Women only affect the speed of my reasoning!

His long string of words was like a tongue twister, but it easily penetrated all of Snow Mother's defenses.

The mistress of the Yukinoshita family had no choice but to find her way down the stairs.

"It's not that I insist on making things difficult for you, but this matter involves internal information of the Yashiro Consortium. Although I know it, I can't tell others casually. I must confirm your true purpose first..."

"It's as if you really don't know, aunt." Qin Xianshu scratched his head and interrupted.

"So this is just necessary confirmation..."

"Ah yes yes yes~"

"..."

Snow Mother stopped talking.

She suddenly realized that her previous idea of ​​trying to test the other party was a completely wrong decision.

She held a long knife in her hand and her eyes were as bright as lightning, while the other party held six armor-piercing bows and fired plastic sucker arrows at her, and they were still pink arrows that even today's little girls couldn't fool.

It does almost no damage, but its ability to break defenses is extremely strong.

It's insulting... It's not insulting for now, but if she really breaks her guard, it will be extremely insulting.

Xue Mu took a deep breath in her heart and calmed down.

"About the Yashiro Foundation you want to know..."

"Change the subject?"

Qin Xianshu looked at her in shock.

Xue Mu really took a deep breath this time, and she subconsciously increased her tone.

"Let's get back to the business. Besides, isn't that what you want to know about what happened to the Yatsushiro Foundation 15 years ago?"

"Ah, yes, yes, please say it. Please say it."

As soon as the conversation got to the point, Qin Sanshu even changed his title, as if he was in awe for a moment.

Of course, the premise is that you have to ignore the second half of his muttering.

"It's so funny, I still want to save face..."

Qin Xianshu's voice was really not loud. However, the room was quiet enough and the sound of a pin dropping could be heard. His muttering was almost the same as speaking normally.

Xue Mu could only force herself to pretend not to hear and mind her own business.

"15 years ago, the Yashiro Foundation's cargo ship 'Daiichi Yashiro Maru' accidentally hit a huge iceberg while sailing in the North Atlantic, causing the hull to be damaged and the ship to sink. Fortunately, most of the people on board escaped and survived successfully. The only ones who did not escape were a senior officer on the ship and the captain of the '[-]st Yashiro Maru' at the time."

"Well, it didn't seem to be a problem at first, but it suddenly became very suspicious after the Yatsudai Consortium blocked the news." Qin Ushu rubbed his chin.

"Then if I told you that the deputy captain who was responsible for commanding the Yashiro Maru's navigation error at that time was the same person as Kaito Wataru who is on the Aphrodite now, would you feel more suspicious?" Snow? Mother said intentionally or unintentionally.

The high school student detective tapped his fingertips on the coffee table: "The evil-minded capitalist guy and the ruthless deputy captain who is eager for promotion plot to kill the captain who is loyal to his duty. It's a very familiar plot."

Qin Xianshu was not surprised at all that Xue Mu knew these things. It would be better to say that it was normal for her to know these things, because there were so many such dirty things in the real world.

Combined with the note previously found in President Yashiro's room, it is not difficult to guess what happened on the cargo ship that sank that year.

"This wave, this wave is the reincarnation of heaven."

"Is the way of heaven good for reincarnation...?"

Xue Mu understood his hint and sighed inaudibly.

But Qin Sanshu let out a sigh.

"By the way, Auntie, you just said that besides the captain, there was another crew member who was killed that year?"

"It is said that he is a capable subordinate of the captain."

"Is there not one deceased but two, um——"

Qin Sanshu made a villager's voice thoughtfully, then suddenly covered his face, his eyes suddenly lit up under his fingers.

"Hou Li Crab, it turns out that's the case. I always felt that it was against the law... If that's the case, then it's too big, too bold, too interesting, and awesome..."

As if he suddenly figured out something terrible, he couldn't help but swear. He said "f*ck" several times in a row, and then added a few "no wonder".

Then the high school detective Zi Gu stood up from the coffee table, looking like he was about to leave, and said to Yuki Mu and Harano.

"Sorry to bother you, I suddenly thought of something, so I'll leave first."

As for Xue's father, who successfully turned himself into a backdrop, he was completely ignored.

After watching Qin Sanshu disappear outside the room door, Xue's mother turned her attention to her eldest daughter, who was also looking in the direction of the door.

"Yano, do you like him?"

"Um... ah?"

Hearing the question from his mother, Yangno subconsciously wanted to nod, but suddenly reacted. After a brief panic, he calmed down and curled his lips.

"Mom, you are thinking too much. I already have a girlfriend, and there are two more."

"just asking."

Snow Mother replied calmly.

Chapter 238 This will be a decisive blow

After going to Xue Mu's room, Qin Sanshu didn't forget to go to the restaurant to get some desserts before returning to the conference room.

"Give."

After unpacking the Baumkuchen and tearing open the opening, he handed it to Mashiro Shiina, who was chasing after him vigorously. The high school detective took a spoonful of tiramisu into his mouth, and the Megure Police Department on the side came over.

Of course not for food.

The expression of the police department was quite serious: "Brother Usame Shu, I had another talk with Assistant Tsujimoto when you left just now. According to the arrangement, there will be a dinner tonight. Everyone on the ship will be present. President Yatsushiro was originally scheduled to speak on the stage. But now President Yashiro has passed...so should the dinner be cancelled?"

