Model worker and his little darling

Pingqing looked at the sunset and thought to himself, "Emotions are truly a complicated thing."

Just then, Conan ran over.

"Doctor, I'd like to borrow something from you." Then, speechless, she looked at Pingqing and said, "Pingqing-gege, you're slacking off again."

Ping Qing shrugged. "You and Uncle are enough."

As evening approached, the cocktail party began.

After a half-day rest, the garden had recovered its energy, and the three little ones asked Xiaolan about the seashell bracelet.

Xiao Lan hadn't noticed yet, but she still expressed her gratitude to the three little ones.

"Thank you all, I'm really happy to receive your kind wishes."

As soon as the lights went out, the secretary began introducing the key staff members. Captain Kaito Wataru made a grand entrance last, inviting designer Minami Akiyoshi to the stage.

At this moment, someone in the crowd started a rhythm.

"Captain, is it true that the company president was murdered?"

"There are also rumors that the eighth chairman is currently missing."

Some people even approached Inspector Megure directly, asking, "You detectives, has the criminal been apprehended yet? Is it really alright to hold a banquet like this, so leisurely?"

The scene got out of control for a while.

"Please calm down, everyone."

Suddenly, Uncle Mori appeared and took the microphone from the captain's hand.

"Don't worry, everyone. I, Kogoro Mouri, have already identified the perpetrator of this heinous serial murder case." With that, he waved his hand and pointed to the side.

"The culprit is Ms. Minami Akiyoshi."

Everyone was taken aback, and Hiroshige Kusaka, standing in the crowd, couldn't help but chuckle.

However, the motive he revealed was a bit bizarre. Uncle Mori believed that Minako Akiyoshi and Eito Yashiro, who died half a month ago, were lovers, and that it was all for revenge.

During the call with Hiroshige Kusaka, he didn't say a word, so he wasn't actually on the other end of the phone.

Minako Akiyoshi was speechless, and loudly refuted Uncle Mori.

“If Mr. Shita stops to talk to me in the middle of the conversation, he will find that I am not there, won’t he? I am not stupid enough to create such an alibi. Mr. Mori. If you think I am the culprit, please provide evidence.”

Uncle Mori looked embarrassed. "Excuse me, I'm going to the restroom."

The famous detective's hasty retreat drew jeers from the crowd.

"Inspector Megure, I already know who the murderer is."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the confident Professor Agasa.

However, everyone present was skeptical, since the famous detective Kogoro Mouri had said the same thing, but not only did he find the wrong culprit, he also made a hasty escape to urinate.

"The murderer is Hiroshige Kusaka!"

Hiroshige Kusaka smiled. "Ms. Minami also mentioned that we were discussing the script at the time."

"Is this what you mean by 'script'?"

Then, the sound of Hiroshige Kusaka reading a script came from Professor Agasa's tape recorder.

In just a few words, Hiroshi Kusaka gave himself away, "How could that be? I clearly deleted it."

Pingqing stroked his chin, wondering how many years these two perjury duo would get if they were sent in.

"Even so, that doesn't prove I killed someone."

"Of course there's evidence. Your red hair is mixed with some black hair. I think that must be blood."

Upon hearing this, Takagi immediately stepped forward to check and discovered that Hiroshige Kusaka still had bruises on his neck from being strangled by Yatsushiro Entarō.

"Mr. Kusaka, please come with us to another room to discuss this further."

In response to Inspector Megure's invitation, Hiroshige Kusaka pulled out a bomb remote control.

"Don't move! If you move even a little, I'll detonate the bomb."

Pingqing moved his neck. The scene had finally reached its climax, the part he loved most: setting off fireworks.

Hiroshige Kusaka revealed his motive for the murder: he was the son of a crew member who tragically died in a shipwreck fifteen years ago.

Upon hearing Hiroshige Kusaka say that he killed Hidetoshi Yashiro, Takae Yashiro, threw Entarō Yashiro into the sea, and knocked Sonoko unconscious, he was deeply moved.

Pingqing shook his head; this was the first time he had ever seen such a confident murderer. His gaze then shifted to the true mastermind, Akiyoshi Minamiko, the murderer who had deceived even death itself.

