Chapter 1122: I Think Miss Akiyoshi is Right
"As expected of Famous Detective Mori Kogoro. I wanted to use that man, and that started when I found out you would also be on the ship," Akiyoshi Minako smiled. "To deceive the Famous Detective, I had to design a fake murderer and make this fake murderer believe he did everything himself. Furthermore, the article in Kusaka's computer also accused my father, who lived and died with the ship, of being a mistake of the era..."
As she spoke, Akiyoshi Minako's expression turned sharp. "I absolutely will not allow anyone to insult my father!"
"Then was your behavior permissible?" Mori Kogoro saw Akiyoshi Minako go to his side and questioned her sternly. "You not only killed three people, but also exploded the ship you designed, putting so many innocent people in danger..."
"I conducted many precise experiments! The amount of bomb, the time the seawater would rush in, the time the shelter would need, etc. Only then did I get this outcome!" Akiyoshi Minako said. Her gaze, filled with resentment, looked towards Captain Kaitou Wataru, who was hiding by the wall. "I just wanted that despicable fellow to taste what my father felt back then! On this vast sea, just like my father, the taste of being surrounded by loneliness and despair! Moreover, Aphrodite is a goddess born from the sea foam, and returning to the foam in the end is also its fate. But since you have already seen through everything, I also have no method..."
Mori Kogoro silently looked at Akiyoshi Minako.
"I'll just surrender then." Akiyoshi Minako turned around to face Mori Kogoro, seemingly having given up, lowering her head and offering her hands forward. Just as Mori Kogoro walked towards her, her gaze suddenly turned sharp, and she smashed a punch towards Mori Kogoro's face.
Mori Kogoro was already prepared. While dodging by tilting his head, he reached out and grabbed the fist Akiyoshi Minako smashed towards him, looking at Akiyoshi Minako sternly. "You probably don't know me. I never use physical force against women!"
"Isn't that gender discrimination?" Akiyoshi Minako asked with a smile. At the same time, she fiercely smashed a palm towards Mori Kogoro's eyes. As Mori Kogoro let go and dodged, she followed closely and smashed a punch into Mori Kogoro's profile.
Mori Kogoro retreated a few steps and stood firm leaning against the railing.
"How about that?" Akiyoshi Minako took off her glasses and threw them aside, walking towards Mori Kogoro. "Like this, are you still unwilling to change your principle?"
Mori Kogoro raised his head and looked at Akiyoshi Minako, wiped the corner of his mouth, and said with a resolute gaze, "Not engaging in unnecessary fights is also my principle. But I don't understand, didn't you say anyway, we three are all going to die on the ship? Why attack me?"
Akiyoshi Minako took off the high heels that would impact her action. "This is all because you hindered my revenge!"
Just as the two people were about to enter a new round of fighting, from the platform above the railing, a man's voice with a calm and indifferent tone came.
"Teacher, indeed, is not frank at all."
Chi Feichei couldn't stand it anymore.
If he weren't here, if it were Mouri Ran, Kisaki Eri, or others, then if Mori Kogoro got hammered, he definitely wouldn't care much.
But Akiyoshi Minako, someone he wasn't familiar with, wanting to fiercely hammer his teacher in front of him, the disciple... Did she think he was dead?
Conan, who was rushing over in the yacht, was stunned, unsure whether he should be helpless or fortunate. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in a moment.
Chi Feichei actually hasn't evacuated yet?
Chi Feichei indeed hasn't evacuated yet?
This fellow couldn't have actually gotten sick, right? Wanting to perish with the sinking ship?
Or just like Uncle, found his reasoning was wrong and wanted to find Akiyoshi Minako to confirm the truth?
Then the unease he vaguely felt in his heart before, besides getting the criminal wrong, was there also the reason that he had a premonition that his little partner's state was wrong?
Seemingly it wasn't just this, there was also unease from the deeper inner self...
