Due to his short stature and short legs, Conan could not keep up with the pace of the large army, so he had to take the opportunity to look through Kusaka Hiroyuki's computer bag placed on the cabinet.
Although he might not be able to gain anything, he still wanted to look for clues related to the bug, and to his surprise, he actually discovered something.
Inside the outer slip pocket were a tape recorder and a photo.
The background of the photo is an exquisite study room, with two men wearing sailor uniforms, one on the left and one on the right, clustering a little boy wearing a sailor's hat in the middle.
The elderly sailor and the little boy were holding a small boat made of folded paper. The three people had bright smiles on their faces, and the photographer captured and recorded them at the right time.
Conan quickly stuffed the things back, pretending to be a 'good boy', and thought thoughtfully:
"From the look on his face, this little boy should be Kusaka Hiroshige. So who are these two men? The uniforms look very similar to the sailors on this ship. Are they his elders..."
"Now you should believe that I am innocent, right?" Kusaka Hiroyuki asked calmly.
Although he didn't expect the police to think of the 'wiretap' so quickly, this morning, he took the things back from Room 604 and threw them into the sea.
The evidence no longer exists.
I still have an alibi... so what if the famous detective Mouri Kogoro is here?
Haha... Moreover, I still have a 'trump card'.
He subconsciously touched the bomb detonator in his pocket.
However, the defendant did not leave in this scene. Conan and others who were about to go to Akiyoshi Minamiko to confirm the situation saw it.
…
in the corridor.
A familiar figure pressing a cell phone attracted the attention of several people.
"Eh? Brother Gengyi..." Mumu Shisan was startled.
How come this person is so elusive... Conan sweated and took his mind back from the photo.
The long-term inherent thinking makes a detective boy rarely think from the perspective of 'accomplice' when encountering a case.
"I just met Mr. Ye at the elevator."
Shiratori Rensaburo briefly explained what happened.
Did you leave the table without saying hello just to ask the captain for watermelon? Uh... This kind of thing seems surprisingly normal for Brother Geng Yi...
Conan half-moon eyes.
Last night, when he brought the drunken Mouri Kogoro back to the guest room, he felt strange when he learned that Ye Gengyi was not in the room...but he didn't expect it to be such a simple and unpretentious thing.
No wonder I went to Haiyuan's room this morning and saw watermelon rinds in the trash can... Those guys didn't know to leave a piece for themselves...
…
The investigation went nowhere.
Several people took the elevator to the fifth floor again.
Mouri Kogoro thought for a moment and suddenly said: "I think Mr. Kusaka is innocent."
"Yeah, it would be too clumsy to lie..."
Megure Thirteen nodded: "However, we still need to confirm the alibi with Miss Akiyoshi first."
The words just fell.
A young male and female couple walked towards them, instantly making the not-too-spacious corridor of the cruise ship suddenly crowded.
Everyone stood in a row consciously.
Ye Gengyi was not walking fast, so he slowed down again to keep himself at the back of the team.
Unless he was chatting, he was not used to hanging out with other people, so doing so would not be out of the ordinary.
The two sides passed each other.
The young woman wearing a yellow sleeveless top and a black three-quarter skirt turned sideways towards the wall again.
Mouri Kogoro paused and turned to look at the young and beautiful girl.
Ye Gengyi also stopped: "Mr. Maoli?"
"Mr. Mori, what's wrong with you?" Shiratori Rensaburo was confused.
"Well……"
Mouri Kogoro stopped talking.
"You must be fascinated by the girl just now, right?"
Mumu Shisan complained helplessly: "Brother Maori has always been like this. After seeing a beautiful woman, he easily can't walk..."
Hearing this, Ye Gengyi was not surprised and said calmly: "Mr. Maoli, people have gone far, let's go too."
"Oh, no..." Mouri Kogoro scratched his head.
Please, how long has this been? Uncle, can you still do it... Conan stared speechlessly, feeling deeply that he wanted to 'help' this confused detective into a real detective, but the road is still long...
…
Akiyoshi Minamiko also lived in a single suite.
However, as a designer, the treatment she enjoys is naturally different from that of Hiroyuki Kusaka.
Ye Gengyi did not stand in the corridor this time, but entered the room with everyone.
The decoration of the room is basically the same as that of all guest rooms, but there are some more decorative wall hangings at the junction of the walls, and there are some marine-style oil paintings on both sides.
The writing desk is next to the bed, with a night light and some books and periodicals on it.
After Akiyoshi Minamiko invited everyone in, she sat on a sofa chair near the floor-to-ceiling window and said that she was just enjoying the scenery outside.
Ye Gengyi swept the closet on the wall quietly and let the nanobots get in along the gaps.
Tool boxes, handmade wood carvings...and clothing...well...no bombs.
The risk factor is reduced again.
Because the best way to hide is to plant trees into the forest and drop water into the sea.
If Minami Akiyoshi were the designer of the cruise ship, getting a master key or two would not alarm anyone at all...
Regardless of whether it is the chairman or president of the Yashiro Group, or if any passenger encounters an accident, the police will come to investigate. Assuming that Akiyoshi Minamiko had installed bombs in other rooms beforehand, she should also be in her own room to be on the safe side. Just make the same arrangement inside.
"Miss Qiuyoshi, you don't seem to be too surprised by our arrival..."
Mouri Kogoro spoke with a slightly harsh tone.
"Well, before you guys came, I met the deputy captain, and he had already mentioned the case to me..." Akiyoshi Minamiko said.
"So that's the case, then I won't hold back."
Megure Thirteen said straightforwardly: "We came here mainly to hear Mr. Kusaka say that he was on the phone with you at 10:15 this morning."
"Well, that's what happened..."
Akiyoshi Minamiko said: "Mr. Kusaka called around ten o'clock, and the call lasted about thirty minutes. He had talked to me about the project before. During morning tea, he told me that the story was almost finished. He hoped to hear my opinion, and he also asked me to wait for his call in the room in the morning..."
The alibi is still valid... According to the direction of the police's next investigation, the only way to be more cautious is to go to the cruise ship staff to investigate the communication records...
Ye Gengben decided not to alert the suspect and prioritized the plan to investigate the bomb.
Suddenly, I noticed Kogoro Mouri's expression.
Um? With this look, it felt like he was doubting Akiyoshi Minamiko...
