Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 196 Three Kudo Shinichi?

"Well, is that Mr. Mori Kogoro? I'm so lucky. This is the second time I've met a real detective..."

On the side of the boat at the outlet of Kubado Port, the management personnel in charge of registration looked calmly at the Maori detective who reported his name, and filled him in the registration book.

"I'm really sorry, I'm a little excited, you can get on the boat."

Taking out the letter sent home with the invitation, Mouri Kogoro leaned into the staff's ear and asked quietly: "Well, will something really happen tonight? The darkness written on this letter Shrouded.”

"Eh, the darkness engulfed? This... the invitation letter was indeed sent by us, but it seems that this letter is not."

The management staff suddenly remembered something, he asked Mori Kogoro to wait for a while, and then shouted to the back: "The lady just now, the person you were waiting for has arrived."

The person who is waiting is supposed to be talking about me, right?
Mori Kogoro bypassed the management staff and looked behind him, then stared helplessly at Suzuki Sonoko wearing a big hat: "I said, why are you here too?"

Sonoko, who was dressed as a witch, snorted, holding her chest and staring dissatisfied at Uncle Maori in front of her.

"Uncle, you sent a message to Xiaolan saying that you want to attend the party. She doesn't want to see you now, so she asked me to help you to prevent uncle from getting involved."

Really, how could there be such an outrageous person, leaving his wife in London and running back alone?

"And uncle, what are you dressed up for? Wearing a suit, wearing an afro wig, and holding a gun in your hand?"

With his hands on his hips, Mouri Kogoro waved his hands: "Yuji dropped this at the Moori Detective Agency. I didn't know what to make up, so I wore it."

Handing the pistol to Yuanzi, the uncle puffed up his chest and said, "Of course a young lady like you won't recognize it. This is a competitor of Ming Ding Ding, although it is probably just a fake gun..."

"Whether it's a competitor or a loser, that's fine, let's get on board too."

Sonoko walked ahead carefully through the people, and hurriedly got the letter back, and Kogoro Mori also chased after him.

"Senior, that person is really strange, he actually dressed up as Emiya Kiritsugu."

A woman also dressed as a staff member came down from the captain. She looked back at Kogoro Mori several times and stood behind the welcome table.

The manager who had just registered Kogoro Mori raised his eyebrows and turned the register to the front page.

"It's nothing, you don't know, just now there were people dressed as Inuyasha, obviously we are a Halloween party..."

Why so many cosplays?
As he was on duty for the second time to register guests, he stretched and gave up his seat to his juniors, intending to take a rest.

Seeing another person dressed as a mummy coming in front of him, the younger generation bent down to salute and was pleasantly surprised when the mummy wrote down his name.

"Could it be that you are just talking about a high school detective..."

Looking at the mummy's leaving figure, the manager flipped through the signatures on the previous page and suddenly paused.She kept looking back and forth and blinking.

How... there are three Kudo Shinichi?

.........

Sitting in front of the bar on the ship, Mouri Kogoro and Sonoko waited for the bartender to mix the drinks and looked at the people around them.

"It's really amazing. I didn't expect so many people to come to so many parties."

The bartender poured the wine in the jug into the quilt, then pushed him down in front of Mori Kogoro: "It's been a long time, you ordered Belmode."

"Really, even if you add some ice cubes, you still have to put it in the pot and shake it around?"

This is a sense of ritual, this uncle is really...

Just as Sonoko was about to speak, the candles on the boat were suddenly lit together, startling all the "monsters" attending the party.

"The party is about to start." The eldest lady suddenly became excited: "Hey! Uncle, you are not the only one cosplaying. Look, there are Inuyasha and Usopp on the deck."

With the bang of the loudspeaker on the ship, the big wooden door in the corner opened suddenly, and a glowing skeleton captain walked out from inside, yelling Ola Ola.

"Wandering on the road of the underworld, wandering all kinds of ghosts and ghosts, welcome to my ghost ship Sea Ghost, I am Captain Roger who drives this ghost ship!"

Standing in the corner of the deck, Chianti and Cohen, who were now dressed as Japanese ghosts, glued a small plastic horn on their heads very perfunctorily, sipping cocktails.

Looking at the calm sea, Cohen poked the shaking horn with his hand, and there was a slap. Because the glue lost its stickiness, the horn on his head fell to the ground and rolled twice, just in time to be stepped on by a werewolf.

"I'm so sorry, this..." The werewolf sheepishly picked up the crushed horn and returned it to Cohen.

"I said, will we be too casual..."

"It can't be helped, who told Gin to subsidize us only [-] yen. I bought this invitation letter from an extra actor for [-] yen."

Cohn reached out and pulled off the Chianti horn and glued it to his head, and threw the crushed one into the sea.

"Ten thousand yen, two plastic cones?"

Chianti immediately felt guilty, she stroked her hair, her eyes wandering.

She wouldn't tell Cohen that she even paid [-] yen for Patching...

.........

"The Skeleton Pirate King said he wanted to find six comrades based on the engravings. Could the engraving be referring to a Tarot card?"

From his pocket, he took out the demon card that was handed out when he boarded the boat just now, and squinted his eyes to look around.

"Looks like I can go to the party with the famous Mouri Kogoro."

A woman made up as Medusa stood in front of the two Sonokos, holding the chain and sickle in her hands with some embarrassment.

Seeing her purple hair, meow-shaped cloak and white stockings, Sonoko opened her mouth and shouted, "Mother Shinichi?"

Why this Medusa?Don't you all know it's a Halloween party?
"Hello, Sonoko, Yuji wants me to dress like this no matter what. There's nothing you can do about it."

Yukiko found that Mori Kogoro didn't seem to know the reason for the party, so she explained it clearly to him.

"This party is to select extras for The Voyage of the Dead Captain, which is released every summer together with Edogawa III: The Movie. Yuuji also got an invitation, but he didn't want to come, so he asked me to do it."

"So, Yuko seems to have said that she plans to buy the copyright of this movie recently and license it to the Suzuki Foundation to make games."

Sonoko took the juice from the bartender and delivered it to Yukiko.

"The movie crew will disguise themselves as monsters and infiltrate among us. In order to be selected, these extras will work hard to perform, so I can see you here drinking leisurely at a glance."

Also taking out the Devil Card, Yukiko looked at Mouri Kogoro, who was the same as herself, and touched Sonoko who was holding her arm.

"Let's look for it too, and see who those people who are like us are."

Speaking of which, what's that kid's card?

　Guess who these three guys are?
