The Split-Actress in Conan's World

In the cabin, Conan, who had reunited with Uncle Maori and others, turned back with a sense of something and vaguely heard a strange sound of water.

"Something seems to have fallen into the water?"

"I heard there are a lot of bonito and flying fish in this area, so maybe there are fish jumping." Uncle Maori said casually.

Although he said so, Conan always had a bad feeling in his heart, as if a layer of dark clouds hung heavily over his heart and could not be dispelled for a long time.

He raised his head and asked the crew member beside him: "Excuse me, have you seen the brother with the Kansai accent and the brother with a cold face?"

"Well, as you said Mr. Rin, I didn't see him, but another guy just went to the lounge to borrow a flashlight..." The crew member thought for a moment and said this.

flashlight?

Conan knew that Hattori might have gone to the deck outside to look for something.

Could it be that the sound of water...

He quickly took out his cell phone and called Hattori Heiji.

But there was only a short busy tone.

His expression grew darker.

Conan put away his phone and ran towards the deck.

"Conan?"

Seeing that he was about to run away again, Mao Lilan couldn't help but chase after him anxiously.

Brother Chiba is not here at the moment, and she is worried about Conan doing things alone.

There was a biting cold wind blowing on the deck at midnight, chilling the bones.

When Conan arrived on the deck, he found a figure already standing there with a flashlight in his hand.

He froze for a moment.

"Mr. Rin?"

Lin Chiyu turned around when he heard the voice and shook the flashlight in his hand.

"I just heard a strange noise and came over to take a look," he said.

At this time, Mao Lilan also caught up from behind.

"You two stay away from the railing, it's dangerous!" She looked panicked.

"The wind is so strong, what if I fall down?"

Click.

Following the sound of a lighter being lit, Lin Chiyu looked towards the round platform on the mast and saw a thin figure.

Isogai Nagisa lit a ladies' cigarette and leaned against the mast, her hair fluttering in the wind and her eyes dim.

“Human beings are very small.”

"If you fall into this ocean... no one can save you."

Conan felt even more depressed when he heard these words.

Maori Kogoro arrived late, and the light in Rin Shakuha's hand dazzled his eyes. He looked unhappy and said, "What are you guys doing on the deck in the middle of the night?"

Isogai Nagisa exhaled white smoke and walked down from the round platform: "I'm looking for something."

"Looking for something?"

"Well, a locket." She looked a little depressed.

Mao Lilan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then she seemed to think of something and fumbled in her pocket.

"Ah, you mean this, the necklace with the photo on it?"

She took out a silver chain and handed it to Isogai Nagisa.

Isogai Nagisa quickly took it and held it in her palm like a treasure: "Yes, this is it."

"I picked it up at the bow of the ship before." Mao Lilan said with a smile.

"I must have lost it there in the evening." Isogai Nagisa lowered her eyebrows, looking a little sad.

She gently opened the lid of the pendant, revealing the photo inside.

The photo shows a man with a gentle temperament. He is holding a little girl in his arms, and he looks somewhat similar to Nagisa Isogai.

The only difference is that in the photo, there was a hole on the man’s face, so his appearance couldn’t be seen.

"Really? Why didn't you return it to the owner right away after you found it?" Uncle Maori said casually after looking at the photo.

"Because I couldn't see the man's face clearly, I wasn't sure whose pendant it belonged to."

Mao Lilan complained: "Maybe it's a photo of a male passenger and his daughter."

"And I was going to ask everyone during dinner, but I forgot..."

She looked at Isogai Nagisa who was tying the pendant around her neck with a bit of apology: "I'm sorry, I made you look for it for nothing for so long."

"It's okay." Isogai Nagisa chuckled and held the pendant tightly.

"It's good that it's not lost, after all..."

"This is the only relic left by my father."

Conan looked at her sad face, thinking about something.

Before he could figure out what was going on, he turned around and saw Lin Chiyu squatting in front of the railing at the front of the deck, shining a flashlight on a certain spot and examining it carefully.

"Did you find anything?" he asked as he walked over.

Lin Chiyu glanced at him sideways, nodded calmly, and pointed with his finger: "There is a very suspicious scratch mark here, it's very new, and there are a few drops of inconspicuous blood."

