"Mochizuki Police Department, the ship is about to dock. We can prepare to disembark."
"Just in time, Detective Guangtian is here too. Here is your luggage."
Chiba and Shinobu took out a small bag and handed it to Masami Hirota who was standing beside him.
Miyano Shiho turned her head sadly when she heard the man call her sister, with a sarcastic smile on her lips. It would be great if it was a real detective, so that she wouldn't worry about her sister.
It's a pity that they can only be mice in the gutter, and they are destined to never see the light of day.
"It's so troublesome for you."
Hirota Masami took the luggage and looked at Shiho hesitantly. She came with her colleagues. What would Shiho do alone.
"Don't worry, they're nearby."
Miyano Shiho raised her head again and tried to force out a smile. Gin and vodka came with her. Although she didn't know where they went after getting on the boat, they would definitely appear when they got off the boat.
"I'm leaving."
Hirota Masami didn't hesitate. Her family knew about her family affairs, and Shiho had more ideas than her.
"What? There are no mermaids at all, just a bunch of mermaid accessories."
Miwako Sato excitedly took Mochizuki to visit several stores, asking for news about mermaids, but found nothing.
I bought a lot of local specialties. If I continue like this, my salary this month will not be enough.
"Okay, just rest for a while. Someone has taken care of all the food and accommodation this time. Can we find a small shop and give him a good meal?"
Mochizuki pointed at Rensaburo Shiratori, who was carrying luggage behind him, and said that she saw a lot of delicious food, and now her stomach felt sour.
"It can only be the."
The three of them walked into a random shop and ordered a local seafood smorgasbord, as well as a few bottles of beer.
The location inside the store is not large, but there are many customers.
Mochizuki sniffed a little boredly. It was not good for her to have a sensitive sense of smell, especially in a seafood restaurant like this. The smell of sea was almost all around her nose.
"Shou Mei, are you going or not? Saori and I have made an appointment. If we can't draw the Dugong Arrow tonight, we will secretly go to the warehouse to find it."
Kuroe Naoko blocked the part-timer Hisumi Umihara at the door of the store and asked impatiently.
"But Jun Hui has already said that Changshou Po has never eaten mermaid meat, she just lives longer than other people."
"She is the granddaughter of Changshou Po. Of course she can live forever, but unlike us, we can only rely on dugong arrows."
Menxie Shazhi said with a sullen face and some resentment. They had been good friends since childhood, but Jun Hui refused to help at all.
There were no three friends in her heart at all, and she also said that Changshou Po was fake. How could this be possible?
"Oh well!"
Shoumei nodded. No one wanted to live forever. Jun Hui didn't have to believe it, but there was no reason to stop others from looking for it.
"Wangyue, let's go take a look too!"
Mihoko Sato made a series of funny mouth movements and kept signaling to Mochizuki.
"Eat yours!"
Mochizuki stuffed a crab leg into her mouth angrily. This kind of thing, which even a child would not believe, actually made three adults so crazy that they all started to steal. It was simply unflattering.
"Actually, I checked the information when I came here. Dugong arrows can protect lovers who fall in love and stay together forever. If Officer Sato is interested, we can go over there and take a look at it tonight."
The gentleman Shiratori Rensaburo took on the job of peeling shrimps and cutting crabs, and he continued to serve Miho Sato.
"Oh, is it true? Let's go together, Wangyue!"
Miho Sato nodded excitedly. With such excitement, how could she not go and see it?
Mochizuki curled her lips silently as she looked at the two people who were still chatting with each other.
What was wrong with her to follow these two people out? If she had known earlier, she should have followed Guangtian and stepped on the sand at the beach. What a sin!
Mochizuki picked up the beer and took a sip of it depressedly. Even the delicious food could not soothe her riddled soul.
"What, there's no seat!"
A familiar roar sounded from the door, and Wangyue raised her head in surprise.
Mouri Kogoro was wearing a red scarf with a victory symbol on his head. He was holding a brochure in his left hand and pulling hard on the door frame with his right hand. He was making a final struggle with the waiter in the store.
"I came to visit your island early in the morning just for the beer and seafood in your store, but you actually said there were no seats."
"Please don't do this. There will be a dugong celebration on the island tonight. There are so many guests. There are no free seats now. I'm really sorry, three of you."
The waiter bowed repeatedly, his head almost reaching the threshold.
"Dad, please stop making trouble, okay? Let's go to other places first and come back to eat later."
Mao Lilan pulled her father hard and tried to pull his hand off the threshold.
"If Detective Mori doesn't mind, you can eat with us."
Mochizuki waved to the waiter. The seafood here was very cheap and the portions were large. The three of them could barely finish this hodgepodge. She also wanted to try other things, so she just invited them to eat together.
"Sister Mochizuki?"
Kudo Shinichi's eyes lit up, and he pulled Mao Lilan to get under the drunkard uncle's arm and sat down opposite Mochizuki.
He was very hungry for a long time, but this uncle didn't want to go anywhere, so he had to drink beer in this small restaurant.
“That’s what it tastes like, it’s so good!”
Mouri Kogoro picked up the beer on the table and poured it into his mouth, sighing loudly while drinking.
"Sister Mochizuki, are you here to investigate the mermaid?"
Mao Lilan approached Mochizuki and asked quietly.
"Xiaolan, how can Sister Wangyue be as superstitious as you?"
Kudo Shinichi grabbed a big crab, took the scissors on the side, brushed it a few times, removed the crab legs, put half of it on Mao Lilan's dinner plate, and piled the rest on his own plate.
"You guessed wrong this time. Wang Yue came here specifically for this matter. What do you think? Are you surprised?"
Miho Sato laughed softly.
"I knew there must be a mermaid here, Officer Sato, can I go take a look with you later?"
Mao Lilan covered her mouth and looked expectantly at the two silent people.
Kudo Shinichi rolled his eyes, what on earth is going on with Xiaolan? She obviously wanted to disappear as soon as she heard such a topic in the past, but today she actually rushed up.
"Everyone has almost eaten. Let's go and see the dugong celebration first. It is a unique sacrificial activity on this small island."
Mochizuki ate all the food on the plate and asked a few people to leave quickly. It was almost time to make the appointment with Hirota and the others.
There is one more chapter, I will post it later.
