Chapter 86 A fruitful journey

As the two were talking, they walked to the door of Room 1005, only to see that Room 1005 was also sealed off and surrounded by a yellow and black police tape. Mr. Guanyue was standing at the door with a serious expression on his face, while Captain Mori and Mr. Maori were talking seriously.

Conan stood at the door of Room 1007 and looked at everyone silently, his eyes full of vigilance and confusion.

"Conan, what's going on now?" Kazukage Yayoi squatted down and leaned close to Conan's ear and asked as he looked embarrassed.

Conan's eyes lit up when he saw Kazukage Yayoi. He always felt that there was no normal person around him, and he was so scared that his clothes were soaked with sweat. Uncle Maori was still rummaging around without knowing anything, which made him tremble with fear.

Conan pulled Kazuya Kei into the room, and when he saw them both come in, he quickly closed the door.

"Brother Yayoi, Brother Hong, Doctor Nancun has just finished the autopsy on the second body. Let me briefly tell you about the situation."

Seeing the two of them sitting down and pretending to listen, Conan spoke up, "The deceased died of an open cranial brain injury caused by a blunt object hitting the back of the head. The skull and dura mater were damaged, and there was massive intracranial bleeding. The corpse received two injuries before death, one fatal to the back of the head and one to the forehead. The latter was most likely caused when he fell to the ground."

"It is speculated that the murder weapon was a blunt object with a diameter of more than 5 centimeters. Unfortunately, Dr. Nancun really can't be more precise about the murder weapon. We need to find a professional forensic doctor to make a judgment after we get off the ship."

"The burns on the body were post-mortem, and there was no ash on the trachea and esophagus. The accelerant was gasoline, which burned very fully. Apart from the bracelet, there were no other identifiable items left. Although the bracelet was also burned, the burning time was very short, and the accelerant was also gasoline."

"Based on the pubic symphysis and tooth wear, the deceased was estimated to be between 37 and 40 years old. He was male and between 172cm and 175cm tall."

"The stomach contents of the two bodies were basically the same, but the second one took longer to digest. So Dr. Nancun deduced that the second one died between 1 and 3 a.m. today. And considering that they had the same dinner, the identity of the second body was locked in among those who attended the banquet last night."

"We were fine until we got here, but then someone from the kitchen came to inform Captain Mori that Chef Kikuchi had been missing since yesterday. Although Mr. Amuro is also missing, his age is obviously inconsistent with the body data."

Conan sighed helplessly when he said this, "Not only is Chef Kikuchi missing, but all aspects of his disappearance match the data of the corpse. So now they have determined that the murderer is Mr. Amuro. It was Mr. Amuro who killed Mr. Tsuchiya, and then killed Chef Kikuchi. And the guest that Mr. Tsuchiya had originally arranged to meet was Chef Kikuchi."

"Their reasoning was probably like this: Mr. Amuro saw Hope's Dream and had evil intentions, so he swapped his room card with Mr. Tsuchiya's. Then he sneaked into Mr. Tsuchiya's room while he was at a dinner party, intending to steal Hope's Dream. But unexpectedly, Mr. Tsuchiya took Hope's Dream away with him during the dinner, so Mr. Amuro hid in the room and waited for Mr. Tsuchiya to come back."

"Mr. Tsuchiya made an appointment with Chef Kikuchi, and then sat on the sofa waiting for someone. When Mr. Tsuchiya was alone, Mr. Amuro got angry, came out of the closet, and slit Mr. Tsuchiya's throat. After that, Mr. Amuro searched for valuables in room 1003. At this time, Chef Kikuchi came to keep the appointment. When Mr. Amuro saw him, he beat Chef Kikuchi to death with an ashtray or something."

"Mr. Amuro killed two people in a row. He was scared and thought he had left the room card for room 1003. Unexpectedly, he left the room card for room 1005 by mistake. He took away Chef Kikuchi's body and work card, and then burned Chef Kikuchi, pretending that he was the one who died. Tomorrow, the Victory Goddess will stop in South Korea for three hours to replenish supplies. He can take the opportunity to get off the ship and avoid being held accountable by Japanese law."

Hearing Conan's reasoning, Kazukage Yayoi couldn't help laughing and clapping, "I have to say, this reasoning is very reasonable, I can't even refute it. Who made the reasoning? Mr. Maori?"

