Chapter 552 Kazami Yuya: Sometimes it’s quite helpless to work overtime alone
“Who fell into the water?!”
As soon as he ran out of the restaurant, Hattori Heiji asked loudly Then, he confirmed the location of the sound source as quickly as possible, and at the same time tried to get closer to the bow of the ship where people were gathered on the deck.
There is no lighting on the deck at night, only the light from the restaurant. At this moment, a group of uniformed crew members are crowded in front, and the light of the flashlight is swinging around, making it difficult to see the situation clearly.
"It seems like a passenger on a ship..."
"So he said he found a person hanging outside the boat or something..."
"This is the only escape ladder left, what should I do?"
"It's troublesome, even if there is a lifeboat... …”
The noisy chatter of the surrounding crew members reached his ears. Hattori Heiji noticed something and his heart tightened. He pushed away the surrounding crew members and looked down.
Outside the railing of the bow, an escape ladder was hanging there. At the end of the ladder, an obviously human-shaped thing was hanging there, rolling with the rhythm of the waves on the bow. With.
Hattori Heiji's throat tightened at first. After he looked closely and confirmed that it was a thin man with short hair and wearing a shirt, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Today Karasawa was wearing a windbreaker with a scarf and a short cloak, and a sweater vest underneath. This was definitely not him.
Stabilizing his mind, he called over the few people who had followed him, and soon he and Mouri Kogoro worked together to drag up the man who was hanging there by the rope ladder.
Karijiu's body was dragged back to the deck with a bullet in his forehead and a bloody streak.
In this case, doesn’t it mean that Tangze...
"You just said someone fell into the water, what happened?" Hattori Heiji once again grabbed the edge of the railing and looked down at the dark sea, his heart falling uncontrollably.
Karasawa seems to be able to swim, but if he falls from such a high place, it will not be solved by simply floating...
"Yes, there is A passenger came on board, uh, a pretty young guy..." The crew members who were stared at by many eyes flinched back, and after a few words of discussion, they pushed out an honest-looking young crew member and explained what they had encountered. "He walked around on the deck several times. We met him twice and asked him what he was looking for. He said he was looking for people missing on the ship. We saw that he persisted and did not dissuade him. Just now. , he suddenly came over and asked us to borrow a flashlight, saying that he seemed to have found something outside the boat and would notify us after confirming it. "
"Then he never came back." Another tall man stood next to him. The sailor took the words and tugged at the cuffs of his uniform uneasily, "We were worried that something had happened, so we followed the direction he ran away to find the bow of the ship, only to find that there was no one here. Instead, there was something hanging outside the ship, uh..."
"How are you sure that he has fallen into the water? He may have just gone to other parts of the ship." Hattori Heiji, who was already panicking, tried to stay calm and continued to confirm the situation.
Several crew members looked at each other and then showed them what they had found.
The expressions of Maori Kogoro and his group sank, and Mao Lilan even covered her mouth tightly, for fear of letting out any exclamations.
That was the plaid scarf that Karasawa was wearing... and a dark red mobile phone.
Hattori Heiji took a deep breath, turned his head suddenly, and glared at Sadao Whalei, who was hiding behind the crowd with a sullen face.
"Yes, it's Ye Caisan, it must be Ye Caisan..." Sadao Whalei was shaking all over, repeating vague words in his mouth, as the crew took over the life ladder and prepared to lower the boat. Amidst the chaotic footsteps of people searching for someone, they were chanting like a mantra, "He's come to take revenge on me, he's come to take revenge on us..."
Poor acting... Hattori Heiji gritted his teeth so hard that his lips were upwards and squeezed unconsciously, as if he was making a biting expression.
This guy, when they were searching, had left their sight on the pretext of going to the toilet...
Damn it, he was not the only one who had left. Based on this alone, He definitely won't admit it.
Hattori Heiji squeezed the hand hanging by his side, turned around, and strode towards the entrance of the rear computer room.