"Hassashi?" Mori Kogoro raised his head and looked towards Chi Feichei, who was standing on the platform above, couldn't help but ask, "Why haven't you, kid, left yet?!"
Akiyoshi Minako unexpectedly, there were still people here. She also paused her intention to fight and stood sideways, alert.
Chi Feichei directly flipped down from the railing. After landing and standing firm, he walked towards Akiyoshi Minako, answering Mori Kogoro's question, "I came here to look at the scenery."
"The ship is about to sink, what scenery are you here to look at?" Mori Kogoro went into a frenzy. He turned his head to look on the railing, found that the lifeboats on the sea surface had already gone far away, becoming even more speechless.
Not evacuating when the ship is sinking, and running to the deck to look at the scenery? Are you sick... Oh, right, his disciple is indeed sick.
Akiyoshi Minako's gaze moved between the two people, estimating the probability of her subduing the two people. She was also suspecting that what Chi Feichei said about 'not being frank' meant Mori Kogoro had some backup plan. She said with a half-smile, "Mr. Chi, can you tell me, what do you mean by saying Mr. Mori isn't frank?"
Chi Feichei stood beside Akiyoshi Minako, looking at Akiyoshi Minako, and directly exposed Mori Kogoro's intentions. "If not for you having a face that looks very much like my teacher's wife's, you would have been subdued long ago."
His teacher even said 'don't use physical force against women', nonsense.
If not for Akiyoshi Minako looking like Kisaki Eri, his teacher could have... cough... Anyway, he could win.
Akiyoshi Minako unexpectedly the answer would be this. She was stunned for a bit, raised her hand to touch her face, and her gaze towards Mori Kogoro also carried some complexity.
Famous Detective Mori Kogoro actually wouldn't take action against her because of a face? Is he that affectionate?
Also, why did she suddenly feel like she was fed a mouthful of dog food? And it was dog food from a woman who looked like her. It felt strangely uncomfortable...
After Mori Kogoro was stunned, he immediately shouted, "Hey, hey, not using physical force against women is my persistence and bottom line! What relationship does that have with that woman?"
Akiyoshi Minako chuckled. "Is Mr. Mori denying...?"
"You don't speak," Chi Feichei saw Mori Kogoro still wouldn't admit it, interrupting Akiyoshi Minako's words. He summarized, "Saying one thing and meaning another is a common trick for middle-aged men."
"What saying one thing and meaning another?" Mori Kogoro retorted. "Originally, it had no relationship with that woman!"
Akiyoshi Minako frowned. "I said, Mr. Mori..."
"You don't speak!" Mori Kogoro fell into a state of anger from being exposed. After yelling at Akiyoshi Minako, he yelled at Chi Feichei again, "How old are you, kid? How could you possibly understand the frankness of middle-aged men? Don't pretend to understand everything!"
Akiyoshi Minako clenched her fist and suddenly hammered towards Mori Kogoro. "Can't you listen to me...!"
"Slap."
Mori Kogoro reached out and grabbed Akiyoshi Minako's wrist. "Aki..."
At the same time, Chi Feichei had already controlled his strength and delivered a punch to Akiyoshi Minako's abdomen. Also, he tripped Akiyoshi Minako slightly.
Pain appeared on Akiyoshi Minako's face. Her body also couldn't stand firm, and she fell sideways.
Mori Kogoro's thought was still stuck on the moment of 'being attacked'. His subconscious reaction wasn't to help her up, but to seize the opportunity presented by grabbing her wrist and her unstable footing... and execute a shoulder throw.
"Thud~!"
Akiyoshi Minako was thrown onto the ground. Her mind went blank.
Didn't you say you wouldn't use physical force against women?
Mori Kogoro looked at Akiyoshi Minako who was thrown on the ground, his hand still holding her wrist, but he couldn't help but be stunned.
Who is he? Where is he? What did he just do subconsciously?
After Akiyoshi Minako was stunned, the pain in her abdomen and shoulder followed. She frowned and gritted her teeth, without making a sound.
