"Did you hear anything?"
Because he missed it directly with Mikazuki, Hattori Heiji finally had to go with Mori Kogoro to find out about the missing Kadowaki Saori. As a result, there was no special news.
Conan also shook his head. He touched his face that had been pinched red by Obasan, and complained, "Rather than asking for news, it's better to be forced to listen to the mermaid legend."
Having said that, he patted his head, always feeling that his mind is full of stereo 'mermaid mermaid mermaid mermaid mermaid', he almost doesn't know the word mermaid.
"We, too, were kicked all afternoon like a football, and we almost ran all over the island."
Hattori Heiji, who had been running all afternoon, sat tiredly on the tatami of the hotel, stretched his legs, opened his hands, and formed a large character, shouting, "I'm exhausted!"
The most annoying thing is that there is no gain.
"Heiji Heiji, where's the person?"
The curtain door of the next room was opened, but no one was seen, and it was closed again.
Mao Lilan's voice sounded: "Maybe playing with Conan."
The two of them took a few steps in the wooden corridor, opened the door with a swipe, and took a look.
"Ah, it's here." Toyama Kazuha stood next to Hattori Heiji, who was lying flat, and urged, "Hurry up and change clothes, there will be a festival tonight!"
"I just brought a set of clothes, and I will change tomorrow."
The black-skinned boy glanced up, turned his face away, "Fat times are exposed!"
"Huh?" The girl was stunned for a moment, then looked at the blush on her childhood sweetheart's black face, couldn't help holding down the hem of her uniform skirt, and stepped on it while screaming, "Heiji is a pervert!!!"
"Hey, hey, I remind you, good intentions are not rewarded."
"Then you watched it too!!!"
Mao Lilan couldn't help showing a teasing smile: "Oh, someone said it was just a child's tame dye!"
While she seemed to be concentrating on appreciating the vitality between her childhood sweethearts, Conan quietly got up, tiptoely intending to run out.
"Ah, you too, Conan, I brought you a kimono specially!"
Conan was held by the collar by Mao Lilan who seemed to have eyes on the back of his head: "..."
It was because he knew that she had stuffed clothes in the suitcase specially that he wanted to run away.
"By the way, what about Sanriyue?"
Seeing that the young man who was led by the two girls disappeared, Conan hurriedly changed the subject.
"Brother Sanriyue!"
Putting Conan down, Mao Lilan took his hand to his room and said with a smile, "He seems to be very interested in Miss Miko, so he stayed in the shrine."
Interested in Miko?
Conan had a weird expression: "Sister Xiaolan said that was Sanriyue, cough, brother?"
Seeing that he obediently added the honorific title, Mao Lilan nodded: "That's right."
She recalled that time, Sanriyue seemed to have discovered something interesting, opened her eyes and stared at Miss Miko, and couldn't help but reconfirmed, "I read it right."
Hearing what Mao Lilan said, Conan, who had been confused by the pornographic news just now, immediately woke up.
Where did the nerves of men and women come from in Sanriyue's mind to stare at the witch like this, he must have discovered something!
Conan broke free from his childhood sweetheart's hand, rushed back and opened the curtain door: "Hattori, let's go, take me to the shrine quickly."
Hattori Heiji, who had no choice but to stand up because of being tortured by Ome, was stunned for a moment, and when he noticed Kudo's eager eyes, he immediately reacted.
He picked up Conan, who was small, and walked outside.
"Hey, Heiji, where are you going?"
Yuan Shanheye, who was looking for clothes, heard the sound of brisk walking in the corridor, looked around, but saw the back of the bamboo horse who was supposed to be in the Japanese room waiting to change clothes.
Mao Lilan stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder: "They went to the shrine, did you prepare this clothes for Hattori-kun? It's a pity."
Yuan Shan and Ye hurriedly waved their hands: "Where can I afford such expensive clothes? Aunt Jinghua prepared them." She sighed and complained, "The festival is about to begin, so it's really a good time to run around at this time."
She also promised her aunt that she would take more pictures of that guy in Heiji.
Mao Lilan also sighed with deep understanding: "There is no way, they are all reasoning idiots!"
On the other side, Hattori Heiji ran and asked, "What's going on, Kudo."
