Chapter eight hundred and sixty-one - falling water
"No, according to some famous saying, the Far East was demobilized after the war, and the abstinence concept contained in their strict military discipline was brought into the originally quite open society." Making a drink, Qian Yu expressed her suspicion. "But it is said that residents in several concessions would be much more open, almost comparable to the First Republic of the Far East... that is, the Republic of China. So, I think she would be a resident of several leased lands, or she would be really a master of communication."
"It may also be that some second-generation immigrants in the immigration circle may be," Haibara Ai lay on the sofa, looking at his lover on the swivel chair with satisfaction. "In short, the Far East people are definitely not all that kind of people, right?"
"If that's the case, it's better to find a girl over there to give birth to you in the future," he handed the full cocktail glass to Ai Haibara, and Chiao pointed Haibara's forehead with his other hand. "Money has never been a problem, and you who have no postpartum depression may be the happiest new mother in the world."
"Although I am indeed afraid of the kind of thing that will make me crack no matter what I think, I can't let others be responsible for getting the money to crack, right?" Haibara Ai rolled up slightly and took a sip of the cocktail he held in his hand. "Listen... it's not very human rights."
"But to put it another way, it is [let professionals do professional things]," Qian Yu reminded. "And are you sure you don't want this kind of service? It is said that the whole process is really torture and has an impact on your figure, such as stretch marks, and even leaks..."
"Shut up! I will think carefully then!"
...
"As far as I know, Mr. Yan Shida's case should be one of the cases that Mrs. Maori is following up now, right?" Hankawa Ryu held the small notebook and asked the female lawyer in front of him while continuing to look at the next question recorded on the notebook. After knowing that he would have the opportunity to ship with the famous detective and the famous lawyer, he had already prepared such a list of questions. Whether he had the opportunity to interview the two of them, the opportunity would only favor those who were prepared.
"Yes, we are currently collecting information for Mr. Hakata's next trial," Eiri Nodded. "From the moment, we are confident that we can help Mr. Hakata's acquittal."
"As far as I know, a considerable number of people have been dissatisfied with the Maori lawyer's defense of Mr. Yan Yamada, and even impacted your residence. What do you think about this?" Hankawa Ryu continued to ask.
"In fact, I may have to thank them. It is precisely because of their barbaric behavior that I can reconcile with my husband." At this point, Eiri Kiyo glanced at the camera still filming on the table next to him, suddenly showed an extremely bright smile, and then pecked on Kogoro Mori's cheek.
"Ah, you can tell that this is true!" Han Chuanlong laughed loudly. "In addition, there are rumors that the police seem to be..."
"Well, it's said that this is the case, but they won't have any major impact on us yet, so I don't think you have to care about it." Eiri shrugged, looking like he didn't care about it at all. "And, I think they shouldn't have time to care about us now, but should pay attention to some real top priorities, right?"
"Yes." Hankawa Ryu nodded and changed his seating position, which made Kogoro Mori notice that he was wearing a ring strung with a necklace around his neck.
"Mr. Hankawa, is the one on your neck... a ring?" Kogoro Mouri was a little uncertain - after all, normal people generally would not choose to hang this kind of thing around their necks.
"Yes, it seems that someone wants to steal the ring I had put in the box, so I just hung it around my neck." Hankawa Ryu took off the necklace and tried to hand it to Kogoro Mouri. "Do you plan to see it? This is a ring worn by Nicholas II's eldest son [Alexey] for praying for his health, which is quite precious."
"No, I'll forget it..." Kogoro Mouri quickly waved his hand. "This thing is too precious. It's better not to touch any layman like me!"
"Okay," Han Chuanlong put on the necklace again and said goodbye to the two of them. "Then... I will continue to visit the owner of the next room first?"
...
At midnight, on the deck of the ship.
"I'll say it again. I don't know what happened at that time. I only know that you cheated on me and then broke up. I don't know who the cheating partner is." Fujiwara's voice sounded from Qianyu's mind. "And to be honest, shouldn't normal people's reactions be to hide this matter and then compensate with their own attitude? Why did it turn out to be such a strange idea when you came to you?"
"But if you just do it silently and pretend nothing happened, don't you think there is anything strange?" Qian Yu looked outside the side of the ship with a very uneasy expression. "I've obviously done it, but I still feel at ease because the other party didn't find it, and I think nothing happened."
"You have hurt her once now. Are you just so persistent in hurting her for the second time?" Fujiwara asked. "For her, this thing doesn't exist. If you really plan to repent of something, then hide all these things and bear them. This is the punishment you deserve!"
Silence for a long time.
"I understand..." Qian Yu sighed. "I-"
"Plop!"
The sound of something falling into the water came.
"Hmm!" Qian Yu frowned and turned to look in the direction where the sound came.
"What's wrong?" Fujiwara could not hear the sound here - Qianyu used the auxiliary unit to convey the sound of the past, just that he automatically converted his voice into a signal and sent it, while external messages would not be transmitted through this channel.
[Plop!] Qianyu then used the auxiliary unit to simulate the sound of falling into the water and rushed over at the same time.
"This sound..." Fujiwara frowned. "Has the lifeboat fallen into the water?"
"At least it must be the sound of the wear-resistant fabric hitting the water surface under the driving force of heavy objects." Qianyu adjusted the auxiliary unit to the maximum power, and slapped the sound at the side of the ship where the sound came and began to look down - the stars in the sky could still provide some light, so he was able to confirm that there was nothing on the water surface. "But... it seems there is no ship?"
"Nothing?" Fujiwara heard Qianyu's murmur. "Are you sure you didn't hear it wrong?"
