Chapter 34: Seiran Urashima's Counterattack Fails
Seiran Urashima was puzzled as to how such a thing could be in her bag. She narrowed her eyes and held her breath, hesitating between taking the opportunity to kill these people and escaping as quickly as possible.
Chi Feichi vaguely saw Seiran Urashima's reaction in the smoke. Wearing Ninzaburo Shiratori's face, he stepped forward and pretended to attack, helping Seiran Urashima make a quick decision.
"Don't run!" Conan also provided an assist in the smoke.
Seeing that there was more than one person who had not lost consciousness, Seiran Urashima immediately decided to leave. She fired a random shot at Chi Feichi, not caring whether Chi Feichi dodged or not, and ran to the deck, jumping into the sea to escape.
Conan chased after her, but it was too late. He stared solemnly at the sea surface that had returned to calm.
Next to him, a figure rushed out, scanning the sea, his expression grim, "Damn it! She got away!"
Conan turned his head in confusion, Police Officer Shiratori?
No! Police Officer Shiratori couldn't have reacted so quickly in a sudden attack!
Even if Police Officer Shiratori could react and wasn't knocked out by the Hypnotic Gas, he wouldn't show such a terrifying expression...
Who is it?
Who exactly is this guy?!
After Chi Feichi diverted Conan's attention from Seiran Urashima, he put away the grim look on his face and turned to look at Conan, whose expression was gradually becoming vigilant.
He was really worried that Conan would 'very scientifically' kick a soccer ball and knock Seiran Urashima unconscious in the sea.
Now that Seiran Urashima was almost far from the side of the ship, this bounty target was considered saved from the Death God Elementary School Student's hands...
Conan also stared fixedly at the 'Police Officer Shiratori' in front of him, his mind racing.
Disguise Technique?
Is it Kaito Kid?
No, if he guessed correctly, Kaito Kid should have disguised himself as Chi Feichi to get on the ship.
Then who exactly is this person in front of him? Kaito Kid's accomplice?
"Conan, let's go inside first," Chi Feichi smiled, using Ninzaburo Shiratori's gentle tone, "Now that the armed criminal's whereabouts are unknown, it's very dangerous for a kid to stand outside."
"Uh... yes~" Conan was creeped out by the speed at which the person in front of him changed faces and ran into the cabin.
The people in the cabin had been woken up one after another by Kuroba Kaito. The police decided to retreat and go back to arrange the pursuit.
Chi Feichi, using Ninzaburo Shiratori's identity, left with the police by helicopter. After arriving at the Metropolitan Police Department, he found a reason to leave everyone's sight and also left the Metropolitan Police Department, 'borrowing' a car on the roadside and rushing to Yokosuka Castle.
After Seiran Urashima jumped into the sea, she found the right direction and swam hard towards the Coast.
It was still a distance from Tokyo Port, and even she was not sure if she could escape.
Fortunately, she encountered a rusty, abandoned fishing boat drifting on the sea.
Seiran Urashima cautiously observed it before climbing onto the fishing boat to rest, completely unaware that two people were discussing her matter via email.
Kuroba Kaito: [The place where she jumped into the sea is not close to Tokyo Bay. If she can't find a boat, the possibility of drowning in the sea is very high]
Chi Feichi: [I prepared an abandoned fishing boat for her, enough for her to recover her strength and swim to the shore]
Kuroba Kaito: [Won't you really let her run away?]
Chi Feichi: [No, rumors can't be fully believed, but some information can be analyzed. Judging from her past actions, she is a ruthless and cold person, vengeful, and will not give up until she achieves her goal, and has a serious collecting habit. Knowing that there is still an egg in Yokosuka Castle, she will not fail to go, and will go early to prepare, wanting to seize the egg and take revenge on Mori Kogoro, who exposed her identity. Profit plus hate is enough to lure her over]
Kuroba Kaito: [But have you thought about it, the Hypnotic Gas and Tear Gas were taken from me by you. Suddenly something that doesn't belong to her appears in her bag, she will definitely suspect whether she has fallen into someone's trap, right? Maybe she will hide vigilantly first]
Chi Feichi: [In addition to those two beads, there is also a Kid Card in her bag, which was conveniently taken from you. It says 'The treasure is in my possession'. Combined with 'Phantom Thief Kid's' consistent style, Seiran Urashima is likely to guess - 'Phantom Thief Kid wants to use me to mystify, but he didn't expect to help me instead'…]
Kuroba Kaito: [Uh… you've already gone to Yokosuka Castle to intercept her?]
Chi Feichi: [There are still two hours of driving]
Kuroba Kaito: [Then what should I do? That kid is already suspicious of this identity. I still want to go and see the masterpiece of 'The Magician of the End of Century']
Chi Feichi: [Don't you have a way?]
Kuroba Kaito: ...
How does it feel like not only Seiran Urashima, but even he has been arranged clearly?
Shaking his head, he cleared the email inbox, exited the restroom cubicle, and pretended to wash his hands after using the restroom.
The restroom door was opened, and Conan's small figure appeared at the entrance, "Aren't you going to chase after that guy for revenge?"
Kuroba Kaito paused, then continued to dry the water on his hands with a towel as if nothing had happened, "When did you find out?"
"Before, when I asked you if you had seen or heard of a Chinese person with gray eyes, I had already noticed you. You probably thought that someone who doesn't like to talk and doesn't seem to have much emotional fluctuation is easier to disguise, so you disguised yourself as Mr. Chi," Conan said, "But what you don't know is that he doesn't say lazy interjections like 'ah'. Although he is quite lazy, he is too lazy to even say these interjections, and directly gets to the point."
