Chapter 1357 Boarding the Ship

Qin Zhibo was stunned in place, thinking about the situation behind this information.

Although the president and his wife of the Suzuki Foundation did not come.

But there is also a need to save face between the consortium and the consortium, so the Suzuki Consortium will still send representatives here.

Who will be sent?

Suzuki Sonoko was obviously being groomed as a successor.

If there is Sonoko Suzuki, then the god of death is still far away...

"Wow!"

"It's Sister Li! Her figure is still as hot as ever!"

"Hoho~~"

At this moment, a lunatic cry from a certain LSP rang out from the crowd, causing people around to cast strange looks.

Qin Zhibo and Naomi looked in the direction of the voice, and it turned out to be Mouri Kogoro who was cosplaying the Venom style with a tongue-rolling smile.

Mouri Kogoro heckled the artist sisters who were cutting the ribbon on the stage regardless of the occasion.

This made Mao Lilan on the side a little embarrassed, and quickly advised: "Dad, everyone is looking at you..."

"Who is looking at me?"

Mouri Kogoro turned his head and glanced around. Taking advantage of his height advantage, he spotted Qin Zhibo, who also stood out from the crowd.

When their eyes met, both parties only had shock in their eyes.



After the ribbon-cutting ceremony is over, tourists can begin to board the ship.

The two groups of people came together and explained to each other why they were here.

The reason why the Mori family appeared here was, of course, at the invitation of Suzuki Sonoko.

In addition to Conan, Maori and his daughter, Dr. Agasa, Haibara Ai and the three little ones also came to eat, drink and play.

In this all-star lineup, no one is missing.

Qin Zhibo took a look and realized that the ship was probably in danger...

Q: Is it still too late to refund the ticket?

"When we were at the gymnasium two days ago, Mr. Qin was still working on a case with Kudo. I thought Mr. Qin didn't have time..."

"I didn't expect it was a date with a beautiful lady~"

Suzuki Sonoko made a mean and squinting expression, obviously teasing the relationship between Qin Zhibo and Cheng Shi.

This made Chengshi blush and clasp his hands shyly.

Qin Zhibo introduced generously: "This is Dr. Chengshi, and the hospital is located not far from Dr. A Li's home."

"This is Sonoko Suzuki, the second daughter of the Suzuki Consortium."

Except for Suzuki Sonoko, everyone else here knows Narumi, so no introduction is needed.

At this time, the three little ones greeted Chengshi very politely, "Hello, Dr. Chengshi!"

Haihara Ai stayed temporarily in Chengshi Hospital before, and became familiar with the three little ones who came to visit.

"Hello~" Cheng Shi smiled and waved to the three people at the lower end, but his eyes met the smiling Haibara Ai.

"Hello, Dr. Chengshi, nice to meet you."

Suzuki Sonoko calmed down her joking attitude and bowed slightly towards Narumi.

"Hello, Miss Suzuki." Narumi responded with a slight bow.

"Haha~" Suzuki Sonoko waved her hands nervously at this time, "Since we are all acquaintances, there is no need to be so reserved, just call me Sonoko~"

Hearing this, Cheng Shi's eyes were also quite surprised.

In his impression, people who came from a consortium were aloof and spoke with airs, but he did not expect Suzuki Sonoko to be so approachable.

"By the way, let's board the ship quickly!"

"If it's too late, the good rooms will be picked up by others~"



Yuanzi's words are meant to amuse children.

In fact, the room on the ship is bound to the ticket and is booked before boarding the ship.

The only thing that can be changed is that the rooms of these acquaintances can be swapped with each other.

There are four types of guest rooms provided on the ship, namely interior cabins, sea view rooms, balcony rooms, and suites.

And each room has two beds and can accommodate at least four people. It's just a matter of how much space there is in the room and the view outside the window.

The suite tickets for this voyage are only available to VIPs invited by the Yatsushiro Foundation and are not sold to the public. Only Suzuki Sonoko has a suite ticket.

The remaining Mori family, the Detective Boys and Dr. Agasa have tickets for two balcony rooms.

Because Qin Zhibo and Cheng Shi booked their tickets a little late, the most economical interior cabins and high-end balcony rooms were gone, and they could only book a sea view room.

After several people discussed it, they decided to allocate the existing rooms as follows:

Yuanzi, Mao Lilan, Ayumi, and Haihara Ai went to live in the highest-end presidential suite.

