Amidst the sound of the ship's whistle, the Sally Beth slowly docked and anchored in the port.
The party staff of the Suzuki family were already waiting on the shore. Tomoko Suzuki, Sonoko, and Shiro Suzuki and Ayako Suzuki, who had just arrived, stood together to see off the guests. At the same time, they also gave a gift to all the guests as a thank you and apology.
——
Because of Kaitou Kidd's incident, tonight's party is not a pleasant one. These basic courtesy etiquette and gifts are still required.
Not far away, Shu Yunwen, Tsukamoto Sumi, Conan and others stood together. Xiaolan yawned loudly: "Well... I didn't see Kaitou Kid's face clearly. When I passed by the women's room,
Suddenly I smelled a strange smell, and then I fainted..."
"Damn it!" Uncle Maori waved his fist, "Kid, don't let me catch you! Otherwise, I want you to look good!"
The Conan kid stood next to Shu Yunwen, holding his chin and thinking: "Brother Yunwen, Kaito Kidd is a super thief himself, and you were able to steal the Dark Star back from him without being discovered by him... You
How is it done?”
Shu Yunwen turned to look at Conan and said "haha" - he was too lazy to explain to Conan.
Seeing Shu Yunwen's expression, Conan rolled his eyes unhappily and continued to think: "According to the testimony provided by the police, you only left the banquet hall, walked around the corridor outside and took back the Dark Star. In this way, you
The place where you found the Dark Star should be in the corridor. Could it be that Kaitou Kidd hid the Dark Star in the corridor and you discovered it?"
"...No! This is not right! Kaitou Kid was blocked by me and Koshizui-san, and when he said that he wanted to give up the Dark Star, he took out a small stone from his pocket, his expression didn't look like he was faking..."
Conan recalled Kaitou Kid's expression at the time. It was a textbook look of confusion. It couldn't be faked...
Conan discovered that since he met Shu Yunwen, he had more and more unsolved mysteries in his mind, but Shu Yunwen still didn't tell him the answer...
This feeling... is so depressing, is it true?
While Conan was thinking, Xiaolan yawned again: "...I'm still very sleepy now. Let's say goodbye to Mrs. Suzuki and the others first and go home to rest."
"Well, okay..." Uncle Maoli responded, turned to Shu Yunwen and asked, "Classmate Yunwen, classmate Tsukamoto, Detective Yueshui, do you want to come together?"
"No, I have other things to do later..." Shu Yunwen shook his head.
"That's it... let's say goodbye first."
Uncle Maori, Xiaolan bowed slightly to say goodbye, and then Uncle Maori hit Conan on the head with his fist: "Let's go! Kid!"
"Oops~" Conan kid covered his head, weeping silently in his heart, and followed Uncle Mouri and Xiaolan to say goodbye with Suzuki Shiro and Suzuki Tomoko.
Conan and the others walked away, and beside Shu Yunwen, Yuesui Nanatsuki frowned and asked: "Master Yunwen, if I guessed correctly, you should have let Chengshi steal the Dark Star back, and also changed it into a
A small stone?"
"Yes, that's right~" Shu Yunwen nodded and admitted.
Koshizui Nanatsuki suddenly looked resentful: "...Then why didn't you tell me about this?"
Shu Yunwen spread his hands helplessly: "Who told you to run so fast at that time? I didn't have time to say anything~"
"Uh..." Koshizui Nanatsuki finished his words. He felt melancholy and decided not to dwell on this issue anymore. Instead, he asked, "... By the way, Master Yunwen, regarding Conan... are you really
Don’t you think it’s strange at all?”
"...He doesn't really feel like a child, but like a detective with keen observation and superb reasoning ability..."
Koshizui Nanatsuki raised this doubt again - the feeling Conan gave him was really weird!
That product is a drum washing machine, okay?
Shu Yunwen complained in his heart, then shrugged: "...Is there any? I think he is just a little kid who likes to cause trouble~"
"Really?" Koshizui Nanatsuki squinted his eyes, "...I still think there is something wrong, maybe it's worth investigating..."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki said a few more words, turned around and left.
At half past ten, Suzuki Shiro and Suzuki Tomoko finally finished seeing off the guests and walked up to Shu Yunwen and Tsukamoto Sumi. They bowed and said, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Yunwen, for keeping you waiting for so long..."
"Nothing." Shu Yunwen shook his head, "It's getting late now, and we have to go home soon, so let's talk about Dark Star first... Well, how about going to a nearby coffee shop?"
"Okay, Lord Yunwen." Suzuki Shiro nodded, turned to signal to the subordinate beside him, and the subordinate nodded and turned away.
The group of people walked to a nearby coffee shop, which had been cleared and empty.
Shu Yunwen and others came in and sat down. Yuanzi and Suzuki Ayako came to serve as waiters, making coffee for Shu Yunwen and others. Suzuki Shirou asked slightly anxiously: "...Yunwen-sama, please...can you take a look at it?"
Zashiki Warashi who protects our Suzuki family?"
"Of course." Shu Yunwen asked Suzuki Tomoko to take out the Dark Star, and then added a [Ghost Eye] to Suzuki Shiro, Suzuki Tomoko, Sonoko and others. Then, the little girl's soul appeared in front of everyone.
The little girl's soul was sitting on the coffee table at the moment, looking around curiously. After seeing the little girl, Suzuki Shiro rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and then stammered: "She, she is Chikako sister...
...She is my sister! Oh my god! It turns out to be her sister... It is her sister who has been guarding the Suzuki family..."
"Ah?" Shu Yunwen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and asked in surprise, "Do you know this soul?"
Next to them, Suzuki Tomoko, Sonoko, and Suzuki Ayako also had shocked faces.
"That's right! Of course I know him!" Shiro Suzuki nodded immediately and said excitedly, "... In addition to my eldest brother Suzuki Jirokichi, in this generation of the Suzuki family, there is also a second sister who is three years older than me. I am the elder sister.
3. My father originally bought Dark Star to give to my mother, but it turned out that my sister liked it very much, so he gave it to my sister... Later, my sister died of illness when she was seven years old. Not long after,
The Dark Star was also enshrined by the family..."
Suzuki Shiro stammered the situation, then turned to Suzuki Tomoko and the others: "...Have you all seen the photo album that the Suzuki family has treasured for the longest time? There are photos of my sister Chikako in it..."
"...Ah! I think about it, it seems like this is really the case..." Yuanzi exclaimed, covering her mouth, "It's exactly the same!"
When Shu Yunwen heard this, he could roughly guess the cause and effect.
Sixty years ago, the Suzuki family bought this black pearl. Then Chikako Suzuki died of illness, but her soul was attracted to the dark star and hid in the black pearl. After that, the Suzuki family enshrined the dark star and worshiped it every day.
By chance, Suzuki Chikako's soul did not disperse, but instead became a "house ghost" who guarded the house because of the worship of her own family——
This is what is called a Zashiki Warashi in Japan.
I have to say that this is also the fate of the Suzuki family——
They didn't know how to raise a "house ghost", so they were surprised to find a house ghost... This kind of luck was incredible.
