People in Detective Conan are going crazy over the comments section.

"Inspector Megure, we've been waiting for you!" To meet Inspector Megure and his team, Kogoro Mouri and Chairman Suzuki arrived at the ship's helipad early in the morning.

"Seriously, why is it that wherever you are, there's always a case?" Inspector Megure was speechless when he saw his old acquaintance, Kogoro Mouri.

Kogoro Mouri said awkwardly, "Um... I think this is God's will."

“You could say Mr. Mori himself is a god,” Shiratori said as he walked past Kogoro Mori. “And a god of death at that.”

"Forehead…………"

"Officer Shiratori is really blunt." Takagi followed behind them, feeling that Officer Shiratori was a bit different since he came back.

After Inspector Megure and his team arrived, they immediately ordered the forensic team to begin investigating the scene.

"The victim, Hanchuan Long, 32 years old, is a freelance video artist." Inspector Megure was taking notes in his notebook.

"Inspector Megure, we already know who the culprit is!" Kogoro Mouri suddenly exclaimed while Inspector Megure was still thinking about something.

"What! You're saying you already know who the murderer is? Why didn't you say so earlier?!"

Inspector Megure shouted at Mori, his expression clearly saying, "If you already knew, why did you keep them investigating for so long?"

"Uh... I just forgot." Mori said with a smile, seemingly a little embarrassed.

Inspector Megure put away his notebook, then looked at Mori and asked, "So, who is the culprit?"

"Let Asakawa explain this, since he's the one who deduced the culprit just now." Mori directly implicated Asakawa Yu.

Helpless, Asakawa Yu could only walk out amidst Inspector Megure's expectant gaze.

"So you're here too, Brother Asakawa. That makes no surprise."

Upon hearing Inspector Megure's words, several black lines instantly appeared on Mori's forehead, but Inspector Megure ignored him completely. "So, Asakawa, what exactly happened?"

So, Asakawa Yu repeated what he had just said, and Inspector Megure and the others listened with increasing surprise.

"What! Scrooge, an internationally wanted criminal who specializes in attacking people's right eyes?!"

Inspector Megure felt the name was familiar from the beginning, but he finally remembered it when he heard Asakawa Yu say the rest.

"If it's that Scrooge, this case is going to be very troublesome!" An international fugitive hiding in the shadows is much more dangerous than an ordinary murderer.

"In that case, then we..."

"Inspector Megure, I've discovered that one lifeboat is missing." Officer Shiratori, who had just returned, interrupted Inspector Megure before he could finish speaking.

"What? Could it be that Scrooge has already escaped?" Upon hearing this news, everyone's first reaction was that Scrooge had secretly left on a lifeboat.

"I've already sent people to search, but I don't think we'll find it."

"Anyway, we should be safe now." The people still in the living room breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Scrooge might have left.

“But Scrooge is also eyeing the other egg. I think he is very likely at the Kosaka family’s castle… no, I think he has already gone there.”

Inspector Shiratori made a plausible guess, and then suggested, "Inspector Megure, I would like to request permission to go to the castle as well after arriving in Tokyo tomorrow. Is that alright?"

"Okay, let's do it."

After Officer Shiratori's application was approved, everyone went back to their rooms to rest since they had nothing else to do.

At night, Asakawa Yu came to the deck alone and saw Officer Shiratori enjoying the breeze by himself.

Asakawa Yu walked straight over and patted him on the shoulder. "Still not asleep so late, Officer Shiratori? Is something on your mind?"

Officer Shiratori, who had been patted on the shoulder, turned around in surprise. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Asakawa Yu. "Oh, it's Mr. Asakawa. It's nothing. I just couldn't sleep and came out to check things out."

So he thought he had disguised himself perfectly, but Asakawa Yu, who had read the script beforehand, was not fooled by him.

"You don't need to play the Phantom Thief Kid anymore. I could tell the moment you boarded the ship."

!!!

What the hell! How could he see through me so easily? He clearly didn't do anything out of line!

Thinking this to himself, Phantom Thief Kid still couldn't admit it on the surface, so he continued stubbornly, "I think there might be some misunderstanding, Mr. Asakawa..."

Unexpectedly, Asakawa Yu pulled out her phone and waved it in front of him. "I just called the real Inspector Shiratori. He's on vacation in Karuizawa right now. Is there anything else you want to say?"

Upon hearing this, Phantom Thief Kid knew he could no longer hide the truth. "Interesting. I didn't expect you to have a police officer's private number. I was careless."

"No, actually I just wanted to trick you a little. I just said the phone number offhand. I didn't expect you to confess so easily." Asakawa Yu waved her hand, looking completely innocent.

"..." Upon hearing this, Kaito Kid was speechless.

"I give up. So how did you figure me out?"

"How should I put it... intuition?" Asakawa Yu gave a vague answer. "But I'm still quite curious, how did you recover from the injuries you sustained that night so quickly?"

"You mean this? There was no problem to begin with. My pigeons came out and helped me block them, so I was basically not injured."

"...Impressive." When Asakawa Yu heard that Kidd said the pigeons came out to block the way, she was still a little shocked. Are your pigeons this protective of their owner?

"Alright, you're coming out in the middle of the night to expose me, don't you have something to say to me?"

"Actually, I came out to clear my head because I couldn't sleep, but since we've run into each other, I'll ask again: how's your consideration of the collaboration going?"

Asakawa Yu really didn't expect to run into Kaito Kid here, but since she's already here, she might as well ask him again.

"This matter... please allow me to think about it some more." At the moment, Phantom Thief Kid doesn't know what kind of person Asakawa Yu is, so he naturally won't agree to his request immediately. He needs to go back and gather some information first.

"I see... How about this then? Your goal this time is to protect that egg from Scrooge, right? I'll help you, and while I'm at it, I'll teach that Scrooge a lesson, consider it revenge. But after that, you have to agree to cooperate with me, anything?"

Asakawa Yu made a suggestion, and upon hearing this, Phantom Thief Kid fell into deep thought...
