At the main venue, there was a show by Yoko Okino, as well as some performances by celebrities and magicians. In order to support Miss Yoko, Mori Kogoro must have arrived at the scene first. Feeling sleepy, I went to sleep in the lounge below the deck.

Jiang Cheng couldn't help yawning. After watching the performance on the stage, he found that the lights flickered twice, which seemed to be caused by unstable voltage, and the others didn't care.

Everything seemed to be calm, but at this moment a scream shocked everyone.

Conan and Hattori rushed to the sound department immediately, and saw the staff in charge of cleaning the exhibition hall sitting limply on the ground, pointing their fingers into the exhibition hall.

A few of them quickly came to the exhibition hall, and found Kazushi Nagao, whom he had seen before, lying in the middle of the exhibition hall. Conan immediately felt his pulse, and shook his head regretfully.

No one expected that there would be a homicide, and Kogoro Mori, Ken Oda, and Yusuke Haneda came along with them. Many guests rushed to hear the news. Heiji Hattori and Kogoro Mori called to stop everyone, except for them For the few people who have already entered the exhibition hall, others please stay outside so as not to damage the scene.

The only police officers on the cruise ship were Officer Nakamori, and there were more than a dozen police officers responsible for the security of Glacier Star. Because they never thought that there would be a case, there were no forensic personnel on this cruise.

Stopping some people, Conan and Hattori Heiji began to inspect the scene, while Jiang Cheng stood aside, and he couldn't help much in this kind of matter, so it's better to stay away and not add to the chaos.

Sanada and Okita Souji also stood with him, and Okita Souji saw Jiang Cheng's shoelaces unraveling.

"Your shoelaces are untied." He pointed to his feet to remind Jiang Cheng.

Sure enough, after being reminded, Jiang Cheng squatted down and immediately re-laced his shoelaces, but his eyes accidentally saw Sanada standing beside him, and his eyes were locked on the edge of his trousers. There seemed to be an offset print on the black trousers, presumably it should be It was accidentally glued to it, but wait?

Jiang Cheng glanced sideways at the glue mark, and there seemed to be a small piece of dark red stuff stuck to it, was it a piece of paper?

At this moment, Sanada seemed to have noticed something. He observed that Jiang Cheng was staring at his trousers intentionally or unintentionally, so he moved his position subconsciously. Stand still.

Soon Hattori Heiji, who was checking the scene over there, shouted towards them.

"Hey, Okita, come here."

Director Okita who was called was stunned and walked over reluctantly.

"Why? I can't help you much. You won't let me do some weird things just to get revenge for losing to me."

Hattori Heiji was speechless when he heard him say that.

"Are you an idiot? Too big a brain is a disease. It's best to see a doctor after getting off the ship. Don't dawdle, come here quickly."

Okita Souji walked over quickly, only to see Hattori pointing at the wound on the corpse.

"Look at this knife mark."

Following Hattori's finger, Okita Souji saw where he was pointing, and suddenly said with a look of surprise.

"What a powerful swordsmanship."

Hattori Heiji apparently asked him to come over to determine the scars.

"That's right, this knife mark is very clean and neat, and it kills with one knife, and the California Qingguang is missing from the exhibition hall."

Okita Souji glanced at the empty knife holder.

"You mean the murderer killed this man with a California clear light?"

"That's right, we all went through strict security checks when we boarded the ship. Besides, if it was a real sword, it would be impossible to be brought onto the ship silently, so there is only one possibility. The murderer took away California Qingguang after the murder." At present, judging from the clues at the scene, Hattori Heiji believes that this is the possibility.

Nagao Kazushi was cut across the neck by the murderer's sword, and the wound was smooth without any flesh turning out, which means that the murderer's knife was extremely fast. If the speed reached a very fast level, the wound caused would not be spattered in a large area. Blood.

Okita Souji stared at the wound for a while and spoke again.

"It's not so much swordsmanship, but more precisely, it's Iaido."

Kendo is the swordsmanship after drawing the sword, while Iaido is the moment when the sword is drawn to defeat the enemy.

