Chapter 189

Speaking of this, a smile hung on Mao Li's face.

"For this, I have to talk about Sigong."

"She gave the school an investment when she enrolled."

Kogoro Mouri's expression changed instantly; this is really an operation that only a rich young lady would have.

"And the club activity funds don't need to be paid by the school; they are all paid by the members within the club."

Holy crap!

Kogoro Mouri widened his eyes immediately.

"You have to pay too?"

"What are you talking about, my pocket money is not enough."

Mao Li complained, and then gave an explanation.

"It's Sonoko, Sigong, Sanzenin, and Saginomiya."

Kogoro Mouri was a bit confused hearing the last three names.

"Uncle, Sigong should be the Sigong Zaibatsu that is on par with the Suzuki Zaibatsu."

"Sanzenin should be the Sanzenin Zaibatsu that was making a lot of noise a while ago; didn't they say afterwards that the Sanzenin Zaibatsu was going to wipe out the Sigong Zaibatsu?"

"Saginomiya, it should be the largest liquor Zaibatsu, the one that monopolizes half of the liquor industry in the island country."

Conan Edogawa's brain speed was very fast; according to the surnames of Sigong, Sanzenin, and Saginomiya, he had already guessed the Zaibatsu behind the surnames.

They are all big Zaibatsus.

How did the heirs of these big Zaibatsus gather at Teitan High School?

This question made him quite confused.

When he was at Teitan High School, he had never seen such big Zaibatsu heirs transfer to Teitan High School; how did it develop to such an outrageous degree in less than a month since he left?

"Oh~ worthy of being Shinichi the second."

Mao Li couldn't see a trace of a smile in her eyes.

"..."

The person who couldn't smile either was Conan Edogawa himself; facing that very targeted gaze, he could only bite the bullet and meet it.

"Sister Mao Li, I am Conan Edogawa, not Brother Shinichi."

"That's also true."

There was still no smile in Mao Li's gaze, until the end when she laughed.

"Conan Edogawa... that's also true."

"It's just Conan Edogawa."

Mao Li laughed lightly, completely erasing the person Kudo Shinichi from her memory.

Conan Edogawa, whose name was being muttered, only felt a slightly uncomfortable feeling pass through his heart.

He clearly felt that something very important had disappeared just now, as if it had left permanently.

Kogoro Mouri, who noticed that there was a problem with his daughter's emotions, directly changed the subject.

"Mao Li, when did so many young ladies transfer to Teitan High School?"

"I thought that besides Sonoko, these young ladies should all be in aristocratic schools."

Mao Li was indeed distracted.

"Mm, actually Sanzenin and Saginomiya were studying at Hakuou before."

"Hakuou? Hiss!"

Kogoro Mouri gasped; Hakuou is an aristocratic school, and it is also a very well-known aristocratic school.

"As for Sigong, she was studying at Shuchiin before."

"It's also an aristocratic school."

Kogoro Mouri widened his eyes; it seems he really didn't guess wrong; those young ladies were indeed in aristocratic schools before.

But this led to a problem.

Why did these young ladies who were studying well in aristocratic schools transfer to Teitan High School?

Leaving the security room, Ai Hayasaka came to the main hall of the cruise ship.

She didn't have such a big opinion about these people who boarded the ship, but she also urgently drew up the situation of the Hatamoto clan.

The current situation might be a bit complicated, and she couldn't control the situation stably, so she needed someone who could control the situation to help look at it.

"Mr. Amamiya."

The conservative maid outfit from the Victorian era in black and white was still very conspicuous.

Her arrival instantly attracted many gazes.

But Ai Hayasaka didn't care about this at all.

Ren Amamiya nodded slightly, and then opened his spiritual vision to confirm Hayasaka's condition.

The spiritual body still had obvious symptoms of weakness, but there were no big problems other than that.

"The mental state has not fully recovered."

"The collapse of the different dimension had a quite large impact on your spiritual body; don't use that ability for the time being."

"I understand."

Ai Hayasaka nodded slightly; she had already experienced the consequences of forcibly opening the air door.

"How is Sigong's state?"

"Miss Kaguya has already woken up, but..."

"Is her consciousness still dazed?"

Ai Hayasaka nodded slightly.

Ren Amamiya knew it was such a situation; Sigong and Hayasaka's situation was similar, but Sigong released more power, and it was normal that her current state was worse than Hayasaka's.

"It's also my problem."

Ren Amamiya sighed.

"I let Sigong release as much as possible to find her own limit. I didn't expect that her excessive release would cause the different dimension to collapse."

"I should have reminded her before."

"This is not Mr. Amamiya's problem."

Ai Hayasaka shook her head slightly; for this kind of sudden situation, she didn't think it was Ren Amamiya's problem.

"No one can predict this kind of sudden situation."

Ai Hayasaka, who spoke suddenly, paused.

Indeed, under normal circumstances, no one should know about this kind of sudden situation.

But couldn't Ren Amamiya perform some divination on future things?

"Mr. Amamiya, didn't you perform divination?"

"Don't think of divination as so comprehensive."

Ren Amamiya shook his head slightly.

"Divination is very useful, but don't put all your hope on divination."

"Once you overly believe in the future divined, you will often be restrained by this kind of future."

"So, I don't divine the future situation just because I have nothing to do."

Divination has always been considered a very useful tool and means by Ren Amamiya, but he also keeps in mind the problems that Diviners need to pay attention to.

Seeing Ren Amamiya's appearance of being deeply secretive about this, Ai Hayasaka probably understood that there were probably many taboos involved.

"Your current condition hasn't fully recovered, why did you come out?"

Ai Hayasaka nodded slightly; her gaze didn't shift to the Hatamoto family, but she keenly felt that many of the Hatamoto clan's gazes were focused on her.

"Is it the Hatamoto clan's business?"

"Yes."

"What did you investigate?"

"Mm."

Ren Amamiya nodded slightly, then got up and followed Ai Hayasaka to one side.
