Chapter 398 When Conan, Hattori and Yuya, the three Death Gods, gathered together...

Although Ryūmoto Kitaro didn't know why he was suddenly scolded, he had long been accustomed to it and lowered his head and endured it silently as usual.

The second-in-command, Shoji Ryūmoto, showed an embarrassed expression - he was a chef, and he was in charge of the meals for this trip.

However, he was good at cooking French cuisine, but his father Hatamoto Gozo preferred Japanese cuisine. No matter how he cooked, he would be scolded, and even the carefully prepared food would be overturned.

Just now, Hatamoto Gozo cursed that the food he ate was just pig food, and he was referring to him.

After scolding his son-in-law and second son, Hatamoto Gozo still felt unsatisfied. He turned around and saw his grandson drawing on the bow. He glanced at the drawing paper and continued to curse: "I am useless, and my son is not much better! He can only draw pictures and have unrealistic daydreams all day long!"

Ichiro Ryūmoto glanced at the drawing paper, did not refute, and lowered his head in silence.

After a lot of cursing, Hatamoto Gozo suddenly felt much calmer. He looked at his fiancé, who was his future grandson-in-law, and frowned, saying, "Xiao Wu, come here. I have something to tell you!"

"Yes!" Takeshi Zaishiro shuddered subconsciously, looked at Ryūmoto Natsue nervously, then trotted to catch up with Hatamoto Gozo.

The backs of two people, one old and one young, quickly disappeared on the deck.

Behind them, Ryūmoto Natsue smiled awkwardly at Suzuki Sonoko and others.

The cruise ship was very large and the scenery on the sea was also very beautiful. Everyone soon forgot about Ryūmoto Hirozo and started to enjoy the scenery.

After looking at the scenery for a while, Mao Lilan ran to the kitchen, and Suzuki Sonoko and Toyama Kazuha followed her.

Although he was scolded by Hatamoto Gozo and said that the food he cooked was pig food, Hatamoto Shoji was actually a famous chef who often appeared on food shows, and Mao Li Ran had also seen him on TV.

It’s a rare opportunity to meet him in person, so I immediately wanted to ask him for advice. Maybe I can even learn a little bit of French cuisine!

As for Yuya, he stood at the stern with Miyano Shiho.

"Like this, like this, raise your hands again..." Yuya fiddled with Miyano Shiho's arms, made her stand in front of him, then stood behind her, put his arms around her slender waist, and shouted with a serious look.

"You jump I jump!"

Miyano Shiho was very upset, but she had to cooperate with her boyfriend who suddenly went crazy.

Yuya rested his chin on her shoulder and said softly, "Mio, did you know that there are actually several translations for 'you jump i jump'?"

"Oh? What is it?" Miyano Shiho asked with a raised eyebrow.

Youya leaned close to her ear and whispered, "My favorite among them is Life and Death Together."

Miyano Shiho was stunned for a moment, her face suddenly turned red, and she turned her head to look at Yuya with a dazed look.

Their eyes met, as if they were about to draw a thread.

The other side of the bow

Hattori Heiji and Conan were chatting casually while looking at the sea.

Conan asked, "Come to think of it, I haven't asked you why you want to go to Mermaid Island yet? You don't really believe in the legend of eternal youth, do you?"

Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes and said, "Youya, how come even a little brat like you thinks of me like this?"

"How could I possibly believe that?" He took out a letter and handed it to Conan. "That's why."

"A letter of commission?" Conan guessed it immediately and opened it.

The content of the letter was very brief, with only one sentence: "I will be killed by the mermaid, please save me!"

The signature is Saori Kadowaki, and there is a phone number attached at the back.

Conan was full of questions: "What kind of commission is this?"

Hattori Heiji took the letter and held his chin up as he said, "I was also very confused at the time, so I called her immediately to ask if she was being targeted by someone, but she couldn't explain anything clearly. She just kept saying that she had lost her dugong arrow and would be killed by a mermaid, so she asked me to do something to save her."

"I saw that her mental state was not right, so I suggested that she go to the hospital to make an appointment... But she got angry and hung up the phone."

Conan's mouth twitched slightly. Go to the hospital to register? What? Is he mentally ill?

However, although Hattori Heiji's words were a bit impolite, they seemed to make some sense, especially when the other party had mental problems.

Conan tilted his head and asked, "So you went there specifically to supervise her medical treatment?"

Hattori Heiji's forehead darkened. I think it's you who needs to see the doctor?

He explained: "Of course not. The letter came with a commission fee in cash. I couldn't get the remittance address, and I didn't want to take the money for nothing, so I had to come to her according to the address and pay her back in person."

"By the way, let's see if she is mentally ill or if she really encountered something."

"Another thing is that Mermaid Island is also a tourist destination. If there are no problems, we can just treat it as a trip."

Conan nodded in understanding: "I see."

···

It was getting dark.

Everyone entered the cabin and came to the restaurant to prepare for dinner.

The process of waiting for dinner is a bit boring, and there is not enough time to play poker.

The few of them sat there for a while. Ryūmoto Natsue felt that as the host, he couldn't neglect Yuya and the others when inviting them to take the boat, so he found a pen and paper and drew a family relationship chart for the curious guests, while explaining to them and passing the time.

Yuya looked at the picture, at Conan, and then at Hashimoto Natsue, recalling the scene when Hashimoto Gozo cursed at him when he got on the ship, and the scene when his children discussed how to divide the inheritance as Hashimoto Gozo was dying.

In my mind, I couldn't help but start drawing a hatred-oriented map for each person along the relationship diagram.

According to Suzuki Sonoko and what he saw with his own eyes, the relationship between the Ryūmoto family is indeed not very good. In addition, Conan also appeared on the ship, and it is unknown what events will happen tonight...

With something to talk about, time passes much faster.

Soon, the butler and chef Shoji Hatamoto prepared dinner.

Ryomoto Natsue looked left and right, and asked the housekeeper in confusion: "Why didn't Grandpa come to eat? He didn't eat anything at noon, isn't he hungry?"

The elderly butler bowed slightly and said, "The master has been in a bad mood recently and may have forgotten the time. I will go and check."

After saying that, he left with graceful steps.

Yuya touched his chin and looked at Conan deeply: According to his experience, the next step is...

"what!!!!!"

Suddenly, a terrified scream was heard. The people in the restaurant were startled and stood up one after another.

"what happened?"

"what happened?"

"It seems to be the butler's scream?"

Conan and Hattori Heiji pushed the chair away and ran over quickly.

Yuya shrugged and followed.

After turning a few corners, I saw a door open. The butler was sitting outside the door, trembling as he looked into the room. His face was pale and he couldn't speak.

Yuya ran over and looked inside, and found that Hatamoto Gozo, who had been cursing on the deck before, was now lying on his back on the ground, motionless.

The abdomen was already stained with blood.
