Chapter 88 Cointreau·Excitement
Gunshots were coming from the exhibition hall.
A group of people put on masks in a pretentious manner, and led by the short-haired woman, surrounded the exhibition hall. Some people couldn't help screaming, and then choked in front of the black muzzle of the gun, trying to suppress the scream back into their throats.
"What are you doing..." On the podium, Matsuo Kazushi frowned, raised his hands above his head and asked angrily.
"Mr. Matsuo." The short-haired woman had a black mask on her upper face, revealing her sharp chin and lips painted with bright red lipstick. Her attitude towards this collector was obviously much more restrained than her attitude towards Kasugawa Shugo just now. "We have to thank you for letting the crew rescue us, otherwise we would not have been able to board this cruise ship so smoothly."
"Did you do this on purpose?" The collector wearing a monocle had a slight anger in his eyes, and his chest rose and fell twice. "Taking advantage of everyone's kindness, shameless!"
... He really didn't blush at all when saying this.
In the crowd, Tsukiyama Asari and others watched this scene together, and finally couldn't help but curled his lips under the mask and rolled his eyes.
If I hadn't known what kind of person he was in advance, I guess I would have been fooled.
Yoshida Ayumi's eyes were already full of tears, and she couldn't help sobbing slightly. The masked robber next to her stepped forward and shouted in a suppressed voice, "Shut up! Little devil..."
The girl was frightened by the threat of the other party, and her tears fell even harder. Tsukiyama frowned inwardly and took a step forward to stand between the two of them. The gun that was originally aimed at the girl's forehead quickly changed direction and hit his forehead.
"Brother Chaoli——"
In this situation, the man still did not change his expression. He just kept his hands in the posture required by the robber, raised above his head, and slowly squatted down. At the same time, his left hand relaxed a little and held Yoshida Ayumi in his arms.
The girl buried her face in his neck, her sobbing becoming quieter.
"Don't do anything unnecessary." Seeing that he didn't do anything suspicious, the man just used the muzzle of the gun to threateningly press against his forehead, threatening him viciously.
[Sure enough, I said something would happen!!! Strangers who suddenly come are not good people!!!]
[It's so funny, I saw Chaoli Meow Meow rolling his eyes, it's too obvious! [Chaori the cat rolling her eyes at the robbers in the crowd]
[I was so nervous when they broke into the house, but then the scene changed to Chaori rolling her eyes, ahhhh, so cute, she is so gentle and reliable, yet she has many lively and cute little actions in private that make me happy, she is the kind of wife who will cook a table full of food and prepare hot water for me after work, but will also play pranks on me]
[Ahhhh! I am holding my breath, help, wuwuwu wife, although this is really dangerous, don’t go close to her casually, wuwuwuwu! Protect yourself!! ]
[Kusa...Tsukiyama Asari's personality is really easy to be killed. Obviously, her first reaction at this time is to protect the safety of others. If the gangster is impatient...]
No, I was actually prepared before I went on stage... And how could that white eyes just now be drawn? !
Tsukiyama Asari looked at his extremely obvious white eyes in the forum, bit his lip in embarrassment, and then his eyes fell on the bright red bars on the heads of everyone around him.
This was something he just bought in the system mall, and he spent a lot of points on it.
But the effect is very good.
Now everyone will show their murderous intent index. The index of the robber just now was no more than 20, and there was only a bar on his head that was filled up one-fifth. The other robbers were similar, all with only 20.
When I made the move just now, the number above the man's head quickly rose to 40, but it still didn't even pass half of the line. It seems that the short-haired woman's principle of "don't make unnecessary trouble" is carried through to the end.
After all, this is a comic "following the whole process". If I die here, there is a high probability that I will be drawn in, and then I really can't even change the time conversion card back.
With the [Murder Index] as a reminder, I can still take advantage of the opportunity.
Thinking of this, Tsukiyama Asari backhanded and bought one for Suemitsu Sosuke in the corner. Matsuo
Kazushi is really weird, his thoughts jump so much, he can't guess what this guy is thinking at all, it's safer to have a reminder.
A dozen meters away, the black-haired man who had been in the corner closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, there was a value bar in front of him.
Yes, only one.
Between [Murderous Index (All) 500/h] and [Murderous Index (Specified Target) 80/h], Tsukiyama Asari, the stingy and scumbag original body, decisively chose the latter for Suemitsu Sosuke.
A trace of helplessness flashed in the man's dark red eyes, and he pushed the wheelchair forward a little, while the conversation over there continued.
"I heard that this time, Mr. Matsuo took out all the gems for exhibition? He is really willing to do so." The short-haired woman smiled coquettishly, and the meaning was self-evident.
