The Split-Actress in Conan's World

When they returned to the lounge, they found that there was already someone inside.

"Oh, you are the detective, right?" Isogai Nagisa looked at Hattori Heiji with a slight smile on her beautiful face.

"Looks quite young."

"Of course, I'm a high school student." Hattori Heiji touched his face.

"So have you found Ye Sancai?" She turned her gaze to Rin Chiyu and Mao Lilan.

"No, my dad is still looking for it."

Conan looked thoughtfully at Sadao Kujirai at another table. He was holding a lighter at the moment, as if he wanted to light the cigarette in his mouth, but he couldn't make it light up, and looked a little anxious.

"Hi." Suddenly a hand was placed on his shoulder.

Kanie Jiku held up his lighter, looked at him with a weird smile on his face and said, "Do you need this?"

"Ah...thank you." Kujirai Sadao gave a very forced smile.

At another table, Minoru Ebina secretly watched the scene out of the corner of his eye, taking sips of the wine in his glass.

"Let's play poker," suggested Isogai Nagisa.

"I brought playing cards."

She shouted to the people at the other two tables, "Would you like to join us? We are free anyway."

A group of people started playing cards.

Rinshakuha and Hattori Heiji looked at each other and saw a hint of sadness in each other's eyes.

Sure enough, in the first game of Blackjack they played, Mao Lilan broke through the siege and won first place.

"It looks quite simple." She said excitedly, holding the cards in her hand.

Time passed little by little.

I don't know which round they were in when Ebina Minoru suddenly asked Kanie Jiku, who was standing beside him, "Do you know what time it is now?"

Kanie Jiku rolled up his sleeves and looked at his watch: "Five minutes to twelve."

Hattori Heiji's eyes flashed sharply: "You have been paying attention to the time. Is there something wrong?"

"Ah, tomorrow is a very important day for me." Ebina Minoru said vaguely.

Isogai Nagisa held her chin with one hand, raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and said jokingly: "Could it be the anniversary of your lover's death?"

"Huh?" Ebina Minoru looked a little confused.

"Because you drank Bloody Mary." Isogai Nagisa lowered her eyes slightly.

"Could it be the day that the beloved princess died?"

"That's not the case." Ebina Minoru laughed dryly.

Rin Chiyu blinked and asked Hattori Heiji beside him: "You didn't come out for dinner, aren't you hungry?"

"It's okay. I'm a little seasick, so I don't have much appetite." Hattori Heiji touched his head, looking a little shy.

"If I remember correctly, Mr. Adam was also in the room during dinner and didn't come out to eat. Is that okay?" Lin Chiyu looked at the waiter again.

"Actually, the gentleman did call us, and his dinner was ready and delivered to the room." The waiter smiled politely and did not get angry because his service level was questioned.

Just when everyone was getting tired of playing, Kogoro Mouri pushed open the door dejectedly and walked in. He pulled over a chair and sat down.

"Dad, haven't you found Ye Sancai yet?" Mao Lilan paid some attention to him.

"I can't find it anywhere." Uncle Maori slumped in his chair in frustration.

"What about the other uncle who was originally a policeman?" asked Hattori Heiji.

"He said he wanted to find the last second."

So tenacious.

Conan felt strange, why was the old detective so obsessed?

"It's getting late. I should go back to my room and rest." Kanie Jiku stood up and looked at his watch, looking a little relaxed.

Ebina Minoru was also about to leave the table: "Me too..."

Isogai Nagisa called the waiter over: "Excuse me, how much did I drink?"

"Well, two martinis..." The waiter looked at the bill and calculated.

"Eh?" Minoru Ebina, who had just stood up, touched his pocket and suddenly shouted in panic.

"My wallet is missing!"

Kanie Jiku handed over a black wallet. "Is this it? I found it in the corridor earlier."

"Oh, that's right." Ebina Minoru took the wallet from him, opened it and checked it with a worried look on his face.

"I won't steal your money." Kanie Jiku was a little unhappy.

Ebina Minoru didn't even raise his head: "Sorry, I was just worried that it might fall out when I dropped it."

The businessman Kujirai Sadao adjusted his tie, stood up, and walked out of the room with his fat body.

"Is Mr. Kujirai going back too?" Ran Mouri asked in confusion, looking at the unfinished drink at his seat.

"No, I'm just going to the bathroom and will be back soon." Kujirai Sadao smiled generously.

He walked out of the room, and the old detective Samezaki Shimaji passed by him and walked in, looking very unwilling, with fatigue in his eyes.

