The discovery of the corpse immediately caused everyone to panic, but soon, detectives led by Maori Kogoro began to investigate. Everyone returned to the cabin and concentrated the suspects among those holding the Devil Card.

"It seems that no one saw you here just now, which means that your alibi is not valid at all."

Maori Kogoro stood in front of the mummy and swore, successfully making the mummy, who was wrapped in bandages, panic and say:

"What? This is a trap!" He gestured hard to make people believe him, "This must be... must be someone? A conspiracy to frame me! It must be."

"When the murderer is cornered, he will cry out for innocence like you do. In short, you don't have a tarot card that symbolizes your alibi in this murder case. I'm sorry, Mr. Mummy."

Maori Kogoro leaned towards the mummy, and his imposing manner made the mummy look pitiful.

"Now the only possibility is you."

In the corner, Morobushi Kagemitsu couldn't help but cover his face. Although he had already cracked the filter of this police academy legend, Mori-senpai, and knew that most of the cases were solved by Conan, the feeling of knowing the truth but not being able to tell it was too uncomfortable. It was so embarrassing. Someone please come quickly...

"You're wrong to think so, Detective Maori." A cold voice suddenly sounded, breaking the situation that seemed to be a foregone conclusion.

"What—" Detective Maori shouted in confusion, looking around for the person who spoke.

"In this case, the truth remains in the dark." The voice said calmly.

"This is coming from Captain Ghost's microphone." Someone finally realized the source of the sound and shouted.

"Damn it, on the deck," Kogoro Mouri immediately realized the other party's location and rushed back to the deck. Sonoko and others followed closely and came to the deck together, the stage bathed in the moonlight.

———

So noisy——

In the room at the corner of the cabin, a section connected to a staircase formed a stable triangular structure. The space was small and dark. A man dressed as a werewolf was curled up inside, covering his ears with his hands expressionlessly...

No,

The hand that was reaching up got stuck in mid-air, and then moved down awkwardly.

The wolf ears are fake and my own ears are underneath.

Noel covered his ears expressionlessly, then gave up.

It's useless, the outside world is still so annoying...

My excellent hearing allows the noisy sounds around me to intrude into my brain and stir things up, making it impossible for me to calm down. I have finally found a place to isolate myself for a while, why can't I have some peace and quiet outside?

If I had known I would not have come to this party. It would have been much better to stay at home and sleep. There are soft pillows at home, it's very warm, and there is delicious meat...

Thinking of this, Noel subconsciously raised his head, and as expected, he bumped into the wood above, which made him even more upset.

Today is such a bad day, everything feels like a mess.

He finally came out reluctantly, stretched his stiff body, and walked out of the room.

Why are you all gathered on the deck?

Noel rubbed his eyes and saw the scene clearly. He frowned and recalled that the murder should have happened during this period, but the murderer should have received the letter. What is the situation now? The reasoning game arranged by the party program team?

However, the salty sea breeze brought a hint of blood to Noel, and the unmistakable smell instantly sobered him up.

The smell of blood is really deadly.

He quickly took in the scene in front of him. Sonoko and others, led by Kogoro Mori, were surrounding the corpse. On the observation deck was Hattori Heiji dressed as an invisible man. The scene was exactly the same as in his memory, which made him feel a little cold for a moment. Then, a rare impulse came over him.

Noel quickly walked into the crowd and grabbed the man wearing the werewolf mask. He looked down at him from a tall position, his gray-green eyes under his hair were full of coldness. He asked:

"Why did you kill someone?"

The werewolf in the mask obviously didn't react at all. He felt his collar being tugged at and started to struggle. He shouted, "What are you talking about? Let me go!"

"I said, you have received the letter, why kill someone!"

"Who killed someone? Let go!" the man continued to struggle, but he felt his chest loosen, and then fell to the ground under his weight. He looked up and saw that the mysterious werewolf who had just appeared had his arms lowered, as if thinking about something. The terrifying look in his eyes made him give up on cursing a few more times and could only stand there in a daze.

The suddenness of the situation caused the atmosphere to suddenly become quiet, which was then broken by the sound of the garden.

"Kong...Kong-ge?" Sonoko, dressed as a witch, called out in confusion, and then shouted in surprise, "So he is the murderer?!"

Everyone seemed to have finally reacted and started talking about it, and soon the whole place became a hot topic.

Kudo, you didn't predict this situation!!!

