After everyone boarded the ship, the Ghost Ship set sail for the Pacific Ocean. At the same time, the captain of the Ghost Ship appeared in public and announced the next event. According to him, there was a mortal among the guests, and what they had to do was to find this mortal … Of course, they needed to form a team for this, but …
"You guys work hard. I'm going to rest here for a while."
Compared to Mori Kogoro and Nishiko, who were excited to know that they could star in a movie as long as they performed well in this event and were chosen by the staff, Fangzheng was bored. He just sat at the bar, drinking a non-alcoholic cocktail, and waved his hand in boredom.
Mori Kogoro ignored him. He took Nishiko and went to look for other people to form a team.
At that moment, Pumpkin Head Conan finally came to Fangzheng.
"What do you think?"
"Are you talking about the murder notice?"
Fangzheng yawned lazily.
"Don't ask me. I don't know. I can't tell either. Just like how I don't know what you're thinking right now."
"Yeah …."
Conan choked when he heard Fangzheng's answer. He had hoped that Fangzheng could display his ability to find the murderer in this group of people and stop him in advance. But now it seemed that there was no hope. But when he thought about it carefully, it made sense. Everyone here wore heavy makeup and made themselves look like ghosts. Some of them were even wrapped in bandages and wore werewolf masks. If Fangzheng could even see through this, it would mean that he had x-ray vision.
"Besides, I'm just here for a walk. I have to go back later."
Fangzheng put down the glass in his hand.
"That's why I'm telling you in advance."
"Where are you going …."
Conan broke out in cold sweat when he heard Fangzheng's answer.
"This ship has sailed to the Pacific Ocean."
"The Pacific Ocean isn't covered. Can't I swim back?"
Fangzheng rolled his eyes and looked at Conan.
"All in all, I'm telling you first, no matter whether there's a dead person or not, I'll be leaving in a while. So, if anyone suspects that I'm the murderer, please ask Uncle Mao Li to cooperate with me."
"Hey hey hey, you sound like someone's going to die...."
Conan was speechless.
"Since both of you are here, the possibility of someone not dying seems to be very small. Besides, it would be a problem if the guy who sent the invitation didn't make a move. Anyway, I'll leave the task of finding the culprit to you."
"…"
No one has died yet. What do you mean by giving me the task of catching the murderer in advance?
"If you're busy, then don't participate in this kind of activity."
At this time, Conan was also speechless. Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders.
"It's mainly because I'm not sure if there's anything I need to do. If there isn't, I'll stay. If there is, I can only leave."
"Fine, you're rich and capricious."
Conan thought about it carefully and felt relieved. After all, his childhood sweetheart also had Suzuki Yuuko. Although Suzuki Yuuko did not look like a rich girl at all, she was indeed rich. Conan had seen it more than once. In contrast, Fangzheng was also rich, so Conan would not be surprised even if he called a private helicopter or yacht to follow him.
But Fangzheng's conviction that someone would definitely die if he was present still made Conan very unhappy ….
He even specifically asked Conan to be his alibi. If Conan did not know Fangzheng, he would really think that Fangzheng was the murderer.
Otherwise, why would someone ask someone to make an alibi for him before killing someone?
On the other side, Belmond, who was disguised as a new doctor, immediately got ready to take action after learning that Fangzheng had gone out to sea.
But the two sisters were really leisurely. Belmond had been following them since just now. In the end, he saw Ming Mei and Xiao Ai go to the mall, watch a movie, have dinner, and now they were still strolling on the pedestrian street ….
They were so leisurely that they did not know that they were about to die.
A murderous look flashed in Belmond's eyes as he looked at the backs of the two.
"It's almost time, sister."
Xiao Ai glanced at her personal terminal and said to Ming Mei in a low voice. Ming Mei nodded, and her expression became serious.
"Then, let's take action."
After that, the two finished the rest of their drinks, stood up, and walked out of the pedestrian street. Then Ming Mei returned to the car with Xiao Ai, and the two quickly left the place. At the same time, Belmond stepped on the accelerator and followed them.
