Chapter 185: Magic War—Dawn

Dusk, Yokohama Port, on the cruise ship Sallybeth.

Although the boat did not sail, there was still a sea breeze blowing from afar, bringing a fishy smell different from that of fresh water.

Children who didn't grow up in a water town will find it a little pungent.

It's a pity that there is no convenience store near the pier, otherwise, the person in front of you might really come up with a sentence like "potato chips are half price".

The Maori family stood on the deck of the cabin, looking down at the crowd as they entered the ship.

Although he claimed to have come over at the invitation of the Suzuki family to help capture the monster thief Kidd, it was obvious that the second lady of the Suzuki family would come and behave, so as not to embarrass his best friend too much.

It's just that since there is such an excuse, it can also be used as a kind of special service for a hotel-theme.

"That's right, it's not so much about setting up a net to put the gems on the inescapable high seas, catching turtles in an urn, and enjoying the joy of pressing and catching Kidd the Monster. Rather, today's cruise ship is essentially a club of the Suzuki Foundation with the theme of Kidd, a strange thief. The fact that a word of not very authentic Japanese came out like this, which made the Maori family, who were already a little used to it, still have an indescribable awkwardness.

"Well, after all, it's Strange Thief No. 1412." Xiaolan said.

"It's Kidd the Thief, not 1412. This is a name that comes from the Japanese national writer Yusaku Kudo, and is in line with the beauty of the Japanese people. If Lupin is the French pride of Sherlock Holmes to the British, then the title of Kidd the Strange Thief is a Japanese treasure. Du Kang, who was dressed in a cocktail attire and wore a dark red gemstone badge on his chest, observed and praised the girl in the dress in front of him, "Speaking of which, Xiaolan, you are the real gem tonight." ”

Lupin, also translated as Robin, is known as Arsène Lupin. is a fictional character written by French writer Maurice Leblanc, a famous thief, adventurer, and detective, on a par with Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes.

"Aren't you going to England?" the girl's father next to him was also observing Du Kang in front of him.

"Why did you come back so soon?" The armpits of the previously slightly wide garment.

"I didn't have anything to do, so I came back." Du Kang said this, not caring that Maori Kogoro stared at his unnatural armpits, "You have no regrets in life." The Great Detective. ”

"You don't say hurry up and hook up with one. How's that, which one do you fancy? Mori Kogoro turned sideways, stood in front of Ran, and hooked up with Du Kang's shoulder. It looks like he has completed the screening of Du Kang.

"That's pretty good." With one hand on the guardrail of the cabin, he missed Mori Kogoro's hook and looked at an approaching sports car.

"It's pretty good." Mori Kogoro followed Du Kang's line of sight, and a man and a woman walked out of a crimson sports car, looking like East Asian people, the male was thirty years old, and the female was about twenty years old, but her stature was far higher than that of her peers who grew up in East Asia.

Of course, a woman's figure can estimate the approximate age range, but it is easy to make mistakes in estimating the age with her face.

"A man opens the door for a woman, one possibility is that the car is new, and the other possibility is that the woman is new." Du Kang, as always, said a joke with obvious regional characteristics, "Great detective, you say, is the person new, or is the car new?" ”

Walking slowly past the waiter holding a tray with a lot of drinks on it, Du Kang walked over, and with his left hand, he used his little thumb and ring finger, middle finger and index finger to steadily clip two goblets from the tray, and then the tiger's mouth jammed a cylindrical glass of fruit juice drink, and his right hand took the juice drink from another original glass.

Squatted down and handed Conan the glass in his right hand. Then he took the glass from the tiger's mouth in his left hand, stood up, and handed it to Xiaolan. He then shared the sparkling wine he was holding in his left hand with Kogoro Mori.

"I think it's possible that the man is new." Mori Kogoro took the sparkling wine shared by Du Kang and said so.

"Wise." Du Kang highly praised Mori Kogoro's answer. It's like the kind of first time I saw and answered, "I jumped with your mother, who do you save?" A person who uses an answer such as "jump down and die together".

This kind of answer, which seems to be a brain teaser, is sometimes the best answer.

“Super-Sports Dalmain。 I couldn't believe I could see it in Japan. Du Kang looked like he had seen it for a long time, and commented on the sports car that was used to change the subject.

