Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

Chapter 144 The Hunter Smiles from the Darkness 3

Underwater compartment.

This place was only opened to the public this morning. Before that, only "staff" could enter and exit this cabin.

Previously, the cruise ship staff said that because they had just set sail yesterday, the underwater scenery was not good.

Akikawa Sarana knew that the real purpose was to arrange the auction site and deliver the items to be auctioned to the location away from people's eyes.

After all, in addition to the items prepared in advance, there will also be "unruly" people who add items in at the last minute.

Although the auction has not yet started, people with passes can still go to this cabin in advance to take a look. This is mainly because many people doing this kind of business are very cautious, and they will feel uncomfortable if they don't check out this kind of venue.

Of course, although you can go to this cabin to take a look, you still cannot enter the auction site.

Akikawa Sarana pushed the mask that covered half of her face and looked at the not-so-small number of people here. Her expression underneath the mask looked a little strange.

The auction was held under the name of a masquerade, in order to prevent someone from walking in by mistake. Although this idea is old, it seems to still be useful.

The pass is a threshold, minors are not allowed to enter is a threshold, and the mask is to keep everyone mysterious... Tsk, why don’t they give everyone a big black cloak?

[Host, didn't you plan to come to this auction before?] Even her host originally checked in with Li Mu's identity just to be on the safe side, so why did she come here in advance now?

[Didn't you say before that Kiya Yuma was at Abyssus on the 10th floor? Abyssus is not a bar that people of his status would go to, so he also went to exchange for an auction pass. Secondly, I came here to see if there was any possibility of an accident.]

Yuma Kishiya is one of the new businessmen who have made a fortune in the new materials and technology industry in the past two years. He is Mr. Kishiya who was mentioned by Inspector Megure and Inspector Sato at the scene today. He is also one of the people she left clues to the public security and has conducted transactions with the organization and is still doing business with.

The organization had also given a push to the other party in the process of getting rich, but she was only involved in the initial period. She was not very clear about the subsequent transactions and cooperation between the organization and the other party.

As for the second reason, she came here just as she told Tongzi, to see if any accidents would happen.

[Also, we originally planned to search every possible place on the ship, so this is the first stop.]

【Too. 】

The system understood and breathed a sigh of relief. [It was mainly because you, the host, looked as if you were facing a great enemy. I thought something had suddenly happened.]

【I thought of something.】

Akikawa Sarana observed the crowd wearing masks, "Tongzi, is this distance enough for you to detect?"

[That's enough, host. Please wait for me for a moment. I will start screening for suspicious signals.]

She and Tongzi have already analyzed the mission, and it should be that if her mission fails, everyone on the ship will die.

In such a sea, there are not many reasons that could cause the deaths of so many people on the ship, and the most likely possibility is a shipwreck.

The most likely causes of the shipwreck are explosives and hitting an iceberg. They would basically not encounter icebergs on the route they were sailing, so she thought that explosives were the most likely cause.

The reason why she changed the first stop of the inspection to here instead of the lifeboat location at the beginning was because if an outsider brought explosives on board, the most likely way was through the channel here at the auction.

And if nothing is found here, she can eliminate a large number of people and only need to focus on the suspects as employees and people related to the Ishihara family.

Again, she didn't want to waste too much of Tongzi's energy, so she used this energy-saving method first. After narrowing the scope, she would make the next plan based on the situation.

In the next less than ten minutes, Akikawa Sarina changed several positions according to Tomoko's request.

Finally, after eliminating all interference, Tongzi calculated that the dangerous goods here were not enough to take the lives of everyone on the ship, nor were they enough to destroy the entire cruise ship.

After confirming these, Akikawa Sarana asked Tomoko to mark those things, and then left the underwater cabin.

Watching the host return directly to the water, the system was puzzled, [Host, don't you want to go to the engine room to take a look? ]

After Akikawa Sarina walked into the elevator, she took off the mask on her face and checked whether there was any problem with her disguise. [Although the engine room is the easiest place to tamper with, it is also the place where tampering is most likely to be discovered.

If I were a criminal, and I had to put something in the engine room, I would choose to put it in at the last minute, that is, after the cruise ship enters the high seas and all support cannot arrive in time. 】

Since the thing did not appear here as she had initially thought, the scope of suspects could be narrowed down.

【Host, where are we going now? 】

Hearing Tongzi's question, she answered confidently in her heart, "Go steal the check-in registration list."

That's right, steal the check-in registration list! This is not difficult for Akikawa Sarina who has a system.

If it weren't for some reason, the check-in information of this cruise ship was not recorded in the computer, but in a very old-fashioned booklet.

She could even ask Tongzi to do it directly!

She easily sneaked into the room where the registration book was kept. In order not to waste time, Akikawa Sarana did not take pictures herself, but let the system use its high-speed scanning method to record what she saw when she looked through the list.

The whole process didn't even take more than a minute, and each person had completed what he had to do.

[Host, why don't you take a look here to see if there is anything else? This is how it's played on TV. The protagonist can always find other clues in this kind of room.]

[I won’t watch it anymore. It’s also been shown in TV dramas, where the protagonists and supporting characters often see something in such places and want to investigate it in depth, but then they are discovered and fail.]

Although she was less cautious after having the system, she still felt it was better to be careful in this kind of thing. Now that she had found what she was looking for, she should leave quickly and not waste time.

After that, even if she went to monitor Conan, it would be better than looking around here. The most important thing was that she didn't think there would be anything important here.

【OK. 】

The system felt that what the host said made sense, and it stopped thinking about it. It just roughly scanned the furnishings in the room and continued to help its host monitor the surrounding situation.

【Host, there is no one outside the door. 】

【it is good. 】

Akikawa Sarana took advantage of this time to quickly open the door of the room, then slipped out and locked the door again.

She did not return along the original route, but walked in another direction along the corridor. [In my previous life, I never thought that I could be a lock picking expert one day.]

With her current skills, she will not starve to death even if she works as a locksmith. In the past, she could only open some simple door locks, but now with the guidance of the system, she even dares to try to open the locks of a bank vault.

Of course, she wouldn't really try it, unless one day she wanted to get rid of the organization by being arrested.

Wait, this seems to be a good way!

Well, she was just thinking about it. I'm afraid that before she was caught by the police, Gin might shoot her and send her to see her parents who had died many years ago.

[Tongzi, please look for the check-in registrations of Inoue Rin and Amuro Toru. ]

[Host, Inoue Rin's name has a black star mark under it, but Amuro Toru's does not. 】

Akikawa Sarana frowned slightly, [He doesn't have any? ]

The elevator stopped. It was not the floor she pressed. She looked up at the person who walked in. [Oh no, it was a disguise.]