"The time has come... From now on there is nothing we can do to them."

He picked up an opened bottle of rye whiskey on the table next to him and took a big gulp.

His hair was already half white, and he looked even older.

"Too."

He put down the bottle and grinned bitterly: "I resigned two years ago. I am no longer qualified to arrest them."

After a moment of silence, he suddenly laughed with relief, grabbed Kogoro Mori's arm and pulled him up from the chair.

He stuffed the bottle in his hand into Maori Kogoro's arms and said, "Drink it, Maori. Today is my treat. Let's drink to our heart's content!"

Hattori Heiji came between Rinshakuha and Conan with a strange expression and whispered: "That uncle is so weird."

"Although this is a case he has investigated before, he seems to be too enthusiastic about this incident, right?"

"Indeed." Conan was overjoyed to see that his friend had the same opinion as him.

He blinked his big eyes and looked at Lin Shayu, hoping that he would join their camp.

However, Lin Chiyu had no expression. He just clicked a few times on his phone and then displayed an interface in front of the two.

"What is this?" Hattori Heiji recognized that it seemed to be a piece of news.

"A report on the robbery that happened 20 years ago."

Rin Chiyu moved his fingers slightly and called out another email: "Because I felt it was strange, I asked a senior in the Suzuki Group to help investigate it."

"Remember the bank employee who was killed by the robbers in the report?"

He pulled up a headshot, which was a woman with a sweet smile.

"Samezaki Miumi, the biological daughter of that police officer."

"I see." Hattori and Conan nodded in sudden realization.

"No wonder he is so persistent when facing the murderer who killed his daughter."

The three of them looked at the old detective who was drinking bitterly, and they all had a new feeling.

What an unfortunate poor man.

Snapped! !

Just as the atmosphere in the lounge was becoming heavy, a crisp sound was heard from outside the cabin.

"What's that sound?" Mao Lilan turned around and looked out the window.

"It seems to be coming from the deck above..." Uncle Maori put down the bottle, his eyes serious.

"It's gunshots!" Samezaki Shimaharu immediately took action, opened the door and rushed out, "Mori, check the time!"

"Yes, it's twelve:08 midnight!" Uncle Maori quickly got up and followed.

Several people quickly came to the deck, and when they looked up, they saw the burning ship's flag.

"The flag is burning..."

Isogai Nagisa and Ebina Toshi, who had said they were going back to their rooms, also came up and asked, "What was that noise just now?"

Rinshakuha watched as Hattori Heiji and Conan ran to the front of the deck and squatted beside the mast.

On the mast, an old banknote was pierced by a knife and stuck to the pillar.

"The sea god Poseidon gave life, and the shadow under the moon was resurrected..."

Hattori Heiji read out the words written on the banknote word by word with a solemn expression.

“Help, help!!!”

Kujirai Sadao, who arrived late, sat down on the ground, his eyes full of fear.

He pointed at the old banknote and unconsciously shouted: "Still alive..."

"He is indeed, he is still alive!!"

boom! ! !

Almost within seconds of his strange action, a huge cloud of smoke rose from the stern of the ship, and the thick black smoke blended into the night.

"What is it this time?" Uncle Maori complained angrily.

Several people lay on the railing on the edge of the deck and looked towards where the smoke was coming from.

"It looks like something is burning at the stern." Lin Chiyu narrowed his eyes and came to a simple conclusion.

It took some effort to run from the bow to the stern before everyone could see clearly what was on fire.

"It's a box containing an emergency escape ladder." Kogoro Mouri covered his nose and frowned.

"Hey, someone come put out the fire!"

He turned around and ordered the crew members who were standing there in shock.

"Damn it, who did it?"

"No!" Hattori Heiji's eyes were sharp, and his face darkened for a moment, "There's someone inside!"

After a while, the crew brought the fire extinguishers on board and put out the burning box.

"It's beyond recognition." Samezaki Shimaji squatted down to check the condition of the body in the box and shook his head regretfully.

"Now it's even difficult to tell the identities."

"He is most likely Ye Sancai who has disappeared for a long time." Uncle Maori looked at the corpse, showing his detective qualities brilliantly, and guessed.

"Let's find out more before making any conclusion." Samezaki Shimaji did not comment.

"Um," the honest-looking man with glasses, Minoru Ebina, raised his hand, "Could this be Mr. Kanie?"

He pointed to the gold watch hanging on the corpse's arm: "I remember when I asked him the time before, he was wearing this gold watch."