Seeing this, Mori Kogoro let go of her hand, turned his head, and complained in a low voice to Chi Feichei, who had walked to his side, "Couldn't you have gone a bit lighter?"
Looking at Akiyoshi Minako resolutely enduring the pain, he felt she looked even more like his own wife. He really didn't want to see that face show even a bit of pain... Since his disciple knew why he was unwilling to act, couldn't he have gone a bit lighter when he did?
"It was already very light," Chi Feichei said carelessly. "Also, I think Miss Akiyoshi is right, Teacher. You shouldn't be gender discriminatory."
Akiyoshi Minako lay there weakly, completely losing the desire to speak.
She couldn't muster the strength to resist, and didn't want to resist anymore.
Middle-aged men not only say one thing and mean another, but they also don't keep their promises. Not only do they not keep their promises, but they also habitually ignore others along with their disciple...
"Uncle! Brother Hassashi!"
Conan anxiously ran onto the deck. "Are you guys okay?!"
Seeing another one pop up, Mori Kogoro became even more speechless. "Why did you, kid, come over too?"
The ship is about to sink, and these people are still running onto it! They don't let anyone rest easy!
"Let's not talk about this first," Conan ran closer, gasping for breath. "We have to leave this place quickly!"
"No way..." Kaitou Wataru also followed and ran over, saying urgently, "All the lifeboats have been taken away, and this woman destroyed the life raft."
Mori Kogoro turned his head to look at Akiyoshi Minako lying on the ground, only then realizing Akiyoshi Minako had already fallen unconscious, feeling speechless for a moment.
"Captain!"
A shout came from the side of the ship. Kaitou Wataru ran over to look, only then realizing a lifeboat was stopped beside the ship, and the crew responsible for evacuating the passengers were still on it. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, "We're saved..."
Conan, wearing a white tuxedo, didn't run to the side of the ship, frowning as he stood in place.
For some reason, the unease in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
"Have the others evacuated?" Chi Feichei spoke up to remind them.
Quickly gather everyone and evacuate, he's waiting to go home to wrap up the matters concerning the Yatsushiro Group.
"Haibara and everyone else are already on the search and rescue ship, Professor, Sonoko, and Ran have also already..." As Conan spoke, his face suddenly changed greatly. He roughly understood what the strong unease in his heart was pointing towards. He ran onto the deck and shouted downwards, "Have Ran and Sonoko evacuated?!"
"What are you talking about," Mori Kogoro said helplessly, "They already..."
"Uncle!" Suzuki Sonoko poked her head out from the search and rescue ship below, shouting urgently, "Didn't you see Ran? She went back just now, saying the medal the children gave her was lost where she hid during hide-and-seek, and she wants to go look for it!"
"What?" Mori Kogoro was also startled, and quickly confirmed, "You mean Ran ran back onto the cruise ship? She hasn't evacuated yet?"
Conan couldn't stay put anymore. He turned and ran towards the stairs.
The hide-and-seek spot...
He remembered Ran saying that she saw him playing soccer during hide-and-seek, so it should be above the fifth floor...
Chi Feichei saw Mori Kogoro also immediately followed. He first found a rope to tie up the unconscious Akiyoshi Minako, asked Kaitou Wataru to help watch her, and first put the two people onto the lifeboat below.
Professor Agasa and Suzuki Sonoko helped out and received the people.
"Brother Hassashi, what about you guys?" Suzuki Sonoko asked anxiously.
"I'll go take a look."
Chi Feichei turned and walked towards the upper deck.
It wouldn't quite make sense for him to just leave like this. Anyway, there will be helicopter rescue this time, nothing bad will happen...
"As expected of Famous Detective Mori Kogoro. I wanted to use that man, and that started when I found out you would also be on the ship," Akiyoshi Minako smiled. "To deceive the Famous Detective, I had to design a fake murderer and make this fake murderer believe he did everything himself.