He was pulled out suddenly, of course, it's good not to have to deal with He Ye - how could he not know, after changing clothes, there will be a series of troublesome things to be photographed later.
"I don't know, don't look at me like that."
Conan was also very helpless. Fortunately, before he set off, he swore that he would find the suspect one step earlier than Sankaiyue.
Cough, cough, dreams are always there.
But it turns out that when he was not sure if there was a case—the disappearing Saori Kadowaki might have left the island by herself, and there is no evidence to prove that she must be missing—that guy had already given the details to See through.
Hearing what Conan said, Hattori Heiji said suspiciously: "Isn't this the same as what was described in Mr. Kudo's novel? I thought it was an exaggeration."
He also said that he was not a big fan of "The Boy in the Cage", and the smaller detective rolled his eyes covertly.
"Then later, you will be able to see if that is an exaggeration."
Most people would not take the plot in it seriously after reading the book, but Conan, who has witnessed the reasoning process of Sanriyue, knows that the writing is really not exaggerated.
Even, because the book was written relatively early, the plots in it reflect more of his childhood level.
Now, to be honest, it's a lot more exaggerated.
Even Conan, who is extremely strong in materialistic values, sometimes can't help but wonder if Crescent Moon has any superpowers.
For example, his pair of extraordinary eyes.
"I'll see."
Hattori Heiji was a little doubtful, a little detective's reluctance to admit defeat, and a little bit of vague expectation, but he pretended not to care and said, "Do you think he found the murderer directly?"
"Nine times out of ten."
Conan said sadly.
This is where he has a headache. After going to Suzuki's old house with his parents for a physical examination, Yusaku Kudo had a deeper conversation with him.
The content is mainly about the situation he will face if he insists on being an enemy of the black organization.Including but not limited to the energy of the Black Organization, the intricate relationship between money and power, and the psychological tendency of Suzuki Mikayue.
I won't talk about the complexity of the black organization, and the situation of Suzuki Mikazuki is not much better.
"Dad said he was very interested in human psychology."
Conan pondered for a while, and felt that this was not something that could not be said, so he explained it to Hattori Heiji.
He was very careful with his words, and every time he said something, he had to go through his mind several times before saying it, which made him sound suddenly slow.
Hattori Heiji exhaled. His physical strength is not bad, but a boy in the first grade of elementary school is not so light. After running all this way, he was already a little out of breath.
"He has a BA in Psychology, so there's nothing unusual about it?"
You also said that you are not a fan, you know too much.
Conan was speechless, but he still didn't directly expose him, and continued to explain: "For him, it is very interesting to observe the swinging emotions of suspects, especially some suspects whose criminal convictions are not firm."
Where's the fun?
This was the first thought that popped into Hattori Heiji's head.
Seeing the puzzled look in his friend's eyes, the Conan boy shrugged his shoulders: "You think so too, right? But just like you can't understand him, he can't understand us either."
"That's why he has this kind of interest that is different from ordinary people." Hattori Heiji murmured, then frowned, "But it's dangerous."
It is of course dangerous to be in close contact with criminals.
Even if those people's beliefs are not firm, but like a coin falling from the sky, the odds of heads and tails are [-] to [-]. The ghost knows which side the other party will fall into after a struggle.
Conan rolled his eyes: "Do you think he has a normal view of danger?"
Hattori choked: "Well, I didn't speak through my brain."
He took a few breaths, and when he finally saw the red torii gate at the gate of the shrine, he put Conan down, "So, that Miss Miko is the suspect this time?"
Conan stood firm on the ground and gave him a look of "you finally said a decent guess".
After teasing his friend, he straightened his expression, touched the anesthesia watch on his wrist unconsciously, and said: "Be prepared for the worst, if something bad happens to Sanriyue, with his intelligence, he will definitely be able to Leave us a clue."
The high school student detective from Osaka straightened up, trying to heal the shortness of breath caused by the brisk jog just now, and put on a normal look.
"It's not necessarily the worst case...well, you're right."
Thinking back to the previous scene where Mikazuki was easily taken away by a dessert and a jug of juice, Hattori Heiji twisted his face, and had to admit, "If the other party prescribed medicine, maybe he would really eat it."
For women with insufficient strength, medicine is obviously a more effective means than other methods.Especially since there is an elderly person in her family, among other things, at least sleeping pills are easy to get.
