One day, Mori Kogoro received an invitation from the village head of Shiki Island. Kogoro was invited here to make a speech about a ghost ship that had been lost at sea seven years before.
Of course, Kogoro Mouri would not refuse such a good deed of getting a name and speaking fees, and he agreed.
On Saturday, Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri, Conan, Aizen, and Sonoko Suzuki took the boat that came to pick them up to Shiki Island.
Because it was the weekend, Ran and Conan also followed, and Aizen also decided to go, Because the relationship with Suzuki Sonoko had reached 90 points, Aizen wanted to find a chance to eat Suzuki early in the morning Sonoko, this time happened to be spending the night in Shiki Island, so he invited Suzuki Sonoko to go with him.
Received Aizen's invitation, Suzuki Sonoko was too happy, there was no reason to refuse, and happily agreed to go with him.
The person who came to pick up the group was an old man named Goro Kinoshita, an assistant to the village chief.
From Goro Kinoshita, the group learned that the reason they invited Kogoro Mouri to give a speech was that the yacht carrying gold nuggets equivalent to one billion yen appeared again seven years ago and appeared near Shiki. The village chief thought this should be used as a gimmick to make Shiki a tourist attraction and develop the economy of the island.
Therefore, Shiki Island needs to invite celebrities to Shiki, and they chose Mouri Kogoro.
Mouri Kogoro was very happy when he learned that he was said to be a celebrity, with pride.
Shiki Island is a long way from Tokyo. The group set off in the morning, but they didn't arrive at Shiki Island until noon.
Arriving at Shiki Island, the boat docked. The village head, Takeo Mikami, led the residents to welcome Mouri Kogoro on the shore. Banners were erected on the shore. There were at least 20 or 30 residents, and cheers continued to ring out.
Kogoro Mouri had never been treated this way before, and he was overjoyed when he saw this. After carefully checking his appearance, he stepped on the wooden planks laid horizontally by the villagers and got off the boat to the shore.
Suzuki Sonoko held Aizen's left arm, and couldn't help curling his lips when he saw this, and said, "I didn't expect uncle to be so popular on this island."
Aizen smiled and said, "Master Mouri is a detective, and it's normal to be popular. Not to mention that the other party took the initiative to invite Master Mouri."
Ran was also a little surprised, but in the end, she was mostly happy, after all, this shows that her father is getting more and more capable, and as a daughter, she can only be proud.
"I'm so grateful for your presence, Mouri Detective."
Village head Takeo Mikami took Mouri Kogoro's hand with both hands and shook it twice.
"Where is it!"
Mouri Kogoro said with a smile on his face.
"Is this not-so-good uncle really so famous?"
A discordant voice suddenly sounded this time, but it was a little girl next to the village chief Takeo Mikami. The little girl looked at Kogoro Mouri and said, "When I heard that a famous detective was coming, I thought it would be a handsome uncle."
"What did you say?"
Mouri Kogoro, who was very happy at first, was immediately disappointed and very angry when he was told this.
Mikami Takeo said to the girl: "Suzu Mikami, how could you be so rude to father's guests, why don't you apologize quickly."
Before the girl called Suzu Mikami could say anything, Mouri Kogoro stroked the little girl's head with his hands and said: "Suzu Mikami is so cute."
Suzu Mikami ran away directly, almost causing Kogoro Mouri to fall, she ran to Conan's body and looked around him.
"Why?"
Conan looked a little unnatural.
Suzu Mikami looked at Conan and asked, "What's your name?"
Conan replied, "Conan, Edogawa Conan."
Suzu Mikami said strangely: "What a strange name, is this a popular name in Tokyo now?"
"It's none of your business."
Conan turned his head to one side, thinking to himself.
"Whatever, my name is Suzu Mikami. It looks like I'm older than you, and I'm your older sister."
Suzu Mikami said as she hugged Conan's arm, just like Sonoko Suzuki hugged Aizen's arm. she smiled and said to Conan: "Now it's popular to date people younger than yourself."
Hearing this, Conan couldn't help being speechless, how old was the little girl now, and she even want to date?
"Hee hee!"
Suzuki Sonoko chuckled, looked at Conan, and said, "Conan kid, you are really cute, I think you should date this little girl."
····································· ·····
Ran also watched with a smile on her face, thinking it was very interesting. But if she knew that Conan was Kudo Shinichi, she might not think so.
"Nosy women."
Conan cursed secretly in his heart, very displeased with Suzuki Sonoko's messed up mandarin ducks.
Aizen also said: "Conan and Mikami are very suitable, you get along well, and maybe you can become good friends."
Mikami looked at the three adults, and said: "I think this big brother and big sister is not very good, but this big sister is more suitable for the big brother." She pointed to Ran and Aizen while speaking.
"What did you say? Damn brat!"
Suzuki Sonoko immediately became angry when she heard the words. She didn't like Mikami's words very much, so she was a little unhappy.
... ... ...
Ran's cheeks were flushed by Mikami's words. Seeing Suzuki Sonoko was angry, she immediately said to Mikami: "Little Mikami, hurry up!" Apologize to Sister Sonoko, Sonoko, and Aizen are boyfriend and girlfriend, please don't talk nonsense."
Aizen patted Suzuki Sonoko's palm and said, "It's just a little girl, why are you so angry?"
Suzuki Sonoko stared at Mikami Suzu, but Mikami Suzu made a face at Suzuki Sonoko and did not apologize.
Even so, Suzuki Sonoko also knew that the little girl didn't know anything, and it was useless for her to be angry with the little girl, she could only be secretly depressed.
At this time, Mouri Kogoro and others went to see the so-called ghost ship, and Aizen followed him.
There was another person who came to the island by boat with Aizen and others. That person was a member of the Tohto Travel Agency named Yasuo Uehara. He seemed to be very concerned about the ghost ship and boarded the ghost ship first.
When he came to the ghost ship, Aizen felt that he was being spied on. He turned his head to look but saw a person on the mountain in the distance looking at him with a telescope.
Aizen asked Goro Kinoshita who that person was, and learned that the man was Kouji Hamada who kept the lighthouse. Aizen just nodded and didn't say anything.
The ghost ship group just took a look at it for a while, and then they were invited by the village chief Takeo Mikami to have a meal.
