Chapter 3454 3466 [Case Closed] Ask for monthly ticket o(〃'▽'〃)o
"I put my head mask on the mummy's head?" The werewolf snorted coldly. "The story is well-made, but do you have any evidence? - On this ship today, the actors were selected, not the director!"
"Evidence?" On the observation deck, Hattori Heiji, wearing the face of Kudo Shinichi, squatted down and picked up a rooster from somewhere.
Amidst the sound of chicken wings flapping vigorously, he smiled and said, "Of course there is. It is one of the evidences."
A group of people looked at him in confusion: "Where did this chicken come from?"
"Kudo Shinichi" grabbed the fighting chicken that wanted to nag him:
"Didn't the captain assign us a task to 'find the humans hiding among the monsters'? And before he died, he once asked us to come to the deck and said he would give us some clues about the humans.
"The rooster in my hand is actually the clue he prepared."
"I guess..." Kudo Shinichi suddenly grabbed the chicken's tail and lifted it upside down. "The captain intends to make this move as a clue to help us solve the mystery when everyone arrives."
On the deck, the guests looked bewildered: "An upside-down chicken? What's the clue?"
"I see." Medusa finally understood and smiled. "In English, a rooster is called a cock, and its tail is called a tail. Together, they form 'cocktail,' which means 'cocktail'."
"Cocktail..." Maori Kogoro pondered and suddenly remembered something, "Just now after we came out of the bathroom, the werewolf, uh, or rather the mummy wearing a werewolf mask, seemed to be sitting at the bar drinking."
The mummy nodded repeatedly. "The cocktail I ordered is called Silver Bullet. Drinking this kind of wine was a special task assigned to me by the Captain before he died. Actually, I should have gone to drink it earlier, but because of that werewolf, I fell asleep in the toilet..."
"What do you mean I made you fall asleep?" The werewolf interrupted suddenly, and said shamelessly:
"It was me who was sitting at the bar drinking that drink! The stolen alibi and the mask disguise as a werewolf were all just lies made up by that brat up there!"
"Kudo Shinichi" looked at him and shook his head: "If you are not the murderer, but a guest who is trying hard to pretend to be a werewolf, then you should not drink Silver Bullet."
"Why can't I drink?" The werewolf tried hard to prove his alibi. "I just want to drink, is that not okay?"
Suddenly, there was a whispering sound nearby.
The werewolf was startled, looking at the other guests with strange expressions, and then he realized that something was wrong. Suddenly, he remembered something, and with a start, his face changed drastically.
"This idiot." Vodka shrank into the crowd, watching this scene quietly, muttering in his heart:
"Silver Bullet, the legendary weapon used against werewolves. The cocktail of the same name can also be used to ward off evil spirits. A true werewolf actor wouldn't drink this kind of stuff.
"Come to think of it, the boss actually thinks Akai Shuichi is a 'silver bullet'. Isn't that just boosting others' morale and destroying our own prestige? How are we like werewolves? The only one who needs to be exorcised is that quiet little scoundrel."
"By the way, why is Uzo so quiet?" Vodka belatedly realized something was wrong, and alarm bells rang in his heart. "The calm before the storm? Is he brewing an even more shocking drama? ... Oops, the ship is not really going to sink!"
…
As Vodka watched warily.
Diagonally above, Kudo Shinichi, completely oblivious to the concerns of a certain organization member, continues his reasoning:
“The captain specifically asked Mr. Mummy to order this kind of wine to imply that the mummy is not a monster, but a human hiding among monsters.
"I heard the captain personally applied makeup to the mummies. If that's the case, we should be able to verify the answer by simply untying the bandages on their faces."
The mummy froze, touching the thick bandages on his face. Worried about messing up his makeup, he had carefully ignored the abnormality on his face and avoided touching it, but now...
With the help of Medusa, the mummy quickly untied the bandages, revealing his forehead. On his forehead, two big words were written in black pen: "Humanity".
Vodka: “…”
Is this the answer to this huge "search for humans" campaign?
The way the answer to this mystery is presented is too simple and crude. Shouldn't this guy, who was finally caught with great difficulty, have a more shocking appearance?
"Uzo's stage performance today was not up to standard." Vodka secretly shook his head, and then his heart skipped a beat, and he was suddenly stunned: Wait, as a person involved in the game, shouldn't I hope that this damn stage is as simple as possible?
He values stage effects more than his life. This should be Uzo's trait, but now...
"Oh no." Vodka muttered, "Am I being influenced?"
The cheers of the crowd drowned out everything, including the dull mumbling of a certain green slime monster.
Maori Kogoro scratched his head and said unhappily, "You guys are cheering too early. The cocktail the mummy drank is not conclusive evidence. Hey, kid, I thought you said you had two pieces of evidence. What is the other one?"
Kudo Shinichi pointed to the corpse on the nail plate and said, “There’s a crossbow bolt stuck in the chest of the corpse, and a tarot card on the hilt. The sea breeze is so strong that it’s almost impossible to use such an arrow to hit the captain on the watchtower from a long distance.
“In other words, the killer didn’t actually shoot from a distance – he climbed up to the lookout and killed the captain at close range.
"And this lookout tower holds evidence of his presence here."
Hattori Heiji lowered his head and looked at the wooden board beside him: If you look closely, you can see that there are some irregular holes on the board, as if they were pierced by something.
"Kudo Shinichi" continued: "When the werewolf broke the mirror in the bathroom, he accidentally stepped on some glass fragments with his shoe soles. Unfortunately, when he climbed up to the observation deck to commit the crime, the fragments embedded in his shoe soles left marks on the wooden board.
"All we have to do now is wait for the cruise ship to arrive and have the forensic team come aboard to compare your experience. They'll be able to confirm you've been here. They can even trace your route on the deck through these scratches."
After hearing this, Maori Kogoro finally had nothing to find fault with. He turned his head and glanced at the werewolf next to him: "Did you hear that? Hurry up and show me the sole of your shoe. Alas, this troublesome case can finally be put to an end."
"No, it's not me..." The werewolf stared at his feet, and finally came to his senses at this moment. He shook his head vigorously, "I didn't want to kill the captain either... It's all that demon's fault, the demon who instigated me to kill!!"