Matsuo Kazushi seemed relieved, "If you want these gems, I can open the mechanism now and let you take them, but please don't hurt the passengers on the ship."
"As long as we get the gems, we won't have the time to attack you, but... we have to ask Mr. Matsuo to come with us." The woman put the muzzle of the gun against his forehead and added in a threatening tone, "As a hostage."
Hearing this, Suemitsu Sosuke saw from a distance that the expressions of the protagonists who heard this conversation changed.
Mao Lilan, Suzuki Sonoko and the children all showed worried expressions, and Edogawa Conan set his eyes on the robber who was putting gems into the bag.
Just now, Matsuo Kazushi had already turned on the security system, so they recklessly pressed the switch on the cabinet door, took down the gems along with the boxes they were exhibited in, and put them into the box.
The young detective frowned slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression. Before he could think of anything, a somewhat hoarse voice rang out in the hall.
"I'll go with him."
Almost all eyes fell on that man, and the crowd pointed at by guns retreated to both sides in a panic, leaving a passage for the other side.
The man with slightly long hair controlled the wheelchair, slowly came out from the corner, and came in front of the short-haired woman. Although this sentence was clearly addressed to the group of robbers, his eyes fell on Matsuo Kazushi instead, and his dark red eyes were filled with confused emotions.
He turned his head and coughed twice, but his aura did not weaken in the slightest because of this action. Instead, sitting in the wheelchair felt like sitting on a sofa in a banquet hall.
A lot has changed.
Edogawa Conan and Okiya Subaru thought at the same time.
At least when they visited him before, they didn't feel such anger in the man. If I have to describe it, Suemitsu Sosuke was probably a man who was already lying in a coffin, angrily driving away everyone who tried to come up to help him check his body, waiting for death to come.
Now... outside the coffin, there was finally something on the black and rotten soil of the cemetery, making him struggle, grabbing the edge of the coffin with his skinny and pale hands, and climbing up little by little.
The faint and strong anger was like a liquid symbolizing hope and death mixed together in a wine glass, which was shaken repeatedly and turned into this strange taste.
Suemitsu Sosuke didn't know what the others were thinking, his eyes fell on Matsuo Kazushi.
The murderous intent value above the collector's head suddenly dropped from a stable 50 to 20 just now, just because of his words "I will go with him".
He didn't believe that the guy was moved by his words, and estimated that he suddenly became like this because of what he said.
Unexpectedly, this situation would happen. The short-haired woman turned her head subconsciously and met Matsuo Kazushi's eyes.
The latter raised his head slightly.
"Your friend?" The woman's face was raised with a gorgeous smile again. Her eyes hidden under the blindfold glanced at the man and motioned to take him with her.
Someone reached out to push his wheelchair, but his hand was pushed away.
"No need, I can do it myself." Suemitsu Sosuke said coldly, maneuvering the wheelchair closer to Matsuo Kazushi.
Hey, does this guy know what he is doing? !
When they saw the man mercilessly opening the robber's hand with a clear sound, Conan Edogawa and his companions were so angry that they were afraid that the latter would be so angry that he would directly pick up a gun and shoot the man who dared to provoke them in this situation.
[50%]
Matsuo Kazushi's eyes stayed on his gloomy eyebrows for a moment, and the number above his head suddenly jumped back to the previous 50.
Why did it go back again?
Suemitsu Sosuke rubbed his fingers on the armrest of the wheelchair for a while, not intending to guess what the man was thinking, and simply didn't look at him.
Collect evidence and clues and hand them over to Kasugawa Shugo and Tsukiyama Asari, Hato Mie will observe the enemy's movements, and Asuka Kiri... can help when necessary, and can be a background board at other times.
After all, it is now entrusted to the system. If he is given a more important task, it will be troublesome if he makes a move that does not match his character in front of everyone and is suspected.
He can't do anything in these aspects, so he might as well keep a close eye on this guy.
In the comics, the conversation between Edogawa Conan and Haibara Ai ends with the girl saying, "Compared to this, you should pay more attention to that Asari brother."
He just guessed like everyone else in the forum that this was Haibara Ai reminding him that Tsukiyama Asari was not in a good condition, which corresponded to the plot that night when Kasugawa Shugo came to see him, and he didn't know that it was talking about Asuka Kiri.
Several people left the exhibition hall in silence, and the number of robbers surrounding the guests suddenly decreased by one third.
Suemitsu Sosuke followed the group to the top floor of the cruise ship.
This luxury cruise ship has eight floors, and the top floor is a swimming pool and restaurant. The short-haired woman led the group directly to the lounge next to the swimming pool, which had been vacated as a temporary resting point.
