With this crucial information, everything fell into place, and the police naturally focused their attention on Scott.
"President Suzuki, I'm very sorry, but we just received information that the murderer may have escaped in a lifeboat."
When Inspector Megure heard the latest news from his subordinates, he frowned deeply; a lifeboat was missing from the ship.
He turned to Shiro Suzuki with a helpless expression and explained.
"Haha, it's alright. Now that we know he's not on the ship, everyone can finally get some rest."
Shiro Suzuki laughed it off, not taking it seriously at all.
With Yuzuru on the boat anyway, he didn't need to worry about any danger, regardless of whether the other party ran away or not.
"Everyone, go back and rest first. I will arrange for someone to deliver dinner to your rooms. We can talk about anything else when we get back to Dongdu."
"Okay, thank you for your help, Chairman Suzuki."
Everyone got up to say goodbye and went to their respective rooms.
"Young Master Yuzuru, let's go back and rest too."
Akemi blinked and said.
Since shy Ran hasn't accepted the idea of the four of them traveling together, she will still be sharing a room with Yuzuru Nanayuu tonight.
"You guys go back first, I'll be right back."
Yu Sheng Nan watched Pu Si Qing Lan's retreating figure and gently patted the little maid's head.
After everyone in the restaurant had left, Officer Shiratori, who had been investigating the scene outside, silently appeared behind Hanyu Nan.
She placed her hands naturally on Yuzuru's shoulders and gently massaged them.
"Is this the person they're going to assign to me?"
"So? Does it have potential?"
"It looks pretty good."
“Superficial, I mean whether it has the potential to become a well-known brand.”
"We'll have to see how she performs from here on out!"
...
The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the curtains.
"Okay, I understand. I'll be there in a bit."
Ai hung up the phone call from Yuzuru Nanagi, who had asked her to go treasure hunting at the castle together. She stretched, took a bowl of spirit rice porridge from the kitchen, and headed to the basement.
Snap!
The basement lights came on, illuminating the entire dim space.
Kuroba Chikage remained in the same position as yesterday, firmly bound to the cold table.
His body was twitching slightly, and he appeared extremely weak.
"Big sister, I've brought you your lunch."
Ai walked briskly to the table and placed the steaming hot spirit rice porridge next to Kuroba Chikage's short purple hair.
Seeing the other person's pitiful appearance, Ai felt a pang of pity, but more than that, she felt excited and happy.
After all, such a torturous opportunity doesn't come every day!
She had a lot of fun yesterday.
To prevent accidents caused by the "toy," you should still feed your child when it's time to eat!
"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!"
Upon hearing the sound, Kuroba Chikage, who had been staring blankly at the ceiling, slowly turned her head.
A pair of brown-gold eyes stared coldly at Ai.
If looks could kill, Ai Haibara would have died many times over.
When has a phantom thief like Lady Su ever suffered such humiliation?
She now harbors a deep-seated hatred for this seemingly innocent and kind-hearted but actually cunning and wicked little witch in front of her.
"Oh, don't be angry, it's just a little game!"
Xiao Ai leaned against the table with a smile, propping her head up with one hand and gently tapping the little ball in her mouth with the other, her tone full of teasing.
She simply repeated the game that Yuzuru and she had played on him, but she didn't expect that he would be so unbearable.
They're so useless. With such meager skills, they still have the nerve to steal things like others.
"Let me help the older sister."
~
"besides……"
As soon as she could make a sound, Kuroba Chikage couldn't help but shout with all her might.
Her once beautiful face was now flushed, like a ripe apple, and sweat kept dripping down her forehead, wetting the strands of hair in front of her.
"Oh, look at my memory, I completely forgot!"
Ai patted her head as if suddenly realizing something, but she couldn't hide the amused smile on her lips.
She slowly took two steps to the other end of the table and fumbled around for a bit.
"Hey, it wasn't like this last night!"
Ai's little face was full of confusion. She swayed in the air, blinking her big eyes, as if she was really thinking about the question.
"Hmph!" Kuroba Chikage snorted coldly, turning his head away without saying a word.
She knew in her heart that she was completely finished this time, and there was no point in saying anything more.
But she remembered the humiliation she suffered this time!
Kuroba Chikage secretly vowed that once she escaped this hellish place, she would definitely kill... she would definitely use all these torturous tricks on this hateful little witch, and let her taste this kind of pain too!
Seeing Kuroba Chikage's appearance, Ai gave a meaningful smile.
No wonder Yuzuru Hanyu enjoys playing so much; it turns out this feeling is really awesome.
After getting to know her all day yesterday, Xiao Ai discovered that this seemingly arrogant woman actually had a hidden attribute.
This might be an attribute that even the other party themselves are unaware of.
As a scientist, she felt it was her responsibility and obligation to help the other party explore and develop the area.
Thinking this, Ai picked up another small ball from the table.
"Big sister, time to eat!"
Two small balls fell from the air into the steaming rice porridge, splashing up some tiny water droplets.
"you!"
Turning around, Kuroba Chikage witnessed this scene, and her eyes instantly blazed with fury. She felt an unprecedented sense of humiliation.
