Chapter 30 is just an actor.
Bai Yexiu wasn't actually very interested in the banquet, except for the target he planned to kill after it ended.
He yawned, lay down on the table, and planned to take a nap before doing his task after the banquet.
At this moment, Conan was nervously looking around. When he saw Bai Yexiu slumped over the table in the distance, catching up on sleep, his lips twitched involuntarily.
This guy really can sleep anywhere...
Suddenly the lights went out, and Sanada Ichizo, who had stolen the Kaito, appeared at the banquet and fired several shots at the imposter in front of everyone.
When they learned that it was actually a performance, the crowd was in an uproar.
Only Bai Yexiu was sleeping soundly with his head on the table.
Conan's gaze inadvertently fell on Bai Yexiu again. All that commotion hadn't woken him; this guy could really sleep.
Ran Mouri's gaze also fell on Bai Yexiu, and she felt a surge of anger when she saw Bai Yexiu sleeping soundly.
He clearly invited Bai Yexiu to watch his performance, but this guy just fell asleep. I still have to save face.
Bai Yexiu was clearly unaware of Kaito's resentful gaze, as he was currently engrossed in his dreams.
He spent the entire night on the rooftop of a building sniping a target, and then spent the rest of the day investigating the company president, which prevented him from catching up on sleep. So, he planned to get a good night's sleep before the cruise ship docked, since he wasn't involved in Kaito's affair anyway. Besides, he already knew the script's direction and had no interest in reviewing it again.
"Hey boy, wake up." A staff member noticed Bai Yexiu slumped over the table, catching up on sleep. Since Kidd was scheduled to appear tonight, they had to be on high alert for anything suspicious.
The moment the staff member's hand touched Bai Yexiu's shoulder, he suddenly felt a flash of silver light in his eyes.
Bai Yexiu suddenly sat up, his right hand slightly awkwardly half-stuck in his pocket.
On her left wrist, Camilla sensed her master's alertness, poked her head out from her sleeve, and stared fiercely at the stunned staff member with her forked tongue flicking out.
The moment the staff member touched him, his scalpel instinctively flashed, its blade even reflecting the light from the chandelier. But upon realizing it was a staff member, he discreetly put the scalpel away.
However, Camilla seemed a little too nervous, which exposed him to the staff member.
The staff member took a step back in terror: "There's...there's a snake..."
All eyes at the banquet turned to the terrified staff member.
Bai Yexiu gave Camilla a reproachful look, and Camilla, frightened by Bai Yexiu's gaze, quickly shrank back into her sleeve.
snake?
Upon hearing this word, Conan immediately recalled the mystery of the murderer being killed by snake venom during the Holmes tour, and he ran over right away.
There was no other way but to put on a show.
Bai Yexiu gritted his teeth, feigning fear, and took a step back, looking around in a panic: "Where? Where are the snakes?"
“He’s in the sleeve of your left hand…” The staff member pointed at Bai Yexiu, his voice trembling.
Bai Yexiu pretended to be startled, shook his left hand violently, and instructed Camilla to get off him and find a place to hide, so that she could come back on him later.
Camilla has been exposed, and Bai Yexiu doesn't want to be suspected because of this.
Camilla understood his meaning. After Bai Yexiu flicked his left hand, Camilla slid out from his sleeve.
Screams erupted all around, while Conan stared intently at the fleeing silver snake. He remembered that this snake was the one that had killed the murderer during the Holmes tour.
Therefore, the person who killed Mr. Toishi might be at this banquet!
As for Bai Yexiu, he used his years of acting skills to portray himself as a victim who had been unaware that a snake had already climbed onto his body.
He's a veteran actor.
Conan had no doubts about Bai Yeshu at all, and it was unclear whether it was because Bai Yeshu was such a good actor or because Conan trusted him too much.
Damn it! Not only was there the Kid arrest tonight, but now this incident involving Mr. Toishi from last time has popped up. Conan felt like his head was about to explode.
Clearly, the police outside the banquet noticed something was amiss, and several officers rushed in.
But by this time, Camilla had disappeared into some unknown corner.
