Chapter One Hundred and Four
"Huh?" In the Polo Cafe, Maolilan looked at the extra ticket in his hand, "Is there one left?" โ
"yes - everyone seems to have something going on lately, I've asked a few friends, and I still have two invitations left."
On the other side, the short-haired girl bit the straw of the juice and said dejectedly, "I came here today to invite Mr. Amuro and Miss Xiaozi to go together, but Miss Xiaozi said that she made an appointment to have dinner with her brother tomorrow, so there is still one left." โ
Maolilan looked at the heavy envelope in his hand, which was outlined with gilded patterns, and the pattern of flowers and waves was decorated with the words in the middle: symphony horn.
"There's no way, if you can't find anyone else, you can only invalidate this invitation...... This cake is so delicious, is it a new invention made by Mr. Amuro? I'm going to have another one! Sonoko Suzuki, who was still sighing just now, quickly shifted her attention, and she raised her head and shouted not far away, "Miss Xiaozi! Could you please add me another piece of this cake? โ
"Got it." Placing the lemonade on the tray in front of the guest, Azusa Enomoto smiled, "This cake is delicious, isn't it?" This is a new model that Mr. Amuro just worked on yesterday. โ
"In that case, give me a copy too." A slightly muffled male voice came from the side.
"Okay, I'll be right away."
Attracted by the conversation here, Sonoko Suzuki put down the drink in her hand, and when she saw the face of the person who was speaking, her eyes lit up, and she stood up suddenly, startling Conan Edogawa, who was drinking iced coffee next to her.
What is this guy doing......
He bent his half-moon eyes and watched the other party rush to the next table in a hurry.
"Mr. Okiya!"
Hearing this, the pink-haired man who had long noticed Suzuki Sonoko reached out and pushed his glasses and smiled, "It's been a long time, Miss Sonoko." โ
"Long time no see! Is Mr. Okiya free for the past two days? After receiving an affirmative reply, Sonoko Suzuki smiled even more, "Great! Mr. Okiya must accept it, this cruise is said to have a circus performance, and it is best to take a short trip on the cruise! And ......"
As if afraid of rejection, the girl mysteriously leaned over and said in a low voice, "The Ikekawa chaebol is the biggest sponsor of this cruise ship, and the symphony will definitely be present when it sails for the first time." โ
When she said the last sentence, she also blinked, biting the word 'he' a little harder.
Okiya made a move.
He felt that the other party looked at him, just like the way Mao Liran looked at the two of them after knowing the superficial relationship between Amuro and Ikekawa Na.
I didn't expect Suzuki Sonoko to have such a misunderstanding in the previous link, but the man still bowed his head slightly and took the invitation, "Thank you, Miss Sonoko." โ
Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand again and again, and when she returned to her booth, she immediately made a gesture of "plan pass" to the handkerchief, "Great! Not only did I send out the last invitation, but I was able to let the couple meet them, worthy of my garden-"
No, it should be two pairs......
On the other side, after listening to the conversation between the two, Mao Lilan almost coughed up the juice in his mouth.
Is the combination of three people a pair or a pair......
"Sister Xiaolan, are you okay?" Conan Edogawa hurriedly took the lemonade next to him to the other party, and finally made her stop coughing.
"It's okay...... long-haired girl whispered as she covered her mouth.
Please, what did Mr. Akai let Xiaolan see, why did she have this expression when she mentioned Ikekawa Na recently.
The little detective's suspicious gaze fell on the man, and he quickly moved away.
Complex adults.
The corners of his eyes twitched, and he was about to ask Okiya why the organization would invest in that kind of cruise ship, when he felt his phone vibrate twice.
Looking at the name displayed on the interface, his expression became serious, jumped off the table in a few steps, and ran to the door of Poirot's cafรฉ to answer the phone.
"Kudo." As soon as it was connected, a cold female voice came from the opposite side.
"Gray Plains, what's wrong?" Ash Hara rarely called, and Edogawa Conan subconsciously thought it was some emergency.
"No, it's just ......"
"Ah, has Conan already picked it up?"
