Mr. Hat who was forced to lose his memory

When the port terminal arrived, Zhongyuan Zhong also got off the car.Many cargo ships are docked at the pier, and the containers used for trading are stacked on the shore, waiting to leave the port.

Zhong Yuanzhong also followed the guidance of his intuition and found the location of the cruise ship without any difficulty or hesitation.At the entrance of the cruise ship stood a row of bodyguards in black clothes, with an astonishing momentum.Zhong Yuanzhong also handed the invitation letter to the person in charge of inspection at the entrance. The person took the invitation letter, first confirmed the authenticity, and registered his relevant certificates and name before letting him in.

"Distinguished guest No. 057, please follow me." A well-trained man in a tuxedo who looked like a housekeeper took him to a room on the second floor, "This is your room card, please keep it safe. The first floor It is a place for eating and entertainment, without any extra charges. If you have any questions, please call the number at the door. Finally, I wish you a pleasant trip for seven days."

His room was a single room with a large enough size and luxurious decoration. The floor-to-ceiling windows were designed to provide a sweeping view of the sea outside.Nakahara also felt that this kind of treatment is definitely not something that most cruise ships can achieve, while taking out the things in the travel bag one by one, and hanging them in the wardrobe prepared in the room one by one.

The big bed was so soft that Zhongyuan Zhong also didn't want to get up when he lay on it.But his stomach was growling at this time, he touched his stomach, and decided to go down for a meal first.

When going downstairs, Nakahara Zhong also accidentally ran into the male high school student he had seen on the train before. He was pulling a suitcase and standing in front of a young man who was half his head and wearing a hat.

As the footsteps walked in, the sound of the conversation between them also reached the ears of Chuya Zhongyuan.

"...You are that famous detective, Edogawa Ranpo?!" The voice of the male high school student was a little excited, "It is said that you can directly deduce the murderer and the modus operandi just by looking at the scene, which is quite common in Tokyo." Famous. Ah, my dream is also to become a famous detective, my name is..."

"Kudou Shinichi, right." The young man on the opposite side said the name of the male high school student lightly, causing the other party to be surprised: "Do you know me?"

"Hmm, I don't know." Edogawa Ranpo bit a lollipop, denying it quite bluntly.

"Then how did you know my name..."

"This kind of thing can be seen at a glance." Edogawa shrugged, and said his reasoning process casually, "Since you asked the question sincerely, the real detective will tell you mercifully." Right. The identities of the people who can be invited on this cruise ship are not simple. As far as I know, the world-renowned mystery novelist Kudo Yusaku has also received an invitation, but he will participate in a crucial award ceremony, and his His wife Yukiko Kudo will be filming in the crew during this period, neither of them have time to come to the cruise ship to play, so there is a great possibility that they will give the invitation letter to their son. And your appearance is also similar to your father Kudo Yusaku is very similar, so it is basically certain that you are their son. As for the decisive evidence..."

Edogawa Ranpo deliberately paused, and then showed a childish smile: "It's because your name is written on your suitcase!"

Kudo Shinichi lowered his head, and as expected, he saw his name on the nameplate of his suitcase: "Uh?!"

After listening to this "wonderful" reasoning, Nakahara couldn't help laughing out loud, and this laughter made Kudo Shinichi and Edogawa Ranpo notice him.The moment he saw the face of the red-haired boy, Edogawa Ranpo's squinted eyes opened in shock.

"You are--"

Nakahara looked at Ranpo Edogawa suspiciously: "Do you know me?"

Edogawa Ranbu stared at Nakahara Nakaya for a while, and finally seemed to be sure of something, restored the original state of squinting, and bit the lollipop again: "... Well, it's okay. Because you look like A person I know, I just accidentally identified the wrong person. By the way, what is your name?"

"Central Plains Central."

Edogawa Ranpo was strangely silent.

