I'm in Detective Conan, but it's a chaotic battlefield.

Is this a woman's fighting instinct ingrained in her genes?

Xiaolan retorted without backing down: "Isn't it normal for childhood sweethearts to have a few promises? Are you... jealous?"

A spark flew when their eyes met.

Tourists passing by also cast curious glances at them.

Male tourists, besides being curious, also felt a hint of envy, as if they really wanted to enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by beautiful girls.

But Chen Nuo, caught in the middle of a chaotic situation, didn't see it that way.

Because both this "girlfriend" and "childhood sweetheart" have problems, and big problems at that.

Chen Nuo felt very uncomfortable being stared at like a monkey, so he wanted to use the excuse that the boat was about to leave to get away.

But then he thought about it again.

Perhaps I can take this opportunity to tell Xiaolan about my new identity to avoid trouble later.

The reason he changed his identity was mainly because the organization was worried that his face and identity would not match when he was on a mission, which would cause unnecessary trouble.

When dealing with Ran and Kogoro Mouri, whom she had only recently met and who didn't know much about her background, she could simply tell them that she had changed her name and revealed her new identity.

Chen Nuo: "Actually, that's my new name. I just told you in advance that day."

"A new name?" Xiaolan looked confused.

Chen Nuo thought he would have to explain a few more things, but Xiao Lan immediately understood it as: I understand, you must have changed your name because of the investigation, right?

Okay, interpret it however you like, let's just get by for now.

In addition, to Chen Nuo's surprise and delight, Xiao Lan patted her chest and said that she would help him explain the name issue to Kogoro Mouri, Eri Kisaki, and others.

This saved Chen Nuo a lot of trouble.

He watched as Xiaolan's chest bounced wildly as she made her promise, and thought to himself that she was such a gentle and considerate girl.

However, his view was quickly blocked by Shiho Miyano.

While scolding Xiaolan for making a foul in front of her boyfriend, Shiho Miyano pinched Chen Nuo's arm hard.

Chen Nuo then remembered that he still had a girlfriend by his side.

He quickly turned his gaze to Shirley's snow-white breasts below her collar, as if to show his loyalty.

As a result, the pain in my arm became even more intense.

After arguing for a long time, the group naturally missed the time to board the return ship.

The three stood on the shore, the damp sea breeze blowing in their faces, and the waves crashing in layers, white foam appearing on the crests.

The passenger ship in sight had shrunk to a tiny dot.

It will soon disappear below the sea level.

Chen Nuo glanced at Xiao Lan and Shiho Miyano standing beside him.

He wondered if he was going to spend the night on the island with two beautiful girls.

If it's a normal girlfriend and childhood sweetheart, then it's something to look forward to.

Right now, all he worries about is whether the two of them will start arguing in the middle of the night and involve him.

"Honestly, why didn't Sonoko call me?" Ran took her phone out of her coat pocket. "I'll call Sonoko and see if we can get the boat back to pick us up."

Chen Nuo looked at her expectantly.

Immediately afterwards, he heard a cell phone ringing from the woods behind him.

"Hello? What's wrong, Lan?"

Accompanied by the sound, a girl wearing a headband and revealing her smooth forehead emerged from the woods.

She was covered in dust, and her delicate face was also smeared with dirt. There was a red, swollen patch on her slender, white arm, as if she had been bitten by something.

Behind her was a bespectacled kid who looked equally disheveled.

Ran: "Sonoko, Conan? Didn't you get on the ship?"

Sonoko: "A boat? What kind of boat?"

Xiaolan looked at her best friend speechlessly.

Conan looked at Chen Nuo with displeasure, his face saying, "Why is this bastard following us again? Does he really want to pursue Ran?"

After some explanation.

Chen Nuo roughly understood what had happened.

After arriving on the island, Sonoko Suzuki saw a handsome guy and chased after him to strike up a conversation, but she scared him away.

Sonoko was not satisfied, so she captured Conan to be her detective dog and help her find the handsome guy's whereabouts.

Not only did they fail to find it, the two almost got lost, and Sonoko was even bitten by a snake while walking through the woods.

Xiaolan asked with a worried look, "Are you alright, Sonoko?"

“It’s alright, Conan said it wasn’t a poisonous snake, but the wound definitely can’t be left untreated.” Sonoko thought for a moment and said, “I’ll call home and ask them to arrange a boat to come over.”

Xiaolan: "That's the only way."

