"So, you came to the boat because of the commission, not because you saw the quiz?"

When Mauriran heard him, he didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or sigh.

No wonder, no wonder I couldn't see the shadow of Kazuha, it turned out that he didn't know where their trip was when he got on the boat.

Oh, not exactly. Even if he knew that they were going to see dolphins, Hattori might not have the nerve to call Kazuha......

"Yes, I received a letter a few days ago, with 100,000 yen in it, asking me to go to Ogasawara to handle the case, the sender's name is Furukawa Dai, there is no mailing address, and the banknotes are all old banknotes." I don't know how Mao Lilan is commenting on his slim relationship, Hattori Heiji patted his head with a headache, "I have never handled a case because of money, and I don't want to accept remuneration." Originally, I wanted to say that if it didn't work, I would ask a friend in Tokyo to return it, but when I checked it, I found that the value of these out-of-print banknotes seems to be more than the ...... on the denomination."

"Blocked all your retreats." Tang Ze nodded and glanced at the people who stayed in the restaurant, "In this way, you can only follow the method he designed for you, obediently come to the scene, accept the commission, or return the remuneration directly." He's a master. ”

"Alas......" Hattori Heiji sighed depressedly, "It's not a high school detective who hasn't accepted a commission to spend money, why do you have to force me to come over in this way?" ”

"Maybe it's because your client is from Kansai, if you're wise, he's been doing quite well lately, and he probably hasn't had a chance to pay attention to this form of entrustment." Tang Ze said euphemistically.

That's great, he's been busy like a spinning top lately, and he's had to start preparing a reply template for rejecting the commission.

This case of the Nagamen family really attracted a wave of popularity to him, and he caught up with Amuro Toru to forge ahead in the sake brewery, and he was busy with his feet not touching the ground.

“…… Why do you feel so uncomfortable when you say that? Remembering that guy's face in Yokohama, Hattori snorted, "Anyway, I'm not going to accept the commission for payment, I got on the ship to return the payment." The letter said that as soon as I showed the banknotes to the people in the port, they would let me get on a boat. ”

"You didn't even think to contact us when you came to Tokyo." Mao Lilan pursed her lips, "If you mention contacting us, then we can transfer it on our behalf, and you don't need to run up by yourself." ”

"I didn't expect this client to be so mysterious, I originally said that he could get off the ship after handing over the things, who knew that even the staff had never seen him in person." Hattori shook his head helplessly.

"Anyway, it's a good coincidence that we met on the same ship." Moriran smiled and said, "It's better to think of it as a group trip." ”

It just so happened that the purpose of their trip was to observe Tang Ze's attitude towards travel, and whether his restriction order would be triggered on the cruise ship, and Tang Ze should be happier if he had a friend like Hattori Heiji.

"yes, maybe it's like like things, detectives are inevitably attracted to puzzles, and then they will meet in various places." As he spoke, he winked his eyes at Conan, "yes, little brother Conan?" ”

"Well, that's what makes stand-ins attract each other." Tang Ze put down the orange juice that he had drunk and said coldly.

"What?" Hattori, who didn't understand the word, was at a loss.

That is, you and Conan are the same type of stand-in...... That's right, if you say that they are stand-ins, it doesn't seem like a big problem?

"So, this is another detective?" Before Tang Ze could open his mouth to explain, Nagisa Isobei, who looked a little gorgeous, had already leaned over, bent down and gently put it on Hattori Heiji's shoulder, "Quite young, it's not easy." ”

"Thanks for the compliment!" was praised by the beautiful sister.,Hattori Heiji is still very useful.,Immediately showed a smile that didn't charge money.。

"What about Ye Caisan, I just saw them running over angrily. Still haven't found it yet? Nagisa returned with a soft smile and quickly brought the topic to what she wanted to ask.

"I haven't heard the news yet...... Moriran thought, glancing in the direction of the hallway with some concern.

With the skills of Dad and Sharkizaki, there will be no problems on the ship, but the scale of this ship is not very large, and there is no news about why it has been gone for so long......

"Ye Caisan, isn't he the organizer of this event?" Tang Ze, who was turning the empty cup, said casually, "He is so mysterious and secretive, and he still engages in this kind of activity, he definitely doesn't want to show his face easily." ”

“…… Yes? But the organizer of the event is Mr. Furukawa. Maolilan was stunned for two seconds and retorted.

"A simple play on words, turning their names around, isn't it the same? Maybe Uncle Maori has seen through this, so he's discussing this matter with Mr. Samezaki. Tang Ze pulled casually, and Yu Guang paid attention to Whale Well Dingxiong and Xie Jiang Shijiu, who had quietly left, and began to look for a suitable time to leave.

Such a hard arrangement, in order to see these guys break the defense, if you can't witness it with your own eyes, it would be a pity.

"Turn around, ......" Hearing Tang Ze's prompt, Hattori Heiji and Conan quickly simulated the transformation of the Chinese characters of these two names in their minds, and soon they were in unison, "Ah! "Yes.