The daughter of Captain Okita, who was betrayed by his first mate, Kaito Wataru, fifteen years ago.

This time, the uncle saw through the murderer from the very beginning, but unfortunately, he gave the wrong motive.

The two were on the phone, one side was on a recorder, and the other side was unattended.

Seeing Yashiro Takae drying her hair with her back to him, he stabbed her without thinking. That wasn't all; after killing her, he didn't even bother to check if she was dead before leaving.

After Akiyoshi Minami killed Yashiro Takae and cleaned up the scene before rushing to the dock, she found him nearly killed by Yashiro Entarō. If it weren't for Akiyoshi Minami's intervention, it would have been Kusaka Hiroshige who ended up as fish food.

In other words, only the incident of Sonoko being knocked unconscious was a success.

Despite having a huge, round black pot on his head, he knew nothing and firmly believed that he was the murderer.

How stupid and useless!

Usually, at times like this, a righteous person will step forward to play the hero.

A man was seen preparing to snatch the remote control from Hiroshige's hand from behind.

During the struggle, Hiroshige Kusaka successfully pressed the button.

An explosion was heard, the cruise ship went dark, and a violent tremor followed.

When the lights came on again, Hiroshige Kusaka had disappeared, and Conan and the Detective Boys gave chase.

"boom!"

Another, even more serious explosion.

Feeling a vibration several times stronger than before, Pingqing looked at Akiyoshi Minako. As expected of a designer, the bomb's placement was particularly ingenious.

He had specifically observed the situation and concluded that it couldn't be forcibly demolished.

Soon, the voices of the staff came through the loudspeaker.

"Please put on your life jackets and assemble on the first deck. Please remain calm and act accordingly. The crew will guide all passengers to the deck."

On the cruise ship, Captain Haito saw that everyone was safe and prepared to leave.

At that moment, Minamiko Akiyoshi walked over.

“Captain, do you remember this? This was my father’s favorite thing.”

When she took out a small paper boat, Haitoto froze on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, Minako Akiyoshi raised her gun and pointed it at Wataru Kaito, and the two went up to the deck.

"I'm sorry, the president ordered me to do that."

Upon hearing this, Minami Akiko shouted sternly, "Stop making excuses! I want you to die along with the Yatsushiro women, just like my innocent father who died. Farewell, Captain!"

Minami Akiyoshi pointed her gun at Captain Kaito Wataru's forehead, about to pull the trigger, when a steady voice came from behind her.

"stop."

Uncle Mori slowly emerged from the shadows, his hands in his pockets.

"As expected, you are the real culprit, Ms. Minami Akiyoshi."

Minako Akiyoshi quickly turned around and pointed the gun in her hand at Uncle Mori.

At this point, the plot has been pretty much ruined, and there probably won't be many more everyday cases in the future.

The relationship between Sera and Miyazaki Hugh might have a happy ending, or it might end badly. It's related to Miyazaki Hugh's identity! It's also related to someone who appeared earlier. Feel free to guess! (*^▽^*)

As for Vodka, I really can't imagine what kind of romantic partner he could be paired with, so he'll probably be the only single guy in the team.

Shuichi Akai was sent to the lab by the Boss, which is related to Drug A. Jodie was just a side effect; she won't be rescued and is essentially done for. The FBI can't possibly rescue her from the Boss's clutches either.

This arrangement is because Taira no Kiyoshi doesn't allow such people to appear around Conan, so the fates of Hondo Eisuke and Sera Masumi later on are likely not good either.

(Mainly because I don't really like Shuichi Akai either ￣□￣｜｜)

Shinichi and Ran might have a bad ending, but I haven't figured out how to handle it yet. (\u003d(′o｀*)))

The location for Hattori's confession has been decided, it should be soon, we can look forward to it! ^_^

Touko and Hiromitsu (Stinger), um... we'll see.

The explanation for Heikiyo's dream will follow.

As for whether Taira no Kiyoshi has been exposed... well, that's hard to say.

The Qing counterattack continues, and more will follow.

Haibara will continue to stay by Conan's side and continue her research because she has no other choice.

Lupin III will not be included in the main story; he will be written as a side story.

(I like Uncle and Xiao Wu ^_^)

The above explains everyone's questions. If you have any further questions, please let us know!
