The Split-Actress in Conan's World

"Where is his room?!" Samezaki Shimaji asked the waiter with a very ferocious expression and slammed the table and stood up.

The waiter was startled by his movement and said stutteringly: "In Room 1..."

Uncle Maori touched his chin, his eyes drifting towards the ceiling, as if recalling something: "The name Ye Sancai..."

"Idiot! Have you forgotten?" Samezaki Shimaji shouted at him, "That was the real culprit behind the 400 million yuan robbery that we were chasing together before - Shadow Planner Ye Sancai!"

After saying that, he rushed out of the restaurant angrily and ran towards the guest rooms.

Uncle Maori suddenly realized, "So that's it!"

Then he followed.

"It looks like something big is going to happen again." Lin Chiyu put down the half-eaten fried fish tail and wiped his mouth with a towel.

"So that Ye Sancai is a criminal?" Mao Lilan asked, seemingly understanding.

"Who knows." Rinshakuha watched Conan tiptoe around Mouri Ran's sight and ran out of the restaurant.

He waved to the waiter beside him and said, "It's better to prepare the keys for each room. It won't be long before they ask you to open the door."

After saying that, he stood up and walked in the direction where the others left.

When the waiter arrived at the door of the guest room with the key, he saw Samezaki Shimaharu banging on the door with a fierce look on his face.

Seeing the key coming, he stopped and pointed at the sturdy door and said, "Open the door quickly."

The door was quickly opened.

He rushed in first, but saw only an empty room.

"Damn it, all in vain! I'll go look for it down below, I'll trouble you up there, Mori!" Samezaki Shimaharu frowned and let out a breath, then immediately turned around and ran towards the cabin below.

"Ah? Okay..." Kogoro Mori looked at his back and raised his hand weakly in response.

"It's really true. I've been away from my job for almost ten years and I'm still being yelled at by my former boss."

He put his hands in his pockets and walked to the door of Room 2.

"What's the room next door?" he asked the crew member beside him.

"The detective's room."

Uncle Maori looked suspicious: "You stayed in the room as soon as you got on the ship. It seems suspicious."

He knocked on the door and shouted into the room: "Hey, is anyone there?"

"Open the door quickly!"

Seeing that there was no movement inside, he narrowed his eyes, stepped aside, and said to the crew member holding the key: "There is no way, it may be an empty room, you come and open it."

"Ok."

The crew member was about to go forward to open the door, but the door in front of him opened by itself.

"It's noisy!"

A male voice with an accent said impatiently, "What the hell are you doing?"

"Eh?" Hattori Heiji looked at Maori and others outside the door, confused, "Why are you here?"

"I just wanted to ask you something!" Uncle Maori looked at the young detective speechlessly.

After a discussion among several people, the general situation became clear.

"Shadow Planner?"

Hattori Heiji recalled carefully: "I think I did hear my father mention this person when I was a child."

Maori Kogoro's dusty memory finally became clear, and he introduced with a serious face: "His real name is Ye Sancai, and he is the real culprit behind the 20 million yen robbery years ago."

"Because his plans are tight and watertight, and his methods of committing crimes are often clean and neat, which makes the police run around in circles, he is called the 'shadow planner'."

"He has no fixed accomplices and is a lone ranger. His characteristic is that when he commits crimes, he does not harm anyone but only targets property."

"But in that case 20 years ago, he killed a bank clerk and disappeared after that."

Hattori Heiji nodded: "So this kind of person sleeps next to me?"

"Well, it's a pity that we came up empty-handed. Samezaki is now looking for him."

Uncle Maori's eyes narrowed slightly, "I don't know when this vigilant guy ran away from the room."

"I think someone may know when he came out of the room." Hattori Heiji thought for a while, and took them to Room No. 3 and knocked on the door.

At the same time, he explained to Mao Li and others: "Because I got on the ship early, I didn't see other people, so Ye Sancai should have been in the room at that time."

"Not long after me, the passenger living in room 3 arrived. I chatted with him for a while. He is a retired mercenary from the Middle East and has many interesting and exciting stories!"

He glanced at Conan with a grin, "I'm sure you'll be interested in him."