Unexpectedly, instead of nodding, Qin Uanshu shook his head.

"The dinner party? Well, there's no need to cancel it. It's better to say it came just in time."

"Just in time?" Mumu Police Department was stunned, "Wait a minute, according to this, brother Xianshu, you have already..."

"Well, I can't say I'm [-]% sure, but it's basically a certainty." The high school detective shrugged.

"But in order to avoid any accidents, I will tell you about my reasoning and plans here first, and remember not to let others know."

"Good good..."

Upon hearing this, Memu immediately put his head over.

So there was a lot of buzz, and the expression on the police department's face gradually changed from "That's how it is" at the beginning, and finally settled on "How can he do this?"

After saying this, the high school detective even raised his eyebrows.

"OK?"

"But this kind of thing...can it be done?"

The Mumu Police Department was almost speechless in surprise.

"In terms of practical feasibility, the possibility is very low, but it is not completely impossible."

Qin Xianshu waved the little spoon and the old god said.

"Everything is going according to my plan. Let the dinner be held normally. This is a good medium. The death news of President Yashiro and President Guijiang needs to be announced through it, and I also need to use this dinner to lure the prisoner out of the hole. .”

"I see."

Memu Police Department nodded and said

……

Time soon came to dusk.

At dinner time, the banquet was held as scheduled. Unlike last night, where everyone was free to attend, almost all the guests on the ship arrived at the banquet hall at the same time tonight, filling the entire hall with seats.

On the stage directly in front of the hall, the podium representing the host's position has been arranged, and the stage lights on top are all on, shrouding it in a glow.

The spotlight came on, and Tsujimoto Kaho, assistant to the president of Yashiro Foundation, stepped onto the stage and came behind the desk.

Looking around at the guests in the audience, she showed a generous and decent smile, and her voice spread through the entire banquet hall through the microphone in her hand.

"First of all, welcome everyone to the Aphrodite. I am the host of this dinner tonight. My name is Tsujimoto Kaho."

As soon as the words fell, the audience burst into applause.

Tsujimoto Kaho bowed slightly amidst the applause.

"Thank you all, so first of all, please allow me to introduce our main staff to you. The first one is the chief waiter Naoya Misaki..."

As she said these words, a male staff member wearing a Yatsushiro Foundation uniform walked up from the steps next to the stage.

"Next is the ship's doctor, Dr. Mikubo..."

"Chef Shiomi Katsuhiko..."

"Navigator First Class Izawa Yosuke..."

After the four names were announced one after another, four more people appeared on the stage, and Tsujimoto Kaho paused slightly.

"And our captain, Kaito Wataru!"

As the audience burst into applause again, a mean-looking middle-aged man in his 50s walked onto the stage. The sharp corners of his raised eyes gave people a fierce look.

He came to the stage with a microphone, and as soon as he came on stage, he took away the right to speak from Tsujimoto Kaho.

"Well, before I give my speech, I would like to introduce to you the designer who designed this ship, Ms. Minamiko Akiyoshi."

This link was not included in the original opening plan, but now that the captain has said so, the lighting engineer who heard the sound in the control room could only control the spotlight to shine through.

Akiyoshi Minamiko, shrouded in lights, instantly became the focus of the audience.

Facing the gazes gathered from all directions, she nodded calmly, then walked onto the stage, turned to the audience and bowed slightly.

At this point, the staff introduction session has become quite lengthy.

Kaito Wataru picked up the phone and was about to speak again, but at the same time, someone with no eyes interrupted him.

"Captain, I heard that President Guijiang was killed. Is this true?"

The words were like a fuse lighting a dynamite keg, and then another voice rang out.

"We heard that the Yashiro President is also missing, right?"

"The police helicopter will arrive at noon. Has the murderer been caught?"

"This one……"

Facing the overwhelming questions, Kaito Watari was speechless for a while.

The next second, a calm voice sounded throughout the audience.

"As for this matter, let me explain it."

Although there was no spotlight surrounding Xingmu, Qin Ushu still took the stage leisurely with absolutely crushing "ratings".

He is not standing in the C position, but his presence is far better than Tsujimoto Kaho in the C position.

Qin Ushu also held a wireless microphone exactly like Kaito Wataru's. He stood at the front of the stage and looked around.

"First of all, let me dispel some rumors here. Regarding what you just said, these are not rumors, they are facts."

"how come……"

The extremely strange way of refuting the rumors made most people in the audience look stunned.

Qin Xianshu then said: "But the good news is that we have a preliminary conclusion about the identity of the prisoner."

"Really!?"

Someone in the audience praised me at the right time.

"of course it's true."

Qin Ushu raised his chin, and his gaze unabashedly crossed the large crowd and landed precisely on Kusaka Hiroyuki who was mixed in among them.

"President Guijiang was killed in his room. Based on the condition of the body at the time, President Guijiang's death time should be between 11 and 30:[-] this morning. Mr. Kusaka, I will ask again. The last time, what were you doing during that time?"

Kusaka?

This was not a familiar name to most of the people present, and they could only follow the high school detective's gaze and turn their heads.
