Chapter 793 Hiring a Killer
Because they were a little far apart, Sonoko Suzuki and her companion didn't hear everything they were saying.
Seeing Yuuji Teruyuki leave looking somewhat angry, their curiosity instantly intensified.
As soon as Kuno Naya walked over, they went to greet her and asked her questions with great interest.
"Nayazuki, what did you say to Yuuji-san? She just left in a huff!"
"She didn't say anything, just that she probably wouldn't have a chance or something." Kuno Naya Tsuki smiled gently.
But they instantly realized something else and smiled knowingly.
Kuno Naya glanced at them and immediately guessed what they were thinking, but she didn't explain.
—The main point is that explanations are not very useful.
If I say it directly, they'll think I'm... shy.
Conan, who had been called away by Sonoko Suzuki to pull Chizuka away, glanced at the three girls huddled together and couldn't help but reveal a half-moon-shaped expression. "So... what are they talking about?"
Qianzhu shrugged slightly, and a smile appeared in her eyes as her gaze swept over a person whose steps seemed somewhat hurried.
A young man in a dark blue suit walked quickly to the side of a middle-aged man in a gray suit and whispered something to him. Judging from his anxiety, this was no small matter.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's pupils contracted slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and whispered a few instructions to the young man who was listening intently.
The young man nodded knowingly.
Then Chizuru saw the young man scan the crowd and walk straight toward where Kogoro Mouri was.
Qianzhu glanced at Conan, patted his head, and gestured for him to look in that direction.
Conan looked over in confusion and then saw a young man talking to Kogoro Mouri.
He watched as Uncle Mori's expression changed from confusion to doubt, then to seriousness, and finally to solemnity. He stopped eating his snacks and followed the young man away.
Seeing this, Conan blinked, then slipped away and quietly followed behind.
After watching them leave, Qianzhu stopped paying attention and instead looked at the middle-aged man.
He is the owner of the Venus cruise ship and the uncle of Kaguya Yukizuki, Kimimoto Fumio.
Qianzhu glanced at him, then at the phone in her hand, and clicked her tongue in a cryptic tone.
Regarding the murder, Jun Fumio did not make a fuss. He simply said a few words into the microphone and then told everyone to eat, drink, and have fun while he went to the crime scene.
Ran Mouri turned around and found that Conan was gone again. She looked around and only saw Chizuru standing in the corner, looking at the sea view through the window.
They walked toward him.
Ran Mouri: "Chitake, have you seen where Conan and my dad went?"
Qianzhu snapped out of her daze, turned her head to look at them, blinked, and replied softly, "I just saw a gentleman take Uncle Mori away, and Conan seemed to follow him, but I don't know where they went."
"Let's ask around."
Sonoko Suzuki reached out and grabbed a passing waiter, asking him if he knew where Kogoro Mouri was.
The waiter thought for a moment, "Mr. Mori, is that right? Mr. Kimimoto took him to the fifth floor. You can go there and take a look."
"I understand, thank you."
"You're welcome."
After the waiter left, Sonoko Suzuki turned to the others and asked, "Shall we go to the fourth floor now?"
"Okay." Ran Mouri nodded.
"But was Uncle Mori called over because of a murder case?" Kuno Naya 'guessed'. "After all, even Conan went with him, so the probability of it not being a murder case seems a bit low."
Ran Mouri remained silent for a moment.
Indeed, it seems that wherever Conan appears, all sorts of cases occur...
She even suspected that Conan was possessed by the Grim Reaper.
They went up to the fourth floor and knew where Kogoro Mouri and the others were without even looking for them.
Room 521 was cordoned off with police tape.
"It really has been a murder case."
Sonoko Suzuki was already used to it.
When they reached the door of room 521, they saw the gruesome corpse inside.
Even Ran Mouri, who was used to all kinds of murder cases, couldn't help but feel shocked and even a little nauseous.
All three girls couldn't help but vomit.
Kuno Naya used her fan to cover the area below her eyes, and a smile flickered in her eyes as she looked at the tragic dead body in the room.
I'll let you bump into me.
Because it was someone she knew who was murdered, Yuuji Teruyuki was summoned shortly after returning to her room.
She stood inside the house, her face somewhat pale, but she noticed Chizuru and the others as soon as they appeared at the door, and also caught a glimpse of the smile that flashed across Kuno Naya's eyes.
Yuuji Teruyuki's eyes flickered slightly, and he suppressed his nausea as he glanced at the corpse again.
So Uncle Hiraguchi is the guy who bumped into that woman today...
When Naya Tsuki noticed the way Yumi Teru was looking at her, she smiled at her in a friendly manner.
Yuudera Teruyuki resisted the urge to roll his eyes and simply lowered his head, refusing to look at her again.
Although she did have a slight hope that Kuno Naya was the killer, Hiraguchi-san died while they were still in the banquet hall.
Besides, how could a woman possibly have the strength to deal with a tall, muscular middle-aged man...?
Hiring someone to commit murder?
A thought flashed through Yuuji Teruyuki's mind, but she quickly dismissed it.
...If she could do that on a ship, she would have done it a long time ago.
Yumeji Kagetsu stood obediently beside Kimimoto Fumio, as quiet as a chicken.
At this moment, Inspector Megure is still questioning the staff member in charge of Naoto Hiraguchi's schedule.
Staff member: "Also, before 6:30, young master Kita Aya had met with Mr. Hiraguchi."
"Young Master Kita Aya?" Inspector Megure asked in confusion, feeling that the surname sounded somewhat familiar.
"Well, I don't think Young Master Bei Ling is the murderer," the staff member added.
"Why?"
"Because Young Master Bei Ling is blind."
As soon as he mentioned it, Inspector Megure remembered.
He is Kita Aya Otogo, the only son of the Kita Aya Group, who is quite famous in the business world.
"I see. But we still need to ask him some questions. Where is he now?"
Inspector Megure nodded, then looked at the staff and asked again.
"Young Master Bei Ling is in room 511."
After saying that, the staff member led the way to the door of room 511.
A large group of people followed behind.
He knocked on the door and called out, "Young Master Bei Ling, are you free now?"
