I'm in Detective Conan, and I start with the Grand Theft Auto system.
Chapter 281 Why were the fireworks launched from the sea?
After the three of them left the restaurant, Xiaolan walked in front, her steps light and quick, as if she had completed some important task.
Lin Shen and Vermouth followed behind her, strolling slowly through the streets of Okinawa.
Sunlight streamed down overhead, and the coconut trees lining the road rustled in the wind.
Xiaolan walked into a specialty store, her eyes already fixed on the exquisitely packaged Okinawan snacks and handmade jewelry.
Without turning her head, she said to the two people behind her with an air of nonchalance, "You two pick something too! I'll pay for whatever you like!"
Lin Shen responded with a sound of agreement, his gaze casually sweeping over the shelves.
Vermouth stood beside him, casually picked up a small lion figurine, examined it, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Want to make a bet?"
Lin Shen turned his head to look at her.
Vermouth smiled slightly: "Let's bet on whether the Mori couple will reconcile today."
Lin Shen didn't hesitate at all: "No."
Vermouth raised an eyebrow: "Are you so sure?"
Lin Shen picked up a bag of brown sugar, glanced at the ingredient list on the packaging, and casually remarked, "Every woman who can make a name for herself in the workplace is extraordinary."
He paused, then said, "Eri Kisaki has already built such a successful career; do you think she'd easily turn back now?"
Vermouth chuckled softly. "Just as I thought. Attorney Fei is a ruthless woman."
"The fact that she could abandon Xiaolan when she was six years old is a decision that not every woman could make!"
Lin Shen glanced at her.
This sounds like a compliment, but something just doesn't feel right.
He has no evidence.
Vermouth continued, "Since we're on the same page, this bet can't be taken."
She put the little lion back in her hand, picked up a glass next to her, looked at it, and said, "It's not interesting."
Lin Shen did not respond.
Just then, Xiaolan ran over from the other end of the shelf, carrying a bunch of things: "How's your picking going?"
Lin Shen casually picked up two small ornaments from the shelf: "All done."
Vermouth picked up the glass she had just picked out: "Me too."
Xiaolan didn't hesitate at all. She took their things and quickly went to the counter to pay.
After leaving the house, she glanced at the time: "Let's go back quickly, Mom and Dad should still be in the restaurant."
When they returned to the restaurant, Eri Kisaki and Kogoro Mouri were still sitting in their original seats.
At the table, the two people ate quietly, showing no signs of anything amiss.
When Eri saw them return, she put down her chopsticks and asked, "Did you buy everything?"
Xiaolan nodded: "Yes! I picked out quite a few!"
As she pulled out a chair and sat down, she secretly observed the two of them.
Kogoro Mouri ate with his head down, while Eri Kisaki maintained a natural expression.
She looked at it for a long time, but couldn't see anything.
During the meal, Xiaolan felt very uneasy.
She wanted to ask, but Eri Kisaki was sitting opposite her, and she couldn't bring herself to ask in front of her mother.
Finally, when Eri got up to buy a drink at the counter, Ran seized the opportunity, immediately leaned over, and asked Kogoro Mouri in a low voice, "Dad! How did the talks go?"
Kogoro Mouri, who was holding a piece of fish, put down his chopsticks upon hearing this, put his hands in his pockets, and put on a calm expression: "She accepted my apology."
Xiaolan's eyes lit up: "Then you guys...?"
Kogoro Mouri slowly exhaled: "However, she still doesn't want to come back to live here."
Xiaolan's face dimmed for a moment, but she quickly forced a smile: "At least... at least she responded to you, that's good news!"
Kogoro Mouri didn't refute, but simply gave a soft "hmm".
Seeing that he was in a low mood, Xiaolan didn't press him further. Instead, she sat back down and took out her phone to look at the itinerary for the afternoon.
She cleared her throat, trying to lighten her tone: "Let's go to Shuri Castle this afternoon! I've seen a lot of people say the scenery there is beautiful, and the photos taken there are especially gorgeous!"
Lin Shen was the first to nod in agreement: "Okay, I'll follow your instructions."
Vermouth smiled slightly: "Since I don't have anything else to do, it wouldn't hurt to go and take a look."
Eri Kisaki returned with her drinks, just in time to overhear their discussion about the itinerary. She naturally chimed in, "I won't go. I didn't sleep well last night; I'll catch up on some sleep this afternoon!"
Although Xiaolan was disappointed, she knew that her mother worked hard and was busy, and that she must want to rest and sleep more during her vacation!
--------
Around 11 p.m., Lin Shen walked to Vermouth's door and knocked twice.
The door opened a crack, and Vermouth poked her head out, her hair disheveled, her face showing a wary expression.
When she saw it was Lin Shen, she was taken aback for a moment, then, as if she had just remembered something, her tone became wary: "President Lin, it's so late, is there something you need?"
Before Lin Shen could speak, she added, "Let me make this clear first, I'm currently on my period, so it's not convenient for me. We can talk about what I promised you another day."
Hearing this, Lin Shen couldn't help but laugh: "Don't worry, I'm not here to collect a debt."
Vermouth raised an eyebrow: "So what are you here for?"
