Chapter 35 Cruise Ship Kidnapping Case

Conan does not want to question the authority of this detective agency, but is it too arrogant for a detective to dare to call the name of Japan's "Father of Detective Mysteries" openly? At this moment, he selectively ignores his pseudonym and combines Conan Doyle This fact of the genius mystery novelist.

But half an hour later, Conan was immediately slapped in the face. This young man who described his behavior as very childish judged the process of committing the crime with just one glance. He came to the same conclusion, but he decided that it was impossible to piece together all the fragments of the clues in one minute.

Edogawa Ranpo took off his glasses with a smile, looked at Sonoko and Xiaolan who were full of sincerity and said with a smile: "It is not difficult to deduce the process of the victim's kidnapping, but it is not very helpful to find them, but..."

"But what?" Xiao Lan, who had some doubts about the Armed Detective Agency, is now completely convinced.

"But I found the trace of one of the prisoners." Edogawa Ranpo said lightly.

"Eh?!" Everyone in the audience was shocked.

Conan also grew his mouth, with an unbelievable expression on his face, Edogawa ranpo glanced at his watch: "There is no time to explain slowly, now go to XX company to find a watch with a dark skin, it should be a porter man, he should be one of the accomplices."

"It's not too late, I'll contact the police right away!" Xiaolan hurriedly called Officer Sato.

At this time, Conan was observing the scene while touching his chin, studying how Ranpo Edogawa came to a conclusion at a glance, but he didn't notice a figure approaching him quietly, and was instantly startled.

"Little friend, you also seem to be a pretty good detective."

Conan raised his head, and heard Edogawa Ranpo say meaningfully. His back went numb for a moment, and he stumbled twice. Before he could make up an excuse, Edogawa Ranpo seemed to have succeeded in a prank. He rubbed his hair, then waved his hand in Conan's terrified expression and walked away.

"My job is done, and I'll leave it to you, Detective."

Looking at his back, Conan's scalp tingled.



Fourteen hours after the incident, the Tokyo police, who had been fighting all night without sleep, finally locked down the suspect with the help of various forces, both open and dark.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Sato personally led a team to arrest a liaison member of the kidnapper team, making a breakthrough.

"Where is your partner now?" Sato put his hands on the table and looked at the suspect aggressively, "It doesn't make any sense to resist!" However, how could this kind of verbal "warning" easily shake the determined criminal suspect? They pressed back and forth, but the other party just stared at the table without saying a word.

Takagi wiped the sweat from his forehead, and watched the prisoner's expression through the one-way mirror. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but there was nothing he could do about the prisoner who was determined to fight to the end.

Seeing that the road here was about to be blocked, the escort of the Suzuki family who rushed to the police station and temporarily joined the task force brought unexpected progress: "The heir of the Atobe family may be on the Liberty Boat. It was moored at the port of Yokohama two days ago and left last night."

The Suzuki Guards, who had an indissoluble bond with Kidd due to their battle of wits and courage, touched a corner of the truth earlier than the famous detectives by overtaking on a curve by virtue of their extraordinary friendship.That's right, considering the possibility of an inner ghost among the police, the witty Kaito Kidd chose to believe in his "eternal enemy", and firmly believed that with the energy of the Suzuki family, this news would not be easily buried. After having a chance to communicate, he lurked back to the Liberty Boat again.

This information brought a new breakthrough to the task force. However, when they turned their guns and planned to invest in this direction, a more unexpected news came unexpectedly.

"What did you say?" Police officer Takagi almost fainted when he heard the bad news, and the shocking shout made Conan, who was following the police station's movements through the bug, feel like he was going deaf.

Seeing Conan put down the headset with a heavy face, Hattori, who was assisting with the case through the remote video, was very surprised: "What's the matter, Kudo, didn't you get a new breakthrough? I just used the police station's intranet to learn about this freedom. The boat's 'brilliant record'. This is indeed a cruise ship with a lot of bad records. If the robbers really choose this place as a hiding place, I have to praise them for their cleverness. Even if the police find them, it will be difficult to effectively arrest them."

As Hattori was talking, he saw that Conan's eyes became more and more empty. He couldn't help asking: "Hey! Kudo, what's the matter with you? Are you listening to me?"

Conan covered his face and tried to calm down. After a while, he took a deep breath, looked at Hattori calmly and said, "The police just learned that someone is planning to set up an explosion on the Liberty Boat." He looked at the table and said angrily, "That guy set up a bomb, and it is expected to explode at [-]:[-] noon in two hours... We may be too late."

After hearing this, Hattori's eyes widened in disbelief: "So, isn't the Liberty Boat about to become a death cruise ship? If your friend is really on it..."