[Washing machine! What do you know now? Let me know! Every time the little detective has a flash of inspiration, I scratch my head and have no idea what’s wrong with that scene just now.]
[Hmm… one was when he saw the robbers loading the gems, and the other was when Suemitsu said he wanted to be with Matsuo? ]
[A little complaint, what's wrong with the robbers? Why did they take away the display cabinets after stealing the jewelry? They could have just moved it back and saved the renovation costs, right? (狗头.jpg)
[I laughed so hard. I thought it was nothing when the sister upstairs didn't say anything. But after she said it, I went back and looked at it several times. Isn't the display cabinet heavy? If they took away the jewels together]
[As for Suemitsu, it's because he was willing to be a hostage. Organization members generally don't do such things. So Suemitsu's suspense in the eyes of the little detective will be reduced a little...]
In the comics, neither the three policemen who pretended to be ordinary passengers to investigate Mr. Ota nor Conan Edogawa rushed on, so Suemitsu Sosuke breathed a sigh of relief.
It's his turn to rush on next.
"Are you ready to blow up the cruise ship?" Suemitsu Sosuke asked, his eyes falling on the sparkling water. The water in the swimming pool looked the same blue as the sea water because of the blue tiles on the bottom.
When he spoke, he felt a flash of red light next to him. He probably thought that the murderous index had skyrocketed to a terrifying number.
But when he turned to look at Matsuo Kazushi, the number had fallen back to a stable 50%.
Although this value is also very uncommon.
"The medicine under the gem cabinet, the specially designed helipad on the ship, the robbery gang that arrived at the right time..." The man's bloodless lips opened slightly, and he uttered words that made the smile in front of the man gradually fade, "It's really a big deal. Is it the final work in Japan?"
"I thought that everyone knew that I was going to settle in the United States on the 6th, and there was no need for your...useless reasoning. It seems that Mr. Suemitsu never reads the news or newspapers?" Matsuo Kazushi said sarcastically, and finally raised a stiff smile because of this sentence.
"No..." Suemitsu Sosuke, who was usually very impatient with others, did not react to this sarcastic tone. He interrupted the man softly, and his thick black eyelashes drooped, covering his dark red eyes even darker.
"If it was just for transporting drugs, why would you install bombs on the cruise ship? It seems that Nakamichi Narimi still has evidence against you...
The key evidence that can convict you? The USB flash drive is hidden on this cruise ship, but Mr. Matsuo, you probably didn't find it, right?"
Matsuo Kazushi stopped smiling.
They had come to inspect this newly completed ship half a month ago, and at that time he felt that something was wrong with Nakamichi Narimi, who was traveling with him. Later, at the banquet, he saw the code that the little boy had handed to the police.
Evidence of his crime was hidden on this ship. After the man came back from the banquet, he asked people to search the ship thoroughly, but found nothing. In the end, he had to change the plan and add bombs to the 'simple gem robbery'.
As for how many lives this change would threaten, it was not a problem he needed to worry about.
"......So you can only blow up this ship and tell the dead Nakamichi Narimi that you lost. You can't play this game at all. You can only overturn the chessboard and let your dirty things sink into the sea with the cruise ship."
Calm words without any emotion came out of his thin lips. The next second, he was pulled up from the wheelchair by a pair of strong hands and thrown on the hard and cold ground.
[100%]
Matsuo Kazushi was obviously angry.
His eyes were filled with anger and twisted emotions. Although the monocle was still on his face, it couldn't hide his red eyes. The words that Suemitsu Sosuke said carelessly made him dizzy.
Hands were placed on his neck.
It was not a pleasant feeling to be strangled by two hands. Almost at the moment when the man's skin touched his vulnerable neck, Suemitsu Sosuke held his breath. He subconsciously reached out to grab the man's wrist and pull the hands apart, but in the end he did not move.
The man put his hands beside his body, and his eyes did not even stir up any waves because of this posture that was completely controlled by the other party. He just calmly stared at the man who pressed him to the ground.
[70%]
"Why do you think I gave you that invitation?" Matsuo Kazushi took a slight breath and forced himself to suppress his anger. He forced himself to return to the elegant and gentle appearance he pretended to be, but the movement of his hands could not help but tighten.
"Because you want me to die."
[20%]
[100%]
Suemitsu Sosuke smiled.
The murderous signs above the man's head kept flashing, like some ridiculous colored lights.
"......You want me dead, you're afraid of me. Even though I'm like this now, sitting in a wheelchair and having trouble taking care of myself, you're still afraid of me. Even though I'm leaving here soon, even though you know that it will be almost impossible for us to catch you once you step foot on another land, you're still afraid of me."
