Conan Rick's Investigator

Now that he has already fallen in love with Mao Lilan, what's the point of talking about the future?

But the female star Mao Lilan...

Conan felt a little excited when he thought of that scene.

After all, every man’s ultimate dream is to find a female star as his wife.

Even a decent person like Kudo Yusaku is no exception!

If your childhood sweetheart happens to be a female celebrity, wouldn’t that be the happiest thing in the world?

The three little ones also echoed, "I also think Sister Xiaolan is very suitable to be an actor!"

"She will definitely become a female star in the future!" Ayumi said excitedly.

When she heard everyone's new proposal, Mao Lilan's expression was slightly surprised.

When she was having dinner in Yokohama Chinatown, a producer did try to recruit her to be the leading actress in a movie.

But later the producer died while having a meal, the murderer was the director, and the film was shelved.

When she heard that she might become the heroine of a movie, she did not resist and even thought about giving it a try.

Because Kudo Shinichi's mother was once a popular star, Mao Lilan has been in contact with her mother since she was a child, and she is also very fascinated by the charm and courage exuded by Yukiko.

But she had never imagined what her future would be like if she took this as her future.

But maybe, it's pretty good...

Just then, Qin Zhibo and Dr. Agasa came over with golf clubs.

"If it's an actor, I can't say anything else, but Kudo must be overjoyed..."

"What do you say, Conan?"

Qin Zhibo rubbed Conan's head and looked at him with a look that said, "You are so lucky, kid."

The three little ones also turned to look at Conan, only to find that Conan's face had already turned as red as a bubble teapot.

"Conan, you're blushing again!"

"Conan, you can't like Ran-nee!"

"That's right!"

The three little ones' innocent words once again put Conan in an awkward position.

“No, no!”

"I'm not!"

Conan wanted to explain, but his explanation seemed powerless amid the laughter of the crowd.

For a moment, the entire entertainment room was filled with joy.

……

The entertainment lasted until about 1130:, and then everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Qin Zhibo and Cheng Shi’s balcony room has two beds, so they can sleep separately.

After a busy whole day, although it was spent happily playing, it was also very exhausting.

Not long after my head hit the pillow, I could hear the sound of even breathing from the bed.

When he opened his eyes again, Qin Zhibo found that his body was floating in the water.

This is a strange and dark sea.

The gloomy sea water revealed a deathly silence, with only rows of tiny bubbles floating up from the deep black sea below.

As if that

Qin Zhibo couldn't control his body, and he swam slowly towards the source of the bubbles.

Gradually, the surrounding sea water became more and more turbid.

And in the darkness further below, countless bubbles were floating upwards in a regular pattern towards the sea surface.

The bubbles are like a black wave, and they also seem to have the unique rhythm of some living thing, like the beating of a heart.

Qin Zhibo couldn't help but look down, and saw a dark city, but extremely huge just from the outline, sitting at the bottom of the ocean.

Because it was still far away, he couldn't see the details of the city.

But he could see a hidden huge water film wrapping around the underwater city like a sphere.

It's like a protective membrane, but more like a mother's womb.

It was faintly beating, shaking out a lot of bubbles, as if it was gestating some unclean existence...

"call--"

Qin Zhibo suddenly opened his eyes from his sleep and sat up in bed in shock.

He kept calming his breathing, but his mind couldn't help but recall the scene in his dream just now.

That was... R'lyeh?

Different from the previous dreams or contacts, this time I sensed a layer of water film covering R'lyeh, like a seal.

The seal on that layer of water film is loosening.

Therefore, the great existence sealed in R'lyeh is no longer a hopeless prisoner, but a "child" waiting to be reborn.

When the seal is broken, it means the revival of Cthulhu.

Qin Zhibo picked up the handkerchief on the bedside table and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then turned his head to look at Cheng Shi on the other bed.

Cheng Shi was still sleeping soundly, with his shoulders tucked into the quilt, and was not woken by the noise here.

Qin Zhibo sat on the bed for a while, then decided to go out for a walk.

He took the room card, tiptoed out of the room and came to the deck.

It was 2 o'clock in the morning, the quietest time of the day.

The still bright cruise ship seemed to be sailing on a dark sea full of unknowns, like a small boat in the wind and waves, which could be swallowed up by the darkness at any time.

Chapter 1359: Dr. Agasa's Cold Joke

Qin Zhibo stood on the starboard deck of the cruise ship, facing the salty and humid sea breeze, looking at the endless dark sea in front of him.

