People in Conan, aiming to be the idol of the whole nation

At the same time, an old man with white hair and beard and wearing a kimono came up. His face was full of eagerness, which did not match the description of Usomoto Gozo that Usomoto Kitaro had given him before. Behind him, there was Usomoto Kitaro and a young man with pockmarks on his face in a suit. When he stepped onto the deck, his eyes were fixed on Xia Jiang.

"Mr. Yumoto, long time no see. What a coincidence! I didn't expect to see you on Moon Shadow Island. Sorry to bother you!"

Seeing the person coming, Fujie Akiyoshi stretched out his right hand, and Uzumoto Gozo held Fujie's hand tightly without any hesitation.

"No trouble, no trouble. If you are free, you can come to the island to attend our wedding ceremony!"

The excessive enthusiasm of Gozo Uzumoto startled many members of the Uzumoto family. Judging from their expressions, it was obvious that Gozo Uzumoto's demeanor was very rare.

"That's not necessary. I still have some things to deal with in Tokyo. I will send someone to deliver a gift to express my gratitude. As for the project between the Tsumoto Group and Fujie Films not long ago, I will take it to heart and handle it well!"

Hearing what Fujie Akiyoshi said, Usumoto Gozo's old face was full of smiles.

Just as Fujie Akiyoshi and Usumoto Gozo were greeting each other, the pockmarked-faced man at the back set up an easel and started painting in the direction of Xia Jiang.

Only when he paints the goddess in his heart can he find a little peace in his heart. It would be even better if he could do that...

"Are you painting? It looks pretty good!"

The bored Maori Kogoro came over and admired the painting of the pockmarked face. Conan also came over and found that the outline of the person drawn on it was very similar to Miss Xia Jiang.

"This is my son, Ichiro Uemoto. He is a painter of some fame. Last year, his paintings were picked up and published by several newspapers. He had a chance to participate in a painting competition, but unfortunately there was a problem with his work."

When talking about the problem, Uzumoto Kitaro looked at Uzumoto Gozo with some fear. Fortunately, the other party did not notice that he was communicating with Fujie Akiyoshi, and he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing that someone noticed Usamoto Ichiro's paintings, Usamoto Kitaro took the lead in introducing them to Maori Kogoro and Ran. When talking about his son, Usamoto Kitaro smiled proudly.

"No, my painting skills are still not up to par."

Ichiro Uzumoto said modestly, while looking at Natsue Uzumoto to see his reaction. Unfortunately, the other party kept communicating with Xiaolan.

Takeshi Uzumoto was following her all the time, which made Ichiro Uzumoto's eyes flash with an inexplicable emotion.

"Hmph! You are just like your useless father, who only draws nonsense here all day long. With your useless talent, you won't be able to draw anything good even if you are given another ten years. Not everyone has the painting talent like Mr. Fujie. As his father, you should also talk to him. It's better to give up the impossible dream sooner or later!"

At this time, after talking with Fujie Akiyoshi, Uzumaki Gozo was about to leave. After hearing the conversation between the two people, he did not show any good face and spoke rudely to Uzumaki Ichiro and his father.

After hearing this, Ichiro Yamoto was so frightened that he accidentally broke the charcoal pencil in his hand.

"Yes, yes, I will remind you."

Uzumoto Kitaro said humbly.

"Alas, the situation at home is just so embarrassing. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Fujie. I have some personal matters to take care of, so I won't bother you anymore. Xia Jiang, please entertain Mr. Fujie for me. Ryūmoto Takeshi, come with me to the room!"

After talking to Xia Jiang, Gao Zang looked at Takeshi with a cold face and called him over. Before leaving, he changed his face to Fujie Akiyoshi. If you said he learned how to change his face in Sichuan, he would believe it.

"Yes!"

Takeshi Ryūmoto did not dare to resist and followed him.

"If you weren't here, I'm afraid my grandfather would be furious again."

Xia Jiang said helplessly, a look of fatigue appearing on his face.

"It's hard for you too."

On the other side, Uzumoto Kitaro breathed a sigh of relief after Uzumoto Gozo left.

"Don't worry, dear. Dad is so old now. He will be gone in a few years. By then, everything in the Yuben Group will be ours!"

Mariko Usamoto came out in a kimono. Her name really affected her son, Ichiro Usamoto, whose face was covered with pockmarks. I don't know whether to say this woman is honest or just plain stupid. She actually said this bluntly in front of her family and outsiders.

"Haha, Aunt, you are so naive."

A young woman in black, revealing clothing came out, and next to her, a yellow-haired man who looked like a gangster was hugging her. That was her husband, Ryuo Uzumoto, who, like Uzumoto Kitaro, was a son-in-law of the Uzumoto family.

Looking at Uzumoto Mariko, Uzumoto Akiie sneered.

"Qiu Jiang, you really do know something!"

When Mariko Usamoto heard what Akiie Usamoto said, her face changed instantly, as if she had already known that Akiie Usamoto would say something like this.

Uzumoto Akie came over, approached Mariko and whispered something in her ear, which made Mariko Uzumoto look even uglier.

"What happened? My father was very angry after eating my French food. Why did he suddenly run out happily?"