Ashbara's voice was interrupted by another immature child's voice, Ayumi Yoshida walked over, and happily took the phone after getting the agreement, "Conan, my phone is out of battery, so I asked Ashbara to help call, the doctor is going to play a newly invented game with us at night, do you want to play together?" โ
It turned out to be this thing, and I said how could this guy suddenly call.
Knowing that it wasn't an emergency, Conan Edogawa breathed a sigh of relief, and after accepting the invitation to go to Dr. Asasa's house that night, the phone returned to Ai Ashara.
Before he hung up the phone, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Gray Yuan, what is that matter...... Haven't you decided yet? โ
Gray Plains, who was walking towards her room, paused, and she glanced down at the coffee cup in her hand before responding to the other party, "I need to think again." After all, it's a matter of life. โ
"It's not such an exaggeration as a matter of life."
"I'm not like you, Detective."
Closing the door of the room, the tea-haired girl put the coffee cup in her hand in front of the computer desk, "As a former member of the organization, the police are sometimes no different from the organization for me. You don't expect a guy who was once a member of the group to have the same unconditional trust in the police as you do. โ
She took a sip of her coffee, not paying attention to the silence on the other side.
She had refused when the FBI had said it wanted to give her asylum, but now it is different from the past, and when the group is forced to death by the police, the previous confrontation will turn into revenge.
Shirley's whereabouts have always been valued by the organization, and if she is discovered at this time, maybe those children will be implicated.
Moreover, although she still has some drug information in her hands, and Dr. Asasa's laboratory can also provide a research site, the police and the FBI have been fighting with the organization for many years, and the information in their hands may be able to supplement her gaps, and the experimental site promised to provide can also make the research on the antidote go further.
But......
"I know what you think." She held the coffee cup and said in a low voice, "When the organization is completely destroyed, I only have two choices, restore the original appearance, and then accept the new identity arranged by the police, or continue to live as Gray Yuan Mourning." โ
"Have you already thought about it?" Conan Edogawa finally spoke.
"No, not really. That's why I want to wait a little longer. The second option is nothing, if I choose the first one...... When that's over, I should be placed in a new role. โ
Gray Plains' usual cold voice finally softened a little when he mentioned the children outside, "If that's the case, maybe this is the last time the identity of 'Gray Plains Mourning' stays here." I think...... Spend a little more time with those kids. โ
"I didn't expect this to come out of your mouth."
Pretending not to hear the smile in the voice of the person opposite, the girl sorted through the information on the computer and continued, "And, before I leave with the police, I want to get back what my parents left behind. โ
Edogawa Conan was stunned, "Their stuff?" โ
"I can't keep some clothes and stuff. Sister...... When she was in college, she stored these things left by her parents in different places. The girl took a deep breath, "I took some small things, but some of them were clothes, and there were so many of them that I didn't take them for fear of being detected by the organization." โ
"Now, it should be stored in the university's student apartment."
"Then get these things back." Edogawa Conan paused for a moment and said, "When I get back from the cruise ship, I'll go with you." โ
"Then I'll trouble you, Detective."
Hanging up the phone, the boy pushed the door of Poirot's cafรฉ back open, only to find that Okiya, who was still sitting at the table, had left.
Even the cake that I had just ordered had to be packed and taken away in a hurry.
It seems that the FBI and the police have been really busy lately, but Mr. Amuro was able to invent a new cake when he was able to work as a waiter, which is also too dedicated.
Conan Edogawa twitched the corners of his mouth, but still gave up the idea of going to Akai Shuichi, and walked back to Moriran's side.
You can meet on a cruise ship anyway.
โโโโโโ
"Young master, have a good trip."
The butler's voice came with the sound of the car door opening.
Ikekawa replied softly.
Since he clarified Furukawa's position, he didn't need to worry about the ankle bracelet anymore, as long as he took out the mini locator in the bell mouth and put it in the villa when he went out, plus Furukawa's report that 'the young master is handling documents at home today', that gentleman will not have any doubts.
He took the opportunity to go to many places that he couldn't go before to determine the details of the plan.
Today, however, the locator was put back in the bell.
Ikekawa pushed the hidden door open, and the bell made a slight noise as her feet hit the ground.
