"I...I didn't," the woman said with a trembling voice, "I just wanted to commit suicide..."
Conan, who was hiding behind the corner, didn't notice Chi Feichi outside the door. He thought about it silently and saw that the woman put a knife on his neck at first. This must be the truth...
Um? Wait, why does he suspect that the prisoner is deliberately excusing himself?
It's all Chi Feichi's fault!
"Idiot! Life is not divided between you and me. Every life is precious and must not be taken away easily. Any idiot who takes a life is a murderer! Even if he takes his own life!" Hattori Jinghua picked up the scabbard with a stern expression and stood up. Sheathed the long sword with a 'swipe', "You have to remember this!"
At the door, Chi Feichi watched the show quietly.
Hattori Heiji quietly walked aside, turned around, looked around, and approached Chi Feichi. Just when he was about to ask Chi Feichi if he was shocked by his mother's performance, his approaching face was blocked by a hand and pushed away.
Chi Feichi looked into the room the whole time without turning his head.
He's a grown man, don't get so close to him suddenly...
Hattori Heiji:"……"
He just wanted to get closer and have a quiet word. Brother Chi's indifferent and ugly attitude was a bit hurtful!
In the room, Shizuka Hattori turned around, his strong aura subdued, and with a smile, he handed the knife to Hengo Zengo who had not yet recovered.
"Okay, can we go? Officer!"
"Uh, um..." Henggou Shenwu subconsciously caught the knife, still a little confused.
"Ms. Chibo, please stay!"
Conan used Mouri Kogoro's voice to stop Hattori Shizuka, "Should you explain why you told those four lies? You said you have bad bronchial tubes, but you like knitting sweaters. This is really suspicious. Knowing the type of fish just by looking at the fish fillets means that you are not ignorant of cooking and that you are married. This can be seen from the ring mark on the ring finger of your left hand. Also, because the finger wearing the ring has poor blood circulation. Well, that finger will be very thin..."
Shizuka Hattori raised his left hand and looked at it. Well, it was a little thinner than the fingers on his right hand.
"Then there's 'Reiko'. There's no such name in the ninja novel you mentioned. What did you mean by 'Reiko' when you were in the cafe?" Conan asked.
"Reiko is iced coffee." At the door, Hattori Heiji endured the frustration of being 'ugly rejected' and explained in a casual tone, "Iced coffee is called Reiko in Osaka. She originally wanted to order iced coffee, but later she was afraid that she was Osaka When the person’s identity was exposed, he quickly stopped and changed his words to say that the names were from ninja novels, right, auntie?”
Conan looked over: "..."
Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
Why do these three people appear here at the same time?
This is Shizuoka, not far from Tokyo and Osaka.
Uh, but...
The Twilight Pavilion he went to last time was also far away from Tokyo. He had just silently complained about Chi Feichi in his heart, but not long after entering the annex, Chi Feichi suddenly appeared.
It was the same this time. He had just complained about Chi Feichi in his heart, but Chi Feichi suddenly appeared again?
It's so scary.
People say, "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here." Chi Feichi can summon him just by complaining in his heart, right?
Not only is there no geographical restriction, but this time Hattori and Kazuha are also included...
Mao Lilan noticed the three people at the door and was stunned, "Hattori, Kazuye? Not Brother Chi?"
"Hey, auntie..." Hattori Heiji stepped forward to pull Hattori Shizuka and said disgustedly, "Isn't your work over? Go back to Osaka quickly!"
Conan retracted the thoughts that almost floated to the sky, laughing in his heart.
What is he thinking? It seems that this woman should be an acquaintance of Hattori and Chi Feichi. It is not surprising that these two guys appear here.
As for the fact that he happened to complain about Chi Feichi... it was definitely a coincidence!
"Well..." Mouri Kogoro woke up in a daze and saw Hattori Heiji's 'rudeness' to Hattori Shizuka. He immediately stepped forward and grabbed Hattori Heiji's collar and scolded, "Hey, you stinky boy , Obasan, Obasan yelled, it’s so rude to Ms. Chibo!”
"It doesn't matter what I call her, right?" Hattori Heiji said speechlessly, "Because she is my mother!"
Mouri Kogoro, Conan, Mouri Ran, and Henggou Sango suddenly looked horrified and looked at Hattori Shizuka and Hattori Heiji blankly.
Hattori Shizuka was a little embarrassed, narrowed his eyes and smiled at a group of people, and acquiesced.
"Lie, lie!" Mao Lilan took a step back and couldn't help but pointed at Hattori Heiji and said, "Your skin is obviously so dark!"
"Isn't it too hurtful for you to say that? My skin color is inherited from my father!" Hattori Heiji roared with black lines on his head.
What's going on today, everyone is here to hurt his little heart...
…
After Hattori Shizuka went downstairs, she explained to Mouri Kogoro why she hid her identity and went to the Mouri Detective Agency.
"What?" Mouri Kogoro was surprised, "Are you testing me?"
"Yes, because Heiji always got injured recklessly, and later he and Fei Chi were attacked and fell into the sea and caught a cold," Shizuka Hattori explained, "You didn't agree to visit my house last time you came to Osaka. , so I am a little worried that Mr. Maori is a stinky man who relies on his elders, treats his younger generation harshly, is unreasonable, indifferent and ruthless..."
