Kamohashi Ronjin handed Robin the brooch he'd requested, looking a bit surprised. "Why are you here? There shouldn't be any treasures you'd need on the Exotic Dolphin, right?"
"That's not what I meant, Kamohashi-kun." Robin looked around. "Don't most people on this ship bring their 'treasures'? After all, so-called treasures aren't necessarily valuable items. I think I've said too much. I have an appointment to keep, and keeping someone waiting for too long is unbecoming of a French gentleman."
"It's up to you. I've already returned the things anyway." Kamohashi Ron said.
After Robin left, Isshiki Todumaru asked with some confusion, "Lun, is he an acquaintance of yours?"
"An acquaintance? It's more of a fateful relationship than an acquaintance," Kamonohashi Ron said. "I shouldn't have revealed that guy's identity back during the Blood Internship Case... Dudu, did you know that besides James Moriarty, who fell into the Reichenbach Falls with him, my ancestors had another very formidable rival..."
"Ah... Speaking of which..." Isshiki Todumaru was slightly impressed, "I thought Arsene Lupin was a purely fictional character."
"Dudu, you figured it out so quickly? It seems like the eagle is feeling the same way when it learns its eaglet can fly normally. It's a bit surprising." Kamohashi Ron suddenly said, "You actually guessed it."
"That's a lame analogy! It's obvious, and he didn't hide his last name as Robin," Isshiki Todumaru said. "He also said he's French."
Kamonohashi Ron: "Now I completely understand the feelings of an old eagle who watches his children grow up."
"You seem to be very satisfied with this metaphor..." Isshiki Dudumaru said embarrassedly.
"Anyway, now's not the time to be talking about this." Kamohashi Ron looked like he had something to say to Isshiki Totomaru. "I think I called a few too many people for the showdown with Milo. Besides, all those guys involved in the case from five years ago are here too. Maybe things won't be that simple."
"It's okay, Lun. I told you, I trust you. Since we're partners, I have no reason not to trust you," Isshiki Todumaru said. "You can definitely handle this... If possible, it would be best if you could arrest Milo as well."
"It might be difficult to arrest him. After all, I still want to save the life of my classmate who's already undercover at M's house. He'll probably be discovered by Milo this time," Kamohashi Ron said. "Come to think of it, he unplugged M's network cable twice and still went unnoticed..."
"Who would have known that the undercover agent came here specifically to unplug the network cable?"
No, we have been led astray. An undercover agent’s job is not supposed to be to unplug the network cable!

"Everyone who participated in the blood internship case five years ago is here?" Isshiki Todumaru was a little surprised. "What do you mean by that..."
"It's exactly what it says. The defendant, lawyer, prosecutor, and all the witnesses from the Blood Internship case are here. The M family member who framed me is here too. Maybe... I can even see that person on this ship."
"That person?"
"Remember, Dudu, the person pretending to be me jumped into the sea, but his body was never found, nor was there any evidence of him being alive. Perhaps he boarded the Exotic Dolphin from the sea..."
"This is such a coincidence!"
"After all, it's quite a coincidence that all the people involved in the Blood Internship Case are here," Kamohashi Ron said. "If you think about it carefully under such circumstances, it shouldn't be surprising what happened, right?"
Isshiki Totomaru: "..."
He shouldn't be here listening to serious nonsense.
only……
"It seems like you know a lot of people on this cruise ship," Isshiki Todumaru asked uncertainly. "If that's the case, it would be difficult for Milo to use any tactics against you."
"I'm a little worried. Milo might not be planning to use any tactics against me," Kamohashi Ron said seriously. "For the past five years, I've been on guard against the M family. Tiger also guessed some of their plans when we were at the Plateau Hotel, so they might not consider targeting me."
However, if they don't target him, it is hard to say who they will target. It is also possible that they will commit the so-called "impossible crime" and then bring down the reputation of Holmes' descendants. After all, it was Sherlock Holmes who completely nailed their ancestors to the pillar of shame.
Isshiki Todumaru clasped his hands together, "Then we can only hope that everything goes well."
Kamohashi Ron: "Isn't this a gesture of respect for the gods? You seem to have been greatly influenced by your grandmother, Toto."
"Because my parents were very busy with work at the time, they had no choice but to leave me with my grandmother in the countryside. But I know my parents' love is real. After all, when they were not so busy, they spent a long time with me. I remember all of this..." Isshiki Totomaru said, "My ability to become a detective was also influenced by my parents to some extent."
"So you all became police officers because of your parents' influence... Are both your parents police officers?"
"Eh?! No, my mom is a university professor, and my dad is probably a policeman... but he's often abroad... Actually, my mom also travels around giving speeches and stuff, so I was entrusted to my grandma in the countryside to take care of me."
"Sometimes, that happens. Because the police in some countries are so incompetent and can't find detectives, they have to turn to foreign police for help..." Kamonohashi Ron thought for a moment. "After all, if the police in every country were excellent, there wouldn't be any need for the World Detective League."
"I have a feeling that you hold a grudge against the World Detective League."
"Hmph, I'm afraid it's not an illusion. After all, there are a bunch of idiots over there." Hirsch seemed to have overheard Kamonohashi's conversation. "I'd say I've easily been cleared of suspicion of murder, but because of this suspicion, they refused to upgrade my detective license to S-rank."
"Teacher Hirsch, you're listening too."
"...I unexpectedly feel that the Detective Union's decision was the right one."
"By the way, Officer Isshiki, how long have you known Kamohashi Rin?" Hirsch said, "They should have known each other for quite a while."
"Half a year." Kamohashi Ron said.
Hirsch looked a little shocked. "I would believe you guys have known each other for ten years or more...but at this rate, you're going to end up arguing and breaking up sooner or later, right?"
"We won't argue," said Isshiki Todumaru.
"We won't break up." Kamohashi Ron said. How can there be a breakup if there is no confession?
Hirsch: “…”
There seem to be gays here, not sure, let's take a look.

