At 9:30 pm, on the sea near the American Island.
There were sounds of water in the sea, and the bright moonlight shone on the blue water. As the water rippled, it glowed like silver scales.
Suddenly, there was a "swiping" sound from the sea water, and then a girl in a purple skirt was seen riding a broom and flying out of the sea water. She stood in the air, staring at the sea below, her brows furrowed. wrinkle:
"The mermaid's grave is not here either... It's strange. I've searched the two-mile radius of the American island, but why haven't I found it yet? Could it be that the mermaid legend here is false? However, the mermaid in the shrine The statue must have been blessed by a real mermaid mage... Mermaids should have really appeared here..."
Koizumi Anko was thinking in her heart, and flew twice in the air on her broom:
"Maybe... I can't detect it with my red magic ability? Speaking of which, when it comes to searching places like graves, Yunwen-san might be better than me, right? Otherwise, ask Yunwen-san to help me. ?”
Koizumi Anko thought about it, reached out from her skirt, took out a mobile phone, glanced at it and frowned:
"Damn it! There is no signal here! It seems that if you want to make a call, you have to go back to the island..."
Koizumi Hongzi thought about this, stuffed her cell phone back into her skirt, rode her broom, and flew towards the American Island...
…
Mihua Town, inside the cafe.
Seeing Conan and Hattori Heiji holding the wall together and walking into the bathroom together, Shu Yunwen put down the small plate in his hand with a speechless expression and complained:
"I said, why did these two guys go in holding on to the wall again? Are they really hungry? Why do I feel like they met each other and took drugs..."
After Shu Yunwen finished speaking, Loli Ai, who was eating the cake, choked on the cake and coughed. Tsukamoto Sumi immediately took toilet paper to wipe the cream from Haiyuan's mouth and said with a smile: "Xiao Ai, you Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry..."
"Well, thank you." Luo Liai thanked Shumei. At the same time, Shu Yunwen's cell phone suddenly rang.
Shu Yunwen quickly took out his mobile phone from his pocket and was slightly startled after looking at the number——
Strange, isn’t this Koizumi Hongzi’s number?
What was she doing on the phone in the middle of the night?
Shu Yunwen was confused, glanced at his girlfriend sitting next to him, pressed the answer button and said: "Hello, hello, is this Xiaoquan-san?"
Beside Shu Yunwen, Tsukamoto Sumi froze when she heard the name "Koizumi-kun", glanced at Shu Yunwen secretly, and continued to absentmindedly wipe Loli's mouth——
At this time, some people are planning to go to bed, right? Koizumi Hongzi, what's the matter with her calling?
By the way, although Shu Yunwen has repeatedly stated that Koizumi Hongzi likes Kuroba Kaito, Sumei is still a little worried that this witch will come to pry her off and steal her boyfriend...
"Yes, it's me. Hello, classmate Yunwen." Koizumi Hongzi's voice came from the phone, "What do you want to do now?"
"Well, it's okay. I'm having dinner with Sumei-chan!~"
As Shu Yunwen spoke, he looked at Tsukamoto Sumi who was peeking at him from the side, and glanced at Loli Ai. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. He reached out and patted Sumi's arm, and pointed at Loli Ai. sorrow.
Tsukamoto Sumi turned around and realized that because she didn't look at Haibara when she wiped her face, she actually smeared the cream on the paper all over her face——
At first glance, it looks like I have applied a thick layer of low-quality foundation! ~
Tsukamoto Sumi was stunned for a moment, then shouted "Ah", and quickly took out a stack of toilet paper from the paper drawer next to her, and helped Haibara continue wiping his face with an apologetic look on his face:
"I'm sorry, Xiao Ai, I was not careful just now..."
MMP! Don't be careful, you big-headed ghost!
Your family can accidentally smear cream all over my face~! ~
You obviously didn't see what I was painting!
Roli Ai complained in her heart, took the tissue from Tsukamoto Sumi's hand, wiped her face a few times, then stood up and said, "I'm going to wash my face."
Loli'ai stood up and left. On the phone, Koizumi Hongzi asked again: "Are you having dinner at this time?"
"Well, I encountered something difficult today." Shu Yunwen didn't explain too much and went straight to the point, "Xiaoquan-san, do you have anything to do with me?"