The car behind him quickly left, leaving him alone with his suitcase and looking up at the behemoth in front of him.
This cruise ship, built decades ago, has been restored and repainted. The huge hull swayed slightly with the waves, like a building towering above the sea.
He arrived a little early, and not far away there were crew members carrying containers from the dock to the ship, behind which several huge cages were covered with white cloths.
The sea breeze blew up, lifting a corner of the heavy fabric, and he saw several medium-sized wolves lying in their cages, their blue-green eyes staring out, motionless.
The corners of the cage are inlaid with the name of the circus.
The circus show on the cruise ship seems to be quite interesting.
He lowered his head, turned on his phone while the party was boarding, and deftly clicked into the forum to open the latest related discussion thread.
[Wolves, lions, bears, animals are so complete, why am I a little panicked?] ]
[Fortunately, this is not linked to the next door, otherwise I would suspect that the zoo is disguised]
[All I have to do is say: none of them look as good as Enoch and the fox cubs!] Damn, why were the two cutest cubs brought home by Ikekawa Na to raise]
[Forget it, can you take the fox cubs out for a walk!] Ahhh ]
[Capture keywords, placement photos: #็็ธๅดฝๆ่ทค.jpg#, #็็ธๅดฝๅๆป.jpg#, #็็ธๅดฝๅ่ณๆต.jpg#, #f#, #็็ธๅดฝๅฒ็.jpg#, #็็ธๅดฝๆฌๅคด็นๅ.jpg#]
[Hey, hey, kiss, you can't escape the palm of your mother's hand, hey, why are your ears hanging down, do you want Mommy's kiss hey, hey, hey, hey......]
[Where did Shiji Niangniang come from]
Ikekawa Nai hurriedly looked away, her ears were red.
Why did he look so dull after turning into a fox, no matter where he looked, his round eyes were seriously confused.
No wonder at the time on the edge of the windowsill, Gin came directly to pick him up and slipped away, I'm afraid that the guy was really afraid that he would have a bad brain and jump straight down.
I don't know if the heat on my face is from the sun or annoyed, Ikekawa Nai slightly touched his forehead with the back of his hand, or put down the phone first and walked forward.
As we get closer to the cruise ship, the chirping of seagulls at the pier fades away, replaced by the deep roar of the cruise ship and the sound of waves crashing on the pier and hull.
The sea shook, and Ikekawa Na subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction of the coastline, feeling that the sound was particularly familiar.
'It's okay, it's okay...... You'll be safe. โ
A very soft female voice sounded in her ears, and Ikekawa was stunned for a moment, and suddenly turned her head to look around.
Everyone was laughing and saying goodbye in the joy of the upcoming cruise, and no one was talking to themselves with a trill. The familiarity of the crashing waves fades away in the unfamiliar scene.
But he heard it.
"Brother Maori!"
Ikekawa Na stopped her thoughts for a moment and looked not far away.
"Twilight Police......" The familiar detective responded, but before he could shout the title, he was interrupted by the other party.
"I'm just here for a tour today." Officer Twilight greeted, reaching out and straightening his hat, "I'm just here for a trip today, so don't call me a police officer." โ
He also wears the same formal clothes as he usually wears to work, but he doesn't wear white gloves, which is not obtrusive among most people who dress more formally.
"Oh, that's right. It's rare to see you travel to such a place. Mori Kogoro scratched his head and glanced around, "Didn't your wife come with you?" โ
"Actually, it's not entirely accurate to say that travel, I'm here for a person's request. That's why I didn't come with her. โ
"Entrusted?"
"Because this year is exactly the twenty-first year." Seeing the long-haired girl not far away walking towards this side, after greeting the other party, Officer Twilight waved his hand, not wanting to mention this matter again, "Don't talk about this, I'll go to the room to put my luggage first." โ
"Daddy." Mao Lilan walked with the others, watching the figure of the other party gradually moving away, Edogawa Conan stood on tiptoe and asked, "Uncle!" What's the matter, why come on a cruise in the twenty-first year. โ
"How do I know this, even if it's a case, 21 years ago, even Officer Twilight had just become a criminal policeman." Mori Kogoro said impatiently, "Okay, let's get on the boat quickly." โ
Seeing that the other party was the first to board the ship, Ikekawa Nacai slowly stepped forward and followed the end of the line.
