Chapter 177: Acquaintances

"Wait! Let me go up! I came here in a hurry, but I didn't miss the time! And that's only the top 10 limit, and the newspapers don't say anything about it! You've rejected me like this, aren't you afraid that I'll go back and sue you for fraud in this event? ”

"Sir, please calm down! We were only commissioned, and we didn't study the newspaper ads! I also went to the newspaper office and made a mistake! Maybe Mr. Furukawa had a problem communicating with the newspaper, but we received an order to sail when the ten customers were full, so don't worry! How about I go and ask for advice? ”

Just as Conan was about to ask Yuichi on the side about the interesting case he was talking about, suddenly there was a loud noise from under the ship, and then a man with glasses carrying a heavy suitcase walked in out of the cabin panting.

"It's excessive! Wait! I'm going to complain about you! ”

The man with glasses, who still couldn't breathe, was carrying his luggage while registering his information with the laughter of the service staff on the side. Judging by the circumstances, he was finally allowed to get on board. For this person, Conan supported him, after all, this Mr. Furukawa did not explain in the newspaper that it was limited to ten people, but now he suddenly said the news from the mouth of the waiter, and he didn't react just now, and now it's a little strange to think about it!

Just when Conan was thinking to himself, Officer Samezaki, who was reminiscing about his old days with Mori Kogoro, suddenly stopped the man with glasses who was about to go back to his room under the guidance of the waiter.

"This gentleman! Please stay! Have we met somewhere? How do I always feel familiar with you? ”

"Huh? Didn't you? I don't know you! Maybe you've mistaken someone! ”

In the face of Officer Samezaki's questioning, the glasses man named Minoru Ebia immediately denied it, but Yuichi, who was observing him from the sidelines, clearly saw the weakness of his heart when he answered, and this Minoru Ebia may not be easy to participate in this event!

After leading Ebina Minoru to his room, after smiling embarrassedly at Mori Kogoro and the others standing in front of the service desk, the waiter led them to their room, and the waiter laughed and joked in order to liven up the atmosphere.

"With you old detectives and detectives, you don't have to worry about anything on the ship, after all, we have one detective and two detectives!"

"Huh? A detective? Two detectives? ”

Mori Kogoro, who heard the waiter say this, suddenly became puzzled, and after looking at Officer Samezaki and Yuichi behind him again, he couldn't help but ask.

"Are you sure it's not a detective and two detectives?"

"Huh? If Mr. Maori has to say that he is a criminal policeman, then he is right! But I still think you're more famous as a detective! ”

"Oh? And what about the other detective? Can you describe it to us? ”

Conan, who heard the waiter's answer, was also immediately curious, and after adjusting the expression on his face, he asked curiously.

"Ahh What a detective! Sixteen or seventeen years old, very young! A Kansai accent, a little dark complexion! It doesn't feel like it at all! ”

"Haha! Is it? Wait, be sure to visit this brother! ”

After listening to the waiter's introduction, Conan, who immediately understood who the detective was, turned around and exchanged glances with Youichi and responded with a cute face.

In this way, under the deliberate activity of the waiter, the crowd who was originally a little embarrassed by Ebi's troubles finally came to the room where they lived.

“I'm a king of the orld!”

After putting all the luggage away, Xiaolan, who came to the bow of the passenger ship, looked at the vast sea in front of her and couldn't help but roar loudly, although her Jack was not even her leg high on the side, but this did not prevent her from the joy of traveling with the person she liked. She's been wanting to try this for a long time, and she doesn't know if Shinichi can feel her affection.

It's a pity that for a family like the Kudo family, which has a fairly small amount of emotional intelligence allocated in their heads, this hope can only be disappointed, looking at Xiaolan with a happy face. Conan on the side couldn't help but complain.

"Hey, hey, hey! Xiaolan! You are too poisonous in the Titanic, right? What if the ship sank as well? Stop crow's mouth! ”

"Huh? Conan! ”

"Huh? What's wrong? Sister Xiaolan? ”

"You're a big idiot!"

"Huh?"

Just when Conan was depressed why Xiaolan suddenly changed his face, a fat uncle with a gentleman's beard suddenly laughed.

"The sea dyed red by the sunset, the flags fluttering in the wind, in the face of such a beautiful scenery, it is no wonder that this young lady has such a cry! I actually think the sea is great! It's a pleasure to meet a like-minded person like Miss! ”

"Oh? Is it? Hahaha! I'm excited to meet you too! Indeed, the sea is wonderful! It makes people forget all the unsatisfactory ......"

"Huh! Oh, yes! The sea can indeed hide everything, painful memories, uneasy futures, and even ...... Corpse! ”

"Corpses?"

"Ahh I'm sorry! My father died at sea, so I ......"

"Nope! It's okay! Instead, we're going to say we're sorry and bring up your sadness! I'm sorry, sister! ”

"Haha! No apologies! I've seen it! By the way, my name is Nagisa Isobei! Nice to meet you! ”

"Hey, hey! Nothing! My name is Maoliran! Nice to meet you too! ”

"Maori? A very interesting surname! We should really be grateful to Mr. Furukawa for hosting this event, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have known each other! ”

"Mr. Furukawa? I know who he is! ”

"Huh? Are you sure? Hearing Xiaolan's words, Nagisa Isobei and Takai Dingxiong immediately came over and asked curiously.

"It's the uncle over there! He accidentally dropped his seal on the ground at the service desk just now, and when I picked it up for him, I saw the word Furukawa engraved on it! It can be seen that the person holding that seal is Mr. Furukawa! I guess he's going to surprise everyone by revealing his true face at dinner! ”

"So Sister Xiaolan just said thank you to him?"

"Yes!"

"Strange! I asked the man's name, and he said his surname was Kameda. ”

"Then he must be lying!" Xiaolan, who explained to Conan, couldn't help but laugh when she heard the confused muttering of Isobei Nagisa on the side.

"Really? Mr. Furukawa had such a good sense of humor, and I waited for a while for dinner when he surprised us! Well, dinner should almost be ready! The sea breeze is also strong! Let's go back to the cabin! ”

After one last glance at the bald man who was chatting with an emaciated man, Nagisa turned and walked towards the cabin.

Conan's face was contemplative, looking at Nagisa Isobe and Tadao Whalei who were leaving, as well as Mr. Furukawa, who was chatting with his hidden identity, and the strange emaciated man who showed him the key.

He hadn't had time to ask Yuichi about the so-called interesting case, but Conan, who had encountered a series of strange things since he got on the ship, already felt that there was a pair of terrible big hands manipulating all this behind the scenes, was that Kameda really the organizer of this event, Mr. Furukawa? So what is the significance of his hosting this event?
