Now you understand~"
"No wonder." Tang Ze suddenly realized, "So those magicians are trying to please the boss's daughter, that's why they are so attentive to her."
After all, no matter how talented and famous a magician is, he still has to make money.
How much can you earn in a year just from the ticket revenue of the magic show? You also have to rent the venue and build the stage, all of which cost money.
But commercial performances are different. For performances like this one on a luxury yacht, due to stage limitations, you only need to perform some performances that look exquisite and magical but are actually very simple.
Moreover, food, drink and accommodation on the ship are all free. It can be said that except when performing, you are working, and the rest of the time you are traveling on public funds.
This is a very good source of income for magicians.
Because of this, it is necessary to please the daughter of the major shareholder without affecting the performance.
After all, if you want to continue making a living on the cruise ship, the other person's words still carry a lot of weight.
After realizing this, Tang Ze couldn't help but laugh at himself.
It's really because of my long-term experience in predicting cases that I have developed a mentality of chasing shadows. Whenever there is a slight sign that is in line with the "law of science", I will unconsciously think of the worst.
Now after listening to Ayako's explanation and understanding the reasons behind the three magicians' courtesy, I naturally felt relieved.
Come to think of it, Conan's "main storyline" should be almost over at this point. Since the "God of Death" can't take care of this side, how could there be another murder?
Thinking of this, Tang Ze relaxed again.
After the performance, the two enjoyed dinner and did not go to the lively disco show in the evening. Instead, they went to the deck to admire the starry sky.
Because it is far away from the city, the stars in the night sky are clearly visible, making people unconsciously immersed in it.
But at this moment, the lights on the deck suddenly went out, plunging the entire cruise ship into darkness.
"The power is out?" Tang Ze frowned as he looked at the darkness surrounding him.
"It's okay, the backup power supply should start up soon."
Ayako smiled and looked up at the night sky: "Besides, the moon is so bright today. Without the lights, we can appreciate the starry sky better."
“Ahhhhhhhh!!”
Shortly after Ayako finished speaking, a scream suddenly broke the quiet night, making people feel panic unconsciously.
"What happened..." After hearing the scream, Ayako unconsciously shrank towards Tang Ze.
"I'm not sure, let's go and take a look." Putting his arm around Ayako and holding her hand in his palm, Tang Ze took Ayako and walked downstairs.
The scream just now caused a lot of confusion, and people on the street were talking about it, most of them were unaware of the situation.
"I'm a criminal, what happened?"
The backup power supply on the ship started up quickly and the lights became bright again. Tang Ze looked at the noisy crowd and shouted, causing the people around him to quiet down.
After hearing Tang Ze's words, the people around him quickly started to help him shout and convey the message, and soon a waiter hurried over.
"Excuse me, sir, are you a criminal?"
The young boy panted and said, "A murder has occurred in the room over there. Mr. Criminal, please come with me..."
Hearing the waiter's words, Ayako unconsciously covered her mouth and screamed in surprise. She didn't expect that a murder would happen on the cruise ship.
Tang Ze's face turned serious, his eyes shrouded in a dark cloud.
He never expected that he would be slapped in the face so quickly. He had just thought that Conan was distracted by something and that no murder would happen, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face so quickly.
This "slap" made him dizzy and embarrassed.
After all, he originally thought that something was going on with Conan, so he had nothing to worry about. But now a case happened right in the environment where he was.
Now he couldn't even find anyone to shift the blame to.
Perhaps his "death physique" played a role in this case.
But now is not the time to talk about this. Tang Ze calmed himself down and quickly looked at the waiter and said, "I understand. Please lead the way."
Following the male waiter all the way, Tang Ze continued to communicate with him along the way.
After learning that the cruise ship was about to arrive in Tokyo, Tang Ze felt a little relieved.
After all, a murder occurring in the isolated ocean is nothing compared to having the Metropolitan Police Department as a backing.
This is not only reflected in the logistical support, but also concerns the situation and safety of the entire cruise ship.
Not to mention that a murder on an isolated island would cause panic among the people. Even if Tang Ze could catch the criminal, he would have to be careful to prevent the other party from installing a bomb on the cruise ship and taking everyone to death.
Although the possibility is relatively small, in this world, the possibility of such a thing happening is very high, and it is at least one of the factors that must be guarded against.
If the Metropolitan Police Department is about to enter the scene, it means it is a simple murder case. Even if they have to wait until they have solved the case, it can still play a big role in controlling the situation and stabilizing people's hearts.
While feeling a little relieved, Tang Ze and the other man had already followed the waiter to the room where the crime scene occurred.
Tang Ze asked Ayako to wait for him at the door like the onlookers, while he followed the male waiter who led the way and entered the room.
But when he entered the bedroom of the hotel, he found that Saotome Yoko, who was at the peak of her popularity, was dead on the bed with blood at the corner of her mouth.
A young girl in a maid outfit was lying beside the bed, crying.
