Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 1358 Brother, You Are Going Down a Narrow Path

On the top deck, Mao Lilan accidentally mentioned Heathrow Airport.

Before she flew back to Japan, she did not forget to bring gifts for Sonoko and others, so she had seen this watch before.

Although the watch was nice, it was not a style that a high school student could afford, so I just looked at it.

"Eh?"

"The place Mr. Qin went to is also..."

When Cheng Shi heard what Mao Lilan said, he remembered that Qin Zhibo also went to London some time ago.

Just as he was about to say it, Qin Zhibo interrupted him.

"Um! When are we going to eat?"

"I'm a little hungry..."

When the three little ones heard about eating, they immediately became excited.

Yuanta: "Is there any eel rice on the boat?"

Ayumi: "Yuanta, are you eating eel rice again?"

Yuan Tai: "Of course! Eel rice is the most delicious food in the world!"

Yuanzi leaned over, raised a finger, and said with a smile: "Of course we have eel rice! There are more delicacies on this ship than you can imagine..."

"I've already booked a dinner date. It's in the International Restaurant in the main dining room 1."

"Everyone, remember to dress formally!"

……

As the sun sank below the horizon, the sea surface grew darker and there was nothing much to see from the deck.

Instead, lights gradually lit up in the cabin, illuminating this "steel behemoth" sailing across the vast Pacific Ocean.

Everyone wandered around the top deck for a while and then went back to their rooms to change clothes.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, everyone gathered at the International Restaurant in Main Restaurant No. 1.

“This place is so big!”

“How luxurious!”

"There are so many people!"

The three little ones exclaimed in surprise as if they had never seen the world before.

"Of course!" Yuanzi leaned over to introduce the three little ones, "Yashiro Group is a very large conglomerate!"

"Yadai Shangxian, one of the important members of the group, built this luxury cruise ship for the first time. The goal is to benchmark the most luxurious cruise ships in the world. Of course, it has to be more luxurious!"

At this time, a male waiter came over, bowed slightly and said, "Excuse me, are you Miss Suzuki?"

"Yeah." Suzuki Sonoko nodded.

"Your seat will be ready soon, please wait a moment..."

Although Suzuki Sonoko had booked a seat in advance, there were many people dining in the restaurant. In addition, it was the first day of the voyage, and the important members of the ship would also come here to dine at this time, so the seats were relatively tight.

Qin Zhibo glanced inside the restaurant, which was filled with men and women in suits and evening gowns, toasting each other with their upper-class demeanor.

In order to match the upper-class atmosphere here, he also changed into a black suit.

Cheng Shi next to her was wearing a light blue dress, her long black hair draped over her shoulders, and the top of the dress revealed a delicate collarbone.

If Qin Zhibo hadn't seen the information above Cheng Shi's head showing that he was a male, he would have doubted his own eyes.

He is so good at dressing up...

At this moment, Conan tilted his head and saw a white device in Dr. Agasa's hand, and asked in confusion: "Doctor, what is this?"

"Eh? This?"

Dr. Agasa picked up the thing in his hand and said, "This is an ordinary IC recorder. Whenever I have a new invention idea, I will use this thing to record it..."

"By the way, speaking of new inventions, let me take a look..."

As he spoke, Dr. Agasa fumbled in his trouser pocket and pulled out two small gadgets.

"This is a cufflink intercom with an eavesdropping function, and it has been redesigned."

Conan took the two gadgets and looked at them carefully in his hands.

Although Dr. Agasa had released button-type products before, they only had one function: eavesdropping or signal tracking. Their appearance was also very simple, and they looked like buttons.

The cufflinks this time are particularly exquisitely made and inlaid with shiny black gemstones. If you don’t tell me, they can easily be mistaken for some kind of fashion product.

Qin Zhibo, who was standing next to him, glanced at Conan and saw that he had received new equipment, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Dr. Agasa's technological level was truly unique.

This time, I guess some of Haibara Ai's aesthetic taste was also added, otherwise with his engineering mindset, it would be impossible for him to make such a beautiful invention.

but……

"Doctor, how is the electromagnetic Thanos glove that I asked you to make going?"

When it comes to gloves, Dr. Agasa's eyes are obviously a little nervous.

Previously, Qin Zhibo asked Dr. Agasa to make a pair of hand-strengthening gloves based on the same principle as Conan's foot-strengthening shoes.