Maori Kogoro:"……"
"That's why I wanted to see what kind of person you are in person, but after meeting me this time, I understand," Shizuka Hattori said with a smile to Kogoro Mori, "Mr. Mori, you are kind and smart. No wonder My Heiji admires you so much, and Fei Chi also says that you are a reliable person!"
"You, you're flattered." Mouri Kogoro smiled dryly, feeling happy in his heart.
It turns out that my disciple said to the outside world that he is a reliable person. Chi Feichi did not accept him in vain, and Hattori is also very good...
These two children are really adorable no matter how you look at them?
Mouri Kogoro raised his eyes, saw Chi Feichi's expressionless and indifferent face, and silently put away his previous comments.
Forget it's cute, it's just... pretty good.
"Although it is a pity that such an unfortunate thing happened to Mr. Shibata, I finally got this photo back..." Shizuka Hattori looked at the photo in his hand, and smiled at Kogoro Mori, "In this case, Then I can safely entrust them to you!"
"Entrusted?" Mouri Kogoro was confused.
Mao Lilan also wondered, "By the way, why do Fei Chi, Hattori, and Kazuha all carry suitcases?"
Chi Feichi turned around and asked Hattori Heiji, "You haven't told them yet?"
"I told you!" Hattori Heiji pointed at Conan and explained, "I called Conan before and asked him if he wanted to go find the mermaid together during the winter vacation. I also told him that you agreed to go together, and he I also agreed."
Conan: "..."
Hey hey...
Wasn't that call a joke?
These two people are still bored. Are they going to find some mermaid?
…
The next day.
The sky is dark over the sea, and seagulls are flying low and chirping incessantly.
After having breakfast, the passengers went to the deck of the passenger ship to enjoy the sea breeze and watch the sea view.
"You brat, you have to thank me properly," Mouri Kogoro said to Hattori Heiji while lying on the side of the guardrail, smoking a cigarette, "I ran over here rashly and said that there is a case to be investigated in Fukui. Doesn't it mean that I will follow you? I have nothing else to do..."
Chi Feichi stood aside, lowered his head and lit a cigarette. He was glad that he was over 20 years old, otherwise he wouldn't even have to drink, let alone cigarettes. "Is there any?"
Maori Kogoro:"……"
As a disciple, how could you dismantle him as a teacher?
"Well, you don't have much to do anyway," Hattori Heiji immediately understood and thanked Chi Feichi for his assist. "And I'm responsible for the cost of coming here, so you have nothing to lose."
"Okay," Mouri Kogoro interrupted with a black line, changing the subject, "Where is the island we are going to? You should tell me now, right?"
"It is a small isolated island located in Wakasa Bay. It is called American Island. The residents living nearby seem to say that it is... an island where mermaids live." Hattori Heiji turned his head and looked at the isolated island that had come into view, and other People talked about the 'letter for help'.
Chi Feichi quietly looked at the sea and smoked.
Wakasa... Rumi!
After the ship docked, a group of people went to the hotel that Hattori Heiji had booked before.
The original arrangement was that Mao Lilan, Toyama and Ye would share a room, Conan would share a room with Maori Kogoro, and the remaining Chi Feichi would share a room with Hattori Heiji, but...
"Hehe..." Conan took his small luggage bag and stood in front of Chi Feichi and Hattori Heiji with a smile.
"Huh? You want to share a room with us?" Hattori Heiji said in disgust, "Please, can't you stay with uncle? You have to squeeze in with us."
"Uncle snores when he sleeps. Sometimes he can't sleep at all if he is woken up in the middle of the night." Conan explained, putting his luggage bag aside, "and the three of us are staying together. If there are any clues about the mermaid murder, we can't sleep at all." We can discuss it together."
Chi Fei didn't say anything, still staring at the phone.
Still want to sleep tonight? nonexistent.
"Okay, okay," Hattori Heiji said with an arrogant look of 'reluctantly agreeing', "We'll just take you in for the night."
"Heiji, Brother Feichi, Conan, have you packed up over there?" Toyama Kazuha's voice came from outside the door, "Hurry up, don't you still have to find the client?"
"I know, come right away!" Hattori Heiji responded.
"You go first," Chi Feichi said without raising his head, "I have a copy of the company's recent event planning that I want to read. Just tell me after you understand the situation."
"You have to be busy with the company when you are traveling?" Hattori Heiji was helpless, scratched his hair, cheered up again, raised his hand and patted Conan's head with a smile, "Okay, then I will take this brat first Get over here! Let’s go, kid!”
Conan glanced at Hattori Heiji for a half-moon and said, "Speak carefully and don't do anything."
The two people left the room. Chi Feichi listened to the conversations outside and walked away. After waiting for a while, he got up and put on his computer bag and went out. He went all the way to the beach without specifically observing the surrounding situation.
With two high school detectives by his side, it was difficult for him to come into contact with anyone.
However, with so many seagulls near Mermaid Island, he really doesn’t need to do anything himself...