"It's possible that Hattori had an accident here."

His calm tone made Conan feel a little relieved at first, but when he heard the content of his words, Conan exploded.

How can you say such a terrible thing so calmly?

"Given Hattori's skills, it's unlikely that the murderer would get close, so the most likely scenario is that he used a gun."

Rinshakuha glanced at Conan and explained, "I guessed it from the empty magazine you found in the power room."

"..."

Conan is tired. Don't explain this kind of thing seriously. The more you talk about it, the more you feel that Hattori is hopeless...

"But I contacted my seniors in the Suzuki Group and asked them to send a helicopter and search and rescue team."

Lin Chiyu's subsequent words made him feel a little relieved.

After fiddling with the phone for a while, Lin Chiyu pulled up a sea chart: "I heard the strange sound about four minutes ago, and our current location is here."

He pointed to the location on the navigation chart.

"Based on the current speed of the cruise ship, we can roughly calculate where Hattori might have fallen. The search and rescue team will arrive in about ten minutes."

"Although we have missed the golden rescue time, we can still save a life if we are lucky."

"Of course, the premise is that he is not too seriously injured and is not swept away by the undercurrent."

Conan pursed his lips.

Now he knew why Mr. Rin was so calm.

He had already prepared for the worst and made every possible preparation.

Not even a second was wasted in panic or hesitation.

The true meaning of "Do your best and leave the rest to Fate".

Compared to Mr. Lin, I felt like I had lost my mind. Not only did I lose my composure because of worry, but I also didn't take any effective measures.

There is still a lot to learn...

"This is all we can do. Leave the rest to the rescue team." Rinshakuha patted Conan on the shoulder, stood up and walked towards Uncle Maori.

At this time, Minoru Ebina and Sadao Kujirai also walked out of the cabin. The old detective Shimaharu Samezaki received the message from Uncle Mori and rushed over.

Only Adam was still resting in the room and refused their request to gather.

In his words, "there were only a private detective and a former criminal police officer present. From a legal perspective, there is no power to forcibly restrict their actions. Similarly, there is no power to force an audience."

Lin Chiyu took out his phone, looked around and saw that most people were there, then nodded with satisfaction.

"Now that most people have arrived, I will share the information that is currently available to the public."

"In fact, ever since I boarded this ship, I felt that the atmosphere between you was very weird. This subtle atmosphere continued until the death occurred, and it began to intensify."

"I felt somewhat uneasy, so before dinner I asked the seniors from the Suzuki Group to conduct a certain degree of investigation on you. Of course, all the investigations were absolutely reasonable and legal."

When they heard this, their faces changed, and then they looked at each other with different thoughts, but didn't say anything.

Lin Chiyu took this scene in, not paying too much attention to their little thoughts, he opened the information in his mobile phone and started reading.

"The results of the investigation are very interesting. Except for Mr. Adam, all the others are more or less connected."

He looked at the old detective and said, "First, Officer Samezaki. The bank employee who died in the robbery that happened 20 years ago, Ms. Samezaki Miumi, is your daughter, right?"

"Isn't this an obvious fact?" Samezaki Shimaji seemed to recall that painful afternoon again, his eyes filled with sorrow.

Rinshakuha nodded and changed the subject: "But do you know that the Mr. Ebina standing next to you is Miss Mihai's fiancé."

Samezaki Shimaji looked at the timid Ebina Minoru in surprise, frowned for a long time, and then murmured: "No wonder I think you look familiar, you are from Xiao Meihai..."

Ebina Minoru lowered his head in silence.

"And Miss Isogai," Rinshakuha pointed at the necklace around her neck, "Do you mind if I disclose that?"

Isogai Nagisa smiled bitterly, holding the pendant and looking at it: "You also know this..."

"It's okay, just tell me, I don't really care if others know."

Lin Chiyu nodded slightly.

"Ms. Isobe is Ye Sancai's daughter."

"what?!"

Uncle Maori jumped up with his eyes wide open, his eyes full of disbelief.

"When the police found Ye Sancai's bloodstained clothes, they also found a pendant with a photo inside. It was exactly the same style as the one worn by Miss Isogai."