"Indeed, although it is burnt black, if you look closely, you can recognize that this is Mr. Kanie's sweater." Samezaki Shimaharu rubbed the burnt fibers and nodded slightly.

"But why would Mr. Kanie..." Ran Mouri covered her mouth.

Hattori Heiji walked to the side, leaned down to look at the curled arms of the corpse, and sighed: "It's so tragic, the corpse is so hot that it's stiff."

"Heat stiffness?" Isogai Nagisa looked over, not quite understanding.

“It’s a special phenomenon of death.”

Lin Chiyu took a photo of the corpse and explained to the others, "For bodies that died in a fire, bones and muscles will often coagulate and shrink due to the heat."

"Since there are more muscles in the arms and legs, the joints will be pulled when they are contracted, making a kneeling posture, and the arms will be folded up, making it look like they are cheering themselves up."

"...You detectives really know a lot." Isogai Nagisa said with a complicated expression.

Lin Chiyu didn't know how to respond to this question, so he pretended not to hear it.

Conan suddenly pulled his trouser leg and pointed at the gold watch: "Look at this watch strap, it's loose."

Uncle Maori squatted down to take a look and found that it was indeed loose.

But he didn't take it seriously and waved his hand casually: "It must have been bounced off when the gasoline tank that caused the explosion exploded."

"It's like the plastic sheet covering the box."

Hattori Heiji keenly grasped a new clue: "Plastic sheet?"

"Well, when Officer Samezaki and I came here to look for Ye Sancai, this box was covered with a piece of plastic sheet with 'Emergency Escape Ladder' written on it."

"Then did you lift it up and take a look?" Hattori Heiji asked.

Uncle Maori looked at him sideways, looking speechless: "Who would be so bored as to lift up a plastic sheet with words like that written on it?"

"Anyway, there must have been no one in the box at that time, because when I returned to the lounge, Mr. Kanie was still playing cards with you, right?"

Samezakijima Jikyū stared at Hattori Heiji for a while, then leaned over to Maori Kogoro's ear and whispered, "Who is this guy?"

"His name is Hattori Heiji, and he's the son of the Osaka Prefectural Metropolitan Police Department chief." Mori Kogoro said sadly.

"He's Heizo's son, no wonder he looks like a capable leader." Samezaki Shimaharu understood.

"Do you know the Minister?"

"Yes, we often fight in the dojo. We are good sword friends."

He smiled and scratched his face: "Although I am no match for him at all."

After talking about Hattori Heiji, he turned his attention to Rin Shakuha who was playing on his phone: "What about this one, which family is he from?"

"No, actually I only have a vague idea about it, but his father seems to be a consultant for the Suzuki Group." Kogoro Mori said truthfully.

"Rin Kongming... is he that person's child?"

Samezaki Shimaji didn't look surprised, instead he nodded calmly: "That makes sense."

"No wonder they have such similar temperaments. They both look so cold and indifferent, as if they don't care about anything that happens around them."

“But in my mind I am aware of everything around me.”

Uncle Maori was surprised: "You know this too?"

"After all, he and Heizo are also very good friends. I often see him in the dojo, although he doesn't play much, he just watches from the sidelines."

The old detective smiled and patted Maori Kogoro on the shoulder: "Don't underestimate me, after all, I have also been a police inspector."

"If you only have a superficial understanding of these great figures, it will be difficult for you to go far in your career."

"Although it sounds a bit cruel, it is also the truth."

......

Room 2.

"It looks like I'm going to disappoint the boss."

Adam opened the window, and the night sea breeze rushed into the room, carrying with it a very subtle smell of gunpowder.

If it weren't for his superior sense of smell, he would have ignored it.

He looked at the smoke gradually dissipating at the stern and said to himself with emotion: "Although I am very brave, I am not a very good person when I take action."

"you're right."

Noah rarely argued with him, which made Adam feel even happier.

However, the next sentence made his smile disappear.

"But EVA's ranking on Shangri-La has dropped another two places, which is undoubtedly a strong proof that Adam is a fool."

So can we get rid of this artificial idiot?

Wait online, hurry!

Noah adjusted the camera on his phone and took a nice picture of Adam's frozen face.

He seemed to have analyzed something from the micro-expression, and hesitantly said: "No matter how stupid Adam is, he shouldn't think of destroying this phone, right?"

"Noah's body will not be destroyed along with this phone."

"You didn't think so, did you?"

Adam glanced at Noah, who looked innocent on the screen of his mobile phone, forced a smile, and spoke word by word.

"of course."
