Protect our prophets

Atobe: "..."

He raised his eyebrows, his subtle eyes swept from her face to his sleeve: are you serious?

Songxue slowly let go of his sleeve: "Just a proposal to avoid risks?"

The two stared at each other for a while.

Atobe asked again: "Do you really have a bad feeling?"

"It's hard to say, it's different from the previous situation." She was slightly entangled.

In fact, if Songxue saw a murder, she would go up there without hesitation, but now...

What if this is not an ordinary daily article, but a theatrical version?

If there were a few random explosions, where would they hide in the middle of the Pacific Ocean?

But on the other hand, if something was really going to happen on this cruise, she should, in theory, be "seeing" it by now.Don't worry about it.

"Then get on the boat." Atobe snapped his fingers and said decisively, "Even if the god of death comes, you can't avoid getting off the boat, right?"

"...It seems to be the same." Songxue nodded, thoughtfully, "If there is really a god of death, dragging it behind, it will be a worse death."

"uh-huh."

He raised the corners of his lips into a smile, and said "you can't escape fate", but his confident posture was more like saying that even if a doomed fate happens, this uncle will change it with his own hands.

Songxue stretched out her hand: "Pen."

Atobe handed her the pen and said, "There is nothing to be afraid of."

"I'm not afraid." She shook her head, "I'm just afraid of implicating you."

He snorted, as if feeling underestimated, curled his lips unhappily, then raised his hand to put on Huadi, and patted that extremely reliable shoulder.

"Huadi, what do you think?"

"..." Huadi didn't look sideways, and she was not afraid of the shadow.

"Have you seen it? Who would be afraid?" Atobe withdrew his hands, folded his arms around his chest, arrogantly, "Believe in science, even if there are any natural or man-made disasters, it cannot be caused by you alone."

Yes, this is Keigo Atobe.

Songxue smiled slightly: "Well, I know."

She lowered her head, seized the time to write her name, and then passed the pen to Huadi.

Fortunately, the people in charge of registration are all skilled receptionists. They have long been used to all kinds of guests, and they also know that this batch of VIP guests in front of them is very patient, without urging them a word.

They delayed here for some time, and several tourists came behind.They are all young people under the age of 30. They look very fashionable in their clothes and chat excitedly about the activities on the resort island.

"Hey, look, the name 'House of Illusion' sounds... a bit creepy."

"Haha, if Zhenji is afraid, why don't we go and take a boat ride, anyway, the resort islands are so big, it's enough to play for a while."

"Really? I think it's exciting."

……

Listening to the conversation behind her, Songxue picked up the invitation letter returned to them by the receptionist and looked at it again, but Atobe couldn't wait any longer, raised her elbow and touched the suitcase lever in front of her as a reminder to urge her.

"Let's go, Birch."

The young master strode forward, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and walked towards the entrance guided by the crew in a manly manner. Behind him, Huadi and Songxue glanced at each other.

He reached out and took Matsuyuki's suitcase, and put it together with his and Atobe's luggage, which looked very heavy.

"No need? It's not too heavy." Songxue said.

Huadi didn't respond, but after a few steps, a crew member rushed over and said that they would take their luggage to the door of the guest room first.

After all, it is the treatment of a luxury liner.Songxue couldn't help being curious about the organizer this time.

According to the crew, the Jacqueline is a passenger ship leading to the "Summer Joy" holiday islands. During the two months of its opening in summer, it goes there once a week and has more than 1000 experienced crew members.

The developer of the holiday islands, who is also the organizer of this event, is an in-depth reasoning enthusiast.This time, he opened up a new resort area in the center of his own island. According to his favorite style, he built a luxurious theme park called the House of Illusion, and invited a total of [-] VIPs to experience it.

Songxue finished reading the invitation letter for the third time.

"Dear Mr. (Miss), I sincerely invite you to go to Xia Zhile with your companions in your busy schedule, and participate in the first "House of Illusion" real-life secret room puzzle-solving activity"—and so on, the wording is simple and direct, nothing word puzzle.

Not to mention the special creation of such a real-life secret room event, it also covered all the expenses of the VIPs.The big boss of Xia Zhile is indeed arrogant.

Of course, these VIPs who received the invitation letters are not ordinary people, so they are not short of this little money.According to Atobe, they are all elites from all walks of life, either Xia Zhile's boss's friends, or well-known big shots.

And among them, the ones who will receive the invitation are naturally aimed at the gimmick of the "real person's secret room".

Songxue thought about the group of people she saw before boarding the boat just now, and thought deeply.

No wonder, since it is the subject of reasoning, the master will of course invite professional detectives.

However, there are too many detectives...

It was hard for her not to think about it, and the more she thought about it, the more faintly excited she became.

In this way, isn't the chance of an accident even greater?

The VIP room is on the top floor, and each single-person suite is spacious and bright, with half-wall French windows facing the sea and sunlight.

