Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

? Half a month later, Fukui County, a small isolated island in the sea of ​​Wakasa Bay, America Island.

Just in time for the winter vacation, Gao Cheng took Xiao Ai to travel to this small island that is said to be inhabited by fish.

"Xiao Ai, have you been to this island before? Could it be because of that legend?"

In the hotel, Gao Cheng looked at Xiao Ai who was blowing wind by the window while reading the newspaper: "Why can you stay young and live forever after eating mermaid meat..."

Xiao Ai leaned against the window against the wind, and looked back at Gao Cheng faintly: "I have already forgotten."

"That's right, this kind of rumor is simply nonsense, besides, you are now a child, which is another kind of immortality..."

Gao Cheng stroked his chin and nodded.

Now the time in Conan's world will be at least 20 years longer. Probably, there is no need to worry about getting old for the time being.

"Anyway, it's a good idea to come to this small island where it's impossible to meet Uncle Maori. I haven't had any trouble since I've been here for two days..."

Gao Cheng flipped through the newspaper, and suddenly stopped, staring blankly at a prominent section report.

"What's wrong?" Hui Yuan couldn't help but wondered when he saw Gao Cheng calm down, "Did something happen again?"

"almost……"

Gao Cheng looked at the newspaper news reports.

"A few days ago, that clown Sakonji was burned to death in a solo magic show. He was burned to death because of a mistake in the magic performance... It seems that Reiko Kumomiya left behind a flawed magic trick, which was set in the past. trap……"

"Zuojinsi deserves to be blamed, but..."

Gao Cheng looked down and his expression became complicated.

"That Gao Yuanyao disappeared from prison..."

"Escaped from prison?" Huiyuan paused when he heard this.

"The above said it was like magic, disappearing without a trace." Gao Cheng frowned and closed the newspaper. "As a magician and a criminal, that guy is really amazing."

"If so,

I'm afraid you're in trouble too," Huiyuan reminded softly, "That man named Gao Yuan is a natural criminal, if he is allowed to act recklessly, there might be another 'hell puppet master' incident..."

Gao Cheng scratched his hair helplessly: "I have no choice but to catch him next time."

On the sea near the small island, a ship cut through the waves and sailed in the humid sea breeze.

"Really," Uncle Mori smoked a cigarette, leaned against the bow angrily, and complained to Hattori Heiji next to him, "He ran over without prior notice and asked me to go to Fukui County with you to investigate the case. I came here because your mother asked me to take care of you..."

"It doesn't matter," Hattori chuckled, "Anyway, I will pay for the travel expenses."

"And then?" Uncle Mao Li propped his chin and said listlessly, "Where is the island we are going to now?"

"It's called America Island. Although it's a small isolated island, people around here call it another name, which is the island where the mermaids live."

"Mermaid?"

"right."

Hattori looked ahead and explained: "I also heard that there is an old woman on that island who ate merman meat and became immortal..."

Xiao Lan and He Ye stood aside, excitedly said: "I've heard of this too, is it the old lady who caused the topic of immortality three years ago, right?"

"That's right," He Ye blushed with excitement, nodding in anticipation again and again, "I also came with him in order to be young and beautiful forever like him!"

Uncle Maori looked at Xiaolan, who was like a little girl, and turned to Hattori with a sullen face: "Hey, could it be that this entrustment is because someone wants to ask you to find a mermaid?"

"It's quite the opposite," Hattori shook his head. "The letter is just a short sentence, written in trembling handwriting, 'I will be killed by the mermaid, please save me!'"

Conan yawned boredly: "If you want to go to the island because of the legend of the mermaid, it's fine if you go by yourself... I suddenly called and said, 'Let's go find the mermaid together during the winter vacation', who knew you were serious?"

"Idiot," Hattori leaned over to Conan's ear and whispered, "If it was really that simple, I wouldn't have come all the way here...

"Although the recipient and address on the entrustment letter belong to my family, it is true that the title of the letter is your name. I thought it was Kido who used your identity to mess around, but I couldn't contact you. I have no choice but to find you here..."

"That guy seems to be traveling everywhere, why don't you look for him..." Conan half-folded his eyelids.

Shouldn't he be using the name "Kudo Shinichi" to bluff around?

Kido, last time he asked out of nowhere how to sign autographs for female fans...

"Ah Choo!" Gao Cheng and Xiao Ai walked in the village and suddenly sneezed heavily.

"Strange, it's not so easy to catch a cold, is it?"

Gao Cheng rubbed his nose depressedly.

Last time it was cold and I caught a cold, it seems that I need to wear more clothes...

"Hey," Huiyuan looked up at Gao Cheng, holding up a gray woolen scarf, "I just bought it at the hotel."

"Bought it for me?" Gao Cheng's eyes were moist, "I rarely buy things for you, and I haven't raised your salary for a long time. It's really incompetent to be a boss. Next time I make money, I will definitely add a bonus!"

Hui Yuan didn't fluctuate in his heart: "That's what you said last time, but you haven't made any money in the end."

"Hey, isn't that because the client is too pitiful to collect money, and there hasn't been any big business."

Gao Cheng followed Hui Yuan, looked at more and more strangers in the small village, and wondered: "But then again, why are there so many tourists all of a sudden?"

"Because today is the annual 'Dugong Festival'." Huiyuan looked at the lively atmosphere of the celebration around him, with a smile on his face, "It's been two days since you came here, don't you pay attention at all? "

"Dugong offering?"

"It's the mermaid sacrifice. It is said that dugongs look very similar to humans. They are mammals in the sea and the prototype of mermaids."

The gift shop at the corner of the village entrance is full of special products of Mermaid Island, all of which are related to mermaids, such as mermaid amulets, mission belts, dugong steamed buns... usually around five or six hundred yuan.

Gao Cheng stared at it for a while, and even though he felt it was useless, he bought an amulet for Hui Yuan.

"After participating in the dugong festival today, let's go back tomorrow..."

"Is this the gift shop that the assistant of the village office mentioned?" Xiaolan and her group walked outside the gift shop and were startled when they saw Gao Cheng's figure inside.

"what?"

"Senior Kido?"

"Eh?" Gao Cheng froze, turned his head feeling very bad, and his eyelids suddenly twitched.

"Why did you come here? I even chose a remote island!"

Uncle Mao Li's face collapsed: "I still want to ask you! Why are you here? It's not good every time I meet you..."
