I was in Conan, and after picking up Xiao Ai, I was chased by Hongzi.

The dim yellow lights, various strange furnishings, and the crowds of people in exaggerated costumes created a terrifying atmosphere surrounding the place.

The bartender turned the wine glass gracefully and handed the beautiful Miss Suzuki a glass of special orange juice.

\"Thanks.\"

She turned around and saw Mouri Kogoro staring at the center of the venue, "I didn't expect that there would be so many people coming to this party."

"Really..."

Before he finished speaking, the lights went out and the entire cabin fell into darkness.

At the moment when everyone was surprised, the candles placed around were lit one after another.

Suzuki Sonoko sat on a high round stool, her slender legs swinging, "It's finally about to begin."

As the candlelight lit up the cabin, the curtains were violently pulled to both sides, and strange howls sounded in the center of the venue.

A pirate captain from the 17th century stood on the elevator and gradually rose up, like a ghost.

There were also strange words in his mouth:

"All the monsters wandering on the demonic path of Hades."

"We welcome you all to the ghost ship tonight - the Ghost of the Sea."

"I am the ghost piloting this ship, Captain Gold."

"There is still one hour before the dinner, so let me first ask everyone to find the symbol that has the same fate as yours."

"——Find six other people who have the same imprint as you."

"Same engraving?" Mouri Kogoro tilted his head.

"It's the Tarot cards," Suzuki Sonoko stroked her skirt and turned around. "Didn't you also get them when you got on the boat? Maybe he wanted to group people who got the same card into a group. Okay. It’s convenient to play some games later.”

"Ah?" Mouri Kogoro took out the card he just got in confusion, "You mean this card with XV written on it and a goat drawn on it."

He smiled and said, "Then we are all members of the Goat Team."

Medusa, whom he had seen just now, came over and took out the same card as him, "That's not a goat. That XV means 15 in Roman letters. As for the card name, it's The Devil, which is the devil card."

"So this is ah……"

"Furthermore," Medusa looked at the venue, "the reason why guests are divided into groups is not just for playing games. This party is also a film screening event."

"Selection?" Suzuki Sonoko raised her head obediently.

"You should know that there is a movie called The Voyage of the Ghost Captain that is released every summer."

"Well," Mouri Kogoro half-squinted his eyes speechlessly, "it means that as long as someone does something bad, a ghost ship full of monsters will come to his movie."

"Then if I perform well, I can also act in a movie!" Suzuki Sonoko pointed at herself, with excitement on her face.

"Yes," Medusa walked slowly to her side, "This party is already held for the fourth time. The staff of the film team will mingle with the guests every year and observe each guest carefully."

Mouri Kogoro smiled, "I see, because guests often play the same monster at the same time. In this case, it will be much easier to make choices after being divided into several groups."

"So, everyone wants to express themselves as much as possible." Medusa pointed to a few people not far away, "For example, the werewolf who keeps roaring at the moon, the Hunchback of Notre Dame who always performs mime like a robot, There is also the mummy who always remains silent when greeting others.

However, even though they say they are looking for people for the movie, most of them are supporting actors who work behind the scenes of the protagonist.

Even these supporting characters have to wear exquisite makeup, which costs a lot of money for production.

If you find supporting actors who are willing to appear in the movie and show off your looks and acting skills, you can save a lot of money.

Moreover, using this ghost ship that will appear in the movie to hold events can also achieve the effect of promoting the movie. "

After a while, the skeleton man beat the gongs and drums to signal that the time was up.

The ghost captain also appeared in the center of the venue again and shouted:

"Alright! Monsters! It's time to sail!"

……

"Hello, this is Dr. Ali's house."

Haihara Ai, who was in the living room, answered the phone, and the voice of Dr. Shinde sounded from the other side.

"I'm really sorry to bother you so late. Doctor, is he here?"

"He's not here," Haibara Ai paced in the living room with his pockets in his pockets. "I think he went somewhere with Edogawa-kun."

"Huh? But I heard their voices."

"Well," she casually sat on the sofa and pinched the mask on her face, "that's the sound of the tape, but I don't know what they are doing. Speaking of which, what can I do for you?"

"Actually, I made this call to find you." Doctor Shinde took the report on the table in his hand and said in a gentle tone, "Because last time I heard you say that your cold has not gotten better, I thought about letting you go. Check it out in a well-equipped hospital.

So, I contacted a doctor I knew, but he had to go on a business trip, so he was relatively free tonight.

That's why I called so late. Is it convenient to pick you up now?

After a while, I'll call Dr. Ali again.

But it's okay if you don't want to go. "

The gentle voice and constant consideration for her made Hui Yuan Ai let down his guard.

The bright full moon outside the window lit up the moonlight, and she lowered her eyes slightly:

"I don't care. Although I'm not happy that you make your own decisions, it's quite boring to look after the house alone."

"Great, then it's decided." Doctor Xinde seemed to be relieved and happy that she was willing to see a doctor. "I will arrive in about an hour, so you can prepare first and set off when I arrive. .”

"I see."

"See you in an hour then."

After hanging up the phone, Haiyuan Ai put the handheld phone back to its original position and walked towards the window. The moonlight spread in from the window, and the shadow under his feet was gradually lengthened.

What no one knew was that there was another person listening behind this call.

Judy, who has short blond hair, has slender legs, and her toes are as soft as grains and are painted with red nail polish.

She took off her headphones and looked at the photo of Miyano Shiho in her hand, with a smile on her lips.

……

On the dark dock, a cool breeze blew lightly on the extremely calm sea.

On the lighthouse, the extremely distant light shines on the sea, guiding the ship's return direction.

"Calvados, how are you doing there?"

"The preparation is complete, everything is as you wish."

"I believe in your abilities."

Calvados sat gently in the shadow, the sparks from the cigarette butt shone red, and wisps of gray smoke swirled into the air.

"At your service, dear Belmode."
