Conan: Another Famous Detective

"Oh! Are you the famous detective Mr. Mouri Kogoro? I'm sorry!" The staff member said with surprise after seeing Moori Kogoro's signature.

"Ah haha! I'm here!" Mouri Kogoro laughed, then looked around, suddenly approached the staff, and said mysteriously: "Hey! Will there really be a murder on this ship tonight?"

"Homicide?" The staff member looked confused.

"This is the letter attached to the invitation you sent!" Mouri Kogoro handed the letter to the staff.

The staff member looked at the letter, and his expression became more and more confused: "The invitation letter was indeed sent by us, but I have never heard of this letter at all!"

"Hey! Could it be that the producer was afraid that Detective Maori wouldn't come, so he made another arrangement?" A female staff member next to him said with some uncertainty.

"It's really possible..." The staff in charge of registration looked surprised.

"Huh? Who is the producer you are talking about?" Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but ask.

The expressions of the two staff members immediately changed, and they waved their hands and smiled at the same time: "It's nothing! Anyway, I hope you can enjoy the terrifying banquet tonight."

Mouri Kogoro still wanted to ask more questions, but Sonoko was already urging him: "Uncle! Let's go in quickly!" As he said that, he pulled Mouri Kogoro directly to the boat.

"Hey! Don't pull me away!" Mouri Kogoro was helplessly pulled away by Sonoko.

The two staff members breathed a sigh of relief and continued to call forward: "Next!"

A tall, thin figure wearing a black top hat and his face covered with bandages came to the registration desk.

"Please show your invitation letter." The staff said in a routine manner.

The tall and thin figure handed over the invitation.

The two staff members began to review the invitations, and gradually, subtle changes appeared in the expressions on their faces.

The two of them raised their heads at the same time, looking at the bandaged figure in surprise: "You... are you the legendary high school detective..."

The bandaged figure did not answer, but picked up the pen and started writing on the register.

For a moment, the eyes of the two staff members reflected a very beautiful handwriting - Kudo Shinichi!

The two people immediately screamed: "It's really you!"

The tall and thin figure made a silent gesture. After the two of them subconsciously quieted down, he nodded slightly, then turned and headed towards the boarding port.

Looking at the retreating figure, the two staff members looked at each other, and both saw faint excitement in each other's eyes.

First it’s Kogoro Mouri, and then it’s high school student detective Kudo Shinichi. The party tonight will probably be quite lively!

…………

Six o'clock in the evening.

On the ghost ship, in the banquet hall.

Mouri Kogoro handed a glass of juice to Sonoko.

"Thank you!" Yuanzi thanked him, took a sip of the juice, and looked around curiously: "There are more people here than I thought!"

"Really, do people nowadays like this kind of strange things?" Mouri Kogoro couldn't understand. If it weren't for the possible murder, he wouldn't have come here at all.

call!

Suddenly, the originally dark banquet hall gradually became brighter.

As soon as the two turned their heads, they saw huge candles being lit on the most conspicuous stage in the banquet hall. The next moment, with the sound of the machine "clicking", a figure gradually rose from the stage. As they came up, an eerie voice spread throughout the banquet hall at the same time.

"All the demons and monsters wandering the demonic path of Hades! Welcome to this ghost ship - the Sea Ghost!" The figure suddenly raised his head, with a skull mask on his face!

"I am the captain of this ghost ship - Captain Gothe!" He introduced himself, then opened his arms slightly and continued:

"There is still an hour before the dinner starts. Before that, please look for six other companions who are connected to your destiny! You all have the same mark on your body!"

"Engraving? What imprint?" Mouri Kogoro asked doubtfully.

"It's a Tarot card!" Yuanzi explained: "Didn't you get a Tarot card when you boarded the ship?"

"Oh? Is it this?" Mouri Kogoro took out a Tarot card from his arms: "Is it the card with XV and the goat pattern on it?"

"Eh? Your cards are the same as mine!" Yuanzi's eyes lit up and he immediately took out his own cards.

The two men's cards were indeed the same.

"So, we are all members of the Goat Team?" Mouri Kogoro guessed.

Yuanzi nodded: "That should be the case. Maybe we want to play some games later?"

"This is not a goat!" Ms. Medusa, who I had met in front of the registration office before, came over at some point. She also held the same tarot card as the two of them.

She pointed at the card and said with a smile: "XV means fifteen in Roman numerals. As for the card, it means [Devil], which means devil."

"So that's it." The two of them suddenly realized.

Ms. Medusa put away the tarot cards and looked at the stage: "The reason why the guests are divided into groups is because this party is actually a casting event for a movie."

"You should have heard of it, it's The Voyage of the Ghost Captain, which is released every summer."

"Yeah! I also know about this movie and have even gone to see it!" Yuanzi laughed.

"Yes, this is the movie." When Ms. Medusa said this, her expression became somewhat meaningful: "However, it is said to be a selection, but in fact the roles are just supporting roles behind the protagonist."

"Look around you. These supporting characters all need to wear such exquisite makeup, which shows that the cost is not small. If there are supporting characters who volunteer to show off their acting skills in the movie, then a production cost can be saved."

“Also, it’s great publicity to hold an event on the ghost ship, which will be used for filming the movie.”

"Wow! There are so many ways here!" Yuanzi said in surprise.

"However, you really know a lot about this lady! Don't you think so too..." Mouri Kogoro hesitated.

Ms. Medusa waved her hand: "I actually have no interest in this movie. I just think this kind of party is interesting, so I just came to have fun."

"Is that so?" Mouri Kogoro was a little doubtful.

Dang Dang Dang!

On the stage, a [Skeleton Crewman] sounded a small gong, attracting the attention of the audience.

On the stage, [Captain Gold] loudly said: "It's time to sail! We will cross the seven oceans and let those stupid and arrogant humans see the power of our monsters!"

"Ooooooo!"

"Ahhh!"

The group of [Monsters] below immediately howled in unison.

Mouri Kogoro looked at this group of people and suddenly felt lonely because he was too normal to fit into the atmosphere.

"Forget it, at least the ship is finally sailing." He could only mutter.
