Chapter 89: 君多篇·激鳴 Suemitsu

Sosuke looked at the flashing dark red warning, and was silent for a moment, as if he had finally grasped some pattern.

He relaxed his expression, put off the pain on his face caused by the wound on his neck, and returned to the cold expression when Matsuo Kazushi pinched his neck just now.

[80%]

[50%]

As expected, the red bar symbolizing the murderous intent index flashed a few times and returned to a safe value.

...This person must have a problem with his brain. The man couldn't help but think.

What kind of weird attitude is it that the murderous intent surges as long as he sees a painful expression on his face. Suemitsu Sosuke curled his fingers into his sleeves and felt uncomfortable all over his body. Even the man's eyes scanning his body made his skin uncomfortable.

Matsuo Kazushi suppressed his anger without any effort.

This cold, all-powerful, and indifferent expression was really disgusting.

His face sank.

The man did not look at him, but just turned his head to the side, staring at the blanket floating in the swimming pool. The sickly blush on his face had long faded, and it turned pale again without any life.

Although he was sitting on the ground, his back was straight, and the arc of his neck was stern and arrogant. The completely disabled legs and face formed a sharp contrast, like a robot suddenly appeared in a classical painting.

Rather than listening to the man's words and killing him with ease, the man wanted to see him unable to maintain this look.

Maybe he could be kept alive a little longer, dragged to the helicopter he left on, and let this stubborn guy see how the only thing that could convict him sank into the sea along with the ship.

He could admire the devastation and despair that would surely appear in his eyes, and then throw him into the sea, which is the best place to bury corpses.

[0%]

"I hope you can keep this expression, Officer Suemitsu..." The collector said, turned around and left the swimming pool without looking back.

...Let's end this quickly, I really want to arrest him and put him in jail.

The former police officer with limited mobility rolled his eyes at him implicitly. He had been dragged off the wheelchair and thrown to the ground. In order to pursue comfort and convenience, he deliberately chose thin fabrics for today's clothes, which could not block the coldness of the ground at all.

Fortunately, his legs didn't feel anything at all.

It's so annoying. I have to move back to the wheelchair and the blanket is useless. As Suemitsu Sosuke moved, he mentally dragged that guy out and beat him up.

That guy looks gentle and good at pretending, but he's actually a soft persimmon. He's arrogant, hypocritical and afraid of death. With his personality, he won't bother pretending to be a victim in front of the short-haired woman for long. He'll probably return to that appearance in no time. There is a

new [teleportation] product in the mall. When it first came out, Tsukiyama Asari complained that if it had been on the shelves a few days earlier, they wouldn't have to perform that scene at the banquet and let Kasugawa Shugo teleport his hand/gun.

But it seems to be useful now.

After reaching the top floor, someone searched him and took out all the communicators on him and threw them into the swimming pool. He is probably dead now.

Suemitsu Sosuke was not stupid enough to bring a recorder with him. He put it in the backpack compartment on the bed in his room. When they talked about the key points, he could immediately pass the recorder to record the conversation.

Under the gem exhibition box is the physical evidence. As long as the recording is obtained, Matsuo Kazushi will not be able to escape this transaction, but he must be convicted of his past actions.

The USB flash drive is still needed.

As long as the USB flash drive is available, it is not a problem to send that guy to jail for decades.

The man closed his eyes and carefully recalled the contents of the note.

[When the judgment that determines life and death falls

The needle that measures the soul falls to the right

Above Nagelfa, where the heart coincides

I will offer the greatest treasure]

Since Matsuo Kazushi has already searched it thoroughly, it cannot be hidden anywhere randomly, but something like a machine box.

Where is it hidden...

.

Where is it hidden...

Kasugawa Shugo frowned and thought at the same time.

The previous gunshot made both of them react instantly. It was the location of the exhibition hall. Now the most reliable person frowned and held the other person, motioning him to calm down first, and then took out the communicator that had been in his pocket.

"No signal..."

The chestnut-haired man frowned and muttered to himself. He could still send messages in the morning. I don't know what the guys did. Now the phone can't even open pictures.

The distress signal can't be sent out at all.

It's a matter of time before they are discovered after escaping from inside. Without external help, all he can do now is to find the USB flash drive and the bomb as soon as possible before those guys find out and come looking for them.

"Mr. Officer, we won't go..." Hei Yu subconsciously wanted to go to the place where the gunshots came from, but was stopped by his temporary companion.