"Hopefully she doesn't have quick-lethal drugs."
Hattori Heiji murmured.
The two pretended to be sent by Mao Lilan to pick them up, and quickly walked through the courtyard of the shrine to the rear where they lived.
The shrine is quiet, only the regular knocking of Jinglu on the stone slab.
Hattori Heiji bowed his head and gave Conan a wink.
Conan understood, and purposely shouted in a childish voice: "Brother Sanriyue? Brother Sanriyue, where are you? Sister Xiaolan asked us to go to the festival!"
When there was no response, he turned serious and shouted again.
This time there is sound.
A slightly vague boy's voice sounded: "I'm here, come here by yourselves!"
This voice, it sounds like being tied up?
However, it's good that people are fine, one big and one small all looked relieved.
The stone that was raised in their hearts finally fell, and they hurried towards the direction of the sound, and the more they walked, the more strange their expressions became.
Is this the direction of the living room?
Could it be that the witch has already left, so he was tied up in the living room?That's right, Sanriyue doesn't seem to have much strength, and it's normal for the suspect not to take him seriously.
Hattori Heiji let Conan hide behind him, carefully and gently opened the push door in front of him.
The sight that came into view made him widen his eyes in surprise.
"Why is it only you?!"
63
As soon as he opened his mouth, Hattori Heiji knew that he had said something stupid.
The teenager sitting cross-legged by the desk didn't even look at him: "Why can't I sit here?"
Conan, who came out from behind Hattori Heiji, was speechless and helped his forehead.
Of course here is the problem, the problem is...
"You are too leisurely!"
Hattori Heiji pointed at Mikazuki, who was wiping out the confectionary stock at Miko's house, with a broken face.
That's right, the poor Sanriyue who was tied up as they guessed just now didn't exist at all, and the vague voice they heard was completely because the other party's mouth was stuffed with food.
"No wonder it sounds a little weird."
Conan murmured in his heart, then Ban Yue stared at Youzai Youzai, who was so happy, "I didn't respond before, so I must be busy eating!"
San Riyue held up the juice: "Guess right!" Then she changed the subject, brought the juice close to her mouth, and took a big sip, "But there is no reward."
"The reward is fine, as long as you are fine."
Conan resisted the urge to sigh, and asked, "Where is Miss Shimabukuro? Did she put you here, did she give up her murder plan?"
San Riyue casually rubbed her face with her sleeve, finally stopped paying attention to the snacks on the table, and looked at the two high school detectives: "I don't know."
"do not know?!"
Hattori Heiji, who came back to his senses, bounced up, his voice distorted with anger, "What do you mean you don't know!"
"I just don't know." The boy said confidently and righteously, "I can't influence Miss Miko's thoughts."
#The bounty hunters whose existence has been erased from the spirit are cursing and exiting the group chat#
Conan didn't suspect him, because he had analyzed Mikazuki's problem with Hattori Heiji just now, and his behavior was naturally reasonable.
However, he was also extremely helpless: "Is there no clue? This is related to a person's life."
Judging from Mikazuki's performance, at least it is certain that Miss Shimabukuro is not innocent.Conan hopes to stop her before the other party commits a murder.
"Wrong, not one person, but four people."
The boy sitting on the tatami stretched out his hand and showed four fingers.
Conan suddenly thought inappropriately, San Riyue still has calluses on her hands?
and many more.
"Four?" Hattori Heiji stared again, "Then you still have time to eat snacks, why didn't you stop her?"
Sanriyue gave him a strange look: "Why do you want to stop her?"
That's four lives...
Such a sentence flashed in his mind, before he could say it, after seeing Hattori Heiji's angry look, Conan calmed down instead, pulled his friend back, and shook his head at him.
You could tell what they were talking about just by looking at them, San Riyue didn't take it seriously, and calmly picked out a pack of thick snacks for herself.
He didn't eat this much before, but it tasted very good, the taste was not bad, and he couldn't stop for some reason.
"I think what she does is her own decision, and, from a moral standpoint, for good reason."
As he spoke, he nodded.
"There are good reasons. No matter what kind of things you encounter, you should be judged by the law. Lynching is not allowed."
Hattori Heiji ignored Conan's obstruction and said coldly, he was very angry, and also very angry, "You are not Tokie at all, you are not as good as him at all."
