Chapter 56 Chapter 56 Don’t Set Flags
"What, Lun, you said you already have an idea in mind?"
Isshiki Todumaru was a little shocked. If that was the case, it meant that he already had a clue about the real culprit, right?
"Well, the problem is, even though we know who the real murderer is... who is this so-called real murderer working for? It's completely confusing for both Milo and me."
But this incident may just be a boring episode for Milo. His plan has not yet begun...
It's probably about to end.
Kamo no Hashiro was messaging person A: "Why haven't you done anything yet?"
Person A: "I'd love to do it, but I need a chance! Do you think this is as easy as unplugging an internet cable?"
It's better to say that some people asked undercover agents to unplug the headquarters' network cable for fun. What are they doing? If the person on the other end wasn't their Blue chief Kamohashi Ron, he would really ask what they were doing, but if it was Kamohashi...
There must be a reason why he asked us to do this, right?
Kamohashi Ron then sent a message to person A: "Didn't Milo urge you to do it?"
Person A: "Huh? That guy's been really busy because of something unexpected. Also, Milo targeted someone close to you in the end, so you should be careful."
Kamobashi Ron: "You're the one who needs to be cautious, right? I don't need an undercover agent. Your identity is very likely to be exposed on the cruise ship this time. What are you going to do?"
Person A: "Why would you even ask? Just expose me and return to normal life. As for the M family's possible cleansing of traitors... don't we still have you?"
Kamohashi Ron: "Don't count on me for everything."
Person A: "I will really go back to the young lady."
Kamo no Hashiro: "...Don't make random promises. Finn and I don't want to have to carry sacrifices to you next time we see you."
Person A: “…”
Person A: "I'll try my best."

The commotion on the Exotic Dolphin soon subsided because the victims had regained consciousness. The only person who was emotionally unstable was probably the mother. She really thought that she would never see her child again, so she hugged him and cried and laughed. Robin tried to comfort her a little when he passed by, but it was obviously not as effective as comforting a surviving child.
Most of the passengers thought that this was just a minor incident that had nothing to do with them. After all, the person had been rescued and nothing had happened. The only ones who might have felt that something was wrong were probably the detectives present.
Elmer Stingray also asked Prosecutor Kazama, "Really? So we don't know which of those three people poisoned him?"
"As far as motives go, I think Miss Dolphin is a strong suspect," Prosecutor Kazama said. "But she keeps denying it. Even when I try to trick her, she's adamant. It's a struggle sometimes..."
Elmer: “…”
Did this person admit something truly unpleasant? Something about inducing a statement.
"The result is that we don't know who of the three people who passed by poisoned him. From a personal perspective, I really hope it was Robin." Prosecutor Kazama's sunglasses fell slightly, and he raised them with his hand. "But unfortunately, from what I know about that lawyer, he would have committed a crime if he wanted to, so he wouldn't have made such a big mistake."
"You seem to have a lot of resentment towards Robin?" Elmer and Robin weren't really familiar with each other. They only knew that he was the lawyer who offered himself to Kamohashi Ron. In fact, few people at the time believed that Kamohashi Ron would find a defense lawyer for himself. If there was a problem, Blue's genius detective would have discovered it himself, and the things he denied were completely memories - so most people believed that Kamohashi Ron must have really committed the murder.
However, neither Elmer nor Kamohashi's parents thought so, and as for himself...
"Because it's a secret room, and there's no one else there, and I have no memory of it. So, even if it wasn't me—I don't have any evidence to prove my innocence for the time being. People who don't know me want to believe me, they either have strong judgment or are complete fools... Even if I really am considered a murderer, I will only blame myself and cannot hate the criminals. Otherwise, I will gradually start to hate Blue, hate society, and eventually become a criminal myself..."
Prosecutor Kazama remained silent about Robin's affairs.
"Oh, you're surprisingly quiet." Elmer didn't seem surprised by what Prosecutor Kazama said. "Because, as you know, Kazama-kun, you were also a suspect in the Blood Internship Case."
Prosecutor Kazama coughed twice and said, "It seems the person involved doesn't intend to pursue that matter?"
Elmer smiled but said nothing.