Kogoro Mouri, Dr. Agasa, Conan, Genta, and Mitsuhiko live in a balcony room.

Qin Zhibo and Cheng Shi lived in another balcony room.

This way everyone can be in almost the same area, making it more convenient for group activities on the ship.

Qin Zhibo and Chengshi came to the balcony room with simple luggage.

The room is about 24 square meters and has an independent bathroom, wardrobe, refrigerator, writing desk, satellite TV and other facilities.

The biggest difference between balcony rooms and sea view rooms is naturally the balcony facing the sea.

Qin Zhibo opened the sliding door and came to the balcony, looking out at the blue sea.

The sea area as far as the eye can see is the famous Pacific Ocean.

Due to [Fear in a Bottle], Qin Zhibo hasn’t had any nausea towards the ocean for a long time.

Even though I was looking at him like this now, I didn't feel anything strange for a while.

But when I stare at him for a long time, I still feel like I have forgotten to breathe. I have to take a few breaths in succession to relieve the depression in my heart.

"Mr. Qin, your luggage has been put away..."

"I also found this."

Cheng Shi also came to the balcony, holding an exquisite gift box in his hand.

Opening the gift box, there was a set of turquoise waterproof jackets with "Aphrodite" printed on the back, which is the English name of the cruise ship.

There is also the ship's logo of "Aphrodite" on the chest, and the side face of a woman with a wavy hair like the sea.

"This should be a gift for the ship's maiden voyage..."

"Then let's put on these clothes and go to the deck later?"

"Yes, yes, but..."

Qin Zhibo took off his brown windbreaker and tried it on. The size of the dress was a little too small and he couldn't fit it at all.

You can change to a larger size by contacting the waiter on the ship, but there is a lot of work just before the ship leaves, so the clothes can't be delivered until around dinner time.

Qin Zhibo is not anxious about this.

So, the two of them put on their daily clothes and left the room.



After everyone packed their luggage on the ship, they gathered on the top deck.

Since the departure time of the "Aphrodite" was in the afternoon, it happened to be dusk now, so we could enjoy the beautiful sunset.

On one side of the ship's side, Mao Lilan and Conan, wearing the jackets provided free of charge on the ship, were leaning on the railing and looking at the endless sea.

The originally blue sea was dyed with a layer of golden-red sparkling waves under the afterglow.

Orange-red fire clouds almost filled half of the sky.

"The scenery is so beautiful..." Mao Lilan suddenly said calmly.

"Yeah." Conan next to him responded.

"I really hope Shinichi can see such a beautiful sunset..."

Conan looked surprised and looked up at the girl next to him.

I saw that Mao Lilan's face was dyed a passionate orange-red like the clouds in the sky, and there was an indescribable sadness in her eyes.

He understood Xiaolan's thoughts.

But now he couldn't tell the truth, so he could only say in his heart, "I'm watching it too."

But at this moment, Mao Lilan's tone suddenly became sad.

"Conan..."

"Um?"

"Do you think I should give up karate just like that?"

Mao Lilan's sudden words made Conan a little confused.

When he realized what Mao Lilan was saying, his expression suddenly changed.

He suddenly turned his head to look, and saw something sparkling in the eyes of his beloved girl, which looked particularly bright under the sunset.

However, no matter how bright the appearance is, it cannot change its sad nature.

"Sister Xiaolan, what are you talking about?"

"Karate is a hobby you have always insisted on. How can you give up so easily?"

Conan quickly tried to persuade him, his expression serious and anxious.

Maori Ran's love for karate was not spontaneous at first, but she was sent to learn by Kogoro Maori on the grounds that "girls need to learn self-defense skills".

However, as she continued to learn, Mao Lilan's talent and interest in this area gradually emerged, and she was out of control from then on.

Coupled with Mao Lilan's serious and dedicated character, she has devoted herself to karate for so many years, and it has long gone beyond being just an after-school hobby.

Although she may not necessarily expect to make a living from karate in the future, such a hasty ending must be full of regrets.

"Conan, I know what you mean..."

Mao Lilan turned to look at Conan, with a sad smile on her lips, "But think about it, I'm not as powerful as Mr. Kyogoku Makoto. I can become a professional martial artist in the future..."

"Maybe it's better to be more realistic in life."

In the past two days, Mao Lilan thought a lot in private.

After all, a hobby is a hobby and cannot be used as a career in the future.

Just like Hattori Heiji's mother, she was once a member of the high school kendo club, but now she lives a housewife life that has nothing to do with kendo.

