Conan's Almighty Extraction

Time passed slowly, and before you knew it, twelve midnight had passed.

"The time has passed and we can no longer touch this case."

The group leader, whose face looked much older, walked into the entertainment room from the outside, and chuckled lightly at himself: "Hehe, to be honest, I quit my job as a criminal police officer two years ago, and I haven't been here for a long time. That's the qualification."

"Team leader." Mori Kogoro wanted to comfort Team Leader Saki, but he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

Team leader Sakizaki walked to the bar and asked the bartender for a glass of wine. Seeing this, Kogoro Mori followed and drank with him.

Hattori Heiji looked at the two people who were drinking to relieve their worries, and said puzzledly: "Even if this is the case he was in charge of investigating in the past, he is too involved, right?"

Shirayan Maha shrugged and said with emotion: "This is probably the duty of the so-called police."

Not long after, Sadao Kwaii also came back, so everyone continued the previous poker game.

However, just after everyone played a few more rounds of the game, there was a sudden loud bang on the deck outside.

Xiaolan looked up at Baiyan Zhenyu suspiciously, and asked, "Brother Zhenyu, what was that sound just now?"

"It's gunshots, Xiao Lan, you stay here and stay safe."

Shirayan Maha stood up with a serious expression, and after giving Xiaolan a word, ran to the deck together with Mori Kogoro and others.

On the way to the deck, Team Leader Samezaki asked Mori Kogoro, "Mouri, what time is it?"

Mori Kogoro hurriedly took out his watch, glanced at it, and replied, "Team leader, 12:08."

"Flag, the flag is on fire!"

When everyone came to the deck, they were surprised to find that the flag on the mast had been set on fire by someone.

"What was that sound just now?"

"What happened?"

Minoru Ebina and Nagisa Isogai, who left the entertainment room earlier, also came to the deck at this time, asking everyone what happened just now.

Bai Yanmao turned his eyes and found a banknote nailed to a bench not far from the mast with a knife, and quickly reminded: "Uncle, Police Officer Samezaki, look over there!"

Everyone walked over to take a look and found that it was an old 1 yuan banknote from the Showa era, with a line of writing written in black ink on it.

"Poseidon, the god of the sea, has given me life again, and my shadow will be resurrected again." Team leader Samezaki put on the white gloves that he carried with him, took off the knife and banknotes, and read the words on them.

After listening to the words of Team Leader Sakizaki, Tadao Kei suddenly broke out in a layer of cold sweat, staggered and retreated to the fence, and said in horror: "So he is still alive! I knew he, he, he must be alive In the world!"

Everyone was confused, and when they were about to ask questions, there was a sudden explosion at the stern of the ship, which plunged the passenger ship into chaos for a while.

"The location of the explosion is at the stern, let's go and have a look."

When everyone rushed to the stern, they found that the box containing the emergency life-saving ladder was burning, and there seemed to be a human-shaped object inside.

"There's a man in the fire!"

After Hattori Heiji's exclamation, Shiraiwa Maha and Mori Kogoro found fire extinguishing equipment, and quickly extinguished the fire.

Team leader Sakizaki squatted down, looked at the charred corpse inside, hammered the ground hard, and said unwillingly: "Damn it, it's all burnt, now there's no way to know the exact time of death and The true identity of this scorched corpse."

Mori Kogoro nodded, guessing: "Yes, maybe the corpse in front of me is the Tatsuai-san who disappeared from the boat."

Group leader Sakizaki was taken aback when he heard the words, then shook his head and said, "No, nothing can be determined until the details are investigated."

"Could that person be Mr. Kanie?"

Bai Yanzhenyu took a step forward, pointed to the wrist of the corpse and reminded: "Look, look at the watch on his hand. I remember that when he was playing cards, he was wearing the watch made of gold. watch."

"After you say so."

Group leader Sakizaki inspected the corpse carefully again, touched his chin and said, "Although the corpse is burned beyond recognition, this sweater is indeed very similar to the one he was wearing."

"I remember the same pair of pants." Mori Kogoro nodded.

"But it's really funny."

Isogai chuckled softly, pointed at the corpse under everyone's puzzled eyes, and said, "Look at his posture, he specially bent his arms to follow his upper body, as if he wanted to show off his gold watch to us." .”

"This is called thermal stiffness. When a corpse encounters a fire, the skeletal muscles will solidify and shrink under the action of heat, which in turn causes thermal stiffness."

Bai Yanzhenyu shook his head and explained: "The muscles of the hands and feet after bending are much stronger than the muscles stretched, so all the joints will be in a bent state, which is somewhat similar to the appearance of a boxer. That is to say, the corpses burned by fire will naturally appear like this."

"Oh, that's it..." After listening to Shiraiwa Maha's explanation, Isogai Nagisa showed a sudden realization.

Bai Yanzhenyu went to the corpse and squatted down, carefully looked at the watch on the corpse's wrist, and said suspiciously: "Uncle, I think there is something wrong with the strap of the watch."

"Watch strap?" Mori Kogoro leaned over to look at the strap, and asked puzzledly, "Is there something wrong with the strap?"

Before Shiraiwa Maha could answer, Hattori Heiji, who also found doubts, answered first: "The strap of the watch is too loose."

"What's this?"

Mori Kogoro seemed a little unconcerned, pointing to a small petrol can not far away, reasoning: "The can must have rolled near the corpse, and then exploded because the gasoline inside leaked out, and the strap was blown loose. It's a normal thing."

"I think so too," Team Leader Samezaki agreed with Mori Kogoro's point of view, and echoed, "The plastic sheet that originally covered the box should have been blown apart at that time."

"Plastic sheet?" Shiraiwa Maha looked around suspiciously, but didn't find any plastic sheet.

"correct."

Mori Kogoro pointed to another object more than ten meters away that was completely wrapped in plastic sheeting, and explained: "When the team leader and I came here to find Tatsuzai, we covered it with a sheet of plastic sheeting. Just like that one."

While looking for clues in the ashes, Bai Yanmao asked casually: "Then uncle, have you checked?"

"The plastic sheeting was tightened from the outside, so we didn't check it."

Kogoro Mori shook his head, and replied: "But Mr. Kanie was definitely not in this box at the time, because when I returned to the entertainment room, Mr. Kanie was still there."

"Is that so?" Bai Yanmao nodded clearly, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he found something that was not quite right.
