Chapter 85 Something is wrong with Officer Shiratori

After the nerve-wracking Chinese dialogue session, the topic quickly shifted to age.

“I seem to have heard you introducing your ages just now? Miss Qinglan… I guess you should be about the same age as me, right?” Kosaka Natsumi looked at Pu Si Qinglan and asked.

“Yes, I’m twenty-seven years old.” Pu Siqinglan nodded.

“Sure enough, you are the same age as me! What’s your birthday? When is it?”

“May 5th.”

“My birthday is May 3rd, which is only two days away from mine!”

Upon hearing this, Kosaka Natsumi had an expression that said, “We are really destined to be together, and we will definitely be good sisters in the future,” and she gently put her arm around the other person.

Conan, who was sitting nearby, suddenly interrupted and said, “Then you are only one day different from me. My birthday is May 4th.”

After he finished speaking, Xiaolan, who was holding the cake in her hand, was slightly stunned.

“May 4th…”

Isn’t Shinichi’s birthday May 4th?

Thinking of this, she looked at Conan with more suspicion.

Xia He, who saw all this, subconsciously covered his forehead.

No, buddy, as a detective, don’t you have any vigilance?

It’s really wild.

……

evening.

The young man who knocked on doors and took photos for people in the afternoon was found dead tragically in his room as expected.

Even the first person to discover the body was Zhu Fu Jingguang.

“The deceased’s name is Ryu Kankawa, he is 32 years old and a freelance video writer. I have just made inquiries. Before the crime, he was last seen in the open air on the deck.”

Zhu Fujingguang squatted in front of the body, holding a smartphone in both hands, taking pictures of the scene. “Also, the ring on the deceased’s chest is missing. This is most likely a robbery and murder case…”

“I know! The ring on his neck is the ring of Maria, the third daughter of Nicola II!” Maori Kogoro stood up and reported to Megure Jusan: “I heard from Miss Qinglan before that the ring seems to be very expensive.”

“Could it be that Kidd killed him?” Ida Hang guessed after hearing this.

However, Zhu Fu Jingguang immediately refuted after hearing this: “It’s impossible. Kidd has always only stolen gems and is not interested in things like rings. In addition, he has always only stolen things and never hurt people’s lives. He even returns the gems to their original owners every time he steals them… In short, he can’t be the murderer.”

“Uh… I know, I know. Why are you so excited all of a sudden?” Yi Dahang put his arm around his old classmate’s shoulders. “But by the way, why are you here? Did you receive a commission from someone?”

“I came here on my own initiative to help capture Kaito Kidd.”

Zhu Fu Jingguang slapped Ida Ko’s hand away.

Now is not the time to reminisce.

He continued to observe the condition of the corpse.

“The right eye was also shot…”

Exactly the same as last night when Kidd was attacked.

Thinking of this, he immediately took out his cell phone and began searching the ICPO crime intelligence website to see if there was a killer who specialized in shooting people in the eyes.

the other side.

“A ballpoint pen was found.” A police officer suddenly said.

He was holding a blue ballpoint pen with the words ‘M Nishino’ engraved on the outer shell. It was the same ballpoint pen that Suzuki Shiro’s secretary, Masato Nishino, always carried with him.

“That’s for sure, the murderer is Masato Nishino!” Kogoro Mori immediately concluded with confidence.

OK, one wrong answer eliminated.

Conan and Xia He thought to themselves at the same time after hearing this.

Just when Megure Jusan was about to ask Takagi Wataru and Date Kou to go to the front hall to bring in Nishino Masato for interrogation, Xia He, who couldn’t stand it any longer, finally spoke up: “Is there a possibility that Mr. Nishino is allergic to feathers?”

“Feather allergy?” Everyone looked at him. Xia He pointed at the feathers scattered all over the room and said, “People with this disease… I’m afraid it would be difficult for them to commit crimes in this environment, right?”

“I can testify that Nishino is indeed allergic to feathers, and it’s a very serious allergy.” Shiro Suzuki immediately responded.

“But how did you know that?” Kogoro Mouri looked at Xia He with some suspicion.

