When he came to the warehouse door, Conan found that the door was unlocked. When he opened the door, it was empty and Xiao Wu had disappeared.

Everyone searched inside and out, but still couldn't find Xiao Wu, so they could only return to the restaurant disappointed.

Seeing his sister crying, Xia Jiang couldn't bear it, and wanted to go up to comfort him, but instead made the other party point the finger at him.

"It's all your fault, it's because you brought Xiao Wu into our family that this kind of thing happened!" Qiu Jiang accused loudly.

"Sister..." Xia Jiang lowered his head in shame.

"Actually, Mr. Xiao Wu may not be the murderer..." Matsuda said slowly after taking a bite of cheese. He couldn't help it when he saw everyone blaming Miss Xia Jiang together.

"what?!!"

"What about your brains? The warehouse door is obviously locked. Someone must have opened the lock. In addition, the corsage fell there when the old man died. Maybe someone deliberately framed Mr. Xiaowu. Woolen cloth..."

"Kid Matsuda is right, but there is another possibility, that is, there are accomplices..." the uncle reasoned, rubbing his chin. "Just like when the old man died, the murderer should be among you, because none of you have any alibi..."

So the uncle started the interrogation mode again, everyone seemed to have a motive, Matsuda yawned boredly, and inadvertently saw a painting by Ichiro Sumoto, which seemed to be Miss Xia Jiang, maybe this kid had a crush on her...

"Hey, Kudo, you said you found a bread crumb on top of the blood?" Matsuda suddenly thought of something, and asked Conan in a low voice.

"Yeah, what did you think of..." Conan wondered.

"Go and ask your sister Xiaolan, what can I use bread crumbs for when I paint..." Matsuda smiled mysteriously.

Conan rolled his eyes, it's fine for this guy to explain directly, and he has to ask Xiaolan...

"That Ichiro Somoto, have you noticed? He has been secretly looking at Miss Xia Jiang. Every time Miss Xia Jiang looked at him, he would always dodge and avoid his gaze. This is a sign of liking someone but being quite inferior..." Matsuda boldly said guessed.

"But they are not..." Conan said strangely.

"So what, the one named Qiujiang is still called that fat aunt and aunt. It's not uncommon for close relatives to marry in this kind of big family..." Matsuda scorned.

"But there are still doubts..." Conan thought.

"It's up to you, aren't you the best at sneaking..." Matsuda joked.

"You bastard..." Conan said with lowered eyelids.

At this moment, Ichiro got impatient with Qiu Jiang's words, got up and went to the toilet, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Matsuda happened to notice, and sure enough, there was something wrong with this guy.

In the blink of an eye, 10 minutes later, the fat aunt and his wife became nervous. What happened to their son? Then there was a sudden power outage, and the restaurant became pitch black. Everyone panicked. The most anxious thing was The fat aunt's couple, their son is still in the toilet.

"Brother..." Sakura grabbed Matsuda's clothes with some fear.

Lizi and Kaori also approached Matsuda, looking around nervously, Mingmei looked calm, this kind of thing was far worse than being in the organization, but she just looked at Matsuda who was surrounded, this guy...

Originally Matsuda saw the power outage and wanted to go out with Uncle Mori to have a look, but was a little embarrassed to be squeezed in the middle by three girls. Feeling the soft touch, Matsuda could only shrink in as much as possible. The tighter the three women squeezed, they could only freeze in place in the end.

After a while, I heard screams coming from the toilet. Conan couldn't see the position of the toilet door in the dark, so he could only bite the bullet and rushed over, but he hit the wall all of a sudden, dazzled on the spot.

After the electric switch was restored, everyone looked at Ichiro who fell on the ground in surprise. At this time, Ichiro's right leg was stabbed, blood was bloody, and the fat lady was so nervous that she was about to cry.

"Hey, should someone take a look..." Mingmei rolled her eyes.

"Ah, this...hahaha..." Matsuda was a little embarrassed, still immersed in the soft touch just now.

Mingmei looked at the guy in front of her complicatedly. She didn't know why she was angry, but she felt a little uncomfortable.

Riko and Kaori shyly left Matsuda's embrace. They just wanted to get closer, but ended up in his arms. However, Officer Matsuda's embrace is so warm and safe...

"Hey, Matsuda boy, what are you doing..." At this moment, the uncle's eyes widened. How can this kid hug him left and right? What is wrong with being a famous detective...

"Cough cough, Senior Maori, this was all an accident, hahaha..." Matsuda rubbed the back of his head and laughed awkwardly.

"You boy..." The uncle curled his lips, and then walked into the toilet.

Matsuda also followed. At this time, everyone thought of Xiao Wu for granted, thinking that he did it again, but when they saw the kitchen knife at the scene, Matsuda Nuo thought about it.

"Everyone, leave the matter here to Xiaolan and the others, please follow me..."

"You guys just stay here..." Matsuda followed after finishing speaking.

Sakura, Riko, Kaori, and Mingmei stayed in the bathroom with Xiaolan and Xia Jiang to take care of Mr. Ichiro.