"This detail was not reported in the news. It is only recorded in the complete files of the Metropolitan Police Department."

Maori Kogoro looked at the phone in Rin Shakuha's hand as if he was looking at some kind of monster: "Who are those so-called seniors in the Suzuki Group? They can even find out something like this..."

Lin Chiyu coughed lightly and continued, "As for the other three, I'm sure you have guessed it."

"Whether it is Kanie Juku, Kameda Terukichi, or Mr. Kujirai Sadao who is currently present, they were all one of the three robbers in addition to Ye Sancai back then."

"According to the police's speculation, they may have had a disagreement after committing the crime, and then joined forces to kill Ye Sancai, and the body was thrown into the sea."

"In order to survive the 20-year prosecution period, they buried the 4 million yen they stole somewhere and deposited a map with the location in a bank. Each of them had an item to unlock it, and agreed to meet again in years."

"If I'm not mistaken, then that's the key in Mr. Kanie's hand, the 'Furukawa' seal in Mr. Kameda's hand, and Mr. Kujirai's handwriting, right?"

He looked at Kujirai Sadao calmly, and at this time big beads of sweat were already appearing on Kujirai Sadao's head.

"Only by gathering these three together can we activate the account of 'Furukawa Dai' and find the whereabouts of the 400 million yen."

"That's why there was a puzzle in the name of 'Furukawa Dai' with the answer being an old banknote."

Kujirai Sadao lowered his head in frustration and said resignedly, "Yes, I was one of the robbers back then."

"I was very happy at first, because not only could I meet my friends who I hadn't seen for decades, but I could also get a huge fortune..."

He raised his head with a look of horror, covered his head with his hands, and his voice trembled: "But Kanie died at the last midnight!"

"I'm very uneasy. I even wonder if Ye Sancai wasn't dead at all! He's here for revenge!"

"Without Kanie's key, there's no way we can get the 400 million!"

"Everything was ruined in just one night!"

He slammed his fist on the table angrily, his face full of unwillingness and fear.

Just at this moment, a loud gunshot was heard from outside the window. Under the dark night sky, a beam of fire suddenly appeared. The bullet passed through the air with a burning smell, shattered the glass, and grazed Kujirai Sadao's shoulder, leaving a pool of blood.

"what!!"

He cried out in pain, fell to his knees, holding his shoulder with his hands, and covered the wound tightly with his right hand. After bleeding for a while, the wound was burned by the high heat generated by the rapid friction and quickly formed a scab, forming a shocking bloodstain.

"It's a gunshot wound." Kogoro Mouri reacted very quickly and rushed over to check the wound, and made a serious conclusion.

"Everyone lie down, stay away from the windows!" He shouted, crawled out of the door and quickly got to the window.

"This is!"

He cautiously poked his head out from the corner, but did not see any gun that might be aimed at him.

Instead, a dark shadow collapsed beside the railing, motionless.

"It's Mr. Kanie!"

He rushed over, got closer, and recognized it as the long-lost Kanie Jiku.

Kanie Shijiu was sitting on the ground with his back against the railing, his legs crossed. There was a bloody hole on his forehead, and he was no longer breathing.

"How, how is it possible?!"

People came out of the room one after another and saw the corpse, all with expressions of disbelief.

"Isn't Mr. Kanie dead?" asked Ran Mouri in confusion.

Conan was not surprised at all: "The corpse before was actually Mr. Kameda."

Samezaki Shimaharu squatted down and examined the body.

"His body was still warm, and the blood had not yet coagulated. There were scorch marks near the wound from being shot at close range with the muzzle of a gun."

He looked back at the others: "And everyone was in the restaurant when the gunshots happened."

"If it wasn't that retired mercenary who did it, then it would have been suicide."

Maori Kogoro looked solemn as he looked at Kujirai Sadao who came out with his teeth bared. "I'm afraid he wanted to silence Kujirai-san, but unfortunately he didn't succeed in one strike."

"Maybe he felt he had nowhere to escape, so he shot himself."

"No." Conan denied.

"If that was the case, we should have heard two gunshots."

"But there was only one gunshot, and the bullet was fired at Mr. Kujirai who was in the room."
