"She was second in command of the ship's design team."
Kusaka Hiroyuki introduced with a smile: "Aphrodite, this beautiful ship name was given to her by her."
He is actually the designer of this cruise ship...
Hearing this, a group of people couldn't help but look at this beautiful woman with a good figure and a very capable aura.
However, Mouri Kogoro was uncharacteristically, with a somewhat unnatural expression on his face, and said with a smile:
"Ah...h-hello, I am Mouri Kogoro..."
"She is a great beauty... But, I feel like I have seen her before somewhere." Suzuki Sonoko put her index finger on her head with an expression of 'I'm trying to remember'.
"Ah, that..."
Mao Lilan was about to explain.
The waiter who had gone to help them arrange seats came over and said politely:
"Mr. Maori, excuse me, I have prepared your dining seats. Please come with me."
"Excuse me, can I add two more seats?"
After Kusaka Hiroyuki interrupted, he looked to Mouri Kogoro and asked for his opinion: "You don't mind, Mr. Mouri?"
It's not an excessive request, so naturally it's impossible to refuse.
"Uh, no problem..." Mouri Kogoro said.
"Please follow me." The waiter led the way from the front.
"Strange...Xiaolan, is your dad a little weird today?"
Suzuki Sonoko looked at a certain tool man, who went from snatching cufflinks from children to walking with a steady pace, and was very puzzled by the contrast between being able to remain calm in the face of a beautiful woman.
"Ah? What's wrong?" Mao Lilan asked.
"If he were a normal person, he would probably..."
Suzuki Sonoko adjusted her breathing and deliberately lowered her voice to imitate Mouri Kogoro's leisurely way. He often speaks ambiguous words when facing beautiful women:
"Oh, speaking of Aphrodite, she is the goddess of love and beauty. I think you are more suitable for this name than this ship, hahahaha..."
Pfft...it seems like that.
Mao Lilan smiled and said: "I think it may be because Miss Qiuyoshi looks like my mother."
"I see!"
Suzuki Sonoko suddenly said: "I just said that I seemed to have seen her somewhere..."
Speaking of the 'Gothic Lolita' incident, the uncle acted unusually quiet when faced with Zhuangtang Weijia. It turns out that this type of woman is what he is most afraid of...
Conan cursed from the side and walked over. Looking at the dining table that could accommodate 12 people, he felt a little confused again about not seeing Ye Gengyi.
Something's wrong...
Although the cruise ship also provides food delivery service to the room, they did not see anyone in the room when they just went to meet Dr. A Li.
Since there is no research, where did that brother Geng Yi, who would not forget to eat when he had the chance, go?
Conan didn't even think of a reason until he sat down.
Across the dining table, Hiroyuki Kusaka spoke eloquently:
"Actually, I was working on a TV series project set on a luxury cruise ship, and I met Minamiko-san through an interview."
He planned to use this topic as an entry point to find out why the famous detective Mouri Kogoro appeared on the cruise ship.
As a result, the question remained unspoken.
Dr. A Li's eyes lit up and he handed the tape recorder in his hand forward:
"Mr. Kusaka, what kind of screenwriter are you?"
Ah, is this... an interview?
Kusaka Hiroyuki was startled. Although he didn’t know the identity of Dr. Agasa, he was the oldest among the group anyway. He quickly adjusted his expression and said:
"Well... I'm better at mystery dramas, and I'm currently writing a story related to navigation. Haha... It seems quite appropriate now."
"Mystery drama? That's great!"
Dr. A Li's tone was full of expectation and excitement: "I have just been collecting materials in this area recently. If it is convenient... can you share your relevant experience?"
Collecting materials? Who is this old man...
Kusaka Hiroyuki was not sure, so he could only say perfunctorily:
"I suggest it's better to start from the facts... Mr. Maori should have more say in this regard."
Ask Brother Maori? In that case, it is better to ask Shinichi, and what I really want to ask is how to design the plot from an editor's perspective...
Dr. A Li silently took back the tape recorder.
Because there is no way to ask these words.
The doctor really looks more and more like Brother Gengyi... Haiyuan Ai silently withdrew his gaze.
"Oh, right……"
Hiroyuki Kusaka took the opportunity to ask:
"Mr. Mori, you must have been invited here, or are you here to investigate something?"
"No, what should I say..."
Mouri Kogoro hesitated.
Mao Lilan said: "Actually, it was Sonoko's parents who were invited this time, because her father is the president of the Suzuki Foundation."
"Eh?"
It was actually the daughter of Suzuki... Kusaka Hiroyuki was secretly surprised.
Suzuki Sonoko is a lady after all. Facing everyone's attention, she simply explained:
"Because my parents don't have time, I came here on their behalf. I think it would be more lively if there are more people."
Mouri Kogoro added: "I'm almost their guardian."
"Oh, so that's it." Kusaka Hiroshige propped up his chin and murmured without meaning.
There's something very wrong with this guy... Conan tilted his head and squinted at the other person.
...I always felt that when this man with burgundy hair suddenly approached them, it was more than just greetings.
At this time, Genta looked at Kusaka Hiroyuki and asked curiously:
"Has the story you written ever been shown on television?"
"Ah?" Hiroyuki Kusaka came to his senses.
"Speaking of 'stories related to sailing' and the plot of taking a luxury cruise ship, I remember seeing it somewhere..." Mitsuhiko scratched his head.
"If you mean Titanic..."
Haiyuan Ai took a sip of coffee and said in a dark tone:
"It accidentally hit an iceberg, which caused a large area of tearing and water intrusion on the right side of the ship, which ultimately caused the ship to sink a few hours later."
"Xiao Ai, don't talk nonsense..." Dr. A Li sweated and had the idea that this child looked more and more like Geng Yi.
Kusaka Hiroyuki was a little nervous, and he didn't notice that the same unspeakable emotion flashed through Akiyoshi Minamiko's eyes as his.
However, the latter quickly calmed down his expression, as if nothing happened.
Even Conan, who had been looking sideways and looking this way, didn't notice this at all.
