Whose personality mask's power comes from the heroic spirit?

At this moment, Taichi, who had just clinked glasses with Kisaki Eri and took a sip of red wine, glared at her unhappily.

Taichi doesn't think Mordred is a character who knows when to stop.

Chapter 180: Shinjo Akane: I'm the spoiler this time

"The food is not satisfying enough." After eating ten servings of steak, Mordred pinched his chin with his fingers, then turned his head to look at the waiter standing beside him blankly, "Do you have any carbonated drinks? Give me a bucket! And then ten servings of steak!"

After eating and sleeping together for several days, Kisaki Eri was no longer surprised by Mordred's appetite.

But Suzuki Sonoko was stunned when she saw someone finish ten people's worth of steak and then eat more.

"Stomach, what a good appetite..." She was very curious why Mordred, who had such a big appetite, was still so petite.

There is absolutely no sign of fat on her body.

"Ran?" Not hearing a response from her friend, Suzuki Sonoko turned her head to look at Maoli Ran, only to find that she was staring blankly at the other side. "What's wrong? Did you see anyone familiar?"

Suzuki Sonoko, who thought that Mao Lilan was moved by the scene or by the people she saw, looked in the direction of her gaze with some excitement...

"Ah... I feel like I've seen that person somewhere before." Following Mouri Ran's gaze, Suzuki Sonoko murmured uncertainly at the woman with straight medium hair and glasses.

"It feels like her mother." Ran Mouri turned her head and glanced at Kisaki Eri, who remained calm after drinking a few glasses of red wine.

"Hmm?" Hibiki glanced at her silly daughter in confusion, then turned her head to look, "...resemblance? I don't feel anything."

"In appearance, they are about 70% to 80% similar, but in temperament, they are 90% similar." Vermouth, who had long noticed that something was wrong with Mouri Ran, had already observed the woman and gave a fairly fair evaluation.

"I'm face-blind and can't see it." Taiyi turned his head to take a look, then shook his head and sighed.

"Can't you recognize me because of my new hairstyle and hair color?" Vermouth looked at Taiyi in surprise and asked, with even a bit of pity in her eyes.

Maybe it was because I was looking over there so frequently that the other party noticed it and looked over here.

When she saw Kisaki Eri, who looked and had a very similar temperament to her, the woman was stunned for a moment, then tilted her head slightly as if she was remembering something, then stood up and walked over.

"Could this lady be the 'Queen of Law', Ms. Eri Kisaki, who has been famous in the legal world in recent years?"

"Yes, it's me." Hibiki nodded and looked at the newcomer. "Who are you, young lady?"

"Akiyoshi Miwako is a designer at Yashiro Shipbuilding, and also the deputy leader of the design team of this cruise ship." The lady named Akiyoshi Miwako stretched out her hand and wanted to shake hands with Kisaki Eri for the first time as a social person.

Kisaki Eri did not ignore her and stood up and shook hands with her.

"I'm sorry, it's not appropriate to exchange business cards in this environment, so I don't have any with me," said Miwako Akiyoshi.

"No, because I didn't bring it either, so it's mutual." Kisaki Eri inexplicably felt that the woman in front of her was very much to her liking.

Maybe it’s because several people around her think she is very similar to themselves?

"If you don't mind, would you like to move your chair over and have a drink together?" Hibiki Eri took the initiative to invite the other party.

"Eh? Me?" Akiyoshi Miwako pointed at herself in surprise, a smile slowly spreading across her face. "It's really my honor to receive an invitation from the queen of the legal world."

As she turned back to move the chair, her steps suddenly paused.

And Akane Shinjo, who had been staring at her from the beginning, suddenly turned her head and looked towards the entrance of the restaurant as if she had received a signal.

A man who looked a bit like a playboy happened to leave the restaurant through that door at this moment.

Having already recalled the contents of this movie, Akane Shinjo narrowed her eyes and tapped the table with her fingers.

Taiyi immediately stood up after receiving the signal, walked behind Mordred and patted her shoulder.

"Come over to my side, let's change places."

"...Then can I drink some wine?" After all, carbonated drinks cannot replace the red wine that goes well with steak, so Mordred took the opportunity to make his request.

Suzuki Sonoko, who was sitting opposite, stared at Taichi with the look of an enemy.

"Don't drink too much, just one glass." Taiyi reminded.

