Several people sat down and started playing cards and chatting. In the lounge, there was a lot of noise, and there was no panic in the air.

Nearly an hour later, Kogoro came in from outside with a tired face, took a glass of beer from the bar, and sat down alone.

""Dad, have you found that Ye Sancai?" Xiaolan asked Kogoro.

Kogoro looked up weakly, put his hands behind his head, and sighed:"I've searched the entire ship, but still couldn't find any trace of Ye Sancai. I'm now wondering if this guy can escape underground, so we can't find him."

No wonder Kogoro was so frustrated. A normal person could disappear on the ship out of thin air. Anyone would find it incredible.

""Where's the police officer? Didn't he come back with you?" Hattori Heiji asked

"He said he would hold on until the last minute."Kogoro picked up the glass, drank the beer, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the time, there was only a little more than a minute left until twelve o'clock.

Tick, tick, tick.

For Kogoro, every second hoped to pass slower and slower, but no matter how much he prayed in his heart, when the second hand stopped at 12, he could only sigh helplessly.

""Tap, tap, tap" footsteps came from outside, and Officer Samezaki walked in with his hands in his trouser pockets. When he passed by Kogoro, he stopped and said calmly:"It's past twelve o'clock."

"kindness"

"We can no longer touch this case. Haha, to be honest, I quit my job as a criminal police officer two years ago and I am no longer qualified."

After he finished speaking, he went straight to the bar and said to the bartender,"Can I order a drink now?"

"Of course, do you need something to drink?"

Lu Ming sat on the chair and looked at Officer Samezaki. He seemed very calm, but Lu Ming knew that he was probably feeling unwilling and complicated in his heart.

After twelve o'clock, people gradually left.

Kujirai Sadao, who was playing cards with everyone, also stood up to go to the bathroom.

After Vermouth winked at Lu Ming, she also stood up and said,"I want to go to the bathroom too. Let's play first, I'll be back soon."

"I'll go with you." Xiaolan looked at Belmode:"It will be safer if there are two of us."

She was afraid that Belmode might encounter something while going to the toilet. After all, Ye Sancai had not found

"It's okay." Vermouth smiled at Xiaolan:"I know Chinese Kung Fu. Even if I meet that Ye Sancai, I will knock him to the ground. Besides, I'm just going to the bathroom and will be back soon."

Seeing that Vermouth had said this, Xiaolan didn't force it, but reminded again:"Then you must be careful and come back early."

Vermouth nodded, looked at Lu Ming again, turned and left the lounge.

Five minutes later, Kujirai Sadao and Vermouth returned to the lounge one after another. Kujirai Sadao looked normal, but Vermouth had a big smile on his face, as if he had discovered something interesting. After playing the cards in his hand, Lu Ming gave his seat to Kogoro, and came to Vermouth's side and asked quietly:"Any gains?"

Vermouth nodded and smiled:"It's a big gain."

There were many people around, and Lu Ming didn't ask too much. When he was about to leave, there was a sound outside

"It's gunshots, coming from the deck." Kogoro was the first to react, and said with a serious face.

Officer Samezaki put down the wine glass in his hand, immediately got up and ran outside, and did not forget to ask Kogoro:"Mouri, what time is it now?"

"Twelve o'clock eight." Kogoro checked his watch, confirmed the time, and followed.

"Let's go, let's go out and take a look, it will be a big show." Belmode pulled Lu Ming's sleeve, and there seemed to be some meaning in her smile.

Lu Ming knew that there was a murder on the deck, and he also knew that this was the prelude of the case. He nodded, and followed Belmode behind the others.

The world outside was pitch black, but fortunately the full moon swept down the silver light, allowing people to roughly see the surrounding things.

"Look over there!"

Following Kogoro's shout, everyone looked in the direction he pointed. The flag on the flagpole on the deck was burning brightly in the sea breeze.

"Why is this flag suddenly on fire?" Xiaolan covered her mouth and said in disbelief.

Hattori Heiji stared at the burning flag, thinking:"This should not be an accident, but someone did it on purpose."

"Who is it? What is his purpose?"Kogoro looked puzzled. Hattori
