Chapter 12 12. Cruise Ship at Sea 1

"We are so lucky. We happen to meet them returning to the main island today! Not only will it not delay our trip, but we can also ride on such a luxurious cruise ship!" Xiaolan couldn't help but sigh as she lay on a lounge chair on the top floor of the cruise ship, basking in the sun and drinking soda.

"That's right. So next time you miss the boat, don't worry. You can always go back." Izumi Rina agreed. They were indeed lucky.

"But it's so strange that they have so few people and they can come out with such a big cruise ship."

"Hey, they are rich, who can understand that?" Although it is indeed a bit strange, please don't continue to be strange, little detective, otherwise their luck will become someone else's misfortune...

There was almost no one on the luxury cruise ship with an open-air swimming pool on the top except for the service staff and bodyguards. They were said to be on vacation as well.

The ship owner's name was Matsubara Hidenori, who claimed to be doing some idle job in his own consortium.

As for the rest of us...

"Thanks to the good relationship between the minister and Mr. Matsubara, we have the opportunity to ride on such a luxurious ship," the young man who came up with a camera probably heard the conversation between Conan and Rina Yonogi and said, "But with so few people riding on such a big ship, I really don't know what these rich people think, haha."

"Mr. Songyuan is so kind that he even brought us along," Xiaolan asked, "So are you all from the same club?"

"Almost. Little sister, guess what club we are in?"

"It must be the photography club. Big brother, you are holding a camera!" Xiao Ke couldn't stand other men chatting with Xiao Lan, so he chose to take the initiative.

"But didn't you bring cameras? We're all out here for fun, so we'll definitely bring cameras."

"Although it is common to bring a camera when traveling, you are also wearing a photography vest and carrying an extra lens bag. Judging from the way you walk, the bag is quite heavy, and I'm afraid you have more than one set of lenses. So, brother, you are most likely a photography enthusiast." Conan explained.

"Of course, this is not enough to prove that you are a club. The most important thing is that before I boarded the ship, I saw another older brother taking pictures on the balcony. Although I couldn't see clearly what camera he was using, the lens was obviously very long, and not something that ordinary people would use. So there are at least two photography enthusiasts in your group. In addition, you have obvious sunburn marks on your body, so the probability of being a photography club that is more active outdoors and during the day is much higher than an astronomy club, a film club, or something like that."

"Of course, if you have set up some unpopular club like a travel club, then there is nothing I can do. But you shook the camera subconsciously when you asked the question, so it has more to do with the camera. Not to mention that you obviously didn't expect to use this question to embarrass others. When you refuted me the second time, you didn't notice the smug look of me guessing wrong, but more of the surprise of being guessed right, which means that I did guess right!"

"Little brother, you are amazing! You have noticed so many details and thought so much about them!"

Not only the strange young man, but even Rina and Xiaolan, who were used to how smart this kid was, were stunned. Wasn't this just a random guess? Why could he say so much?

"Of course, I'm a detective!"

"Hello, little detective. Let me introduce myself. My name is Nakamura Kaku. I'm a junior at Beihua University and I'm indeed a member of the photography club."

"Hello, my name is Edogawa Conan."

"A first-year student at Teitan Elementary School." Seeing that Conan's introduction was so brief, Yonogi Rina couldn't help but help him complete the information. Well, this is the only way to make it complete. "You don't have a reasoning club, so you should join the football club?"

"Yes, Conan is also very good at playing soccer, but he broke the net on the first day of school. The teacher specifically told me to teach Conan not to kick so hard!"

Ah, hey, that's not his fault. It was the first time he used the foot-strengthening shoes invented by the doctor, and he only used the mid-range. He didn't expect the power to be so strong. It was unexpectedly strong in some places, worthy of the doctor's invention.

"Wow, Edogawa is amazing. He has both great intelligence and physical strength."

