Chapter 324: Lazy Tips
After Jiang Xia threw the bomb, he turned around and saw Ebina Minoru staring at the sea. He fell to his knees as if he had suffered a huge blow, and the murderous aura lingering on his body gradually faded away.
Ten seconds later, a new murderous aura slowly rose from the body of this retired social animal who had once decided to blow up a boatload of people, and his serious face became slightly distorted.
Jiang Xia leaned against the railing and said casually, "You are here to look for those robbers from that year, right?"
The word "robber" touched Ebina Minoru's mind. His dull pupils shrank slightly, and he withdrew his gaze from the sea and turned to the black-clad puppet in front of him, whose hem was swaying in the sea breeze.
Then she whispered, "Ye Caisan is dead. The remaining three members of the gang are all on the boat. One of them has become a charred corpse, one is hanging on the outer escalator, and the other is concentrating on acting in the crowd - I mean Kujii Sadao. You can wait for the infighting to end, or you can do what you want."
…
Hattori Heiji and Conan were still looking around the ship, sometimes getting together to argue, sometimes acting separately.
After a while, both sides had a basic idea, and the only thing left was the final verification.
Conan returned to the cabin and asked the crew where there was a good hiding place on the ship.
Hattori Heiji was a practical man. He carried a borrowed searchlight and looked around for a place to hide.
After searching all the cabins, he finally came to the edge of the deck shrouded in deep night. As the searchlight shone on the hull below, a figure suddenly emerged in the circle of light.
Hattori Heiji paused and turned the flashlight back.
Just below me, I saw a man tied to a ladder, with the churning sea water beneath him.
——That person was Kanie Hisahisa who had been missing for a while. However, it was completely different from what was expected. Kanie Hisahisa was not hiding here on his own initiative, but was tied tightly to the ladder. In addition, there was a tightly tightened noose rope hanging around his neck, and the other end of the rope was hanging down, swaying gently with the shaking of the body.
Hattori Heiji's gaze swept across Kanie Hisa's ferocious face and his chest that no longer rose and fell, and his expression was slightly stagnant.
...This person is dead.
The sudden increase in information caused him to fall into a brief confusion. The appearance of the corpse overturned most of his previous inferences, and also overturned Conan's.
...Could it be that when they asked Jiang Xia who was right just now, Jiang Xia didn't say anything, not because he didn't figure it out, but because Jiang Xia felt that both of them were wrong?
Hattori Heiji frowned and sorted out his thoughts.
At the same time, a tall and strong figure behind him approached stealthily under the cover of the sound of waves and sea breeze, raising the steel pipe in his hand - Kujirai Sadao just passed by, and when he saw Hattori Heiji standing in this position, holding a searchlight and shining it down, he knew that this detective knew too much and must not be kept.
…
Hattori Heiji was concentrating on thinking when he suddenly heard a voice behind him: "Get out of the way!" The person who warned him seemed to be running very fast. When the last voice came out, the source of the sound was already much closer.
It was Jiang Xia's voice... As this thought flashed through Hattori Heiji's mind, he subconsciously moved to the side.
An iron rod brushed against his shoulder, and with it a fierce wind, it hit the railing heavily.
Buzz - with a long buzzing sound, Hattori Heiji turned his head stiffly, looking at the railing with a dent in it in confusion, and a layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on his back.
At the same time, he also saw Kujirai Sadao holding an iron stick and trying to sneak attack him, and behind Kujirai Sadao, there was a stick that was so fast that it was almost just a shadow.
...This is a sneak attack that just ended, and a sneak attack that is currently ongoing.
Faced with the sneak attack, Hattori Heiji reflexively wanted to shout "Be careful" and pin the attacker down. But in the current scenario, he felt something was wrong.
In the end, Hattori Heiji just watched with hesitation as the baton that attacked from behind fell and hit Kujirai Sadao's shoulder heavily.
The sturdy man weighing more than 200 pounds fell to the side as if he was kicked by an elephant, and lay on the deck, unable to get up for a while.
"I didn't expect to encounter something like this when I came out for some fresh air... It looks like the murderer can be caught on the spot." Jiang Xia walked to Kujirai Sadao and glanced at Hattori Heiji, whose clothes were soaked with cold sweat and looked a little embarrassed. "As expected, a detective is a profession that is easy to be silenced. What did you see just now?"
"Kani Ekiza was tied to a rope ladder outside and is dead." Hattori Heiji was speaking when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Kujirai Sadao reaching into his arms and tremblingly taking out a gun.
He tensed up instantly and was about to warn, but before he could open his mouth, an extended baton with a fierce wind hit Kujirai Sadao's wrist. The gun slid along the deck, hit the wall with a thud, and stopped.
Jiang Xia took a look at the gun and swung the baton again: "Go and grab it. It might be evidence. Don't let it fall into the sea."
Hattori Heiji came to his senses, ran over and picked up the gun through his handkerchief, then took out another handkerchief and checked it awkwardly through the handkerchief: "A bullet is missing, the worker... Conan picked up a shell in the machine room before, and he heard from him that there was blood on the ground there."
"So that's how it is." Jiang Xia raised his hand and swung the stick again, knocking away the dagger that Kujirai Sadao had fumbled out again.
The dagger moved along the track where the gun had just slid, and was held down by Hattori Heiji like picking up gold coins, and he picked them up and put them away.
At the same time, he paused slightly because of Jiang Xia's declaration, which was equivalent to "I understand everything."
Although he had roughly figured out what happened on the ship, there were still many details missing. Even so, that was based on the fact that he and Conan had exchanged a lot of information and he had searched the ship for a long time. But Jiang Xia had been distracted in the restaurant, under the watchful eyes and protection of the crew...
He looked at Jiang Xia with mixed feelings: "Have you figured it all out?"
"Not yet. I'm not in the right mood today."
Jiang Xia raised his hand and pressed his forehead listlessly, then raised the baton with an enthusiasm that did not match his state: "Fortunately, we caught the suspicious person. If we ask him, everything should be clear."
Hattori Heiji: "..."
Kujirai Sadao was also stunned for a moment. Wait, asking questions while swinging a stick, this is not what a detective should do.
He suddenly felt a sense of crisis and struggled to get up: "I didn't kill anyone! I received a threatening letter before, someone said they were going to attack me, so I took the iron rod for self-defense. I attacked him because just now when I walked over, I suddenly saw a dark figure, I suspected someone was going to hurt me, so I hit him first... I overreacted, but I didn't kill him - ah!"
