Conan: No, why aren't you following the script?

Upon hearing Kitagawa Isao's words, Urashi Seiran's expression visibly darkened.

Her original intention was simply to show off her Chinese skills in order to deepen the impression of herself as a Chinese person in front of these girls, but she didn't expect Kitagawa Isao to suddenly appear and disrupt her plans.

Seeing the growing suspicion on Ran and Sonoko's faces, Urashi Seiran cursed Kitagawa Isao countless times in her heart.

However, at this moment, she still put on an understanding smile.

"I think Mr. Kitagawa probably doesn't know much about this. Just like Japanese or Russian, Chinese has different accents in different regions. Perhaps I spoke with a bit of my hometown dialect in my accent, which is why you..."

"Where are you from?"

Pu Siqinglan: "..."

This is impossible to talk about!

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was a bit awkward, Natsumi Kosaka quickly stepped in and suggested that everyone go for a walk on the deck outside, which temporarily stopped Kitagawa Isao's aggressive questioning.

But as she was leaving, Pu Siqing suddenly turned back and gave Kitagawa Xun a meaningful look...

……

"Miss Pu Si, is her Chinese really that bad?"

After the others left, only Ai Haibara and Isao Kitagawa remained in the room. The little girl put down her magazine and looked at Isao Kitagawa with curiosity. "So, Kitagawa-nii, did you really study Chinese? I didn't know you had a talent for languages..."

Compared to other types of skills, language skills often rely more on innate talent. Some people spend their entire lives without being able to speak fluent English, while others can easily learn several languages.

Kitagawa Isao had never shown his talent in this area before, which is why Haibara Ai was surprised. She never expected that her seemingly ordinary Kitagawa brother was actually a hidden genius. This was really beyond her expectations.

Kitagawa Isao felt somewhat embarrassed by this.

He really wanted to explain that Chinese was his mother tongue, but after seeing Ai Haibara's curious look, he finally forced himself to nod and didn't reveal his identity.

After making up some excuses to coax the little one away, Kitagawa Isao quickly grabbed her and caught up with Ran and the others who had gone ahead.

At this moment, Xiaolan and the others had already found a spot on the deck and were asking Hanchuanlong, who was passing by, to take a picture for them.

Despite his eccentric personality, Han Chuanlong, a professional photographer, readily agreed to do something that involved his expertise.

Soon, three photos from different angles were taken. Hanchuan Long said that after returning to Tokyo, he would develop the film and send it to the Suzuki family's villa by express delivery.

Sonoko readily agreed.

Having completed their check-in task, they quickly started chatting around the beach again.

After a while, Kogoro Mouri and Shiro Suzuki also came over. Although the two were of very different social statuses, they were able to chat together, so they decided to enjoy the sea breeze on the deck and have some beer together.

Ran naturally couldn't tolerate such a thing, and after arguing with Kogoro Mouri, the father and daughter quickly parted on bad terms.

Kogoro Mouri felt a little annoyed that his rare good mood had been shattered.

Turning around, Kogoro Mouri suddenly saw Kitagawa Isao standing by the fence, chatting with Ai Haibara. His eyes lit up.

"Kitagawa, come and have a drink with me. Come to think of it, we've known each other for so long, but we've never had a drink together before. That's really a bit much!"

Kogoro Mouri waved excitedly, forcibly pulled Isao Kitagawa to sit down next to him, and poured a full glass of draft beer and handed it to Isao Kitagawa.

Seeing this, Kitagawa Isao quickly waved his hand and used Ai Haibara as his shield.

"Mr. Mori, this... I'm really sorry, Ai doesn't like the smell of alcohol, so I..."

"Hey, I'm not trying to be mean,"

Kogoro Mouri straightened his face and said with displeasure, "How can a grown man like you be so subservient to a brat? This isn't how a detective should act. You know, back when I was at home..."

Blah blah blah, Kogoro Mouri picked up his sake glass and began to boast about his glorious past.

Meanwhile, Conan Edogawa, unaware of the danger he was in, somehow stepped forward and whispered in Isao Kitagawa's ear about some embarrassing incidents involving Kogoro Mouri when he was drunk.

Originally, Conan Edogawa's intention was to warn Isao Kitagawa not to drink too much with Kogoro Mouri, lest he be frightened by the drunkard.

But as luck would have it, a sea breeze swept across the deck, carrying Conan's whispered words to Kogoro Mouri's ears.

Enraged, Kogoro Mouri slammed his fist on the table and stood up. Conan was startled by his outburst and, after shouting, began playing a game of cat and mouse with Kogoro.

Looking at the two people in front of him, who were like a loving father-in-law and a filial son-in-law, Kitagawa Isao shook his head helplessly, put the wine glass back on the table, said something to Suzuki Shiro, and then walked straight towards the other end of the cabin.

He planned to go to the restroom, hoping to use the opportunity to escape Kogoro Mouri's entanglement.

Lately, Kogoro Mouri has been harassing him more and more frequently, as if he and Conan Edogawa had planned it together. One of them is in charge of inviting him, while the other is responsible for digging into his background, and they are gradually becoming more professional.

Although Kitagawa Isao wasn't worried that Kogoro Mouri would see through him, he didn't want to experience the feeling of being interrogated so thoroughly.

As expected, like father, like son... Edogawa Conan's penchant for bothering others, he used to think it was inherited from Kudo Yusaku, but now it seems...

They're clearly learning from Kogoro Mouri. They're not even married yet, but they're starting to look more and more like a real father and son.

This is truly... I don't know how to evaluate it...

……

Kitagawa Isao was at a loss. After lying in the room for a while, he was about to drift off to sleep.

A knock on the door suddenly woke him up from his sleep.

"Who is it? Is it Ai? I'm so sorry, I forgot about you. Wait a moment, I'll come and open the door right now."

As Kitagawa Isao spoke from behind the gate, he hurriedly slipped on his slippers.

However, when he opened the door with a smile, he saw a dark gun barrel sticking out from the corridor.

Pu Siqinglan was standing at the door, looking him up and down with a half-smile on her face.

……

First update, let's go!