"It must be because Karasawa mentioned that he found Kamie Norihisa's body, so he was given by the murderer..." Holding tightly to the slightly uneven paint surface on the railing, Conan gritted his teeth and looked at The dark water reflected a faint moonlight below.
The low waxing moon looked down from the sky like an almond-shaped vertical pupil.

“Wow——”
Feng Jian Yuya couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and looked at him with a messy face in the cold and salty sea breeze. The man standing on the bow of the boat was squeezing the water down.
“I didn’t expect that when Mr. Furutani informed me that I was here to fish for people, he really wanted to ‘fish for people’…” Yuya Kazami patted his forehead and sighed heavily, “You Did you suddenly feel that taking a boat was too boring and decided to come down and experience the scenery? ”
Apart from this reason, he really couldn't find the reason why Karasawa suddenly fell into the water from the cruise ship.
God knows, he boarded the speedboat and drove hard to the route of the cruise ship. Suddenly, a wet hand slapped on the edge of the boat, and he held on to the edge without letting go. It was a kind of What an experience.
At that moment, he simply thought that there was some monster crawling out of the sea, and he was preparing to board the ship to kill him. All the fatigue and sleepiness disappeared.
So where did Tangze get his whims and decide to jump off the boat for a swim?
You can’t just think it’s too hot on the boat and come down to cool off, right?
"Mr. Kazami, you're talking too much." Karasawa turned around innocently and tugged at his shirt and sweater that were completely soaked. "I told you, was I pushed down by the murderer?"
< br> Kazami Yuya crossed his arms and looked at the wet Karasawa unmoved, stepping on the bow of the boat to wring the water out of his coat without moving an eyebrow.
Pushed down? I believe you are evil!
You can push it down if you want? The last person who tried to push you down the stairs was taken away crying and shouting in front of the camera. His hosting career was ruined. He should still be going through the court process now.
If nothing else, you were so lively and energetic just now, climbing up the boat by yourself, how could you look like a drowning person in need of rescue?
With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Kazami Yuya sighed resignedly, dug out two blankets on the boat, walked over and wrapped Karasawa in a haphazard way.
Kazemi Yuya watched Karasawa rub his wet hair on the blanket, accepted his fate and took his coat and cloak, which were extra heavy due to being full of sea water, and continued to wring them out for him.
At the same time, he did not forget to ask about the situation that Karasawa encountered: "What happened on the ship? Mr. Furitani told me about the latest actions of the Phantom Thieves of the Heart and some of the movements on your ship. It does matter. Is it something important?"
"Oh, we received the TV signal on the ship and saw the news." Tang Ze nodded, "It does matter if I guess. If it were wrong, the bank safe that was stolen contained 400 million yen in cash that Ye Caisan and his gang had robbed 20 years ago. Perhaps it was the excitement of this incident that turned these long-lost comrades into enemies. At present, two people are dead and one is injured, so the game is almost over. "
"...Now that you have investigated everything clearly..." Kazami Yuya pursed his lips and looked over helplessly.
Don’t we all know the cause and effect? Then why don't you hurry up and expose them? What are you doing by jumping off the boat?
What else could it be for? Of course it was to cover for a few teammates who had disguised themselves as crew members.
Now his own life or death is uncertain, and the murder case on the ship is unsolved. The murderer is probably in the stage of crazy talk. The detectives and several other suspects must have no time to worry about whether there are two or three more people on the ship. of.
They made a special trip to rob the 400 million, not for financial gain. The method may not be sophisticated enough, but Karasawa has not forgotten the purpose of the Phantom Thief.
In addition to being used to shock several former robbers and have their dreams shattered before they were alive, Tangze also hopes that these things can bring relief to the families of the victims.
Not only in terms of money, but also handing over the source of the death of their loved ones to their hands, in Tang Ze's view, is a kind of return of things to their original owners.
As for whether they want to keep the money or hand it over to the state, that has nothing to do with Tang Ze.
Tang Ze was thinking this in his heart, but he said something else: "Oh, I think this case is a bit too popular. I feel that my personality is not suitable for standing in front of the stage, so why not just Provoke the murderer and use your identity as a witness to solidify his problem."