This scene is similar to the New Foni cruise ship that Ye Caisan took in the case.

But the cruise ship we took that time was just an ordinary cruise ship, which was child's play compared to this luxury cruise ship that could carry thousands of people.

However, even though the "Aphrodite" has a deck height of 18 floors, which is like a small mountain in this sea area, Qin Zhibo still feels very depressed at this moment.

The endless darkness seemed to be about to engulf this lonely boat on the sea...

This reminded Qin Zhibo of a sentence.

Humanity lives on a calm island of ignorance, in the midst of a vast, endless black ocean.

The ocean holds countless secrets, but we should not sail too far or explore too deep.

The unknown under the mysterious sea - Cthulhu, is like Pandora's Box in ancient Greek mythology.

Once opened, it will bring destruction to mankind.

And among human beings, there is a group of people who are working on this.

……

"call……"

Qin Zhibo took a deep breath, loosened his grip on the railing, turned and walked towards the stern deck, intending to turn around and go back.

This cruise ship has a total of five decks, including the stern deck of the tower, and Qin Zhibo is on the third deck.

The only sound on the deck was the gentle lapping of the waves on the hull, and dim wall lamps lit up every few meters.

Qin Zhibo walked slowly to the rear deck and stopped just as he was about to step out from the corner.

On the platform of the stern deck, several crew members in sailor uniforms were gathered together, seemingly discussing something.

Although it is impossible for everyone to rest at the same time on such a large ship, there will still be patrols and people on duty.

But these sailors gathered together and did not look like they were discussing work. There was some inexplicable tension on everyone's face and they were whispering something.

Qin Zhibo narrowed his eyes slightly, just wondering if he could get closer to listen to what they were discussing, when he felt someone coming behind him.

He turned around suddenly and saw a man standing upright behind him with his hands hanging down.

The man had a gloomy look in his eyes, wore a white uniform, and a hat on his head that symbolized the captain.

"Sir, how can I help you?"

Qin Zhibo recognized that this person was the captain of the "Aphrodite", Hai Tengdu.

"No, I just couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk."

Kaito Wataru's eyes were slightly narrowed, and his drooping eye corners and frozen expression made him exude a gloomy temperament.

"I recognized you. You are the famous detective Qin Zhibo."

"I believe this voyage is completely safe. There's no need for you to intervene..."

"Also, the wind and waves will intensify later this night. For safety reasons, you'd better return to the cabin."

Kaito Watari deliberately raised his voice a little so that the crew members who were discussing things on the stern deck could also hear the noise.

Several crew members immediately stopped discussing and turned to look over here.

Then, without saying a word, several people left from the deck on the other side of the ship.

Qin Zhibo looked at Hai Tengdu, let out a breath, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Thank you for the reminder, Captain. I'm going back now..."

"Also, it would be best if this ship could be as absolutely safe as you say. After all, safety is the greatest luxury."

"Good night, then."

Qin Zhibo's aura was not at all false. He said goodbye to Hai Tengdu in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, and then walked back along the original route.

After returning to the room, Qin Zhibo sat down on the bed and couldn't help thinking back to what had just happened.

Those crew members obviously didn't seem to be discussing work on the ship, and it was only the first day of sailing, so there wouldn't be any emergency situations.

And Captain Kaito Watari is obviously also a

In fact, I was meeting with a few people, but I had to stop because they found out that I was also there.

Qin Zhibo was also a little surprised that Hai Tengdu knew him.

As a captain who has been sailing on the sea for a long time and living a life almost isolated from the land, he knows a private detective who has only risen in recent times.

The captain should not be responsible for such detailed work as reviewing the passenger list.

This bad premonition made Qin Zhibo feel that this voyage would not be simple.

……

The next day.

Everyone gathered in the restaurant and had a sumptuous buffet breakfast.

After breakfast, several people discussed today's itinerary.

In the morning, we basked in the sun on the deck and then played hide-and-seek.

As the weather warmed up in the afternoon, we went to the public swimming pool on the ship to practice swimming.

Qin Zhibo’s words yesterday about practicing swimming before the ship sinks still had an impact on the three little ones.

After breakfast, everyone basked in the sun on the fourth-floor stern deck.

Although we were basking in the sun, the temperature on the sea was not high and there was a light sea breeze, so not only was there no heat at all, but it was quite refreshing instead.

Sitting on the chair, Mao Lilan stretched lazily, with a translucent green sun-protection jacket draped over the back of the chair, and an orange suspender vest showing off her girlishness to the fullest.

"It feels so good."