Lin Shen asked in a relaxed tone, "I just wanted to ask you, do you want to go watch the fireworks together?"
Vermouth was taken aback: "Watch fireworks? Where are the fireworks?"
Lin Shen smiled mysteriously: "Of course, it's the huge fireworks I prepared."
Vermouth looked at him with disbelief: "Big fireworks? Are you sure it's big fireworks?"
Lin Shen nodded seriously: "Really. You'll definitely regret missing tonight."
Vermouth stared at him for a few seconds, then shook her head. "Never mind, I'm not going. I want to get some rest tonight."
As she spoke, she made a gesture as if to close the door.
Lin Shen shrugged, his tone tinged with regret: "Alright then. What a pity, it was going to be quite beautiful."
After he finished speaking, he didn't linger and turned to leave.
The footsteps faded into the distance in the corridor.
Vermouth stood in the doorway, her hand on the doorknob, and hesitated for a moment.
She thought about it for a moment, but in the end, curiosity prevailed. She tiptoed out the door and followed them from a distance.
She wanted to see what this guy was up to.
Lin Shen seemed unaware that he was being followed by someone, and walked straight to the door of Eri and Ran's room, and rang the doorbell.
Soon, the door opened.
Xiao Lan peeked out, still full of energy: "President Lin? Why aren't you asleep yet, it's so late?" Lin
He smiled deeply: "Would you like to watch the fireworks?"
Xiaolan's eyes lit up immediately: "Fireworks? Now?"
Lin Shen nodded: "Yes, I've prepared a spectacular one."
Eri Kisaki also came over, her hair down, seemingly preparing to rest.
Hearing the word "fireworks," she looked puzzled: "Are there any fireworks displays around here tonight? I don't recall any such events happening in Okinawa."
Lin Shen remained expressionless: "Of course not, it was something I prepared at the last minute, so very few people know about it."
Eri still felt something was off, but Ran was already excitedly pulling her hand: "Mom! Let's go! Watching fireworks is so romantic! It's a rare opportunity!"
Eri glanced at Ran's expectant eyes and sighed, "Alright, I'll go with you."
The three of them then went together to call Kogoro Mouri.
Kogoro Mouri was already flushed and red-necked from drinking in the room. There were two cans of beer on the table, and half of his shirt buttons were undone.
After hearing his purpose, he waved his hand, his voice slurred with drunkenness: "Fireworks? What's so interesting about them... They're boring... You guys go ahead..."
After he finished speaking, he took another swig of beer, showing no intention of moving at all.
Xiao Lan pouted but didn't force him: "Alright then, Dad, you should go to sleep early."
Kogoro Mouri waved his hand in response.
After the door closed, Xiaolan couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "I should have told Dad to quit drinking while he was on vacation."
Eri Kisaki didn't reply, but just glanced at the door with a calm expression.
The three of them took the elevator downstairs, and Lin Shen drove the rented car up the mountain with them.
A cool night breeze blew in through the car window.
The shadows of the trees on both sides of the road receded rapidly under the car headlights. The higher we drove, the fewer the streetlights there were, and the quieter it became.
Finally, the car stopped next to a viewing platform.
This place is indeed remote, and it's pitch black all around, with only a sliver of moonlight reflecting off the distant sea.
Xiao Lan got out of the car and looked around: "President Lin, are you sure we can see the fireworks from here?"
Lin Shen nodded: "Give me a few minutes to prepare."
He took a laptop out of the trunk, opened it, placed it on the hood of the car, and his fingers flew across the keyboard.
Eri Kisaki leaned over and took a look. The screen displayed data such as latitude and longitude, range, and coverage radius.
Her brows furrowed.
Do you need these things to set off fireworks?
She felt something was off, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Xiaolan, however, wasn't thinking about it that much. Standing to the side, she stood on tiptoe, peering into the distance, muttering, "When does it start?"
Lin Shen typed the last line of code, looked up and smiled: "Right now."
As he spoke, he pressed the Enter key.
In that instant, the number of points on his system panel decreased by one million.
Immediately afterwards, the dark sea ahead suddenly lit up.
Boom—Boom—Boom—
A series of loud explosions erupted, and beams of red light shot into the sky.
They resembled a string of lit signal flares, rapidly spreading from one end of the sea to the other, drawing long arcs across the night sky.
Then, the red light spread out, turning into a rain of fire that dyed the entire sky crimson.
Like a burning sunset, hanging upside down in the sky above the deep sea.
Xiaolan was completely stunned. She covered her mouth with both hands, her eyes wide open, and after a long while, she finally managed to utter, "So...so beautiful!!"
Eri Kisaki was also stunned, staring at the red light, and remained silent for a long time.
She didn't know the principle behind it, nor did she know how Lin Shen did it.
All she knew was that this was probably the most unforgettable scene she had ever seen in Okinawa.
In the distance, Vermouth stood under a tree at the corner of the mountain road, looked up, and saw the sky filled with red.
She froze for several seconds, then said in surprise, "This guy, is he really going out to set off fireworks? That's too much!"
She then looked in that direction and sensed something was wrong.
Over there... isn't that the US military base they broke into yesterday?
Also, why were the fireworks launched from the sea?
