Chapter 65

Chaohi Yuqiu was floating in the air. He originally wanted to land directly, but when he saw the group of people below were stunned and dancing, he hung in the air again - thanks to the latest equipment modified by the monster thief Kidd, which can support suspension in mid-air.

I always feel like I'm in hell the moment I land. I wonder if he's going to be arrested by the enthusiastic crowd of fans. I'm really just a passerby who accidentally got on the wrong ticket!

However, since he and Phantom Thief Kid are currently the top of each other, in order to keep it a secret, Asahi Yuaki cannot speak out openly.

Asahi Yuqiu racked his brains to think of a contingency strategy. Just as he was about to say something to comfort them, "Calm down," he heard someone below him speak before him, "Thief Kidd, calm down!"

Chaori Xiqiu: “?”

Hey, why did you steal my lines?

People on the ground noticed the child in the hands of the "strange thief" in the white suit in the sky, and the countdown box in the child's hand.

Just take a closer look at the red glowing countdown box and you'll see it's a time bomb.

I don't know when it started, but bombs have become as common as street melons, and people in Tokyo, especially in Beika-cho, have become conditioned to it.

Most people have trained themselves to run away when they see eight eggs, and can run from zero frame. But at this time on the boat, there is nowhere to run, so I turned around and advised the other party to calm down.

"Calm down, young man, and don't go to extremes."

"That's right, put the kid down first. Young people shouldn't play with bombs. It has no future!"

"Art is about not exploding, bro."

The people on the ground were trying to persuade him earnestly. Conan Edogawa also turned his eyes away from his phone and focused on the present.

But he was not nervous, because Edogawa Conan didn't think that the monster thief Kid would carry and detonate a bomb, and the man in the white suit was suspected to be Asahi Yuaki, so it was even less likely that the things that people around him were worried about would happen.

A simple guess is that the countdown bomb box was most likely found by them from below, and they dismantled it and brought it up.

——That is what the strange email just said, someone else placed a bomb on the ship.

Morishita crew member. Conan Edogawa turned his gaze and locked onto the tall, thin, gray-haired man in the crowd.

In the chef murder case just now, the Morishita crew member was one of the three suspects. So after reading the email, Conan Edogawa was able to quickly find the other party from the crowd accurately.

Captain Morishita's face did not look very good. He revealed a kind of unclear anxiety, and his hanging fingers were constantly rubbing, which was an obvious sign that he was worried.

While everyone was looking up and urging the "Bomb Kidd" floating in the air to calm down, the Morishita crew member stepped aside alone, as if intending to evacuate quietly.

Conan Edogawa noticed the actions of the crew member Morishita. He stood there hesitating for a moment, then finally firmed up his expression and decided to follow.

He didn't want to miss any opportunity. Edogawa Conan simply checked his equipment, tilted his head and whispered a few words to Huibara Ai, then followed in small steps.

——If you want to obtain intelligence related to the organization, you cannot avoid danger.

As the saying goes, wealth comes with danger... At least, the Morishita crew seems to be easier to deal with than Gin and the others. What's more, there may be a companion on the ship.

Companion. The moment this word popped up, Edogawa Conan paused. It seemed that he had made a conclusion too early.

It is impossible to judge the true position of a stranger based on a letter alone. The only information that can be obtained is that the other party and the organization are not compatible, and they are probably temporary partners.

Nightingale. Edogawa Conan silently recited this name in his mind, chewing it carefully, trying to discover the meaning behind this code name.

For some reason, he always felt that this nickname was familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere... where?

Conan Edogawa has had a good memory since he was a child, and he can dig out many things from the depths of his mind even if he only met them once. But sometimes he can't remember them too quickly.

As he recalled this, he quietly followed the Morishita crew member from behind.

After walking for a distance, Edogawa Conan slowly remembered that Maori Kogoro's new apprentice, code-named Bourbon, whose real name is Amuro Toru but whose real identity is Japanese Public Security Officer Furuya Rei, had read a book of poems many times.

