Can you avoid Conan's anesthetic needle today?

Chapter 18 18. Cruise Ship on the Sea 7 (End)

"Because of the swimsuit..."

Conan answered in the voice of Rina Yonogi, "Maybe he didn't know how to kill with one blow, or maybe he was too emotional when he killed someone. He used many knives to kill someone. There was blood splattered everywhere in the house. It was hard for the murderer to avoid getting blood on his body. Even if his clothes could be thrown into the sea, the blood on his body had to be dealt with."

"So, the only person on the boat who had swum and had obvious signs of showering is naturally the biggest suspect from the beginning. The others did not shower or change clothes. Although they could have done it if they had some props to wrap themselves up, it would be too difficult given the amount of blood at the scene. In addition, this case was obviously premeditated in a very short period of time, so the possibility that the murderer had the right props is too low."

"And when I stand in Miss Sakuragawa's perspective and try to reconstruct what happened between you, some subtle lies are hard to hide." Edogawa Conan continued his reasoning process, "The deceased was with Miss Shiraha last night, and he tried to hide it from Miss Sakuragawa, so the so-called photos he took at night were taken by another person. Then I think about Mr. Nakamura mentioning when he was chatting with Conan that the minister's photography work won an award, and his level was very poor, but when he was teaching Conan photography, it was obvious that he loved photography very much, and his level was not very poor. He and the deceased were using the same camera, so the deceased could easily replace his work. After Conan went to see his camera and found the so-called photos taken by the deceased last night, he admitted everything."

"Then, it is obvious that Shirasa Miyu, Nakamura Kaku, and Fujimiya Yuki were all coerced by the deceased, so there is something missing at the scene. After confirming Miss Sakuragawa's modus operandi, we only need to verify that she took this thing, and we can convict her."

"These are the things that Amase uses to threaten people, right? Why doesn't he just throw them away?" Nakamura Kaku asked anxiously. He hoped that those things would disappear completely with the death of that guy.

"Because there are not only things that Amase Shohei uses to threaten others, but also the protection he left for himself. Mr. Matsubara, guess what it is!"

Matsubara Hidenori smiled unnaturally, "I don't quite understand why you're asking me this. I don't know anything, so how can I guess?"

"Of course it's your evidence! Matsubara Hidenori!" Edogawa Conan raised his voice, "Sakuragawa Yoshizuki found evidence that Amasa Masahei was helping you, and hoped that it would free Shirasa Miyu. And Amasa Masahei was secretly looking for someone who could threaten him today, and I guess you don't know all this yet. Although I still don't know what this empty yacht and all the bodyguards on the boat did on this trip with you, there is no doubt that you are the one standing behind Amasa Masahei to help him blackmail and threaten others!"

Hidenori Matsubara didn't know what the thing the detective was talking about was, but if it was convenient for Shohei Amase to carry with him, it should be something like a USB flash drive. This was also the evidence of the murder case, so it must be with the detective.

She was still unsure, and she must not have seen it. If she just snatched it away and destroyed it, what good would it do even if the detective could deduce it? Without evidence, there would be nothing...

No... "How could there be no!" The young man who was stopped by Officer Megure tore off his mask. He knew what he had done and there was no way he could be caught by the police.

"It's useless, Mr. Matsubara. I didn't have time to see that thing, but when we were performing this reasoning show, the new police officer from the Reasoning Section 4 should have seen it. If it's fast, your yacht will have been searched. Don't expect your bodyguards to fight against the police. Considering the number of people who came from the beginning, they can be controlled." Edogawa Conan's figure hiding behind Yonogi Rina was short, but the power of his words was undiminished.

"When you were so absorbed in playing the role of a passionate young man and playing the game of pure love, you were completely unaware of what the other people on the boat were doing! How much evidence of your crimes are there on this yacht? Just surrender, Song Yuan Xiu!"

Matsubara Hidenori, who was restrained by Megure, probably understood his bleak future, and his legs went weak and he fell to his knees.

……

When Yonogi Rina woke up, a police officer with two mustaches on his lips, who was probably pretending to be calm but looked younger than her, knocked on the door of the room. "Inspector Megure, thank you for your hard work. We have confirmed that Hidenori Matsubara has violated the law. Section 4 will take over the follow-up work of Hidenori Matsubara's case."

Hidenori Matsubara? Illegal?

The murderer is not... Rina Yonogi turned her eyes to Sakuragawa Yoshizuki and found that she was also handcuffed. That's right, she is the murderer.

The police officer who came seemed to be talking about Lesson 4, which is the lesson about dealing with some gang organization?

Oh, I understand now. I also found out that they are gangsters...

"Aunt Rina, you are so amazing. Not only did you find out the murderer, but you also found out that Hidenori Matsubara really committed a crime!" Hiran also heard the police officer's words, which confirmed that Rina Yoshinoki's previous series of reasonings were accurate, and she admired Rina Yoshinoki even more.

Edogawa Conan sat on the ground and smiled proudly. Although he heard Xiaolan praising someone else, these were all his inferences!

Wait, Rina Yonogi finally realized why the little detective had obtained so much information in such a short time. It really was the essence that was concentrated...

……

“Aunt Lina, are you too tired to reason? You just said this…”

As the protagonist of the transcript, Rina Yonogi sat between Xiaolan and Conan like a salted fish, listening to the girl who was full of admiration as she helped her fill in the bugs caused by the substitute and recounted the case.

When it comes to the details of the reasoning, Conan is even more dramatic and answers more excitedly than Xiaolan.

Only Yonogi Rina does almost nothing...

It’s not like there’s nothing to do… Rina Yonoki rubbed her waist again and moved her neck.

I sat with my head down for a long time while reasoning. The record was asked in detail, and I had to sit here for an endless period of time. It was as if I was back to the days when I was in school, rushing to finish homework, or working overtime, those endless days of sitting until I was stiff. My waist, back, shoulders and neck were all accompanied by discomfort.

Rina Yonogi thought unwillingly that although she was not going to tell Conan that she knew his identity, she couldn't just let him take over for her like this. She couldn't find a job that didn't require overtime and end up getting cervical spondylosis from a needle!

But the little detective is hard to guard against with this anesthetic needle...

I don't think it's possible to expect to figure it out first...

As expected! I'd better stay away from him!

If you can't afford to offend me, can't you just hide from me?

I have finally finished writing about this case. If there are no comments, I might start to mumble later...
