Chapter 310: Playing the long game, catching the big fish
Mao Li returned to Beidou Group and participated in the filming of "Titanic".
It just so happened that it was his turn to act today, so Maori naturally joined in.
With the bonus of actor skills and charm skills, Kogoro Maori looks exceptional in every shot, fully displaying the acting skills of Leonardo DiCaprio in the previous life's Titanic.
Not only that, because Maori is even more handsome than Leo, the effect of one plus one is greater than two is fully demonstrated.
In front of the director's camera, Kudo Yukiko stood next to Mori, and the two of them watched the performance together.
Yukiko's eyes were focused, as if she was drawing inspiration from him.
"Kogoro, you are so outstanding. It would be a shame if you didn't become a detective."
Yukiko spoke as she looked at the scene she had just captured, with admiration on her face.
"Haha, I still prefer being a famous detective."
Mao Li laughed, being an actor was just one of his abilities, not all he had.
Points in the system can only be obtained by solving cases. Being a detective is Maori's essential job, and he will never forget this.
"As expected, Kogoro, you are amazing. You are good at everything."
There was a hint of ambiguity in Kudo Yukiko's tone, and she put emphasis on the word "do".
Mao Li hugged Yukiko with a smile and whispered, "Then I'll let you experience what it means to be the strongest tonight."
"Deadly."
Yukiko hit Mori's chest with a red face, and secretly looked around. No one noticed the ambiguity between her and Mori, so she felt relieved.
After all, she is still Kudo Yusaku's wife on the surface, and it would be very troublesome if she was reported by paparazzi.
……
The filming went on smoothly over the past few days, and with Mao Li's participation, the atmosphere on the crew became more harmonious.
But when the shooting entered the middle stage, trouble came quietly.
The Titanic was so large and luxurious that Beidou Group did not have a suitable ship for reference.
Whenever the director looks through the script, gaps in details always appear in his mind.
“That’s really a problem.”
Maori frowned, clenched his chin and thought, "We need a real big ship for reference."
The Tsumoto family has a cruise ship, but Tsumoto Island is now completely closed, and even Xia Jiang can't get out, let alone borrow the cruise ship.
Otherwise, we can ask the Suzuki Group or the Shinomiya family to get one.
At this time, Hattori Heiji, who had recovered, came over and said casually in Kansai dialect: "Uncle Maori, I received a commission from a man named Furukawa Dai, involving a case, and that case happened to be on the San Fernie."
After the last fire, Xiaolan and the others have recovered after a few days of recuperation.
After all, they are all people who have experienced many storms, and Yueying Island has also suffered a fire before. Asai Chengmi knows very well how to ease this emotion.
"The St. Verni?"
Mao Li's eyes lit up, "That's a pretty big cruise ship! Let's go there and take a look, maybe it can help us improve the script."
"I want to go too!"
Yuanshan Heye immediately raised his hand, his face full of anticipation.
"Lan, kid, you guys are going too?"
Maori looked at them. If he didn't bring the two pendants, Little Kid and Hattori Heiji, to solve the case, he would lose the Roulette of Bankai twice.
"Of course!"
Xiaolan nodded excitedly, and Conan also nodded suddenly, with a gleam of inquiry in his eyes.
Maori nodded in agreement and decided to take them with him to the San Verni to refer to the details.
He turned to Kudo Yukiko and asked, "Yukiko, are you going?"
Kudo Yukiko shook her head, her expression firm: "No, I want to immerse myself in this excellent script and stay here to continue exploring. Go ahead, and remember to tell me anything interesting."
"also."
Maori smiled and nodded.
……
Maori and his party boarded the St. Verni, the outline of the huge ship gleaming brightly in the sun.
Stepping onto the cruise ship, they couldn't help but marvel at the spacious decks and luxurious interior decoration.
Just then, a familiar figure walked out from the crowd.
"Mouri Kogoro, I didn't expect to see you here."
Samezaki Shimaji, Mori's former colleague when he was a policeman, now has a head full of silver hair, but the wrinkles on his face cannot hide his former majesty.
"Samezaki-senpai!"
Mao Li immediately went up to him and shook his hand, "Why are you here?"
"I'm just here for a spin."
Samezaki Shimaji smiled slightly, but there was a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes.
"There are a lot of people on the cruise ship, and there are some things to investigate."
Mao Li was shocked and vaguely guessed his purpose.
"Senior, if there is anything you need my help with, just let me know."
"Thank you, Kogoro."
There was gratitude in Samezaki Shimaji's tone, but he did not go any further.
Maori nodded. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he already knew in his heart that Samezaki Shimaji was most likely tracking down Ye Caisan.
That was a sensational gang robbery and murder case fifteen years ago. Even today, although the statute of limitations is approaching, the senior is still concerned about it.
Just as Mori and his group were greeting Samezaki Shimaharu, a middle-aged bald man named Kameda Terukichi walked over.
He tentatively took a seal and gestured in front of Maori and others, with a bit of uneasiness in his eyes.
Mao Li and the others were confused for a moment and looked at each other in bewilderment.
However, Samezaki Shimaji's expression tightened slightly and his brows frowned unconsciously.
