A group of people dressed up as Conan characters, and I guaranteed the Black Team's advancement

The moon was high in the sky, and the ghost ship was still slowly sailing along its course, even though a murder had occurred on board not long ago.

Everyone returned to their rooms in unease, and the entire cruise ship felt even more eerie and terrifying. The crime scene was at the corner of the corridor on the third floor.

The body had already been taken to the basement level, and Kogoro Mouri decided to go and take a look at the deceased's room.

"Mr. Mori."

Kogoro Mouri turned around and was stopped by one of the Black and White Impermanence he had met before boarding the ship.

"Huh? Is there something you need?" Kogoro Mouri asked. Rei Furuya smiled slightly and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Mouri, are you on your way to investigate a case?"

Kogoro Mouri hesitated for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Ah... I do indeed need to go and investigate."

"That's wonderful! May I come with you?" Rei Furuya stepped forward, took Kogoro Mouri's hand, and looked at him with great admiration. "Actually, Mr. Mouri, I am also a private detective, and I have always admired you. Although it may be a bit inappropriate to say this, meeting you in this murder case is a real learning opportunity for me. I can be your assistant, please let me come along!"

Kogoro Mouri sized up Rei Furuya. His words were quite agreeable, and at the moment, he didn't seem to be a suspect. Having another person would be like having another helper, so he nodded in agreement and said, "In that case, you can come with me."

Upon hearing this, Furuya Rei appeared extremely honored. The two headed towards the deceased's room on the third floor, only to find that someone had already arrived before them.

"Huh? It's you. What are you doing here?"

Kogoro Mouri looked at Shinichi Kudo, who was dressed as an invisible man in the room. He had already vaguely guessed the other's identity, but he didn't expose him because Rei Furuya was there.

“I’m here to investigate the case too, of course.” Shinichi Kudo looked at Rei Furuya and asked, “And this gentleman is?”

"I'm here to learn from Mr. Mori, and I'm also a private detective," Rei Furuya introduced himself frankly.

Shinichi Kudo remembered that the other person seemed to have a companion, so he asked, "Don't you have a companion? Isn't it alright for him to be alone?"

"He wasn't very interested in deduction, so he stayed in the room. It's alright, my friend may look thin, but he's quite capable, so I don't think anything serious will happen to him," Rei Furuya said with a smile.

Rei Furuya, along with Kogoro Mouri and Shinichi Kudo, are investigating a murder case on the cruise ship. Meanwhile, on the second floor of the cruise ship, Jiang Jin and Shuichi Akai are facing off.

Both men were holding guns and pointing them at each other. Shuichi Akai was near the door, while Jiang Jin was by the bed.

"Hey, Akai-kun brought a gun this time," Jiang Jin joked, holding up the gun. Akai Shuichi raised an eyebrow slightly and replied, "Yes, I brought it, so I don't have to trouble you to lend me the gun again."

"It's alright, I've always been a kind person." Jiang Jin grinned, then said, "What? Didn't Miss Miyano call you?"

“I’ve fought him, and I’ve met him,” Shuichi Akai replied.

"Then why did you come? Is it because you and Ms. Miyano have run out of feelings for each other? Or did Ms. Miyano fail to complete the task I gave her? Or... did you miss me?"

Jiang Jin's gaze was mocking, and although his tone was flippant at the end, his eyes revealed a fierce intent.

What's the difference between the first two?

Jiang Jin blinked, pretending to think, and said, "Hmm... of course there's a difference. If it's the former, I have nothing to say about matters of the heart. If it's the latter, then I'll have to punish Miss Miyano properly when we get back."

“I didn’t know you would be on the ship. So let’s choose the first option.” Shuichi Akai replied, his deep green eyes narrowing slightly.

"Why didn't you choose the last option? It's really disheartening."

Shuichi Akai felt that the person in front of him had a very bad personality, but he was also good-looking, so his bad deeds and immoral behavior had a strange charm.

Of course, the "unique flavor" here doesn't mean anything else. It simply means that the other person's words and actions are both immoral and vicious. If it were anyone else, they would likely display the ugly face of a petty person who has achieved their goal. But with this young man, he's like a beautiful, venomous snake with its fangs bared. Although extremely dangerous, if you seize his weakness, he'll wrap his tail around your arm and pretend to be docile. In reality, he's secretly plotting how to kill you next.

"Akai-kun, there's no point in us continuing this stalemate." Jiang Jin tapped the muzzle of his gun, a malicious smile on his face. "How about I count to three, and we both put our guns down?"

Shuichi Akai looked at Jiang Jin, his deep green eyes darkening slightly: "Alright. But I'm worried you might do something if you're the only one talking."

"Then we can take turns saying it, and we'll count the last number together. Is that alright now?" Jiang Jin offered, appearing very agreeable.

Shuichi Akai nodded: "Let's begin, one."

"two."

The moonlight slanted upwards from a corner, illuminating their faces, where dark red and deep green intertwined...

"three."

Both men simultaneously lowered their guns, but also simultaneously threw something at each other with their other hands. The spinning blade collided with the flying vase, making a shattering sound. Shuichi Akai flashed out the door with lightning speed.

"Tch, he's pretty fast." Jiang Jin sneered and chased after him, gun in hand. The corridor, carpeted with gold velvet, was silent. Jiang Jin looked around but didn't see Shuichi Akai.

