I'm in Detective Conan, and I start with the Grand Theft Auto system.

Saturday morning, the sun was shining brightly.

Lin Shen drove the black sedan and parked it downstairs in front of the Mouri Detective Agency.

He wore the dark gray notched lapel suit he bought yesterday, and he looked much more energetic.

He leaned against the car door and waited for a while before seeing Xiaolan come out of the building.

She was wearing a newly bought dress, and she looked fresh and elegant.

"Hmm, not bad." Lin Shen looked at Xiao Lan and nodded with satisfaction. "Get in the car."

"Um." Xiaolan walked a little shyly to the car, and just as she was about to open the passenger door to get in, she heard hurried footsteps and a shout behind her: "Wait for me!"

Conan, carrying a backpack, dashed out of the building. He caught his breath after reaching his car, then looked up at Ran and said, "Ran-neechan, I want to go too!"

Ran paused for a moment, then bent down to look at Conan, saying with a hint of helplessness, "Conan, this is a banquet, not a trip for fun..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Shen, who was standing next to her, suddenly spoke up.

He interrupted her with a smile, his tone relaxed and casual: "Sure! Conan, come along too, it'll be more lively with more people."

Upon hearing this, not only was Ran stunned for a moment, but Conan was completely dumbfounded.

He stood there, his mouth slightly open, his expression full of astonishment. He had prepared himself for Lin Shen to refuse, and had even mentally rehearsed several excuses that the other party might use to decline.

He even prepared follow-up lines, such as "I'm very well-behaved and won't cause trouble" or "I can help Sister Xiaolan carry things."

But to his utter surprise, Lin Shen agreed so readily, without even a second of hesitation.

This made Conan wonder if he had been too petty.

He stood by the car, scratching the back of his head somewhat awkwardly, his tone becoming a little embarrassed: "Well... I'm sorry to bother you. Thank you, President Lin."

Lin Shen smiled and waved his hand, then opened the back door of the car: "Get in."

The car drove towards the port.

The sea breeze blew in through the half-open car window, making my hair flutter gently.

After driving for about forty minutes, the car entered the port area. After passing several rows of containers and small fishing boats, the view suddenly opened up.

A huge white luxury cruise ship was quietly docked at the pier, reflecting a dazzling light under the sun.

A prominent logo was printed on the hull of the cruise ship.

Xiaolan peeked out and couldn't help but exclaim, "What a huge cruise ship!"

Conan's gaze fell on the logo on the ship's hull. He adjusted his glasses and said, "That's the Suzuki Group's logo... Is this a Suzuki family dinner?"

While looking for a parking space, Lin Shen casually replied, "No. It's the wedding ceremony of Hatamoto Natsue, the youngest daughter of the Hatamoto family. I was invited to attend."

Ran and Conan both showed expressions of sudden realization.

After the three got off the car, they walked to the boarding gate.

Several security personnel in black suits stood at the entrance, next to a long table covered with a white cloth, on which were several guest lists.

Lin Shen took out an invitation from his pocket and handed it over; it was one he had asked Hatamoto Akie for.

The security personnel took it, checked it carefully, nodded, and made a "please" gesture.

The three boarded the ship successfully.

The interior of the cruise ship is even more luxurious than it looks from the outside.

A deep red carpet lay underfoot, a crystal chandelier hung overhead, and a faint scent of aromatherapy filled the air.

The walls on both sides of the corridor are decorated with some expensive-looking paintings, and occasionally you can see the sparkling sea outside through the portholes.

Conan walked along the corridor for a while, his eyes quickly scanning the surroundings. He was secretly amazed; he recognized quite a few faces.

He lowered his voice and said in a tone tinged with emotion, "So many people have come..."

"That one is a member of parliament who is often on the economic news, that one over there is a very popular female celebrity, and those few seem to be celebrities from all walks of life."

He paused, then turned to look at Lin Shen. "Has Yuanzi arrived?"

Lin Shen shrugged, his tone casual: "Who knows? I don't even know if the Suzuki family and the Hatamoto family have any connection."

"Maybe they've come, maybe they haven't."

As they were talking, a waiter in a white uniform came over, bowed politely, and smiled, saying, "This way, please, gentlemen. I'll take you to your rooms."

The three followed the waiter through a corridor to the door of a cabin located on the middle deck of the cruise ship.

The waiter opened the door, handed the room key to Lin Shen, and then left with a smile.

The room wasn't particularly large, but it was decorated exquisitely.

A large bed sits by the window, next to a sofa and coffee table, with a wide-open sea view outside.

Lin Shen placed his luggage bag at the foot of the bed, then turned to Ran and Conan and said, "You two can wander around the ship for a bit, I'll go say hello."

After he finished speaking, he opened the door and walked out, closing the door behind him.

The moment the door closed behind him, Conan's gaze darkened slightly.

He sensed something was wrong.

When a normal person attends a wedding and brings a female companion, why wouldn't they bring their female companion when greeting acquaintances?

At the very least, they should have said something like, "Let me show you around."

Conan instinctively wanted to follow and see what was going on, but he stopped as soon as he took a step.