Before anyone could react, a pearl that had fallen to the ground suddenly burst into a puff of pink smoke.
Byakuya immediately realized that Kaito had taken advantage of the chaos to make his move.
The scene descended into chaos.
The chaos caused by the original venomous snake incident had not yet subsided, and now it has plunged into another chaos caused by smoke bombs.
The crowd rushed towards the door in terror. Camilla, taking advantage of the chaos, returned to Bai Yexiu's body.
Among the panicked crowd, Bai Yexiu, sitting quietly on the stool, seemed out of place.
He was thinking, Kidd doesn't kill anyone, is it really necessary to do this?
At this point, Conan had no time to investigate the snake incident; he hadn't even finished dealing with Kid's matter yet.
Bai Yexiu slowly stood up, glanced at the crowd surging towards the door, clicked his tongue, and went to the restroom alone to call Pei Nuo for a chat.
Half an hour later, the tea party between the two "aunties" came to an end, and Bai Yexiu went up to the deck in a good mood.
At the same time, he vaguely saw a shadow thrashing about on the sea.
Bai Yexiu glanced at his watch. At this time, Kaito should be on his way to escape.
He looked away from his watch and gazed at the people swimming desperately in the water in the distance.
It seems that some people appear elegant on the surface, but in reality, they are swimming to escape.
……
When Conan brought the real Ran Mouri back to the banquet, Byakuya followed closely behind.
Having resolved the Kid case, Conan was also eager to question Byakuya about the snake incident.
Faced with Conan's question, Bai Yexiu seemed utterly innocent: "I was catching up on sleep when that staff member suddenly woke me up. He said there was a snake in my left sleeve. I shook it, and there really was a snake..."
Conan nodded, signaling him to continue. Bai Yexiu continued his act: "I was sleeping at the time, I didn't even notice a snake crawling on me..."
Conan looked at Bai Yexiu's innocent expression and his tone, which were also full of innocence, and felt a sense of guilt as if he had arrested the wrong person.
Even after the ship docked, Conan hadn't uncovered anything. He sighed. Was Mr. Toishi's case destined to remain a cold case forever?
Bai Yexiu disembarked first, put on gloves, and mingled in the crowd, waiting for his prey to come to him.
Soon, the target came into Bai Yexiu's field of vision, but it was quite funny that Ran Mouri and Conan were following behind the target.
It seems that Conan will have to witness this horrific and bloody scene up close.
An unknown reflection shone into Conan's eyes, and Conan instinctively shielded them.
That's strange, where did the reflection come from...?
Just as he was wondering, a man in front of Conan suddenly splattered blood everywhere.
Chaos erupted again, with screams coming from all directions.
The man fell straight down with a scream, and Conan and Ran simultaneously saw the man's gruesome death—
A scalpel was plunged into his left eye, almost completely penetrating his brain, and his entire face was covered in blood.
"Ah—" Ran Mouri screamed in terror.
For a moment, the police officers present also panicked, frantically ordering people to cordon off the scene and stop the crowd from running away in fear.
Based on the direction the scalpel was inserted, Conan looked towards the most likely location of the culprit. However, the crowd in that area was in chaos, and a stampede had even occurred. The culprit who threw the scalpel had likely moved to another location, but the crowds in other locations were not much different from those in that location.
hateful!
Conan clenched his fists tightly.
Who on earth was so audacious as to kill two people in front of the police?
The same thing happened at the video game company last time; the bomber was stabbed in the brain through his left eye by a flying scalpel in front of a large group of police officers.
So who exactly is that person?
Conan gritted his teeth and vowed to catch the bastard who killed someone in front of the police.
……
Bai Yexiu was walking on the dock when he glanced back at the chaotic shore not far away. He sneezed as soon as he turned his head back.
Bai Yexiu curled his lips, thinking that Conan was probably thinking something like, "We must catch this bastard who killed someone in front of the police."
However, calling someone a bastard seems a bit impolite.
Bai Yexiu took one last look at the noisy shore.
I'm not some bastard, I'm just an actor.
He's an expert at playing Conan.