“Of course it’s because I saw him sneezing continuously after he walked into the room with the pigeons.” Xia He explained, and then brought the topic back to the case. “In short, it is basically unlikely that Mr. Nishino is the criminal.”

“Then how do you explain this pen?” Kogoro Mouri still refused to give in.

But at this moment, Zhu Fujingguang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: “I think the murderer of this murder case must be Shi Kaobing without a doubt.”

“Shi Kaobing?” Everyone looked at him when they heard that.

“Well, a killer who specializes in stealing treasures from the Romanov dynasty in various countries and likes to shoot his target’s right eye.”

As he spoke, he handed the information about Shikaobing that he had searched on his smartphone to Megure Juzo.

After quickly browsing for a while, Megure Juzo’s expression began to become serious.

After all, there is a professional killer lurking on the ship, and who knows what kind of trouble that guy will cause.

Just when everyone seemed a little worried, two police officers came in with Nishino Masao and the ring that the deceased Ryu Kamikawa had lost.

“Officer Megure, we found this in Nishino Masao’s room.” The police officer said, handing over the ring in a ziplock bag.

Seeing this, Ida Kou couldn’t help but raise a question: “If Skoubing really wanted to frame Mr. Nishino for the murder… then he only needed to use the ballpoint pen. There should be no reason for him to let go of the Maria ring.”

Upon hearing this, Conan immediately fell into deep thought.

Xia He looked at the confused murder suspect, and asked, “Did you have any conflicts with the deceased?”

“Are you referring to Mr. Kanakawa? So… three years ago, I had just returned from traveling in Asia and happened to meet him in a village taking pictures of a little girl whose house had burned down. His behavior was particularly excessive at the time, and I stepped forward to stop him, but he didn’t seem to want to pay any attention to me, so… I ended up beating him up.”

“Then this means that he is very likely holding a grudge against you because of this incident?” Xia He deliberately said this loudly, while glancing at Conan and Kaito out of the corner of his eye.

As expected, the two of them thought of a possibility almost at the same time.

“I see……”

Did the deceased Ryu Kamikawa deliberately drop the ring in Nishino Masao’s room during dinner time, and steal the ballpoint pen and put it under his bed, in order to create the illusion that Nishino Masao had stolen the ring, as a way of revenge?
However, what Hanchuan Long did not expect was that a “Shikaobing” would show up halfway…

After figuring out the motive, Conan immediately turned his attention to the fake Xia He – Kuroba Kaito.

When Kaito saw Conan’s hint that his eyes were about to smoke, he immediately understood what he meant. He raised his hand and told him the reasoning he had come up with.

……

It was 11 o’clock at night, on the way back to the room.

Conan held his chin with his index finger and thumb, not noticing the suspicious look in Xiaolan’s eyes when she looked at him. He continued to mutter to himself: “Now there is another question, why did Skoubing kill Hanchuanlong?”

Is it really just for that valuable ring?
While he was thinking, Manatsuwa, who was disguised as Shiratori Renzaburo, suddenly said behind him: “It just occurred to me that the name Pu Siqinglan… seems quite interesting.”

“Name?” Conan and Xiaolan turned around and looked at him.

Then Xia He continued, “Yes, if you just shuffle her name a little bit and then reorganize it, it can be written as ‘Rasputin’, which happens to be exactly the same as the name of the man who caused the demise of the Romanov dynasty.”

The weird monk Rasputin?!
A laser shot through the middle of Conan’s head.

Combined with the fact that after Hanchuan Long died, all the videotapes in the room were stolen by the murderer…

It is not difficult to infer that Hanchuan Long must have taken some photos of evidence that could prove that Pu Siqinglan was the descendant of Rasputin, so he was killed to silence him.

That must be the case!
I immediately equated Pu Siqinglan with Shi Kaobing in my mind.

However, despite his excitement, Conan turned his gaze to Xia He.

He provided me with key information over and over again…

Is it a coincidence?
Or is it intentional?
He touched his chin.

I always feel like there’s something a little off about this Officer Shiratori.
