Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

Two days later, the cruise ship headed to Tokyo.

It was obviously impossible to see all of Osaka in just two days, so the group only visited some of the popular attractions before boarding a Suzuki Group cruise ship to return home.

The Egg of Memories was also loaded onto this ship and prepared for transport to Tokyo for exhibition.

Originally, because Kaito Kid failed, Shiro Suzuki planned to exhibit the Egg of Memories at the Museum of Modern Art.

However, due to the death of Urashi Seiran, the police, for safety reasons, temporarily suspended Suzuki Shiro's exhibition in the Osaka area.

The investigation into Pu Siqinglan has concluded that she was shot by someone else.

However, there were no witnesses, the nearby surveillance cameras were not in use, and the phone call records were completely deleted, so the police could not find the murderer at all.

However, several suspects have been identified.

Those were the people who visited Suzuki Shiro yesterday to ask for eggs.

They might be capable of killing someone to reduce a competitor.

Qi Mingmei disappeared without a trace.

However, Conan and Heiji Hattori did not come with them on the return trip this time.

They also wanted to see if they could find any trace of Kaito Kid in Osaka and ask Nakamori Ginzo some questions.

Anyway, Heiji Hattori has already transferred to Teitan, so the two of them can just come back together alone later.

……

Cruise ship deck.

"Um……"

While drinking juice and fishing, Qi Ming kept his eyes glued to a young woman chatting with Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki.

She has long, slightly wavy brown hair and a sweet face; perhaps due to her mixed heritage, her features are extremely delicate.

The woman's name was Natsumi Kosaka. After her grandmother passed away, she returned to Japan from working in Paris and was sorting through her belongings when she unexpectedly discovered a painting by her great-grandfather.

The painting matched the Egg of Memories perfectly, which is why she made a special trip to visit it.

Through some information revealed by Natsumi Kosaka, everyone learned that there was actually another Egg of Memory, and it might be located in the Yokosuka Castle built by Natsumi Kosaka's great-grandfather.

So, after consulting with everyone, Shiro Suzuki decided to take a train to Kanagawa immediately after arriving in Tokyo.

When Qi Ming heard that Natsumi Kosaka's family owned a castle, he was completely astonished.

This is what a career-driven strong woman is all about.

You own a castle, yet you still want to work abroad?

"Why are you staring at Ms. Kosaka?"

Seeing Qi Ming staring blankly at Natsumi Kosaka, Ai Haibara asked with some confusion.

Having already learned from Pu Siqinglan's example, she wouldn't have any more impure thoughts.

Ai Haibara glanced at Kogoro Mouri, who was also fishing next to Qi Ming, and then noticed that Kogoro Mouri's gaze was also fixed on Natsumi Kosaka.

Ai Haibara couldn't help but lean close to Qi Ming's ear and whisper a question.

"Could it be... that she's also a wanted criminal who came for the Egg of Memories?"

Qi Ming shook his head.

"No, that's not it. My reason for looking at her is very simple."

Ai Haibara raised an eyebrow, already having some guesses in her mind.

Could that woman be... a peripheral member of the organization?

Qi Ming looked at Kogoro Mouri, and Kogoro Mouri, sensing something, also looked at Qi Ming.

“Mr. Mori…you’re probably thinking about something similar to what I’m thinking right now.”

Kogoro Mouri nodded solemnly.

"So Mr. Qi Ming thinks so too?"

"Of course, I rarely think this way, but this time I really will."

Ai Haibara looked somewhat bewildered.

Even Kogoro Mouri could tell, so she definitely isn't a member of the organization.

"What are you two talking about?"

Qi Ming chuckled.

"I'm only staring at her because she's good-looking."

Kogoro Mouri nodded in agreement.

"Yes, she's a stunning mixed-race beauty, especially those grey eyes, they're absolutely perfect."

Ai Haibara nodded.

She finally understood; it was such a simple reason after all…

Ai Haibara's expression instantly darkened.

"...You two!"

She put her small hands on her hips, her eyes narrowed, and she looked at the two of them with gritted teeth.

"You two, one with a girlfriend and the other with a wife, are just staring at other girls like that. Do you think that's appropriate?!"

Ai Haibara pointed her finger at Kogoro Mouri's nose and said.

"Especially you, it's fine if you like looking at beautiful women, but don't corrupt the guy next to you!"

Kogoro Mouri swallowed hard.

He wanted to argue, but the girl in front of him was too imposing, and he couldn't bring himself to speak.

What do you mean I corrupted Qi Ming?!

The eyes are on his body, not mine to see!

"I, I understand. Cough cough, I'm going to have a drink, you guys chat."

Without the slightest hesitation, Kogoro Mouri chose to leave the battlefield.

Qi Ming glanced at Ai Haibara's eyes and curled his lip indifferently.

Why are you looking at me like that?

"What are you looking at!"

Ai Haibara snorted coldly, ignoring Qi Ming's resentful mutterings.

After a while, once her anger had subsided, she took a deep breath and asked Qi Ming.

"Speaking of which, nothing should happen on the ship today, right? Like the Titanic hitting a reef or something?"

"I don't know, maybe."

Qi Ming casually replied while lying on the chair.

"Someone just threw a tantrum and now they're asking me questions. I'm having a hard time answering them."

"..."

After taking several deep breaths to calm herself down, Ai Haibara ignored Qi Ming and walked into the ship.

"Seriously, this paranoia is ridiculous."

Qi Ming yawned.

He had already reviewed the recap beforehand, and if we exclude Kaito Kid, the only other murderer in this case is Urako Seiran.

She's already taken care of all that, so all that's left is to enjoy the trip.

But speaking of which, there seem to be two more puzzles inside the castle, and Conan isn't even here...

Oh, I almost forgot, there are three exceptionally intelligent people on this ship, so it doesn't matter whether Conan is there or not.

"Hey, it's taken the bait!"

Feeling the fishing rod twitch in his hand, Qi Ming stood up and abruptly pulled the fishing line back.

Soon, a sailfish nearly two meters long appeared before them.

"Wow, you can really catch fish on a cruise ship? Mr. Qi Ming is amazing!"

Three gasps of surprise came from behind, and Ran Mouri and the other two had finished their gathering and come over.

"That's really impressive, but I remember it's not easy to catch fish while the boat is sailing, is it?"

Qi Ming shook his head: "Top anglers never care about storms, it's all about practice."

Qi Ming's words once again earned him praise from the girls.

"Wow, Siguoyi!"

"Mr. Qi Ming, why don't you teach us how to fish?"

Qi Ming smiled and nodded.

"oui".

Natsumi Kosaka was taken aback by Qi Ming's reply, and said with some surprise:

"So Mr. Qi Ming also knows French?"

"Hehe, I understand a little bit."

"Mr. Qi Ming is truly learned."

At the deck passageway, a little girl with a dog acting suspiciously was getting a bit flustered.

No, I need to quickly find a way to convince myself that this is a game world and change back to my original body!