"Huh? Are these two also tourists who missed the boat...? Huh? This guy looks a bit like Shinichi." Sonoko then noticed Chen Nuo and Sherry.

Chen Nuo was about to greet them and explain when Sonoko shook her head and said, "No, no, it doesn't seem quite right. Shinichi doesn't seem that handsome."

Conan looked at Sonoko with dissatisfaction and decided that he would never help her find handsome guys again.

Just then, Conan caught a glimpse of a boat passing by on the side of the island.

"A boat! There's a boat!" Conan shouted.

The others also turned their gazes in that direction and discovered that there really was a luxury cruise ship sailing along the coastline.

And it seems like it will just happen to pass by their location.

"Great! If we can get on this boat, we won't have to trouble your family to arrange a boat to come over." Xiaolan ran happily to the shore, jumping and waving her hands.

Sonoko shielded her eyes with her hand and gazed at the giant ship: "Huh? That looks like the Hatamoto family crest hanging on that ship."

Chen Nuo perked up upon hearing this.

If I remember correctly, there were two murders on this luxury cruise ship.

.

Although the process was somewhat bumpy, the group successfully boarded the luxury cruise ship.

Those on board are all direct members of the Hatamoto family, but there are only two people on the deck at the moment.

One is Hatamoto Natsue, the eldest daughter of the Hatamoto family, standing in front of the railing, looking dejected.

Another one is sitting in front of the easel sketching, Hatamoto Ichiro, the third-generation male of the Hatamoto family.

He was also the perpetrator in this case.

"What a beautiful sunset!" Xiaolan leaned on the deck railing, gazing at the endless horizon. "We're so lucky to be on this ship."

Conan pouted: "Yeah, it's all thanks to Sonoko-neechan for insisting on chasing that handsome guy that we had the chance to ride on such a luxurious ship."

"You little brat, what's wrong with you?" Sonoko raised her little fist in a show of defiance, even though she had just finished treating the snake bite.

Even the slightest movement caused her to grimace in pain, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"You can't blame Sonoko entirely, I missed the return ship too," Ran explained.

Conan became even more dissatisfied upon hearing this and secretly glared at Chen Nuo.

Chen Nuo paid no attention to this; he was carefully observing the members of the Hatake family on the ship.

Because there are many people involved in this case, we need to identify them in advance to avoid making mistakes during the deduction process.

However, Chen Nuo had already gone through this case in his mind several times.

It's probably the gloomy man, Hatamoto Ichiro, who's currently drawing. He likes Hatamoto Natsue, who has a princess-cut hairstyle, but because they are close relatives, his marriage proposal was rejected by the head of the Hatamoto family.

Therefore, harboring hatred, she tricked and killed Master Hatamoto, then framed Xia Jiang's fiancé, Xiao Wu, for the murder. This resulted in the killing of another person.

This is one of the few cases in Detective Conan where two victims appear in a single case.

Chen Nuo was surprised to run into this; gaining two souls at once is quite satisfying.

Just then, someone came onto the deck.

"So you're the second young lady of the Suzuki family. I was drinking with your father at a banquet just a few days ago." A portly middle-aged man walked over and started talking to Sonoko.

Not long after, Hatamoto Gozo, the head of the Hatamoto family, also came to the deck and reprimanded his children.

However, the old man was quite polite to Sonoko, probably because of the Suzuki Group's status.

Time flew by and it was evening.

Before the dinner started, Chen Nuo felt a bit stuffy staying in the room and also felt a little seasick.

So I went up to the deck to get some fresh air.

I didn't expect there was someone else on the deck.

Akie Hatamoto, dressed in a revealing black dress, was leaning on the railing smoking.

Although she wasn't particularly beautiful, she was very good at dressing up, and with her slim figure and social standing, she had quite a few suitors before she got married.

However, Chen Nuo had no interest in this kind of woman.

Chen Nuo deliberately went to a slightly farther spot and leaned on the railing to look at the sea.

The high heels made a crisp sound as they tapped on the ground.

Akie Hatamoto walked over on her own initiative. Her perfume was a bit strong, which Chen Nuo didn't like.

“People who don’t travel by boat often are very prone to seasickness,” said Akie Hatamoto.

Chen Nuo: "Yeah, it feels much better to come out and get some fresh air."

"Want a cigarette?" She handed Chen Nuo a half-smoked cigarette.

"I don't smoke, thank you."

"Don't be so insensitive." Akie Hatamoto took a deep drag and blew the smoke into Chen Nuo's face.
