Chapter 70
【Fuck!!!??? What’s going on? ? Kudo Shinichi??? why???】
[I'm confused. How did Kudo Shinichi appear? ? Who can explain the whole story? ? ]
[The last time Kudo Shinichi appeared was the last time, and I burst into tears. Is this the long-awaited Shinran candy! ? ]
[But Haibara Ai didn't give the medicine to Kudo Shinichi, how did Shinichi come back to life???]
[Could it be Yuma who did it? After all, before that, only Yuma and Conan had contact, right? ? ]
[It must have been Yuma who did it, otherwise how could Conan turn back into Shinichi? ? ]
[I am dying of laughter, look at Gin’s expression hahahahahaha!! I got a new emoticon pack!!]
[Gin: I never remember the names of dead people, Shito: Now that you are alive, can you remember them? ? ]
[Hahahahahaha but since Yuma let Shinichi show up in front of Gin, could it be that the person involved has already persuaded Gin to rebel? This is pretty explosive news——]
[Is this true? ? No matter how you look at it, it's impossible for Gin to betray the Black Organization, right? ? ]
[Or did Gin and Shibuto make some kind of deal? Anyway, if Shinichi dares to do this, Yuyou must be supporting him, right? ]
[Pfft, I think so too. After all, Shito's expression doesn't look like he's panicking, but more like he's tired——]
[Anyway, let’s continue reading. If Shito can really kidnap Gin, the boss’s face will definitely be very happy! ]
…
Facing the deathly glare coming from across the table, Shigeto Tsujimoto remained calm.
"Is there any problem?" Shigetto Tsujimoto looked at him with a confused expression on his face.
"Do you need me to explain it to you?" Gin looked at him coldly.
"Why is he still alive? Did you do this??"
"Huh? I don't understand what you are saying." Shigetto Tsujimoto looked innocent.
“…”
It's obvious that Shigeto Tsujimoto must have done something secretly, but given his usual personality, he probably won't say anything.
The atmosphere on Gin's side was almost reaching freezing point, but on Kudo Shinichi's side it was very hot.
Not to mention the joy overflowing from Mao Lilan, just the gazes of the people around her were enough to make her excited.
That’s the famous detective Shinichi Kudo who has been missing for a long time! ! Even a photo of him can make the headlines! ! !
"What the hell is wrong with you guys!?" Suzuki Sonoko was also shocked.
"Why are you suddenly... Hey! Can't you explain it a little bit!?"
"I'll explain that later." Kudo Shinichi smiled.
"After all, it is more important to find the murderer first."
The famous detective started his daily reasoning. Tsujimoto Shigetsu didn't care. He just slowly moved aside and left the stage completely to the reasoning expert.
"Guess how many cards I have left in my hand?" The silver-haired man put the spoon in the cup of black tea, a smile in his eyes.
He knew Gin didn't trust him.
In other words, the relationship between them is maintained on a very delicate line and maintains a certain balance.
Once this balance is broken, no one knows what will happen next.
The voice of Kudo Shinichi's reasoning sounded clear and melodious, but no one, whether it was Gin or Tsujimoto Shigetsu, was paying attention to the reasoning.
"I'm not interested." Gin looked away, obviously not used to looking at Tsujimoto like this.
"I was just doing my job."
"I've been thinking a lot about the past and the future." Shigetsu Tsujimoto whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"No matter what, I will achieve my goal. There may be countless accidents along the way, but the ending is certain."
"Really?"
"So - you're the only one who knows who the murderer is, Ms. Hatta Yuuna!!"
With Kudo Shinichi's brilliant reasoning, the result was finally deduced. It seems that this explosion is just a minor disturbance. At least it can't hurt Tsujimoto Shigetsu in the slightest.
"I have no choice... I don't want to do anything to that gentleman... I really don't want to..." the waiter cried:
"Someone threatened me... He said he would kill me if I didn't do this... I really didn't want to..."
The real murderer is the person behind the waiter, and Miss Hatta Yuuna is just a pawn in his hands.
Kudo Shinichi's reasoning was correct, and this scene finally made everyone panic.