An incident occurred on the Exotic Dolphin. Some employees have arrived at the scene, and Mr. Hirsch is rescuing the victim.
"What's wrong with him? Is he allergic?" the onlookers whispered.
"I don't think it's an allergy," Kamohashi Ron said. "Looking at his complexion, it seems more like he accidentally ingested something poisonous."
"Sorry, please don't come here if you don't have professional knowledge..." the employee on the ship said, "If you have any, please show your ID."
Isshiki Totomaru showed his police officer ID, while Kamohashi Ron showed his detective license and asked, "So it was indeed poisoning?"
"According to Professor Hirsch, yes," the employee said. "But our kitchen is very strictly inspected, so it's impossible for an employee to poison the food... The most obvious person is probably the person sitting across from him."
"But they seem to be mother and son?" asked Kamohashi Ron.
"Yes." The employee nodded. "Right now, the biggest suspect is his mother, but the problem is there's no motive for murder."
"I see." Kamohashi Ron thought for a moment, then started sending a message to someone A.
"How did you really poison someone?"
Person A: "How should I know what's going on? I didn't do anything. Milo is asking me about it too. What the hell are you two thinking of me when you do something like this? I'd say this was a complete accident."
Kamo no Bridge Theory: "?"
Kamo no Hashiro: "That's true. After all, there are too many messy people on this ship."
Person A: "? I don't know why I feel like you're scolding me."
Kamohashi Ron: "You think too much. I'm talking about all the people who shouldn't be here." All the acquaintances from the Blood Internship Case are here. What's going on? Are they going to hold a meeting here?
Besides, as expected, we still need to investigate the scene a bit. As Kamonohashi Ron was thinking this, Hirsch was slightly surprised. "What a surprise! I checked all the possible places where the poison could have been placed, including the edge of the cup and other places on the deceased's body, which many people tend to overlook. There was absolutely no poison reaction."
"What about fingers? The deceased might have a habit of biting his fingers or something like that." asked Isshiki Todumaru.
"Huh, who do you think I am? Of course I checked, but there's nothing there," Hirsch said. "That's the problem."
All possible places where the poison might have been added were searched, but no toxic reaction was detected... Of course, Hirsch actually also checked whether it was possible that food that could be eaten at the same time would produce a chemical reaction and become a toxin, but still no results were found.
"If there's no trace of the poison anywhere, then we can only assume the murderer hid it," Kamonohashi Ryouya said. "The question is, who could have hidden it, and how?"

"Ma'am, if you truly didn't poison your child, please tell us everything you know, okay?" Robin suddenly appeared at the scene. "Don't worry, there are many world-class detectives gathered here. If you tell them what you saw, they'll be able to prove your innocence."
“…Why is this guy so elusive?” Isshiki Dudumaru complained.
"After all, it's a personal trait." Robin gave a gentleman's bow. "So, ma'am, please tell me everything you know."
“What an outrageous personal trait!”