"Although Hattori Heiji is also very good at kendo, he won't be able to pursue kendo as his ambition in the future, right?"

"You will eventually have to return to your daily routine in the future. If you practice karate regularly, you will inevitably injure your body..."

There is another sentence that Mao Lilan hides in her heart but does not say out.

That means it may also hurt your loved ones.

Conan stared at Mao Lilan's transformation and knew that the Stonehenge incident had affected Mao Lilan.

He believed that Mao Lilan did not say such words just to show off his quick words.

After all, Mao Lilan also thought carefully about his future plans.

This made Conan speechless for a while, and he didn't know where to start.

If this is what Mao Lilan really thinks, he will respect and support it no matter what.

But before that, he had something to say in his heart.

"Sister Xiaolan..."

"I don't know what happened between you and Brother Shinichi in England..."

"But when it comes to sister Xiaolan's karate, you must have protected me more often."

"I think Brother Shinichi thinks so too..."

As soon as these words came out, they were like the sound of an empty valley, touching the depths of Mao Lilan's heart.

She turned her head and looked at Conan next to her, who was also looking at her with his cute big eyes.

The two people's eyes met each other. It was not just a mere intersection of eyes, but their souls seemed to be communicating with each other.

Against the backdrop of the beautiful sunset, Mao Lilan raised the corners of her mouth and raised her hands to gently smooth her silky hair blown by the sea breeze.

"Yeah?"

"Shinichi thinks so too?"

"Yeah!" Conan nodded vigorously.

Mao Lilan was silent for a few seconds, then picked up Conan and held him in her arms like a large doll.

"Sister Xiaolan?"

"You can see better from above~"

"Um."

Conan nodded. Although the posture of being held like a doll was a bit awkward, I have to say that it was quite comfortable.

But not two seconds after he felt comfortable, Yuanzi came back with the three little ones who had gone out for a run.

"Conan, we all saw it!"

"You are acting coquettishly with Sister Xiaolan again!"

The three little ones immediately ran over and teased Conan.

Conan, who was ridiculed, felt a little embarrassed for a moment. How could he lead the three little ones like this in the future?

So he quickly defended himself.

"Fool, I don't have one..."

"Conan, are you blushing?" Ayumi took the initiative.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's because of the sunset~"

Mitsuhiko and Genta didn't give in, "It's an excuse~ It's obviously just a blush!"

Conan: "I don't have any!"

Mao Lilan, who was standing aside, looked stunned when she heard Conan's introduction.

She recalled in her mind that when Shinichi was embarrassed when she was a child, she used the setting sun to cover up her blush.

This kid...

He really looks like Shinichi when he was a kid.

At this time, a mature voice sounded next to him.

"Conan's face turned red because he was so energetic..."

Everyone turned and looked over, and it turned out that Qin Zhibo and Cheng Shi had also wandered back.

Seeing Qin Zhibo coming, Conan seemed to have seen the savior, his eyes radiating hope.

But the next second, Qin Zhibo rubbed Conan's head affectionately and smiled.

"Because I can hang out with my favorite sister Xiaolan, of course I feel refreshed!"

"Hahaha!"

As soon as these words came out, the three little ones immediately burst into laughter.

"Isn't this the same!"

"Such a childish reason, Conan is indeed a child!"

Conan drooped his eyelids and gave Qin Zhibo a half-moon eye.

Boss, please don't play with me, okay?

"By the way." Qin Zhibo turned around and looked around and asked: "Dr. A Li and Mr. Mao Li, why aren't Haiyuan Ai here?"

Mao Lilan explained: "Dad is taking a shower in the room. He said he wanted to dress up in the evening..."

"Dr. A Li was a little dizzy, so Xiao Ai stayed in the room to take care of him."

When Chengshi heard this, he quickly said: "If you feel dizzy, I have some seasickness medicine here. Can I send it over now?"

Mao Lilan shook his head, "No need, Xiao Ai also brought medicine before boarding the ship, and Dr. A Li has already taken it."

"Eh? Ms. Narumi's watch is so beautiful!"

Mao Lilan had better eyesight and saw the women's watch exposed on Chengshi's wrist at a glance.

"Yeah?"

Chengshi caressed the watch lovingly, "This is a gift from Mr. Qin..."

"That's it!"

Mao Lilan's eyes lit up and she said casually: "I saw a watch like this at Heathrow Airport in London before. The price is very expensive!"

"Mr. Qin is so kind to you!"
