Chapter Seventy-Five: Scenery on the Boat
A week later, in the setting sun, the sparkling sea level, and the cool sea breeze blowing in front of you, a luxurious ferry stirred up layers of waves, and on the deck, Ogata in a white shirt and blue jeans leaned against the railing, looking up at the sky dyed by the red sun.
The sky was wide, the wind was blowing in his ears, listening to the rhythmic sound of the waves crashing against the hull of the boat, and gazing at the magnificent scene of nature, Ogata was completely immersed in the process of enjoyment.
At this time, there is no hustle and bustle, no troubles, no oppression of reality, no ugly human nature, and some are comfortable and free that can only be felt when you are there.
"Cousin, it's beautiful." Xiaolan, wearing a long beach dress, approached him with a smile, looked at Ogata with a red face under the sun, and asked happily.
Ogata nodded, stretched, unbuttoned a shirt close to his neck, and looked around at the endless view of the sea: "It's beautiful." β
"yes, I really want to stay in this beautiful place all the time." Ran looked at Ogata's side face with deep understanding, lying on the railing of the deck. Today's cousin rarely speaks, standing here on deck all the time admiring the view, and apparently he likes the sea level.
Ogata turned his head and looked at Ran, "I have to thank Uncle Maori for seeing such a beautiful scenery." The thought of getting on this no-ferry by accident, thanks to Mori Kogoro's confusion, was amused.
It turns out that Ogata and the Mori family were on vacation and missed the last boat on an island, but luckily they were able to catch a ferry back to Tokyo on what appeared to be a wealthy family. Otherwise, they will spend the night on the island and will not be able to return until the next day.
Xiaolan smiled: "Dad is really, although he is a detective, he is always so confused." β
The protagonist who was discussed by the two, Kogoro, who called himself a detective, lay on a beach chair, bathed in the red sun, and fell asleep alone.
"By the way, what about Conan?" Ogata asked softly as he wondered if the imp hadn't followed.
Lan pointed not far away, on the other side of the deck, at the railing, facing the glow of the setting sun, a woman in a light blue dress was quietly admiring the sea level, and Conan was standing next to her.
The first time Ogata saw the woman, he judged a lot of things. Anger, as a forensic doctor with a keen sense of smell and can analyze yin and yang, smelled the faint anger wafting from her body, which means that in the near future, there will be a bad omen on her body.
And the dress she wore was a valuable international brand, apparently with a clear relationship with the owner of the ferry. When he got on the ship just now, he was thinking that this ferry should be maintained by a certain consortium, otherwise ordinary rich people can't afford to support it.
The woman's expression was a little sad, Ogata had studied some of the behaviors of people, and when he saw the sea, if it was the designated habit of ordinary people, he looked around, and finally focused his eyes on the place where the movement was greatest.
And she kept looking at the sea level, and then looked up at the sunset above her head, which seemed to be looking at the sea, but in fact she was thinking about it with a heavy heart.
"Let's go and have a look, Lan." Ogata said to Ran, and walked straight over.
Xiaolan nodded, listened to Ogata's words, and slowly followed.
When he got closer, Ogata saw that the woman's face was a little melancholy, and Conan leaned over to him and whispered to him, "She was in tears just now." β
"Let your sister Xiaolan comfort her." In this situation, Ogata understands that it is better for him not to speak out, because he is a man, and it will feel strange and abrupt to comfort a stranger of the opposite sex.
Conan glanced at Ogata, "It's troublesome. β
Ogata reached out his hand, rubbed his head, and whispered, "It doesn't matter if you're Shinichi or Conan, you're all little guys." Go ahead and talk about it. β
Xiaolan, who had just walked over, had not yet figured out the situation, and Conan quietly repeated what he had just said to Ogata.
Xiaolan is a good-hearted girl, just as Ogata thought, she walked up to the woman in the dress and asked softly, "Miss, are you okay?" β
The woman came to her senses, and then there were other people on the deck, she saw Xiaolan's expression for a moment, and then swept away the melancholy on her face, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I just remembered my parents who died in a car accident last year." β
As she spoke, the woman looked up at the sky: "I really want them to see me in my dress today." β
Xiaolan was a little curious about the meaning of this sentence, and Conan and Ogata on the side obviously understood it relatively quickly and made a plan in their hearts.
At this time, a young man in a suit walked over: "Xia Jiang, why are you here?" β
When the woman named Xia Jiang saw him, she looked very happy, grabbed his arm, and introduced to Xiaolan and the others: "This is my fiancΓ© Xiao Wu, today is actually our big day." β
Ran looked surprised, and Ogata gave a polite smile to her blessed look.
As she spoke, she began to explain the reason to everyone. It turned out that this no ferry was the property of the Qiben family, and Xia Jiang, a girl who looked very temperamental standing in front of them, was the young lady of the Qiben family.
They had just completed their wedding from the island where the Qiben family had worshiped their ancestors for generations, and seeing the intimate appearance of the two of them snuggling up to each other, Xiaolan showed envious eyes.
While a few people were chatting, an old man with gray hair, his eyebrows furrowed, and his old face showed an unhappy look, pointing to Ogata, who was an outsider, and reprimanded a middle-aged man with a bloated body beside him: "Bastard, haven't you already explained, this is the ship of our Qiben family, don't let outsiders come up?" β
"I'm sorry, Dad." The middle-aged man looked a little scared and replied nervously.
The old man's temper looked very bad, and Xia Jiang hurriedly stood between Xiaolan and Ogata with a wry smile: "This is my grandfather and the head of the Qimoto family, and he was very unstable when he started to fall in love in the middle of the wedding. β
"Yes, since eating my cooking." At this time, another middle-aged man on the boat walked over with a kind smile on his face.
Seeing Xia Jiang affectionately call him uncle, he figured out his identity.
Next, in front of Ogata, a drama of intrigue between large families was staged. The wedding held around Xia Jiang and Xiao Wu, who looked restrained, appeared one by one family members with different faces.
Don't get involved in other people's affairs, instead of studying how these people quarrel, Ogata should enjoy the last scenery before sunset.
Turning around, lying on the railing and looking at the calm sea, I finally understood that the melancholy that this Xia Jiang revealed when looking at the beautiful scenery was because of the pain hidden in being born in such a big family.
"There will be bad things, and they will be born." Ogata sighed, and sure enough, Xia Jiang's anger was not accidental.
