"I heard that on this island, there is an old woman who ate mermaid meat in order to live forever." Hattori Heiji was standing on the deck of the ship and said.
The blue sea and seabirds flying in the sky.
And a small island not far away.
Beautiful like a peaceful and moving oil painting.
"Are there really mermaids?" Conan Edogawa asked, lying on his side and looking at the sea water below.
The old woman who ate mermaid meat...
If I remember correctly, Tsushima also told himself before that he had eaten mermaid meat.
It was Osamu Dazai who gave it to him.
In the end, I got a tattered body that could vomit blood at any time.
If the old woman really ate mermaid meat and gained eternal life, then why did Tsushima Shuji get a curse?
One of them is lying.
Edogawa Conan thought it was the old woman.
because……
Shuji Tsushima's health is indeed in bad shape.
Every time the blood the other party vomits is real, he hasn't reached the point where he can't even tell the difference between real blood and fake blood.
As for the old woman who was said to have eternal life, he didn't know her, had never seen her, and had never heard of her, so he was skeptical.
"How is it possible that there really is a mermaid? I came to you not because of the mermaid, but because of the letter I received." Hattori Heiji looked around and whispered.
"Letter?" Conan Edogawa looked at the sea, feeling a little melancholy for no reason.
"Although the letter says it is for me, the beginning of the letter is your name, Kudo Shinichi." Hattori Heiji explained.
"Because I felt that the person who wrote the letter might have something to do with you, so I brought you here."
"I'll be nice to you." Hattori Heiji said with a smile.
"It has something to do with me..." Edogawa Conan murmured, lost in thought.
"We're here to relax this time, right?" Tsushima Shuji looked at Hakuba Tan.
"That's what I said..." Baima nodded.
"So if a case occurs, what will a qualified tour group do?" Shuji Tsushima asked with a serious expression.
Bai Ma Tan thought thoughtfully: "Being an audience?"
"That's right! Just be the audience! No matter what case happens on the island, it has nothing to do with us! Remember!" Tsushima Shuji said in a tone of persuading Detective Hakuba.
"But we are detectives..." Detective Bai Ma said hesitantly.
"Hattori-senpai will definitely not want us to steal his case. He paid for all our travel expenses. Are you embarrassed to steal his case?" Shuji Tsushima said in a heartbroken tone.
"...What you said makes sense." Baima Tan nodded.
"So let's just be the audience and be responsible for applauding, and let Hattori-senpai have the spotlight." Shuji Tsushima looked at Hakuba Tan and said with the expression of an elder looking at a junior.
Baima's eyelids twitched.
Pretend you didn't see it.
Toru Amuro and Muya Midorikawa looked at the sea from the railing, although they still wore sunglasses.
"I have been to that island with several other people before." He communicated with Midorikawa Mu.
"How? Did you discover any secrets?" Midorikawa asked curiously.
"I found nothing, just a liar." Toru Amuro sneered.
What an immortal old woman, she's just a swindler.
"That's it..." Midorikawa shook his head and continued to enjoy the scenery.
Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuye were talking about eternal youth.
"Speaking of which, the letter contained the phone number that the person left for me, but when I called him the second time, I couldn't get through," Hattori Heiji said.
Make sure everyone around him can hear what he says.
"The second call couldn't be connected? What about the first call?" Mouri Kogoro asked.
"On the first phone call, no one spoke when I called, and the call was interrupted in the middle of the call." Hattori Heiji said with a deep expression.
"But I still remember clearly the sound of the waves and the faint sound of a woman moaning," he said, recalling the phone call.
"A woman's moan..." Mao Lilan thought thoughtfully.
"The sound of the waves..." Yuan Shan and Ye Man were surprised.
"Could it be that she turned into a mermaid?!" the two said in unison.
"How is that possible?" Mouri Kogoro rolled his eyes.
While everyone was talking, the ship had already approached Mermaid Island.
Everyone followed the crowd and got off the boat.
"Tsushima, what are you going to do?" Hattori Heiji asked hurriedly as he saw several figures walking in a different direction from him as soon as they got off the boat.
"We are a sightseeing group. Of course we want to walk around and relax. You can just investigate the case or something. You will definitely find us after it is over." Shuji Tsushima waved his hand and said with a light smile.
He really has the attitude of a qualified tourist.
"Come on." Hakuba Tanya said to Hattori Heiji.
Tsushima Shuji, Hakuba Tan, Amuro Toru, Midorikawa Mu, turned their backs to Hattori Heiji and others and left.
"They really thought of it as relaxing..." Hattori Heiji looked at the backs of the four people and said weakly.
Who can blame him? This is what he said when he lured these people here.
"Forget it, let's go check out the situation first." Hattori Heiji sighed.
"First go find Miss Menxie Saori who sent me the mail." He said.
It doesn't matter to Mouri Kogoro either.
Anyway, the person who paid for Hattori Heiji's travel expenses was the uncle, who had the final say.
So the two groups parted ways and walked in different directions.
There are many tourists and many shops on Mermaid Island.
The products sold in these stores, without exception, are all related to mermaids.
Mermaid hairpin, mermaid fan, mermaid pendant...
"Would you like a mermaid pendant? This is a must-buy souvenir for every tourist who comes to Mermaid Island." The shop owners greeted the customers on the road.
Shuji Tsushima and others looked around casually, but no one really bought it.
"A must-buy souvenir, do you really not want to buy it?" Shuji Tsushima looked at Hakuba Tan.
"Do you have any desire to buy?" Baima asked.
He has seen countless works of art, most of which are of exquisite craftsmanship and exquisite workmanship.
The workmanship and appearance of these things sold outside are too grape-like, which really makes people have no desire to buy them.
"To be honest, not at all." Shuji Tsushima spread his hands.
He was not interested in so-called mermaids to begin with.
If there was any cursed product, he might buy it without hesitation.
For example, if you get something, you will die suddenly within three days, if you get anything else, your whole family will die tragically...
Such cursed items.
No matter how much it costs, Shuji Tsushima will buy it.
As for the so-called mermaid that symbolizes immortality...
Shuji Tsushima quietly walked away from the store.
It's better to stay away from such terrible things.
"Mr. Amuro and Mr. Midorikawa, is there anything you want to buy? Everything can be reimbursed." Shuji Tsushima said like a good employer.
Toru Amuro and Mu Midorikawa were silent for a moment and shook their heads.
It's not that they want to save money for Shuji Tsushima, but...
These things are very cheap.
It's so cheap that no matter how much they buy, Shuji Tsushima won't care.
And they...
I don't like these things either.
After all, everyone knows it's fake.
If Shuji Tsushima had said that all the items would be reimbursed on another occasion, such as an auction, Toru Amuro would be willing to buy all the goods.
