Chapter 790 Speechless.JPG

"Perhaps these rumors are circulating because this cruise ship hasn't been to sea for twenty years."

Sonoko Suzuki shrugged, seemingly unconcerned, and even sighed sadly, "Even cruise ships get the rumors spread, let alone people, right?"

"But a great detective like me won't be easily slandered!"

It's unclear what word touched his heart, but Kogoro Mouri suddenly straightened his tie with a serious expression and said something rather narcissistic.

The rest of the group: "......"

Everyone knew Kogoro Mouri, and after a moment of silence, they tacitly changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, why hasn't Naiye Yue arrived yet?"

Ran Mouri suddenly remembered something, looked up and looked around, but couldn't see Naya Kuno.

"Could they be lost? After all, this cruise ship is quite large," Sonoko Suzuki guessed.

"Let's go find her then, it's almost lunchtime anyway."

They had been on deck for quite some time, so they got up and left together.

When I returned to the lobby on the first floor, I happened to see a blonde girl walking in this direction.

Upon seeing them, Kuno Naya raised her hand and waved to them, then quickened her pace and walked over.

When she reached Ran and the others, she smiled a little embarrassedly, "Sorry, something happened on the way here, which made me late."

Sonoko Suzuki waved her hand. "It's nothing, but what happened?"

"It's nothing serious." Kuno Naya smiled and let the matter drop.

However, seeing that she seemed fine, Ran and the others didn't ask any further questions and instead started talking about lunch.

Just then, a clear voice came from their side.

"Mr. Chino!"

Because they heard the name of someone they knew, everyone turned around and saw a woman walking quickly toward them.

After Yuuji Teruyuki arrived in front of them, he seemed to realize their presence and hurriedly greeted them.

"......"

"Hello, Ms. Yumedera."

Ran Mouri greeted her politely.

"I never expected to meet you again on a ship. It's quite a strange coincidence," Sonoko Suzuki said with a smile, making a joke.

Kaguya Yuki smiled, seemingly a little embarrassed, "It's like this, but this Venus cruise ship is now my family's..."

"...Huh?" Sonoko Suzuki was stunned for a moment before she reacted. "Yours? But...now?"

"Yes, my uncle bought this cruise ship not long ago. It's just been refurbished, and now my uncle plans to use it as a commercial cruise ship." Yuuji Teruyuki nodded obediently.

"I see, no wonder most of the people there look like business people," Ran Mouri suddenly realized.

"But, it seemed like Yumeji-neechan knew Chizuru-nii would be here all along," Conan said to Yumeji Kaguya with some curiosity, tilting his head up.

Kaguya Yukizuki lowered her head, smiled slightly at him, and explained, "Because I knew that Uncle would send an invitation to the Suzuki Group, and the current head of the Suzuki Group usually doesn't attend. So I guessed that it would be Miss Suzuki who would come, and Miss Suzuki would invite you to come and keep her company, so it's not surprising that I knew, right?"

Conan blinked, then nodded, seemingly understanding. "Oh, I see..."

Yuuji Kagetsu smiled, raised her head, and was about to speak to Chizuru when a voice rang out behind her before she could speak—

"Miss Huiyue, Mr. Junben is looking for you. Please come over as soon as possible."

The smile on Yuuji Teruyuki's face froze instantly. As she turned halfway around, she lowered her eyes slightly, concealing the emotions within them.

Conan suddenly looked up at the woman who had spoken.

Percy gazed indifferently at Yuuji Teruyuki, then glanced at Conan after noticing his gaze.

“Okay, I understand. Thank you for making the trip, Percy,” Yuuji Kaguya replied softly, appearing obedient and elegant.

Percy nodded, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he remained standing there, seemingly waiting for her.

A hint of displeasure flashed in Yuuji Teruyuki's eyes, but she quickly concealed it and turned to look behind her.

"Then I'll take my leave now. I hope you all have a great time on the ship."

She appeared to be speaking to all of them, but her gaze remained fixed on Qianzhu, and she gave him a slight smile before leaving.

Qianzhu watched her leave with a smile on her lips, but her gaze was actually calm and expressionless.

He only looked away after the other person disappeared from sight, the curve of his lips gradually becoming ambiguous.

Kuno Naya raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly, looking at Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran with a hint of curiosity, "Who is that lady?"

"Actually, we don't know her very well... We only met her on the Aphrodite last time. Her name is Yumi Teruyuki, and she seems to be a rich young lady."

Sonoko Suzuki shrugged slightly.

Unfortunately, they really didn't know much about Yuuji Teruyuki.

"I see..." Kuno Naya nodded thoughtfully, then glanced at Chizuru, "Does Chino-kun know her?"

"It's alright." Qianzhu glanced at her with slight surprise, thought for a moment, and continued, "Actually, the number of times I've met her is less than five fingers' worth."

“Is that so?” Kuno Naya raised an eyebrow.

Ran Mouri took her hand, and seeing that she had asked a few questions, she also became curious. "What's wrong?"

Kuno Naya considered for a moment, then answered with a slightly serious tone, "I think something's wrong with her. She's been staring at Chino-kun the whole time."

Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki paused in unison, their eyes both turning into beady expressions.

"Is there...is there any possibility that Ms. Yumedera might like Chizuru?" Sonoko Suzuki said in a voice only the three of them could hear.

"Huh?" Kuno Naya raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Impossible. Do you think I can't tell from the look in someone's eyes when they like someone? There's something very off about her. It's like she has some ulterior motive."

Sonoko Suzuki blinked and quietly started winking at Ran Mouri.

"So, Naiyue, you like Qianzhu? That's why you don't like Gongsi-san, your rival in love?"

Sonoko Suzuki tentatively opened her mouth, but her eyes were actually shining with an "I understand, I understand" light.

Kuno Nayeyue: "...?"

"What kind of strange deduction is this?"

Speechless.
