Chapter 166: Conspiracy on the Horizontal Line (1)
The sun was slowly setting below the horizon, tinting the sky a pale golden hue that gradually transitioned to a deep blue. A luxury cruise ship sailed through this beautiful sunset glow, its bow breaking through the water, leaving a white streak. Water droplets danced on the side of the ship, making a gentle gurgling sound.
On the deck of the cruise ship, tourists were enjoying this wonderful moment. Some of them leaned back on comfortable lounge chairs, holding a glass of champagne in their hands, admiring the picturesque scenery.
Two people, one big and one small, were lying on the guardrail, looking at the sunset near the horizon from afar. One of them was an elementary school student wearing glasses, and the other was a girl who looked like a high school student. They could be said to be a handsome man and a beautiful woman...
The beautiful girl also had distinctive hair, a unicorn-like horn that pierced the sky. She suddenly spoke, breaking the silence and attracting the boy's attention...
Just when the two of them were chatting affectionately, a young man's powerful voice suddenly broke this beautiful scene.
"Ran, Conan, it's time for dinner. Sonoko asked me to call you to eat together...! And the wind is quite strong, so it's best not to stand there all the time, or Conan will fall down accidentally...! Oh no, Conan's head is a little big, he probably can't get down...!"
(Indeed, if you look closely, Conan's height is exactly in the middle. He made a move and fell directly into the sea. But who made him a big-headed doll...)
"Ah, we'll be there soon. Conan, please come inside quickly and be careful not to fall...!"
Obviously, the beautiful girl was Ran Mouri. She only noticed at this time that Conan's height was indeed a bit difficult to describe. Although his head was a bit big and might not be able to fit in, Ran was still worried, so she quickly asked him to stand a little further inside and then called him to prepare to eat together.
Conan looked at Hua Lantian angrily. First, he was angry that Hua Lantian had suddenly interrupted his and Xiaolan's night together. Second, he was angry that Hua Lantian had mocked him, both openly and covertly, for being short after becoming smaller and having a big-headed doll-like appearance...
Hua Lantian ignored his gaze, turned around, smiled secretly, and then led the two of them to meet up with the main group and go to the restaurant for dinner together.
This time, Hua Lantian planned to go directly to Akiyoshi Miwako after dinner and have a good talk with her first, because she was the ultimate mastermind behind the incident. Once he could deal with her, he could have a good vacation...
As for the stupid screenwriter Kusaka Hironari who was used as a scapegoat by her, we will talk about him later. He couldn't make any waves anyway.
The three of them quickly arrived at the restaurant entrance and immediately saw a large group of people. Counting from the front to the back, from tallest to shortest, there were exactly nine people in total.
Everyone greeted each other, then gathered in groups of three or five, started chatting, and waited for the waiter to arrange a seat for them.
At this time, Dr. Agasa handed Conan a cufflink with an eavesdropping function. When Kogoro Mouri saw the exquisite cufflink, he snatched it away and put it on himself. At the same time, he did not forget to mock Conan as a brat.
This really made Conan angry. He was already upset about turning into a ghost, and today he was scolded one after another. He couldn't bear it anymore.
He just raised his foot to kick Maori Kogoro, but his spell was interrupted again and his foot missed.
"Oh, you're the famous, sleeping Kogoro, the great detective Mori-san, right? And this is the rising stock god, Mr. Lan Tianhua...! Let me introduce myself, I'm a screenwriter, my name is Kusaka Hironari...!"