Conan, who couldn't stop him, covered his face and sighed. The Shie that Hattori was talking about was the protagonist of Yusaku Kudo's novel "The Boy in the Cage", the genius with high IQ.
Not even a fan...
Of course, he still agrees with Hattori Heiji's point of view in his heart, but just to mention Tokie...
"I wasn't him in the first place."
But Mikazuki, who was accused, didn't look unhappy at all, he didn't even look at Hattori, "You are an idiot who can confuse virtual characters with reality!"
Hattori: Air bomb!
Conan hurriedly stopped between the two of them, smoothing things over and saying, "Okay, don't worry about this, and quickly think of a way, let's see how to stop Miss Shimabukuro!"
After finally calming down the friend from Osaka, Conan started to have a headache again.
"Obviously there are no clues, but I am so sure that there is something wrong with Miss Miko." San Riyue glanced at them, "Is it because of me? It seems so, but I don't just stare at the suspect every time!"
After all, those who can swing left and right are not necessarily criminal suspects.
Conan choked, he turned his head to look suddenly, and then was pinned down by Hattori Heiji: "Don't be disturbed by him, he said just now that it is about four lives."
Even if Ms. Shimabukuro is not a suspect, she is still closely related to the other party.
"slightly--"
Crescent Moon, whose prank was exposed, stuck out her tongue.
He patted his buttocks and got up: "I'm leaving first, I still have to participate in the festival!"
When he left, he didn't forget to bring the snacks enshrined to him by Miss Miko.
The two great detectives were left frowning in the empty shrine.
"Let's be a pair, have you heard something this afternoon!"
Conan pressed his brows, and suddenly thought of what Kaito Kidd said, "If the Kaitou is a creative artist who steals treasures in a gorgeous way, then the detective is just following the Kaito to nitpick, and at best he is just a critic." ' speech.
He naturally did not agree with these words, but today's experience also made him realize his own shortcomings.
If the suspect didn't do anything, he didn't have enough evidence, and he couldn't stop him.
But when the opponent made a move, it was already too late.
At other times, he wouldn't be too stubborn. After all, Kudo Shinichi wasn't arrogant enough to think he could save the world.
However, like now, the answer is right in front of you, but there is no clue to convince others, and there is no way to stop the criminal...
No, the other party hasn't done anything yet, so it's not a criminal yet.
With a cruel heart, he pulled Hattori Heiji up: "Let's go, let's go to the festival too."
"Festival?"
Conan, who is always clinging to Junhui Shimabukuro, is ready to take advantage of the child's advantage and is uncomfortable seeing his little friend's distraught appearance.He stretched out his hand and clasped his palms together next to Hattori's ear.
Snapped!
As expected, Hattori was frightened and provoked: "What are you doing!"
"Don't worry about whether it's time or not, now the focus is on Miss Shimabukuro!"
Hattori was taken aback for a moment, and then realized: "Oh, yes, Miss Shimabukuro, as a shrine maiden, is going to help at the festival."
"No, we split up."
Hearing Conan's plan to go to the festival to stick Shimabukuro Junhui, and he took the opportunity to search the back room of the shrine, Hattori raised his thumb, his eyes seemed to be watching a warrior dying, "I will tell you in front of Miss Lan later. Nice words."
Conan hehe: "Thank you, you can just stop talking about it in the future."
The two agreed, and Conan walked outside.
The shrine is divided into two parts, the front is the place for people to worship, and the back is the place where the owner and his family live. Generally, small local shrines have such specifications.
So, it's actually quite risky to do so.
But the situation is urgent. Besides, there are only Ms. Shimabukuro and her grandma Changju Po in the shrine. As long as you are not too careless, the probability of Hattori Heiji's life being in danger is still very small.
The front of the shrine is gradually becoming lively at this time, because of the shortage of manpower, some local people will take turns to help.
Others can't help, but it's still possible to sit behind the desk and ask people who want to participate in the lottery and get the Dugong Arrow to pay to write their names.
Sanriyue was idle and bored, and suddenly remembered that Gin had been to Mermaid Island last year, and seemed to have participated in the lottery?
Then again, the first time he met each other, he and Vodka were also on the roller coaster.
"It's quite childlike!"
He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and sent an email to Sanriyue.