Not long after, the door opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man with short hair, dressed very decently and with the demeanor of a butler walked out.

"Brother Adam, this is Mr. Maori, a famous detective. Something has happened on the ship. Do you mind coming out to chat?" Hattori Heiji bared his big white teeth.

Adam looked around at everyone, then raised an eyebrow: "Of course."

Maori Kogoro pretended to clear his throat and said, "Excuse me, did you notice the passenger staying in room 1? When did he leave the room?"

"Sorry, I need to confirm. Are you saying that someone lives in Room 1 over there?" Adam asked in confusion, looking a little puzzled.

"Uh, isn't that so?" Uncle Maori was confused.

"I have to state in advance that due to the special nature of my previous job, my hearing is much more sensitive than the average person."

Adam pursed his lips, spread his hands, and pointed at Hattori Heiji beside him: "Everyone will make more or less sound during the course of life activities, such as breathing and heartbeat."

"It was because I heard the voice of this young man named Hattori that I knocked on his door to say hello to him."

"What I want to say is that since I boarded the ship, I have not noticed anyone in any room except Room 2."

"Are you sure you saw such a man board the ship?"

"Well, to be honest, I've never actually seen this person in person..." Kogoro Mori pondered.

Hattori Heiji also nodded: "In that case, I vaguely remember my father saying that the shadow planner should be dead."

“I heard that his shirt was found floating on the sea with bullet holes and blood stains on it.”

"No, he is not dead..." Samezaki Shimaji, who had run away earlier, came back at some point and spoke softly behind him.

"That must have been a trap used to throw off the police."

"He's not the kind of small character who will die easily."

He looked a little gloomy, but the corners of his lips curled up with excitement: "I thought he was proudly counting money now, but I didn't expect to meet him on this ship."

Uncle Maori looked at his obsession and couldn't help but say, "But the statute of limitations for that case expired five years ago. Even if we find him, it's gone."

"Although the statute of limitations for murder is 15 years, robbery is a civil case and the statute of limitations is 20 years. If we can find the person, we can recover the stolen money." Rin Chiyu reminded.

Samezaki Shimaji also nodded and said dully: "It's a pity that Ye Sancai's wanted warrant has expired, but the wanted warrants for other accomplices are still valid."

"If we catch Ye Sancai, we can get the whereabouts of the other accomplices from him and bring them all to justice!"

"Why don't we just contact the police in Ogasawara and ask them to come on board to search after we arrive?" Kogoro Mori gave a suggestion that seemed reliable.

"No, there's no time for that anymore." Samezaki Shimaji sighed.

"Didn't I tell you? Today is a special day."

"That robbery happened 20 years ago tomorrow... That means after 12: midnight today, they can say goodbye to their life on the run and live as they please with the money."

Uncle Maori quickly checked his watch, his eyes widened: "Doesn't that mean there are only two hours left?!"

They left in a hurry.

After everyone left, Adam looked at their backs with a puzzled look in his eyes.

He closed the door gently, sat back on the bed, took out his cell phone again and placed it beside him.

"Noah will tell the professor that Adam deliberately turned off his phone just to keep Noah from talking."

"It's just because someone is outside. It's not like you can't turn it on yourself." Adam reached under the pillow and took out the USP pistol that he had just hidden casually, and continued to check whether there was any problem with the barrel.

"Instead of reporting me, you might as well spend more time looking for that shadow planner. The boss is quite interested in him."

"Noah has already said that Ye Sancai undoubtedly died twenty years ago. There is no possibility of misjudgment, but stupid Adam wants Noah to continue making meaningless calculations."

"Nothing is absolute." Adam said lightly.

"In this world, resurrection from the dead is not a rare thing."

"By the way," he picked up his phone and opened his email, "the boss told us to keep an eye on those two people."

"It's understandable that a high school detective named Hattori Heiji would pay attention to this, but why would this kid who is in the first grade of elementary school pay attention to this?"

He was also observing them when he was facing questions from Mori and others. Hattori Heiji has a keen sense of observation and a good body balance. He seems to be a kendo master.

