Vol 20 Chapter 162: Popular now

"It only takes three hours to sail from Shikishima."

On the deck, Goro Kinoshita said with a smile: "This time Mr. Mori has promised to give us a speech and has gone so far to such a remote place. I really don't know how to thank you."

Kogoro Mouri smiled nervously: "But you are really far away."

Seeing that his father was embarrassed, Mao Lilan pinched him behind him, and Mouri Kogoro suddenly shouted in pain.

"Uncle Kinoshita." Xie Chen said at this time: "Seven years ago, the ship that suddenly went missing, which was equivalent to one billion yuan, was hoarded. Recently, it was discovered, right?"

"Yes." Goro Kinoshita said, "The residents of the island said it was a ghost ship, which caused a commotion."

Mao Lilan said: "But I heard that the gold nuggets were not found in the end."

Goro Kinoshita said: "Yes, I don't know if there were gold nuggets on it before. It is really suspicious. To be honest, this ship alone is enough to improve the economy on our island. Our village chief is very happy."

Kogoro Mori scratched his cheek and said, "So the ghost ship revitalized your village?"

"Of course." Goro Kinoshita said with a smile: "Not only that, we also invited some celebrities to visit the island like last time. This is also an important part of revitalizing the village."

"Yo!" Mouri Kogoro said in surprise: "I didn't think I was so famous already."

"Of course." Kinoshita Goro complimented: "When it comes to the name of the world's famous detective, Kogoro Mouri, I believe that the whole country..."

With a sound of "Bing", Goro Kinoshita hadn't finished speaking. The man wearing sunglasses next to him seemed to be taken aback. The telescope in his hand fell on the deck.

The man in sunglasses pursed his lips, picked up the binoculars and walked quickly into the cabin under the suspicion of everyone.

"Uncle, who is that person?" Xie Chen asked.

Kinoshita Goro said: "He is a staff member of Tokyo East Travel Agency. Because of the ghost ship commotion, their tour group hopes to use this as a selling point and organize a group to come here."

Xie Chen nodded, and after a while, they saw a green island, faint green peaks, and the verdant mountains and plains, which seemed to breathe fragrance.

After the boat docked, the village name welcomed Kogoro Mouri with a banner.

"I didn't expect everyone to welcome me so warmly." Kogoro Mouri adjusted his tie. What excites him is that many female high school students in short skirts stood in the front row, screaming his name.

"Mr. Maori." The Mediterranean head-shaped village head stepped forward and held Maori Kogoro's hand, and said very enthusiastically: "The journey has been exhausted, it must be very tired. I am so grateful for you to be here. I am the village head. Takeo Mikami"

"Hello village chief..."

"Is this poor uncle really so famous?" Before Kogoro Mouri was humble, he was interrupted by the little girl beside the village chief.

The little girl wears ponytails, has a delicate face, and is wearing a red hat and clothes. She looks only about ten years old, and is a little taller than Xie Chen.

The little girl blinked and said, "When I heard that a detective was coming, I thought it would be a handsome brother."

"Xiaoling!" Takeo Mikami hurriedly stopped, "You are so rude to treat your father's guests like this."

Sanshangling ignored her father, but ran directly in front of Xie Chen and walked around Xie Chen.

"What's wrong..." Xie Chen said with a smile.

auzw.com Sanshangling stood in front of Xie Chen and asked unceremoniously: "Hey, what's your name."

"Xie Chen..."

"What a strange name, is it popular in Tokyo now?"

Xie Chen shrugged and did not answer.

"Whatever." Mikami Ling said with his hands behind his back: "My name is Mikami Bell. It looks like I am older than you, and I am your sister."

As she said, she grabbed Xie Chen's arm and said with a smile: "It's very popular to associate with people younger than herself."

"Really..." Xie Chen smiled awkwardly.

At this time, the man in sunglasses with the binoculars walked down, and Goro Kinoshita immediately introduced: "This is from Toto Travel Agency..."

"I am Yasuo Uehara from Toto Travel Agency, please advise me." The man in sunglasses said.

"You are welcome." The village chief said with a smile: "As long as we can attract tourists, we are willing to do our best to cooperate with your company."

Yasuo Uehara asked directly: "Where is the ghost ship?"

Afterwards, Takeo Murakami led everyone to an open-air warehouse on the left side of the island, where the legendary ghost ship was placed.

The hull is in tatters and cracks have been produced in many places. It is hard to imagine how it was salvaged.

"This one is the ghost ship you asked." Takeo Mikami introduced.

Before he could finish his words, Yasuo Uehara walked over directly, and he had no choice but to say, "I will introduce you."

"No need." Yasuo Uehara stepped onto the boat ladder. "I can look around faster by myself."

Seeing him enter the cabin unceremoniously, Takeo Mikami showed a dissatisfied expression.

Xie Chen also approached the hull, took a look at it, and then said, "This ship has been sunk on the bottom of the sea for several years, but this ship has not grown rust except for the bottom of the ship."

"Idiot." Mouri Kogoro said, "That's why it is called a ghost ship."

"This is too unscientific..." Xie Chen murmured.

At the same time, on the hillside near the lighthouse, a man with long hair was watching them with a telescope.

Afterwards, Takeo Mikami took them to the villagers' commune. A plaque welcoming the famous detective Kogoro Mouri was hung on the commune. He had already asked people to prepare a rich lunch and expensive drinks here.

After everyone was seated, Takeo Mikami poured the wine for Kogoro Mouri and said with a smile: "Mr. Mouri, there is still some time before the speech begins. Take a sip first."

"Thank you, then." Kogoro Mouri drank it unceremoniously. "It tastes so good."

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Mikami Takeo approached Kogoro Mouri and asked, "I said Mr. Mouri, after you give a speech, I have to borrow your wisdom for something."

Although Kogoro Mouri was slightly drunk, he still said clearly: "You hope I can help you find the place where the Dragon God sank, right?"

"Sure enough to be a detective..."..