She had already made a plan. First, she would disguise it as an accident, then take advantage of the chaos to make her move. It was just that the location was not easy to find because the Skynet system covered almost the entire Dongjing. Belmond had to find a place without cameras to make his move. Otherwise, the police might ask her to have tea the next morning.
Thinking of this gave Belmond a headache. How nice Dongjing used to be. The shadows under the prosperity and beauty were so charming, and everything that happened inside was unknown to the public. Now, it's difficult for you to make a move in broad daylight, and it's even more difficult to find a place without cameras.
Belmond had secretly investigated and found that even the hidden corners of the park were installed with cameras disguised as bird's nests. There were no dead angles at all. How crazy was this?
In the past, it was so convenient to follow someone in the park and kill them secretly. He could even sink the corpse to the bottom of the lake. But now, there were cameras everywhere, making it more and more difficult for Belmond to do things.
"Sigh …"
Thinking of this, Belmond also sighed. Although there were senior officials in their organization who had instructed them to oppose the installation of the Skynet system, the Skynet system was simply too easy to use. Now, except for Mihana-cho and Bego-cho, the crime rate in the entire Dongjing had dropped greatly. Belmond even heard from the Metropolitan Police Department that the Osaka Police Department seemed to have their eyes on the system …
If things continued to develop like this, the organization would sooner or later kill Fangzheng.
Otherwise, once the Skynet system was popularized throughout Japan, how could they happily blow up bridges, cars, buildings, murder, arson, and rob in the future?
Just as Belmond was thinking about these things, Ming Mei also drove to the crossroads in front of him. At this moment, the traffic light flashed twice and turned yellow. However, at this moment, Ming Mei, who seemed to be about to stop, suddenly stepped on the accelerator. Then, the car she was driving rushed across the white line like an arrow, made a right turn, and drove directly to the highway not far away!
I've been discovered?!
Seeing this scene, Belmond was also taken aback. She hurriedly stepped on the accelerator and rushed through the red light to catch up.
To be honest, she had never considered the possibility of being discovered. Belmond was a top elite of the Black Man organization, while Miyano Akemi and her sister, one was just a low-level peripheral member, and the other was a researcher who basically never went out. They certainly did not know much about reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance, so it was almost impossible for them to discover her existence.
But now, there was obviously something wrong with their reaction, but …
They were still too inexperienced.
Looking at the speeding car in front of him, Belmond's mouth curled into a sneer. If it were her, even if she discovered someone was following her, she would quietly lure the other party into her encirclement before making a move. But now, the sisters were obviously in a panic after discovering that someone was following them. They were obviously trying to get rid of her. Are you kidding me? Do you think it's that easy to get rid of them?
Under Belmond's hot pursuit, Miyano Akemi seemed to have really lost her composure. She drove around like a headless fly, but in fact, it was all under Belmond's control. She deliberately drove them to the sparsely populated suburbs. This way, as long as they were out of Skynet's surveillance range, it would be much easier for her to move.
"That's great, sister!"
Through the rearview mirror, Little Grief cheered as she looked at Belmond, who was in hot pursuit.
"You did a good job. Belmond didn't suspect anything at all!"
"No, this …"
Hearing her sister's praise, cold sweat appeared on Miyano Akemi's face.
"It's not acting, it's just that I really can't get rid of her tracking … After all, I'm not very good at it …"
"…"
Forget it, the result is good, everything is good, it's all the same.
In any case, I'll contact Fangzheng.
Looking at Ming Mei, who was holding the steering wheel and sweating nervously, Xiao Ai decided to save her sister some face.
"I'm leaving."
Fangzheng closed his cell phone and glanced at Conan with Pumpkin Head.
"I'll leave this place to you."
"How are you going to leave?"
Conan asked curiously when he heard Fangzheng's words, but Fangzheng just chuckled.
"The Pacific Ocean isn't covered. Can't I just swim back?"
After saying this, Fangzheng turned and left the bar.
"Hey, wait!"