After Nogi Rina and Ran introduced their names to Nakamura Kaku, they listened to the two chatting. Edogawa Conan had countless questions in his little head, and Nakamura Kaku was probably captured by the detective, answering every question and fulfilling every request.

After exchanging a look with Nogi Rina and Xiaolan, they couldn't help but smile, and lay down on the recliner more relaxedly. It was really great to have someone to deal with an energetic child like Conan!

……

"Brother, you said before that it was kind of, so not everyone is in the same club."

"Yeah, there seem to be only three people from the club, oh, so few, but there weren't many of us anyway. Master Songyuan is the big money sponsor, and he's also good friends with the director. Sakuragawa is the director's girlfriend, and although she's not from the club, she's familiar with everyone. The other one is Miss Baisha, a model who the director knows, and she's actually been out with us a few times, so she's not a stranger."

"Only six of you came out!?" Although I thought it was a small number because I couldn't see anyone, six is ​​really too few! "Is your club small? The photography club should be quite popular, so it shouldn't be difficult to recruit people."

Nakamura Kaku scratched his head. "There are quite a lot of people here, right? Maybe we are the only ones walking close together? It would be quieter if there were fewer people? I don't understand what the minister is thinking."

"Then the brother I saw taking pictures earlier must be your minister."

"He was taking pictures on the balcony of his room. It should be him. Mr. Songyuan seemed to have been in the public area before. Only the director said early that he wanted to go back to the room to rest because he said he went out for a long time last night to take pictures of the night view and didn't get enough sleep."

"He's going alone? He really does like photography."

"What do you mean alone! I clearly saw Shirasa Miyu sneaking out last night. I don't know where that girl was taking pictures of people last night!" A capable girl in sportswear and a high ponytail came up. It was the girlfriend of Minister Amase Masahei, Sakuragawa Yoshizuki.

"Sakuragawa-san, didn't we all see the pictures the Buchou took last night? They were very well taken. When you're concentrating on taking pictures, you definitely don't have the energy to do anything else."

"Nakamura, do you think I should believe what you said?" Sakuragawa Yoshitsuki's smile did not reach her eyes, and her face seemed to be covered by a layer of shadow.

"I can't trust him now. Maybe I will break up with him when I get back. I wanted to come up to get some fresh air. I won't spoil your fun. You guys continue chatting." After saying that, she turned and left.

"Is Shirasa Miyu the sister standing on the first deck wearing a thick coat?" After Sakuragawa Yoshizuki left, Conan continued to ask Nakamura Kaku.

"It's...it's her."

"Did she and the Minister really do something to offend that sister?"

"This... How would I know this?"

"Although Miss Baisha is wearing a very thick coat, she looks like she has a good figure. Inviting a very beautiful person of the opposite sex to go out together can easily stimulate your girlfriend, right?" Little Conan made a super manly voice.

"Yes...right. Little friend, you really know a lot."

"Conan really knows a lot. Do you have a girlfriend? Is it Ayumi who went out with you before? I saw Ayumi kiss you last time. That's why you share photos every day on the island, right?"

"No, that's not the case, Sister Xiaolan, I'm just an elementary school student!"

Lan, I only love you!

I originally wanted to write about the cases of the Ryūmoto family, and generally follow the manga, but I couldn't continue. It's a more complicated case and it's hard to miss clues. If I write too much, it will be no different from the original. I'll try out original cases. If it's still acceptable, I'll write original cases that are not the main story.

When it comes to cruise ships, the first thing that comes to mind is the tragedy on the Nile, so there will be some similar things, but the travel time here is very short, so there is only one murder case, not many people, and it is not complicated.

I started thinking about writing about Xiaolan chatting with someone, because the case of the Lu Ben family was about Xiaolan and Xia Jiang chatting. But it turned out that it was a boy who came up, so Xiao Ke grabbed the pen and went up himself.

The case took longer to write than I thought. If anyone is reading it, you can wait a few days. After all, I can't update much recently.