"Don't go yet. I suspect that someone has planted a bomb on the ship, so let's go find this first. And the USB flash drive... hide under surveillance, I guess someone is watching in the control room now."

The police officer replied.

That riddle was really annoying. It was just like guessing what a word referred to when learning poetry. There were a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. The so-called "ship's dirty heart" in this riddle could refer to too many things. How could he know the brain circuit of the person who made this riddle...

Hey? !

Isn't there a guy here who writes strange invitations every day!

Kasugawa Shugo's eyes lit up, and it seemed that even his chestnut curly hair was curled up, "The Thief Kidd!"

"Hey hey?!" The person who was called paused and stepped back a little subconsciously.

"Look at this..." He took out the paper and pen he usually carried with him from his pocket, and was about to write down the riddle to show it to the other party, but he accidentally saw that the thief, who was still maintaining the Nagakura Tayo, had cold sweat on his forehead and even his feet subconsciously turned to the side, as if he was ready to run away at any time. "...What are you doing?"

"No, nothing."

Kuroba Kaito quickly retracted his previous posture.

Who is this... The man in front of him is a policeman after all. As a fugitive suspect, it is really a bit of a hallucination to have a policeman suddenly shout out his name.

It seems that this man will take out handcuffs in the next second and loudly announce "Give up, thief Kid!"

Just thinking about it makes my hair stand on end and I subconsciously want to run.

"Wait a minute..." Since the other party has already said that it's nothing, Kasugawa Shugo obviously doesn't intend to dwell on this matter. He hid in the corner, took out a small ballpoint pen from the ring, copied the riddle on a piece of paper, and handed it to the other party.

"This is the only clue we have now... Let's go to the monitoring room first and check the current situation of the hostages in the exhibition hall." Kasugawa Shugo signaled Kuroba Kuaidou to walk behind him. When he reached the end of the corridor, he first bent over to look at the situation there, and walked out after confirming that there was no one.

"Although they can't attack the hostages now, but... just in case." Everything is based on the safety of the hostages. The police officer frowned, thinking back to the scene in the banquet hall. If he wanted to rescue the hostages directly while those people were still there, it would be basically impossible.

"Do you have any idea about this? It feels quite similar to the style of your invitation letter... the kind of implicit style that makes you unable to understand anything."

Kuroba Kaito was originally serious because of the worry in the other party's eyes when he talked about the hostages, but before he could say anything, the heavy atmosphere was instantly broken by the other party's whispered complaint.

How did this police officer manage to switch between the two temperaments of seriousness and cheerfulness repeatedly, as if every time he talked about something serious, he had to change the topic to make him feel at ease.

"When the judgment of life and death comes..." Kuroba Kaito lowered his voice, trying to keep the empty corridor as quiet as possible. "It refers to Libra from September to October, right? In other words, it refers to the ship that set sail during the Libra period. This kind of astrological expression is very common."

The man smiled when he heard it. "For example, from the lion at dusk to the girl at dawn?"

He remembered that during the mission gap, he was asked by the Second Investigation Section, who he had been in contact with in college, to investigate the Phantom Thief Kid, and this was the warning letter he was given at that time.

Being told directly the contents of his previous notice, Kuroba Kaito inexplicably felt as if his essay was dug out and read aloud in public. "I don't have any idea about the last sentence for now... Where did you see the notice?" "

... It's just a newspaper, don't be nervous, I don't have any connection with them." Seeing the other party's expression, Kasugawa Shugo smiled and waved his hand, telling a white lie. He knew that the famous Mr. Phantom Thief was just a high school student, but he only knew it before, and now he has a real feeling.

His little expressions are very rich, and quite cute.

"But I have a guess about the second sentence." Kasugawa Shugo changed the subject, "... Can you use a gun?"

"Yes." Although he has only used a poker gun. After giving a positive answer, Kuroba Kuaidou was stunned. His hand felt cold, and the man directly stuffed the gun into his hand. "This is..."

Then, the boy's words of refusal were stuck in his throat. He originally thought that the man gave him the only weapon that could save his life, but now he looked closely, this gun was different from the one the police officer had before.

"Take it." The man smiled and blinked at him, with a sparkling smile in his eyes, like honey candy shining in the sun, "I took it from that guy before."

Just now, Kasugawa Shugo strangled the man's throat in the smoke, and when he knocked him to the ground, he took the gun on the man's waist and hid it on himself, which was much smoother than Asuka Mizuki who took the bodyguard's dagger before.