Feng Jian Yuya couldn't stop him from saying a word, and he couldn't help but widen his squinted eyes.
Huh? Is your personality not suitable for standing in front of the stage?
Then the guy who was watching TV yesterday and chatting in front of the camera about his experience in solving crimes in Yokohama, is he a ghost?
He looked at the serious expression on Tang Ze's face for a while, and couldn't express the complaints that came to his lips. Based on his experience, if he rashly refuted Tang Ze at this time, the boy would have no objection with a smile on his face, but he would definitely be remembered severely in his heart.
Don't talk back to your boss, nor to your temporary consultants or instructors. This is his way to survive in the workplace.
He had no choice but to make a muffled "hmm", lowered his head, and used all his strength to twist the cloth in his hand into a stiff strip. Judging from the strength, it seemed a bit personal.
Sometimes working overtime at night can be quite helpless.
————
"...In short, this is the situation. I was indeed one of the people who participated in the robbery 20 years ago." Whalei Sadao lowered his head and said With a face full of shock, he said, "I boarded this ship just to meet up with two other companions who had escaped safely for 20 years."
A group of people surrounded him, listening to him tremblingly explain his situation. Interrupt loudly.
Ebina Minoru and Isogai Nagisa both looked down at him silently with cold gazes. The detectives and the other detectives, who were supposed to have a more peaceful attitude, had more serious expressions than them.
It is not known whether Karasawa can be found after he fell into the sea. He fell into the sea from a ship that was moving at full speed. Even if Karasawa is a good swimmer, he may not be able to survive until he is found by rescuers.
The people who were walking around chatting and laughing not long ago suddenly became the missing persons in danger, and none of them felt better.
“One of the two of them sent me a letter with an old version of the 10,000 yen note. The letter said that as long as I board the ship on time and wait until the ship sets sail, I will If the statute of limitations is exceeded, you will not be arrested." Sadao Whale stared at the wooden board below with a look on his face, his face was very depressed, "We haven't met for a long time, because we have changed our names and appearances, at first we I didn’t know who it was until Xie Jiang called me. His voice didn’t change at all.”
His depression was genuine, mixed with a bit of annoyance and anger.
Everything was fine, everything was fine, he implemented the plan step by step so smoothly.
He has already killed Kameda, and Kanie as the scapegoat is also under his control. As long as he waits for his suspicious behavior to be suspected by the detectives, he can start to confess to the past and put on a good show of being shot in front of the detectives. .
At that time, this group of people rushed to the unattended bow of the ship and took a look. They saw Kanie Koreku with a gun in his hand, and he was suspected of committing suicide by drinking a bullet. He, the person who was attacked by the murderer, was also the one who was attacked by the murderer. The situation was cleared.
Everything was planned very well, except for one accident, and that was Tangze.
If it is only discovered that Crab Jiang has been hanging outside the ship for a long time, then there is still a chance to save everything. Kill him before he informs others of the discovery or saves the unconscious Crab River. All problems will be solved. will exist.
However, this boy who was obsessed with searching something alerted the crew members on the ship during the operation. Even if the others were gone, the matter of Crab River could not be concealed at all and might be exposed at any time.
Seeing that something was not going well, he shot and killed Kanie Norehisa without hesitation, threw the murder weapon far away from the boat, and hurried back, preparing to kill Ye Caisan, who had never shown up, who did all this.
Although this set of rhetoric is more difficult to win people's trust than the original plan, it is still a good way to obscure the situation. There will be some suspicion on him, but the key evidence is difficult to grasp.
And his anger originated from here.
Is it so difficult to implement the plan properly?
Is he really not as good as Ye Caisan, a dead man, and is he doomed to bear the identity of a mazi who takes orders from others for the rest of his life?
It was obvious that they had already killed the man who was a criminal and had to adhere to inexplicable "principles" when he was a criminal. Even because he was buried in the sea, they almost unanimously chose aquatic animals and put them into their pseudonyms, hinting that they were against him. His repression.