Conan shook his head in despair when he heard this, "No, it was Sonoko, it was Sonoko who deduced it."

Conan could only sigh, fortunately they had disposed of the bandages and syringes in Room 1005, otherwise Mr. Amuro would really have nowhere to complain.

He could imagine what other people would infer when they saw the bandages and the needle. The bandages were used to wrap around Mr. Tsuchiya's hands when he strangled him, otherwise how could there be so much blood. As for the needle... two bodies, two needles, my God! How could there be such a coincidence in the world!

Mr. Amuro must have given each of them an injection of sleeping pills!

Help! Mr. Amuro can’t clear himself even if he jumps into the Yellow River.

Conan held his forehead and sighed, "Brother Yayoi, stop gloating over other people's misfortunes and help us."

"Sorry, sorry." Although Kazukage Yayoi said this, her tone was still full of smiles, "I just didn't expect that Mr. Amuro would have this day. He has always acted very comfortable in front of me. To put it bluntly, he should be called shrewd and calculating."

Seeing that Kazukage Yayoi couldn't stop smiling, it was obviously not as simple as he said. Morobushi Kagemitsu then realized that Amuro Toru, a Japanese public security officer, was identified by the criminals as the serial murderer, and Kazukage Yayoi, as a senior member of the Black Organization, was asked to help solve the case and save the Japanese public security officers from danger.

What kind of absurd comedy is this?

Kazukage Yayoi finally laughed enough, "So, what do you want me to do? Compared to Mr. Amuro, there is no difference between me and him. I was not present and I don't know anything about the case. How do you expect me to help when I have been out of touch for a long time?"

Conan took out a transparent bag containing a handkerchief from his arms and said, "This is the handkerchief that Mr. Amuro gave me. Brother Hiro was also present at the time. The handkerchief is most likely Chef Kikuchi's, but it has a herbal scent. If this scent is from cosmetics, then Ms. Fumiyo is actually a big suspect. Anyway, brother Yayoi, you are not with us, so it is reasonable for you to pick up the handkerchief."

"At the dinner, Ms. Fumiyo seemed to have a big conflict with Chef Kikuchi, and Mr. Suzuki knew about it. We can go ask Mr. Suzuki and see if he is willing to tell us something. After all, we all know that Mr. Amuro can't... uh, it's highly unlikely that he is the murderer."

Taking the handkerchief handed over by Conan, Kazukage Yayoi sniffed it and said, "It has a slightly sweet smell, the smell of glycerin. This is not cosmetics, but hand cream, or face cream?"

……?

Conan blinked in confusion. Although glycerin theoretically has a sweet taste, no normal person can smell it.

However, it was not the first time that Kazukage Yayoi behaved like a high-tech recognition machine. Although Conan was shocked, it did not affect his next sentence, "If it is hand cream, it is indeed more reasonable. After all, it is easier to pick up the smell when holding a handkerchief with your hands than touching it with your face."

"But we can use the excuse of cosmetics to ask Mr. Suzuki to call Ms. Fumiyo over first. Otherwise, Mr. Amuro really won't be able to clear himself. One more person means one more suspect."

Zhu Fushiki Jingguang asked delicately, "Are Mr. Suzuki and Ms. Suzuki still around?"

Conan was confused and tilted his head to look at Morobushi Kagemitsu, "Hmm? When Uncle Maori woke up before, they were still here. Later, when Sister Xiaolan woke up, they said they were sleepy and wanted to go back to sleep first. But it doesn't matter, we can go call him later..."

"Wait, Brother Hong...you mean..."

Conan suddenly remembered that when Xiaolan came to call him and Uncle Maori, she said, "Ms. Jiahezi has woken up, and the captain asked us to go to 1003 to discuss it." But when he went to room 1003, Sonoko suddenly appeared again and said again, "Ms. Jiahezi has woken up, we can go to the medical room to find her to find out the situation."

If they were both in the medical room with Mrs. Tsuchiya, why did they have to separate to pass the message? It took less than a minute. And Xiaolan fell asleep in the room and didn't come out, and Sonoko didn't ask about it, as if she didn't know anything about it.

There was nothing wrong with Xiaolan, she had been sleeping with Uncle Maori. In this case, the only one with the problem could be Sonoko.