This detail was captured by Mao Li, who thought to himself: This man may have some connection with Ye Caisan.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Maori took the initiative to ask Kameda Terukichi.
Seeing that Maori and his party had no reaction to his seal, Kameda Terukichi seemed relieved, shook his head, and said reluctantly, "Nothing."
Then he left in a hurry, with a hint of anxiety in his steps.
"What a strange man."
Hattori Heiji stroked his chin, curiosity revealed in his eyes.
Conan shook his head and said, "Maybe he recognized the wrong person."
But Mori's eyes were always on Kameda Terukichi. He knew that this man was definitely not simple.
Just then, they turned a corner and ran into Kameda Terukichi and a gloomy-looking middle-aged man, Kanie Korehisa.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Kanie Kojiu said coldly, holding a key in his hand, and smiled at Kameda Terukichi, as if they were communicating tacitly.
The two of them walked away quickly, arm in arm.
"It's them both."
Maori formed a conclusion in his mind instantly and glanced at Samezaki Shimaharu. As expected, the senior also recognized these two guys.
There was a gleam of determination in Samezaki Shimaji's eyes. He knew that these two guys were once members of a bandit gang, and what he wanted to catch more was the mastermind, Ye Caisan.
Cast a long line and catch big fish.
Chapter 311: I have to find a way to let my father comfort her
Soon, another guest came on the cruise ship.
He was a man wearing round-framed glasses and with a timid look. His name was Minoru Ebina.
He walked over carrying a suitcase, looking a little uneasy, as if he was suffocating due to the lively atmosphere around him.
At the service counter of the cruise ship, Minoru Ebina talked to the waiter in a low voice, his fingers trembling slightly.
Samezaki Shimaji happened to catch a glimpse of Ebina Minoru, and a familiar feeling welled up in his heart, so he walked up to him and asked, "Sir, have we met somewhere before?"
Ebina Minoru stopped and was slightly startled, then smiled flatteringly, "No, this is the first time I've met a big shot like you today."
There was a hint of unconfidence in his voice, as if to hide his inner panic.
Maori turned his head and said to Samezaki Shimaji with a playful smile: "Samezaki-senpai, you don't think you saw a wanted criminal, do you?"
Samezaki Shimaharu scratched his head and said with a smile: "Haha, maybe. When you get old, everyone looks familiar to you."
Minoru Ebina hurriedly completed the formalities, turned around and left. The suitcase seemed quite heavy in his hands.
Samezaki Shimaji watched his back and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He knew that his investigation was imminent, but the pressure in his heart made him feel suffocated. Even if he boarded this ship, he was just gambling. If he couldn't catch Ye Caisan this time, then his pride would be gone, and he might never be able to do criminal investigation work again.
"Anyway, let's go to the deck and rest for a while."
Maori was keenly aware of Samezaki Shimaji's fatigue and suggested in a gentle tone. He led everyone to the deck and said, "Our original purpose was to inspect the cruise ship. We can't miss it."
……
On the deck, the sea breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, which seemed to dilute the anxiety in my heart.
Samezaki Shimaji looked at the blue sea, feeling a little relieved. He turned to Maori and smiled, "Sometimes I want to just let go of everything and enjoy life, but I am too impatient."
"Haha, why not wait until my movie is finished, then enjoy my movie and relax."
Mao Li looked relaxed, with anticipation glittering in his eyes.
At this time, Xiaolan, Conan, Toyama and Kazuha were having a great time playing in front of the deck.
Xiaolan suddenly ran to the edge of the deck, opened her arms in the afterglow of the setting sun, and imitated Jack, the male protagonist of "Titanic" played by Maori that morning, and cheered: "I am the king of the world!"
Her voice echoed in the sea breeze, and along with the beautiful sunset, it seemed as if time had stood still.
For a moment, everyone burst into laughter.
Samezaki Shimaji burst into laughter and pointed at Xiaolan and said, "Haha, is that a line from your movie? I'm the king of the world, how awesome!"
Looking at Xiaolan's cheerful figure in the sunset, Maori's face was filled with a doting smile and he felt warm in his heart.
At this moment, a middle-aged man who looked elegant came over and said with a smile: "Oh, it's great to be young. But no matter who it is, seeing this magnificent scene, they will want to express their feelings on the deck, right?"
"Who is this gentleman?"
Mauli looked at him curiously.
"My name is Kujirai Sadao, and I'm a businessman, haha."
Kujirai Sadao introduced himself in a relaxed tone, seeming to be very happy about the occasion.
He sat in front of Maori and Samezaki Shimaji, with a hint of kindness in his eyes.
Xiaolan ran back and said to Maori excitedly, "Dad, I am so happy today! Looking at the sea, I feel that all the unhappy things have disappeared."
"Yes, the sea will always contain all good and evil, whether it is painful memories or an uneasy future."
The voice interrupted the joyful atmosphere. Turning around, Maoli saw an elegant lady walking towards him with a pretty face and outstanding temperament.
Kujirai Sadao smiled slightly, as if he was quite familiar with this lady: "This is my friend, her name is Isogai Nagisa, and she often attends various events with me."
Isogai Nagisa nodded to everyone, with a hint of deep emotion in her eyes.