Conan had never felt so desperate. He realized that even if the police dispatched emergency helicopter rescue now, it would take at least two more hours in the most optimistic case. By then, the explosion had already started, and Yukimura might not even find the bones.



Go back to four hours ago.

Yukimura and Atobe accidentally heard a "tick" when they were confronting the three sisters, and soon the room returned to silence, as if nothing had happened.

But neither Kusei Lei nor Yukimura put the sound behind them.The tears in the next life are due to caution, and Yukimura is because of a kind of intuitive crisis warning that is frantically ringing, forcing him to look for any signs of abnormal occurrence.

Miyukimura and Elder Sister unanimously started to unpack the boxes one by one, and the Kasagi sisters and Atobe soon joined their actions.

Soon forty or fifty boxes were opened one by one, but nothing seemed abnormal until——

At the same time as he touched this ordinary eight-inch box, the crisis alarm in Yukimura's body issued a stronger reminder, as if a strong electric current suddenly penetrated his whole body, paralyzing his whole body, so he stopped to pick up the box to check Instead, leave it on the shelf and just take the lid off to check the inside.

However, as soon as the box was opened, Yukimura's pupils shrank rapidly, and the veins in the hands holding the lid were exposed. He tried to keep his voice steady, took a deep breath and said, "I think I may have found the root of the problem."

Everyone gathered together, and the sisters of the next life widened their eyes in horror: "How is it possible?!"

Atobe was also frightened, but he tried his best to calm down his emotions: "Why is there a bomb here?" With doubts, he turned around and opened the other boxes continuously, but fortunately, the other boxes were normal.

As a mechanical expert, Ai Shiai became the most influential person in the audience. She carefully checked the structure of the bomb, looked at Yukimura and sighed: "Your luck is really good, this bomb only needs to be picked up , once the balance is lost, the explosion will be triggered instantly. Fortunately, it is only in the timing state now, and I am sure to dismantle the bomb, so leave it to me."

Talking about the next life, Ai has already taken out the tools she carried with her, turned on the flashlight and started the bomb disposal operation.

Laishenglei saw that the current situation was a bit complicated, and he quickly agreed to Atobu's previous request without considering the pros and cons: "I agreed to the previous transaction. Now let's quickly restore this place to its original state while Xiaoai dismantled the bomb. It took too long There will be more and more people who have no activities on board, and we are likely to be discovered."

Yukimura and Atobe looked at each other and nodded, and they quickly put away the opened boxes.

Ten minutes later, Sheng Ai successfully dismantled the bomb and found a note inside the bomb. Her face instantly showed a panic expression, and then she quickly ran to the elder sister and handed the note to her: "Oops, elder sister , there is more than this bomb on this ship!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked again.

Laishenglei made a decisive decision: "Now is not the time to discuss, let's leave here first, and return to the room quickly to study!"



Facing a letter of challenge from the bomber, the five people sitting in the room fell silent, and even the usually calm tears of the next life were a little out of order.

"I didn't expect that we would accidentally smash the plan of a bomber. Should I say it was a surprise or a joy?" Laisheng Tong had mixed feelings, looked at the note and sighed helplessly, "The current information is too limited, we don't know Who is the opponent, what is the purpose, and how many bombs have been planted, it is too difficult to prevent the explosion from happening."

Yukimura pondered whether there was any perfect solution to resolve the impasse in front of him, but after thinking about it, no matter what method they used, it was unlikely that they could resolve this incident by themselves within the remaining six hours.

"Maybe we can steal a lifeboat and get out of here before it explodes. The other party set six hours must be out of consideration for escape." Afterlife Love's suggestion is not unreasonable, but although there are many criminals on the cruise ship, it is not unreasonable. It is unacceptable to tell them this and just walk away and watch them die.

After hesitating for a moment, Yukimura decided to act boldly, even though this choice was very risky: "Is it possible for you to sneak into the captain's cabin without being discovered? We can pretend to be criminals to attract the opponent's attention with a provocative gesture. There is a real bomb Model as a threat, I think they will choose to believe."

Laishenglei thought for a moment and replied: "It's difficult, but not impossible. It's just..."

"Are you worried that the captain doesn't pay attention to this news, or if he pays attention to this news, he will choose to call everyone to find the murderer, so that we both will be in danger?" Sensing her worry from the tears in her eyes, Atobe was sure of this. This partner is indeed a "good guy" who is on a wrong path.

Afterlife tears did not answer.

"Exposure may be risky, but if you don't let them know, you can't mobilize everyone's strength to search. It's too difficult to find all the bombs with our strength alone. Also, your and my identities are really sensitive. If we don't do it well, we will Bring disaster." Laisheng Tong was in a dilemma.

