Night, Mermaid Island, Temple Square.
The rain kept falling, very hard, but people wearing black clothes came one after another, and everyone had a solemn look on their face.
Some children or young people were a little confused at first, but after being told that the Goddess had disappeared, they were all confused.
The older generation all agreed that the Goddess burned his own life for this island and to seal the revengeful mermaid soul, and dissipated into the breeze between heaven and earth.
"Lord Goddess has not disappeared, she just protected us in a different way." The village chief said.
Hoshino Sora and others were also mixed in the crowd, observing people's reactions.
"It looks like it's real. There are so many people coming to watch the funeral. It's outrageous." Hattori complained while holding an umbrella.
"Shh~" Hoshino Sora was originally sharing an umbrella with his uncle. When Hattori said this, he immediately changed positions, put his arm around Hattori's shoulders, and whispered, "Don't say it so loudly. This secret is rotten in everyone's stomach." It’ll be fine inside.”
"Is this also called loud? What I said was covered up by the sound of rain, right?" Hattori said.
"If we don't protect everything, who has sensitive ears?" Hoshino Sora said.
"..." Hattori rolled his eyes and then asked, "By the way, is this really possible to conceal the truth? I know you have good intentions and want to help Miss Junhui escape from the sea of misery, but you can't understand it just by relying on the superstitions of the village chief and others. The person is okay, but if a detective comes to investigate, the secret will definitely be revealed!"
Hoshino Kong smiled and said: "So, we still have to work hard."
"How?" Hattori asked, raising an eyebrow.
Hoshino Sora said: "Reporters will come tomorrow. We will have a talk then and talk about the process of how we solved the case..."
"Uh... process? There is no process at all. Didn't you catch the person?" Hattori felt unhappy when he mentioned this.
He suffered a lot from the crime, but he was always led by the murderer. The reasoning used was wrong. In the end, it was Ah Kong who caught him. What kind of thing is this!
Hoshino Sora said with a smile: "You can talk about how you accepted the commission and how you were led here. Then I will talk about how I battled wits and courage with the murderer. Finally, I will let the reporter polish it..."
"You want to use me to set you off!" Hattori looked unhappy, "Wait a minute, it won't be your reporter who comes here, right? It must be, you are the one who informed me, if it weren't for the fact that it is not suitable for traveling on the sea today. , I’m afraid they will come today!”
"Hehe, hehe~" Hoshino Sora smiled, saying nothing.
…
The next day, the rainstorm stopped at midnight. When the sun climbed out from the clouds in the early morning, its warm eyes shone on all living beings. Everyone felt warm, including many younger generations who had heard the elders tell the story of the Goddess's sacrifice. They felt the protection of Lord Goddess.
This protection is warm.
At the same time, a large number of reporters also swarmed in. Not only the reporters from Star Wish Daily and Star News, but also other colleagues, it was mainly Star Wish Daily that 'accidentally' leaked the news.
After Hoshino Sora and others said goodbye to Shimabukuro Kimie, they boarded a ship with the police and went back. Other reporters gave priority to staying on the island and began to interview excitedly. Only reporters from Star Wishes Daily and Star News received the news. Several people were separated and followed the boat.
Hattori was too lazy to accept this green leaf interview. He just took a photo and took Conan aside to vent his bitterness.
Hoshino Sora and Mouri Kogoro accepted the interview calmly, especially Uncle Mouri. Even if he was involved in the whole incident, he could show that he was the main force.
Therefore, Kogoro Mouri was responsible for fleshing out the entire case, and Sora Hoshino was responsible for setting up the skeleton. In short, they wanted to package a supernatural incident into a serious man-made incident.
This incident can be divided into two completely different ways and reported by different media. One is man-made and the other is supernatural. As for which one others believe, well, the first one if they believe in science, and the second one if they don’t believe in science. For those who believe it... it depends on which report is more convincing.
Theoretically, it is man-made, which is the most convincing, because the police will confirm this, but the supernatural cannot be underestimated. After all, Mermaid Island was originally known for its mystery.
This wave will bring a lot of traffic to Mermaid Island. If the people on the island seize the opportunity, they can make a lot of money.
Hattori met a young couple here, and it turned out to be Takazan Tsujimura, the son of diplomat Tsujimura whom he had been in contact with, and his girlfriend Sachiko Katsuragi.
It was also through conversation that he finally understood why the name of Kudo Shinichi was written at the beginning of the commission letter sent to him, and it was the result of Sachiko Katsuragi and Saori Kadowaki praising Kudo.
"Unfortunately, I feel like I will be reduced to a green leaf when I work on cases with you and Akora. It is you who are praised the most by others!" After the two Tsujimuras left, Hattori said an unhappy Conan.
"It's normal that you can't beat me, but you actually lost to Kong this time. Tsk tsk tsk. You can't even beat my assistant. It's really a bit inferior." Conan had a stern look on his face, feeling secretly happy.
It is undeniable that Hattori is his fierce rival, but because of this, he is so happy!
"You guys, don't be so proud. This time it was a bit unexpected. Next time, next time I will make you a green leaf!" Hattori looked indignant and clamored to regain his position next time.
Just when Hattori was making a pre-war announcement, Xiaolan suddenly came over and said, "Hey, Hattori, let me see that wound. It's the wound filled with love that Kazuha branded for you."
Behind Xiaolan, Heye's face turned red and he hesitated to speak, "Xiaolan, no..."
Hattori put one hand in his pocket, raised his left hand, exposed the back of his hand, and said nonchalantly: "Well, it's already scabbed. I picked it off when I got up in the morning..."
"No way, such a memorable wound..." Xiaolan looked pityful.
When Kazuye heard this, he was shocked and quickly grabbed Hattori's hand and examined it carefully, "How could it be? If I had known, I should have stabbed it deeper..."
"You must be Zhao Min!" Hattori complained.
Conan looked at Hattori's hand in his pocket and shook his head. He was really a guy who wanted to save face and suffer.
"Who is Zhao Min?" He Ye Wenyan suddenly became jealous, and immediately shook off Hattori's hand and stared at him.
"This name is so strange. It sounds like someone from the rabbit country." Xiaolan said.
"..." Hattori rolled his eyes and shouted speechlessly, "Idiot, that's a character in a novel. It's terrible to be uneducated. Read more books in the future."
"That's the heroine in martial arts..." Conan's mouth twitched. He had seen this book in Kong's study. He didn't expect Hattori to read this kind of book. I wonder if he would read Gu Long's book.
"Martial arts? Well, I always feel that Heiji has something to say. Conan, do you know the name of this book?" Mr. Kazuye felt that Hattori was alluding to something, but she didn't understand it, but it didn't matter. She would check it out slowly when she went back. Will find out.
"The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slaying." Conan replied.