"What??"
Everyone present changed their expressions. Kudo Shinichi was stunned for a moment, while Mao Lilan took the lead and shook the other's hand seriously.
"Don't be afraid, young lady. Just explain slowly first... With us here, nothing will happen to you."
"What does the person who threatens you look like? What does he want to do? Do you still remember what he looks like? You..."
"Don't ask any more questions." Kudo Shinichi's expression became serious. "At least we know that Miss Hatta Yuuna was used by someone. Everyone present is likely to be in danger."
"Yes!" Mao Lilan also became more serious. "So everyone should stay here for the time being and don't run around. We will find a way to investigate!"
"Let's call back everyone who's still wandering outside... We've already called the police. If the other party's goal is really the Heart of the Ocean, there may be many more gems hidden on this ship."
Kudo Shinichi's words were still credible. After all, he was a former high school detective. Everyone started to contact some passengers outside and asked them to gather in the restaurant.
As people were getting restless all around, Shigeto Tsujimoto silently glanced at his phone and stood up.
"Where are you going?" Gin looked at him warily.
"My boss asked me to go out for a while. The person who will take over has arrived." Shigetto Tsujimoto turned his phone towards Gin and answered naturally.
"You stay here and wait... and this is my advice—"
"If you want to live, just stay here. Gin, overall, I still hope you can survive."
The silver-haired young man gave him a mysterious smile and quickly disappeared from his sight.
However, in a corner that no one had noticed, the other two people also stood up silently. The eyes hidden in the darkness stared at the young man's back as he left, and followed him.
·
At this moment, on the other side of the corridor.
Kuroba Kaito, disguised as a waiter, flashed from the side of the corridor. From the beginning, he noticed that someone was following him, but he could not catch the figure and could only move forward according to his intuition.
"Little Kuroba, please be careful when you are alone and remember to protect your gems." Inspector Furutani sent him a message.
"kid……"
Hei Yu Kaidou looked at the other party's words in silence, always feeling that they were a bit weird.
After all, he is a high school student, right? Isn't it a bit weird to call him a kid?
However, since just now, the people around him seemed to have been walking towards the restaurant. He was the only one walking against the flow, standing out from the crowd.
While following the original route, he noticed that someone bumped into him slightly. When he reacted, the other person smiled at him and took off his sunglasses.
"It's me. Inspector Furuya." The other party lowered his voice, "Don't worry, I'm here to help you."
He disguised himself so well that even Hei Yu took a while to realize he was disguised.
"It's you!?"
At first, Kuroba Kaito did take a second look at the gem appraiser who just came out of the restaurant, but he didn't expect that the other person was actually Inspector Furutani.
"Be careful." The other party patted his shoulder, "If you meet Yuma Tsujimoto or Shigeto Tsujimoto, give them the gem, and your mission will be completed."
"Okay...of course I know."
The two exchanged a few words before passing each other. The moment Inspector Furuya left, Kuroba Kaito caught a glimpse of a strange look.
It was a look filled with greed and malice. The strange look was like a mixture of black mud, making people feel uneasy from the bottom of their hearts.
——Is he being targeted?
Inspector Furutani has disappeared, and at this moment he can only rely on himself.
It sounds easy to deliver the gem to Shigetsu Tsujimoto without harming others, but the Black Organization is also lurking on the ship, and he cannot guarantee that nothing will happen to him.
At this moment, the Ocean is like a huge time bomb. No one knows when it will explode, but anxiety and uneasiness are always immersed in the depths of their hearts.
But the people in the restaurant knew nothing about it.
It's not a pleasant feeling to carry several lives on your shoulders...
Heiyu Kuaidou quickened his pace. He noticed that there were fewer and fewer people around him. The malicious gazes became more and more serious, and his heartbeat began to speed up.
He heard a sound.
Tick, tick, tick.
The pointer of the timer bomb was still shaking. Even though he couldn't see the entire bomb, Kuroba Kaito could imagine the red numbers jumping.
Fortunately, the others had already gone to the restaurant, and with the protection of Inspector Furutani and others, those innocent people would be safe.