"Compared to finding the murderer, screening the location of the bomb will be a more difficult problem. Maybe the designer has escaped smoothly at this time, and we don't know." Yukimura tried hard to persuade Akio, "I believe you must be prepared You can protect yourself, and then you don’t have to worry about our safety.”

Kiseiyu hesitated for a while, and finally agreed to Yukimura's plan.

Five minutes later, Lai Shenglei walked all the way to the captain's cabin with the handbag containing the bomb wreckage. She tried her best to look calm, but this strangeness still caught someone's eyes.



There was a crisp knock on the door, and Kisei had only left for 5 minutes. Logically, it was impossible to go and return so quickly. Hitomi Kisei signaled Yukimura and Atobe to hide, while he opened the door vigilantly with a weapon behind his back.

Surprisingly, what appeared in front of everyone was actually Tears of the Afterlife.

Before Kisho Hitomi could ask a question, Kisho Hitomi quickly dragged someone into the room, and found that Atobe Yukimura was gone, she coughed softly twice and said, "Come out, this is our ally."

Hearing this, Yukimura and Atobe carefully opened the bathroom door and came out. Unexpectedly, the person who appeared in front of them at this time turned out to be an old acquaintance.

"It's you two/Phantom Thief Kidd!" The three exclaimed at the same time, and then looked at each other.Seeing that the three of them seemed to be very friendly, Akimura was a little surprised, especially when Yukimura Atobe called this uninvited guest a "monster thief", which stimulated her sensitive nerves.

"Are you a Phantom Thief?" the outspoken Ai Shengai asked directly without thinking too much. "Is it famous?"

Yukimura sensed something strange from her subtle expression. Could it be that she has never heard of such a famous colleague as Kaitou Kidd? It is not an exaggeration to know that Kaitou Kidd’s current popularity can be called a phenomenon-level idol in Japan, but she His expression is very natural, not fake.

Just when Yukimura's reasoning hit the key point, some kind of seal covering his eyes was lifted, as if a thick fog was blown away, he saw the same label on the heads of the four people except him and Atobe ——The strange thief, but the specific description is different. At this moment, a certain question that has troubled him for a long time revealed its true face...



Wearing a white suit and wearing a half mask, Kidd crossed his arms and smiled slightly: "I didn't expect you to be the companions of this big sister. The world is still really small."

"Sister, who is this?" The keen pupil looked at Kidd, who was not showing his true face, with extra vigilance.

"Just now I planned to go to the captain's cabin according to the plan, but I didn't expect to be stopped by this gentleman on the way. He said that he also found out that someone on this ship planned to carry out the bombing, and advised me to cooperate with him to solve this case. "Laishenglei explained what happened just now.

Hearing this, Lai Shengtong became more and more skeptical: "Sister, how can you be sure that he is a good person, maybe he is the mastermind behind the scenes!"

The Kaitou Kidd smiled slightly, and took out a letter of challenge that was exactly the same as the notice letter found in the next life: "Because, I was the one who knocked out the mastermind."

Hitomi still had some doubts, but before she could say anything, Yukimura beside her said slowly, "Don't doubt Mr. Kaido Kidd, he is a good man, he was the one who rescued us before."

Love in the next life is full of question marks: "Could it be that the strange thief is still working part-time as the old man these days, and is responsible for rescuing the young couple who rebelled against the family and wandered around the world from the hands of the feudal patriarch?"

"What is this and what?" Kidd was dumbfounded by Ai Shikai's words, looked at Yukimura and Atobe, and then at the sisters Shikisei, and asked sincerely, "Aren't they kidnapped here?"

"Kidnapping??" Shiki Ai looked at Yukimura in disbelief, "Aren't you the young master and his little wife who ran away because of love? Why is there such a thing as kidnapping, or is the kidnapper your family?"

"Pfft..." Hearing the three consecutive questions, Kidd couldn't help covering his stomach and laughing loudly, pointing to his love in the next life and sighing: "Miss, you are really talented!"

Yukimura raised his forehead, he seemed unable to explain the current situation for a while.If he had known that in the next life, love would come up with such a rich plot and cause the two of them to be harmed, he might as well have told him frankly from the beginning, but now, everything seems to be too late.

Yukimura turned his head to look at Atobe, trying to comfort the other party not to care, but saw Atobe turned his face away with an "angry" look, from his neck to the roots of his ears turned red, and he felt a bit "turned from embarrassment into anger".Yukimura understood instantly, Atobe probably felt depressed because he was recognized as a "little wife".

Yukimura, who was far from the truth, looked at the back of Atobe's head, and for some reason, Shengai's deafening words rang out in his head over and over again.

In the eyes of others, do they look like a couple?