In fact, this riddle is placed in Chinese, which is a very simple word puzzle, and among the various riddles that engage in glyphs, it is considered a relatively simple kind.

The Chinese who have been baptized by the Tianlin egg in Chuzhong all day are indeed incomprehensible.

However, unlike Chinese, Japanese does not directly use kanji to express the sound, and even if they hear a name, even if they write a kana, it is difficult to determine what kind of kanji it corresponds to by ear alone.

This is the reason why Conan and the others did not determine until the end that Furukawa Dai had turned ninety degrees and changed the order of Ye Caisan.

Don't mention it, Conan has played a lot of tricks with this kind of kana kanji. Isn't that what Asai Narumi is!

Thinking of Asai Narumi, Tang Ze turned his head, looked at the two detectives who were excited again, and reminded kindly: "Otherwise, let's go and find it." If this Ye Caisan is the planner of the entire event, with a deliberate calculation or not, Uncle Maori may still not be able to handle it? ”

————

“…… The idea of a plan was really unexpected. Slowly chopping the last piece of chicken into his mouth, Belmode let out a hoarse laugh, "I now have a little faith that you do have what it takes Rum's place." ”

She thought that Bourbon, who had torn off the camouflage and exposed more of his true colors in the organization, would continue to do the current rhythm and be a more arrogant guy, but sure enough, Bourbon, who is known for his intelligence and intelligence ability, is not such a reckless man.

It's not like Ireland......

Forget it, even if they are all whiskeys, their personalities and behavior patterns are very different, so it's better not to put them together.

It's just that Bourbon chose to continue to let Kumel stand in front of the stage, which still surprised her somewhat.

Kummer's status in the organization would have risen gradually.

As the status of Akechigo gradually rises, from a new young man to a famous detective who is also in the sky, the role of the organization's experiments in Kumel is gradually becoming apparent.

Before the age of 10, he didn't show any difference from other children, maybe because of the upheaval of life, he has a lot of resilience that children of the same age don't have, but that's all.

After the age of 10, although the results of Kumail's experiments were delayed until this year, it is undeniable that he did possess many abilities that he should not have learned.

His disguise is skillful and free, his sniping state is sophisticated and precise, and even in dealing with people and speculating on people's hearts, he shows an old spicy that is completely inconsistent with his age.

It's not like a child who hasn't reached adulthood, but like an old bird who has been on the edge of human nature for many years.

As long as Kumel continues to show his strength, the distillery will never give up on him, so as long as Kumel is in front, many of the plans that Bourbon is doing behind the scenes can naturally be blurred and rationalized.

This is certainly a good solution, and it is the one that Belmode prefers to choose, and the change of people from Bourbon to Kumel has made the workplace experience much better for her.

It's just that Bourbon, who has always been in conflict with Kumail, can have such a pattern, but she underestimates these young generations.

"Isn't it surprising? Yes, everyone thinks that Kumel and I have a bad relationship, and we are in a state where we may kill each other at any time. Amuro picked up the napkin, wiped the water droplets on his hands, and said in a casual manner, "I don't hate Kumail, I think the two of us don't get along, it's completely Gin's prejudice." ”

"It's also true that the whole organization of you two is about to hear about it." Belmode was noncommittal about the hypocritical statement.

"It can't be called discord, I prefer to call it ...... Establish a subordinate relationship. The neatly trimmed nails ran across the napkin, and Amuro looked at the imprinted napkin and smiled, "If you can't decide who is the first wolf to break into someone else's territory, you're going to mess up." ”

Believe it or not, this is what Amuro prepares for the next move.

In the eyes of the organization, Tang Ze will continue to play himself for a year, and Bourbon, as a watcher and supervisor, also needs to continue to be his guardian and maintain long-term contact with him.

It's been a few months since they were in trouble, and if they still maintained a-for-tat contradiction, with the ability of the two of them to be killed or injured, it would be a bit too much to say.

To put it mildly, when Shuichi Akai hadn't run yet, he and Ley were able to cause a lot of damage to each other, and it was suspicious to fake a fight with Kumel for too long.

So, it's almost time to move on to the second stage.

That is, Bourbon discovered Kummer's irreplaceability for the organization, so he simply used many means to tame Kumel and establish a superior-subordinate relationship just like Rum subdued his subordinates.

The methods are more sophisticated, the control is more thorough, and there is no dependence on the organization's drugs or other methods of violence.

In this way, he can be regarded as having the qualifications to speak out to replace Rum.

"You do, indeed, very means." Belmode, who also understood this, pulled the corners of his mouth without emotion.

So, is she now also a prey for Bourbon's intention to control and exploit?

We'll see.

However, I have to admit that her accomplice did it even better than she imagined, and he almost used his other lethal tricks to protect the cool guys, so that even if Bourbon stayed downstairs with them, after so long, he didn't have any special opinion about this family.

