Conan: I'm just an ordinary novelist

Chapter 219 The Legend of Mermaid Meat for Immortality

"Oh! Here I come, hey! Xianhe - over here, over here!"

I saw Osaka Dark Chocolate standing in the crowd from a distance.

Yun Xianhe raised his hand to signal the other party, then walked over slowly.

Hattori Heiji, who hadn't been seen for a long time, looked Yun Xianhe up and down, and said with a half-moon eye:

"Why do you seem to be sick again?"

"It's just a little low blood pressure, it won't affect your travel."

"Really, that's not what I meant."

Hattori Heiji sighed helplessly.

Conan and others who had arrived earlier greeted Yun Xianhe one by one, and then followed Hattori to get on the boat.

Someone who was already dizzy felt a little drowsy after getting on the boat.

Conan looked at Yun Xianhe and remembered the physical problems he had asked Zhu Fujingguang last night.

"are you better?"

"I'm much better now. Thank you Conan for your concern."

The little detective who received the pat on the head raised his eyes and took a look.

The other person was standing next to Hattori Heiji, and his already pale face now looked scary.

He remembered that Mr. Midorikawa said he had a stomachache, right?

"Have you eaten breakfast?"

"of course."

"What to eat?"

"Glucose and saline. I'm going to have another big meal this afternoon."

Conan's mouth twitched when he heard Yun Xianhe's words.

The former sighed helplessly, his tone somewhat sad:

"I don't want to either, but I'm throwing up everything I eat now, so I'd better wait until I feel better in the afternoon."

"...Based on your description, Brother Xianhe, this stomach problem should be quite serious. Even if it gets better in the afternoon, you can't eat so much right away, uh uh!"

"Shhh - children should stay out of adult matters."

Conan, with his mouth covered, looked at Yun Xianhe with his crescent eyes, while his other hand was about to take out his cell phone.

The brave man who saw through his intentions suppressed him with one hand, with a fake smile on his face:

"This sea of ​​sunken corpses should be good."

The slightly long hair blocked the light in the pair of heterochromatic eyes, making the qualityless glass look cold and dark.

Combined with that stiff smile, he looked just like a murderer on TV, and successfully scared Conan so much that his heart skipped a beat.

Seeing that Conan was frightened, Yun Xianhe immediately removed the dark mode and rubbed his head vigorously twice:

"I lied to you."

“…It’s too bad!”

"Hahahaha, as a detective, you still need to exercise your psychological endurance."

Hattori Heiji, who was standing by, looked at Yun Xianhe who suddenly laughed out loud and came over curiously.

"Hmm? What are you two talking about?"

Looking at Conan's slightly distorted expression, he chuckled, half squatted down, and poked the other's cheek with his hand.

The latter took several steps back to avoid his hand, disgust written all over his face.

"Well, you actually despise me."

"Brother Heiji, you seem to have become darker recently."

The little detective pretending to be stupid spoke with a clipped accent and successfully attracted the attention of Xiaolan and Heye next to him.

He Ye looked Hattori Heiji up and down several times, then looked at Yun Xianhe next to him, and was a little uncertain for a moment.

It seems that Heiji is really

"Huh?! It's obviously this guy who turned white!"

Seeing what Kazuha's expression meant, the big piece of chocolate exploded (?), and she wanted to fight with Conan on the spot.

The instigator of the incident (? ) quietly withdrew from the battlefield, hiding his achievements and fame.

A few seagulls were flying after the boat.

Yun Xianhe suddenly thought of Gugu. He didn't know where the other person went after he brought him home yesterday.

It's quite carefree.

The two men who had been fighting for three hundred rounds turned around and saw Yun Xianhe standing by the boat feeding the seagulls.

The other person was holding a baguette and bread that he got from somewhere in his arms, and a box of French fries in his hand.

The seagulls stood obediently on the railing, waiting in line to be fed by Yun Xianhe.

The picture of one person and a group of birds was very harmonious, and Conan even noticed several people taking pictures secretly.

Maori Kogoro, who was lying on the railing and watching the sea, looked at Yun Xianhe who was quite patient with his half-moon eyes, and complained to a seagull less than half a meter away from him:

"I really don't understand. Yun boy really likes you guys."

The seagull tilted its head and looked at him, not understanding. Eat French fries!

"Uncle Maori, do you want to eat some? I have some clean, unopened ones in my bag."

