The more I get to know him, the more I think Kogoro is amazing. He is worthy of being my man.

Only Conan picked his nose and looked at Maori indifferently. He had studied in Hawaii and was basically an all-round warrior except for literature and art.

Judging from his previous performance, Uncle Maori must be very intelligent, so Conan is not surprised that he knows these literary things.

"Look at me, I've been talking to everyone for a long time, please get on board!"

Ryoumoto Kitaro patted his bald head and smiled as he welcomed Mori and the other four onto the ship.

The cabin is gorgeously decorated and fully equipped, almost comparable to a five-star hotel.

However, surprisingly, there were few service staff on board, and the huge luxury ship seemed a bit deserted.

As if he could see Maori's confusion, Hashimoto Kitaro smiled and said, "It's like this, Mr. Maori, our family is going to Hashimoto Island today to hold a wedding as usual, so there will only be our family and a minimum number of staff on the ship. However, I still hope that you can do me the honor of attending the wedding of our granddaughter Hashimoto Natsue."

Xiaolan's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Wedding? That's great! I've always wanted to see what a luxurious wedding looks like."

Mao Li smiled and said, "It's really an honor. We will obey your order. Thank you for your invitation, Mr. Ryūmoto!"

"Really? It's our honor!"

"Oh, by the way, Detective Maori, you can just call me Beilang. After all, everyone on this ship is a shogun, haha!"

Ryūmoto Kitaro looked excited and smiled with a red glow on his big round face.

The Luben family is a wealthy group in the local area, and all outside men must marry into the family. Therefore, it is not surprising that all men and women on the ship have the surname Luben.

"Okay, Mr. Beilang."

"I didn't expect that we would have so many invitations to this wedding. Before returning to Tokyo, I can even attend another wedding to warm up."

Maori smiled and sighed, and Xiaolan asked curiously: "Dad, whose wedding are we going to attend when we return to Tokyo?"

"It's the wedding of your junior high school music teacher, Sayuri Matsumoto. Here, I have received the invitation."

Mao Li smiled and took out the invitation and waved it. Xiaolan was immediately delighted, "Sayuri-sensei is getting married? That's great! I actually like Sayuri-sensei the most."

“Actually, I hate her the most…”

Conan, who was tone-deaf, complained in his heart with a dark face.

Led by Hokumoto Kitaro, Maori and his party went to the guest room, put their luggage away, and returned to the deck.

The luxury cruise ship sails on the sea, and the afterglow of the sunset falls on the face, making people feel very comfortable.

Maori Kogoro saw Hokumoto Kitaro sitting on the deck with an opened bottle of champagne next to him, so he walked over, picked up a glass of champagne and clinked glasses with Hokumoto Kitaro: "Come to think of it, your Hokumoto family still has the custom of returning to the ancestral land to get married."

He took a sip of the champagne and raised an eyebrow in surprise. It tasted good. He might as well keep some at home.

"Yes, since the Edo period, whenever someone in the family gets married, we need to return to the island of Ryomoto to inform our ancestors."

"It has not changed until now, and it is quite cumbersome to talk about it."

Ryūmoto laughed and took a sip of wine, then glanced sideways, "What good luck! Look, that's the heroine of our wedding, my niece Ryūmoto Natsue."

Mao Li turned his head and saw a beautiful woman in a light blue dress.

She has long black hair, and there seems to be a hint of sadness on her fair and pretty face as she looks at the sea in the distance.

Chapter 117: Rescue the Canary

From Maori's perspective, Ryoumoto Natsue's eyes were the color of emerald under the setting sun, and her temperament was quiet and beautiful, fully showing the demeanor of a lady from a noble family and a rich girl. Her style was completely different from that of the crooked garden.

"It's so beautiful,"

Mao Li exclaimed, "Mr. Beilang, your niece is so beautiful."

It’s a pity that I have to get married.

Although Maori also likes other people's wives, he doesn't like to destroy other people's families.

Unless someone else's wife has been alone in her room and has never been touched, he will be willing to take action and save her from suffering.

You said, how cruel it would be for a woman to have never experienced true love between a man and a woman!

Ryūmoto Kitaro nodded with a smile, "Yes, Xia Jiang has been very sensible since she was young, and her academic performance has always been very good. She is really the pride of our family. I remember that she is still a student at the University of Tokyo!"

Xiaolan couldn't help but admire: "Miss Xia Jiang looks very gentle, she must be a very good person."

It’s a pity that I have to get married.

Maori sighed again, shaking his head while holding his glass.

"But she seems to be a little worried. Is she worried about getting married tomorrow?"

Asai Narumi leaned aside and whispered that as a doctor, she paid more attention to this aspect.

Mao Li raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't say anything more. He turned his attention away and said, "A wedding is a big event in life. It's normal to be nervous."

At this moment, Hakumoto Natsue, who was leaning against the deck railing, seemed to sense Mori Kogoro's gaze and turned his head.

Maori smiled slightly and raised his glass to him from a distance as a greeting.

Well, even if you are getting married, you should leave a good impression.

However, Mao Li's handsome and heroic appearance, coupled with the demeanor of a mature man, immediately astonished Tsunamoto Natsue.

Ryoumoto Natsue's cheeks blushed and she nodded and smiled at Maori.

Her etiquette is impeccable and she is definitely the gentle eldest daughter of a large family, making it easy for people to like her.

However, when Maori saw the look on Liumoto Natsue's face, he curled the corners of his mouth.

Having said that!

If the person she marries is not a good one, then he will have to help!

