Conan: Live in the Maori Detective Agency at the beginning

"That's right, but he escaped long ago." Maori Kogoro nodded and said, "Inspector Samezaki is looking for him now."

"But, this is strange." Hattori Heiji stroked his chin and recalled: "I remember that this guy was already dead."

"After the case broke out, a piece of his clothing with bullet marks and blood stains was washed up on the shore. My dad told me that."

"He is not dead at all." As soon as Hattori Heiji finished speaking, the steady and powerful voice of Samezaki Shimaharu sounded behind them.

Everyone turned to look, only to see Samezaki Shimaji walking up the stairs step by step, and slowly said: "That shirt was just a trap for him to escape the police."

"It's impossible for someone like him to die so easily in a place like that." Samezaki Shimaharu said as he glanced at them.

Conan, who was sitting on the fence, Xingchen, who was leaning on the side with his head in his hands, as well as Maori Kogoro and Hattori Heiji, all followed his steps and looked at him.

Samezaki Shimaji walked slowly to the bench at the edge of the deck and said in a deep voice, "Little brother, I thought he must be happily counting money with his group of brothers over there at this moment."

"I didn't expect that he would be on this ship." Samezaki Shimaji said slowly while sitting on a bench.

"But the statute of limitations for that case expired five years ago. What good will it do even if we find him?" Kogoro Mouri walked over and said.

Xingchen and Conan followed and looked at them curiously.

"Please, have you forgotten that the statute of limitations for murder is fifteen years, but the civil code stipulates that it is still the legal prosecution period within twenty years. If the parties ask them to pay back the money, they must return it." Hattori Heiji walked behind them and said.

Xingchen touched his chin. Although he was not familiar with such legal matters, there was such a saying in his country in his previous life, but it seemed that this saying disappeared after the case was filed.

I don't know what the laws are like in Japan.

"That's right, but unfortunately, Ye Caisan, who is wanted by the police, has already passed the statute of limitations. However, his three brothers are still within the statute of limitations."

"As long as we can catch Ye Caisan and find out the whereabouts of those brothers, we should be able to get most of the money back." Samezaki Shimaji finally added that he estimated that the three brothers might have already sneaked onto the ship.

"In that case, let's go to Ogasawara and look for them together with the police there." Maori Kogoro said with a smile: "There is a vast ocean here, it won't be easy for them to escape."

"That won't work. We don't have time. I told you today is a special day." Samezaki Shimaji scolded, then he looked at the vast ocean and said slowly: "That case happened twenty years ago tomorrow. After twelve o'clock tonight, the three of them will be acquitted."

"Say goodbye to this life of escape." Samezaki Shimaharu said unwillingly.

"That means it will take more than two hours." Kogoro Mori said hurriedly, looking at the watch in his hand.

Conan narrowed his eyes and thought to himself that the statute of limitations had passed.

"Huh? Hattori, you're here too." Ran Mouri learned where they were from the crew and came here to look for them. She was surprised when she saw Hattori Heiji.

"Oh, Nai-chan (probably means "young sister" in the mouth of Osaka people), long time no see." Hattori Heiji tilted his head and shouted when he saw Mouri Ran running towards him.

"What a coincidence that you are also on this ship." Mao Lilan said happily.

"Yes, I was sleeping soundly. But the uncle dug me out." Hattori Heiji pointed at Mouri Kogoro and Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but stand up and glare at him.

"Then, let's come with Ye too." asked Mao Lilan.

"Why is that woman here? She's not related to me!" Hattori Heiji muttered, and then looked at Conan and Mao Lilan and continued: "We are not like you, sticking together all day long."

Conan's face changed when he heard this, and he quickly crossed his hands, signaling Hattori Heiji not to continue.

Xingchen was waving his hands to cheer him on, and even lip-syncing. Although he didn't say anything out loud, Conan could see that he was clearly shouting the five words "Come on, say it out loud".

"Which side are you from?" Conan turned his head to look at Xingchen next to him, looked at him with resentful eyes, and couldn't help shouting.

"Well..." Xingchen turned his head away from Conan, whistling as if it had nothing to do with him. This made Conan's eyebrows jump wildly, and he couldn't help but mutter inwardly in annoyance: This guy!

"Ah, who are you talking about?" Mao Lilan asked in confusion.

"No, I mean that you two, father and daughter, have a very good relationship." Hattori Heiji quickly made up an excuse.

"Why are you nagging me?" Kogoro Mouri complained.

"By the way, Uncle Samezaki, have you found that person with the black shadow?" Mouri Ran walked up to Samezaki Shimaji and asked.

"No, I'm planning to find it again with Mori now." Samezaki Shimaharu shook his head.

"Then, let's go to the restaurant downstairs first." Ran Mouri grabbed Conan and Xingchen in one hand, and pushed Hattori Heiji back with the other.

"Wait a minute, I'm not going. We also have to stay here to help find people." Hattori Heiji said reluctantly.

"What's wrong? There's such a dangerous person lurking on the ship, and you're going to leave me alone." Mao Lilan said with her hands on her hips, dissatisfied.

"No, I...haha..." Hattori Heiji laughed awkwardly.

"Then I'll wait for you, Dad." Maori Ran turned around and said to Maori Kogoro and Samezaki Shimaharu.

"Okay." Kogoro Mori nodded in response.

Little did he know that her words and appearance brought back memories of Samezaki Shimaji from 20 years ago. He widened his eyes and replayed the events of that time over and over in his mind.

He closed his eyes, suppressed his inner anger, and spat out the word "damn" from his throat.

"Are you feeling unwell, Inspector Samezaki?" asked Kogoro Mori with concern.

"No, I'm fine." Samezaki Shimaharu was brought back to reality by Mori Kogoro's words. He was sweating profusely without realizing it.

"Okay, then in my opinion, we should look for it from top to bottom in order," suggested Kogoro Mouri.

"Okay." Samezaki Shimaji nodded in response. He looked at the dark ocean and silently swore in his heart that he must find the shadow planner, Ye Caisan, before twelve o'clock!

the other side.

Hattori Heiji realized that he seemed to have not had dinner, so he hurriedly asked the restaurant waiter for a meal.

Xingchen and the other two ordered a drink each. Xingchen also ordered a special cake. He thought: This was the dessert that was supposed to be served tonight, it was all Conan's fault that he didn't get to eat the dessert after dinner.

"I didn't expect that you, Hattori, would also like dolphins." Mao Lilan exclaimed, with a hint of surprise and unexpectedness in her words.

Hattori Heiji put the salmon sandwich into his mouth and asked in confusion after hearing what Mao Lilan said: "Dolphin?"