Kuroba Kaito: "..."
That was Chi Feichi acting! Acting!
He hadn't switched over at that time, okay?
"And what made me sure you had a problem was... Hissashi!" Conan continued, "Mr. Chi almost always carries Hissashi with him. Although Hissashi often hides under his clothes, occasionally Hissashi will also peek out from his cuff. You can disguise yourself as Mr. Chi, but Hissashi is a Snake. This kind of pet is probably only dared to be carried around by Mr. Chi as the master. This is also the biggest flaw you can't avoid."
Kuroba Kaito seemed to have gotten a way to deal with detectives from Chi Feichi. He didn't say anything, didn't show it too obviously, and secretly guided him. These detectives' cleverness could instead be used. He immediately said with great interest, "Then you have already confirmed it, right?"
"Of course, I have already called Hattori to go to the hotel where Mr. Chi is staying to confirm," Conan stared at Kuroba Kaito and said, "He found Hissashi in the grass outside the hotel. I think it should be that when Mr. Chi came out of the hotel in the morning, you used some means to make him fall asleep, and then disguised yourself as him to board the ship. As long as you search in the nearby restroom and storage room, you should be able to find him."
"You won't find him," Kuroba Kaito smiled with Chi Feichi's face, and rounded things off for Chi Feichi, "I still need to borrow this identity for a while, and I can't let him be discovered by others now."
"What do you want to do?" Conan pressed, "Aren't you afraid that I will expose you?"
"Go ahead and expose me if you want to," Kuroba Kaito spread his hands, "But, do you think Scorpio will just give up? With me going to Yokosuka Castle, it's always a guarantee."
Conan frowned, "You also want that egg?"
"No, I just want to appreciate it," Kuroba Kaito knew Conan didn't believe him, and threw out another bait, "Moreover, that Miss Ran seems to be suspecting something about you..."
Conan carefully recalled it, and his face changed slightly.
Come to think of it, Ran's behavior today was indeed a bit strange, could it be...
"If I'm there, I can solve the cipher and do the Deduction for you in your place," Kuroba Kaito coaxed and tempted, "It's very normal for Chi Feichi's identity to make some amazing Deductions."
After weighing the pros and cons, Conan still chose to compromise, glanced at Kuroba Kaito's 'Chi Feichi' face, and was a little gloating, "Mr. Chi has a very good relationship with Hissashi. You didn't leave Hissashi by his side and just threw him outside, this hate is a big one."
Kuroba Kaito paused, continued to walk out of the restroom door, and said with a dark face, "Can't I just not want to touch snakes?"
It was obviously that guy himself who threw Hissashi there to deceive you, okay...
Seeing that Kuroba Kaito was about to leave, Conan turned around and said, "If you have any designs on those two eggs, I will still expose you!"
"Whatever."
"Hey, did you bring any helpers this time?"
"No."
Kuroba Kaito left straight away.
Conan stood at the restroom entrance, pondering, not Kid's helper, then who exactly is the guy who disguised himself as Police Officer Shiratori?
...
Late night.
Near Yokosuka Castle, a car drove into the forest.
Not long after, another car drove in, also turning into the forest.
In the car, Seiran Urashima took out the Phantom Thief Kid Card from her bag and stared at it for a moment.
When did Phantom Thief Kid put things in her bag?
She had checked when boarding the ship during the day, and there was nothing in her bag that did not belong to her. In other words, that thief got on the ship, and also wanted to use her to mystify, and also knew her identity and appearance, and maybe even discovered something, which must be resolved.
The same goes for other people who have been in contact with her, especially that hateful detective!
He clearly acted like a confused Uncle before, but he was actually hiding so deeply!
As for this card...
Should she leave it at the scene after she solves those people to mislead the police and divert the police's attention?
Seiran Urashima was stunned for a moment, then chuckled lightly, and after getting out of the car, she casually threw away the card and walked towards the Castle.
There's no need at all, the police will suspect her sooner or later, and are also arranging to pursue her. Then she will sneak in early, and when those people step into the trap, she will bury them together with this Castle!
Seiran Urashima walked to the Castle Gate with coldness flashing in her eyes.
Seiran Urashima skillfully pried open the lock and cautiously pushed the door open to enter.
Seiran Urashima felt a strong wind coming from the side, wanting to dodge sideways and raise her gun.
Seiran Urashima's counterattack failed, and she lost consciousness.
Chi Feichi used a handkerchief smeared with Ether to supplement it, making Seiran Urashima sleep a little more soundly. His gloved hand picked up the gun in Seiran Urashima's hand, looked at it, and confiscated it.
PPKS, produced in Germany, is a variant of the PPK series, light and compact in size, with multiple safeties. It is not his favorite pistol, but it is still a very good spoils.
The bounty didn't say that the gun must be handed in together. It's not bad to keep it as a backup gun. Without the physical evidence of the gun, the police can't close the case either.
However, Seiran Urashima used this gun to shoot and kill Ryu Samukawa. After Seiran Urashima is imprisoned, the police will also know that the gun is in his hands. If he wants to use it, through ballistics comparison, the police will know that he used the gun.
It can be used as a backup gun.
Chi Feichi cleared the trace of entering the entrance, took the person out of the Castle, and looked at the trace of being pried open on the door.
This cannot be cleared...
