Conan: I am definitely not a kid

Chapter 60 Bourbon muddies the waters
  Mori Yura put poison in the water source on the cruise ship.

Even among gangsters, there are only a few people who are so vigilant that they only drink sealed drinking water to prevent poisoning at any time.

The next morning, the number of coughing people on the cruise ship gradually increased.

At first, most people didn't notice the problem, but as the number of people showing symptoms slowly increased, some people gradually started to become worried.

Could it be the flu? But isn’t this spread a little too fast?

The slightly worried people wanted to inquire about the situation, only to discover that neither Ronald nor the senior officials of the Yaji Club were missing!
  This discovery immediately shocked everyone.

Most of the people on the boat were gang members from different gangs, and their trust in each other could only be said to be reluctant. Now that the situation seemed wrong, the crowd became alert almost immediately.

The biggest purpose of this cruise trip is to allow Yayoshi and Ronald to discuss business on the high seas, a place outside Japan's jurisdiction. Others can only say it is by the way. Now the two most important groups of people have disappeared at the same time. Even the most clueless person can understand that something must have happened!

And what happened is probably related to these missing people!
  People who originally didn't take the flu seriously did not dare to relax at all when dealing with this news. Gangs of all sizes quickly gathered their manpower to search for traces of Yoshihide and Ronald on the ship.

The cab, one of the few that could be found and surrounded by Yayoshikai members, immediately became a target.

The manpower guarding the cab was very limited, and they were no match for these gangs combined. Everyone pulled the guard of Yajihui aside and opened the door with a bang——

"Oh my god..."

"Dead! All dead!"

"The captain is dead! There is no one piloting this ship now!"

The horrified shouts caused an uproar among the crowd. This time, there was no order from Ronald to suppress the news. True and false rumors and panic quickly spread to every corner of the cruise ship.

"Have you heard? The captain is dead!"

"Then can we still go back?"

"Does anyone know what's going on?"

"Didn't Ronald order this ship? Should he know something? There are so many of us and we haven't found him yet?"

Generally speaking, on a long voyage, the crew responsible for driving would be divided into different shifts, taking turns to rest and work, but the doctor chose the poisoning time perfectly.

Because of the death of the chef yesterday, the captain, who knew who was on board the cruise ship, gathered all the crew members, and while he was instructing them on safety regulations, they were suddenly attacked by poison gas. Now everyone is rummaging through the cruise ship. A group of people capable of sailing a ship were dissatisfied.

"Where are the people from the Yajikai?! They must know something!"

"What's going on... There are more and more people coughing. Who has called the doctor! We need a doctor too!"

"Look over there, it's Yoshikai!"

A group of Yoshikai members pushed through the chaotic crowd like headless flies and walked over from the other end of the hall.

Although these people were loud when they clamored before, after all, Yajikai was the local leader and really took action. The other gang members retreated to the side in anger, and no one took action directly.

Most of the senior members of the Yoshikai Association have been poisoned, and the few remaining ones lack prestige. Other gangs will not give them face, so Nishizono has no choice but to have people support him to control the situation.

Xiyuan glanced at the panic-stricken crowd. These people had just started coughing and had not lost their minds in the face of death threats. Now that they had taken the initiative to stand up, at least things were under control.

Seeing that Wuji had something to say, the noisy crowd gradually quieted down.

Xiyuan's face was pale with a sickly flush, and his voice was weak, but his tone was as usual, slow and irrefutable.

With a calm face, he announced to everyone: "There is someone poisoning this ship and wants to kill all of us." As soon as these words came out, the whole place exploded like a frying pan.

Everyone's first reaction was disbelief and they argued loudly, but Xiyuan did not give them time to slowly digest the situation. He said concisely: "According to what we know, the first person who was poisoned was the chef on the ship. I'm afraid the poison was... It was dropped at that time.”

"Then what you saw, the captain and the others in the cab." Nishizono concealed the news of the death of his gang leader and said vaguely, "Our Yoshiki-kai has also lost its members."

After all, it had been a whole night since the informant was poisoned, and most of the symptoms of those who were poisoned by Yaji would have worsened.

Not many people knew about the chef's death, but many people present had seen the captain's body. Coupled with Xiyuan's visibly weak state in front of them, everyone panicked for a moment and more or less believed the poisoning theory. .

The crowd kept whispering to each other and worried.

"How on earth are we going to get back?"

"Who knows what the current route is? Is the cruise ship returning?"

Someone asked loudly in panic: "Where is Mr. Ronald?"

Nishizono shook his head: "Mr. Ronald has already left by helicopter."

Ronald actually ran away first? !
  In the crowd, the irrepressible discussion suddenly broke out.

Speaking of this matter, Yajihui was obviously a little angry.

Because we don’t know how the members who broke into the cab were poisoned, the door of the cab has been blocked from the outside by Yoshikai since the incident.

The leader died last night and the cadres were poisoned. Yajihui spent a lot of time just to determine who would take charge of the overall situation. The interior was in chaos and there was no time to solve the problem of how to enter the cab and return home.

It was only just now that Xiyuan received reports from people below that the people who entered and exited the cab today came out alive and did not show any obvious discomfort.

Xiyuan:……

The people they entered yesterday obviously died at the scene, why didn't anything happen to this group of people today? !

If they had known this, they should have taken the time to return!

Nishizono, whose symptoms had worsened overnight, looked confused. Anyway, now that he knew that the cab could be entered, the top priority was to return to the shore as soon as possible and seek treatment from a doctor.

Xiyuan's performance was relatively calm, but that didn't mean that the others who had just learned the news could also calm down and think.

"gone?"

"You know someone poisoned you, right?"

Someone cursed loudly: "Since we all know that someone poisoned us, why didn't we tell us to be prepared! If we hadn't found out that the captain was dead, would we have been going around like this on the sea!"

"Yes! He ran away and left us here to die!"

Nishizono had already anticipated the outburst of these people. He shook his head and sighed with a sad look on his face, letting everyone vent their anger for a while before slowly speaking to take control of the scene: "We, Yoshiki, have been engaged in shipping business all year round and are familiar with driving large ships. Why don't we Just let us..."

Before Xiyuan could finish his words, a sudden loud noise interrupted him.

"boom--!!"

In the uncontrollable panic of everyone, and with a violent shaking under their feet, the explosion of a bomb, which was very familiar to the gangsters present, came from underneath the hull!