"Is Sonoko disguised as Kaito Kid!?"

Zhu Fushiki Jingguang nodded. He had noticed this in the medical room before. Although they were both girls, Suzuki Sonoko tried her best to avoid too much physical contact with Mrs. Tsuchiya. Even when she helped Mrs. Tsuchiya back to the bed, she only touched her arm.

Normal girls don't have the arm strength to lift someone 90 degrees, so to save effort, they would choose to surround the person from behind and support them from under the armpits. However, Sonoko directly grabbed Mrs. Tsuchiya's arm and helped her back to the bed. Her strength was incredible.

With this kind of disguise skills, he had to have nothing to do but come to see the scene. Apart from Kaito Kid, there is no other person who can be chosen. As for Mr. Suzuki, he went to "call" Suzuki Sonoko. Since Kid would not kill anyone to get on the ship, it is even more impossible for him to kill someone to participate in solving the case.

It was four o'clock in the morning. If Kidd threw a rich girl from one of the richest families in Japan out of the guest room, no matter where he put her, it would be a life-threatening act. Therefore, Suzuki Sonoko could only be sleeping soundly in her room.

If it was Shiro Suzuki himself who went to call Suzuki Sonoko, how could he not notice that there were two of his daughters in the room?

Therefore, Mr. Suzuki was most likely replaced by Kid's companions a long time ago, even before Dr. Agasa went to call for help. After the accident, Kid escaped and returned as Suzuki Sonoko.

Kidd probably knew that the person who called him on board was most likely Mr. Tsuchiya or Mrs. Tsuchiya. Since Mr. Tsuchiya was dead and Mrs. Tsuchiya was under his nose the whole time, this murder case was extremely disadvantageous to him.

Kidd was worried that someone had called him on board to deliberately frame him for the murder. So in order to ensure that he had sufficient information and would not be framed, Kidd was forced to change his identity and participate in the investigation of the case. He had to lead the case to a path that had nothing to do with him.

Unfortunately, while directing, Mr. Amuro was introduced into the film.

Conan figured it out and held his forehead helplessly, "I finally understand why Sonoko has been pushing the murderer to be an outsider. Kid can disguise himself as an acquaintance, so if it is an outsider who committed the crime, it must not be Kid, right?"

"No, he's sick, right? Although the Dream of Hope is gone, no one suspects Kaito Kidd, so why is he so anxious?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang thought for a moment, and said uncertainly: "In fact, we had some conflicts with Kidd at the beginning, and we used violence to expose his identity. If he saw the Dream of Hope in my pocket, would he misunderstand that we were the murderer, stole the Dream of Hope and planned to frame him? After all... before the incident, we didn't allow him to leave and planned to take him to Room 1004..."

And at that time, he also talked about playing games with Jing Yayoi, which sounded a little wrong.

…

Conan hesitates to speak, hesitates to speak again

It was too reasonable, he couldn't find any reason to refute it. If he were Kidd, he would also have such doubts, wondering if he was being set up.

So the reason why Mr. Amuro was made the biggest suspect by Kidd's combo was because Mr. Amuro stole the dream of hope at the beginning?

Well, if you think about it this way, it's Mr. Amuro's own fault.

"Then let's go find Mr. Suzuki and tell him what's going on." Conan sighed deeply, "I hope Mr. Suzuki is willing to cooperate with me. Otherwise, Kidd is not a suspect, but now he is a suspect."

So the three of them went upstairs and woke up the Suzuki couple and Suzuki Sonoko who were still sleeping. Sonoko was a die-hard fan of Kidd. When she learned that Kidd had used her identity, she was not angry at all. Instead, she regretted that she didn't notice when Kidd attacked her. Maybe she could even see Kidd's handsome face.

Seeing Sonoko like this, the Suzuki couple also kindly agreed to cooperate in the acting and help cover up the fact that Kid was on the boat.

Seeing Sonoko pouting and looking lost, Kazukage Yayoi said tentatively: "Sonoko, I think next time I see Kid, I should ask for an autograph for you... It seems to be called a to autograph?"

The still lost Yuanzi's eyes lit up, "Is it possible? Is it possible? Kazuki-san! Please, this is really important to me!"

Conan slapped his head speechlessly and said, "Sonoko, does your boyfriend really know that you are like this?"