Looking down from the platform with a height of more than 20 floors, where the vast sea level meets the sky, you can vaguely see a group of seabirds passing through the clouds and scattering away, which makes people feel comfortable.

After the cruise ship goes out to sea, it is difficult to receive the mobile phone signal, and it is even more isolated when entering the high sea area, unless the expensive communication service is turned on-only for local tyrants.

Therefore, a cruise trip can be described as a vacation in the true sense, without any interruption of official or personal affairs, people can relax and enjoy a free sea vacation.

"But at the same time, cruise ships are also places with a high frequency of accidents. Murders on luxury liners in various detective works are common, but in reality—"

Songxue sat in the cafeteria on the top floor, and told Abe with great interest: "There are so many boat trips every year, there will always be a few people who can't think about it and commit suicide by jumping into the sea."

Jump off the high seas and disappear without a sound. When people find out, it will be too late to rescue them.Not to mention rescue, even dead bodies are difficult to salvage.If you are lucky, there are islands near the channel, and there may be a chance to be pushed ashore by the tide, otherwise...

This is the real dead body.she concluded.

Atobe: "...Are you sure that the voyage has just begun, and you want to talk about this kind of topic?"

"Ah, isn't that what you want to hear?" She was surprised, shook her head, and said earnestly, "Look at you, and you say you are interested, even Mr. Huadi's concentration is not as good."

"..."

Atobe drank his orange juice, lost in thought.

The dining table was quiet, it was not time for meal, and it was a restaurant for VIPs, there were very few people, only a few tables were sparsely seated.

Matsuyuki never cared about excessive details, and neither she nor Huadi had any special requirements, and followed Atobe to choose a window seat with the best view.You can overlook the deck, and you can see the complete sea surface without being blocked at all. When the sun sets, the scenery should be very good.

Besides them, there were two other tables occupied.

One was near the bar and was there before they came, ordered a few glasses of wine, talking and laughing, the atmosphere was harmonious, separated from them by some distance, it was hard to hear what they were talking about.

Songxue recognized that it was a couple of men and women who got on the boat next to them, four or five people, the rooms were arranged according to the number, and they were next to them.

She took a look when she went out. The door plate of the next room was marked with "Misaki Kobayashi", which should be the lady who received the invitation letter.

As for the young men who got on the boat ahead of them, the room number was in front of them, adjacent to Atobe's room, and the door plate read - "White Horse Detective".

That is...

The protagonists this time.

She looked at the teenagers who had just walked into the cafeteria, and couldn't help holding a napkin in front of her, coughing dryly.

"What's wrong?" Trace part looked over carefully.

"Look at them." Songxue gestured towards them, "Does this look familiar?"

Hearing her prompt, the other two took advantage of the situation to look over and sized up the high school students of the same age.

The blond-haired boy was wearing a dark casual suit, with one hand in his trouser pocket, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, admiring the sea view, the west sun shining on his fine bangs, casting a shadow on his face, a bit hazy and hard to see specific look.

The other two high school students wore the uniforms of their respective schools, with different styles.One of them had already sat down at the dining table, observing the spice bottles on the table with great interest.

On the other hand, the dark-skinned high school student put his arms around the young boy with glasses who looked like a younger brother, and covered his mouth with his hands, saying something mysteriously.

Atobe's eyes turned from the far left to the right, and then back again. He didn't seem to notice anything, and finally he locked on the young man in the Tedan High School uniform in front of the crowd, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Holmes in the Heisei era?" He felt that he had some impression of this face, and searched his memory, and the familiar name gradually surfaced.

"Wrong," Songxue corrected, "it's Reiwa."

"Times go by too fast." Atobe said without changing his expression, "That is the famous detective known as the number one in the East, Kudo-kun."

"Uh, this one."

She hesitated again.

Atobe was a little impatient: "Don't hesitate to say what you want to say, your expression is not suitable for mystification, you know?"

"It's not trying to be mysterious," Songxue argued, with a serious face, "I was just thinking about how to explain it to you."

"Why do you have to explain again?" He rolled his eyes, "Are all detectives so troublesome?"

She also sighed, this is not what I thought.

"Because, sometimes, when you see a famous face, it could be a detective, it could be another detective, it could be a thief...or a baseball player in Koshien, or even Yes, the master general of the well-known Kendo Club. By the way, I say this, Atobe-kun, can you understand?"

Songxue finished speaking in one breath and asked sincerely.

Atobe: "..."

Grass (Japanese)!

"However," Songxue changed the subject, "Although there are many possibilities, we can basically conclude that he is basically not the high school detective you know."

Atobe thought about it for a while, and seemed to understand.

"Understood, this is the face of the public." He said with a final word.

The author has something to say: Ah, it is really difficult to write _(:з」∠)_

It's much more difficult than the Wang Wang incident!

We tried to get high school student detectives to take a photo together!

(Although there seems to be a strange guy mixed into 2333)