However, gloves are different from shoes. There is not much available space in gloves, and absolute flexibility must be guaranteed, so they are more difficult to make.

But Qin Zhibo believes that with Dr. Agasa's intelligence and talent, he can still overcome this technical difficulty.

"Well..."

“Although the gloves were made, they looked a bit bulky and inconvenient to use.”

“I’m trying to figure out how to make it a little more flexible.”

Most of Dr. Agasa's inventions are not too super functional in themselves, but what is rare is that they can reduce their functions to a limited space.

However, Qin Zhibo remembered that his requirements in terms of flexibility were not high.

He also drew a design sketch, which could be made according to Thanos's glove, with each gem on the joint being a power gear switch.

But since Dr. Agasa wants to design it more perfectly, there is no problem with that.

After all, you are the one who benefits in the end.

"Then come on, Doctor..."

"Let me know when it's ready."

Qin Zhibo is still very much looking forward to this glove.

Because in addition to the fact that kendo requires the use of hands, I also picked up a professional skill called "Throwing" at the crime scene.

  Throwing + electromagnetic gloves, it sounds very interesting, right?

Although the hands are not as powerful as the feet, they are more accurate.

Moreover, electromagnetic stimulation of acupoints can increase the original muscle strength exponentially. Qin Zhibo's strength is inherently greater than Conan's.

and so……

The future is expected!

"You have cufflinks?"

"It's just right, lend it to me for a while."

At this time, Kogoro Mouri next to him spotted the cufflinks in Conan's hand, reached out and snatched them away, then put them on the cuffs of his white suit.

"But that's..."

Just as Conan was about to explain, Maori Kogoro leaned over to Conan and started scolding him.

"But what?"

"I'm telling you, cufflinks like these are for a gentleman like me, and you, a little brat, are not worthy of using them!"

Xiaolan quickly advised: "Dad, but that's Conan's thing..."

"It's okay, Sister Xiaolan..."

Conan waved his hand indifferently, not really caring about his new equipment being stolen.

Anyway, there is no need for this thing on this ship.

Qin Zhibo also echoed: "Yes, sooner or later we are all one family. What's yours and mine belongs to everyone."

"Right? Conan?" Understanding the deep meaning of this, Haibara Ai closed her eyes and pursed her lips slightly.

Conan, who was used to it, gave a "hehe" expression.

  Why am I so unlucky that this guy recognized my true identity?

But he does have a point...

He took off his high-tech glasses, took out a glasses cloth and was about to wipe the dust off them when he was kicked from behind by a big foot and staggered, and the glasses in his hand fell to the ground.

However, the man just glanced down and ignored Conan, the "foreign object in front of his feet".

When Qin Zhibo saw this scene, his eyes narrowed immediately.

Brother, your path has narrowed.

The man turned to look at Maori Kogoro, "Are you the famous detective Maori-san?"

"Yes, I am..."

"Great!"

The man with glasses and dyed hair who rushed up from behind had a somewhat excited look on his face and introduced himself: "I'm a screenwriter, my name is Kusaka Hironari, and I'm your loyal supporter!"

"Oh, thank you." Kogoro Mouri was not very fond of male supporters and just responded indifferently.

At this time, a beautiful woman with short hair and glasses came behind Kusaka Hironari.

"This is Miss Akiyoshi Miwako, she is..."

As Kusaka Hironari was introducing, a big hand pressed on his shoulder from behind.

He looked back and saw a tall mixed-race man staring at him.

"Brother, you just bumped into someone."

"You are……"

Kusaka Hironari was stunned for a moment, remembering that the man in front of him was another detective as famous as Mori Kogoro.

However, due to his reputation, he did not intend to apologize.

"Who did I bump into?"

Qin Zhibo made way for Conan and said calmly, "You have to apologize if you bump into him, understand?"

When Kusaka Guangcheng saw that the elementary school student he had just kicked was exposed in public, he felt a little embarrassed.

"I just bumped into him accidentally..."

"I believe you did it accidentally, but you still need to apologize."

Qin Zhibo's tone did not give in at all.

This instantly touched Conan's heart and made him feel safe.

Although Qin Zhibo often jokes about himself, he really takes things seriously when something happens!

When Hikata Hiroshige heard this, his face became even uglier.