Edogawa Conan remembered a piece he had read called "Ode to the Nightingale". This was actually the cover of the book.

Conan Edogawa has seen book covers many times, so he has a deep impression of the word "Nightingale".

At this moment, he suddenly remembered where he had seen this before. Conan Edogawa's first reaction was: Could it be that [Nightingale] is a Japanese public security officer? Are there public security officers on the ship?

But the Japanese public security officers didn't seem to speak in that tone, and the email also involved his true identity! This was not something that ordinary public security police would notice.

"..." Edogawa Conan clenched his fists, his sapphire eyes flashed, and he finally made a decision. He then took the time to tell Amuro Toru about it.

Regardless of whether this email is related to the police, the new intelligence is suitable for sharing with the other party. At present, their enemies are the same.

The ship was swaying and swaying on the sea. Because of the murder, the luxury cruise ship's itinerary ended early, and it had changed its course and was preparing to dock at the shore.

Because of the murder in the kitchen and the attention caused by the phantom thief Kid, most people gathered in the cabin, and the deck was empty with almost no pedestrians.

Crew member Morishita walked along the shadow cast by the building, sticking to the wall. He crawled slowly like a mouse or a snake.

Conan Edogawa narrowed his eyes. He could feel that something was wrong with the crew member Morishita just from the back.

What exactly is the other party going to do?

Because most of his attention was focused on the front, he did not notice the raised iron plate under his feet. When he stepped on it with his left foot, a crisp sound was heard in the air.

Edogawa Conan: “!”

Almost immediately after the sound was heard, the Morishita crew member was shocked and turned around quickly. His expression was tense, and his eyes were bloodshot, making him look like a demon.

"..." Conan Edogawa held his breath and hid himself behind several wooden boxes nearby.

Crew member Morishita was breathing heavily. He glanced behind him and finally focused on the pile of boxes where Conan Edogawa was.

He reached into his pocket with one hand, as if grasping some weapon, and then walked towards that direction.

Conan Edogawa pursed his lips, his body stiff. He placed one hand on the other wrist, the anesthetic needle aimed and ready to deal with any emergency.

Both sides were hiding their auras, and the deck had never been so quiet.

"——Morishita."

Just at this moment, a low voice was heard, attracting the attention of Morishita's crew.

Conan Edogawa subconsciously moved his gaze and looked through the gap between the boxes that didn't completely overlap at the person who happened to help him out: a man with long silver hair stepped out of the shadows, a cigarette between his teeth, and the white smoke drifted to one side.

It's gin!

Conan Edogawa seemed to be frozen in an instant, his fingers curled up slightly, and fear spread from the bottom of his heart. He clenched his teeth, tried to calm himself down, and tried his best to reduce his breathing to the minimum.

Stay calm and keep your composure. If you are careful, you won't be noticed.

Now is the most critical moment, I need to hear clearly what they are talking about. Edogawa Conan said to himself in his heart.

Crew member Morishita's eyes fell on Gin who was not far away. He was startled at first, then he relaxed his brows that had been tense just now: "It's you." He shrugged his shoulders, "I thought someone was following me... What's the matter?"

"Of course it's because of your finishing touch." Gin raised his head, his attitude showing arrogance and indifference, "Messed up, didn't you?"

"…It's not that I screwed up. In fact, I've cleaned up most of the traces, except for a small part."

It seems that the crew member Morishita was not satisfied with what Gin said. He said angrily, "It's all the fault of that thief Kidd. He ruined my plan. Wasn't his target the gems on the display stand? Why did he go inside the ship? He even took away the final explosives I placed!"

Gin actually has the answer to this question in his heart.

When he saw Asahi Yuiaki, who had recovered as an adult and was dressed as a thief, and the child in Asahi's arms who was wearing Asahi's childhood clothes, he had a guess.

Vodka... The person he drugged not long ago was the thief Kid. Gin silently exhaled a puff of smoke, and for a moment, thought. Is Vodka usually so lucky? ?

In short, although it is unclear how Asahi Yuaki regained his adult form, it is obvious that the two have now switched identities. Gin saw it.