The uncle led everyone to the power room, and everyone was surprised to see the mechanism.

"This is a simple timing device that anyone can do. First fix the breaker, then tie a heavy object to pull it, and then burn a candle in the middle of the rope. When the weight falls, the breaker will automatically Turn off the power, judging from the burning of the candle, this thing should have been set for quite a long time..." the uncle explained.

"That is to say, each of you is suspicious. Anyway, uncle and I will be responsible for finding Xiao Wu, and you will wait in the restaurant..." Matsuda continued.

After everyone left, Matsuda looked at Conan with a smile, Conan nodded knowingly, and then ran away, Kudo, it's up to you...

===Chapter 45 The Sad Truth===

While Matsuda and Uncle Mori were looking for the entire cruise ship, Conan quietly sneaked into the rooms of everyone in the Sumoto family. Anyway, he is a child now, so it is no big deal if he is discovered.

In Mr. Shoji’s room, Conan found a box with a kitchen knife, but in Mr. Ichiro’s room, Conan felt very strange. Suddenly, he thought of Matsuda’s words, could it be...

Just when Conan was thinking and walked to Miss Qiujiang's room, he saw a cabinet, then pushed the chair and stood up to open it, but suddenly he was taken aback, showing a mysterious smile, so it's here... .

Combined with all the previous clues, the truth finally surfaced, and the next step is to anesthetize Uncle Maori.

"Hey, uncle, this way!" Conan waved to the uncle.

"Huh? Did you find something?" Uncle Mao Li returned to Qiujiang's room in surprise and looked around. At this moment, he felt something stung his neck, and then he lost consciousness.

"Uncle, it's up to you now..." Conan laughed.

Ten minutes later, everyone gathered in Ms. Qiujiang's room.

"Eh? Have you found the murderer?" Everyone in the Shaoben family was shocked.

Matsuda was taken aback for a moment, then smiled lightly, let the sleeping Kogoro come this time.

"Huh? Brother, Uncle Maoli is still talking when he's asleep..." Xiao Sakura wondered.

"Yeah, that's weird..."

"I can still hear the snoring..." Lizi and Kaori approached the uncle and said curiously.

Hey, hey... Conan under the table looked at the beautiful legs in front of him in a panic, it would be over if he was discovered...

Mingmei saw Conan under the table and smiled slightly. The famous detective's reasoning show is about to start...

Matsuda reluctantly pulled away a few curious babies. How can he reason like this? If Xiaolan finds Conan under the table, then he will have to do it himself again...

"dad?"

"Mr. Maury?"

Everyone was very puzzled, why there was no sound, as if they were really asleep.

"Ahem, the murderer who committed the three crimes on this boat is Mr. Ichiro, that's right, it's you!" Conan grabbed Uncle Mori's hand and pointed at Ichiro Samoto and said loudly.

"No, it's not..." Mr. Ichiro shook his head nervously.

"Nani? Isn't it Xiao Wu?"

"Mr. Detective, what are you kidding? My son was attacked..." The fat aunt and his wife were the ones who didn't believe it the most. Looking at Uncle Mao Li's back, they all questioned whether this is really a detective. ...

"That's right, the prisoner is indeed Mr. Ichiro..." Matsuda said with a smile.

"How is it possible?" Hearing the criminal policeman say the same, everyone looked at Ichiro with suspicion.

"I believe everyone still remember what Matsuda boy said before, the flower that fell on the bloodstain..." the uncle said slowly.

This kid, Matsuda rolled his eyes, and called himself that in an uncle's tone.

"That's right, that flower belongs to Xiao Wu, so the murderer should be him..."

"But the blood is dry, don't you find it strange..."

"Xiao Wu must have wiped off the blood..." said the fat aunt.

"Then why didn't he pick up that flower? Isn't it strange that he left the flower representing his identity at the scene of the crime..." the uncle asked back.

"That's right..." Everyone suddenly realized.

"So that flower was planted for Mr. Xiaowu, as Mr. Matsuda said before, and it's the same for Mr. Long Nan." The uncle paused. "When the murderer threw away the murder weapon that killed the old man, Mr. Long Nan saw it. He simply killed him without stopping, and then planted it on Xiao Wu. As for the murder weapon, I think it was the kitchen knife in Mr. Xianger's room , I opened it and looked, two of them were missing, one of them was in the toilet, and the other should have been thrown into the sea. At that time, Matsuda and Conan should have heard that sound... "

"But, why did Xiao Wu disappear from the warehouse..." The fat aunt still doubted Xiao Wu.

"So the most suspicious one is Xiao Wu..." Qiu Jiang said with certainty.

"Hey, I'm wondering if you, a woman, don't understand the words. I said that Mr. Xiao Wu was framed, and the door of that warehouse can only be opened from the outside..." Matsuda looked at the heavy makeup in front of him with downcast eyes. A light touch of Sumoto Akie.

Qiu Jiang was stunned, he was actually looked down upon, and hummed: "Then tell me, who opened the door..."

