The man named Kumi, who had dark brown hair, was slightly startled when he heard the voice. He turned to look at the woman behind him and laughed dryly and said, "Ie, I see what you said. I just want to show the friendliness of the locals... …”
"But the way you look now, you seem to be regarded as a suspicious bad guy, right?" The woman named Ie waved her hand, then stretched out her hand towards Hattori Heiji and said
"Hello, are you the high school detective Hattori Heiji who is going to challenge Mr. Mori?"
Hattori Heiji heard the words and said "uh", then helplessly stretched out his hand and defended himself, "Hello, I am Hattori Heiji, but I did not challenge that uncle, but a duel! Do you understand?"
"Well... these are not important." Yijiang smiled casually, "Anyway, I hope you can do your best, perform well, and find out the truth of the mysterious case on the island as soon as possible..."
After Ie said a few words casually, he walked to the corner of the cabin and began to organize the diving equipment. Taketomi Masao walked to Koshimizu Nanatsuki and Hattori Heiji and said with a smile, "Haha! Sorry, I I was doing some preparatory work just now, and I just finished my work this time, and I haven’t had time to introduce some of you..."
Masao Taketomi said, pointing to the people in the cabin and introducing, "These three are temporary staff hired by our program team locally. They are all familiar with the environment near Ghost Turtle Island and can make filming a lot easier for the program. They They are Mr. Yoshitsugi Kume, Mr. Noburo Ikema, and Ms. Ie Taira. In addition, there are Mr. Mikihiko Daito and the captain, Mr. Takashi Shimochi, who are staying in the cockpit now..."
Taketomi Masao first introduced these temporarily hired staff, and then introduced Conan, Hattori Heiji, and Xiaolan. Then he heard a voice coming from the cabin saying, "Okay, Director Taketomi, please don't Nonsense! We are about to dock. It’s best to hurry up, finish the work quickly, and rush back before dark - in this place, as soon as it gets dark, those ghosts will come ashore to claim their lives. The rumors are not false..."
After the voice fell, Taketomi Masao in the cabin laughed dryly, and then said, "Really, Mr. Daito, please don't make such a horrible joke, okay?"
"Haha! I'm not kidding, right, Captain Shimochi?"
Dadong responded, Xiaolan, and Ye Ze all said "Ah", leaned together involuntarily, and then asked with some fear, "What on earth is the 'ghost thing' you are talking about?"
After Xiaolan finished speaking, Kume Yoshitsugi immediately came over from the side and said gloomily, "What else could it be? Of course it's a ghost! This is a legend that has been circulating in Okinawa for a long time! It is said that a long time ago, there was a ghost near here. A dragon palace, in which lived a beautiful dragon girl. Later, for some unknown reason, the dragon girl died unexpectedly, and her men became ghosts. At night, they would be silent together with her men. Land without interest and take away the souls of living people..."
Kume Yoshitsugi's tone was ghastly and terrifying, and Noburo Ikema next to him stuck out his tongue in coordination, pretending to be a demon seeking life, which scared Xiaolan and Kazuha so much that they both said "ah" and hugged each other.
Seeing this, Taketomi Masao quickly waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, Mr. Kume, please stop talking. These are just legends..."
"That's right." Taira Ie also nodded, "I originally wanted to swim for a while when I got to the island later, but after you said that, I didn't want to swim anymore..."
"Haha! Sorry! Sorry!"
Yoshitsugi Kume and Noburo Ikema apologized quickly, while Conan and Heiji Hattori curled their lips in disdain and said, "Really, what about Ryugu, Dragon Girl, and ghosts? You will know it is a lie as soon as you hear it..."
"Yes!" Hattori Heiji nodded, then glanced sideways at Xiaolan and Kazuha, "...But even so, those two women were so scared that they were so cowardly!"
"Yeah! You're so cowardly!"
Conan and Hattori Heiji complained to each other, while Nanatsuki Koshizui reached out and pinched his chin, frowned slightly, and whispered softly.
"Dragon Palace? It's really... a bit interesting..."
…
Tokyo City, Yoneka-cho, 2-chome.
In front of Loli Ai's biological research laboratory, with a soft "crunch", a cleaning truck stopped, and then a woman wearing a cleaner's uniform stepped out of the vehicle.
The woman was slightly bloated and wore a hat on her head. After looking back and forth on both sides of the road, she picked up a cleaning box from the back seat of the car, walked quickly to the door of the laboratory, and opened the door skillfully. , walked in.
After the woman entered the room, she immediately took out an instrument from the box, swept it around, and then made a series of "didi" sounds.
Listening to these sounds, the woman chuckled, pressed a button on the instrument, and whispered softly, "...Sure enough, Shirley has arranged some alarm devices here, but it doesn't bother me..."
This woman is none other than Belmode!
Belmode interfered with the alarm device with the instrument in his hand, and after a brief search outside, walked into the laboratory.
The laboratory was well-equipped, and Belmod looked around casually. Finally, he walked to the cage for the white mice. After looking at the label on the cage, he opened one of the cages and carefully played with it. A little white mouse with a smile on his face
"...Is this guy Shirley also doing research on atx4869 here? Speaking of which, that guy Junya Tokizu said some weird things before... He should have been here too, right?"
Bermod suddenly thought of Shi Jinjunzai. After thinking for a while, he turned around and looked around.
"Speaking of which, with Tokijin Junzai's ability, since he has discovered Shirley, he must have installed cameras and other things here. Although Tokijin Junzai is dead now, the exorcist and Shirley must have Be very vigilant. If you install a camera or something here, it will most likely be exposed immediately, so my best choice is to just keep an eye on this place and look for good opportunities..."
Belmode thought about this, checked in the laboratory again, then left the laboratory, got in the car and left.
At the same time, on the roadside of 2-chome, Dr. Ari looked at the leaving cleaning truck with a slightly surprised expression.
"This cleaning truck is going to Haiyuan's laboratory, right? It seems inappropriate to find a cleaning truck for cleaning in a place like a laboratory..."