Crew member Morishita continued to whisper resentfully, squeezing out a sound from his throat: "That kid in the white suit thinks he's so cool. When the time comes, I'm going to knock him down and see if he can still be so arrogant!" He put one hand in his pocket, tightly grasping the thing hidden inside.

"..." Gin turned his gaze back upon hearing that, his dark green wolf eyes were calm and without any wavering.

"I know you're here to help me finish it. But that's not necessary." Crew member Morishita exhaled and waved his hands, "I can handle this myself."

Gin chuckled softly, "No, I'm afraid you can't do it yourself."

Crew member Morishita was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand. He frowned, and his eyes passed Gin and fell on the pile of wooden boxes behind him.

Crew member Morishita's expression darkened. "Come to think of it, we haven't cleaned up the scene yet while we were talking... Shouldn't we clean it up?"

Through the gap in the wooden box, Conan Edogawa noticed the gaze of crew member Morishita heading over, and his heart skipped a beat.

Have you been discovered? Oops!!

If there was only one crew member, Conan Edogawa would still be confident that he could subdue him. But now there is Gin——

His heart was pounding and his palms were cold and sweaty. But he did not give up.

Conan Edogawa licked the corner of his lips. He twisted the control button on his shoe, ready to use the football to take the initiative and delay the evacuation if necessary.

Hearing the hint from the crew member Morishita, Gin raised the corners of his lips and said in a hoarse voice: "...Yes, it's time to clean up."

As he finished speaking, there was a loud explosion from the bow of the ship in the distance! It was not a particularly large explosion, it sounded like the sound of some machine burning out and exploding.

Conan Edogawa's attention was subconsciously attracted by the sound from the bow, and it was not until two or three seconds later that he reacted belatedly: Just now, it seemed that two sounds were heard.

One was a distant explosion, the other—

Conan Edogawa turned his head abruptly, and through the gap in the box, he saw the figure of crew member Morishita falling backwards on the deck.

There was a bloody hole on the other person's head, and blood mixed with brain matter flowed out.

Edogawa Conan: "?!"

What happened!? His expression was blank.

Gin is an extremely skilled marksman and knows how to kill people quickly, accurately and fiercely without leaving too much unnecessary blood.

He acted decisively, grabbed the Morishita crew member by the collar, and threw him into the sea.

There was only a slight "thump" sound, which was almost drowned out by the movement of the ship and the aftermath of the explosion, and was only completed in Conan Edogawa's imagination.

There was no more movement at the scene, only a few drops of blood splashed on the edge of the ground indicated what had just happened. But soon, these drops of blood evidence also disappeared.

"..." Conan Edogawa held the wooden box tightly with his fingers. He suppressed the shock in his throat and did not make any unnecessary sounds. It was useless to call for help or justice at this time.

But his mind did not stop there, but became more active. He thought quickly, combining the explosion and the extermination.

There is no such coincidence in the world - I'm afraid that the explosion from the bow, that unexpected, loud but not exaggerated mechanical explosion, was probably deliberately arranged by Gin.

Gin's Beret has a silencer installed, but even so, it still makes a loud noise.

So it was perfect to set up a small incident at the other end to attract other people's attention, with a louder noise to cover up the gunshot.

Conan Edogawa exhaled silently, he tilted his head slightly, intending to continue paying attention to the white-haired killer standing there.

Has the other party discovered him? Will he also come to clean him up?

Conan Edogawa tightened his body, ready for any possible situation. However, when he blinked a few times and looked over again, there was no one at the scene.

——Gin had already disappeared from where he was.

Edogawa Conan:?

He was stunned, a little surprised.

Logically speaking, Gin shouldn't be such a casual person. He shouldn't just leave without checking his surroundings?

Could it be that he had just shot and killed someone, and in order to avoid being targeted, he left the scene early and created an alibi?

But speaking of it... this time's gin seems a little bit inconsistent.