"You're so scared that you want me dead."
[100%][Warning! ]

[100%][Warning! ]
[0%]
Matsuo and Shizheng met the man's eyes. The dark red eyes burst into light in this situation, and the strong light made the dark gemstone bright again, but it was like a bright red gemstone fished out of the water. The man saw his own reflection in the gemstone.
He could no longer maintain the false expression that he had managed to put on. His fingers tightened uncontrollably, and his long sleeves blocked the bulging veins on his arms.
The hand on his neck gradually tightened.
The feeling of suffocation was not pleasant. Suemitsu Sosuke tried to slow down his breathing, and felt a dull feeling coming from his lungs, followed by a dense pain. He tried to breathe in the thin air in between, and his mouth did not stop even though his neck was stuck.
"Are you...scared? Can't you sleep as long as you think that I'm still alive? Finally...well, finally you found the chance to give me this invitation.
Because of the hand on his neck, the man's voice was hoarseer than usual, even a little intermittent.
"You wanted to kill me...on the cruise ship, and then throw me into the sea. Only in this way can you sleep well...so...you have never won at all, no...you didn't even beat Narimi Narimi.
Mr. Matsuo...you lost miserably, and can only use...um...this method to make up for the gap, just like you want to overturn the chessboard and blow up this cruise ship to cover up the fact that you can't even beat Narimi Narimi. "
[100%][Warning!]
[100%][Warning!]
[100%][Warning!]
A layer of morbid blush had appeared on Suemitsu Sosuke's pale face, and even his pupils began to slowly dilate.
Matsuo Kazushi came forward, and the two of them were very close. He tried to lick that familiar and hateful face inch by inch with his eyes, trying to find some fear or pain in it.
No, nothing.
He was like a widow who had buried everything in the ground, dragging her staggering body. If the soul inside was not touched, no matter how this already broken body was destroyed, it would not affect that person in the slightest.
"Are you not afraid of being strangled to death here? "Yes...ah... "
The man with dilated pupils had to concentrate almost all his energy to hear the man's words clearly. His eyes were already dark, and his lungs were struggling with a faint pain.
The sound could not be squeezed out of his strangled throat. He could only make barely audible sounds with his mouth.
"I...welcome...death."
Suemitsu Sosuke even raised the corners of his mouth to the man at the end of his words.
[80%]
[60%]
[30%]
[0%]
He was right.
The moment Matsuo Kazushi let go of his hand, Suemitsu Sosuke couldn't help but turn his head and cough softly. He tried hard to hold his breath to prevent his throat from itching, and tried hard not to cough in front of others like he was about to die.
The collector stood up.
His eyes fell on the pale skin, flushed cheeks, bony hands, broad black coat, and legs of the man lying on the ground.
The blanket had fallen off during the pulling just now, and was now floating pitifully on the surface of the swimming pool. When he pulled Suemitsu Sosuke up just now, he wanted to push him directly into the water, but then he changed his mind.
The man was wearing a pair of loose pants . He was wearing a shirt and no socks. His already thin ankles became sickly and shockingly thin under the wide trouser legs.
There were still fingerprints on his neck, but his expression was calm. He only coughed softly and took small breaths, slowly struggling to escape from the suffocation.
The murderous intent index returned to 50%, which was relatively stable for both of them.
That's enough, we can move on to the next topic.
Suemitsu Sosuke thought, he sat up with his hands, and when he opened his mouth, he found that the guy had pinched him hard enough, and a sharp pain came from his throat as soon as he exerted force.
He touched his neck with his hand, and couldn't help frowning, revealing an expression of some pain due to the injury.
[100%][Warning! ]
The man froze in mid-air.
...Huh?!
It's hard to understand the brain circuits of a psychopath.

Thank you for reading
Suemitsu: I'm also reckless, but if you're still reckless when you're my student... (threateningly narrowing his eyes)
Conan: This is double standards!

Thank you for liking it——

(Note: Most of the time, I refuse all contact. If you find that the other party does not dodge when you get close, grab it! It’s a rare opportunity! I’m very sensitive to sound)
I deleted a controversial content. In fact, I didn’t expect this paragraph to cause such a big controversy. ORL
may not pay attention to anything when I wrote it. I received a lot of suggestions after the forum chapter of Xiaowu’s case, so I deleted some CP content as much as possible in the following text. If everyone still feels that there are too many, I will reduce this aspect in the future and try not to involve it again.
Everyone discusses the suggestions rationally. Thank you for liking it!