On the other side of the phone, Koizumi Hongzi stood on the edge of a cliff, listening to the sound of the tsunami: "That's it, classmate Yunwen, I have something to ask you for help... Do you know the mermaid grave, right?"
"Mermaid grave? Of course I know this!~" Shu Yunwen nodded——
After being "created" by people from the dark world, the mermaid race still retains many human habits, such as being buried in graves after death, which is one of them.
However, because most of the mermaid’s graves are in the sea, they are rarely discovered! ~
While Shu Yunwen was thinking about it, Koizumi Hongzi spoke again: "It's easy to explain if you know it. Recently, when I was making potions, I needed a plant of immortality..."
"Immortality grass?" Shu Yunwen was stunned when he heard the name. After thinking for a while, he asked, "You are talking about mermaid grass, right?"
By the way, Shu Yunwen remembered that the family inheritance mentioned that mermaid plant is a strange medicine that grows next to the mermaid cemetery. Only one plant will appear next to a mermaid skeleton. Its entire body is composed of dark energy and its shape is aqua blue. It looks like a mermaid and is an auxiliary medicine for refining longevity medicine, so some people call it longevity grass——
According to Shu Yunwen's speculation, the folklore saying that eating mermaid meat can lead to immortality is most likely due to someone from the dark world telling ordinary people that mermaid grass can be used to refine life-enhancing medicine. In addition, The strange appearance of the mermaid plant was finally spread like this...
"Well, yes, it is indeed called that name." Koizumi Hongzi immediately replied, "In order to find the longevity grass, I checked the handwriting at home and found that there were people on the American Island near Tokyo, Japan two hundred years ago. Fish activity, and then I came here today to look for the mermaid’s grave, but I never found it..."
Shu Yunwen was stunned when he heard this: "Then you called me to... ask me for help?"
"That's right!" Koizumi Hongzi responded, "Yunwen, you specialize in ghost spells. I think you should be better at finding graveyards than me, so..."
"That's right!" Shu Yunwen nodded in realization and agreed directly, "I'm really good at finding graves, but I'm not completely sure... Well, tell me a time, and I'll rush over as soon as possible to help you!"
"Okay, thank you very much!~" Koizumi Anko said immediately, "I'm on the American island now, but it's very late now. You can just take the tourist boat here tomorrow. I remember that there are 10 passenger boats coming here every day. Two shifts, going to sea at about eight o'clock in the morning——"
"——Well, that's right. The scenery here on the American Island is nice, and the seafood is delicious. You can bring your girlfriend along and treat it like a trip!~"
"Well, okay, no problem!~"
Shu Yunwen agreed and chatted with Koizumi Hongzi for a few more words before hanging up the phone.
As soon as the phone was hung up, Shu Yunwen immediately turned to look at Shumei-chan who was eavesdropping with her ears upright, and explained with a smile: "It's a call from Koizumi-san. She has something to ask me for help. She asked me to go to the American Island near Tokyo tomorrow. . By the way, Koizumi-san also invited you to go with him, so I thought it was a trip..."
"Oh? Really?" Tsukamoto Sumi responded, pouting slightly, "She knows that I am next to you now, so she invited me, right? If I am not here now..."
Yo ho? Our cute Shumei-chan, are you jealous?
Shu Yunwen looked at Shumei who was pouting, and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch Tsukamoto Shumei's nose, turned it back and forth, laughed and said: "...Sumi, you are so cute, even if you are not next to me now, I I will also come with you!~"
"Hmm..." Tsukamoto Sumi was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Kana Kimijima who was sitting opposite silently eating dog food. She punched Shu Yunwen's chest with a small fist in embarrassment and said coquettishly:
"I hate it, Yunwen-kun, don't pinch other people's noses..."
After Tsukamoto finished his beautiful words, Shu Yunwen suddenly leaned on the back of the seat, and the corner of his mouth twitched——
What the hell! Sumei-chan, why are you hitting my chest again?
Other people's girlfriends get money for being coquettish, Shumei-chan, your coquettish behavior will cost you your life...
Shu Yunwen stretched out his hand to touch his stuffy chest, and continued to discuss with Tsukamoto Sumi, and decided to go to the American Island together tomorrow.
The two of them had discussed it, and Tsukamoto Sumi raised her hand to look at her watch, and then said "Ah": "We have to get up early tomorrow to take the passenger ship... It's already nine forty-five now, we have to go back immediately and pack our luggage. , Just go to bed early..."