Conan Edogawa recalled what had just happened:

When he was almost discovered, Gin stood up; when Morishita crew had already discovered him and hinted to deal with him, Gin took the initiative to shoot and deal with Morishita crew; just now, after the incident was over, Gin didn't even clean up the scene, but walked away calmly.

Was this intentional or accidental?

At this moment, Conan Edogawa remembered the previous study trip with Asahi Yuaki.

At that time, Gin even transformed himself into a "passionate citizen" and pulled the elementary school student Asahi Yuaki out from the bottom of the pit.

Could it be that... Could it be that Gin really likes children? ? ? That's why Gin is particularly tolerant and helpful to children!

Conan Edogawa's brain crashed.

No no no, this scene is just like a childhood nightmare, sitting at the head of the bed and telling a story softly...even more terrifying!!!

He took a deep breath and thought that it would be better to think about the possibility that Gin was a friendly force (). Although it was equally terrifying, at least it didn't give him goosebumps.

Conan Edogawa looked around through the narrow gap between the stacked wooden boxes, and after confirming that there was no one there, he carefully stepped out from behind the boxes.

The sea breeze was salty and humid, but the wind that blew was extremely cool, without even a trace of the smell of blood.

Conan Edogawa almost thought that everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

He stood there, patted his face, and the strange email he had just read appeared in front of his eyes again.

In that email, Nightingale mentioned that there were some evidence and some objects in Morishita's room.

This was also the original purpose of Conan Edogawa following: to obtain intelligence.

He walked out from behind the box, thinking about the location of the crew room that he remembered when he solved the murder case in the kitchen just now, and prepared to take a look there.

——A hand suddenly patted my shoulder.

"!" Conan Edogawa almost jumped up on the spot. He turned his head back sharply and the anesthetic needle in his hand had already been ejected.

With a "whoosh" sound, the anesthetic needle was injected into the arm of the person behind him.

The man had slightly curly black hair, blue eyes, and a face very similar to his. Feeling a slight pain coming from his arm, he stared with wide eyes at the special anesthetic needle melting into his body.

"... No way, Detective..." Kuroba Kaito didn't expect to be stabbed right after he arrived, and he didn't even have time to explain! !

Asahi and Yuaki had just put him down. In order to avoid being arrested immediately as the thief Kid, Asahi rushed out of the crowd holding the bomb and flew away on a hang glider.

The two of them have truly exchanged identities temporarily, but both sides are confused.

Kuroba Kaito is in no condition to contact the butler to fight alone, so he can only choose to cooperate - the first person he looks for is naturally Edogawa Conan, who is also Kudo Shinichi who shrunk earlier.

By the way, he also wants to tell the other party about the current situation of Meat Floss Egg Roll (?), to see if Conan can contact him remotely.

Who knew that he had just arrived and had no time to say anything before he was unexpectedly given an injection.

Normally, Kuroba Kaito could dodge it, but this time he really started with zero frames and Yasugen had no time to react.

Conan Edogawa was also surprised.

To be honest, he didn't know the child in front of him, but based on his face, voice, name, clothes, and Chao Ri Xi Qiu's whereabouts, he began to react a little and made some tentative guesses.

"...The Thief Kidd?"

Is it the Phantom Thief Kidd? Is it true? Why did the Phantom Thief Kidd also shrink and become a child? Is this world a huge Aptx4869? ?

Could it be that Gin was the one who was shrunk again? Edogawa Conan was silent for a moment. Now he really wondered if Gin had a grand plan to build kindergartens around the world.

Hei Yu Kuai Dou was injected with an anesthetic needle, and his eyes were dizzy. He opened his mouth, but only managed to utter half a sentence: "... black bread, pork floss egg roll..."

He wore his own clothes, transformed into Kidd, and flew away on a hang glider! We need a way to get in touch with him!!

But before he could finish the second half of the sentence, he fell headfirst. Edogawa Conan only heard him counting the types of bread.

Edogawa Conan: “?”

No, wait, is it Kidd? Did I just read bread or a person's name...Speaking of which, where did Asahi Yuki go???

the other side.
