Chapter 176: Passengers

"Wow! It's the same as a hotel! It's nice to take this to Ogasawara! Now that I think about it, I decided to participate in this event, and it was a wise choice! Wowha! ”

Completely ignoring Conan's contemptuous eyes on the side, Maori Kogoro walked into the passenger ship with Xiaolan and Conan with his luggage.

"Are the three of you a family?" The counter attendant who saw them come in immediately greeted them with a smile on his face.

"Hmmm! Oh, yes! This is my daughter and the little ghost who lives at my house for nothing! ”

Mori Kogoro, who thought he was the hero of this trip, coughed dryly, and immediately approached the waiter in high spirits and introduced him.

"Haha! Is it? Then I'll arrange you to a double room on the 10th! ”

"Twin room? Good! Please lead the way! Hearing the waiter's arrangement, Maori Kogoro didn't see his daughter's face suddenly turning red at all, and after groping his chin, he nodded happily and agreed.

Xiaolan, who has no choice about this, can only find a topic to divert her embarrassment.

"Where is Mr. Furukawa, who is holding this event? I would like to thank him for his hospitality, and if it weren't for his generosity, we wouldn't have been able to ride such a luxurious boat for free. ”

The waiter who heard Xiaolan's question was also a little embarrassed, scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled and slowly explained.

"Actually, we haven't seen him yet! The boat was chartered and passengers were selected by telephone, and the cost of the charter was remitted to the bank. I guess he's waiting for you at Ogasawara, right? ”

"Oh? Is that so? ”

"Haha! I guessed too, okay! According to the boarding regulations, can you please register your name now? ”

"Oh, okay! My name is Maoliran! ”

"Edogawa Conan!"

"My name is Kogoro Mori, and I'm ......"

"The former Metropolitan Police Department searched a criminal policeman, and now he is a detective who can make all the bad guys fearful! I don't know if I'm right? Maori dude? ”

"Huh? Officer Ishizaki? ”

Hearing someone answer, and revealing his old background, Maori Kogoro looked back at the source of the voice with some surprise, and a familiar face who hadn't seen him for twenty years appeared in front of him.

"Hahaha! Don't call me Officer Ishizaki! I'm no more, I retired two years ago, and now I'm just a bad old man! ”

"Huh? Is that so? Life is still going by! ”

"Yes! Just heard this little beauty say that she is Maolilan? That's that cute girl from the Maori brother? I didn't expect to grow so big in a blink of an eye! By the way, what about your beautiful wife? I won't be separating from you, will I? ”

"Hahaha! That's right! Officer Samezaki, you're still as discerning as ever! By the way, how did you get here? ”

Maori Kogoro, who was ready to be proud when he heard Xiaolan being praised, immediately lost the desire to continue the topic after hearing this scar uncovering inquiry, and asked left and right.

"Oh! Me? I just want to see the sea, and I want to take a break! Brother Maori, have you forgotten that today is a special day? ”

"A special day?"

"Hahaha! You quit your job ten years ago, and it is only natural that you forget about it! ”

Seeing Mori Kogoro's puzzled expression, Officer Samezaki laughed and lightly revealed the topic. However, at this moment, a hand suddenly put on Officer Samezaki's shoulder, and Mori Kogoro, who was interrupted from chatting, immediately locked their eyes on this uninvited guest who suddenly appeared.

However, the strange man, who had already lost his head, did not explain anything to them, but took out a strange cylindrical object from his trouser pocket and held it up to them.

"Huh? Are you deaf and dumb? ”

"What's the matter? Do you need help? ”

"Nope! Nothing! Excuse me! Recognize the wrong person! ”

When they heard the puzzled questions from Mori Kogoro and Officer Samezaki, the bald weirdo who they had thought was deaf and mute suddenly apologized. Then he hurriedly stuffed the cylindrical thing in his hand back into his trouser pocket.

However, he made a mistake in his busyness, and the strange cylindrical thing was not stuffed back by him, but bounced out of his trouser pocket, and bounced to Xiaolan's feet.

Just when the man who heard this voice suddenly wanted to bend down to pick up this thing in a panic, the kind Xiaolan had already bent down to pick it up for him.

"Huh? Seal? Yes? Thank you! ”

Xiaolan, who was chatting about the cylinder, immediately discovered what this strange thing was, but then she saw something, and she suddenly thanked the man who was still nervous.

"Huh? Xiaolan? Why do you suddenly want to thank him? ”

"Do you want to care? This is my secret with this Uncle Shee, right? ”

"Ah...... Ha...... Well! Yes! Our secret! ”

Just when the man took the seal that Xiaolan had returned and mysteriously wanted to turn away, suddenly a palm slapped on his shoulder from behind him.

"Hey! Buddy! I've been waiting for you for a long time! ”

And the man who was originally full of doubts turned around and saw the picture of the key in the hand of the person who greeted him, but suddenly grinned.

"Hahaha! That's right! After so many years, I want to kill you too! My brother! How have you been in the last few years? ”

"What else can I do? That's ......."

Just when this strange man was chatting with the strange key man who took the initiative to talk to him, after registering the specific information of Maori Kogoro and several people, the waiter was ready to take them to the room!

At this moment, another waiter who had been under the ramp of the passenger ship to verify the answer suddenly ran in.

"That's enough for 10 people! We're ready to sail! ”

"Huh? Sail? Have you forgotten the old man who arrived first? Didn't he say that something had forgotten about it, and it still hasn't come back? ”

After hearing the waiter who verified the answer saying that he was going to leave, the waiter who was originally going to take Maori Kogoro and them to the room immediately asked with a panicked face.

"Izumo! You're careless! The old man had already arrived, and he had said he was going to take a nap before dinner, so we told us not to disturb him! ”

"Huh? Is that so? But I ...... clearly."

"Alright, alright, anyway, the quota is full, you quickly inform the captain to start the boat, and I will call the others back!"

"Got it!"

"Full of seats? Didn't I just see that we only registered ten people after checking in! After removing this little ghost from me, there should be one more passenger on board! Why are you about to go? Conan, who heard the conversation between the two waiters, was bored and couldn't help but speculate, but his speculation immediately summoned the person he least wanted to see.

"Huh? Sure enough, Conan, did you guess that answer came in? I knew that this kind of little problem would not be difficult for my Maori uncle! ”

"That's it! Hahaha! It's not me Maori Kogoro who blows ......"

Ignoring the laughter of Kogoro Mori on the side, Conan, who heard the familiar voice, suddenly sighed.

"Yo! Isn't this our eating and drinking for nothing, left-behind children Edogawa Conan? Hahaha! Isn't it a surprise that I'm alone? ”