A man in a suit walked onto the deck, and he seemed to be very confused about what had just happened to Gozo Uemoto.

"Oh, Dad heard that Mr. Fujie was a guest on the cruise ship, so he happily ran out to greet him."

Uzumoto Kitaro explained to the man in a suit, Uzumoto Shoji.

"It's Mr. Fujie. I had the honor of meeting you before in Paris, France!"

When Usamoto Shoji saw Fujie Akiyoshi, he immediately understood why Usamoto Gozo was so happy. It turned out that this great god had run onto the boat.

"Mr. Uzumoto Shoji, it turns out to be you."

When he went abroad before, Fujie Akiyoshi took advantage of his free time to visit many places. Among them was Paris, France, where he met many people who had roles in Conan, including Shoji Usamoto. At that time, he also ate in his restaurant, and the food was quite good, but I heard that it was difficult to maintain due to poor management.

After a short chat, Usamoto Mariko sneaked in. Everyone returned to the restaurant to finish their meal, and Fujie Akiyoshi and the other four sat together with Usamoto Natsue.

. . . . . .

In Gozo Uzumoto's room, Takeshi Uzumoto followed Gozo Uzumoto in.

"At the beginning, I wanted to make Xia Jiang choose you, firstly because of the special circumstances at that time, and secondly because you performed very well when you were with Xia Jiang's father Jiang Yi, who has passed away."

Gozo Uzumoto went straight to the point.

“No, no. I would not be able to do what I do now, thanks to Mr. Shouichi’s guidance.”

Being praised by Gozo Ryoumoto, Takeshi Ryoumoto became shy on the spot.

"You look so shy, just like your father, Zainari Nagao. Am I right, Zainari Takehiko?"

Hashimoto Gozo glared angrily, as if he wanted to see through Hashimoto Takeshi.

"Wha...what!"

When Takeshi Ryūmoto heard this familiar name, he was instantly scared to death.

Outside the house, an eavesdropping Xiao Hei smiled evilly after hearing the conversation. Then, he quietly left while no one else was around.

Inside the restaurant.

The old butler placed some tableware on the side and handed juice to several people.

Xia Jiang found a card from somewhere and used it to introduce the members of the Usumoto family who were on the passenger ship today to Fujie Akiyoshi and others.

On the other side, Usamoto Ryuo and Usamoto Ichiro arrived late and sat down. The old butler found that Usamoto Gozo had not appeared yet, so he went to his room to look for him.

"Oh, by the way, Xiaolan, do you have someone you like?"

Xia Jiang asked Xiaolan curiously, and his eyes seemed to look at Fujie Akiyoshi intentionally or unintentionally.

"what!"

Except for Fujie Akiyoshi, Xiaolan and the other two were shocked when they heard this.

"How is that possible? Xiaolan is still a child."

Kogoro spoke first.

"But in Japan, girls can get married when they are sixteen. It shouldn't be a big problem for Xiaolan to have someone she likes at her age, right?"

Xia Jiang said.

"Humph! How do you know if I have someone I like? Dad, you don't know me!"

Xiaolan refuted Kogoro's answer, her face blushing and she turned her head.

"Sister Xiaolan, who do you like?"

Conan said anxiously, he didn't hear Xiaolan say that she liked Kudo Shinichi in person like in the original book. So when Xiaolan said that she had someone she liked, he was very anxious and expectant.

"Hey, isn't that brat Kudo Shinichi?"

Kogoro said angrily.

"Shinichi?"

When Xiaolan heard this familiar name, she acted as if she was reminiscing. This expression caught Conan's eyes and made him very happy, and a shy look appeared on his face.

[I knew it, Xiaolan is really...]

"Shinichi, I haven't contacted you for a long time. If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten about him. I don't like someone like him who would abandon me when he sees a case!"

It was not known whether what Xiaolan said was in anger or sincere, but Conan felt a chill in his heart when he heard it. The whole person seemed to have turned into a gray statue, without any life at all.

"Conan, what's wrong with you? Do you look a little unwell?"

Fujie Akiyoshi asked with concern, but in fact he was very happy. It seems that with his interference, Kudo Shinichi's position in Xiaolan's heart is far less than that in the original plot.

"It's okay. I just suddenly remembered that I still have homework to finish."

Conan made up an excuse to cover it up, and Fujie Akiyoshi didn't ask any more questions.

[Oh no, I've been investigating the Black Organization these days. I forgot to report to Xiaolan that I'm safe. Xiaolan must be angry with me because of this. If I can give her a call later, it shouldn't be a big problem! ]

Conan tried to comfort himself.

At this time, Takeshi Ryūmoto walked over haggardly, and Xia Jiang stood up and asked.

"Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I just thought of something."

"Oh no, something happened to the master!"

The old butler's voice suddenly came into the restaurant. Everyone was stunned at first and then ran quickly towards the source of the voice.

When I arrived, I found the old butler looking at the room with horror on his face.

Uzumoto Gozo fell inside, his belly was bright red, his mouth was wide open, his eyes were glaring with disbelief, he must have died with his eyes open!

. . . . . .

There should be more at night, after all, we have to stay up all night.
