Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 1357 Boarding the Ship

Qin Zhibo stood there in a daze, thinking about the situation revealed by this information.

Although the chairman and his wife of the Suzuki Group did not come.

But there is still a need to maintain face between consortiums, so the Suzuki Group will still send representatives here.

  Who will be sent?

It was obviously Suzuki Sonoko who was being trained as the successor.

If there is Suzuki Sonoko, then the Death God Elementary School Student is still far away...

"Wow!"

"It's Sister Li! Your figure is still as hot as ever!"

"Hoho~~"

At this moment, a certain LSP started to yell like a pervert in the crowd, causing people around him to look at him strangely.

Qin Zhibo and Cheng Shi looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Kogoro Mouri who was cosplaying the same Venom style with a curled tongue and a smile.

Regardless of the occasion, Kogoro Maori booed the artist sisters who were cutting the ribbon on the stage.

This made Mao Lilan, who was standing by, feel a little embarrassed, and she quickly advised: "Dad, everyone is looking at you..."

"Who's looking at me?"

Kogoro Maori turned his head and looked around. With his height advantage, he saw Qin Zhibo, who also stood out from the crowd.

When their eyes met, there was only shock in each other's eyes.

……

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, tourists can board the ship one after another.

The two groups came together and explained to each other why they were here.

The reason why the Mori family appeared here was, of course, at the invitation of Suzuki Sonoko.

In addition to Conan and the Maori father and daughter, even Professor Agasa, Haibara Ai and the three little ones came to eat, drink and play.

The key point of this all-star lineup is that no one can be missing.

Qin Zhibo took a look and thought that this ship was in great danger...

Q: Is it still too late to refund the ticket now?

"Two days ago at the gym, Mr. Qin was still busy with a case with Kudo. I thought Mr. Qin didn't have time..."

"I didn't expect that it was a date with a beautiful lady~"

Suzuki Sonoko made a sly expression, obviously making fun of the relationship between Qin Zhibo and Cheng Shi.

This made Cheng Shi blush and he clasped his hands shyly.

Qin Zhibo generously introduced: "This is Dr. Cheng Shi, the hospital is not far from Dr. Agasa's home."

"This is Suzuki Sonoko, the second daughter of the Suzuki Group."

Except for Suzuki Sonoko, everyone else here knows Cheng Shi, so there is no need to introduce him.

At this time, the three little ones greeted Chengshi very politely, "Hello, Doctor Chengshi!"

Before, Haibara Ai stayed temporarily in Chengshi Hospital and became familiar with the three little ones who came to visit.

"Hello~" Cheng Shi smiled and waved to the three people in the lower position, but his eyes met the smiling Huibara Ai.

"Hello, Dr. Chengshi, nice to meet you."

Suzuki Sonoko restrained her joking attitude and bowed slightly to Cheng Shi.

"Hello, Ms. Suzuki." Cheng Shi also responded with a slight bow.

"Haha~" Suzuki Sonoko waved her hands nonchalantly at this time, "Since we are all acquaintances, there is no need to be so reserved. Just call me Sonoko~"

Hearing this, Cheng Shi's eyes were also quite surprised.

In his impression, people who come from conglomerates are all arrogant and speak in a pretentious manner, but he didn't expect Suzuki Sonoko to be so approachable.

"By the way, let's get on board!"

"If you're late, the good rooms will be taken by others~"

……

Yuanzi's words are used to amuse children.

In fact, the rooms on the ship are tied to the tickets and are booked before boarding.

The only thing that can change is that the rooms of these acquaintances can be exchanged with each other.

There are four types of guest rooms on board: interior cabins, sea view rooms, balcony rooms and suites.

And each room has two beds and can accommodate at least four people, it’s just a matter of space and the view outside the window.

The suite tickets for this voyage are only available to VIPs invited by the Yashiro Group and are not sold to the public. Only Suzuki Sonoko has a suite ticket.

The remaining Mori family, the Junior Detective Team and Professor Agasa have two tickets for balcony rooms.

Qin Zhibo and Cheng Shi booked their tickets quite late, so the most economical interior cabins and high-end balcony rooms were sold out, so they could only book a sea view room.

  After a discussion, several people decided to allocate the existing rooms as follows:

Sonoko, Mao Lilan, Ayumi, and Haibara Ai stayed in the most luxurious presidential suite.

Kogoro Mouri, Dr. Agasa, Conan, Genta, and Mitsuhiko live in a room with a balcony.

