Ming Ke: When the villain accidentally mixes into the protagonist group

"Ms. Dark Horse voted NO." The host sorted out the ballots in his hand and announced the final result. "Let's congratulate Mr. Siamese Cat and Ms. Dark Horse. Congratulations to them for winning the letters B and C."

Bourbon secretly gritted his teeth. He had never expected that the dark horse woman in the wheelchair would vote the same as him. He almost eliminated her.

"It seems that we are the luckiest ones." The black horse woman looked at Bourbon with a smile on her face.

Bourbon had his usual smile on his face and said with emotion: "You are too brave. Aren't you afraid that the free man will choose NO like us, and then we will both be eliminated?"

The black horse woman stared at Bourbon, trying to find the flaws on his face, but unfortunately she couldn't see anything. She rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Isn't life a gamble?"

"It seems like you are an expert at this." Bourbon looked at the dark horse woman in front of him, feeling a little nervous.

"That free man is actually yours, right?" The dark horse woman put forward her speculation directly. After all, she didn't think that the Siamese cat in front of her would do anything without confidence.

The dark horse woman calculated the situation in her mind:

If the Siamese cat wants to win, the team member controlled by the Siamese cat will definitely choose YES, and the free man will also choose YES to ensure the Siamese cat wins.

If you want to stop the Siamese cat from winning, there is only one way, that is, you and your team members all vote NO, but you will also be eliminated.

Therefore, it is basically hopeless to eliminate Siamese cats.

On the other hand, if the Siamese cat wants to eliminate her, he just needs to let her vote YES. After all, before this, they both have always cast the same vote, and neither can eliminate the other.

After thinking everything through, the dark horse woman decisively voted NO, just like the Siamese cat.

At this moment, Bourbon's heart skipped a beat after hearing the question from the black horse woman. Although he had expected that she would be suspicious, he did not expect her to say it directly. However, Bourbon did not panic and said calmly, "At first, I wanted to get him into my team, but unfortunately I failed."

The dark horse woman didn't believe a word the Siamese cat said. "I don't know how long we can continue to work together. After that, it will be the elimination round."

"Ms. Dark Horse, why on earth do you want to participate in the game?"

"I'm short of money. Looking at those sparkling gems, I'm very moved. It would be great if all those jewels were mine." The black horse woman said with a longing look on her face. "What about you, Mr. Siamese cat?"

Bourbon pretended to be embarrassed and scratched his cheek. "Actually, I don't have any aspirations. It's just that she has already obtained the letter brand, and I am worried that she will be in danger in the next competition, so I did this."

"Are you talking about Miss Gray Rabbit or Miss Pink Rabbit?" The black horse woman pretended to be confused, rolled her eyes, and said with a smile, "If I hadn't met those two Miss Rabbits, I might have died on the seventh floor."

Bourbon knew he couldn't lie about this, because he had already admitted to many people that he was in cahoots with the man wearing the wolf mask, and that he was controlling their votes by claiming to return their property. It must be said that if it weren't for Mingyue's card-drawing game, he wouldn't have won so easily.

"Gray Rabbit, she is my sister." Bourbon's lips curled slightly, and he looked so happy that the black horse woman felt a little sad.

Bourbon looked at the letter name tag in his hand. It was made of metal and had the letter B spelled out with diamonds. "What will happen if I fail in the next game?"

"Who knows? Maybe he will die." The black horse woman turned her wheelchair and prepared to leave the room.

As the host opened the door, the people who had been waiting outside for a long time rushed into the room and went straight to Bourbon. However, after seeing the letter name tag in Bourbon's hand, they did not come forward, but surrounded Bourbon.

"Everyone, what's going on?" Bourbon recognized at a glance that these were the people he had promised to return their property to, but why were they gathered here? What happened? A strong sense of uneasiness swept over Bourbon, and his bad premonition became stronger and stronger.

This group of people pushed each other, and finally the woman wearing the armadillo mask was pushed in front of Bourbon.

"Are you really Wolf Mask's companion?"

"They are indeed my companions." Bourbon's tone was firm, but his heart was beating fast. He couldn't help but worry about Hiro. Could something have happened to Hiro?

"You're talking nonsense!" a middle-aged man in the crowd shouted angrily, "The Kirima family only exchanged the people who were in the same room with the wolf-masked man, and they didn't return our property to us at all."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd became excited.

"You're a liar!"

"Yes! Big liar!"

Accusations, insults, and all kinds of dirty words are heard everywhere.

Bourbon quickly said, "Don't panic, I will tell Gray Rabbit about this, and I will do what I promised everyone." Bourbon guessed that this was probably Mingyue's fault. After all, he didn't say hello to her, and it was normal for children to throw tantrums. However, he might need Hiro's help this time.

