Xingchen ran all the way to the end of the corridor, his eyes fixed on the doorplate marking Room 101, his heart beating like a drum.

If his speculation is correct, the real murderer is hiding inside.

There were many reasons why he didn't take Conan and the others with him, but most of them were due to his own selfishness and guilt.

He stretched out his hand without hesitation and gently turned the doorknob. With a crisp "click", the door opened.

The door was not locked. This discovery made Xingchen's heart tremble. He said nothing, gently pushed open the door, and stepped into the unknown abyss.

When he turned around, the darkness was as dark as ink, but it could not hide the figure of the man standing in front of the table.

The man sneered, revealing his white teeth, and said calmly, "You're here."

His tone revealed that he had been waiting here for a long time.

The door behind Xingchen closed quietly, with another "click", as if nothing had happened.

However, the lights in room 101 suddenly lit up, and Xingchen stared at the man in front of him, his voice calm and firm: "Mr. Xin Alai Xiu, no, I should call you Arai Xiuzhen, right?"

“Humph, I didn’t expect that you, Jian Nanchun, who has lost your memory and turned into a child, can still remember my identity and name.” Arai Xiuzhen spread his hands and sneered.

……

"Kudo!" Hattori Heiji saw Conan standing in front of the open wooden box and hurried to his side.

Conan stared into the box with a serious expression without even turning his head. Hattori Heiji also looked in, and saw Kanie lying quietly with his eyes closed for a long time, with a conspicuous mark on his neck clearly visible.

After a quick look, Hattori Heiji deduced that the deceased must have been knocked unconscious first and then strangled with something like a hemp rope.

"Those three sentences were not actually smokescreens." Hattori Heiji suddenly realized.

"That's right, Hattori, look, there is another sentence here." Conan lay on the box and pointed at the words on the wall of the box above the corpse.

Hattori Heiji took a closer look and read: "'It's over. I will return to the starting point with my shadow.' I didn't expect the murderer to be right under our noses, hiding in plain sight."

"Well, it seems that the murderer deliberately lured us here."

"We found the 10,000 yen on the wooden box. When we focused on the words on the 10,000 yen."

"The murderer detonated the first aid kit at the stern of the ship and then let us find the body. He let us treat the contents of the note as a smoke bomb, thinking that the contents were just to prevent us from finding the body in advance." Conan speculated.

"But if uncle and former detective Samezaki search the contents, it will be easily revealed."

"When the wooden box was opened, the first layer inside was covered with a layer of plastic sheeting and a rope was used to pretend that one end of the plastic sheet was tied up, so that the uncle would mistakenly believe that it was something tied up and that no one would hide inside."

"But in fact, if you look carefully, the plastic sheet is not tied up." Hattori Heiji said as he picked up the plastic sheet on the ground.

"This guy is very bold. He is even very confident in his plan." Conan said seriously, touching his chin. At the same time, he wondered in his heart what Xingchen had thought that made him leave alone.

What secrets are hidden in these three sentences?

Could it be that there is actually a puzzle in it?

……

Boom-!

Xingchen was hit hard against the door panel, his body slid down with gravity, and finally fell to the ground.

"Li, you didn't expect that. I'm still alive. I found you alive just to let you taste the pain I once tasted." Arai Shushin pulled out the embedded card from the table, stared at the King of Spades on it, and spoke slowly.

A pistol fell to the ground, rolled a few times and hit the side of the bed.

The two had just had a fight, which started when Xingchen saw Arai Xiuzhen pick up a pistol.

Xingchen threw a card, intending to knock down his pistol.

Unexpectedly, Arai Shushin threw his pistol away to block the card.

One corner of the card is embedded in the table.

Then he rushed to Xingchen, grabbed his collar, and slammed him against the door.

"Painful, isn't it?" Xingchen sneered in a low voice.

"Hmph..." Arai Shujin narrowed his eyes, looked at Xingchen's appearance, and recalled the past.

But now, all he had left was disgust.

"Have your contemplation, calmness, and meticulous planning been devoured by your rage for revenge?" Xingchen got up from the ground, covered his chest, stared at the person in front of him and questioned, "Then why don't you think about why you were able to survive?"

"Why did the flying knife pierce your left chest?" Xingchen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and continued, "Do you think I don't know where your heart is?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Arai Shujin shouted frantically, shaking his hands, "It's obviously the goddess of luck who is protecting me!"

"Really? At that time in the coffee shop downstairs from the office, Bourbon came for you, right?" Xingchen said with narrowed eyes.

"You're right. In order to find you, I was indeed discovered by the organization." Arai Xiuzhen looked at Xingchen and said lightly in this small room.

"You clearly had many opportunities to kill me, why did you wait until now?" Xingchen closed his eyes and continued to question.

"It's because you can never believe in reality in your heart, and you came here under the guise of revenge, just to question me."

"Am I right, Arai?" Xingchen opened his eyes and stared at the man in front of him.

Arai Shujin then threw the card to the ground, when Xingchen thought he was convinced by him.

He picked up the pistol on the ground, walked to Xingchen, squatted down, looked him in the eye, and said calmly: "They should have found the last body by now."

Seeing this, Xingchen thought to himself that he seemed to be deliberately avoiding the topic.

why is that! ?

"So, there will be a new corpse here." Arai Xiuzhen pointed the gun at Xingchen's forehead and said lightly.

Xingchen's eyes widened instantly, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and he thought to himself, it seems that I can't fulfill Xiaoai's wish.

"Goodbye, Lee."

The moment the words fell.

A gunshot was heard on the boat, bang!

Everyone on the roof of the boat heard the sound and looked in the direction of the gunshot.

Kogoro Mori and Shimaharu Samezaki rushed over after hearing that Hattori Heiji had found the body, and were speculating about what had happened.

Mao Lilan also came with Mao Li Kogoro. She stared at Conan who was investigating the box and felt that Conan looked more and more like...

Like Shinichi.

Because now the more Mao Lilan thought about that incident, the more she felt something was wrong, because Kudo Shinichi ran over in the rain just to see her.

This is too weird, it feels more like someone is helping him out.

Kogoro Mori believed that it must be Ye Caisan who hid in the hold and killed his other three companions.

Before Samezaki Shimaharu could ask Kogoro Mori why, he heard gunshots.

"There came the sound of gunfire!" Samezaki Shimaji's face changed, he stood up and shouted.

"It seems to be the stern!" Kogoro Mouri turned his head and looked behind him, saying towards the stern.

"Damn it, Mori. You go to the other side and we'll outflank them!" Samezaki Shimaharu shouted with clenched fists.