But how was he targeted? Was he discovered when he handed over to Inspector Furuya? Or was he discovered at some other time?
Kuroba Kaito thought his disguise was flawless.
The footsteps were getting closer. It was impossible to continue along the original route - there was an independent elevator going upwards on the original route. During this period of time, the other party would definitely catch up with me.
Is there no other way?
[Touch your pocket.]
At this moment, Yuma Tsujimoto's voice suddenly rang in his ears.
Such an instruction made Heiyu Kuaidou stunned for a moment, but he still reached into his pocket immediately and touched the gem box that was originally placed deep in his pocket.
The moment he touched the box, Kuroba Kaito immediately understood.
This box... feels completely different from the ones he touched before!!
Wait a minute, he just had contact with Inspector Furuya, which means Inspector Furuya actually tried to exchange the box with him. The real gem is in Inspector Furuya's hands!!
"Crack."
The footsteps stopped behind him. The black-haired young man looked back and saw a man wearing a black suit and a strange dust mask, standing behind him like a zombie without a skeleton.
He exuded the smell of rotten wood, which made people feel quite uncomfortable.
"Are you the person in charge?" The man's hoarse voice made him feel inexplicably cold.
He saw the gun in the other person's hand and the muzzle of the gun pointed at him.
But when he learned that the gem in his hand was not a real gem, Heiyu Kaito was not afraid. He smiled slightly, but suddenly approached the window next to him, grasped the edge of the window tightly with one hand, and reached out to grab the box in his pocket.
"Of course." Under the gloomy gaze hidden behind the mask, Hei Yu Kaidou smiled slightly and raised the box in his hand.
"Want gems? Then go get them yourself!"
drop--
At the moment the sudden explosion sounded, Heiyu Kaito directly threw the box in his hand away. The man who was originally planning to pull the trigger was distracted when he noticed the box. The bullet only grazed his cheek and quickly hit the wall beside him.
“Boom!”
“Hula——”
The moment the bullet hit, Black Feather Kaito flew out of the window like a bird. But a huge heat wave followed - the explosion from the window on one side ignited a flame that burned directly through his cloak.
“Wow!!!”
Heiyu Kaito was shocked. Although he had expected that the opponent would attack him, he did not expect such an accident to happen.
The glider that was originally flying normally suddenly had a hole burned in it, and its balance was instantly destroyed. The white bird trembled in the air and then crashed vertically towards the sea level.
·
Ten minutes ago, on the other side of the cruise ship.
"Thank you for your hard work, Inspector Furuya."
Shigetsu Tsujimoto took the box from the other party and smiled at him.
"Or maybe you'd be more accustomed to being called [Thief Kid]?"
"Hahahaha, it seems you have recognized it."
"Inspector Furutani", or rather, Black Feather Thief, was standing in front of Tsujimoto Shigetsu at this moment, and handed the box in his hand to him.
"The most dangerous place is the safest place. This is indeed a very good idea. I am afraid that even
"The Heart of the Ocean is just a cover for fishing. You also contributed a lot to catching this fish," said Shigetto Tsujimoto politely.
"I'm very sorry that your son was involved in this matter."
"Even if you don't bring him into this matter, he will definitely get involved in it himself." Inspector Furutani didn't care much.
The incident related to Pandora is also related to him. Kuroba Kaito has been investigating this matter in the past few years. Once he has grasped the clue, he will not let it go easily.
Instead of letting him figure it out on his own, it would be easier to protect his safety if we directly bring him into the system and arrange his schedule.
"I will go find him later. After all, even he would find it difficult to run into that gentleman in person." The Black Feathered Thief sighed.
"But I'm also curious, when did you find out that I was Black Feather Pirate? I feel like you've noticed it a long time ago, right?"
"It's hard to say." Shigetto Tsujimoto blinked but did not give a definite answer.
"See you then, and I hope everything goes well for you."
"Yeah, you too."
After a brief exchange of the items, the two passed each other again. Shigeto Tsujimoto held the box tightly in his hand, his fingers slightly tightened.
It's not time to end yet.
The fight between him and the BOSS has just begun.
