However, I don't know whether the evil intentions of this group of people were too fierce, or whether Conan's death constitution could not suppress another attack. Half a day after the cruise ship sailed, a fatal accident occurred before it even docked.

"It's not good! Mr. Hanchuan, he, he..."

Mr. Nishino rushed into the restaurant and spoke to everyone while breathing heavily.

"Mr. Hanchuan, he is dead!"

…

"...So, you suspect that the murderer is still among you?"

Guan Dounan held the phone between his shoulder and face, and drew the interpersonal relationship diagram that Conan just mentioned on the paper.

"Then, let me clarify it again. The victim, Ryu Samkawa, was a photographer. When he was operating in the Middle East two years ago, he was beaten by the suspect Nishino because he only wanted to take photos of children affected by the disaster. He had no mercy at all.

A meal. This Nishino is now Chairman Suzuki’s secretary.”

"Earlier this afternoon, Samkawa Ryu showed off his Romanov dynasty treasure on the deck, a ring said to be the third princess Maria. And in the evening, he was killed in his guest room, the ring

He also disappeared, but was found in Nishino’s room.”

"Similarly, Nishino's ballpoint pen also appeared in Samkawa Ryu's room. He himself has no alibi. It seems that he is the murderer - but it is not that simple, because Nishino has severe feather allergies and will faint directly.

That kind, and Hanchuan's room was turned into a mess, even the feather pillows were cut open, as if he was looking for something."

"So, the thing should be like this: At first, it was Hanchuan who stole Nishino's ballpoint pen and hid the ring in his room. But when he returned to his room, he met the murderer who was eyeing the ring. He was very unlucky.

He was killed, but the murderer couldn't find the ring."

"After questioning Dr. Agasa, combined with the circumstances of Hanchuan's death, you suspect that it was the work of an internationally wanted criminal, 'Shikaobing', which is the pronunciation of 'Scorpion' in English and Japanese. He was a person who was specifically watching Romanov.

Prisoners who engage in dynasty treasure activities and like to shoot other people’s right eyes.”

"At the same time, there is one lifeboat missing from the ship. The police suspect that Shi Kaobing has left on the ship, but you think he is still among the few people on the ship. They only want to contact us because they are afraid that he will break the tank and go on a killing spree.

External support.”

"Senior Guan, you're good at briefing, that's probably what happened. The candidate for Shi Kaobing is probably the new Russian diplomat Sergei who appeared on the ship, and the neon art businessman General Yi, who claims to have stayed in Paris for a long time.

Natsumi Kosaka and her housekeeper, and Pu Si Qinglan, a Chinese..."

"Wait a minute, Pu Si Qinglan? Chinese?" Guan Dounan interrupted Conan's narration, "Is this her Chinese name or a Japanese name that was chosen for convenience?"

"It should be her real name, right? When she was chatting with Xiaolan and the others, she even taught them how to speak Chinese." Conan said, "Why, you, a Sinologist, have doubts?"

"Of course, as far as I know, the surname Pu Si does not exist in China. It is somewhat possible to have the surname Pu, but the name is also weird..." Guan Dounan tossed a coin casually and blinked, "Oh, this is so big

Long legs.”

"Why, did you use your ability to investigate?"

"Well, let's take a look at the scene where she teaches you how to speak Chinese. Her identity is fake and her accent is definitely not Chinese. No serious Chinese person can pronounce Suzuki Sonoko's name as Suzuki Fish Balls, but it does work the other way around.

Maybe. Since the identity is fake, it might be that Scorpion. Let me see her ability..."

"..."

"Hello? Senior Guan?" Seeing that there was no reply from the other party, Conan asked worriedly.

"This Pu Siqinglan, you must not deliberately expose her. Keep it as if nothing happened." Guan Dounan was silent for a moment, and then continued, "She is a substitute messenger."

"Eh? Is her ability very dangerous?" Conan was stunned. He didn't expect to meet a substitute messenger again. Could it be that he was attracted to him again?

"If you want to say it is dangerous, it is indeed dangerous, but from another perspective, it is very valuable, very useful, and can even cause a world war." Guan Dounan smiled and said, "After you get off the ship, you will go to the place in Yokosuka.

It’s an old castle, right? Let’s meet there.”

"Ah? What do you mean..." Conan was stunned, and before he could ask anything, the call was hung up.

"When did this guy start not talking well like the Riddler? Doesn't he hate this kind of people the most?" Conan curled his lips, "Sure enough, people will become people they hate."

"However, it is dangerous but valuable, and can even trigger a world war... Does that killer have such a substitute ability? But since they are both killers, it is unlikely that she can be persuaded to do anything..."

…

On the other side, Guan Dounan hung up the phone, took a few deep breaths, then took out the coins again, and began to use Xiao Hei's ability. After seven or eight times in a row, he slowly put down his hand and exhaled a breath.

"Sure enough, she is not as supermodel as I thought at first, but she still has a very terrifying ability. Should you be lucky that she awakened her ability not long ago..."

"However, if that kind of ability can be used properly, maybe we can restrain Gin, and then we can take over the organization in one fell swoop..."

"Well...it would be better to discuss it with Toru Amuro and see what to do."

…

The next day, Yokosuka.

"It's really a beautiful castle. It feels like something out of those fairy tales."

After arriving in Tokyo, everyone took a short rest and then took a bus to this ancient castle in the mountains. After seeing this castle with their own eyes, everyone expressed similar emotions.

"It should be said that the castles in fairy tales are all imitated in this style. For example, when the castle in the Cinderella story was put on the screen by an animation company, it was based on this German-style castle."

"But why is it German? Wasn't Miss Kosaka's great-grandmother Russian?"

"Oh, in modern European history, ethnic groups from various countries have been mixed together. The king of this country may be from another country, and the nobles of that country may be the descendants of the sworn enemies of their own country. Counting up, they are basically all relatives.

.”

"So that's what happened... No, who are you?!"

Mouri Kogoro nodded and suddenly blinked. Only then did he realize that the person who just answered his question seemed to have never met him before, so he shouted out.

"Oops, I forgot to introduce myself." The person who spoke was smiling, with brown skin and blond hair that are rare among ordinary neon people. "My name is Toru Amuro. I am currently working as a photography assistant. This time I am here to inspect the scene.

.”

"Viewing?" Mouri Kogoro was stunned.

"Yes, this castle is the filming location for the new movie. Isn't this castle a very suitable place to shoot a movie that is mysterious but somehow has high ratings?" Guan Dounan also came from behind at this time and took off the sunglasses on his face.

The next point is, "I just don't have any work plans recently, and I am anxious to make money for food. I heard Conan said that you guys are going to come here to solve puzzles and so on, so I came over."

"It's your kid..." Mouri Kogoro finally let go of his vigilance towards Toru Amuro. There are sometimes hundreds or even thousands of staff in a crew, and it is very normal to have such an unknown person.

Mouri Kogoro introduced Guan Dounan's identity to everyone, of course, as an actor on the surface. Naturally, Kasaka Natsumi had no objection to two people like Taka following him. Anyway, although the castle belonged to her, she didn't know how to do it.

If you stay here for a long time, it would be nice to do other things.

Conan, who knew the true identities of the two people in front of him, looked helpless. Even Toru Amuro, the principal of Section N, was mobilized. He really didn't know what this operation would be like.
Chapter completed!
