Case Closed: The Strongest Uncle!

Chapter 92: Family Feud.

And this cruise ship looks extravagantly luxurious. Resting on it for a night is like camping on a deserted island. Kogoro Mouri weighed it and naturally agreed.

This Kitaro Hatamoto couldn't help but be overjoyed. He turned out to be a real fan when he was nearly fifty years old.

Ran and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This kind of result is naturally very good. If they really want to stay on the island for one night, it will be really difficult.

...

The luxury cruise ship drove out towards Yokohama, and the afterglow of the sunset swayed on everyone's faces, making people feel very comfortable.

The Hatamoto family is really rich and powerful. It has covered the upper two floors of this cruise ship. The sailors, captain and shipping staff are all on the bottom floor. They are not allowed to come up and disturb them. This also forms a private space.

Mouri Kogoro and Kitaro Hatamoto sat on the deck, and the two clinked glasses with wine: "So, your Hatamoto family still has this kind of rule!"

"Yes, since the Edo period, anyone in the family needs to come to our ancestors to get married on Hatamoto Island, so we specially arranged a cruise ship to hold an engagement ceremony on the island. Now, that's my niece Hatamoto Natsue. Right now she is studying at the Department of Business Management at the University of Tokyo." Kitaro Hatamoto pointed to his left.

Kogoro turned his head and saw a beautiful woman in a light blue dress. She had slender black hair and a hint of sadness on her fair and beautiful cheeks.

Looking at the sea in the distance, her eyes seemed to be slightly greenish. She has a quiet and beautiful temperament.

She is really beautiful. Kogoro Mouri looked at the bride-to-be and was a little disappointed. He didn't expect such a woman to get married.

Natsue Hatamoto, who was leaning against the fence on the deck, seemed to perceive Kogoro Mouri's gaze and turned her head.

With a smile on Kogoro's face, the mature man's demeanor spontaneously spread out, and he raised his glass in the distance as a greeting.

Natsue also smiled at him, impeccable etiquette, she is really a woman who makes people feel good!

As soon as he turned his eyes, there was a young man wearing a suit with a pocky face on the side of the deck, who was also attending the engagement banquet. He was constantly drawing something with a paintbrush in his hand.

This bald fan just introduced him to his son, the outstanding young painter Ichiro Hatamoto.

The bald father spoke of his pockmarked son with pride.

...

At this moment, an old man with white hair and beard came down from the second floor of the cruise ship. He was wearing a kimono, and his beard and eyebrows were very thick. When he saw Mouri Kogoro and others, he couldn't help but be furious: "Bastard! Wasn't this ship taken by us? How come there are outsiders?"

Kitaro Hatamoto immediately sweated on his head and stood up and explained, "Sorry, Dad, this is a celebrity from Tokyo..."

"I don't care where he is a celebrity. You are quite brave. You can make a decision without asking me!" This old man is the father that the bald fan Kitaro said just now. The head of the Hatamoto House, Gozo Hatamoto. He was so furious, his face was full of violence.

Kitaro Hatamoto kept apologizing.

Gozo Hatamoto glanced at Kitaro Hatamoto, and then at Ichiro Hatamoto, who was drawing on the side. He couldn't help but say: "You're so useless, and your son is also a waste. He wants to realize this unrealistic fantasy!"

Ichiro Hatamoto couldn't help squeezing the paintbrush in his hand, his head drooping.

After saying that, Gozo Hatamoto turned around and walked into the cabin on the first floor, and said, "Call Takeshi to come to my room later!"

The old guy left, and everyone on the deck breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, a handsome young man appeared, that is Miss Natsue fiance Takeshi. As soon as he appeared, another yellow-haired man opened his mouth and said, "Takeshi, the old man asked you to go find him in his room."

Takeshi looked apologetically at Natsue, and then followed to the cabin.

The yellow-haired man leaned against the railing with a rather domineering woman in his arms.

This is the brother-in-law of Hatamoto Takeshi, Tatsuo Hatamoto, and the woman he was holding was Natsue's older sister, Akie Hatamoto.

