Chapter 1367-1375 [Resurrection from the Dead II]
The sudden knock on the door at night startled the photographer, who was feeling guilty, and made him alert.
He walked to the door and carefully looked out through the peephole, then raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Unlike the expected visitor, the person knocking on the door was actually a woman.
"Pu Siqinglan?" The photographer touched his chin, a little confused.
But he soon understood the other party's intention - he must have come for the ring. When the female scholar saw the ring, her eyes lit up.
It was the dead of night, a man and a woman were alone, and the other party needed help from him... As he thought about it, the photographer's eyes lit up: Could it be that he could have a nice encounter tonight?
Although he didn't intend to hand over the ring, he still opened the door and showed a handsome smile: "You..."
A gun was raised and pointed at his right eye, with a thin silencer on the muzzle.
"...Wait! Is this a misunderstanding?" The photographer had never expected that the person outside the door had a gun. His face turned pale and he suddenly shouted, "Help...!!"
Bang--!
Blood splattered and gun smoke filled the room. Pu Siqinglan laughed coldly: "It's really thanks to you that you are not sociable and chose such a remote room, otherwise I would not be able to use the gun."
In fact, this person was not originally on her assassination list.
However, the photographer had held up a camera and filmed every room before. Pu Siqinglan didn't expect that someone on the ship would be so bored, so she was not careful and was photographed by the photographer with the photos of her ancestors on the TV cabinet.
——When Jiang Xia and Conan came to Pu Siqinglan's room, the photo frame was facing away from the door. But when the photographer went there, the photo was still facing outward.
Therefore, Hanchuan Long's camera probably clearly captured the face of the "evil monk" Rasputin. Pu Siqinglan was worried that this clue would expose his identity as "Shi Kaobing", so he had a little murderous intention.
Later, the photographer showed off the antique ring on his neck. This made people even more fascinated. Without thinking too much, Pu Siqinglan put this man on the list of people to be killed.
It was much smoother than killing Jiang Xia.
As she thought this, she reached for the photographer's neck, trying to take something off.
However, when he reached down, he caught nothing.
Pu Siqinglan was stunned: After a closer look, the photographer's neck was empty, and he was not wearing the ring like before.
"...Tsk, what a trouble. If I had known this would happen, I should have confirmed the location of the ring and necklace before killing him." Pu Si Qinglan scratched her hair impatiently.
She is a bit forgetful, but most of the time she can handle everything with guns and force, so she is always very efficient in doing things.
But ever since she set her eyes on the "Egg of Memories" and came here some time ago, Shi Kaobing always felt that she was unlucky all the time, and it seemed that nothing would develop as in her script.
Pu Si Qinglan: “…” But now the person is dead, it’s no use regretting.
She looked at her watch, thankful that she had not wasted too much time in Jiangxia. Then she walked into the house, closed the door with her backhand, and squatted down to search the dead man's pockets.
Having no results, Pu Siqinglan went straight to the bedside table.
——The room is so small, where can a ring be hidden?
Maybe the photographer was just resting alone in the room, and he felt that wearing something would get in the way, so he took it off and put it aside.
…
However, when I looked at the bedside table, there was no ring there.
The table, the bathroom, the sink, the suitcase, the spare coat... I looked around but couldn't find it anywhere.
Pu Siqinglan gritted her teeth and couldn't help but kick the corpse in anger: one or two of them had caused her so much trouble, she just wanted to take back the treasure that belonged to Rasputin... Where was the ring hidden? !
…She didn’t believe that she couldn’t find it today!
…
On the other side, in a room.
Jiang Xia packed up the raincoat and wet clothes and threw them to the merman, asking her to find a place to dispose of them. These clothes were all common brands on the market, and there was no blood or other suspicious liquids on them. Even if they were discovered later, at most they would just be a pile of garbage thrown in the wrong place.
He went to the bathroom to wash off the sea water on his body, quickly blew dry his hair, then rummaged through his suitcase and pulled out a set of identical clothes.
——While Shi Kaobing was preparing potassium cyanide, Jiang Xia and his vest were not completely idle.
Jiang Xia changed his clothes, stood in front of the dressing mirror, and looked at his reflection in the mirror.
Looking at him this way, he was almost the same as he was ten minutes ago. It was as if the sudden murder had never happened. Or maybe the one standing here was an unkillable spirit.
As Jiang Xia was thinking, he couldn't help but become distracted.
——I don’t know to what extent the murderous aura will expand this time.
When he thought of Pu Si Qinglan, he couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation in his heart: What a bowl... What a good person who can bring happiness to others.
…
I tidied the room and took a short nap.
When he opened his eyes again, Jiang Xia suddenly heard a series of knocks on the door.
It wasn't his door that was knocked.
He first let Gui Drill go out to explore the way, and found that Pu Si Qinglan was not outside. Jiang Xia then pushed the door open and walked in the direction of the sound.
When I turned the corner, I saw Secretary Nishino knocking on Chairman Suzuki's door in another corridor.
Just at this moment, Shiro Suzuki pushed the door open and walked out.
Secretary Nishino said in panic: "Mr. Hanchuan, Mr. Hanchuan is dead!"
Jiang Xia: “…” As a secretary of the Suzuki family, he gets so panicked when seeing a murder case. He needs some training.
But if you think about it carefully, in this family, murders seem to revolve around Suzuki Sonoko, and Suzuki Sonoko's sister occasionally encounters some murders. But murders rarely occur around Suzuki's parents... Well, it's a good thing that the cute Suzuki classmate didn't inherit this.
As I was watching, Shiro Suzuki and Secretary Nishino had already quickly run towards the room where the photographer Ryu Kamikawa was.
The corner where Jiang Xia was was a must-pass road. When the two sides suddenly met, Secretary Nishino and Shiro Suzuki were both stunned.
After a moment, Suzuki Shiro reached out his hand, grabbed Jiang Xia, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, there is a detective."
"What happened?"
"Dad? Where are you going? Why are you in such a hurry?"
In the nearby room, Conan, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko also heard the noise. The two quickly joined the team rushing to the scene and ran all the way to the photographer's room.
…
The door of the room was wide open.
When I looked inside, I saw the photographer lying on his back in the doorway, his head tilted to one side, with a black bloody hole in his right eye.
