After laughing for a while, Ryūno chuckled and said, "Maybe it's because Miss Akiyoshi looks very much like Aunt Hime~"

"That's right! When I saw her just now, I also thought she looked very much like my mother~" Xiaolan also nodded.

Sonoko nodded thoughtfully, as if she had suddenly realized something.

Soon after, everyone sat around an extra-long dining table and had a friendly conversation.

After a brief chat, Kusaka Hiroshige pretended to casually ask what he was most concerned about at the moment.

"Mr. Maori, you must have been invited by someone, right? Could it be that you are here to investigate a case?"

"No, how can I say this, actually I..." Maori Kogoro touched the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly.

At this time, Xiaolan said: "Actually, the parents of Sonoko were invited this time. Her father is the chairman of the Suzuki Group."

After Xiaolan finished speaking, Sonoko waved her hand and smiled: "Well, but since my parents don't have time, I came here instead of them. It's more fun with more people~"

"Yes, Dr. Agasa and I are their guardians." Maori Kogoro nodded.

Hearing this, Kusaka Hiroshige crossed his hands on the table, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and whispered: "So that's it, so that's it..."

After getting the answer he wanted to know, Kusaka Hiroshige put on a gentle smile again and changed the subject.

"Actually, I'm writing a TV series project set on a luxury cruise ship. It was also because of the interview that I met Miss Akiyoshi Miwako."

"Uncle, what kind of story are you writing?" Genta asked.

"Is it a story about traveling around the world on a luxury cruise ship?" Mitsuhiko also asked.

Seeing Mitsuhiko and the other two so excited, Huihara Ai chuckled and said, "Maybe, it could be a disaster drama like Titanic~"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Mitsuhiko and the other two blinked in confusion.

At this moment, Maori Kogoro suddenly looked up at the ceiling and recalled, "Speaking of which, it seems that there was an accident where the cargo ship of the Eighth Generation Merchant Ship hit an iceberg before?"

"Yes, it happened in the winter fifteen years ago." Akiyoshi Miwako nodded.

"I remember the report at the time said that this was caused by the captain's misjudgment. In the end, a crew member died, and the captain sank with the cargo ship..." Maori Kogoro continued to recall.

Hearing this, Mitsuhiko and the other two panicked, fearing that the cruise ship would also sink.

Seeing their nervous look, Akiyoshi Miwako smiled and comforted them: "Don't worry, the captain of this Aphrodite is very good, and there are no icebergs nearby~"

"If this ship really sank, I think those guys must have been rescued first... They just arrived~" Kusaka Hironari suddenly looked into the distance and chuckled with a hint of sarcasm.

Hearing this, everyone looked over.

Two people in traditional costumes slowly walked to the highest seat in the entire restaurant under the guidance of the restaurant staff.

"They are the eight generations of presidents and their daughters, eight generations of Entaro and eight generations of Takae." Kusaka Hironari stared at the two people and introduced their identities to everyone.

Sonoko also added: "Speaking of which, I remember that President Takae's husband died in a car accident not long ago..."

"Yes, you are talking about Mr. Eito Yashiro. He is my boss and the commander-in-chief of the team responsible for designing this ship." Akiyoshi Miwako nodded.

Hearing this, Maori Kogoro also recalled the story about Yasiro Hideto and added: "It seems that he had a heart attack while driving and finally drove off the cliff."

Tatsuno did not speak, but glanced at Kusaka Hironari and Akiyoshi Miwako and blinked.

It was not his illusion. When talking about the people of the Yasiro family, the two seemed to exude a hint of murderous intent.

It seems...

"Ah, that's the captain, right? So handsome!" Ayumi looked at the man in uniform next to the Yasiro father and daughter, with a gleam in her eyes.

Although Mitsuhiko and Genta did not speak, they also stared at the man in uniform with light in their eyes.

Sure enough, people are interested in people in uniforms, whether they are children or adults.

"He is Captain Kaito Tou. Do you remember the shipwreck that I just mentioned fifteen years ago? He was the deputy captain of that ship at the time~" Kusaka Hironari squinted at the captain and chuckled.

Although he introduced it with a smile, Tatsuno still heard a hint of hatred from his mouth.

Ryūno: “?”

At this point, Ryūno had no idea what was going to happen next…

It seemed that the so-called “shipwreck incident fifteen years ago” must have something to do with it.Inside story.

The murderous intent and hatred in the eyes of Mr. Kusaka and Ms. Akiyoshi must be related to this incident.

At the same time

Investigation Division 1 of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Miwako Sato came to Inspector Megure and briefly talked about her views on the previous car accident.

"Do you think there is something wrong with the car accident of Eito Yashiro?"

"Yes, I find it very strange that he had a heart attack while driving downhill." Inspector Sato nodded.

"Well, okay. Since you think there is a problem, you have to find out the truth. I will contact the local district and ask them to assist you." Inspector Megure sorted out the materials on the table, and then looked at Inspector Sato solemnly.

Hearing this, Inspector Sato smiled: "Then trouble you!"

...

Cruise restaurant

The waiters have served dinner and drinks for everyone.

Just as everyone raised their glasses and prepared to clink them, Sonoko stood up and said, "Excuse me, please let me say a few words~"

After that, Sonoko raised her glass and said loudly, "First of all, let's celebrate this pleasant cruise trip. And... congratulations to Xiaolan for winning the Kanto Tournament! Cheers!!"

"Cheers!" X N

After the toast, Maori Kogoro, Dr. Agasa and others looked at Xiaolan and Sonoko, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

No wonder Sonoko wanted to say a few words, it turned out to be like this!

At this time, Ryunosuke stood up and walked to Xiaolan's seat, and put a sapphire necklace on Xiaolan's neck.

"Congratulations, Xiaolan~ This is my gift to you - Blue Orchid Star~"

At this moment, everyone present turned their eyes to this exquisite gemstone necklace.

Ayumi stared at the necklace for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "Wow! Sister Xiaolan, this necklace is so beautiful~"

"Yes, Xiaolan, this necklace suits you very well!" Dr. Agasa also smiled and nodded.

Although Maori Kogoro turned his head away and stopped looking at Tatsuno and Xiaolan, his mouth corners curved involuntarily.

Tatsuno is... not bad!

"..."

After a while, Sonoko put down the knife and fork in her hand, pinched her chin with two fingers, and murmured: "Speaking of which, I seem to have heard of this name before... I can't remember it..."

After hearing what Sonoko said, Conan, who was sitting opposite her, frowned.

Not only Sonoko had this feeling, he also felt that this "Blue Orchid Star" seemed to have heard of it somewhere.

Thinking of this, he took out his mobile phone, connected to the cruise ship's network, and prepared to check the Internet for this name that made him very familiar.

A few seconds later, Conan looked at the information and pictures that appeared on the Internet. His eyes widened and his expression suddenly changed, as if he had seen something extraordinary.
