Chapter 198

Miwako Sato had already touched the door of the security room and was about to break in.

But now...

Looking at Jiang Xia in the room for a moment, Sato Miwako: "...Aren't you a hostage?"

Jiang Xia glanced at her through the window, opened all the half-open doors of the security room, and let the police enter the room: "It was just now, but now I have changed my career."

Officer Sato: "..."

She looked at the few people on the ground and sighed: Forget it, the details are not important, as long as the kidnappers are fine.

But: "Why so many? Conan said just now that there are only five robbers."

Jiang Xia raised his finger and pointed: "The last three are the security guards who were caught together before. But I'm not sure if there is any internal response among them, so I didn't untie them - the rest are the robbers who have been identified."

The next step to identify hostages and robbers is the job of the police.

Jiang Xia finished her work, returned home, and began to pack up the things needed to go to Mermaid Island.

……

after a few days.

When the date on the travel voucher arrived, Jiang Xia came to the seaside and prepared to board a boat.

Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan also came early.

The boat from the travel agency is scheduled to leave in the evening and arrive tomorrow.

After Jiang Xia had lunch, he took a few classmates for a walk by the seaside, intending to see if any cases could be solved.

Just as he scanned the passers-by by the sea, trying to find out the murderous intent from them.Behind him, the travel agency's boat exploded with a "boom".

Jiang Xia: "...?"

The four of them were startled, and ran closer to see the situation.

It was not the entire ship that exploded, but a certain cabin. This accident caused only one death and did not cause a fire.

Judging from the ornaments on the charred body and the testimony of the onlookers, the deceased should be the captain.

Jiang Xia has no impression of this incident.

But as soon as he raised his head, he saw three more people beside him: the first officer who appeared out of nowhere, the handsome chief engineer, and a villain-looking sailor.

Jiang Xia understood immediately, and murmured to a few classmates in a low voice: "This is not an accident, it should be a murder together."

As soon as the words fell, a shikigami gradually emerged from the Jiao corpse.It squirmed and floated closer, grabbing the chief engineer's leg.

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko stared blankly at the charred corpse for a moment, then took out their mobile phones tremblingly at the same time.

Mao Lilan started to call the police. Suzuki Sonoko originally wanted to call an ambulance, but after glancing at the corpse through her fingers, she fell into deep thought.

After contemplating, Suzuki Sonoko silently gave up on this idea and called the fire brigade instead.

……

Conan skillfully took out the earmuffs and put them on.

Next to him, Jiang Xia searched his memory for a moment and realized that this was an event outside of the spoiler.

He then sent a few ghosts to wander around the area looking for clues.At the same time, use the spare few minutes to think about whether Conan's event physique has been upgraded...

Before reaching a conclusion, the ghosts sneaked back to report that they found physical evidence of being tied up with heavy objects and sinking into the sea on the nearby seabed.

After locking down the murderer and physical evidence, and then looking for a murderer with a poor psychological quality to make a set of words, he can almost make up an intermediate reasoning.

Done and called it a day

……

On the other side, Conan was wearing earmuffs, immersed in his thoughts on solving the case.

When he finally came to a conclusion, he returned to the scene of the murder, just in time to see the weeping murderer being escorted into a police car.

Conan: "..."

He touched his earmuffs cherishingly: it's so useful, thank you Dr. A Li for the gift.

……

Because the ship exploded, the staff of the travel agency looked sad and bowed and apologized to the tourists: "Everyone, the ship needs to be repaired and cannot leave for the time being. We will reconfirm the departure time."

Jiang Xia sighed: If you procrastinate for too long, I'm afraid you will miss the grand ceremony of "Mermaid Sacrifice"—experience told him that there are often a lot of things to gather in such lively occasions.

"..." Let's look for other ships.

Just looking around, at this moment, Suzuki Sonoko next to him suddenly looked into the distance and said "Huh?" in surprise.

……

Suzuki Sonoko saw a group of people boarding the ship.

When she looked over, there happened to be someone over there looking over.

The two sides looked at each other, and the eyes of Miss Hei Changzhi on the opposite side lit up, and she enthusiastically waved: "Yuanzi!"

Suzuki Sonoko was startled, and then became happy: "Sister Xia Jiang!"

Jiang Xia followed the prestige and looked at the yacht that could accommodate many people, his eyes lit up.

……

A group of people walked towards Sumoto's yacht, ready to rub the boat.

"It's really rare for the Soben family to travel together." Suzuki Sonoko whispered in surprise, "I remember that his family was not harmonious, and many people were staring at the old man's inheritance. Xia Jiang didn't like to go out with his family either. , but today...is there any special day?"

She guessed right.

"Haha, actually, I'm going to get married soon."

On the deck, Somoto Natsue held Suzuki Sonoko's hand, his cheeks were stained red:

"According to family tradition, our weddings from generation to generation will be held on this island.

"In addition, I heard that the 'Mermaid Festival' is about to start, and the two islands are not far away. I plan to stop by the Mermaid Festival after the wedding is over, and see if I can get the "Dugong Arrow" - it is said that the dugong There is divine power attached to the arrow, and those who get it can remain young forever."

Next to him, an old man in a kimono walked by.It is the patriarch of the Xiaoben family.

The patriarch Xiaoben stayed in the cabin just now, and now he came out to breathe fresh air, but suddenly found that there were a few more strangers on board, and his face immediately showed displeasure——When will it be the turn of some dubious people to board their private yacht? up.

Xiaoben Xiajiang's older sister, Xiaoben Qiujiang, was by his side.

At this moment, she saw something was wrong, raised her chin, clicked on Suzuki Sonoko from the air, and stopped in a low voice: "Grandpa, that is the youngest daughter of the chairman of the Suzuki Consortium."

"..."

The patriarch's complexion changed several times, and he suppressed the curse he was about to utter.

However, he had just reluctantly accepted the matter of "letting strangers board the boat". At this moment, someone under the boat suddenly made a surprised voice: "Jiang Xia! Why are you here?"
