The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 543: The Mummy Without Cards

"How long will it take for the ship to dock?"

Shuten-doji asked the ship staff next to him.

Due to the uniqueness of the Devil Card, Kogoro Mori and others were temporarily classified as suspects.

And because of this reason, and his official identity as a policeman, everyone currently tacitly agrees that Shuten Douji is in charge of the overall situation.

"It will probably take another hour."

A staff member answered his question without much thought.

He has been in charge of this matter before, so he is quite clear about it.

"An hour."

After hearing this, Shuten-doji did not feel nervous, but became even more excited.

He licked his lips unconsciously and smiled.

"It seems that we have a chance to solve this case on the boat."

"this........"

Kogoro Mori was a little hesitant when he heard what Shuten Doji said. He always felt that something was wrong with Hakuba Matsu today, but he still nodded.

"Since everyone agrees, let's go back quickly."

When Shuten-doji saw Maori Kogoro nod, he also spoke directly to the many demons and monsters below,

"It's thundering and windy outside. I'm afraid it's going to rain. Let's all go back to the cabin."

Hearing the sound, everyone also rustled into the cabin.

Shuten-doji was the one who spoke, so he consciously walked at the back. When he was about to move, he found that the invisible man was standing there and did not move.

He stepped forward and patted the invisible man on the shoulder.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

The invisible man shook his head, said nothing, and walked into the cabin.

Shuten-doji looked in the direction he had looked before.

That was the small round table on the deck support pole, where a few faint spots of light were reflected.

......

Everyone returned to the captain's cabin, which was the party venue where everyone was previously at.

Because the Devil Card left at the scene this time is unique, other people without the Devil Card have been automatically ruled out as suspects.

So, Shuten-doji called on the seven Devil Cards to gather together and look for the murderer who killed Producer Fukuura.

"alright,"

Shuten-doji looked at the seven demons standing in a row in front of him, shrugged his shoulders and smiled.

"Everyone, please take out your devil cards now."

As Shuten-doji finished his words, the seven people at the scene took out their own Devil Tarot Cards from their pockets.

Except for one person...

"Where are your cards, Mr. Mummy?"

Kogoro Mouri narrowed his eyes and looked vigilantly at the mummies lined up beside him, who were wrapped in bandages all over their bodies.

The mummy was also very nervous at this time. He kept searching his pockets, from the chest pocket of his suit to the pocket of his trousers, and kept muttering,

"Where are my cards? Where are my cards?"

"It was clearly here before, could it have fallen somewhere..."

Looking at the mummy's panicked look at this moment, Kogoro Mori became even less trustworthy of him.

He looked at the mummy with suspicion, as if to say, "I'm just going to watch you perform quietly."

"Mr. Mummy,"

Maori Kogoro smiled contemptuously.

"You are not the murderer, are you?"

"I guess your thoughts at that time should be like this-"

"You deliberately pierced a devil card with an arrow at the scene because you wanted to take advantage of people's subconscious thinking that the murderer would not leave props pointing at him at the scene."

"You want to use this to clear yourself of suspicion."

"but......"

The more Maori Kogoro spoke, the more excited he became. The more he spoke, the more he felt that his words made sense.

"You would never have guessed that the person in charge of this case is the famous detective Maori Kogoro, the famous criminal officer Hakuba of the Metropolitan Police Department!"

"You never imagined that these demon cards were made by Producer Fukuura himself, and there are only seven of them!"

"So, your plan has been exposed by all these unexpected events!"

After Kogoro Mori finished his self-touching reasoning, even he himself had completely believed it.

Suzuki Sonoko also nodded silently, feeling that it seemed to make sense.

"What a joke!"

The mummy was identified as a suspect by Maori Kogoro and was very excited.

"How could I not know there are only seven Devil Cards?!"

"Huh? How do you know?"

Kogoro Mori frowned and looked at him suspiciously.

"Because I'm a member of the crew!"

The mummy shouted loudly. His voice suddenly rose, and the fact that he called himself a staff member immediately attracted the attention of everyone around him.

But the mummy didn't care. He wanted to prove to Maori Kogoro that there was nothing wrong with him.

"It was Producer Fukuura who asked us to blend in with the crowd and carefully observe the acting skills of each group of guests so as to select the right supporting roles!"

"You...you are a member of the film crew?"

Kogoro Mori still found it a little unconvincing.

"Yes, yes!"

The mummy became even more anxious when he saw that Maori Kogoro still didn't believe him.

"It's not just me, all the mummies on the scene are crew members!"

"As soon as we find a guest with good acting skills, we will send a text message to producer Fukuura on our mobile phone."

At this time, perhaps because the mummy handled his interpersonal relationships very well, as soon as he finished speaking, two mummies immediately stood up to support what he said.

One is a mummy with a red-feathered cockscomb head, and the other is a mummy with a short and fat body.

Afterwards, they also talked about how Fukuura producer had many requirements for them. The red-haired mummy was required to have red hair, the mummy was required to drink a certain kind of alcoholic beverage, and the short and fat man was required to only eat Kun meat food...

Moreover, the costumes of each of their mummies were personally carved by producer Fukuura.

However, the only thing in common is that all of their mummies cannot speak.

Listening to what they said, Maori Kogoro was a little confused. What kind of a mess was this?

Listening to the words of the mummies, Shuten-doji and the invisible man were thoughtful.

The invisible man glanced at Kogoro Mouri, who was still arguing with the mummy who was missing the devil card, and silently left the crowd and walked towards the toilet.

However, it's not like no one has discovered it...

Shuten-doji looked at the invisible man's receding back, smiled coldly in his heart, and then slowly followed him without leaving any trace.