Qin Zhibo and Cheng Shi live in another balcony room.

This way everyone can be in more or less the same area, making it more convenient when carrying out group activities on the ship.

Qin Zhibo and Cheng Shi came to the balcony room with simple luggage.

The room is approximately 24 square meters and has a private bathroom, wardrobe, refrigerator, desk, satellite TV and other facilities.

The biggest difference between a balcony room and a sea view room is naturally the balcony facing the sea.

Qin Zhibo opened the sliding door, walked to the balcony, and looked at the blue sea outside.

The sea as far as the eye can see is the famous Pacific Ocean.

Because of the [Fear in the Bottle], Qin Zhibo hasn't felt nauseous about the ocean for a long time.

Even though I was looking at it like this right now, I didn't feel anything strange for a moment.

But when I stare at it for too long, I still feel like I forgot to breathe, and I have to take a few breaths in succession to relieve the depression in my heart.

"Mr. Qin, the luggage has been put away..."

“I also found this.”

Cheng Shi also came to the balcony with an exquisite gift box in his hand.

When I opened the gift box, I found a turquoise waterproof jacket inside. "Aphrodite" was printed on the back of the jacket, which is the English name of the cruise ship.

There is also the "Aphrodite" ship logo on the chest, and the profile of a woman with wavy hair like the sea.

"This should be a gift for the ship's maiden voyage..."

"Shall we put on this and go on deck later?"

"Yes, yes, but..."

Qin Zhibo took off his brown windbreaker and tried it on. The size was a little small and he couldn't wear it at all.

You can contact the waiter on the ship to change to a larger size, but the ship has just set sail and there is a lot of work to do, so the clothes will be delivered around dinner time.

Qin Zhibo is not in a hurry about this.

So, the two of them changed into their daily clothes and left the room.

……

After everyone packed their luggage on the boat, they gathered on the top deck.

Since the departure time of the "Aphrodite" is in the afternoon, it is now dusk, which is a good time to enjoy the beautiful sunset.

On one side of the ship, Ran Mouri and Conan, wearing the jackets distributed for free on the ship, were leaning on the railing and looking at the endless sea.

The originally blue sea was dyed with a layer of golden red ripples under the afterglow.

The orange-red clouds almost filled half the sky.

"The scenery is so beautiful..." Mao Lilan suddenly said lightly.

"Yeah." Conan next to him responded.

"I really hope Shinichi can see such a beautiful sunset..."

Conan looked surprised for a moment and looked up at the girl next to him.

I saw that Mao Lilan's face was dyed with a passionate orange-red like the clouds in the sky, and her eyes revealed an indescribable beauty.

He understood Xiaolan's intentions.

But now he couldn't tell the truth, he could only say in his heart "I was watching it too." But at this moment, Mao Lilan's tone suddenly became sad.

"Conan..."

"Ok?"

"What do you think? Should I just give up karate?"

Conan was a little at a loss for words from Mao Lilan.

When he realized what Mao Lilan was saying, his face suddenly changed.

He suddenly turned his head and saw something glittering in his beloved girl's eyes, which looked particularly bright under the setting sun.

However, no matter how dazzling the appearance is, it cannot change its sad nature.

"Sister Xiaolan, what are you talking about?"

"Karate is a hobby you've always pursued. How can you give it up so easily?"

Conan tried to persuade him quickly, his expression serious and anxious.

Maori Ran did not initially become interested in karate on her own initiative, but was sent to learn by Maori Kogoro on the grounds that "girls should learn self-defense skills."

However, as she studied, Mao Lilan's talent and interest in this area gradually emerged, and she could not stop from then on.

In addition, Mao Lilan is a serious and dedicated person. She has been dedicated to karate for many years, and it has long exceeded the scope of just treating it as an extracurricular hobby.

Although she didn't necessarily expect to make a living from karate in the future, such a hasty ending must have been full of regrets.

"Conan, I know what you mean..."

Mao Lilan turned to look at Conan, with a sad smile on her lips, "But think about it, I'm not as good as Mr. Kyogoku Makoto, who can become a professional fighter in the future..."

“Maybe it’s better to be more realistic in life.”

During these two days, Mao Lilan thought a lot in private.

A hobby is just a hobby after all and cannot be your future career.

Just like Hattori Heiji's mother, who used to be a member of the high school kendo club, but now lives a housewife life that has nothing to do with kendo.