Although the more famous Kogoro Mori's skills seem to be pretty good, they have obviously declined due to his age. Overall, he is not as good as Hattori Heiji.

As for the elementary school student, although the boss specifically reminded him to be careful, Adam still didn't see anything fishy.

I only remember that when he looked at me, his eyes were a little creepy, but other than that he was just an ordinary child.

"Shh~~" Noah blew an electronic whistle as if nothing had happened.

Noah would not tell Adam Kudo Shinichi's identity.

It would be better to let Adam, the idiot, suffer a great loss.

......

"What a surprise! I didn't expect Hattori to like dolphins?" Mao Lilan picked up a cup of black tea and brought it to her mouth, then smiled at Hattori Heiji.

"Dolphin?" Hattori Heiji asked in confusion.

Mao Lilan was stunned. "Didn't you come to this ship because you saw the advertisement in the newspaper? It's called a sea trip with a chance to see dolphins."

"No, no, I took this ship because I received a strange letter."

"Strange letter?"

"Yes, someone sent me a letter a week ago, asking me to go to Ogasawara to handle a case. There was also 10 yen attached to the letter, which made me feel very strange."

Hattori Heiji took out the letter and said, "Look, the sender is written as 'Furukawa Dai', but there is no address, and the money attached to the letter is still old banknotes. The letter also said that I should show them the money when I arrive at the port, and they will let me on board."

"I have never accepted commissions for money. I always look for cases based on my own interests, so I just want to find the other party and return the money."

Conan laughed in his heart.

As expected of the son of the Osaka Metropolitan Police Department chief, he really treats money as dirt.

He's been in a very awkward situation lately because he has to feed Chiyo's mouth!

That guy was really merciless when it came to eating desserts. Thanks to him, Conan realized that desserts had so many varieties and they were not cheap!

"But there is a problem?" Conan suddenly thought of it and asked in confusion.

"Isn't the event only open to the first ten people who answer the puzzle correctly? Obviously, there are more than ten of us here, right?"

Hattori Heiji did the math in his mind.

The old policeman Samezaki Shimaharu, the fat man Kameda Terukichi, the bearded man Kanie Juku, the man with glasses Ebina Minoru, the businessman Kujirai Sadao, the short-haired woman Isogai Nagisa...

There were six people present in the restaurant.

The Maori family counts for two places.

Conan and Uncle Maori share the same guest room, so they only take up one spot.

Including him and Brother Lin, there are already ten people.

This does not include Brother Adam and Ye Sancai who has never shown up.

Lin Chiyu curled her lips and raised her hand, saying, "I bought the ticket myself."

Mao Lilan was surprised: "The ticket prices here are shockingly expensive!"

Conan also looked at him in surprise.

Hattori Heiji didn't care about the ticket price: "Even if we remove Rin-san, there are still eleven people, there is always one more."

"So that Ye Sancai should indeed not exist." Lin Chiyu thought about it and came to a conclusion.

"But Mr. Kujirai clearly said that he met the old man in the corridor? And the crew also registered that person."

Mao Lilan was very confused.

"This is what we need to figure out." Lin Chiyu stood up and walked towards the hall where he registered when he boarded the ship.

Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at each other and immediately followed.

"There are more people?"

"Impossible. Except for Mr. Lin who bought his own ticket to board the ship, I counted all the others until there were ten of them."

When the crew member who was checking tickets at the hatch was asked by them, he said this with certainty.

Hattori Heiji stroked his chin, "So, you really only let in ten people, right?"

"That's right."

They found the female flight attendant in charge of registration again.

"What? When I got the registration form, there was already a name called Ye Sancai registered on it. I thought you registered it when I was away." She looked at the crew member in surprise.

Conan frowned.

After a long pause, he said, "Someone prepared this registration form with Ye Sancai's name on it before everyone boarded the ship, and forged an extra 'Ye Sancai'."

"Then who did Mr. Kujirai meet? There should be no need for him to lie." Ran Mouri still found it difficult to understand this situation.

"That should be the person behind the big event."

Rinshakuha said in a flat voice, "Considering what Mr. Maori said about the robbery 20 years ago, I'm afraid our journey will not be a pleasant one."