For Du Kang, who knew about the limited edition sports car, Kogoro Mori didn't have much doubt. After all, I was educated in Midi, and in a country with a long car culture, I know some sports cars and I know the past.

It's like there are people who are not interested in cameras at all, and they don't know anything about concepts like small spittoons and human spirits, and after an internship in a hospital, they will also know more or less about brands like Sony and Olympus because of laparoscopic surgery. Or because of the marketing of some mobile phone factories or drone factories, I know Leica and Hasselblad.

"There are still a lot of rich people in Japan." Mori Kogoro said.

"That's right, after all, the word tycoon comes from Japan." Du Kang, as always, speaks with etymology, pretending to be unfathomable.

Tycoon, meaning "tycoon", comes from the Japanese word taikun, meaning "Maharaja" or "shogun", referring to the shogun, the real power of ancient Japan.

Of course, if you read it directly, it has a kind of meaning of "Taijun", and this is the reason why "Taijun is here, I will lead the way" in various anti-Japanese war dramas with or without gods. In fact, the Japanese language itself does not have the word "Taijun".

Two big men sit with their backs against the guardrail, chatting about women, alcohol, and tonight's main character, Kidd the Monster Thief.

In fact, there is a party inside the cruise ship, but the people involved are too high-end, although it is not clearly stated, but Du Kang and Mori Kogoro still coincidentally came outside.

When the banquet officially starts in a moment, it will be too late to go in again.

“John。 I'm just down there to see you saying bad things about me. While Du Kang was chatting with Maori Kogoro, a man and a woman came from the side.

Following the voice, the person who came was dressed like everyone else, cocktail attire. It's the men and women who are commented on by Maori Kogoro and Du Kang.

"You are?" Du Kang couldn't remember who it was, but if he could call him "John", he was more or less an acquaintance.

"I'm here, it's me, I'm it." The person who came said this, with a condemning tone of "You have forgotten who I am".

Of course, in an environment like Japan, words like "me, me, me" are also a bit of a fraud. And Du Kang did not give "It's your uncle", which is already very much the cultivation after higher education.

"Oh, it's you." Du Kang looked like he remembered it, and he looked like he suddenly realized.

"So, who are you?" Du Kang lowered his head in sudden realization, looked at the comer, and asked again.

And Mori Kogoro and Conan, who were next to them, looked at the two thirty-year-old men who were playing the "It's me" scam" dialogue with a painful face.

The so-called ""It's me" scam is a common phone scam for the elderly in Japan. With a familiar tone like "it's me", he slowly defrauded the victim of his money. However, in a country like Japan, where "don't cause trouble to others, and don't let others cause trouble to themselves", the large-scale production of Nigerian prince scams such as "it's me" scam is also a kind of black humor.

It is worth mentioning that for this kind of fraud, the police are responsible for the second section. That's right, it's just that when Kidd doesn't come out to attract firepower, he fights his father-in-law's work. It can be seen why as soon as the strange thief Kidd appeared, the second department lined up such a large lineup to praise him.

"You're the prince of Nigeria." Du Kang responded, and irony came naturally.

Nigerian Prince, a well-known scam, is more popular with emails.

The general plot of the story is that several high-ranking Nigerian officials want to transfer huge sums of money abroad in the form of "state secrets", which requires the use of your name and bank account, and after the transfer is successful, you will receive 10% of the tens of millions of dollars as a reward. If you agree to cooperate with these "high-ranking officials", after a while, the scammer will ask you to pay a little "insignificant" handling fee and tip the official first, and after paying the money a few times, the other party will disappear. The "Nigerian Prince" is one such way of scamming without any cleverness.

Of course, when it comes to the Nigerian prince, it feels a bit too foreign. In fact, after localization, it is still very down-to-earth, and it can even be found that these fraud gangs are still full of current affairs and know how to keep pace with the times, such as Qin Shihuang, Ding Yizhen, the son of Yu Liuer's illegitimate son, Lu Han who announced his relationship and was kidnapped by fans, Wang Baoqiang, whose property was transferred, Huo Jianhua, who lost contact with the crew during filming, and so on.