"Gray Rabbit, Gray Rabbit is gone. There's no way you can fulfill your promise!"

"Maybe he's dead."

"If you find the gray rabbit, you will get 100 million. Don't waste your time here."

"It's more than 100 million. The Mafia also has a bounty."

"Hmph! Liar!"

The moment Bourbon heard this information, his mind went blank. Without hesitation, he pushed through the crowd, rushed out of the room, and looked for the gray figure in the busy corridor.

The black horse woman sitting in the wheelchair watched Bourbon leave, recalling how Bourbon introduced the relationship between him and Gray Rabbit, she frowned in confusion and thought: There is no record in the information that the lady has such a dark-skinned, golden-haired brother, but from her performance just now, it doesn't seem like she is pretending.

Bourbon grabbed a searchlight and quickly scanned the sea. He suddenly remembered the time when the searchlight appeared and the speed of the cruise ship. He thought that even if he checked every wave in this sea area, he would probably find the shadow of the unknown moon.

Looking at the surging sea water under the light, Bourbon decided to find Hiro or Lei first, as they must have a lot of information.

The cold sea breeze was wet and salty, like a bunch of icy knives stabbing into Fūya Rei's body.

In a cabin, a scarlet hedgehog-haired man was reporting to Kirima Soichi that they had dismantled many bombs. "These bombs can be remotely controlled. After testing, the control range is not large. It can be inferred that the person controlling the bombs should still be on the Augus cruise ship."

The fingertips of Kirima Souichi holding the coin turned slightly white, and his weather-beaten eyes slightly closed. His voice was as steady as usual, "Investigate, investigate thoroughly, who betrayed me. Xuanxiao, I'll leave this matter to you."

"I'm investigating." The scarlet hedgehog-haired man muttered with a wandering gaze, "Sir, you know I hate doing things like investigating. I'd rather have a fight with someone."

"Sir, how about I..." Shi Shen glanced at the hedgehog-headed guy, but his next words were interrupted by Kirima Souichi.

“Ha.” Kirima Soichi sneered, “I’m not dead yet, and you guys are…”

Shi Shen was the first to bow his head, "I dare not."

The crimson hedgehog-headed man bowed deeply and said, "Sir, I'll check it right away." Then he left in a hurry.

"Dad, are you doubting Xuan Xiao? He shouldn't betray us." Da Qi looked at the figure of the crimson hedgehog-headed man leaving with a frown.

Kirima Souichi was still stroking the coin on his fingertips. He glanced at his good-for-nothing son, then looked at Naoko, who was standing behind Daqi with her head lowered and her hands hanging down, and asked, "Naoko, what do you think about this?"

The named Honami Naoko seemed to be frightened. She quickly raised her head to look at Kirima Soichi, then quickly came to her senses and slowly lowered her head. She didn't dare to look at Kirima Soichi again. "I... I was just thinking about the notice from the Phantom Thief Crow and how to get rid of the woman next to Mr. Mori. I didn't pay much attention to what was said just now."

"Are you still blaming me for inviting the Maori family to the ship, only to put them in danger?"

Naoko Beehoo waved her hands quickly, "No, I didn't. I know that if we hadn't given away that ticket, the Mori family who saved me and Daqi might have been killed by those people long ago. After all, those people will do anything to achieve their goals and are cruel and ruthless..." Naoko Beehoo's voice became smaller and smaller.

"What news has come from Japan?"

Shi Shen reported respectfully, "Sir, the people we arranged to guard near the Maori Detective Agency have sent a message saying that the female employee of the Poirot Cafe called the police. The Investigation Division has already intervened in the investigation, but there has been no news of the hostage being rescued."

Beeping Naoko breathed a sigh of relief.

The cold sea breeze stirred up layers of waves, and the surging waves hit the dark rocks.

Megure Jusan rubbed his sore nose. After receiving the report yesterday, he had been working all day, and fatigue swept over his body. After learning about the situation from Kudo Shinichi, Megure Jusan dragged his heavy steps and climbed to the villa that had been burned down by the fire again.

The snow on the top of the mountain melted very slowly. He squatted on the gravel path, trying to find some clues about the place where Mao Lilan was attacked.

Now the Mori family is missing, and the phone call that Mori Kogoro made to Enomoto Azusa was very ambiguous. But if you take out the numbers in what Mori Kogoro said, you can get the answer, and if you change it into letters, it's SOS.

Megure Juzo let out a breath. Fortunately, Enomoto Azusa had read a lot of mystery novels and noticed the digital information in the conversation, otherwise he would not have called the police so quickly. However, Mouri Kogoro used a satellite phone, so it was difficult to track his specific location.

