During a lunch time, the police, through collecting and analyzing clues, deduced that the suspect is likely to be a person who has mastered the Yashidai president and the president's schedule.

in the room.

Conan, who was hiding under the table and eavesdropping, thought of the bug through his own behavior and Kogoro Mori's cufflinks.

Just a few weeks ago, Kusaka Hiroshige had private contact with secretary Tsujimoto Kaho in the name of an interview. Coincidentally, at that time, a master key on the cruise ship was lost.

The suspicion is directed at Hiroshige Kusaka.

Conan believes that even if Kusaka Hiroshige is not the murderer, he must have participated in this case in some way. Of course, the specific situation still needs evidence to confirm.

He said to Mumu Shisan: "During dinner last night, Mr. Kusaka only ate half of it and went back to the room... By the way, Gengyi brother also left at that time."

"..."

What a talkative kid... Ye Gengyi's face immediately turned cold in front of the railing on the deck.

Although I have no reason to be suspected, and in order to prevent similar things from happening, I found Kai Tengdu to visit the cruise ship last night with the reason of eating fruit, but... the little detective said so, if nothing unexpected...

【Huh? Another brother? It's not clear where he went, Police Officer Shiratori, you go to him, I will go to Mr. Kusaka with Brother Mori first. 】

Mu Mu Shisan's voice came from the hidden earphone.

(_)…

"What a wonderful trip." Ye Gengyi said lightly.

"Huh? Right?"

On the side, Hui Yuanai's face was full of confusion, so... because she didn't hear the slightest joy from these words.

"The lunch break is over, you go to the doctor."

Before Ye Geng turned around and left, he added: "Remember not to go inside the cabin."

"oh…"

Hui Yuanai watched the back of someone stepping into the cabin with a complex expression.

…

He knew that the police had a clear purpose to come to him to inquire about the situation.

Naturally, Ye Gengyi didn't bother to intentionally delay for 3 or 5 minutes, or simply let the opponent find no one.

Now the investigation of the bomb is the first priority, we can't wait and see what happens, simply participate in the investigation, it will have no effect on the plan, of course, in the 'liquidation list' after the event, in addition to the murderer, it is inevitable to add a detective boy...

Shiratori Ren Sanlang and Ye Gengyi who came out to look for someone "met" in front of the elevator.

Ask about yesterday's dinner.

Ye Gengyi calmly told about going to Captain Haitengdu to get the watermelon, and added:

"That's right, Kusaka Hiroshige also left the restaurant at that time, looking at the direction, he should have returned to the guest room."

"Yes... so we suspect that he took the opportunity to install a bug in the room of the Eighth Generation President, and tapped their schedule today..."

Ren Saburo Shiratori said in a low voice: "Also, the build of Hiroshige Kusaka seems to be similar to the suspect Mr. Mori met in the corridor."

Ye Geng said 'hmm', and asked knowingly, "Do you want to go to Kusaka Hiroshige to confirm the situation now?"

"Yes, the Megure police department and Mr. Mori have already passed. If Kusaka Hiroshige has no alibi, then he has a serious suspicion..." Ren Saburo Shiratori showed a serious expression.

It's a pity...he has an alibi, and the police haven't realized that this case is a multi-person crime...

Ye Gengyi didn't say these words out of his mouth, and took the elevator to the second floor with Ren Saburo Shiratori.

…

"Unfortunately, your reasoning is wrong."

In Room 220, Kusaka Hiroshige's voice came from the open door: "Around 10:15 this morning, I was calling Mihako to discuss matters."

This is a single room, although the space is sufficient but limited, considering that there may be bombs around, Ye Gengyi simply stood in the corridor.

Shiratori Ren Sanlang pushed the door and walked in, and said:

"Excuse me, is the Mihako you mentioned just now the designer of this cruise ship, Ms. Akiyoshi Mihako?"

Although he didn't specifically look up the information on the 'Aphrodite', he had heard of the young beautiful designer Mihako Akiyoshi.

"Eh? You are..." Hiroshige Kusaka was puzzled.

"This is the colleague who came to investigate the case with me, Officer Shiratori."

Mu Mushisan looked at the door, but because of the angle, he couldn't see Ye Gengyi, thinking that Shiratori Ren Sanlang hadn't found anyone, so he turned to Hiroshiki Kusaka and said:

"Mr. Kusaka, keep talking."

"oh…"

Kusaka Guangcheng pointed to the phone on the table: "I used this landline to call her."

"Then how long have you been chatting together?" Mu Mu Shisan asked.

"Let me think about it..."

Kusaka Hiroshige briefly recalled: "It started at ten o'clock, and we talked for about 30 minutes. I'm not sure about the exact time. This phone seems to only be able to check the dialing time, but you only need to contact the staff of the cruise ship. , should be able to find out, right?"

There is no need for the other party to lie about such things that can be discerned from the truth through a simple investigation...

However, in this way, the other party will not be suspected of committing the crime, at least he has an alibi.

Mu Mu Shisan's momentum couldn't help but weaken a bit: "Uh... Then what's the content of your conversation? If it's convenient, please tell me..."

"Oh, you should also know that I am a screenwriter, because the project proposal has just been written, and I want to hear her opinion."

Kusaka Hiroshige opened a document from his laptop and explained: "Because this is a project that uses a luxury cruise ship as a stage play, if it goes well, the Yatsushiro Group will acquire it and make it into a movie or TV series. Therefore, as a designer, Minami The son gave me some suggestions for the cruise line.”

Seeing Mu Mushisan, Mori Kogoro and Shiratori Rensaburo all gathered around the table to watch~lightnovelpub.net~ Shiratori Rensaburo asked: "Have you finished writing?"

"Almost, the details still need to be revised..."

Kusaka Hiroshige shrugged: "The reason why I asked for a separate room is to complete this project without being disturbed by anyone."

"Why did you call Ms. Akiyoshi Mihako? Since we are on the same cruise ship, wouldn't it be more convenient to have a direct interview?" Ren Saburo Shiratori questioned.

Kusaka Hiroshige smiled, as if he had been prepared to explain: "Because Miss Mihako is a single woman, it would be inconvenient for me to go directly to her room, and it would be very inconvenient for me to meet at a restaurant." It's easy to be heard by others, and it's not good to leak things like a business plan ahead of time..."

"I see."

Mu Mu Shisan nodded in understanding.
