The cruise ship arrived in Tokyo in the first rays of the morning sun.
After a brief rest, the group boarded the convoy meticulously arranged by the Suzuki Group and set off for Yokosuka.
This is an important gateway to the East Capital, and also a sizable naval port city.
The Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, as well as the navy of the neighboring country M, are all stationed here.
Logically speaking, it would be extremely unpleasant for any normal person to have someone else's army blocking their own doorstep.
But the Japanese, who naturally admire strength, are different. They not only feel no aversion at all, but also developed the naval port where the troops were stationed into a tourist attraction to draw visitors.
"Young Master Yuzuru, what did Ai say? Is she coming over?"
Inside the moving car, Akemi looked tenderly at Yuzuru Hanyu, who had just hung up the phone, and asked softly.
She thought Ai would definitely like something fun like this.
As an older sister, Mingmei is very good at it and always thinks about her younger sister.
Sonoko, who was trying to persuade Ran, immediately leaned in and asked eagerly, "Really? Ai is coming to play too? Should I arrange a car to pick her up?"
"No need, Ai said she'll come over in Professor Agasa's car later," Yuzuru said, putting away his phone.
He had already arranged a car, but Ai refused.
Ai, who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside and kind-hearted, was worried that the doctor couldn't keep an eye on the three little ones by himself, so she went to help take care of them.
Of course, this kind-hearted personality does not include Kuroba Chikage.
Thinking about the new pile of photos and videos on his phone, Yuzuru's expression became slightly strange.
Ai really had a lot of fun!
......
Yokosuka.
After a long and winding mountain road, the convoy finally arrived at the castle located on the mountaintop.
"Wow, what a beautiful castle!"
As soon as she got off the bus, Xiaolan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
The castle stands atop a mountain, surrounded by beautiful natural scenery.
"It looks somewhat like a German-style castle," Officer Shiratori, who came along, analyzed. "It's modeled after Cinderella's castle."
"You know a lot!" Yu Shengnan said with a slightly teasing smile.
Officer Shiratori smiled but didn't say anything.
As long as you live long enough and experience enough things, you will naturally learn more and master more skills.
Just as everyone was admiring the castle, a sudden screech of brakes came from behind them.
Everyone turned around and saw a classic yellow Volkswagen Beetle parked steadily in front of them.
"Hey, Conan!"
"Conan, we're here!"
"Brother Yuzuru, I've come to play with you!"
Accompanied by three energetic voices, the three little ones jumped out of the car impatiently.
Conan looked closely and a look of helplessness and headache immediately appeared on his face.
He couldn't help but raise his hand to rub his forehead, muttering to himself, "How come these troublemakers came along too?"
"Ai, I missed you so much! Let your big sister hug you!" Sonoko ran over excitedly, opening her arms to hug Ai as she got out of the passenger seat.
Ai nimbly dodged the attack with a sidestep, saying, "We've only been apart for two days."
Sonoko, having missed her target, pouted somewhat unwillingly, but then put on a pitiful look, "But, wasn't that what Nan said? 'A day apart feels like three autumns.' Two days have passed now, so that's six three-autumn periods."
Upon hearing this, Ai was stunned for a moment and speechless.
She really wanted to know how those six three-year periods were calculated.
"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's go inside!" Yu Sheng Nan smiled and took Ai's soft pink hand.
He was already used to it; it was just Sonoko's usual performance.
When no one was looking, Professor Agasa quietly handed Conan the glasses he had worked on overnight.
"Here, make it according to your requirements."
"Very good!"
Conan was overjoyed and quickly changed out of the glasses he was wearing.
This will be the key to victory in the future.
...
Once everyone had arrived, the group, led by the butler of the Kousaka Natsumi family, entered the castle.
Kogoro Mouri originally didn't plan to let the children come along, worried that they would cause trouble.
In the end, it was only after Yuzuru Nanagi made a call that they were allowed to come in.
After all, it's better to keep them under our noses than to let them out there do whatever stupid things they want to do, just in case something unexpected happens.
"This is the lady's room, my grandmother's favorite place, because she said it was the most comfortable." Natsumi Kosaka smiled as she introduced each room in the castle to everyone, her tone gentle, as if she were recounting a beautiful memory.
As she spoke, she turned to look at Yuzuru Hanyu beside her, a hint of expectation flashing in her eyes, "Mr. Hanyu, I would like to trouble you to take a look and see where there might be any hidden mechanisms."
"I'll keep an eye on it." Yu Sheng Nan nodded, glancing subtly at the art dealer Gan Jiangyi, who had excused himself to go to the restroom and left the room alone.
Ai noticed Hanyu Nan's gaze and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with him?"
You'll find out soon enough.
Yuzuru's lips curled slightly upward as he played with the soft, delicate hand in his, giving a mysterious smile.
A few minutes later, a terrified scream came from the next room.
When everyone rushed to the next room, they saw Gan Jiang kneeling on the ground with a look of terror on his face. One of his hands was handcuffed to a hidden compartment above, and several sharp swords were hanging in the air above his head, only centimeters away from his head.
"What's going on?"
"This is an anti-theft device that Master Xiyi set up 80 years ago. There are many such mechanisms in the castle. Please be careful, sir." The butler took out a key with a blank expression and stepped forward to help Gan Jiangyi unlock the handcuffs.
His practiced movements indicated that this was not the first time he had handled such a situation.
The hidden compartment was filled with all kinds of gold and silver treasures, dazzling and making people sigh that Natsumi Kosaka was also from a wealthy family.
"So it's just another thief." Ai glanced at him casually, but instantly understood what Yuzuru Nanami meant. A mocking smile appeared on her lips.
There's a thief locked up in the house right now, waiting to be disciplined.
"Don't hurt her. She only stole something; it's not a capital offense."
Yuzuru lowered his head and said.
"Hmph~" Ai snorted coldly and retorted, "You have the nerve to say that? Isn't this all what you usually play with? How could a little girl like me know more than you, Master Yuzuru!"
"Cough cough cough~"
Yuzuru was taken aback by those words and coughed lightly. "You can't say that. You were clearly having a lot of fun too, weren't you?"
