Can you avoid Conan's anesthetic needle today?

Chapter 16 16. Cruise Ship at Sea 5

"I mentioned to you before that Sakuragawa-san and Matsubara have a pretty good relationship."

"Well, is that why?" Nakamura Kaku did mention this on the deck in the morning, but since there is a third party involved, isn't this just a polite remark?

"Actually, Sakuragawa-san, she was a little unhappy about Miss Shiraha, but it seemed like she was just being upset and was easy to appease. Otherwise, she was almost completely obedient to Amasa."

"You're the type who's in love? Sakuragawa-nee doesn't look like that kind of person at all!"

"Ahaha, Amase is quite decent in disguise, otherwise I wouldn't have been deceived so badly by him. I don't know how such a person can go out with his lover and girlfriend, and act like he is very affectionate to his girlfriend every day. It's probably because of this that Sakuragawa has never been sure whether Amase is really cheating, after all, she has never caught him in the act."

Really? For example, last night, she said she saw Baisha Meixi go out, and if she followed her, she might be able to catch her.

"So every time Sister Sakuragawa gets angry about Sister Baisha, will he show kindness to Sister Sakuragawa?"

"That's impossible. He said that showing goodwill in this matter is just giving Sakuragawa a handle. Sakuragawa seems to be controlled by this kind of person. Every time he gets angry, he takes the initiative to make peace. I don't understand why women like men like this."

Sure enough, that person lied. Why? To thank the murderer for helping her kill someone? "Then have you told Sister Yingchuan everything you know?"

"How could I possibly say..."

"Then you have no right to blame her for making the wrong choice in this relationship. As an accomplice and bystander, you are also the one who pushed her into the abyss!"

"What are you talking about... What does it have to do with me... Sakuragawa is living a much better life than me! And I'm not telling her for her own good. With a guy like Amase, it won't be easy for Sakuragawa to leave him if she really wants to... He will definitely control her like he controls us... Right, it's best not to know anything!" Nakamura Kaku confirmed again and again as if to convince himself.

Edogawa Conan stopped listening to the mumblings of this pitiful and hateful man and turned away.

……

As Nogi Rina looked through the clues collected by the police, she had a vague suspicion in her mind, but based on the existing evidence, the people who had the greatest chance of putting sleeping pills were the three people who entered the deceased's room at noon. She couldn't find any breakthroughs, so she couldn't prove that they killed someone, nor could she really rule out any of them.

The weird feeling hidden under the concealed peace was just like everything they experienced after boarding the cruise ship. Maybe each of them lied, but with just the right tacit understanding, it was difficult for outsiders who suddenly arrived to find loopholes in the tiny lies.

That little detective who could discover everything was truly amazing. So what did he find in the surveillance video that he asked her to repeat just now? Why did he run away after looking at it and not come back for so long?

Is there something wrong with the lunch that Fujimiya Yuki brought over? But the main dish was not made by her, so let's see if there is any video of her in the kitchen.

"Aunt Yono, can you please play this video again from Sakuragawa Kazuki coming in?"

Conan, who was always elusive, ran up to her again and pointed fingers at her. "Kid, how can you not make any noise when you get close to her?"

Conan's perfect stealth skills startled Yonogi Rina. She took a deep breath and adjusted herself before she could tease him, "So being small enough means the Earth can ignore its gravity?"

"Let me see the previous video. I just heard the police uncle asking Sister Fujimiya questions. Maybe I can help Aunt Yono!" Conan Edogawa chose to ignore the unreliable adult's attempt to have fun and started his tried-and-true method of acting like a spoiled child.

"Conan, don't disturb your aunt at work."

"It's okay. Conan is so smart that he must have heard something important. Let him satisfy his detective addiction."

"..." What do you mean by satisfying your detective addiction? Solving the case is entirely up to me, okay?

……

"Fujimiya Yuki started making milk tea after Sakuragawa Yoshizuki talked to her, so who instructed her to do this is entirely up to her. My personal inclination is that she must have lied. People on this ship don't seem to be sociable if they don't hide something."

"Aunt Yono, you are amazing. You found the breakthrough right away!"

"……"Although what the aunt said is right, it is just a guess. Xiaolan really supports her.

Conan Edogawa left quietly again. The case was already very clear. The murderer was the most suspicious person at the beginning. He went to see if there was the thing he guessed. If he could find it, he could solve the case directly.

But it doesn't matter if they can't find the murderer. Although this hastily planned case looks perfect, there are too many loopholes that cannot be filled. Even if it's the police from the Metropolitan Police Department, as long as someone is willing to look for the person who has been taking sleeping pills for a long time, they will find the murderer sooner or later.

……

Conan tugged at the police officer who was registering the personal belongings of the people on the ship and said, "Why are you messing around here, kid? Go back and find an adult."

"Aunt Yono asked me to ask a question..."

"That detective, no wonder the kid she taught is so unruly. If she has any problem, tell her to come to me in person. Come on, come on, or I'll beat you up."

Damn it! It's very troublesome to do anything after my body becomes smaller, especially when I meet this rigid uncle! Conan could only turn around and leave helplessly.

The policeman was still cursing, "That woman really treats us all as her subordinates, asking questions all over the place. There are detectives like this everywhere making trouble..."

"Nakamura, the inspector asked you to find him."

"Hi!" The policeman turned around and didn't see who called him, but since it was the captain looking for him, he didn't dare to delay and ran out quickly.

Behind him, Edogawa Conan showed a bossy smile, done, this kind of rigid guy is really easy to fool.

Taking advantage of the time when the police officer was away, Conan Edogawa also found what he wanted.

Great! Next, it’s time for the mystery show.

"Aunt Yono, Officer Megure wants to see you."

Rina Yonogi, who was concentrating on studying the case, had no idea that this was a trap. After all, it had been a long time since the only time she was replaced. Today, because she sympathized with Shirasa Miyu's experience, she had been analyzing the case seriously with Xiaolan. She had no idea that the young detective had already figured out everything and was about to give her the anesthetic needle of fate, but she was stabbed.

Before falling, Rina Yonogi only thought, if the murderer has this thing, who can solve the case?

I made this case too confusing. I don't feel comfortable writing or reading it. It's hard to change it. I'll try to change the writing style next time I write something original.

When I was writing about the mug, I was thinking that it would be a great idea to use it in a comic. Or maybe I was just feeling guilty, but I felt it would be awkward to list the furnishings in the house and specifically mention a mug, so I didn't write about the scene and only mentioned it when looking for clues.