In this cold weather, Akie Hatamoto was wearing a backless dress, but she was not afraid of freezing.

This is the case for the upper-class families of Japan, which is the same as that of other countries.

In order to prevent the outflow of property, these men married women from the Hatamoto family, so they all changed their surnames to Hatamoto.

Including this bald fan of Kogoro Mouri, Kitaro Hatamoto, also changed his surname because he married the eldest daughter of the Hatamoto family, Mariko Hatamoto.

The two young women, Natsue and Akie, are the daughters of Gozo's eldest son, Soichi Hatamoto.

At this moment, the eldest daughter Mariko Hatamoto and the second son Joji Hatamoto walked out when they heard the movement. Joji Hatamoto was wearing a white suit with a burly figure. He spoke to the bald man, Kitaro and said, "Don't mind. Dad is in a bad mood after eating my cooking, so he becomes like this. I blame my cooking. It was not good, and I made the western food that my father hates most.

When Natsue heard this, she walked over and gently comforted: "Uncle, your cooking skills are very good, everyone likes it very much."

Joji Hatamoto smiled: "Natsue, don't comfort me."

The eldest daughter of Gozo Hatamoto, a fat aunt in a kimono, Mariko Hatamoto spoke to the bald man and said, "My dear, you can bear it for a while. Anyway, Dad is getting older and won't live long, let's just endure. Once he dies, the entire Hatamoto family's property will be yours."

She did not shy away from others and said it directly.

Akie Hatamoto, who was hugged by the yellow-haired man, sneered and said, "Auntie, I'm afraid you are too naive."

Mariko's face changed immediately: "What do you mean by that?"

A smile appeared on Akie's face, and she whispered near Mariko's ear.

Mouri Kogoro couldn't help feeling speechless when he saw this scene, and it was the kind of grievances of dog-blooded giants and the struggle for property, which was completely torn.

...

When the bride-to-be Natsue saw this scene, she shook her head, left the crowd again, and approached the deck. The sea breeze blew her black hair, revealing her melancholy eyes, and her eyes seemed to be filled with tears.

Upon seeing this, Kogoro Mouri took two glasses of red wine, approached Miss Natsue, and said: "As a bride-to-be who is about to get married tomorrow, it is really puzzling to show such a sad expression."

"Mouri detective!"

"You recognize me, um, let me guess, what are you worrying about?" Kogoro held his chin in thought.

Natsue couldn't help showing curiosity. She wanted to see if the famous detective in Japan was as godly as the legend said.

"Well, do you miss your parents who died in a car accident last year? It seems wrong, is it because the various fights in the family make you hate it? It doesn't seem right, oh, I think the bridegroom who you will get married to tomorrow is not a good match, right?"

As soon as Mouri Kogoro said one reason, Natsue's expression of surprise on her face increased, and as he continued to guess, the expression of surprise was even worse. In the end, her small mouth was slightly open, completely incredulous.

Kogoro Mouri handed her a glass of red wine with a gentle smile on her face: "Cheer"

Natsue couldn't help but smiled and shook her head, took the red wine, and took a sip:

"You're amazing, Mouri detective, is this really the first time you and I meet? Just one glance, you can see through what I'm thinking."

Kogoro smiled, his whole face was very tough in the setting sun, he turned his head and looked at Natsue: "I am not that great, maybe I just have a connection with Miss Natsue."

At this moment, Natsue's heartbeat speeded up, and her face became a little red, and he said, "Mr. Mouri, you are so funny!"

Quietly, Kogoro Mouri and Natsue Hatamoto got closer, and they began to talk and laugh in the sea breeze.

...

Ran, Haibara, and Conan were eating fruit salad on a table in the distance.

Ran was unaware of this. But Conan saw Mouri Kogoro hooking up with a woman again, and the single dog's resentment could not help but erupt, turning grief and anger into appetite, and dealing with the fruit salad in front of him with a sullen expression.