"It's probably just a boring little incident. Although the real culprit hasn't been found yet, it's obvious that it must be one of those three people." Hirsch said to Finn, "But come to think of it, there are too many boring acquaintances on this cruise ship. I thought I was just here for vacation."
"Actually, everyone involved in the Blood Internship case was present at the time, except for Kamonohashi Ron's father," Finn said without much surprise. "Wasn't there a rumor at the time that you, Hirsch, were abroad? So, you were involved in that incident, too?"
"Who spread the rumors about me abroad? You know, I performed the autopsies on all the deceased. To be honest, I'm quite convinced that Kamonohashi killed them unconsciously. After all, they were all killed with a single, beautiful blow. I'm afraid the deceased didn't even feel any pain."
Finn: "Come to think of it, who did I hear about you being abroad?"
The look on the other side of the carp slightly wandered: "Well, Kamonohashi seems to be looking for me, so I'll leave first."
"Looks like it's the shaggy-haired ...
"Well, I'm contacting Kamonohashi. After all, our relationship has improved a lot since the Blood Internship Case." Sha's eyes continued to wander. "Miss, you wouldn't let me not contact any friends at all, right?"
"Hmm?" Hirsch was a little surprised. "Friends? As far as I know, Kamohashi Ron seems to only have one friend, and that's the silly detective next to him. He shouldn't have any other friends. And your behavior, compared to your friendship with Kamohashi Ron..."
"It's more like I'm being threatened by Kamonohashi Ron," Finn said. "Does he have any leverage over you?"
Chi: "..."
Shan silently picked up his phone and sent a message to Kamohashi Ron.
Person A: "Help! Missy and Mr. Hirsch have discovered me! What should I say?!"
Kamo no Hashiro: "Why don't you just tell the truth? You haven't committed any crime, so what are you afraid of... Oh, sorry, I forgot. If you tell the truth, your judicial transaction will be exposed. You don't want Mr. Finn to know, right?"
Person A: Anyway, please come and save me!
Kamo no Hashiron: I can't get away, but I've already notified Elmer to rescue you.

"To be precise, it's not that Lun has evidence against him. After all, if he's serious about that, he could sue Lun." Elmer suddenly appeared. "Long time no see, Mr. Finn, and Professor Hirsch."
"You were the transfer student who arrived three days before the Blood Internship Case, and then you transferred away after confirming Kamohashi Ron's innocence," Finn said. "I remember you. You were also a witness in the Blood Internship Case."
"It seems Mr. Finn has a good memory. Since this is a matter related to the theory, I can't just sit back and watch." Elmer said, "In fact, Shachi-san has always been in contact with our family."
"Our...home?" Finn looked at the dragon uncertainly.
"The Holmes family," Sha said with a sigh. "Elmer and I got in touch after the Blood Internship Case."
"If I remember correctly, this generation of Sherlock Holmes...that is, Ms. Romy Holmes seems to have only one son. And that only son is Kamohashi, isn't he?" Finn quickly realized, "Ah...so that's why you are still in contact now."
Hirsch: "I think I did hear that the Holmes family is investigating a few cold cases, but because they are so famous, they can't go deep and can only find trustworthy people who have nothing to do with Holmes to investigate. It seems that the case is related to that Liar."
"That's right."
Finn: "So this is the little trick you've been up to."
Elmer: "I'm so sorry, but since this is so complex, I don't have the authority to explain. I have no choice but to explain. After all, I've already infiltrated Liar's core."
"But, if I remember correctly, wasn't that Liar... originally connected to that legendary thief, Arsene Lupin?" Hirsch suddenly said. "And the so-called proof of Liar's leadership is that 'L'-shaped brooch. Why do I feel like I've seen this somewhere recently?"
"He was wearing it when Kamonohashi greeted us," Finn said. "So he...?"
"Well, I'm a little disappointed. I've returned it to its original owner. After all, I was just borrowing it." Kamohashi Ron said, "Sorry, Tani, I'm a little late."
"Huh?! No, where did you go just now? I was being jointly questioned by Mr. Hirsch and Mr. Finn."
"It would be better if you got used to this kind of thing sooner," said Kamohashi Ron. "I've already returned the brooch to Arsene Lupin's descendants. After all, the L on the brooch doesn't stand for 'Liar,' but for 'Lupin.'"