The four-story hull towers over the deck, casting a thick black shadow towards the sea. The crew hurried along the passageway, the glare of the sun blurring the edges of the cruise ship, and the brilliance was like gold outlining the lines.
He didn't know that his company had invested in the ship.
However, many organization-related things are achieved through the investment of the Ikekawa chaebol, and this is probably one of them.
He lowered his head and opened the photo in his phone email to take a look.
It was an emaciated man with a stubble on his face, wearing a recognizable white coat.
In rare cases where the experimenter needed to be handled by his own hands, he checked the subject's face again and put the phone in his pocket.
Next to him, the crew took the suitcase in his hand in a gentle manner.
After a short break in the room, Ikekawa Na met an acquaintance in the restaurant who she met at the door not long ago.
The standard combination of a father and daughter and a little boy with glasses, after greeting each other, he saw Sonoko Suzuki hurrying over from the door with a blond man.
Even Ikekawa Na doesn't know what her relationship with Amuro is in the eyes of others now, so she can only listen to a few people chatting with her eyes, and then inexplicably follow them to the indoor pool.
The indoor pool on the top floor is topped by transparent glass, which allows the pool to reflect the blue sky and create a hallucinatory blue.
Ikekawa sat back in a lounge chair fully armed, ignoring how out of place her heavy kimono was.
It's nice to bask in the sun like this.
In the distance, Edogawa Conan took the water volleyball in his hand, reached out and pulled the hand of the girl next to him: "Sister Xiaolan." โ
"What's wrong, Conan." Mao Lilan quickly put down what he was holding and asked with his head down.
"Why didn't you see Brother Okiya, he didn't come when I had lunch just now."
"Huh? Mr. Okiya said that he wanted to tidy up his things in the room first, so that we didn't have to wait for him to have lunch. The long-haired girl thought for a moment and took out the phone in the waterproof bag, "But maybe now that it's been packed, I'll send a text message to ask him if he wants to come to the swimming pool to play together." โ
Conan Edogawa paid careful attention to the other party's expression, making sure that he didn't see anything wrong in it.
That's the biggest thing that's wrong!
Since that hot spring, whenever Ikekawa Na, Toru Amuro, and Okiya appear in the same frame, Moriran has a tangled expression, and every time she wants to call one of them to an occasion with two other people, her brows will be twisted together.
But now it's completely unentangled.
"Sister Xiaolan." To understand why this is happening, we need to understand the first node. Conan Edogawa pushed his glasses and asked, "Did you and Sonoko see anything last time at the hot spring inn?" You've all had a strange attitude when you came back. โ
Mao Lilan's face turned red instantly, and he waved his hand again and again, "No!" Ha ha...... I didn't go out at night when I was at the hot spring inn, so how could I see anything. โ
It seems that I went out at night and bumped into something.
Hey......
Remembering the past of the Ley organization that Gray Hara had said before, Edogawa Conan bent his half-moon eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Mr. Akai wouldn't disguise himself as Okiya Pleiades and just happened to be bumped into by Xiaolan when he was "second seducing" Columbai, right?
He was so frightened that he quickly pulled the image out of his head.
"However, Sister Xiaolan has been a little strange lately." Suppressing the twitching corners of his mouth, Edogawa Conan stabilized his expression and continued, "I always felt that Sister Xiaolan didn't like them to stay together. โ
"Well, it was because I misunderstood something. But now the misunderstanding has been resolved. โ
Mao Lilan subconsciously glanced at the pool, not understanding but choosing to respect the blessing, "The three of them actually get along very well, so Conan don't bother about this matter, do you want to eat ice cream?" โ
What does it mean to "the three of them actually get along very well".
Conan Edogawa slips on the soles of his feet and almost falls into the pool.
Wait a minute! Xiaolan wouldn't think the three of them were ...... That one...... 3โฆโฆ So what's p, right?!
If that's the case, when Toru Amuro and Okiya recover their identities, the public security and the FBI will really lose their reputation!
But does the FBI really have such a thing?