"yes, that's me." The visitor showed an expression of "sure enough, you still understand me", "I am Lord Nigeria." The person who came emphasized the word Lord.

The so-called lord is a broad usage when referring to the British lord - "lord". A bunch of dukes, counts, and marquises together, except on very formal occasions, are basically addressed by lords to each other, in order to appear equal especially to those with relatively low titles.

As for China, there is a similar title - adult. There are different levels of dodai, feudal dai, and shodai, but they can all be addressed to each other as "adult".

At this time, Du Kang did not dwell on the emphasized "Lord" once, but tilted his head and looked at the person who came with a stupid 13 look.

"Mary, I'll just say it, sure enough, Du Kang understands me." Someone called Du Kang's name at once, and at this time, it seemed that Du Kang was a fool.13

People don't just pretend to be funny with you, they can really call your name, which means that acquaintances are having fun. People are clearly your acquaintances, and you not only forget about others, but you also treat others as fools13 and amuse. This comparison is judged from the top.

"So, who the hell are you?" Du Kang had the expression that I met the beautiful girl who fell on the windowsill and then lost my memory.

"Did you pick up a wife and then lose your memory?" The person who came looked at Xiaolan standing next to him, and looked at Du Kang with a concerned expression.

"I'm Manjushri, Hu Wenju, who has three doctorates. Didn't your mother tell you? ”

Looking at the playful expressions of the visitors, Du Kang said, "I'm not impressed. ”

"Oh, by the way, my name is Hu Wenshu now. When I went to school, I was called Hu Qiutian. How, I have an impression. ”

Hu Wenshu tugged at his face, looking like he was pulling it to both sides.

"Expand the two, you have an impression." A look of pride in losing weight, Hu Wenshu said.

"Akita. It's you, why are you like this, and why are you called this now. Du Kang said with a look of sudden realization.

It is also strange to say that the two Chinese, when they say their names, only use Chinese, the rest of the communication, as if to make the people next to them understand, Du Kang uses a feminine tone of Japanese, and Hu Wenshu next to him looks much better in the comparison of Du Kang.

Or if he hadn't voluntarily revealed his identity, Hu Wenshu's Japanese would sound no different from that of an authentic Tokyoite.

"It's not like my mom is looking at you and going abroad, thinking about letting me go out too." Hu Wenshu said this, explaining the reason for his name change, "My mother went to the Taoist temple and found a Taoist priest to calculate a hexagram, saying that my name is Akita, and it is appropriate to go to Japan to study, and if you want to study in the UK, you need to change your name." ”

Speaking of this, Du Kang smiled understandingly. Then he translated the word "Akita" into Japanese and told it to Ran and Conan next to him.

"So, I'm called Hu Wenshu now." Hu Wenshu said this, not minding Du Kang making jokes about his name.

"But why is it called Manjushri?" Du Kang asked in Japanese.

"People tell the fortune teller, this name is called, and you can get three doctorates." Hu Wenshu said, "Damn, a Taoist priest, give me a name called Manjushri." It is really full of philosophical meaning, shining with the brilliance of dialectics. ”

"Could it be that the true Buddha is the Tao. In other words, it was really Lao Tzu who sent a letter to Guguan, arrived in ancient India, and enlightened the Buddha. Hu Wenshu is like the usual Du Kang, and he is not serious, "Otherwise, the timelines of the lives of the two people are almost next to each other." ”

"By the way, what's this young lady's name?" Du Kang asked, interrupting Hu Wenshu's self-satisfaction and focusing only on the core goal.

“Mary。 I came across it in the UK. I originally thought it was Chinese, not only did I speak Mandarin well, but I also spoke Mandarin more authentically than I did. Hu Wenshu said.

"Tongjiang fog painting." The woman said her name in authentic Mandarin, and her voice was very good. Then he introduced his name in Japanese to Conan and Ran.

"Tongjiang fog painting?" Conan whispered the woman's name, thoughtful.

"By the way, what were you talking about?" Hu Wenshu looked familiar.

"Magician. Speaking of, Which magician do you like? Akita, E, Manjushri. ”

"It's good that you're comfortable." Hu Wenshu said this, and then turned out an indecent look, "If you talk about magicians, I like Dawn." ”
