi, wearing a golden mask, raised his glass, "I hope everyone can have a good time on Augus."

Everyone raised their glasses and the scene seemed peaceful.

Da Qi took a sip of wine and continued, "At this moment, on behalf of my father, I would like to announce to everyone an important piece of news concerning you all."

The entire venue suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"My father feels that he is already in his twilight years, and he doesn't have much time left. Now is the time to repay his gratitude. We will hold a series of games on the cruise ship to compete for a winner. The final winner can propose a condition to my father, and as long as my father can fulfill it, he will definitely agree to it."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience almost boiled over.

The corners of Daqi's mouth curled up as he sat in a wheelchair, indicating that he was in a very good mood at the moment.

"Even if he wants all your assets, will the old man agree?" someone questioned.

Da Qi calmly replied, "Yes, but the prerequisite is that you must win first. My father will only agree to the strongest one among you."

"Are there any rules?" A sweet female voice sounded. Everyone looked over and saw a fat man with a beard and a monkey mask. The man still said in a sweet voice, "If we're competing in strength, I can't beat those stubborn men."

"Are you a man or a woman?" The man wearing the raccoon mask was disgusted. Goose bumps appeared on his arms. He looked at the long-haired man wearing the black wolf mask and curled his lips. "And the long-haired one over there, are you a man or a woman?"

Shuichi Akai naturally noticed everyone's gazes on him, but he just frowned slightly in dissatisfaction.

The man wearing the mouse mask pointed at the raccoon man and said in an unpleasant voice like a drake, "How can you speak to Lady Lily like that!"

The raccoon man looked at the fat man wearing the monkey mask, his eyes full of inquiry.

"If you look at me again, I will dig out your eyes." The sweet voice sounded again...
