Stay away from Conan

It seems that Xiao Ai deliberately waited until Koshizui Nanatsuki left before taking the initiative to tell the matter.

"What?"

In response to this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He lowered his head to look at Xiao Ai and asked in surprise -

After all, today, Xiao Ai, he and Nanatsuki Koshizu were all acting together. How come he and Nanatsuki Koshizu didn't make any special discoveries, but Xiao Ai did?

"Huh? Didn't you and the lady notice? There are mudskippers on this island."

Seeing Gao Yuan's puzzled expression, Xiao Ai seemed to be very proud and said.

"Mudskipper?"

Listening to this term, Gao Yuan knew the name of this fish, but he didn't know much more. He didn't even know what this fish looked like, so he didn't even know what it meant for the existence of this fish on the island. Got——

"Mudskippers are distributed in the northwest Pacific. In Japan, they are only found in the southern part of Japan. They are not a widely distributed fish."

Xiao Ai smiled lightly and explained:

"According to the geographical division of this fish, it can be indirectly proved that the Japanese archipelago may have been connected to the mainland next door."

"this……"

The corners of his eyes twitched. When he heard Xiao Ai talking about such a thing, Gao Yuan couldn't help but helplessly put his forehead on his hands and said:

"How many years ago did it happen? Is it related to what we are currently investigating?"

"That was probably during the Ice Age."

Xiao Ai continued:

"At that time, some rivers flowed from the mainland to the Japanese islands, and the mudskippers may have taken advantage of the areas of Japan that the rivers flowed to at that time."

"so what?"

After hearing this, he still couldn't understand the meaning of Xiao Ai's words at all, so Gao Yuan could only continue to ask.

In this regard, seeing that Gao Yuan still couldn't understand what he meant, Xiao Ai seemed even more interested, and said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth:

"Huh? Don't you understand? According to your previous discussion, you think the manpower required by the island's residents to build such an underwater ruin is simply not enough, right? But if you think about it differently, in the past, the island and Maybe a lot of people came to this island when the mainland was connected!”

"did you mean……"

At this moment, when talking about this, Gao Yuan finally understood what Xiao Ai meant, but he still felt a little shocked and said:

"I think the undersea ruins found on this island may really be man-made! But... that time was too early, wasn't it? Prehistoric civilization..."

"Prehistoric civilization didn't build large-scale facilities, right?"

Xiao Ai said:

"Besides, I just provided an idea."

"That's it."

Gao Yuan nodded slightly and replied. He felt that the idea provided by Xiao Ai was not impossible, so he thought about it and said:

"If the underwater ruins are really man-made buildings, no matter how simple they are, there should be space inside... Therefore, the treasure mentioned in the legend..."

Speaking of this, Gao Yuan's thoughts suddenly froze, and then his expression became serious:

"If it can be confirmed that the ruins are real, then...the missing tourist and the distressed Hattori Heiji..."

At this moment, what was originally just some lofty conjectures, now begins to seriously consider some possibilities -

Although investigating the undersea ruins and identifying the missing tourists should originally be two different things, if the undersea ruins are really man-made structures, perhaps the two incidents are actually related!

For example, there is someone on this island who is really convinced that the undersea ruins are real and has discovered the secrets of the undersea ruins. So in order to monopolize the legendary treasure, that person sent those who almost discovered the truth of the undersea ruins to They were dealt with one by one, and the incident of missing tourists occurred.

And if you think about it this way, there is a greater possibility that what Hattori Heiji encountered today was not an accident!

The idea at the beginning went astray. I and others came to investigate the undersea ruins, so the idea was to prove the authenticity of the undersea ruins. From a rational point of view, based on Hattori Heiji’s observation and conclusion, I and others felt that the ruins were There is a high possibility that it is a simple rock.

However, if some people believed that the ruins were real from the beginning, what would their thinking be?

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan immediately set off and rushed towards Mr. Obama's diving equipment rental shop next to the pier——

Some things may be answered there.

So, after seeing such a big change in Gao Yuan's attitude in a short period of time, Xiao Ai nodded slightly proudly, feeling that his words just now seemed to have really helped Gao Yuan a lot.

From this, Xiao Ai felt a little proud and followed Gao Yuan's footsteps, heading towards the diving supplies shop on the island——

"Is Mr. Obama here?"

And when Gao Yuan came to the diving supplies store and looked at the unlocked store door, Gao Yuan opened the door and looked at the lobby of the store. Only the Miss Aragaki whom he had seen today was there, Gao Yuan asked. asked the other party whether Mr. Obama was in the store.

In this regard, Miss Aragaki, who seemed to be tinkering with something on the table, heard that someone was coming to the store, and seemed not to want to move. Miss Aragaki said without even turning her head:

"It's too late today and we can't rent diving equipment to others."

"No, I came to Mr. Obama to inquire about something, not to rent diving equipment."

Seeing that the other party seemed busy, Gao Yuan did not rush to urge her, but he still explained his purpose to her seriously, hoping to know the whereabouts of Mr. Xiaohama.

"Mr. Xiaohama went out. I don't know where he went."

But Miss Aragaki still didn't raise her head and just responded like this.

"That's it..."

After learning about this situation, Gao Yuan was a little surprised, but looking at the lady in front of him, he thought that in the morning, Junya Tokijin said that she seemed to have been in the store a long time ago when there were many tourists on the island. As if to help, I tried to ask the other party a question:

"Well, since Mr. Obama is not here... Miss Aragaki, there is something you are not sure about. Isn't there three tourists who disappeared on the island before? Did those three tourists rent diving equipment before? And did you encounter anything during the dive? ”

With that said, Gao Yuan came a little closer, came to Miss Aragaki's side, and asked in a friendly manner.

However, at this moment, after Gao Yuan got closer to Miss Aragaki, he finally saw clearly what Miss Aragaki, who did not even look back when speaking, was busy with -

"Model aircraft?"

Looking at the parts on the table, Gao Yuan recognized what they were at a glance.

It is obvious that when these parts are assembled, it is an aircraft model, and it is obviously a real simulation model with a power system, which should be able to take off remotely.

So, when Gao Yuan saw that the other party seemed obsessed with assembling model aircraft, Gao Yuan thought about how to use this as a topic to get close to the other party, a thought suddenly flashed through Gao Yuan's mind -

"When the gaze is higher than the giants, the three giants merge into one... Is it possible that the secret of the so-called 'Giant Rock' means..."