Mordred immediately switched positions with Taiyi.

Suzuki Sonoko took out a handkerchief and bit it.

Vermouth looked around and snorted coldly.

For her, it was the same as if she hadn't changed this position.

"Taiyi, I just saw someone leaving the restaurant." Akane Shinjo leaned close to Taiyi and reminded him in a low voice.

"Hiss——" After looking at Suzuki Sonoko who was glaring at him with a look of grievance across from him, and Mouri Ran who was putting her arm around her shoulders to comfort her, Taichi came to his senses.

How could he forget!

In a sense, Suzuki Sonoko's invitation is the same as Dr. Agasa taking a few naughty kids out camping!

Something is bound to happen!

And it’s a big deal!

Damn!

Because Edogawa Conan and Mouri Kogoro did not show up, he was careless!

"So, something is going to happen?" Taiyi, who had no memory of this scene, asked softly.

"Yes, and it's a big deal." Akane Shinjo nodded and explained, "As I recall, two people will die on the ship... and the ship will be blown up and sunk... Most importantly, Xiaolan will be locked in a cellar."

“…Who is the criminal? I’m going to kill that guy.” When Taiyi heard that Xiaolan was going to be in trouble, he immediately prepared to roll up his sleeves.

"Ah, Xiaolan's experience has nothing to do with the criminal. It's just a plot killing." Seeing Taichi looking like he was about to see blood, Shinjo Akane quickly explained, "As for the criminal... there are two levels."

"Two layers?" Taiyi raised his eyebrows and looked at Shinjo Akane.

"The apparent criminal is... I forgot his name, but he's a screenwriter, and he's connected to that woman who looks a lot like Aunt Fei, and that person plans to use her as an alibi for the murder."

"Ah, can't it be..." After hearing this, Taiyi had already made some guesses.

"Well, the real criminal, the second murderer, is the lady named Akiyoshi Miwako." Akane Shinjo nodded and replied.

"Because it's rare to see someone who looks like Kisaki Eri, I have a deep impression of her." Shinjo Akane continued, "As for the reason for the murder, it was revenge. I remember that this Yashiro Shipyard had an accident with an iceberg fifteen years ago."

"On the surface, the captain and a crew member sank to the bottom of the sea with the ship, but in fact they died in a conspiracy."

"I don't remember the specific reason, but the person who actually did it seems to be the captain of this cruise ship."

Chapter 181: Exploding bombs on site, sending the ship sinking

He took the elevator to the VIP room on the sixth floor and pretended to be drunk and staggering. Kusaka Haocheng looked around and made sure that there was no one around. Then he walked into the corridor steadily, took out rubber gloves from his trouser pocket and put them on his hands. He stood in the room, looked around for a few times, and after confirming again that no one noticed him, he took out the spare key that he had copied earlier and opened the door of the room.

This VIP room is a special room for eight generations of fathers and daughters.

Although he couldn't understand why the father and daughter didn't have security personnel outside their private room, this would actually be beneficial to Kusaka Hiroshige's actions, so he didn't think much about it and pushed the door open to enter the room.

Time is limited, and there is not much that Kusaka Hiroshige can prepare in this room.

He simply found a blind spot under the coffee table near the sofa and the coffee table, and installed the eavesdropping device he had prepared in advance in that blind spot.

After clearing up all traces of his entry into the room, Kusaka Hiroshige carefully left the room and prepared to return to his single room on the second floor.

He didn't meet anyone on the way, and it went so smoothly that Kusaka Hiroshige felt that his action was as if helped by God.

After returning to the room, Kusaka Hiroshige took out the listening equipment with a smile and installed it on the spot.

After that, he just waited quietly for the owner of the room to come back and "reveal" the information to him.

At the same time, Taichi had already let Aix hack into Kusaka Hiroshige's eavesdropping equipment.

Of course, Taichi had no intention of stopping the actions of Kusaka Hiroshige and Akiyoshi Miwako.

Because according to Akane Shinjo, these two people were seeking revenge for their father's death in the long-overdue "accident" fifteen years ago.

The ship has sunk to the bottom of the sea, so naturally there is no evidence left to prove that the eighth-generation president and the then vice-captain, now the captain of the Aphrodite, Kaito Wataru, are the murderers.

Then their revenge...even Sherlock Holmes would not stand up and say that their act of revenge is wrong.