The more Fangzheng said this, the more curious Conan became. He hurriedly moved his two short legs and followed, but Fangzheng was obviously much faster than Conan. Conan only saw Fangzheng moving left and right in the crowd a few times, then he came to the cabin, pushed the door open, and walked out of the cabin. Conan hurriedly followed. When the door was about to close, he pushed the door open and came to the deck.
But … …
Where is he?
Conan looked left and right. He looked at the empty deck with a dumbfounded expression.
What's going on?
Could it be that Fangzheng was learning Thief Gid's magic?
I don't believe it!
At that moment, Conan was full of energy. He had already deduced that there were no yachts or helicopters nearby. Unless Fangzheng could fly like Kidd, it was impossible for him to leave the ship.
They were in the Pacific Ocean. Even with Gid's paraglider, it was impossible for him to fly from here to land. There was only one truth, and that was that Fangzheng was still on this ship!
In the name of a famous detective, I will find you!
Conan, who returned to the cabin, did not notice that at the same time, a huge shadow flashed across the sky and quickly disappeared into the distant night …
Crash!!!
The speeding car smashed through the broken barbed wire gate and rushed in. Then, it crashed into a pile of wood not far away.
"Get out of the car!"
Ming Mei hurriedly pulled Xiao Ai up, and the two of them hurriedly ran out of the car. However, before they could take a few steps, they heard gunshots coming from afar. Then, soil splashed around their feet. Ming Mei grabbed Xiao Ai, and the two of them hid behind a pile of wood.
"Okay, the game of hide-and-seek is over."
Belmond also got out of the car. She had a smile on her face and was full of confidence.
"The scenery here is beautiful. It's not bad to use it as a cemetery for you two sisters."
"…"
Ming Mei took a deep breath, then reached into her pocket and took out a pistol. Although she was also a member of the Black Man organization, Miyano Ming Mei was not very good in this area. Otherwise, she would not have only been a peripheral member. If Miyano Ming Mei had a little bit of expertise in this area, the organization would not have given up on her so easily.
Unfortunately, Ming Mei really could not do it …
"You don't think you can escape, do you?"
Belmond looked around. This place seemed to be an abandoned lumber yard. There were piles of wood everywhere. If she looked for them one by one, it would indeed take a lot of time. Perhaps the other party had the same idea. But … did you think Belmond would be unprepared?
"It seems that you've forgotten how powerful the organization is."
Belmond sneered.
"Then, let me help you remember … Come out, Calvados!"
"Rumble —!!"
Along with Belmond's command, the two sisters soon heard a roar from afar. In the next moment, a helicopter suddenly appeared in mid-air, and a dazzling searchlight directly shone from the helicopter, enveloping the two sisters.
Seeing this, Lian Mingmei's face turned pale.
"Do you understand? You have no chance to escape. "
Belmond held his pistol as he slowly walked towards the pile of wood where the two of them were hiding.
"If you dare to move, the heavy machine guns on that helicopter will immediately turn you into meat paste. If you don't want to die so miserably, surrender obediently. I can still guarantee that I'll leave you with a whole corpse …."
As he spoke, Belmond got closer and closer. At this moment, Ming Mei and Xiao Ai were also extremely nervous. They held each other's hands tightly. For the two of them, they were already in a desperate situation. The only thing they could believe in was …
"Boom!!!"
And just as Belmond was about to walk over, suddenly, there was a violent crash. Belmond looked up in surprise, only to see that the helicopter seemed to have been hit by something, it spun and fell down frantically, then directly fell to the ground, burst into a loud bang, and turned into a big fireball.
"What's going on?"
At this moment, Belmond also realized that the situation was not good. He hurriedly retreated.
Could it be that this was a trap?
At the same time, the wind whistled.
At this moment, the wind mixed with the wild sand blew in his face. A huge black shadow swept across the night sky. Its shadow covered the sky and even blocked the silvery white moon.
The next moment, the shadow landed heavily on the ground.
"Dong —!!"
As the black shadow landed, the entire ground trembled. Ming Mei, Xiao Ai, and Belmond couldn't help but raise their heads and look at the black shadow.
Then, their eyes widened in surprise.
