Science solves cases? No, I am an immortal cultivator!

Saturday evening.

On a luxury cruise ship.

This is a boat specially chartered by the host family, the Ryūmoto family.

In addition to the Toshimoto family, Kitagawa Taki and Sonoko, the people on the boat included Xiaolan and the other two.

The three were invited by the bride Natsue's uncle, Hashimoto Kitaro, because Maori Kogoro had helped Hashimoto Kitaro solve a problem before.

“What a beautiful sunset!”

Yuanzi and Xiaolan leaned on the bow of the boat, admiring the sunset in the sky.

Kitagawa Taki and the other two were lying on chairs, while Mori Kogoro was sleeping soundly. He had drunk a lot of wine at the wedding banquet at noon.

Conan glanced at Maori Kogoro and asked in a deep voice: "Kitagawa, do you have any news about that organization recently?"

Beichuan Taki did not answer Conan's question and jokingly said: "Don't call me Beichuan brother anymore?"

"Hehe." Conan rolled his eyes.

Haha, from now on I’ll just call you dad!

Kitagawa Taki thought of Fujimine Yukiko. This woman hadn't come to see him for a long time since the last time.

Could it be that he scared her?

Conan looked at Kitagawa Taki suspiciously, who was lost in thought, and said, "Hey, you haven't answered my question yet."

Beichuan Taki put away his thoughts, smiled and shrugged, saying: "No."

Conan sighed in his heart. He had asked Kitagawa Taki about the Black Organization more than once, but Kitagawa Taki just kept silent and there was nothing he could do.

At this moment, a roar attracted everyone's attention.

"Who the hell are they? Didn't we charter this ship?"

The person who spoke was Gozo Hashimoto, the head of the Hashimoto family.

"Dad, they are my friends." Ryomoto Kitaro said humbly, "And they are also friends of Miss Suzuki."

"So she's Miss Suzuki's friend."

After hearing that it was Sonoko's friend, Gozo Emoto gave up.

Hokumoto Kitaro took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat off his face, and gave everyone an apologetic smile.

Ryūmoto Natsue came over and explained to everyone: "My grandfather is not like this usually. I don't know what happened today..."

Xiaolan smiled awkwardly.

Sonoko was a little unhappy with Gozo Tomomoto's rudeness, as it was just a passenger ship.

Gozo glanced at Ichiro, who was drawing on the other side of the deck, and scolded him, "I'm a bad father, and neither is my son. He draws useless things all day long, and you don't do anything about it!"

Then, with a cold snort, she called out to Natsue's newlywed husband, Takeshi Natsue, "Xiao Wu, come to my room before dinner!"

After saying that, he left the deck on his own.

Kitagawa Taki shook his head. This was the world of Detective Conan. Judging from the old man's arrogant attitude, he probably wouldn't survive the night.

There's no need to bother with a dead person.

After Gozo Hōmoto left, the atmosphere on the deck changed again.

"Just bear with it a little longer. Dad is old and won't live long. By then, the entire Luben Group will be yours."

The speaker was Mariko Hashimoto, the wife of Hashimoto Kitaro.

"That's not certain," said Akie Ryoumoto sarcastically. "I heard that Grandpa will make the announcement once he arrives in Tokyo."

"What do you mean?" Mariko Hashimoto narrowed her eyes and walked up to Akiie Hashimoto and asked.

"..." Hashimoto Akie smiled indifferently and whispered into Hashimoto Mariko's ear.

Mariko Hakumoto's face changed drastically after hearing this.

"I'm deeply in debt and am counting on the inheritance for emergency help," said Ryuo Hamoto, husband of Akie Hamoto.

"The ship will arrive in Tokyo in less than twenty-four hours. If we don't find a way during this time..." The implication of Akiie Tomoto's words was self-evident.

By the way, both Hashimoto Kitaro and Hashimoto Ryuo were adopted sons-in-law.

Adopting a son-in-law is common in family businesses and aristocratic families in Japan.

Unlike a son-in-law who marries into his wife's family, an adopted son has the right to inherit the property of the woman's family.

These people from the Ryūmoto family thought their voices were so low that outsiders couldn't hear them, but Kitagawa Taki heard everything.

……

It's around 7pm.

Kitagawa Taki and his group arrived at the restaurant.

Kenji Suzuki, the Tomomoto family's butler, is setting the table.

The rest of the Lu Ben family arrived one after another.

"It's almost eight o'clock, why isn't dinner ready yet?"

Kogoro Maori muttered softly.

"Dad!" Xiaolan reminded him, which would not be good if the owner heard it.

At this time, Ryūmoto Natsue asked Xiaolan and Sonoko: "Xiaolan, Sonoko, do you have someone you like?"

Xiaolan and Sonoko looked at each other, then looked at Kitagawa Taki together.

The listless Conan instantly perked up.

Maori Kogoro laughed, "Xiaolan is still young, how is this possible!"

However, Ryūmoto Natsue noticed the reactions of the two women and realized that he seemed to have asked something he shouldn't have asked. He was about to continue speaking along the lines of Mouri Kogoro.

Then I heard Xiaolan blushing and turning her head away, saying: "Of course I have someone I like!"

With a smile on her face, Yuanzi poked Xiaolan's waist with her hand.

Ryūmoto Natsue smiled and said, "Then he must be a very outstanding person!"

She had no intention of asking further questions.

Fortunately, at this time, Takeshi Ryūmoto came back.

But he didn't look too well.

Ryūmoto Natsue happily went up to him and said, "Xiao Wu, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Takeshi Ryūmoto whispered, "Sorry, something got me stuck in the room."

"Are you okay? You don't look well." Ryūmoto Natsue asked with concern.

Suddenly, she noticed that the flower pinned on Takeshi Ryūmoto's chest was gone. She had pinned it there herself.

"Where's your corsage?"

Only then did Takeshi Ryūmoto notice it. "Maybe it fell somewhere. I'll go look for it."

Ryumoto Natsue held Ryumoto Takeshi back and said, "It's okay. Let's go together after dinner."

"Strange, why hasn't Dad come yet? Xiao Wu, you should have gone to Dad's room, right? Where's Dad?"

The person who spoke was Shoji Ryumoto, the second son of the Ryumoto family.

Takeshi Ryūmoto shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Takeshi Hashimoto's words made Shoji Hashimoto frown.

"I'll go call the master!"

Butler Kenji Suzuki put down the work in his hands and said.

……

As a result, within a few minutes, the butler's scream was heard in the restaurant.

"What happened?"

"This is the voice of the butler Suzuki."

"In Daddy's room!"

Everyone stood up and ran towards Gozo Uemoto's room.

When I arrived at the door, I saw Suzuki Kenji collapsed in the corridor, looking into the room with a look of horror.

Everyone looked into the room and saw Suzuki Gozo lying on the ground with his arms and legs spread out, with a large pool of blood on his clothes and the ground.

Obviously, the person is gone.