Bourbon, worthy of Bourbon, Kumail, worthy of Kumail.

"Two guests, dessert has been delivered." At this moment, when the atmosphere was slightly condensed, the waiter of the restaurant pushed the food cart and walked to their table.

Amuro glanced sideways, glanced at the wine bottles and ingredients on the dining car, and raised an eyebrow.

The waiter started the barbecue device on the dining car on the spot, processed the cut fruits and vegetables, and introduced the ingredients to be used.

As the wine is poured into the hot frying pan, a red and blue flame rises, and the aroma of alcohol and fruit spreads.

"Wineburning." Belmode watched the waiter methodically operate and said meaningfully, "A cooking method that ignites the alcohol in the drink and allows the ingredients to absorb the flavor...... I ordered it specifically, I don't know if you like it or not. ”

Amuro squinted as he watched the waiter alternate with different wines and handle the ingredients in the pot.

In the course of his conversations, Belmode was accustomed to using something very symbolic, and he was accustomed to it.

It's no wonder that Donza would make the judgment that she would love those "scripts" - it does seem that she likes some of the types of exaggerated plays.

Belmode, who was sitting across from him, couldn't hear his belly and was still talking about cooking to himself: "Isn't it interesting that the alcohol leaves no trace as the flames burn, but it can give everything in it a mellow aroma?" It's like ......"

With the description in her mouth, her eyes were hazy and restrictive, and she looked at the dish as if she were looking at someone she liked, and her fingertips were clasped tightly on the back of her hand.

Yes, none of them can escape the fate of being tainted with the smell.

"Like an organization?" Amuro finished her unfinished words, and the expression on his face as he looked at the dishes had become playful and sinister.

With the heat provided by the sake, it is impossible to burn all the alcohol in the dish.

Anyone who walks through will leave traces, and it is too beautiful to think about it if you want to use a fire to erase the evidence of your own existence, leaving only dark legends.

"The expression is horrible, Bourbon. Remember something? Belmode, who had regained a little initiative, straightened the broken hair on his cheeks and re-appeared with a charming and gentle smile.

"I thought about my next job." Amuro looked at the plate placed in front of him by the waiter, and naturally replied, "Now that we've talked about it, I think we can think about some more specific work in the future." What do you think? ”

Tsk, he refuses to back down even a step, it's really a difficult man.

Belmode raised his eyebrows, which had been quietly outlined by the pencil, and gently raised his glass to the after-dinner wine that the waiter had placed on the table.

"Whatever the guest wants."

————

When Tang Ze and the others followed the smell of smoke and looked for the police and detectives who had not returned for a long time, two middle-aged people were standing on the A shift outside the ship, exchanging their inspection results.

"There was no one in the room, and room 1 was locked, but it was empty."

"Well, we've also checked the other guest rooms, and no one else is there except for Teruyoshi Kameda, who is resting in the room."

"Damn, is his sense of smell so keen, he heard the slightest rumor and fled immediately?"

"How do you escape, this is a ship that has sailed into the sea...... I also checked the life-saving equipment and there was no sign of the lifeboat being moved. ”

"You mean, he's still on the ship......?" Mori Kogoro stopped pacing back and forth and looked at Shimaharu Samezaki with a serious face.

"I think it's because of today's special date that he made that choice." Shimaharu Sharkizaki slapped the handrail of the deck unwillingly, gritted his teeth and said, "He just knows that today is the deadline, so he's playing with us......"

Except for the police and detectives who are still paying attention to the case, who can notice that Furukawa Dai, the pseudonym commonly used by Ye Caisan himself?

This is a provocation above board......

Thinking that he was likely to miss the answer he had been searching for all his life, Shimaharu Misaki clenched his fists in anger.

Time went by, and there wasn't much left for him.

In the last few hours, he really had time to ......

"Don't give up, Sharkzaki Police, Ye Caisan's wanted warrant has expired, but his three gangs haven't. Twenty years have passed, but I don't think they can really disappear into the vast sea of people. Mori Kogoro patted him on the shoulder and encouraged.

"So, do you need our help?" Hattori Heiji took the initiative to inquire, "Although this ship is not very large, after all, it is also a luxury cruise ship with a complex structure. He may be hiding somewhere else, with only two people, and it will be difficult to find his place. ”

“…… Okay, too. Sharkizaki Shimaji looked at them, his eyes flickered for a moment, sighed, and took out his wallet, "You haven't seen Ye Caisan's appearance, and it is very likely that he has done a good job of disguise...... This is the only photo we have of what we think is his real face. ”

There was a noticeable crease in the photograph he pulled out, the whole photograph was yellowed and wrinkled, and the corners were frizzy, and it was obvious that it was often taken out and looked at repeatedly.

Is the old detective's heart knot......

Thinking of Tang Ze's description, Hattori Heiji sighed secretly in his heart.