"Yeah, that's right." Shu Yunwen also raised his hand to look at his watch, and then said, "...Then let's wait until Hui Yuan comes back from the bathroom and leave!~"
After Shu Yunwen finished speaking, Tsukamoto Sumi nodded first, and then asked with some worry: "By the way, what about Conan and Hattori-san? They keep having diarrhea, will it be a problem? Should we wait for them to come out and take care of them? one time?"
"No need!" Shu Yunwen shook his head, "They are not children, they can take care of themselves."
Tsukamoto Sumi heard this and said "ha": "...but Conan is just a child!~"
"Uh..." Shu Yunwen concluded, and then defended, "I mean, Hattori is also a high school student after all. He can take care of the two of them no problem, don't worry!"
Shu Yunwen chatted with Tsukamoto Sumi and Kimijima Kana for a while. After Loli Ai came out of the bathroom, he stood up and walked out of the store, took a taxi and left.
Not long after Shu Yunwen and the others left, Conan and Hattori Heiji walked out of the bathroom holding on to the wall. Their eyes fell on the spot where Shu Yunwen and the others had been sitting, and they were all stunned:
"Where's that guy Shu Yunwen? Is he gone?"
"Damn it! This bastard, he can run fast, otherwise I will rush over and beat the crap out of him right now!"
"Yes! Beat the shit out of him!"
"Just watch! Next time I meet him, I will definitely give him a good look!"
"..."
Conan and Hattori Heiji were filled with indignation and expressed their determination together. Suddenly, their stomachs started to growl again.
When the two detectives heard the sound, the corners of their mouths twitched twice. After looking at each other, they turned around again and walked into the bathroom while holding on to the wall...
…
It’s half past ten in the evening, Cupido Town.
In an FBI stronghold, Shuichi Akai was wearing headphones, listening to the recording, and staring blankly at the two sketches on the table.
Suddenly, Akai Shuichi felt a darkness beside him, and then someone took off the earphones on one side, and then a female voice sounded: "Shuichi, what are you listening to?"
Akai Shuichi quickly pressed the stop button of the Walkman, then turned to look to his side, slightly startled: "Judy? Is it you? Aren't you at home in Miwa Town?"
"You haven't been seen for several days, so I heard from my colleagues that you were here, so I rushed over immediately." Judy replied with a smile, then looked at the two sketches on the table, a little distracted, "This is Miss Mingmei's sketch? It's really similar, and the person next to her..."
Judy looked at Cheng Shi's portrait, her brows suddenly furrowed, and she stretched out her hand to pinch her chin: "...It's strange, this person looks so familiar to me, as if I've seen it somewhere before!"
Akai Shuichi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked urgently: "Judy, have you seen this woman? Please think carefully about where you saw her!"
"Well, okay." Judy held her chin and thought. About half a minute later, Judy suddenly punched her fist and said, "I remember! I have seen this person in the Japanese police files! Shuichi, do you still remember when Belmode sneaked into the Metropolitan Police Department and stole the case files?"
"Of course I remember!" Akai Shu nodded, and Judy continued to explain:
"The reason why Belmod stole all the case files of Detective Maori is still a mystery. In order to investigate the matter, I asked my superiors to communicate with the Japanese police and internally copied all the cases involving Detective Maori and reviewed them one by one. This person and what happened The murderer in the case on Moon Shadow Island is very similar! I remember his name is..."
"…Narimi Asai?"
Akai Shuichi's expression suddenly became serious, and then he asked: "How is the murderer now? Could it be... that he is dead?"
"Ah? How do you know?" Judy looked a little surprised. "The police file mentioned that the murderer burned himself to death before he was caught. He was playing moonlight on the piano when he died... Why? ?Are you interested in this person?"
"Yes, there is some interest." Akai Hide nodded, "You just said that you copied the case file of the Metropolitan Police Department, right! Could you please bring me the file of Narumi Asai? Take a look?"
"Okay, of course no problem!"
Judy responded and turned around to get the file. Akai Shuichi squinted his eyes, pinched his chin and started thinking——
In his opinion, if Mingmei and Asai Narumi can "get together", they must have something in common!
All of this is probably hidden in the files!