As for the fact that the person who actually succeeded in revenge was Akiyoshi Miwako, and Kusaka Hiroshige was just a puppet and the 'Gecko's Tail'...it can only be said that different people have different opinions.

Anyway, as long as the person involved is happy.

It was the bomb that Miwako Akiyoshi installed on the cruise ship...it was a bit too extreme.

After all, no matter how many simulation experiments she conducted, the reality full of unexpected events did not allow for any omissions.

So, after she installed the bomb, Taiyi planned to call Vermouth to go and defuse it directly.

"Although I feel a little embarrassed towards the screenwriter, I can only treat him as the culprit when the time comes."

After finding an opportunity to take Vermouth out of the restaurant, Taiyi told Vermouth of his next plan in a corner where no one was around and no one was monitoring him, hoping that she would cooperate.

Well, especially hoping that her bomb disposal skills can be up to par.

"It's easy to defuse a bomb." Vermouth took a puff of the lady's cigarette she picked up on the way, then let out a long breath, "After all, textbook bombs assembled by amateurs are basically easy to defuse."

"However, Akiyoshi Miwako... although it is quite remarkable that she can become the deputy team leader of the cruise ship's design team at her age, but does the new country have a modern shipbuilding industry? Has the basic industry reached this standard?" Vermouth looked at Taichi for a few seconds and asked.

"Well, you don't have to worry about that." Taiyi smiled and blocked Vermouth's question, "I will inform Muse of your contribution in this operation later."

……

"Please allow me to confirm tomorrow's schedule."

Inside the room, the eighth-generation president, who had returned to his private room after dealing with important people in the restaurant, was listening to the schedule for tomorrow recorded by Kaho Tsujimoto with his daughter.

"Breakfast will be served at 7am and a Western set meal will be delivered to your room."

"After that, President Yashiro (daughter) will play squash with Mrs. Niimi starting at nine o'clock. We have reserved a court on the seventh floor for you."

"President Yashiro (father) will be playing billiards with Mr. Niimi in thirty minutes. We have reserved a table on the third floor for you."

"After the squash game, the president returned to his room to change clothes at 9:30..."

No one knows how many people are listening to tomorrow's schedule, openly or secretly.

Kisaki Eri, who had successfully gotten tipsy with Akiyoshi Miwako, had just finished the party and was preparing to go back to her room to have a good rest.

Mordred, who had only drunk one glass and never had the chance to touch red wine again, supported her.

"Hey, Ran, shall we go to the deck to admire the starry sky?" After looking at Mordred's back with some regret, Suzuki Sonoko proposed the next itinerary plan to Mouri Ran.

"Hey? The starry sky?" Feeling a little moved, Mao Lilan unconsciously shifted her gaze to Taichi, intending to get his permission first.

"Xingkong, okay, let's just go together!" Taiyi waved his hand and nodded affirmatively.

No matter how thick-skinned Suzuki Sonoko was, she had already noticed it.

The leader of this group of people is the grass in front of us.

Although she was somewhat curious about Taichi's identity, Suzuki Sonoko did not intend to delve into it because Ran Mouri seemed to trust Taichi very much.

"The starry sky..." Vermouth pursed her lips and looked at Mouri Ran with burning eyes.

How long has it been since she looked up at the starry sky?

In the past, I was busy in the organization and had no time to think about it.

But when we arrived at the new country...there was no starry sky at all.

So, this time might be the first time in a long time that she can let go of everything and devote herself to appreciating the starry sky...especially with her angel, Mao Lilan!

……

Some people planned to have a good rest after drinking, while others planned to go to the deck to enjoy the starry sky.

But there are also people who are working hard to make the "bomb".

Although because of her position as deputy team leader of the design team, Akiyoshi Miwako was able to bring some prohibited items on board.

But no matter how stupid she was, she couldn't bring ready-made explosives up here.

The raw materials can only be further processed and bombs can be made on site.

She had been preparing for this operation for a long time, so the making of the bomb went quite smoothly.

It's just that the amount is a bit large, so I'm afraid she won't have much time to sleep tonight.

……

After the star-gazing activity ended, Suzuki Sonoko took Mouri Ran's arm, yawned, and went back to her room to wash up and go to bed.

Vermouth followed Taichi with a bright smile on her face.

This was the second time she was glad that she had left the organization and joined Taichi's ranks.