After all, what kind of good person who is getting married would act so shy in front of a handsome guy?

Isn’t this what attracts people to hook up?

"Xia Jiang!"

Just when Ryūmoto Natsue was shyly looking at Mori secretly, a handsome young man ran over.

He is Natsue Ryoumoto's fiancé, Xiao Wu.

When Ryoumoto Natsue heard his voice, the shyness on her face suddenly faded.

She raised her head slightly, and although she still maintained the gentle manners of a rich lady, she was not enthusiastic towards Xiao Wu.

"Xiao Wu, what's the matter?"

She spoke in a calm tone, with a distant look in her eyes.

Xiao Wu seemed a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "Oh, Xia Jiang, I just wanted to ask if you need any help. The wedding preparations are very complicated, I can help you share some of the work."

As a son-in-law of the Tsurumoto family, Xiao Wu obviously has no say in front of Tsurumoto Natsue.

"No, I can handle it."

Ryūmoto Natsue politely declined, her tone remaining calm.

Xiao Wu's expression changed slightly, but he still managed a smile, "Okay, then tell me if you need anything."

"OK, thanks."

Ryūmoto Natsue nodded slightly, still remaining polite, but her eyes had turned elsewhere, and she obviously didn't want to say anything more to Xiaowu.

When Maori saw this scene, he understood everything in his heart.

It seems that Ryūmoto Natsue doesn't like this guy named Xiaowu, so she is so worried about getting married.

There was nothing she could do. As the daughter of a wealthy family, she always faced various frustrations in marriage, which he could understand.

If this is the case, it seems that Maori needs to go and rescue the trapped canary.

and many more.

A beautiful young lady who doesn't want to get married, a luxurious ship that is sailing, and a down-and-out painter...

The main actors of Titanic are all here!

Maori subconsciously looked around and actually saw a young man in a suit with pockmarks on his face on the side of the deck. He was holding a paintbrush in his hand and constantly painting something.

"That one is..."

Maori pointed at the pockmarked man, and Uzumoto Kitaro looked over and immediately laughed.

"Oh, that's my proud son, the young painter Ichiro Uemoto!"

Uzumoto Kitaro raised his head proudly, "He has been learning painting for five years and has received praise from many people!"

"You mean, he's studied for five years and his painting is only like this?" Maori said subconsciously. Judging from Maori's superb painting skills at that time, the young man was just beginning to learn the basics.

In five years, even if you are dumb, you should be able to understand the basics, right?

This guy has really no talent in drawing and he is ugly, so he is not suitable to be the male protagonist.

It’s better to do it yourself, have an encounter with the daughter of the Usumoto family, and then make this story into a movie. Wouldn’t the Usumoto family invest money like crazy?

"Well, Mr. Beilang, I actually suggest that your son find something else to do. The Yamoto family is so big, there are so many things he can do, why does he have to do painting..."

Maori Kogoro kindly advised Uzumoto Kitaro, "He is really not suitable for painting!"

"well said!"

At this time, an old man with white hair and beard came down from the second floor of the cruise ship. He was wearing a kimono, with very long beard and eyebrows. He said with full energy: "I have said it before, the painting is just like garbage, it is better to give up as soon as possible!"

"Dad, daddy!"

Uzumoto Kitaro stood up with sweat on his forehead and bowed to the old man in front of him.

This old man was none other than the head of the Usumoto family, Hatamoto Gozo, and also Usumoto Kitaro's father.

The name of Uzumoto Gozo is very descriptive. When he roars, he looks like a lion and looks majestic without even being angry.

"Humph, you are such a jerk for inviting outsiders on board without permission!"

Uzumoto Gozo glanced at Hatamoto Kitaro, then looked at Uzumoto Ichiro who was constantly drawing on the side, and couldn't help but say: "I am useless, and my son is also a waste. It's just a foolish dream to want to realize such unrealistic fantasies."

The pockmarked man with the same face as Ichiro Motomoto could not help but clench the paintbrush in his hand and lower his head.

"Yes Yes Yes……"

The family concept in Japan is still very strict. In front of Usumoto Gozo, Usumoto Kitaro doesn't look like a son at all, but rather like a grandson.

Uzumoto Gozo turned his head and glanced at Maori Kogoro who was neither humble nor arrogant, and snorted, "But forget it, it's rare to find a guy who knows how to paint. I think you look familiar. Who are you?"

"Mouri Kogoro is a detective."

Maori Kogoro said with a smile. He saw Uzumaki Natsue and Xiaowu coming over from the corner of his eye. He added with a smile, "I am also an entertainment practitioner. I am good at writing songs, painting, scripts, and making movies."

Chapter 118: Family Grudges

"A detective and an entertainment professional?"

Gozo Uzumaki frowned, obviously confused about Mori's multiple identities.

"Dad, Mr. Maori is a famous detective known all over the country, and he is also a consultant for the Beidou Group. He is very powerful."

Uzumoto Kitaro explained to Uzumoto Gozo in a low voice, and Uzumoto Gozo's expression immediately relaxed.

"So it's you, no wonder I said you looked so familiar."

"Mauri, you look very young."

Uzumoto Gozo nodded to Mao Li with appreciation, "Let's have a chance to cooperate with Uzumoto Group."

"of course."

Maori smiled and nodded.

After hearing these words, Natsue Uzumoto became even more curious about Maori.

She kept looking at Maoli shyly, with a hint of curiosity and admiration in her eyes.

Xiao Wu seemed a little impatient and tried to change the subject, "Xia Jiang, didn't you say there were still some wedding preparations to be done? Should we get busy?"