After a busy day's work, Qin Jiu, who was on his way back, heard the buzzing sound of his mobile phone, so he took it out to have a look.
[Let's go to the amusement park together next time. ——Cognac】
【Not going. ——Gin]
Decisive.
"Really boring."
The boy who was rejected pursed his lips, but he didn't explode on the spot. He lay on the table and tilted his head to observe the people coming and going.
By the time Conan came out, he was already shaking his feet happily, and there was a pile of snacks fed by girls—perhaps a few boys—in front of him.
On the one side, there are also some little friends who are staring at him enviously.
Conan: "..."
This is definitely the most enviable skill for children, none of them!
Walking over silently and sitting next to him, Conan looked at it. From this angle, he could see the shrine perfectly, so he didn't move his nest.
He looked at the busy Shimabukuro Junhui for a while, and asked in a complicated tone: "Aren't you angry?"
Hattori Heiji accused him like that.
San Riyue was puzzled: "Why are you angry? Isn't he telling the truth?" He threw a piece of Jinpingtang into his mouth, a small bag bulged on his cheek, and said vaguely, "Besides, he looks even more angry look."
Conan is stuck.
The object of this kind of longing is different from what I imagined. At first, I thought it was not unacceptable, but when I looked closely, I felt that even the three views were inconsistent.
How should I put it, if I have to make an analogy, it is probably him who admires Sherlock Holmes, and suddenly finds out one day that Moriarty is also the kind of heart-wrenching feeling he played!
No, no, what is he talking about, Holmes is not Moriarty!
San Riyue looked at Conan who suddenly started beating his head with the eyes of caring for a fool: "Forget it, it seems that you don't understand either."
He sighed, "That's right, your EQ is quite low."
I can't talk today.
Conan choked half to death, clutching his chest and rolling his eyes.
After finally getting over his breath, he glanced at the inside of the Eye Club, and suddenly stood up excitedly: "Wait, where is Miss Shimabukuro?"
It was there just now, why suddenly it disappeared.
Did you go back to the backyard?
Oops!
Conan turned his head and left, wanting to remind Hattori Heiji who was still searching behind.
At this time, there was a sudden pull on the collar.
"Why are you running? She's still there. She didn't go to the backyard. She just went to the cubicle to put on makeup."
Sankaiyue held Conan's collar rather curiously, and lifted it vigorously...
Did not mention it.
Conan: "..."
With a calm expression on his face, the young man pointed to his pocket and reminded, "Besides, you can call him, it's always faster than running over to notify him."
forget!
Conan patted his head, quickly took out his phone, said a few words and hung up.
Junhui Shimabukuro did not go back.
However, Conan has been waiting, but did not wait for her to appear.
As the sky gradually darkened, he began to fidget, always feeling that he had overlooked something.
The crowd who came to participate in the ceremony also gradually gathered around. Most of them bought number plates, and waited for the longevity woman to draw three numbers, and then bestowed the Dugong arrow.
Conan noticed that there seemed to be some people from the TV station filming nearby.
He was surprised: "Is it so famous?"
"Yes, as long as you draw the arrow of the dugong and sell it to some entrepreneurs in need, you can easily get several million yen." Mikayue propped his head and gave Conan a science introduction to Conan who hadn't done his homework, "In the black market, The price of an unused dugong arrow has almost reached over ten million."
He looked at the little longevity woman who came out slowly, and a smile of interest suddenly appeared on his face.
"Oh, did you choose this path?"
What this one?
Conan raised his head, only to see Sankaiyue squinting, his expression flickering and indistinguishable in the jumping flames.
At this time, a hoarse old woman's voice sounded.
"Today, I want to announce something."
Immediately afterwards, there was a clear and pleasant girl's voice, "The Longevity Lady of Mermaid Island is a fake!"
Conan turned around abruptly.
tear-
He seemed to hear the sound of the mask being peeled off his face alive.
Everyone watched helplessly, and the young and beautiful face of the young girl was revealed under the mask of the longevity woman.
The locals around the shrine looked like geese with their necks choked, with their mouths open and their tongues sticking out.
But he couldn't say a word.
Absurd and silent.
"It's so fun, your expressions are really funny!"
Only the boy who directed this scene happily slapped the table, and loud laughter echoed under the entire sky.
N-A-A
