Damn it! If I had been the one to save her back then...
"By the way, Hajime-chan," Yoruichi Toyama, who was secretly harboring resentment towards him, called out to him in a surprisingly informal manner, "and how did you end up attending the opening of that ocean park?"
Is this an insult to me, implying that I have no power or influence and am not worthy of knowing rich people?
Kindaichi thought angrily, snorted, and turned his head away.
"Hello, Miyuki!" Miyuki felt very sorry for her childhood friend's rudeness and could only explain with a smile, "I met Lan Zeqian, the young lady of the Lan Ze Group, by chance in an off-campus flower arrangement class. We got along very well, so she invited me and my friends to participate."
Upon hearing the name Lan Zeqian, Toyama Yoruichi felt completely at ease.
This is the case of Killing Deep Blue.
On the occasion of the opening of the "Deep Blue" ocean resort hotel and ocean park, a group of terrorists kidnapped the guests at the reception, as well as the chairman and his family of the Lanze Group.
They planted poison gas bombs in the hotel and also hacked into the hotel's computer management system via the internet, gaining complete control of the hotel.
One victim after another appeared...
The real culprit is actually hiding in the hotel...
Yoruichi Toyama thought about it and was a little speechless.
There's a sense of despair like finishing a multiplication table overnight only to find out the next day that the exam tests calculus.
I've encountered eight eggs before, but that time I had Taro as a probe!
Moreover, those terrorists were truly armed to the teeth; you couldn't possibly defeat them in a head-on confrontation.
However, if we don't confront them head-on and act too late, it's easy for victims to emerge.
We can't just say it's unrelated to the mission and then not go to rescue them, can we? ...
"Mr. Toyama, Mr. Toyama?" Miyuki called out twice after not hearing the other person speak for a while, which was very strange.
"What's wrong with you? You've been staring blankly into space since just now?"
"I think he's just jealous because he heard you're good friends with Miss Aizawa!" Kindaichi snorted.
However, Yoruichi Toyama did not refute this sarcasm.
"Ah, um, I was thinking, I didn't bring my swimsuit..." Yoru Toyama stammered, then suddenly coughed.
"I...I need to go to the restroom..."
Watching the man walk away in a hurry, Kindaichi felt he had won another round and arrogantly pulled Miyuki up with his nose in the air.
"Let's go, Miyuki! Let's get on the boat first!"
...
Since they were heading to a resort and two different business events were being held at the same time, there were already quite a few well-dressed, seemingly respectable people on the ship, chatting in small groups.
Kindaichi spotted Toyama Yoruichi standing next to a group of people and couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
"You, you..." he stammered, his hand almost pointing at Yoruichi Toyama's nose, "Didn't you go to the restroom? When did you come back up?"
Yoruichi Toyama turned around leisurely, smiled, and casually brushed his fingers aside.
"That's very impolite of you, Kindaichi-kun."
Perhaps it was because she was with those high-ranking people, but Yoruichi Toyama's words and tone became much more refined.
Kindaichi muttered angrily, "What are you pretending for?" He glared and scanned the area, but only recognized Shimomura Shiho and her son.
"Let me introduce you," Yoruichi Toyama said, turning to the people around her.
"This is the famous detective known as 'Sleeping Kogoro,' Kogoro Mouri, along with his daughter Ran and Conan Edogawa."
Uncle Kogoro dressed himself up quite neatly this time, with a short parted hairstyle, big leather shoes, and a small mustache that resembled Poirot's. He led his daughter and son-in-law, nodding and smiling reservedly.
"This is Mr. Mori's first disciple, the detective apprentice, Amuro Tooru."
Thanks to Kogoro, Touko also managed to get on the ship and grinned as she gave a peace sign.
"And this one is... um..."
Yoruichi Toyama paused for a moment during his serious introduction, looking somewhat embarrassed as he gazed at the capable woman chatting happily with Shiho Shimura.
The women stepped forward on their own, displaying a queen-like demeanor that looked down upon all others.
"I am Eri Kisaki, the estranged wife of that bumbling detective."
Aunt Fei, who always loves handing out business cards to couples, paused slightly after seeing Kindaichi and Miyuki's ages, but still handed them her business cards.
"High school students are at a very young and inexperienced age. They must be careful when interacting with the opposite sex, especially girls."
Her sharp gaze was fixed on Miyuki, as if trying to determine whether she and Kindaichi had "that kind" of relationship.
"However, if it really results in a death, don't worry. I have several lawyer friends who specialize in juvenile delinquency cases and can recommend them to you."
"Ying, Yingli..."
"Oh dear, Mom!"
"Aunt Fei..."
The family of three next to them exclaimed almost simultaneously, their faces showing varying degrees of speechlessness and embarrassment.
Miyuki's face was already as red as a tomato.
Kindaichi chuckled as he accepted the business card that read "Fei Law Firm".
"Oh, hehe, thank you, Auntie..."
"Um, my name is Kindaichi Hajime, and this is my classmate Nanase Miyuki..."
"Kindaichi?" Before he could finish speaking, Kogoro interrupted him.
The middle-aged man looked thoughtful.
"I remember there used to be a famous detective, also named Kindaichi, right? When was it...?"
"Kindaichi Kosuke, the famous detective from the Taisho era," Eri Kisaki coldly reminded him. "He should be considered your senior."