"Nonsense, who else could it be except the murderer..." Matsuda rolled his eyes, this woman might have a problem with IQ.

"You..." Qiujiang choked for a moment, then thought about it, it seems that this is indeed the case...

"Then why did he run away?" Qiujiang confronted Matsuda.

"Waiting here for you to catch him again? Besides, your husband is dead, I think he will be wronged again..." Matsuda curled his lips and said.

"..." Qiu Jiang was speechless, but stared at Matsuda intently.

Everyone looked at the two people facing each other and couldn't help shaking their heads. As expected of a famous police officer in the Metropolitan Police Department, Qiu Jiang was no match at all.

Mingmei sighed, this guy is exactly the same when bickering with her sister, I don't know if it's annoying or like...

"Ahem, specifically, let Mr. Xiaowu come out and talk about it..." Conan eased the atmosphere and continued.

"Is Xiao Wu here?" Everyone looked around nervously.

"Mr. Xiao Wu!" The uncle shouted again.

At this moment, the door of the cabinet opened slowly, and Xiao Wu walked out expressionlessly.

"Xiao Wu!" Xia Jiang looked at the man in front of him complicatedly.

"Okay, Mr. Wu, I believe you heard it in the cabinet. Is what I said to Matsuda wrong?" Conan asked with a voice changer.

"It's not wrong, because I wanted to say a few words to Xia Jiang, and then I knocked on the door of the warehouse unwillingly, and the door opened unexpectedly, and then I happened to see that scene when I walked to the deck, I thought I couldn't escape I felt guilty, so I had to hide in my sister's room..." Xiao Wu explained.

"Hmph!" Qiu Jiang still looked at Matsuda unconvinced.

Matsuda just smiled lightly, he didn't care what the woman in front of him thought.

"The murderer is really Ichiro?!" Shoji looked at the pale Ichiro in disbelief.

"Impossible! My son was stabbed in the toilet!" the fat lady argued.

"That was the biggest mistake Mr. Ichiro made. Please think about it carefully. It was pitch black at that time. If the murderer wasn't Mr. Ichiro, how would he have walked to the toilet and stabbed Mr. Ichiro's thigh?" the uncle asked. .

"this..."

"And the murder weapon didn't disappear like the previous two times. Instead, it was not far away. Why didn't the murderer take away the murder weapon? That's because the murderer couldn't take it away at all, right Mr. Ichiro..." The uncle stared at his face. asked the paler Ichiro.

"Ichiro..." The fat aunt had the most complicated mood. "What about the evidence, what evidence do you have to prove that the murderer is Ichiro?"

"It's very simple, it's bread crumbs. Mr. Ichiro likes to draw and often uses bread crumbs instead of erasers. The old man happened to find bread crumbs at the scene of the crime, and it was stained with charcoal, so it's Mr. Ichiro's fault..." Matsuda replied.

"The motive, why did he kill Dad..." The fat aunt still couldn't believe it.

"Well, it's because of Miss Xia Jiang..." Matsuda looked at the slim woman beside Xiao Wu and said.

"Me?" Xia Jiang pointed at himself blankly.

"Yes, these paintings also explain..." Conan put the paintings on the table.

"Painting?" Qiu Jiang stepped forward to look at the painting.

"This is actually Xia Jiang..." Qiu Jiang said in disbelief.

"No, don't!" Ichiro suddenly snatched the painting excitedly, knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

"Ichiro..."

"It's all grandpa's fault! I hope to marry Miss Xia Jiang, but my grandfather flatly rejected me. He also said that he would not let his beloved granddaughter marry me, a worthless person, and he announced Xia Jiang's marriage shortly afterwards. Regarding the marriage, what Grandpa said on the deck yesterday, I really can’t forgive Grandpa, and Xiao Wu who took Xia Jiang away, I can’t forgive Grandpa, I hate you!”

Xia Jiang looked at Ichiro who was kneeling on the ground in a complicated way. He didn't expect that there was such a person who had always liked him to the point of madness, but he didn't know it at all. Moreover, this person was his cousin, but he killed his grandfather. …

"So, you killed your own grandfather outrageously?" Matsuda said disdainfully. "This is just to cover up your pitiful inferiority complex. I have always liked others, but I didn't dare to say it out loud. I only dared to hide behind my back all the time. How can your grandfather rest assured that he will marry Xia Jiang to you, although the old man's attitude is not very good. Okay, but you're the most unforgivable one..."

"Officer Matsuda..." Conan, Xiaolan and the others looked at Matsuda in surprise.

"Officer Matsuda is right, Ichiro, you are so stupid..." Xia Jiang sighed.

"Xiajiang..."

Soon the cruise ship arrived at Tokyo Harbour. While on board, Xiao Wu and Xia Jiang cleared up their misunderstanding and reconciled as before. The uncle yawned and walked off the cruise ship in a daze. He couldn’t remember what he had just done. , but I didn't expect the murderer to be Mr. Ichiro.