Kogoro Maori looked at Yun Xianhe's backpack, then looked at the seagull that was staring at him hungrily, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"No, I don't need it. Haha..."

Yun Xianhe noticed his gaze and turned his head.

The seagulls that had looked ferocious just now changed their expressions instantly, and looked at Yun Xianhe with clear and stupid eyes.

It was as if the sharpness revealed in the little eyes just now was all an illusion.

The little seagull actually has two faces.

Realizing this, Maori Kogoro quietly moved a little further away from the group of seagulls and turned to look at Hattori Heiji:

"You have to thank me, you brat, for showing up so rashly and saying you have a case to deal with in the auxiliary shaft. Just because I came along doesn't mean I don't have other things to do."

Kogoro Mouri, who was tied up by Kid in the gas station bathroom for a whole night, yawned loudly and looked a little sleep-deprived.

Really, if it weren't for this little brat, he should be sitting comfortably at his desk watching TV instead of standing here watching the seagulls.

And in order to take care of Yun Xianhe who was standing beside him, he couldn't smoke.

Someone who is craving for cigarettes takes a cigarette from the box and simply holds it in his mouth without lighting it.

"Well, you don't have much to lose. I'll pay for the travel expenses anyway."

"Okay, which island are we going to now?"

"The one over there, the locals are used to calling it by another name - the island where the mermaids live."

"The island where the mermaids live?"

Hearing this, Kogoro Mouri raised his voice. Although he was surprised, he did not show any further emotion.

Mermaids, they’re probably just a legend among the locals.

Yun Xianhe, who was standing next to him, stuffed some French fries into a seagull’s mouth and thought idly.

I don’t know how the mermaids in those small worlds I visited before are doing.

But it shouldn't be that easy to be deceived again.

Thinking of the huge live fish that was given to him when they first met, Yun Xianhe couldn't help but smile.

"There is an old lady living on that island who specializes in eating mermaid flesh in order to achieve immortality."

click,

The baguette in his hand was crushed to pieces.

The seagulls, sensing the danger, let out short, panicked cries and flapped their wings before flying away.

Hattori and others, whose attention was attracted, turned around and looked over, just in time to see Yun Xianhe's smiling face.

The color of the heterochromatic eyes hidden behind the glasses seemed to be a little darker.

"Hattori, what did you just say?"

"Ah, that, there is an old lady on the island who eats mermaids to achieve immortality. What, what happened?"

Hattori Heiji finished speaking stutteringly under the other party's slightly cold gaze.

He always felt that there seemed to be black air coming out from behind Yun Xianhe just now.

"Oh, stupid."

After a while, everyone shrank their shoulders after receiving a cold snort.

Kazuha hugged Xiaolan's arms tightly in fear and whispered:

"What's wrong with him? Why does he seem angry all of a sudden?"

"I don't know. Xianhe-kun is not usually like this."

Hattori Heiji paused, feeling that his words had irritated the other party, and quickly tried to smooth things over:

"That's just a legend. How could there be mermen?"

"That's it."

Osaka Chocolate and the little detective sang the same tune, trying to make Yun Xianhe relax a little.

Kogoro Maori looked at the other person a few more times and muttered something.

Yun Xianhe realized that he had scared people, so he waved at them and looked towards the ocean in the distance with an expressionless face.

Yun Xianhe knew of course that there were no creatures like mermaids in this small world.

But, immortality?

His long knuckles glanced at the solid railing.

Hattori Heiji felt that Yun Xianhe's reaction was a little strange, but hesitated for a moment before finally stating the commission:

"The client wrote to me and said something like 'The mermaid is about to be killed, please come and save it.'"

"A mermaid is about to be killed?!"

The expressions of Kogoro Mori and others changed slightly.

Conan yawned out of boredom and looked closely at Yun Xianhe who seemed to be thinking about something.

When the other party heard this, there was no change in his expression.

In other words, the 'mermaid' was not the cause of the other party's sudden change of mood.

The only remaining key word in the previous sentence is immortality.

...Could it be that Brother Xianhe wants to live forever?

Conan was speechless at his own thoughts.

It's impossible to think about it. If the other party really wanted to live longer, he wouldn't come out with them every time he was sick.

"Hattori, can you tell me in detail about the commission you received this time?"

Hattori Heiji's eyes lit up when he heard Yun Xianhe's words:

"Oh! Are you interested?"

The brave man half-leaning on the railing chuckled and said in a playful tone:

"Yes, I am very interested."
