Conan still remembered that after the disappearance of the Dusk Villa, he also investigated the mysterious old man who once owned the Dusk Villa on the Internet.
However, due to the limited information left from that era and his low-key behavior, we only know that this person's name was Karasuma Renya. He was a world-class millionaire 40 years ago. It is said that his disposable property was as rich as any country in the world.
Nowadays, the wealthy Suzuki Consortium can only be regarded as a new generation in front of him.
However, after Renya Karasuma passed away, the astonishing wealth he left behind disappeared.
Moreover, the Karasuma Group it controlled gradually faded out of the consumer market and completely disappeared from people's sight.
"Is the Karasuma Group you are talking about the owner of Dusk Villa..." Conan asked doubtfully.
Qin Zhibo nodded heavily, "That's the person."
"The Karasuma Group is an organization that operates on the surface, and Karasuma Renye is both the actual controller of the group and the head of the organization."
"That is, the boss of the organization..."
Conan, who was standing at a low position, had his pupils suddenly shrunk, revealing a look of extreme shock.
Although he had long imagined such a huge black organization, he would definitely need some obvious identity to cover up his activities.
But he never thought that the other party's background would be so big, and its scale would far exceed imagination.
After a few seconds, Conan put away his shocked eyes, replaced them with a serious expression of preparedness, and continued.
"Karasuma Renye died 40 years ago, which means the current person in charge of the organization..."
"No."
Qin Zhibo shook his head and said seriously: "Karasuma Renye is not dead. His death 40 years ago was just a fake news to deceive the world."
"He is still the actual controller of the organization. It's just that with the organization's current situation, he can't do everything himself..."
"As for the purpose of the organization, we discussed this topic last time in London."
Conan nodded heavily to express his understanding.
When he was injured in London before, Qin Zhibo introduced that the purpose of the organization was probably to resuscitate the "sleepers" in the deep sea.
Qin Zhibo continued his analysis: "Captain Okita, who once served as a crew member in the organization, planned the sacrifice 15 years ago. Although it was unsuccessful, I don't think this is a coincidence."
"And the most suspicious thing about this incident is that the ritual had already been destroyed, so why were there still black goat cubs and part of the body of the Supreme Mother God on the ship..."
Qin Zhibo's words made Conan's pupils dilate, and he suddenly remembered what he saw on the lifeboat.
He raised his head suddenly, his little face extremely serious, "Is it that ship on the sea?"
"When you returned to the cabin to rescue Cheng Shi, a giant ship appeared on the sea."
"However, the ship did not come to the rescue until the end and stayed in the sea not far away..."
"By the way! I also saw the crow logo on the hull of that ship!"
“This logo also appeared on the tableware of Dusk Annex!”
With the clues given by Qin Zhibo, Conan also connected the clues in his mind.
All the tableware and utensils in the Dusk Villa were specially customized by the rich man. Conan was deeply impressed by this extravagance.
The same crow pattern also appeared on that ship, and the reason is obvious.
The mastermind behind this incident is the black organization!
…
On the side of the ship's side, one tall and one short with the most adorable height difference were leaning on the railing, thinking intently.
Although it is confirmed that the black organization was indeed involved in this incident, it is not yet known what their purpose was.
The only thing that is certain is that the members of the organization summoned the Supreme Mother Goddess, Shub Nicholas, through a ritual on the ship that was desperate to save them.
The arrival of Shub Nicholas can fulfill human wishes as long as the conditions for sacrifice are met.
Of course, the premise is that the wish is within the power of Shub Nicholas.
Shub Nicholas, as the mother of all things, controls the power of life and fertility, and the content of wishes prayed to her must also be related to life.
Realized gender change is related to life.
The black goat cub in the corridor of the infirmary did not harm Chengshi. It is likely that Chengshi made a wish at the right moment when the sacrifice ceremony was successful, and thus received Shub Nicholas's blessing.
It smells like beard cutting.
However, the organization's plan cannot fail because of this.
The organization must have made some wish...
Qin Zhibo carefully recalled every detail of his time on the ship, especially whether he encountered any unusual phenomena during the process of returning to the ship to rescue Cheng Shi.
Unusual…
Suddenly, Qin Zhibo remembered a terrifying mental fluctuation he had felt while climbing down the hull.