"Although Hattori Heiji is very good at kendo, it is impossible for him to pursue kendo as his aspiration in the future, right?"

"I will eventually have to return to my daily routine. If I practice karate regularly, I will inevitably get hurt..."

There was another sentence that Mao Lilan kept in her heart and didn't say it out loud.

That is, it may also hurt the people you love.

Conan stared at the transformation of Mouri Ran and realized that it was the incident at Stonehenge that had influenced Mouri Ran.

He believed that Mao Lilan did not say such words just because she was too hasty.

After all, Mao Lilan has also thought carefully about her future plans.

This left Conan speechless for a moment, not knowing how to start persuading him.

If this is what Mao Lilan really thinks, he will respect and support her no matter what.

But before that, he had something to say in his heart.

"Sister Xiaolan..."

"I don't know what happened between you and Shinichi-nii in England..."

"But if we talk about your karate, Xiaolan, you have definitely protected me more often."

"I think Shinichi-nii thinks the same way..."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like the sound of an empty valley that touched Mao Lilan's heart deeply.

She turned her head to look at Conan beside her, and Conan was also looking at her with his cute big eyes.

The two looked into each other's eyes, and it was not just a simple gaze that met, but their souls seemed to be communicating with each other.

Against the backdrop of the beautiful sunset, Mao Lilan raised the corners of her mouth and raised her hand to gently stroke her smooth hair blown by the sea breeze.

"is it?"

"Shinichi thinks so too?"

"Yeah!" Conan nodded vigorously.

Mao Lilan was silent for a few seconds, then picked up Conan and held him in her arms like a big doll.

"Sister Xiaolan?"

“You can see more clearly up there~”

"Ah."

Conan nodded. Although being held like a doll was a bit awkward, he had to admit that it was quite comfortable.

But he hadn't felt comfortable for two seconds before Yuanzi came back with the three little ones who had gone out for a run.

"Conan, we all saw it!"

"You're acting like a spoiled brat to Sister Xiaolan again!"

The three little ones immediately ran over and teased Conan.

  Conan, who was teased, felt a little embarrassed for a moment. How could he lead the three little ones in the future?

So he quickly defended himself.

"Silly, I didn't..."

"Conan, are you blushing?" Ayumi took the initiative to attack.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's because of the sunset~"

Mitsuhiko and Genta were not willing to give in, "What an excuse! You were just blushing!"

Conan: "I don't have any!"

Ran Mouri, who was standing nearby, was also stunned when she heard Conan's introduction.

She recalled a time when Shinichi was a child and felt embarrassed, and he also used the sunset to cover his blush.

This kid...

He really looks like Shinichi when he was a child.

At this time, a mature voice sounded beside him.

"Conan's face is red because he is full of energy..."

Everyone turned to look and saw that Qin Zhibo and Cheng Shi had also come back strolling.

When Conan saw Qin Zhibo coming, he looked as if he had seen a savior, and a light of hope shone in his eyes.

But the next second, Qin Zhibo rubbed Conan's head affectionately and smiled.

"Because I can hang out with my favorite sister Xiaolan, of course I am full of energy!"

"Hahaha!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the three little ones burst into laughter.

“Isn’t it the same?”

"Such a childish reason, Conan is really a child!"

Conan drooped his eyelids and gave Qin Zhibo a half-moon look.

  Boss, please don't play with me, okay?

"Oh, right." Qin Zhibo turned around and looked around, then asked, "Why aren't Dr. Agasa, Mr. Maori, and Haibara Ai here?"

Mao Lilan explained: "Dad is taking a shower in the room. He said he wants to dress up nicely for the evening..."

"Dr. Agasa is feeling a little dizzy, so Ai will stay in the room to take care of her."

Cheng Shi heard this and quickly said, "If you feel dizzy, I have some seasickness medicine here. Can I send it over now?"

Mao Lilan shook her head. "No need. Xiao Ai also brought medicine before boarding the ship. Dr. Agasa has already taken it."

"Eh? Miss Chengshi's watch is so pretty!"

Mao Lilan had good eyesight and saw the women's watch on Cheng Shi's wrist at a glance.

"is it?"

Cheng Shi stroked the watch lovingly, "This is a gift from Mr. Qin..."

"That's it!"

Mao Lilan's eyes lit up and she said casually, "I saw a watch like this at London's Heathrow Airport before. It was very expensive!"

"Mr. Qin is so nice to you!"