Conan stared at the scene seriously, Iaido?He touched his chin and lowered his head in thought, but saw bloodstains on the ground. The victim was killed from the front, and there was very little blood splattered, but one of the bloodstains on the ground seemed to be blocked. It should have been in the shape of a dot, but now it was on the ground But there is only a semicircle, and the blocked side presents an unnatural arc.

Wait, it seems that there is still a little bloodstain very far away, and it is also an incomplete dot. Hattori Heiji also discovered this. They saw that Kazushi Nagao's fingers seemed to be stained with blood, and they immediately showed a recovery situation in their minds , if he puts his finger on this distant blood spot.

Completely coincident!

That is to say, he was pointing at something at the beginning, and looking in the direction, it was the display stand of California Qingguang.

The incident seems to be inseparable from California Qingguang. Conan knows the origin of this knife, but it is clearly recorded that California Qingguang has long been broken and disappeared in the long river of history, unless the one on display is not the real California Qingguang.

While they were checking the scene, Jiang Cheng found Ken Oda and Yusuke Haneda who were blocked outside the exhibition hall. Yusuke Haneda had a normal expression, but Ken Oda was shocked when he saw Nagao Kazushi die. Then he glanced fiercely at Haneda beside him, but quickly returned to normal and left.

Seeing the two of them leave one after another, Jiang Cheng also looked away. Could it be that Kazushi Nagao's death was related to them?

Officer Nakamori sealed off the scene, Hattori Heiji also called the first discoverer to inquire about the situation, and Conan was also listening to the discovery process.

The cleaner recalled.

"At that time, I saw that there were no visitors in the exhibition hall, so I started to do cleaning work, but just after cleaning a corner, there was a sudden power outage in the exhibition hall. I thought it was a trip, so I planned to go down to check the main switch, and when I came back, I found the victim Lying in the exhibition hall, I really don't know anything, and I don't see anyone suspicious."

Obviously, it was the first time for the cleaning staff to encounter such a thing, and they were a little emotionally broken.

Hattori Heiji said soothingly.

"Please calm down. We just hope that you will tell the story truthfully. The matter of finding the murderer will be handed over to the police. Now we need your cooperation."

Conan thought for a moment and spoke.

"Uncle, how long did it take you to leave and come back again?"

"Because the main switch is on the second floor below the deck, it takes about 10 minutes to go back and forth. To be able to kill people in such a short time, it must be Fu Sangshen! Those four ancient knives have killed so many people, they must be controlled by Fu Sangshen above. A knife." The cleaner was obviously superstitious, he seemed to believe that Fu Sangshen used a sword to kill people.

The corners of Hattori and Conan's mouths couldn't help twitching. Even if the four ancient knives on display today belonged to the Shinsengumi swordsmen, and they killed many people with them, it wouldn't involve such a thing as Fu Sangshen. Well, totally superstitious statement.

Because there were no forensic personnel to investigate some invisible clues at the scene, the murderer could not be identified for a while only by naked eye observation and scattered clues at the scene. At this moment, Conan and Hattori simultaneously remembered the two most likely suspects. Ken Oda and Yusuke Haneda.

"The only person with such superb swordsmanship is Ken Oda, who claims to be the president of the Kendo Association." Hattori Heiji felt that he was the most suspicious.

"Yes, besides, he and the victim seem to have a different relationship." Conan also agreed with this point of view.

Several people immediately went to find Ken Oda himself, and police officer Nakamori also sent the police to find the whereabouts of Qingguang Qingguang, but unfortunately they found neither Qingguang Qingguang nor Ken Oda.

The incident fell into a clueless situation for a while, until another scream rang through the cruise ship, and the object of their suspicion, Oda Ken, appeared, but Oda Ken also became a corpse. He was found in the second floor below the deck. In the bathroom, California Qingguang was also inserted into the body, and the hot water from the shower head was constantly pouring down, washing away any traces that might be left on the body.

Hattori closed the head, only to see Oda Ken's right hand holding the handle of the knife, and Kawasaki Kiyomitsu was inserted into his abdomen, which looked like a state of suicide.They also found a suicide note outside the bathroom.

[That guy from Long Tail actually found out my secret, but I didn't want to kill him, I can't escape after going ashore...]

Kogoro Mori couldn't help saying when he saw the content of the suicide note.

"Suicide?"