His dark red pupils narrowed slightly, and he pointed to the air on both sides with his fingers.

Then he turned to his left, took a few steps, stood in front of a room door, and knocked with his finger.

A voice came from inside the door, asking, "Who is it?"

Jiang Jin coughed softly, and the voice that came out was that of a woman.

"Hello, I am a staff member of the cruise ship. Our captain has prepared a sumptuous supper for all guests."

The person inside seemed to lower their guard because the voice outside was a woman's. He quickly opened the door, but what awaited him was not the midnight snack prepared by the captain, but the dark muzzle of a gun.

"Who...who are you?" The man was first surprised, then became nervous.

Jiang Jin smiled slightly and said loudly, "Don't be nervous, I'm an assassin. Could you please cooperate?"

The male guest in the room was clearly taken aback by Jiang Jin's rude request. He thought the other party was joking, so he frowned and said unhappily, "Are you sick? What time is it? You still have the mind to play games? There's really been a murder on this ship. Go away, I don't have time to play with you!"

"Swoosh—" Jiang Jin suddenly pulled the trigger, the bullet whizzing past the male guest's ear and striking the wall of the room. Jiang Jin smiled slightly, looking at him: "Who told you this was a game? I've already said I'm an assassin. Please cooperate."

"I...I'll cooperate, I'll cooperate." The man's ears were still ringing, and he raised his hand, trembling as he spoke.

Jiang Jin raised his gun, turned to the corridor, and said, "Akai-kun, now I have a hostage. Are you sure you want to continue playing hide-and-seek with me?"

Footsteps echoed in the corridor, and Shuichi Akai suddenly appeared from nowhere.

"Your methods are as despicable as ever."

"Thank you for the compliment. I know your task is to stall me. But my target isn't that FBI investigator. What good is it to stall me alone?" Jiang Jin asked, voicing his doubts. "You two dare to board the ship? Aren't you taking us far too lightly?"

“I’ve said it before, not everyone is prey in this game. You all call yourselves hunters, so how do you know you aren’t the prey?”

Jiang Jin licked his canine teeth with the tip of his tongue. He didn't believe that Shuichi Akai said such things simply to show off his power or act like a megalomaniac. Nor did he absurdly think that two people could surround a group of people, unless…

"You contacted the Japanese police before you came?"

Shuichi Akai did not give a clear answer, but Jiang Jin believed that he had probably guessed correctly.

Jiang Jin tilted his head slightly and said, "I'm quite surprised. Don't you always prefer to keep a low profile?"

“Excessive modesty is also a form of arrogance. We can’t risk our colleagues’ lives.” Shuichi Akai tried to see a tense expression on Jiang Jin’s face, but he didn’t. The other party still maintained his arrogant attitude.

"So what if we call the police? There are 70 tourists on this boat. According to the plan, we can safely get the remaining 67 passengers back to shore after this is over. But you called the police and scared us. Now the fate of those 67 passengers is hard to say."

Just then, footsteps sounded simultaneously from both sides of the corridor. Both of them turned their heads to look. A fox-faced banshee was running towards Shuichi Akai, while Rei Furuya appeared on Jiang Jin's side.

"What a coincidence, it seems our reinforcements have all arrived." Jiang Jin said, looking at the fox-faced woman. She was wearing a ship's service uniform, clearly having disguised herself as a staff member to board the ship.

Shuichi Akai gave the fox-faced woman a wink, then said, "Let's see who the prey is."

"Stop talking and start fighting!"

"No, brother, if you guys keep doing this, I'm going to kowtow."

"Stop staring at each other, let's fight."

"People say that eye contact is a spiritual kiss between humans without lust."

Are you two acting out an idol drama here?

"God of Immersion, have you forgotten your Ah Ling?"

Bourbon: In the end, I was wrong to trust you.

"I laughed so hard I almost threw up."

"Putting down your gun and throwing something at the other person at the same time, isn't that a kind of tacit understanding?"

"This reminds me of that picture about the tacit understanding in the sand."

“Randomly pick an unlucky passenger.”

"Okay, okay, is this the power of a cross-dressing master?"

"My goodness, that's a terrible voice imitation!"

"Don't open the door to strangers."

"I've already told you I'm an assassin, why don't you believe me?"

"If you insist that I fire the gun, then take a look."

"If Shuichi Akai hadn't come out, and that person had been beaten to death, that would have been a different story."

"I want to see stories like that."

"1V1 has become 2V2."

"Alright, now a new situation has emerged: Ray versus Bourbon."

"I want to know what attitude the pure black bourbon has towards Shuichi Akai."

"They play the prey game, that's the popular way to play now, right?"

"The article I mentioned writing has already been sent to the group. Everyone can take it."

"Mom was cooking!"

Guest: Doesn't anyone care about my feelings?

……

Jiang Jin didn't have time to ask Furuya Rei why he was there. He turned his head and deliberately said, "Rei, let me introduce you. This is Shuichi Akai, the FBI's ace investigator. His code name in the organization was Rye Whiskey."

Upon hearing this, Furuya Rei's expression changed, and a murderous intent flashed in his gray-purple eyes.

"It's you! You actually dare to come back to Tokyo..."