"I'll go there first if there's nothing else to do." Nakahara Chuya put his hands in his pockets and continued to walk towards the restaurant on the first floor.After this episode, his hunger was even worse.

In a place unknown in the Central Plains, Edogawa Ranpo had put on his glasses at some point, and looked at his back with a blank expression, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.

Things... are getting more and more interesting.

After parting with Kudo Shinichi, Edogawa Ranpo opened a bag of potato chips, thinking casually while chewing.He has a unique intuition as a famous detective. This seven-day cruise may bring unexpected developments that even he cannot reason out.

Edogawa Ranpo smiled.It's really a pity that Dazai Osamu didn't board this cruise ship with him because he thought it was troublesome.

……

Zhong Yuanzhong also ordered a black pepper steak and a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, and sat on the side seat to start tasting.Not far from him sat a table of middle school students, dressed in the blue and white uniforms of Teiko Middle School. They seemed to be basketball players, and the topic of discussion was also the upcoming National Basketball Tournament.

"Hey, hey, it's rare that the captain paid for us to go on vacation. Kose, don't bring up the topic of splashing cold water, anyway, the champion will only be ours after we go back." The dark-skinned boy complained while chewing on a big chicken leg With the incomprehensible style of his teammates.

The object of the complaint, Kise Ryota, giggled a few times, grabbed the shoulder of the person next to him and said nonchalantly, "Ah, anyway, Xiao Qingfeng, you just rely on the presence of Xiao Heizi to say such a thing without any scruples." .Little Heizi, when you go back, abandon Xiao Qingfeng, that heartless guy, and just pass the ball to me, okay—”

Hei Zizhe also blinked, bit the straw of the vanilla milkshake, and pulled himself out with an extremely innocent expression: "Please don't implicate me in the childish struggle between you elementary school students, thank you."

"It's too much, little blackie!" Kise Ryo pretended to cry.

"It's you who went too far, you bastard Kise!!" Aomine Daiki roared angrily.

The purple-haired boy next to him had been sweeping away the sweets without participating in the conversation.The hand of the green-haired boy holding the little raccoon toy trembled slightly, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore, and burst out: "Stop making noise! ​​Are you bothered by chattering all the time during the meal!?"

...The recent middle school students are really energetic.Zhongyuan Zhong also ate the steak and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.The red-haired boy who put an end to those noisy middle school students was their captain. He returned to his seat with a cup of strong coffee.

"Everyone be quiet." Following this commanding voice, Aomine Daiki and Kise Ryota, who had been arguing, quieted down at the same time—after all, the aura emanating from that person was extremely terrifying, and they dared not Feel free to piss off the captain.

"That's right, Ryota, Daiki. My order is absolute." Akashi Seijuro evoked a satisfied smile, looking down at his team members with one gold and one red pupil of different colors, making that The backs of several people felt cold for no reason, like a group of little white rabbits being targeted by a lion, "But what Dahui said is correct, it is rare for everyone to come out to play together during the holidays, so don't mention anything about basketball. I hope everyone If you can relax well, it won’t be too late to go all out for the national competition when you go back.”

"Yes! Captain—" several team members responded in unison.

Zhongyuan Zhong also took the empty plates and cups to find the bowls and chopsticks recycling place, and put them in.

Speaking of which, I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but how do I feel that the voices of Orihara Rinya he met in Tokyo in the morning, Edogawa Ranpo he met on the cruise ship at noon, and Akashi Seijuro just now all sound inexplicably like his companion Qi Wood Kusuo?

Probably hallucinations...

The author has something to say: Ranbu's reasoning about the suitcase comes from the story of Conan Doyle and the coachman.

Conan Doyle went on vacation in France and met a coachman. The coachman called Conan Doyle's name accurately. Conan Doyle asked how the coachman knew his name. After reasoning, he said the key sentence: "...The decisive evidence to let me know that you are Mr. Conan Doyle is that your name is written on your suitcase."