Conan felt that something was wrong, and incidents happened one after another. First, Kazushi Nagao was stabbed to death by someone with extremely high sword skills, and then the suspected kendo president died. Now there is only one suspect left, but no matter how you look at it, Yusuke Haneda is not It seems like someone who can kill a master like Oda Ken.

The case came to a dead end for a while, it must have been ignored by them somewhere.

Hattori Heiji checked Oda Ken's scene again. Although many possible clues were washed away by the water, there might be something left. He stared at Oda Ken's hand.

strangeness?He found that Oda Ken's hands were unexpectedly smooth and delicate, and he didn't seem to be practicing kendo at all. In the next second, his eyes followed California Qingguang, and he saw the scabbard falling beside him, and visually inspected the lines of the scabbard and the blade .

He poked Conan next to him, and his tone was full of doubts.

"Hey, Kudo, do you think this scabbard doesn't quite fit with California Kiyomitsu?"

"Is there?" Conan also carefully looked at the lines of the sword as he said it. It seems that the scabbard is less than the blade. If you put California Qingguang in this scabbard, some blade edges should be exposed.

There were only so many clues that could be found at the scene. Officer Nakamori sealed off the bathroom again, but California Qingguang was taken back and sealed in a plastic bag as an item collected at the scene.

With the plastic bag, Conan and Hattori were more sure about the mismatch between the scabbard and the sword.

Now only Yusuke Haneda, the suspect who was related to the two deceased, was left. Before they could find him, he saw him come over on his own initiative.

"I heard that two of my friends suffered accidents! Is it true?!" His tone was shocked, and his expression also appeared to be unbelievable.

It was only when Conan saw his bandaged left hand.

"Uncle, is your hand hurt?"

Yusuke Haneda nodded.

"Yeah, when I was watching the show just now, I accidentally broke the wine glass and cut my hand, so I went to the staff and asked for some medicine and gauze to wrap it up."

Officer Nakamori heard the suspect's words and immediately signaled the officers to investigate the authenticity of the matter.

Hattori asked further.

"While watching the show, that means it's at the main venue on the first floor, right?"

Yusuke Haneda responded with a smile on his face.

"Well, it was Yoko Okino's show at the time, I liked it very much, and the magic show behind it was also very exciting." The smiling expression seemed to say that he was a fan of Yoko Okino.

Yoko Okino's show?Conan was keenly aware of this.

Soon there was an inquiry from the policemen, saying that one of the service staff had indeed given Haneda Yousuke medicine and gauze, and had also bandaged his left hand.

Now Yusuke Haneda has an alibi, after all, how could a person with an injured hand use Iaido to kill Nagao.

The case stalled again, but Conan suddenly seemed to remember something, and sure enough, he still had a few doubts that he cared about.

He first went to Okino Yoko, and then found the staff member who testified that Haneda was injured, and asked them a few more questions.

When the staff member mentioned Haneda Yusuke's injured state, Conan immediately understood everything, and he connected all the clues he knew.

Sure enough, Nagao Kazushi was not killed by Oda Ken, and Oda Ken did not commit suicide. The murderer in the two cases was Yusuke Haneda.

The evidence that Yusuke Haneda killed Oda Ken is on him, and now there is only decisive evidence that he killed Nagao Kazushi.

Hattori Heiji looked at Kudo who had returned, and asked in a low voice.

"Kudou, have you found anything?"

"Ah, now there is only one key piece of evidence missing." Conan briefly explained the kimono service department he had investigated, and combined with the evidence found by the service department, the truth was ready to come out.

Conan sorted out the doubtful points on the scene again, and now what he hadn't solved was the incomplete bloodstain shape beside Kazushi Nagao. He lowered his head, and suddenly saw Yusuke Haneda's feet.

The lens flashed in an instant, and he said to Hattori with a smile.

"Hey, Hattori, Iaido usually doesn't wear leather shoes if he wants to draw a sword quickly and stably."

"Of course, don't talk about Iaido, who practiced kendo have you ever seen someone wear leather shoes?" Hattori was a little speechless to Kudo's question, isn't this common sense.

As soon as he finished speaking, he understood Kudo's meaning in the next second, and saw the leather shoes on Yusuke Haneda's feet. It seemed that decisive evidence had been found.
