Model worker and his little darling

"I'm wondering if this person could be Mr. Kanie. I remember when I asked him for the time today, he was wearing that gold watch."

After hearing Ebina's words, Officer Samezaki squatted down and examined the body again. "Although the body is burned beyond recognition, this sweater is indeed the one he was wearing."

Uncle Mori nodded in agreement, "I remember the pants are the same pair, that's right."

Ping Qing, who was standing on the outermost edge, was immediately startled. Could he really see clearly in the dark? He then walked directly to the corpse to examine it.

He wanted to see how the fire had spread; the body was charred beyond recognition, yet the sweater and pants worn on the outside were unharmed.

Uncle Mori, seeing Taira no Kiyoshi's actions, asked curiously, "Taira no Kiyoshi, is there a problem?"

"Uncle, this corpse is so useless, it's not even as durable as the clothes."

Everyone:...

The deck fell silent. Everyone stared at Ping Qing, and after hearing what he said, it seemed to be true.

Seeing that no one spoke, Pingqing continued, "This person is burned like this, we can't just assume he's Xiejiang based on his clothes, right? Maybe the murderer disguised him as Xiejiang to make it easier to commit the crime later."

Silence...

Officer Samezaki let out a sigh of relief. "Indeed, it's a bit early to conclude that he is Kanie."

Conan nudged Hattori, saying, "See? Taira no Kiyoshi's thought process is always so amazing."

Hattori nodded. "He's definitely different from us. I remember he was only 19 years old when he graduated from university and became an FBI agent. That's impressive."

Hearing the two discussing him, Ping Qing walked over directly and asked, "What are you two whispering about me about?"

"You're really something."

Ping Qing smiled slightly, "Conan is amazing too. He learned everything in Hawaii. He can shoot, fly a plane, and drive a speedboat..."

Hearing Hirai praise Conan to the skies, Hattori sighed, "So I'm the worst one after all."

"No, no, no, Conan's fighting skills are no match for yours, and his singing is just average. I have some audio recordings of him singing here, I can send you a copy, you can enjoy them at your leisure."

Hehe, good things should be shared.

Conan, who was deep in thought about the case, was completely stunned when he heard Hirai Kiyoshi record his singing.

"Okay, I've never heard Kudo sing before."

Seeing Hattori's expectant look, Taira Kiyoshi flicked Conan on the forehead, "Come on, let's do one right here."

Perhaps the murderer couldn't take it anymore and jumped out to confess to the crime.

Conan rolled his eyes, rubbing his forehead. "Investigating the case is the priority now." He then went to Uncle Mori's side.

Hattori looked at Taira, who generously shared the good stuff with Hattori.

Hattori then followed Conan, and the two began to examine the corpse, offering their own deductions.

As Hirakiyo watched the two busy people, he remembered that poor Hattori had apparently discovered something extraordinary before falling into the sea.

Tsk, he'll follow Hattori around in a minute and save someone's life at a crucial moment, thus achieving his goal of building a good relationship.

Back at the restaurant, Officer Samezaki had regained his energy and began questioning everyone.

In an instant, the restaurant turned into a police station.

A short while later, Uncle Mori came over and explained the results of his investigation: all the crew members had alibis when the explosion occurred.

Miss Isogai suddenly mentioned that she had gone to her room to rest because she wasn't feeling well, and that Kameda hadn't appeared since. Everyone was shocked and rushed to Kameda's room, but there was no one there.

Hattori and Conan exchanged a glance and decided to split up.

Conan originally wanted to bring Hirai along, but Hirai pointed to Uncle Mori, indicating that he wanted to go with Uncle Mori.

Seeing how energetic the uncle was today, Conan nodded. It was good that they were investigating separately; they would learn more by doing so.

Seeing Hattori and Conan rush out full of fighting spirit, Taira calmly followed behind Uncle Mori, taking advantage of the chaos.

[Host, Heiji Hattori has already gone to the deck.]

Pingqing lifted his foot and walked towards the deck.

……

"boom--"

With a gunshot, a corpse appeared at Gin's feet, its eyes unable to close, a bloody hole in its forehead, a gruesome death.

"Walk."

Vodka followed behind, noticing that his boss was unusually irritable today. They had already dealt with several people, each one of whom had died a gruesome death.

I was busy until late at night, and then I returned to the safe house.

Dark and still.

He glanced at the things on the table, which were exactly the same as before he left, and his face instantly darkened.

People ran away.

It looks like he ran away after he left.

What a little rascal! I promised him I'd wait for him to come back.

I picked up my phone and made a call.

……

Just as Hirai stepped onto the deck, his phone vibrated. Before he could even see who it was, he saw Hattori climb over the fence, looking like he was about to fall.

Heiji rushed over and grabbed Hattori's arm.

"I told the department that even if we can't solve the case, it's not like you're thinking of jumping into the sea. If it weren't for me, you really would be feeding the fish in the sea."

Hattori was speechless. "You're the one who's thinking of jumping into the sea. I've found an important clue here."

Turning around, I saw a dark figure approaching. "Pingqing, be careful, there's someone behind you."

Ping Qing smiled slightly, grabbed Hattori and pulled him onto the deck. He turned around and kicked the shadowy figure in the back of the knee, then kicked the shadowy figure in the face.

"Boom-"

The dark figure fell to the ground with a thud, letting out a painful groan.

Pingqing punched him twice more, and then, under the cover of darkness, took the keys from his pocket.

"Hattori, I've caught the culprit."

Hattori shone his flashlight on the person on the ground and clicked his tongue. "I didn't expect it to be you. I'll go call Uncle and the others over."

After Hattori left, Taira no Kiyoshi remembered that someone had called him.

I picked up my phone and saw, "Qin-chan~, on a call..."

He clearly remembers that the call hasn't been connected yet. Did he accidentally press the button?

"Koto-chan~, what's up?"

Gin scoffed when he heard Hirai speak, "Where?"

As soon as he answered the call and heard about the case and the murderer, he knew that Pingqing had been hanging out with that detective again.

Hearing Gin's extremely cold voice, Hirashi shrank back. Why did he feel like Gin's coldness was coming from the phone?

"Ahem, Koto-chan~, I'm floating on the ocean right now."

"return!"

"How am I supposed to go back? Just disappearing like this will scare them to death."

"When are you coming back?"

As they talked, Pingqing felt that something was off. Wasn't he angry? Why did it feel like the other way around now?

Seeing Uncle Mori and the others arrive, Hirai said softly, "Koto-chan~, someone's here, I'm not talking to you anymore."

"Pingqing, what's wrong with him?"

"Oh, he tried to ambush us and push us into the sea. I hit him a little too hard, and he passed out."

Officer Samezaki looked at Hirakiyo and said, "Well done, young man. Mori, take Kujirai back and keep an eye on him."

"Hey, uncle, that crab river has been hung on the rope ladder at the bow of the boat."

Upon hearing this, Samezaki quickly dragged Kanie's body onto the deck.

With the older men handling the aftermath, just as Hirai was about to return to his room, Conan came over.