The invisible man standing on the observation deck, or more precisely, Hattori Heiji who was pretending to be Kudo Shinichi and then the invisible man, was already dumbfounded. He naturally knew that this person was Natsukawa Sora. Although he didn't expect the other party to come, why did he suddenly come out to steal his job? ! But at this time, he couldn't think too much and could only immediately continue:

"Yes, it was this man dressed as a werewolf who killed the captain of this ghost ship, Gode, who was also the organizer of this parade and the producer of the film, Chizo Fukuura..."

Hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked at Noel who had just come out. Frankly speaking, this man was more like the murderer, whether it was the shirt stained with blood (special effects blood) or the wolfish look, even the suit was covered with dust. He had not appeared before but suddenly appeared at this moment and accused another person of being the murderer, which looked extremely suspicious.

"What are you looking at? There's no way it can be Kong Ge." Suzuki Sonoko stood in front of Noel with a domineering look, and gave the person standing on the observation deck a look that urged him to finish speaking quickly. Obviously, she recognized the owner of the voice, and it was the long-missing Kudo Shinichi.

Hattori Heiji cried out in indignation in his heart, he was just acting and posing with that damn Kudo!

Reluctantly, he untied the bandage on his face, revealing Kudo Shinichi's "real identity" and said, "It's the one wearing the werewolf mask."

Afterwards, he quickly recounted the process of reasoning. After all, the real murderer had already been revealed in advance, it would be inappropriate to keep it a secret. The evidence for the reasoning was also quickly verified, and everyone suddenly understood.

The other werewolf who first called out the real murderer remained silent for some reason. He silently waited for the detective on the lookout to reveal the murder method, the key evidence, and the reason for the murder.

"All of this is caused by that devil, all of this is caused by that devil named Bermode!" The murderer, who was unable to refute, shouted in anger and fear.

"You said, Vermode, did that guy commission you to kill Mr. Fukuura?" asked Kogoro Mori with a frown.

"It's true that I was upset with Fukuura-san because he ended my favorite Nirvana series so abruptly and then started filming the Captain Ghost series which is a kid's trick."

"I wrote on the message board that I even wanted to kill him."

"I didn't expect that the man named Bermode would come to me and help me think of the murder method and weapon, and asked me if I wanted to give it a try." When the murderer mentioned this name, his tone was filled with fear.

"So you accepted the proposal. What do you think of human life?" Maori Kogoro questioned. Behind him, Noel reacted to this sentence and then said calmly:

“He must have been coerced.”

"That's right!" The bound werewolf shouted in despair, "Of course I refused, but not long after, she sent a whole cardboard box filled with photos of me and my family that she secretly took, tapes of wiretapped phone calls, and what I did and when, to my house!"

"She threatened me that if I decided not to call the police, I and my family would be killed! At least that was what she meant!"

"I also received a letter from a man called Ikaros, who advised me not to kill anyone. I didn't want to kill anyone at all, I was forced to do it!"

That's it......

Noel covered his face silently. Even though his memory of the plot was a little fuzzy, he was careless and forgot about Bermode's methods. He did not find out that the fundamental reason for the murder was because of Bermode. Was it because he was thinking about his own affairs recently and thought that everything was under his control that he made such a huge mistake? He only thought about how to deceive others...

Hattori Heiji, who had taken off his disguise and changed back to his own appearance, would not ignore him. He approached him from behind and wanted to reach out to touch him and ask something, but he was suddenly grabbed by the other party's arm, and the other subordinate quickly clenched his fist and attacked him, and then was stuck in the air.

"Is there something wrong?" Noel withdrew his hand with relief and asked in a stiff tone.

When Hattori Heiji heard what the other party said, he shuddered subconsciously. Is Natsukawa Sora... such a cold person?

"How did you deduce that he was the murderer?"

Abdomen Heiji was very curious about this, but he didn't see him researching clues at the crime scene.

Noel did not reply. He was in a very bad mood at this moment. Morobushi Kagemitsu beside him also noticed this. He was about to say something when he was stopped by Hattori Heiji. The dark-skinned detective asked:

"Brother Xiaoguang, can I talk to your brother?"

After he finished speaking, he put his hand on Noel's shoulder and asked softly, "Brother Kong, how did you figure out the murderer?"

"Or you already knew it." The dark-skinned detective had a look of understanding in his eyes. Thinking of how much Kudo trusted this guy, he had already confirmed his guess in his heart and said:

"Ikaros, right?"
