early spring.The air carried the coldness of winter and the faint fragrance of cherry blossoms. Under the sky of □, a young girl ran rapidly at the lead.

【Hey, is this Miss Kudo Rika? 】

【I am, may I ask you are...】

The black twin ponytails fluttered slightly because of the rapid running, and the beautiful big obsidian-like eyes flashed anxiously.

[If you want to meet your brother Kudo Shinichi, come to xx port. 】

Kudo Rika stood at the destination, gasping heavily, looking at the large and luxurious cruise ship in front of her with doubtful eyes, picked up the mobile phone in her hand and called back n times.It was still the gentle female voice: "The number you dialed is an empty number."

"Lixiang." The dark-skinned boy wearing a peaked cap and casual clothes running behind the girl stopped her and told her, "Be careful."

"I see, Brother Heiji." Rika nodded.

The person who talked to her just now was the well-known high school student detective in Kansai - Hattori Heiji.

Rika looked at the short pupil with glasses behind the boy, and bit her lips: "Conan's words, it's still..."

"Excuse me, is this Ms. Kudo Rika?" A man in a tuxedo waiter asked politely and interrupted her.

Rika nodded cautiously.

"Follow me, please." With a gentleman's salute, he led the way.

In the well-decorated room, Li Xiang put on a white dress in front of the dressing mirror, and her childish and plain face always felt a little disobedient.

"Dangdang" knock on the door.

"Rika, it's me." Heiji's voice.

"Please come in."

Hattori Heiji and Conan both changed into the exquisite suits given to them by the waiter just now and walked in.

After being politely brought to this gorgeous cruise ship by the man in the black tuxedo waiter outfit, he arranged rooms for them and gave them the extra costumes prepared on the ship suitable for the banquet.

I asked a lot of questions along the way, and I just knew that this cruise ship was used by the Atobe Foundation to entertain guests. Many people from high society came tonight.The day and night trip ends with a stop at another port on the Japanese island.The reason why a waiter came to pick them up was because a guest called them and said that a friend was coming, which even slightly delayed the sailing time of the cruise ship.

"That person must be on the boat, but why..." What is the purpose of tricking her into the boat?Isn't it more likely to go undetected no matter what you do in a remote place?

Conan and Hattori Heiji looked at each other, puzzled.

"In short, be careful." Heiji said in a deep voice.The other side is in the dark, they are in the light, it is better not to act rashly.

"En." Rika nodded, squatted down slightly to look at Conan, but still said to Heiji: "Conan, please ask the waiter to send it back by speedboat. It's too dangerous for a child to stay here."

Conan's lips parted slightly, as if to say something.

Hattori Heiji raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you a child?"

"I can't escape," Rika stood up and looked at Hattori Heiji: "This is my brother's business." Although Rika is not as smart as her brother and is usually a little dull, she is definitely not an idiot.When I first received the call, my mind was indeed in a mess and I couldn't think at all.Now that they have gradually calmed down, they can probably guess that her brother is not in their hands, and they probably want to use her to plot against her brother.As for what she was plotting, Li Xiang vaguely felt that it was related to the investigation of her brother's disappearance for nearly a year.Naturally, he would not let go of this place that could help his brother.Although this cruise ship is big, it is always difficult for the other party to attack in crowded places. As long as their own safety is guaranteed, it is useless for them to use her to plot against her brother.

"Dangdang" knock on the door.

"Who?" Lixiang asked cautiously.

"Is it pear fragrance?" A familiar voice came from outside the door.

"Xiuyi?"

"Are the two of them really alright?" Rika put her hand in the arms of a handsome boy with light blue mid-length hair and sky blue eyes and asked him slightly.

Shuichi Jinguji, the only son of the Jinguji Group.Mrs. Jinguji and her mother are handkerchief acquaintances. The two children can be said to have been mixed together since childhood. In addition, Kudo Shinichi has been living in Jinguji's house for nearly a year since Kudo Shinichi disappeared. If the relationship between the two is not good, then Pure deception.Knowing that the party Shuichi was going to attend was on this cruise ship, Hattori Heiji handed Rika to him with great confidence, and planned to investigate around the cruise ship.Originally, Rika really wanted to keep Conan. After all, a child went to investigate with Hattori, and Rika always felt a little uneasy.However, Hattori insisted that children are more likely to be taken lightly, and took Conan away.It made Lixiang feel uneasy for a while.

"Well, trust them." Knowing the reason why they came here, Xiu Yi spontaneously acted as a flower protector: "The other party is hitting with your attention, and they will be safe." He pinched Li Xiang's tense little face.

Li Xiang thought for a while, calmed down slightly, and nodded.

