Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends

That day, Hattori Heiji suddenly sent a message to Yuya, inviting him to a small island called Mermaid Island, saying that he had received a commission.

"Mermaid Island?" Yuya was stunned, subconsciously glanced at Miyano Shiho, thought about it and deliberately raised his voice, "What Mermaid Island, you won't tell me that there are mermaids on that island?"

"As a detective, you actually believe in such a legend?"

Mermaid Island? Miyano Shiho's ears trembled slightly, and he looked up at Yuya.

"Hey, of course I don't believe in that kind of legend," Hattori Heiji shouted into the microphone on the other end of the phone, "Didn't I say that I received a commission."

"Just do it if there is a commission, why are you looking for me?" Yuya picked his ears and pouted.

"Hey, what's your attitude!" Hattori Heiji was very dissatisfied, "I heard that it is a tourist attraction, so I specially invited you and Kudo to play together!"

"Is that so..." Yuya touched his chin.

At this moment, Shiho Miyano handed over a piece of paper, which read: I went to Mermaid Island with Gin and Vodka to investigate something.

Yuya pretended to be surprised and looked at Shiho Miyano, who nodded gently.

"Is that so? That's fine, but since you invited me, the cost..."

Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Yes, yes, I'll pay for the trip." Really, the family must be very rich to live in such a big house, and they are still arguing with him about such a small travel expense.

"OK!" Yuya immediately laughed happily. It doesn't matter whether it's money or not, the main thing is that it's the best for free!

The two agreed on the time and place to meet, and then hung up the phone.

Yuya looked at Miyano Shiho and asked, "Is there anything on Mermaid Island that the organization cares about?"

Miyano Shiho said, "It's about the legend of mermaids and immortality, but after we investigated, we found that it was just a lie, so we left soon."

"Is that so." Yuya pretended to be disappointed and said, touching her head, "The past is over. This time we go there, let's have a good time. I heard that it's a tourist attraction!"

"Okay." Miyano Shiho nodded gently.

She still remembered that the scenery on Mermaid Island was really good. She didn't have the opportunity to visit it last time. This time she would make up for the regret. Anyway, with Yuya, it doesn't matter where she goes.

···

The next day, the five-member team - Yuya, Miyano Shiho, Conan, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, came to the agreed pier together.

Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha were already waiting here.

"Hey, why is there one more?" Hattori Heiji looked at Suzuki Sonoko with some surprise.

"Sorry, Hattori," Ran Maori smiled a little embarrassedly, "Sonoko heard that we were going to Mermaid Island, so she came along."

"Ah, it's okay," Hattori Heiji certainly didn't care about such things, but he still said with some embarrassment, "Then you should have told me earlier, I bought six tickets... Forget it, I'll buy another one."

"Uh..." Ran Maori was stunned, she didn't even think of this problem.

After a while, Hattori Heiji came back, scratching his head with a painful look on his face: "It's a bit troublesome, the tickets have been sold out, it seems that there will be some kind of festival on Mermaid Island today, so many people are going, and other boats are full."

Suzuki Sonoko was a little disappointed: "Is that so, then there's nothing we can do, you guys go and have fun."

"Sonoko..." Ran Maori held her bestie's hand with some guilt. If she hadn't neglected to tell Hattori Heiji in advance, there would be no accident now.

"Sonoko, where is your yacht?" Yuya suddenly asked.

Suzuki Sonoko clapped her hands: "Yes, I'll ask my family to drive the yacht over!"

Everyone:... As expected of a lady from the Suzuki Group, she is rich and arrogant, and she can drive a yacht whenever she wants.

Just as Suzuki Sonoko was about to take out her phone, several people who were about to board the boat walked by.

One of the black-haired girls suddenly had bright eyes and waved at Suzuki Sonoko: "Sonoko!"

Suzuki Sonoko was stunned for a moment, and then she smiled happily: "Sister Xiajiang!"

This black-haired girl is called Rakumoto Xiajiang, the eldest daughter of the Rakumoto family.

When she heard Suzuki Sonoko say that she didn't buy a ticket to Mermaid Island, she immediately invited them to take her family's cruise ship.

The group walked towards the Rakumoto family's cruise ship, ready to board the boat.

On the way, Suzuki Sonoko whispered to her friends gossiping: "It's rare for the Ryūmoto family to travel together. I remember that their family is not very harmonious, and many people are eyeing the old man's inheritance. Xia Jiang doesn't like to go out with others... Is today a special day?"Perhaps Suzuki Sonoko's voice was not low enough, and was heard by Ryomoto Natsue. She smiled and said, "Actually, today is my wedding!"

Suzuki Sonoko widened her eyes in surprise: "What, you got married? How come I didn't know!"

Ryomoto Natsue tilted her head in confusion: "You didn't know? Strange, I remember sending a wedding invitation to the Suzuki family..."

Suzuki Sonoko's expression froze, she seemed to remember something.

Before, her father said there was a wedding banquet and asked her if she wanted to go. She was busy watching Kyogoku Makoto's game at the time, so she refused without thinking. Unexpectedly, it was Ryomoto Natsue's wedding.

She was so embarrassed that she just laughed it off and said, "Maybe my dad didn't tell me!"

"Is that so?" Rakumoto Natsue didn't care too much. Even if she cared, it would be useless. Could she question the second daughter of the Suzuki Group...

"According to our family tradition, our weddings for generations must be held on Rakumoto Island. I just heard that the Mermaid Festival is about to begin. The two islands are not far away. I plan to go to Mermaid Island after the wedding."

"I heard that the dugong arrow obtained at the Mermaid Festival has divine power, and those who get it can stay young forever!"

"Staying young forever?!" Suzuki Sonoko widened her eyes in surprise, and even Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha showed an interested look.

Only Miyano Shiho was unmoved, because she knew it was all a lie.

Hattori Heiji curled his lips in disdain: "It's just a scam, how can it really stay young forever?"

"Heiji, don't interrupt if you don't understand!" Toyama Kazuha glared at Hattori Heiji with dissatisfaction.

Hattori Heiji snorted and turned away with contempt.

Toyama Kazuha was immediately unhappy when he saw this, and stretched out his hand to twist Hattori Heiji's ear.

Just at this time, everyone stepped onto the deck of the cruise ship.

An old man in a kimono walked out of the cabin and saw that there were suddenly a few unfamiliar people on his ship, and he immediately looked unhappy.

This old man was the head of the Hashimoto family, Hashimoto Gozo.

There was another woman next to Hatamoto Gozo, who was Hashimoto Natsue's sister, Hashimoto Akie.

She knew her grandfather's temper very well, so she immediately stopped him who wanted to chase him away, and pointed at Suzuki Sonoko who was walking in front with her chin: "Grandpa, that's the second daughter of the chairman of the Suzuki Group."

Hakatamoto Gozo:...

The old man's face changed for a while, and he swallowed the curse that was about to come out - forget it, it's more lively with more people.

However, when Suzuki Sono came up, followed by five adults and one child, his face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Damn, even if she is the daughter of the Suzuki Group, she can't...

He suddenly turned around and scolded his eldest son-in-law, Ryūmoto Kitaro: "You can't even manage a ship, the personnel arrangement is also a mess, and what pig food you just ate! What else can you do! Do you want me to teach you step by step?!"

Hakatamoto Gozo was in a bad mood, and suddenly a few strangers appeared on the boat, but he didn't dare to get angry at Suzuki Sonoko, nor at her companions, so he had to vent his anger on his own people.

He can't afford to offend the Suzuki Group, so how can he not teach a son-in-law a lesson?