That spiritual wave comes from the depths of the Pacific Ocean, from the underwater city that believers call "R'lyeh".
Maybe that mental wave is also a symbol of some kind?
Could it be that the purpose of the black organization is to use the power of Shub Nicholas to break through the shackles sealed on Cthulhu?
Qin Zhibo thought carefully for a moment and felt that this was the only thing the organization could do at present.
The return of the stars is not the only condition for opening the seal on Cthulhu, but a cosmic sign before the arrival of a certain destiny moment.
What can really revive the "sleeper" may be other conditions.
But what the specific conditions are, we can only hope that the Black Feathers can get some clues from Innsmouth, the place with the highest purity of Cthulhu believers.
"Okay, we've been out long enough."
"It's time to go back..."
Conan was still leaning against the fence, frowning and thinking, his serious little face showing no trace of childishness.
Qin Zhibo rubbed his head and he came back to his senses.
"oh."
…
As soon as Qin Zhibo and Conan came back, Ayumi, one of the three little ones, shouted excitedly.
"Conan, let's take the mystery train next time!"
"Mystery Train?"
Conan sat cross-legged in the empty seat next to Mao Lilan, "What is that?"
Suzuki Sonoko introduced Conan again without hesitation, especially the safety of choosing to travel by train.
After experiencing this shipwreck incident, Suzuki Sonoko became more convinced that safety is the greatest luxury.
"In addition to the safety of the steam train, the train will randomly select the murderer and victim from the passengers during the journey, and other characters will act as detectives."
"By the way, if Uncle Maoli and Uncle Qin come together, it won't be a matter of minutes to solve this mystery!"
Suzuki Sonoko's flattery greatly benefited Mouri Kogoro, who was opposite him, and he immediately started laughing.
"Of course!"
"As long as I'm here, there are no unsolvable mysteries!"
At this time, Qin Zhibo next to him said quietly, "But there will definitely be cases waiting to be solved..."
Everyone: "..."
It is no longer a secret that Mouri Kogoro has the debuff "wherever he goes, the case will happen".
Of course, a certain Shinigami primary school student played a key role in this.
After Qin Zhibo's reminder, everyone present couldn't help but think about what if the case happened again and happened on the train?
If a bomb appeared like this time and derailed the train, it would not be as simple as a shipwreck.
Qin Zhibo smiled slightly and broke the silence: "I won't go, let's leave this opportunity to young people..."
…
After everyone finished eating, they went to the ship's infirmary to visit Cheng Shi.
At this time, Chengshi had woken up, but his body was still a little weak. The ship's doctor thought that he would just need to return to land to rest for a while.
After the ship's doctor went out, Qin Zhibo chased him to the corridor to ask about the situation.
"Excuse me, doctor, is there anything... wrong with her examination results?"
"Something's wrong?"
The ship's doctor looked at the report in his hand and replied: "Except for some anemia, no other problems have been found so far."
"If you are worried, wait until you get to a hospital on land to do a comprehensive examination."
The medical equipment on board are all prepared for routine projects, but they can basically cover 90% of the problems of the human body.
After the ship's doctor left, Qin Zhibo became even more convinced.
Cheng Shi has indeed become a woman...
Although it is somewhat unbelievable, Shub Nicholas is the Supreme Mother Goddess and possesses the most original power of life.
Changing gender is something that even humans can do, not to mention the indescribable supreme power.
However, this modification is not just a physical modification from a surgical perspective, but also a complete modification at the genetic level.
Every inch of skin and every muscle is meticulous and indistinguishable from female physiology.
In other words, Chengshi is a real woman from now on...
Back in the ward, Suzuki Sonoko was leaning in front of Narumi to observe carefully, "Miss Narumi, why do you feel that you have become more beautiful than before?"
"The skin is so thin and white that I, a 17-year-old girl, would even envy it~"
"Ah? Really?"
Cheng Shi shook his head lightly, "I don't know either..."
The three little ones also started to make noises beside the bed, "Sister Chengshi! Let's go to the Mystery Train together next time!"
As soon as the three little ones finished speaking, Mouri Kogoro on the other side had a serious face and waved his hands in disgust, "Go, go, go, didn't you hear what the doctor just said that the patient needs to rest for a while?"
