"That's Nana Koyama, Officer. She's a famous model."

"As for the three of them, from left to right, they are essayist Renke, photographer Yongming, and..."

“My name is Peter Ford. You two should be police officers, right?” the middle-aged man who called himself Peter interrupted Officer Shiratori.

"I think this must be the famous detective Kogoro Mouri."

"Ah! You're the famous detective!" Sure enough, upon hearing Kogoro Mouri's name, Nana Koyama, who had been so arrogant just moments before, instantly changed her expression.

"This is the first time I've met you in person! Mr. Yongming, could you please take a picture for us?"

After saying that, Nana Koyama immediately hugged Kogoro Mouri's arm.

[It's not that you're changing your tune, bro, but you're not going to throw a bet, right?]

This woman is really materialistic...

"Come on, weren't you just angry?" Seeing Kogoro Mouri so easily captivated by beauty, Conan and Ran instantly turned into pimples.

Next, Officer Shiratori introduced each of our people.

"This is barista Mr. Asakawa Yu, and next to him are Ms. Karasawa Ayami and Haibara Ai."

"Mr. Asakawa? It's been a long time. Do you still recognize me?" Photographer Yongming looked at Asakawa Yu as if he were seeing an old friend he hadn't seen in a long time.

???

Everyone present seemed curious about why Asakawa Yu knew this person.

"You may not remember me, but I once went to your shop to get materials when you opened it."

“That’s right, that’s right. I also wrote a book about Mr. Asakawa’s coffee shop, which received quite a bit of praise at the time,” said essayist Nishina.

"I remember now, it's you guys. Sorry, I might not have a very good memory."

Asakawa Yu started joking about himself and tried to change the subject, since he didn't care about these insignificant people at all.

"Hey! Are you the owner of that newly popular Asaba Cafe? I heard that cafe is really popular lately. I didn't expect to run into the owner here. Mr. Yongming, could you please take another picture for us?"

It seems that after hearing that Asakawa Yu was the owner of that recently popular coffee shop, Koyama Nana's attitude changed completely, and she asked to take a picture with her.

Before Asakawa Yu could react, Koyama Nana had already linked arms with him and taken the photo.

"So, you were all invited by Mr. Asahi Katsuyoshi?" Seeing that something was amiss, Inspector Megure began to inquire about the important matter.

He wants me to come at three o'clock.

"Me too."

"me too."

As expected, the people here had all come at the invitation of Asahi Katsuyoshi.

"Officer, has something happened?" Mr. Yongming asked while taking pictures.

"Yes, this matter is..."

Inspector Megure was interrupted by Nana Koyama halfway through her sentence, "It's almost three o'clock, let's all go inside quickly."

"Oh, I see. That makes sense. Let's all go inside then."

So everyone decided to go inside first and talk about other things.

-------------------------------

"The view from up there looks pretty good." At this moment, everyone had already arrived on the cable car.

“Look…it seems you have a bit of a fear of heights too, Mr. Nishina.” On the cable car, Kogoro Mouri and Nishina sat facing each other.

“No, actually I’m afraid of water. I… I can’t swim at all,” Renke said, his face pale.

"Oh really? There are all kinds of people in the world."

On the other side, Asakawa Yu and Haibara Ai sat together.

"Hey! Haibara, do you even know what's going on with your sister?"

Asakawa Yu sat down next to Haibara Ai and whispered in her ear.

"What do you mean?" Ai Haibara asked with a questioning look.

"I don't know either. Actually, I just noticed that your sister was acting a bit strange. She always had a serious face, like she had something on her mind, so I wanted to ask you if you knew anything about it."

Asakawa Yu asked directly.

From the very beginning, Asakawa Yu noticed that Miyano Akemi was acting strangely, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it, so he decided to try his luck with her sister.

"Oh, you mean my sister? Actually, I'm not too sure about that either. Why don't you just ask her yourself?" Ai Haibara said with a slight smile.

"Hehe, if I could, I would have done it already. Do you think it's appropriate for me to ask this kind of question given our relationship?" Asakawa Yu was stunned by Haibara Ai's words and then asked back.

"How do you know it won't work if you don't go and ask? You agree, right?" Ai Haibara didn't let Asakawa Yu off the hook, but went on to say something else.

Hehe, whatever. Anyway, if something really happens, she'll probably come and discuss it with me, so I shouldn't worry about it.

With this thought in mind, Asakawa Yu left her seat and went to enjoy the sea view elsewhere, leaving Haibara Ai alone in her seat.

"You... never mind, I'm speechless. You actually think a man like you will ever come to your senses."

Seeing that Asakawa Yu had already left, Haibara immediately sat down and started complaining, then began to worry about her older sister.

Even if Asakawa Yu didn't say anything, Haibara Ai had already noticed her sister's situation long ago. After all, they were sisters, and the other would immediately notice if something happened to the other.

Just like now, her older sister was clearly troubled by something. Although she thought she was hiding it well, Asakawa Yu and Haibara Ai still noticed.

"Sister, what happened?" Ai Haibara asked as she approached Akemi Miyano.

"Oh, it's Ai. It's nothing. How could anything happen to your older sister?" Upon seeing that it was her younger sister, Miyano Akemi immediately replied with a smile.

"Really?" Ai Haibara still couldn't believe it. If nothing had really happened, Akemi Miyano wouldn't be in this state.

"Really, really. Okay, let's enjoy the sea view together first. The scenery outside is very beautiful."

“…Okay, I understand.”

Since her older sister didn't want to talk about it, she wouldn't ask. She knew that her sister would tell her when the time was right, but for now...

Just follow your sister's advice and enjoy the scenery outside the window.