The Jinguji family is engaged in the media industry, which can be said to be an industry that has to be in contact with all walks of life. Naturally, interpersonal relationships are not that simple.It was supposed to be his parents who came, but because of some foreign affairs, they could only let Xiu Yi come to this banquet.Although Xiuyi doesn't like socializing, since he's here, he still has to do what he should do.Immediately, he took Li Xiang to greet people around and talk about the scene.

Jinguji Xiuyi had just dismissed two close friends, and Lixiang looked at Xiuyi with eager eyes, and said impatiently: "This banquet, why..." Lixiang frowned slightly and bit her lips, as if she was looking for something suitable. vocabulary.

"They're all from the entertainment industry." That's why I feel that many of them are familiar: "Today's gathering is a contract between Atobe Group and LME Entertainment Company for some cooperation..." As soon as the words fell, the slight smile on his face revealed gentleness Once again replaced by a formulaic mask, greeting the visitor.

Li Xiang was next to her smiling face again, she can't socialize, but she can still do it with a smile.What I just said in my mouth kept flashing in my mind.

Could it be that the case my brother is investigating is related to someone in the entertainment industry?

"Come on, let me introduce two people to you." A gentle smile appeared on Xiu Yi's face again, which was completely different from the perfect fake smile just now.

"Keigo Atobe." A delicate boy with silver-purple hair in a white suit.

"Ninzu Yuuji." A boy in a black suit with dark blue mid-length hair and thin-rimmed glasses.

Rika raised her head and looked at the two people in front, with a bright smile on her face that was completely different from the stiff one just now: "It's the first time we meet, I'm Kudo Rika, please give me your advice." Just now, many people always pretended not to care. Xiuyi completely ignored Lixiang who was next to Xiang Xiuyi, and had no intention of introducing them at all, but now he introduced them to her.Li Xiang also understood that they should be regarded as people Xiu Yi cared about very much.Of course, the two people opposite her at the moment had the same idea as her.As for what aspects to think of, only they themselves know.

Atobe Keigo nodded slightly while holding the wine glass, as a greeting.Ninja Yushi said in a slightly magnetic voice: "Please take care of me."

"They are at the same school and grade as me, and they are freshmen at the beginning of school." I will call them seniors in the future.

Lixiang smiled and nodded, indicating that she knew.

"Senior Jinguji." A gentle and soft voice came.

Li Xiang raised her head, and saw a girl with light purple curly hair and eyes of the same color, delicate appearance, and graceful, walking towards this side.The three people around Jinguji Xiuyi nodded slightly to signal, their eyes were fixed on Jinguji Xiuyi.

Lixiang's brain, which had just turned into a group of fans, was quickly attracted by the thick atmosphere of gossip.She remembered the movie she had seen before, those who rushed out at this time were either people who had an unforgettable love, or people who were ambiguous with each other but had no results.The background is a piece of pink gossip light, and the eyes are shining between the two.Jinguji Xiuyi felt his hair straighten when she looked at him.Because Shuichi Jinguji has always been very self-sufficient, there is no gossip and gossip, and there is also the role definition of the admirer Passerby, which was directly ignored by her.

"Sister Matsumoto." Shuichi Jinguji looked at Matsumoto with an impeccable smile on his face, then lowered his head slightly and looked at Rika with genuine tenderness and doting in his eyes: "Didn't you say you were hungry just now? "

Lixiang raised her head with a silly expression, didn't she just take her to eat something?

A look of jealousy and hatred drifted over immediately, making Lixiang feel uncomfortable now.In this case, shouldn't she leave her as the best supporting actress and walk gently towards the heroine?Then he explained that she was just a younger sister, and then, after that, the previous suspicions were settled, and they lived together?She was already ready to be thrown away, and she was ready to help Xiu Yi explain, why is it different?

"Miss, I don't know how to address you?" A warm spring-like voice sounded, and Matsumoto on the opposite side already had a kind and pleasant face, as if the jealous eyes just now were not from her.

"I'll take her to eat first, excuse me." Before Lixiang could answer, Xiuyi pulled Lixiang and turned around and left, a voice that could be lowered by Xiuyi's ear: "Be careful with her."

Hearing what Xiuyi said, Lixiang naturally understood that the girl was not a good stubble.And the feeling that the girl showed just now seems to dislike Li Xiang very much, so Li Xiang naturally won't go up to her.

Xiu Yi and Li Xiang walked away gradually, and the three people in the same place saw the ambiguous scene where Xiu Yi lowered his head slightly and whispered in Li Xiang's ear, and naturally had a lot of thoughts.

"Ah." A horrified scream came from the corridor near Xiuyi and Lixiang. The two looked at each other and immediately ran in that direction.