"How is it, do you feel safe now?" The man smiled, "As long as we have enough firepower, we don't have to be afraid of those guys."

Indeed.

But the source of the sense of security is not this gun, but the fact that this police officer, who is obviously alone and cannot even guarantee his own safety, always insists on walking in front of me, and subconsciously protects himself when turning a corner or passing by a room where someone might come out.

I have always played the role of a protector, after all, the thief Kid is omnipotent, but... it feels good to switch roles occasionally.

"But, why don't you change back to the voice of Miss Nagakura Tayo? It's really too weird."

With the face of a girl who just graduated, uttering the voice of the thief Kid... I can't bear it until now.

Kuroba Kaito, who had a smile on his face because of his thoughts, froze and couldn't help twitching his mouth. This guy really ruined the atmosphere. He didn't intend to pretend to have his original voice again, and continued to speak in a man's voice, "What's your guess for the second sentence?"

"Hmm..." Almost forgetting the main topic, Kasugawa Shugo bit his lip, and after holding his breath and passing another wide-open door, he spoke, "The Viscount Who Was Split Into Two"... Italo's novel. If I remember correctly, the person who wrote this riddle did have this book on the bookshelf in the lounge."

The Viscount Who Was Split Into Two is a novella written by Italian writer Italo Calvino.

In order to reflect the split of human nature and the conflict between good and evil, Italo Calvino divides the protagonist, Viscount Medard, into two halves, one half is extremely evil and the other half is extremely good.

"The left side is good, the right side is evil. The needle that measures the soul tilts to the right... It's probably just saying that the evidence is hidden on this ship, which is actually useless."

The first two sentences are useless. They just confirm that the USB flash drive must be hidden on this Sakura cruise ship. What can be deciphered is useless information, and what cannot be deciphered is the key.

Just like the answer book that I finally found, the steps for solving the questions I can do are written in great detail, and the only questions I can't do are just written as [omitted], which is annoying.

"I..... this is bad."

Kasugawa Shugo was about to speak, but he saw from Tsukiyama Asahi that in the banquet hall, a robber came back anxiously to report that the two waiters who were tied to the utility room before had taken away their accomplice's gun, and now they were missing.

It was estimated that people would be sent to search the area soon.

"Hurry up." He couldn't tell Kuroba Kuaidou about this "cheating" discovery directly, so he just frowned and grabbed the man's hand and hurried forward. Who knew that just when he ran to one-third of the corridor, the door of the room was suddenly opened.

"Hurry up!" The robber who pushed open the door was pointing a gun at the head of the girl found in the room, and said impatiently to the other end of the intercom, "A kid was found on the first floor, now... who?!"

This is really bad.

Before the man could react, Kasugawa Shugo quickly withdrew the man's gun-holding hand, pointed the gun at the ground, and at the moment the bullet was fired and hit the floor, he exerted force from his upper body and slammed into the man, throwing him to the ground.

He flipped the gun in his hand over and hit the man's head slightly below the back of the head with the back of the gun. The man instantly lost all his strength and breathed a sigh of relief. He moved the unconscious criminal on the ground into the room and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Nothing."

A familiar voice came, and Kasugawa Shugo looked with wide eyes, only to find that the person was Haibara Ai who had retreated to the bedroom to rest after being frightened by Suemiku Sosuke.

"The gunshot just now will attract other people." Hei Yu said quickly, and this time he spoke in a female voice. "We have to leave here quickly."

"You hide in... No, it's not safe here either." The chestnut-haired man originally wanted to let the girl hide in the closet, but was afraid that someone would come to search again, so he bit his lip. Finally, he picked up the girl and handed her to Kuroba Kaito, who had disguised himself as Nagakura Tayo, "Take her and hide behind me, and speed up your pace."

"Okay." Kuroba Kaito smiled gently at the girl in his arms. After disguising himself again, even his way of speaking changed in a very professional manner, "Don't be afraid, this big brother is a policeman, you will be fine."

Huibara Ai paused. She actually wanted to tell that man that she could walk and didn't need to be held at all, or that she could hide and didn't need to be retreated by the protector all the way.

But the next second the girl realized that this posture was more conducive to movement. As a child, she could not keep up with the speed if she walked by herself, and it would distract the two men to check on her. And if they were asked to "abandon" her, the two men would definitely not agree, and it would be a waste of time.

So she simply shut her mouth and nestled in the arms of the woman who was holding her, trying not to cause more trouble to this already dangerous behavior.