Fortunately, at this time, Akiyoshi Miwako, who was next to him, bent down, took the initiative to approach Conan, and said softly: "I'm sorry, little brother, I apologize to you on behalf of this big brother."

"Um……"

Conan looked a little dazed when Akiyoshi Miwako suddenly greeted him.

Because the woman in front of him was almost exactly the same as Xiaolan's mother, Kisaki Eri, except for her short hair.

How can they be so similar?

Seeing that the woman traveling with him apologized on behalf of the rude man with glasses, Qin Zhibo stopped talking.

Anyway, I have already given him this opportunity, but he failed to grasp it.

If he were outside, he might still have a certain chance of survival.

But in this huge iron cage sailing on the Pacific Ocean, there is no way to go up to the sky and no door to go down to the earth.

You want to leave after offending the god of death?

dream!

The key is that it doesn't matter if he dies, just don't let it implicate other people on this ship...

……

After a while, the waiter came to inform everyone that the table was ready.

Akiyoshi Miwako shamelessly asked if two seats could be added to accommodate them both.

Out of respect, no one refused.

The group followed the waiter to a long European-style table and sat down on both sides of the table.

After that, Kusaka Hironari had a gloomy face and was difficult to speak.

It can only be introduced by Miwako Akiyoshi again.

It turned out that Hironari Kusaka was recently writing a TV series project set on a luxury ship, so the two got to know each other.

Miwako Akiyoshi was the deputy command designer of the Aphrodite and was very knowledgeable about luxury ships.

"I see!"

"This ship was actually designed by Ms. Akiyoshi! That's amazing!"

Mao Lilan was generous with her praise.

However, Akiyoshi Miwako just smiled faintly and was not overwhelmed by the praise from others.

"This ship was not designed entirely by me. Most of it was completed by me and my teacher together."

"Who is your teacher?" asked Mao Lilan.

"My teacher is Yashiro Hideto, the chief designer of this ship and the husband of the president of Yashiro Shipbuilding..."

Hearing the familiar name, Suzuki Sonoko, a science popularizer for the upper class, began to spread science again.

"I know this man. He once designed the 'Shabnis' for our Suzuki Group."

"Xiaolan, you should still remember that this is the ship that held the 60th anniversary celebration of the Suzuki Group!"

Mao Lilan was stunned. She did remember this incident, but she didn't remember it very clearly.

Qin Zhibo looked at Mao Lilan's confused expression and remembered something.

Previously, the Suzuki Group held its 60th anniversary celebration on the Sabnis, and Kaito Kidd also appeared, disguising himself as Ran Mouri, trying to steal the "Dark Star" of the Suzuki family.

However, the scale of that ship at that time was much smaller than this Aphrodite ship.

"You are talking about Shub-Niggurath. That ship is one of the teacher's most proud works..."

"Sabnikov?" Sonoko was a little confused. "Isn't it the Sabnikov?"

Akiyoshi Miwako smiled and explained: "Originally, the teacher wanted to call it this name when he was designing it, but later Suzuki thought that the name was too long and the meaning was not easy to understand, so it was shortened to 'Shabnis'."

"When this ship was built, the teacher originally wanted to name it Shub-Niggurath, but it was rejected by the eighth president, and the name 'Aphrodite' was adopted instead."

Aphrodite is the goddess of love and beauty in ancient Greek mythology and the highest symbol of female beauty.

Conan, who was sitting opposite, asked curiously: "Why is your teacher so obsessed with this name? Is there any meaning behind it?"

Akiyoshi Miwako hesitated for a second. "I don't know the details, but I heard from the teacher that it was the name of a certain 'Supreme Mother Goddess'..."

"It's a pity that the teacher didn't make it to the maiden voyage of this ship. It's really sad."

Suzuki Sonoko was stunned and quickly asked, "What happened to Mr. Yashiro Hideto?"

"Well..."

Akiyoshi Miwako hesitated for a moment, glanced at Qin Zhibo and Maori Kogoro who were present, and still said it.

"It was an accident. The teacher unfortunately died in a car accident not long ago..."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Only Qin Zhibo felt a little strange when he heard this.

It didn't die early or late, but it just happened that the ship it was designed for died just when it was about to set off on its maiden voyage.

Generally speaking, in this kind of situation, coupled with the presence of Death Conan, it can basically be determined to be a case.
