It’s cold…
In a physical sense. The muscles are slightly stiff, but not completely hardened...
With the detective around, Ye Gengyi, who had no habit of touching corpses, got this information through visual inspection by a tool man touching the corpse.
"No more..."
Mouri Kogoro sighed: "The time of death should have exceeded 30 minutes..."
"Damn it!" Conan gritted his teeth and cursed secretly.
With you two here, I wouldn’t be surprised at all that something like this would happen... Ye Gengyi reminded:
"Mr. Mori, fan."
"oh!"
Mouri Kogoro looked at Tsujimoto Kaho:
"Do you know where the Yashiro President might be?"
Sonoko was attacked, and now Yashiro Takae was also killed. Both incidents were related to Yashiro Entaro, and no matter what, the other party should be found now.
"Ah! I'm going to the billiards room right now!" Tsujimoto Kaho turned around and ran out of the room.
"I...I'm going to tell the captain what's going on here..." the vice-captain followed closely.
His immediate boss's immediate boss, Yashiro Takae, the president of Yatsushiro Cruises, was murdered... He already had a premonition of a gloomy future.
Here, Conan discovered new clues from the scene. On the carpet next to the body, a blood stain was wiped off: "Brother Gengyi, look here..."
Ye Geng glanced away.
There's no discoloration, it's not blood... Did you accidentally spill the tomato juice before?
He went to the refrigerator to check the number of drinks inside and took a can of coffee.
Hey, hey... Conan staggered and almost fell down when he saw this scene.
What the hell is Brother Geng Yi doing! Even if you ignore yourself, you still touch the people on the scene... Huh? wrong!
Brother Gengyi just looked at himself first, and then went to the refrigerator...
I understand! This is not blood!
After figuring out the key, Conan immediately ran to the trash can in the room and started rummaging through it.
Ye Gengyi came over, drinking coffee and watching condescendingly.
He knew that the little detective's brain was very easy to use, and he could analyze a lot of details with just a simple hint... Anyway, he didn't have to dig through the trash can, which saved a lot of effort.
Conan searched carefully, and in a short time he went through all the trash cans in the suite. There were no drink cans, towels or paper towels for wiping the carpet.
So...that mark was left by the murderer.
He was about to discuss it with Ye Gengyi, but he ended up saying 'Brother Gengyi, what do you think...'.
Ye Gengyi interrupted: "Mr. Maoli, the police should be here soon. You should keep an eye on Conan. After all... a murder has occurred, and the trash cans at the scene are also very important evidence."
? ! ? !
You, a guy who took a drink from the scene, actually have the nerve to say something about me... Conan's senses were so violently impacted that he had no time to say anything.
Immediately afterwards, he was picked up by the back of his collar by Mouri Kogoro, who was full of anger, and he was thrown into the corridor with a wave.
It hurts, it hurts... Conan rubbed his butt and looked at someone with a resentful look on his face.
Hey, do you think you are just a primary school student? I originally wanted to share clues, huh, brother Gengyi, just wait! This time, I must find the murderer first!
He secretly held his breath.
After his emotions stabilized and calmed down, he was slightly startled...
Hmm... Of course, it is necessary to solve the case and find the real culprit, but then again, Brother Sarada is not that guy from Hattori. Even if I can surpass him in reasoning, will he really look at me differently?
At this time, Tsujimoto Kaho, who ran to the billiard room to look for Yatsuro Entaro, brought back another piece of bad news.
Yatsuro Entaro is missing.
The former prime minister who made an appointment with him to play billiards said that after the other party left midway, he never went back.
However, it is a little regrettable that no one in the billiard room remembers the exact time when Yatsuro Entaro left.
So that's it... If there wasn't a third murderer, the clues would have been very clear... Ye Gengyi's thoughts were spinning, and he gradually came up with some guesses.
The process is simple.
It can also explain why Suzuki Sonoko was imprisoned in the morgue.
That is, someone invited Yatsuro Entaro to meet at the dock alone, and Suzuki Sonoko, who happened to be playing a hide-and-seek game, arrived there first.
Seeing that Entaro Yashiro was about to leave for the appointment, the murderer could only knock out the 'obstructive' Sonoko Suzuki and take him to the morgue at the opposite location. Otherwise, if he still chose to take the person to the gate and throw him into the sea at this time, he would probably be thrown into the sea. Yatsuro Entaro, who arrived later, bumped into him.
There are two key messages here.
That is: Suzuki Sonoko was not the murderer's primary target, and she definitely arrived at the dock earlier than the murderer's target, otherwise there was no reason not to be thrown into the sea.
So... the person Mouri Kogoro met on the 6th floor was not the person who attacked Suzuki Sonoko in the dock.
Kusaka Hiroyuki and Akiyoshi Minamiko are the most suspect.
What can be confirmed so far is that only the two of them were not in the room during the murder but deliberately created alibis.
As for whether they are using each other, or reaching some kind of agreement to cooperate with each other...
Ye Gengyi prefers the former.
From the beginning, he found it strange why the murderer would install two types of bombs, manual and timed bombs, in the same area.
Now that I think about it, it would make sense if the bomb was installed by two groups of people. Of course, two groups of people does not mean two people.
On the side, Mouri Kogoro and Conan's expressions were also particularly solemn.
Noticed that the vice-captain was back here again.
For the purpose of testing, Ye Gengyi said directly:
"Mr. Vice Captain, an accident has occurred. I suggest you adjust the course and sail to the nearest port as soon as possible without disturbing the passengers."
If the cruise ship encounters an emergency during the voyage, the captain can decide to return to the port immediately or find a safe buffer area to wait for rescue.
"This, this... I will report again..."
The vice-captain was completely confused. To be honest, he was already afraid of this young man and turned around and ran away without daring to stay for a moment.
"Zhang Yi, isn't this inappropriate?"
Mouri Kogoro frowned and said: "The murderer must still be on the cruise ship. If we dock now, he only needs to spread the news that someone has been killed to create panic. Even the police will have a hard time blocking the passengers' request to disembark."
That's right... Conan nodded secretly from the side.
Yatsuro Entaro's fan was found in the dock, and combined with the fact that Yashiro Takae was killed, it is difficult not to think of the current situation of the president.
You must know that this cruise ship is the property of Yashiro Group. Until the murderer is found, the captain may not agree to their request to dock... Wait a minute!
A certain detective boy suddenly guessed another possibility. It was difficult to control his emotions due to the sudden inspiration, so he blurted out:
"Brother Gengyi, do you want to use this method to find out whether the murderer is a sailor or other flight attendant?"