He was really unwilling, very unwilling, but he had no choice.
"So, are you going to say that Ye Caisan, who was betrayed by you, is chasing you?" Samezaki Shimaji, who had been looking at the corpse, stood up straight and looked at it with sharp eyes. Sadao Whalei.
"Absolutely, that's what it means..." After mumbling a few words, Samezaki Shimaji turned his head and pursed his lips.
Mix the water, make it more confusing.
As long as time drags on long enough, the kid who fell will definitely be dead. By then, even if these people notice anything...
"Since this is Kanie Shiku, then the stern of the boat was burned before Who is that person who is burned? He is wearing Kanie Korehisu's clothes and watch!" Mouri Kogoro looked at the flat body in front of him and was puzzled.
"Maybe it's another missing person, Kameda Teruyoshi." Samezaki Shimaji squatted beside the body and observed, "shot at close range, killed with one hit, and there are scorch marks on his temples. He should He died not long ago. "
"Could it be that there is really someone hiding on the ship that none of us have discovered?" Mouri Kogoro frowned and muttered, "Then he is hiding. Where is it..."
After inspecting the wound, veteran detective Samezaki Shimaji turned the body over, and unbuttoned the deceased's clothes as he habitually followed the order of body inspection.
"Why is there an old gunshot wound on his body?!" Mouri Kogoro, who was always paying attention to his progress, widened his eyes.
According to the evidence found by the police at the beach and the testimony of Sadao Whalei, Ye Caisan, who was betrayed by three people 20 years ago, was shot multiple times in the back and fell from the cliff into the sea. .
Could it be that this person is not one of the robbers, but the real Ye Caisan himself...?
"Yes, they are all gunshot wounds." Samazaki Shimaji nodded in confirmation after inspecting the marks. "There are three obvious traces of penetrating wounds on the chest and shoulder."
< br>"...That is absolutely impossible." Nagisa Isogai, who had been silent, clenched his fists, turned his head to look at the deceased with a stunned expression and cloudy eyes staring ahead, and suddenly burst out, "If he Still alive, there is no reason not to come to us for 20 years! Ye Caisan is absolutely not this kind of person!”
"You are?" Looking at Isogai Nagisa's indignant look, Mouri Kogoro raised his eyebrows.
"Ye Caisan, he is my father! I took this trip just to find him." Nagisa Isogai pulled the corners of his lips without a smile and smiled bitterly.
With the last glimmer of hope, she boarded the ship, wanting to chase the phantom that had disappeared for so many years.
However, after just a brief contact with other passengers, the last glimmer of hope dissipated.
"If he had plastic surgery..." Samezaki Shimaji looked at the thin face of the deceased at his feet, pursed his lips and said.
"You underestimate me and the power of blood too much! Even if his appearance changes, I can't possibly recognize him! Moreover, if he finds out it's me, my father will never react like this." He squeezed tightly. The pendant on his chest, Isogai Nagisa gritted his teeth and said.
In order to recognize her father, she also carried the last relic that belonged to him, which was the pendant containing their photo.
If Ye Caisan was really on the boat and saw such a thing, he would never mistake her identity and he would never be indifferent to her arrival.
"Even if twenty years have passed..." Her voice lowered, her shoulders slumped, and belated tears rolled in her eyes.
"You are right, Miss Isogai Nagisa. Thank you for your personal confirmation."
Accompanied by firm footsteps, Hattori Heiji, with high eyebrows and a serious look on his face, strode up to them with traces of black and gray engine oil on his face.
"Let us misidentify this person and discover that he is Ye Caisan. We want to blame the murder motive on others. This is exactly the murderer's plan!"
He Standing still in front of everyone, he looked at Shizuo Whalei who was sitting on the ground with sharp eyes, and the flames in his chest were burning.
A despicable, cowardly villain...
Don't be defeated by such a guy, Karasawa!

“A sneeze——”
“I told you that jumping into the sea will definitely get cold.”
“Nonsense! Someone must be thinking about me behind my back. ! ”
