Early the next morning, Mochizuki was wearing a beige dress and a sun hat on her head. Her originally loose long hair was tied into two small braids and hung on her chest. There was also a handbag under her feet, which contained some Something that might be of use.
Leaning against the wind on the fence of the port, she looked at all kinds of people in front of her. There were a lot of housekeepers and drivers, but there were not many real owners. It seemed that she came a little early. The taxi put her outside and rubbed her soles with oil. , luckily she had a lot of strength, otherwise she would have died of exhaustion outside.
Mochizuki yawned and asked when the boat would arrive. She wanted to go up and sleep. She was a little too excited early in the morning, and now she was exposed to the sun again. She felt like she was hypoglycemic.
Kudo Shinichi quietly put on his hat and hid himself in the shadows. Why was this god of plague here? The police were very busy during working hours. Could it be that they were here to question him.
"Shinichi, what's wrong with you?"
Mao Lilan held two ice creams in her hands. Aunt Yukiko was pestered by her fans, so she had to come back first.
Mariko invited them to play here. The car her father rented broke down on the road. She came in Aunt Yukiko's car. It seemed quite obvious that the two of them were surrounded by a group of adults.
Kudo Shinichi briefly recounted what happened last night, causing Mao Lilan to exclaim. The two quietly retreated to a corner, eating ice cream while peeking at Mochizuki.
"So she really doesn't look like a police officer. When my father was a detective, he often stayed up all night."
The two of them looked at me and I looked at you. They both quite agreed with each other's inferences and stared at the moon nakedly.
Mochizuki felt the gaze in the corner and turned around with some boredom. She didn't know who it was and kept staring at her. It seemed that this group of people didn't have a long memory.
He took out his sunglasses from his handbag and put them on, assuming an unconventional attitude, successfully blocking out several politicians who wanted to strike up a conversation.
The roar of machines could be heard in the distance, and Mochizuki breathed a sigh of relief. The ship was finally here. She picked up her luggage and walked to the place where she boarded the ship.
The men who were originally in front of her politely gave up their seats. Mochizuki was not modest at all. She was always attentive to others and was either raped or stolen. Anyway, she was a bare commander and had nothing to fear.
With a slight nod and a salute, Mochizuki was the first to board the boat. The two children who returned to their adults in the back were stunned. The few people who had just given up their positions were famous rich second-generation people in the police circle, and they were still notorious. Lord, I have such a polite day.
Although these people will be somewhat restrained in the Suzuki Consortium, their arrogant and domineering nature will not change. Who is Sister Mochizuki?
Mouri Kogoro was a little careless, but Yukiko, who was next to her son, did not miss the strangeness of the two children.
"Shinichi, is something wrong?"
"Mom, do you know that sister?"
Kudo Shinichi and Maori Ran both looked at Kudo Yukiko. Maybe Mochizuki's true identity was actually the heir of a mysterious large consortium, and those people would be so afraid of her.
Mouri Kogoro also raised his head and saw Mochizuki boarding the ship at a glance. For a moment, the confused detective had the idea of returning home.
Kudo Yukiko glanced at Mochizuki, confirming that she had no memory, and looked at her son strangely.
"Does Shinichi know this sister? I have never seen her before."
The two of them were a little disappointed and looked at Mouri Kogoro, who looked a little strange next to him.
"Uncle, you know the identity of this sister, right?"
Kudo Shinichi suddenly remembered that Sister Mochizuki had once visited his uncle's detective agency. He must have known that Mao Lilan was also keeping an eye on his father.
"She is a police officer and a colleague of Officer Megure."
Mouri Kogoro took out the invitation, ignored the two children standing there, and walked forward.
"Xiaolan."
A clear female voice came from behind. Xiaolan looked back and saw that Yuanzi and her parents were here. Several adults said hello and got busy. Three primary school students stood together and started chattering.
Mochizuki took the room key given to her by the staff and walked to her own apartment. Following her, Toshi Odagiri also had eyes twinkling, said hello to her companions, and walked to her room.
Odagiri Toshi also wanted to form a band, but his father did not agree with it, and was even a little disgusted. The rich second generation with no financial resources could only use the name of his family to cheat outside.
The reason why I ran to this ship this time was also for a purpose. There was a mysterious employer who wanted to visit the Suzuki Foundation's antique display event, but he did not receive an invitation, so he was asked to bring him along.
Odagiri Toshi didn't have an invitation letter himself. He originally planned to steal his father's invitation letter, but his father didn't know why he was crazy and actually gave it to him. However, there was a prerequisite, which was to get close to the woman just now. You can't use your family status to bully others.
Odagiri Toshi also thought about it and couldn't find any good solution. He had never used any other method except family relationships since he was a child. It was really difficult for him to suddenly change his mind.
"Brother, where is the person you asked to bring here?"
A few losers followed Toshiya Odagiri. As the saying goes, the three stooges are the equal of Zhuge Liang.
In order to get his father's financial support, Odagiri Toshi also called a few of his friends, who were all friends in the same circle. They kept staring at Mochizuki, ready to save the beauty at any time.
"Who knows where that person is."
Odagiri Toshi also threw his luggage on the bed and lay down next to him. As long as he had his father's support, he still needed to make money by himself. That little money was nothing.
The few of them stayed in the room for a while, guessing that Mochizuki had finished cleaning up, so they ran out, preparing for a chance encounter, preferably having a meal together or something.
But the reality didn't go as they made up. Mochizuki stayed in the room and didn't come out. Even breakfast was brought to the room by the waiter.
Several rich second-generation people waited at the door for an hour, and finally gave up and ran to the bar in the cabin to get drunk. The man hidden in the dark smiled slightly, took out the master key and easily opened Odagiri Toshiya's room. From the luggage on the bed Something was taken.
The door was closed again, and the interior returned to its original state. There was no sign of damage at all, and no one passed by in the corridor. The visitor lowered his hat, put his things in his suitcase, and returned to his room calmly.
Mochizuki didn't know what was happening outside the room. The cruise ship was not moving very fast, and the sea was calm. After eating a hearty breakfast, sleepiness came over again. Mochizuki lay on the bed, accompanied by the slight breeze brought by the ship. Shaking into a sweet dream.
Of course, Odagiri Toshiya was not the only one who was disappointed, but also the trio of elementary school students who were looking for Mochizuki. Mariko was also pulled in. The three of them ran around in every corner of the cruise ship without even thinking of asking the management.