He thought about it and realized that there was no point in following him. Lin Shen's skills were ridiculously good, and with his current child's body, he wouldn't be able to follow him, let alone get close to him.

He retreated to his room, his gaze sweeping around before finally settling on the duffel bag Lin Shen had placed at the foot of the bed.

A slight smile played on his lips as he made up his mind.

He turned to look at Xiaolan, who was fixing her hair in front of the mirror, and said in a sweet tone, "Sister Xiaolan, do you need to use the restroom?"

Xiaolan glanced at him in the mirror, thought for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay, I'll go to the restroom first, and then touch up my makeup."

She put down the comb in her hand, turned around and went into the bathroom, closing the door behind her and locking it with a "click".

Conan stood in the room, straining his ears to hear the sound of a faucet being turned on in the bathroom, and immediately sprang into action.

He walked quickly to the foot of the bed, laid Lin Shen's luggage bag down, and unzipped it.

The bag was unlocked and had no security features. Once the zipper was pulled all the way down, the contents were revealed: several neatly folded shirts, a spare tie, a set of toiletries, a power bank, and a data cable.

Clean and tidy, everything is clear at a glance.

There were no guns.

There were no items that resembled weapons.

There wasn't even a folding knife.

Conan frowned.

Unconvinced, he picked up each of the neatly folded shirts, shook them out, and checked them one by one. He also unzipped the toiletry bag and rummaged through it, even weighing the power bank. Everything was a normal daily necessity, with nothing unusual about it.

He put everything back in its original order, zipped it up, and put the duffel bag back in its original place.

He stood by the bed, hands on his hips, looking at the duffel bag that had been restored to its original state, and a thought that made him waver surfaced in his mind:

"Could it be that Lin Shen really came to the wedding simply to attend?"

He thought about it and then felt that he couldn't be completely at ease.

However, there is currently no evidence to prove that Lin Shen has ulterior motives.

He could only suppress his doubts for the time being, walk to the window, and watch the dock gradually recede into the distance, waiting for the cruise ship to sail into the depths of the sea.

--------

Meanwhile, in a deluxe cabin on the other side of the cruise ship, the atmosphere was far less relaxed than in Lin Shen's room.

Akie Hatamoto and Tatsuo Hatamoto sat on the sofa, both looking rather unwell.

The curtains in the room were half-drawn, making the room somewhat dimly lit.

Qiu Jiang's fingers twisted the fabric of her skirt incessantly, while Long Nan's legs trembled uncontrollably.

The two of them were startled when they heard the knocking.

Long Nan stood up, walked to the door, looked through the peephole, breathed a sigh of relief, and opened the door.

Lin Shen stood outside the door, a relaxed smile on his face—the very smile they feared most.

After he entered the room, he sat down on a chair by the window, crossed his legs, and looked relaxed and carefree.

Seeing his expression, Qiu Jiang became even more nervous, her voice trembling noticeably as she asked, "Um... Mr. Lin, what... should we do now?"

Lin Shen didn't waste any words.

He pulled a pistol directly from the inside pocket of his suit jacket. A thin silencer was screwed onto the barrel, gleaming with a cold metallic sheen under the warm yellow light of the room.

He casually tossed the pistol toward Long Nan, who caught it in a flurry, nearly dropping it to the ground as if he were catching a snake.

Lin Shen smiled and said, "It's simple. Just have your husband kill someone."

The man gripped the gun, his fingers trembling, his face contorted in a grimace, his voice trembling with a panic that threatened to bring him to tears:

"Huh? You want me to kill someone? No, didn't we pay you? Why do you want me to do it?"

Qiu Jiang quickly chimed in, nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, yes! This isn't fair! We paid for it!"

Lin Shen looked at the two people, his smile fading slightly, replaced by a cold expression:

"You are paying in installments, not all at once."

"What if you sell me out after the deal is done? Then I won't get a single penny of the final payment!"

"Not only will I not get the money, but I'll also have to spend time dealing with the two of you."

Long Nan's face stiffened, because for a moment he did have that thought: once Lin Shen finished his business, he would sell the other party out, and naturally he wouldn't have to pay the final payment.

But he didn't expect Lin Shen to see right through his thoughts. He quickly waved his hands, his voice panicked as he protested, "No, no! We're very honest! We would never do such a thing!"

Lin Shen scoffed, his tone laced with undisguised sarcasm: "Honest? Would an honest person think of stealing his own sister's inheritance?"

These words were like a needle piercing their hearts, silencing them both and rendering them speechless.

Lin Shen stood up, dusted off his trousers, and said in a calm but uncompromising tone, "You two, each of you kill one person. Consider it a pledge of loyalty."

He lowered his head, his gaze slowly sweeping across the couple's faces. "If you don't agree, then let's not talk about inheritance again."

The matter has already been discussed to this extent.

Qiujiang and Longnan exchanged a glance, their faces filled with fear and struggle.

But in the end, those fears and struggles gradually turned into silence after thinking about the hundreds of billions of yen in assets held by the Hatamoto Group.

Long Nan gripped the pistol, his palms sweating, but in the end he gritted his teeth and nodded forcefully.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and he said in a voice that even he himself didn't quite believe, "Okay... I'll do it."