However, it can be confirmed from this that Kogoro Mouri is not with Ran Mouri. As for Eri Kisaki, Megure Juzo has been to Eri Kisaki's law firm, but Midori Kuriyama told Megure Juzo that Eri Kisaki had already taken a cruise ship yesterday and her destination was London, England. As for the rest, he knows nothing.

Immediately, Megure Juzo arranged for police officers to run to all the docks in Tokyo, but they were unable to find out which cruise ship had left the port and headed for the UK.

Megure Juzo could only re-sort out the information that Mori Kogoro had relayed to him by Enomoto Azusa.

From the fact that Kogoro Mouri called out Ran the moment the phone was connected, Megure Juzo deduced that the criminal must be trying to achieve some purpose by holding Ran Mouri hostage and controlling Kogoro Mouri.

This means that in the short term, Mouri Ran will probably not be in any danger, but if Mouri Kogoro fails to fulfill the other party's request, or if any friction occurs afterwards, then Mouri Ran's life will be in danger.

As for what Kogoro Mouri said before hanging up the phone, "Your mother wants to tell you something", Megure Juzo and Kudo Yusaku had discussed it seriously.

Megure Juzo tends to believe that Kisaki Eri should be by Kogoro Mori's side at this time.

However, Kudo Yusaku disagrees with this view, and instead feels that someone is forcing Maori Kogoro to hand over the phone, and Maori Kogoro deliberately said this in order to inform Enomoto Azusa on the other side of the phone. But if this call was made in front of the criminal, then it would be a bit strange to say such a thing.

What message does Maori Kogoro want to convey? Where is Kisaki Eri? Is she with Maori Kogoro, or is she being controlled by someone like Maori Ran?

Neither Megure Juzo nor Kudo Yusaku could come up with a definite answer, but there is golden time for rescue.

More than twenty hours had passed since he received the alarm. Megure Jusan regretted that he did not have enough information. A feeling of powerlessness swept over him, and he felt uneasy about the situation of the Mori family.

The night was as cold as water. Kudo Shinichi tossed and turned in bed, worried about Mouri Ran and unable to sleep at all.

In the study of Kudo's house, Yusaku sat at the table, looking through the reports of the past few days, staring at the information about the rescue of the jewelry tycoon's son in a daze.

The cold wind was howling on the top of the mountain. Megure Jusan held down his hat. He squatted on the ground, holding up a flashlight, checking every place, trying to find clues.

Megure Juzo suspects that the person who attacked Mouri Ran and the person who kidnapped Mouri Ran may be the same person. As for this person's motive for the crime, it is still unknown, but the fact that he was able to control the Mouri family at the same time means that it may be a group crime and there may be more than one criminal.

Thinking of this, Megure Jusan frowned even more tightly. The kidnappers who had kidnapped the jewel tycoon's son had not been caught yet, and now the Mori family was missing, and the cruise ship from Tokyo to London was like a ghost ship that had never appeared.

All the puzzles are like the inky black night sky above our heads. Even if we try hard to see, they are blocked by thick clouds. We can’t see the stars or the moon.

On the Augus cruise ship, Maori Kogoro stared at the cornflower sapphire in the display case for a long time. This gem was the target of those people. If he had obtained the letter name tag, Xiaolan and Eri would definitely be safe now, but...

Kogoro Mori gritted his teeth. The cabin was in chaos and he had no intention of caring what was happening. On this cruise ship full of murderous intent, the people from the Kirima family were not trustworthy. So what should he do?

Will Rose contact her accomplices via satellite phone? Will Xiaolan and Eri be killed? Did Miss Enomoto call the police? One after another, questions popped up in Maori Kogoro's mind, and all the questions were like a rope wrapped around his neck, strangling him so that he couldn't breathe.

Kogoro Maori paced around the cruise ship in annoyance. He wanted to use the satellite phone to call for help, but he was worried that those satellite phones were being eavesdropped by the owner of the cruise ship, just as Ross said.

Once you call the police, or the message for help is eavesdropped, will you be killed like the undercover police officer?

Kogoro Mori was in a state of unrest, and unknowingly he walked into an empty corridor. When he came to his senses, he smelled a strong smell of blood, and a man's low voice sounded in his ears.

"I understand. I will take care of these things. You..." The man who spoke was wearing a black tuxedo and a gray mask. He closed his mouth the moment he saw Kogoro Mouri.

Maori Kogoro suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right, and he scratched the back of his head, "Sorry, I seem to be lost, where is this?"

The man wearing a gray mask said in a low voice: "This is the sixth floor. Mr. Brown Bear is still on this floor. I suggest you leave quickly." Then he pointed in a direction and said, "Turn right ahead. There are stairs. It's so late, you should go to bed early. The rooms should have been cleaned."

"Thank you, thank you." Kogoro Mouri left in the direction the man pointed, his heart full of vigilance. Feeling the gaze behind him, he did not dare to look back.