This time, they changed from moving forward cautiously and discussing the riddle information just now to running all the way with light steps, not even hiding from the surveillance. Since the gun has already sounded, and the gangster's walkie-talkie was on when he was knocked unconscious, it won't be long before someone will come to chase them.

There is no point in pretending now.

Before leaving, Kasugawa Shugo did not forget to take the pistol of the man who fainted and put it on his waist. Now with two guns, this police officer is obviously braver. Like a game character in rapid mode, he leads the people behind him to shuttle nimbly through the corridor and run to the monitoring room accurately.

Thanks to the system's ship structure diagram!

The monitoring room is not far away. After the group arrived at the tightly closed door, Kasugawa Shugo leaned against the wall and took a breath, praising, "You have good physical strength, stand a little further to the side."

No, in fact, he was just forcing himself to keep up. How can this guy run so fast? He is worthy of being a drug-catching policeman. Kuroba Kaito thought about this during his break. Then, he heard the man's words, took the girl and took a step to the side, leaning against the wall next to the door. "What are you going to do?"

"Bang!"

Kuroba Kaito's question was stuck in his throat. He watched the seemingly reliable policeman kick open the door of the monitoring room. Gunshots rang out from inside, and bullets flew out of the door and embedded in the wall facing the door of the monitoring room.

Kasugawa Shugo rolled on the spot when he opened the door, causing the robbers who were alert because of the sudden loud noise outside the door to lose their target and aim their guns at the door and the floor in panic.

"Here--"

the robber said anxiously, and immediately a gun was pointed at Kasugawa Shugo. The man lying on the ground took the opportunity to grab the man's wrist with both hands, pressed the safety bolt on the gun, and used the power of his waist to lift his legs. When the man was pulled forward and bent, he used his legs to wrap around the man's waist and bent the controlled hand inward.

When the man lost his strength due to pain and his gun rolled to the ground, he used the gun in his hand to hit the back of the man's head in this posture, and used the power of his legs to twist the man's body when he fell down and was about to fall on him, and kicked him under the table.

"Bang--"

"Bang--"

Two bullets shot through the back of the chair. Kasugawa Shugo bent down to avoid them. His pistol turned into a beautiful arc between his fingers, turning into a standard gun holding posture. The bullets shot at the wrist of another person.

Done!

Kasugawa Shugo tore off the man's clothes casually, tied up the robber's wrist that was pierced by him to stop the bleeding, and used the butt of the gun to give him a buy-one-get-one-free service.

Buy a bullet and get a gun to hit the head and sleep service for free. He is really considerate.

Hei Yu Kaidou didn't expect the opponent to be so reckless. He was stunned for several seconds before putting the girl in his arms down. He took a few steps forward to help the man, but when he went in, the battle inside was over.

It looks so painful... Fortunately, he is not from the Second Investigation Division, and has nothing to do with me.

The fugitive suspect, the thief Ji, thought at an inopportune time, and then he saw that the man's expression looking at the surveillance camera became more and more solemn.

"What's wrong?"

"They are preparing to attack the hostages."

In the middle of the screen, the familiar Edogawa Conan and his group were surrounded in the banquet hall. Even the hidden Megure Jusan, Takagi Wataru and Sato Miwako stood with several people, pointed at by guns, and slowly walked out, as if they were going to take them to another place to deal with them.

Kasugawa Shugo approached, his eyes lingered on the white-haired boy and the black-haired man for a while, his fingers tapped deftly, and the surveillance screen quickly switched to the corridor, and it was still changing.

...Found it.

"Go this way. You won't run into anyone on this road." His brain worked quickly, matching the system's ship structure diagram with the surveillance screen layer by layer, and then eliminating other redundant roads. In just one and a half minutes, he found the fastest and safest way. "Let's go."

Got it, let's continue parkour. Kuroba Kuaidou picked up Huihara Ai and made a "let's go" gesture.

"Can I leave the banquet hall to you?" Kasugawa Shugo turned around and asked when he came out of the interrogation room, "I'll go deal with those guys."

"Mr. Officer, you underestimate me too much."

Only four people were left in the banquet hall to guard the hostages. The others took Conan Edogawa and the others away. He was more than enough to deal with the four robbers.

Kuroba smiled and hugged the girl in his arms tighter.

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Kasugawa Shugo also smiled. He stretched out his right hand and clenched it into a fist. The two fists collided briefly in the air.