"Right? Miss Cheng Shi?"
Mouri Kogoro bent down with a flattering look on his face and showed great courtesy to Narumi, which was a 180° turn from his previous attitude.
Qin Zhibo's eyes couldn't help but feel a little complicated when he saw Chengshi lying on the hospital bed talking and laughing with everyone.
Is this what you want?
…
The Coast Guard ship sailed at sea for six hours.
It was not until 1 o'clock in the afternoon that the ship finally docked at Yokohama Port, the departure point of the "Aphrodite".
A grand ribbon-cutting ceremony was held at this port just two days ago, and everyone still remembers it vividly.
Although there were a large number of rescue vehicles parked at the port, the vast majority of passengers were not injured and went home directly.
Subsequent insurance companies will arrange claims based on the contact information reserved by each passenger before boarding the ship.
Qin Zhibo learned a little bit about it. In addition to the property lost on the ship, which will be compensated according to the original value of the property, there will also be compensation for mental losses of 3 million yen per person.
If you are physically injured, compensation will vary depending on the severity of the injury.
Like the three little ones, they didn't pay a single yen for the ferry ticket and still earned 3 million yuan in compensation.
Of course, even this will not satisfy all passengers.
When he got off the ship, Qin Zhibo saw that some people had gathered and discussed using legal means to sue the shipping company, the Eighth Generation Merchant Shipping Company that provided this navigation service, to further increase the amount of compensation.
Of course, even if the lawsuit is won, it will be the insurance company that provides insurance for Yashiro Group that will ultimately pay the compensation.
Also, the "Aphrodite" sank on its maiden voyage, and the insurance company also had to pay compensation.
Therefore, the insurance company may be the biggest loser this time and completely lose money.
Because Suzuki Sonoko contacted her family in advance, the Suzuki family's motorcade came to pick them up as soon as they landed.
As soon as the convoy left Yokohama Port, Qin Zhibo saw that a large number of TV reporters had gathered at the port to report live on the scene.
It seems that during the time when we boarded the rescue ship and returned to land, the sinking incident of the luxury cruise ship had caused a stir on land.
This made Qin Zhibo wonder whether the insurance company would go bankrupt this time.
But Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand indifferently.
"I know that insurance company, they won't go bankrupt so easily~"
"You know?" Qin Zhibo asked doubtfully.
Suzuki Sonoko nodded innocently, "Well, my uncle Jiroji often chooses that insurance company to insure the treasures that Kidd is eyeing..."
"Right!"
As if something suddenly happened, Sonoko said excitedly: "This time, Uncle Jiroji also arranged a super gem for display on that mysterious train, saying it was to attract Kaito Kidd!"
"If you are lucky this time, maybe you can meet Lord Kidd!"
When it comes to Kaitou Kidd, Sonoko's little deer bumps into each other like a pregnant girl.
Only Conan across from him grinned slightly, showing a helpless expression.
hehe……
My cousin probably won't come.
When he and Kuroba Kaito flew back to Japan, Conan had already learned from him the reason why Kaito Kidd stole the gems.
Now that his father has been found and the organization's affairs have been completely revealed, there is no reason to steal any more gems.
Unless that guy has a special hobby of being a thief...
…
In a high-end hotel room, dark red curtains were hung in front of the window, leaving only a gap of less than 5cm.
The faint light that leaked in from the gap illuminated the blond woman sitting on the chair.
Although it was noon, the woman was only wearing a long white shirt, and her proud chest could be vaguely seen in the slightly open semi-transparent skirt.
At the hem of the white shirt is a pair of beautiful legs that would put any woman in the world to shame.
The only flaw is that there is a very small ring-shaped scar on the ankle of one of the legs.
Opposite the woman, an LCD TV was broadcasting the latest news.
A TV reporter stood in front of a port, behind him were a large number of dejected-looking businessmen in suits.
The title bar below the TV read - "Following Report on the Sinking of the Aphrodite".
"Currently there are 9 missing people, all of whom are crew members on the ship..."
Watching what was being played on the TV, the corners of the woman's biting mouth gradually became distorted with anger.
The delicate fingers holding the wine glass turned white from pressing it too hard.
