Traveling through Conan: Buying Poirot Cafe at the beginning

Kogoro frowned, took out the cigarette again, covered the lighter with his windbreaker, and finally lit the cigarette.

"Hey, let me ask you, is it possible that your client wants you to find that mermaid?"

Hattori shook his head slightly and held his chin with one hand.

"No, there are only two sentences written on the commission letter. It seems to have been written in a hurry. The content is: The mermaid is about to be killed. Please come and save the mermaid."

Kogoro's eyes widened, his mouth opened slightly, and the cigarette slipped down.

"You mean mermaid? About to be killed?"

Conan lay on the fence and yawned out of boredom, as if he was not interested in it.

Hattori leaned down and whispered in Conan's ear:

"What are you doing? Can you listen carefully?"

Conan rolled his eyes and said disdainfully: "Come on, the mermaid is a mythical figure. Only a fool would believe it."

Conan is a realist and believes in science. He will never believe in ghosts and gods.

"Actually, I don't really believe in the idea of ​​mermaids, but I am very curious about the letter the client sent me. Although my name is written on the letter, the words Kudo Shinichi are written on the outside of the letter. "

Conan looked at Hattori in confusion and said softly.

"Why don't you thank me quickly? When I thought that this guy has something to do with you, I went all the way to Mihua to invite this confused uncle."

Hattori also rolled his eyes at Conan, not appreciating your kindness.

"Specially? Then please explain, what's going on with Yang Ming? Why did you call him over? Do you not believe me?"

Conan is still dissatisfied with Yang Ming and doesn't believe that he is so far behind Yang Ming, so he always wants to surpass him in some way.

"Okay, I brought him here because he was too annoyed by Pramya recently. I didn't tell him about it."

Conan was obviously not satisfied with this answer, and Maori next to him asked again:

"Have you contacted your client before?"

Hattori turned around and responded.

"Well, the person who sent us the letter is called Monkyo Saori. When we contacted him for the first time, he was cut off immediately before he could speak. What could be heard was the sound of waves coming from the other end of the phone. "

"In addition to the sound of the waves, there was also the moaning of a woman. But the second time I tried to contact her, I couldn't."

Kogoro and Conan both looked at Hattori with serious faces, and Hattori also had an expression of reminiscence on his face.

Xiaolan and Kazuye, who were listening on the sidelines, murmured: "Is it possible that she turned into a mermaid?"

The cruise ship docked soon, and everyone started to pack their luggage and get off the ship. Yang Ming looked at the island, and for some reason he always had an ominous premonition.

It's like the weather is too yin-yin and suddenly changes color when it comes to matching. There are dark clouds in the sky now, and it looks like they want to rain.

Everyone came to the tourist center, and Kogoro stepped forward to ask about the news about Monkyo Saori.

"What? You said that Menkyo Saori is missing now?"

There was an older-looking man at the front desk. He said to Kogoro:

"Yes, she didn't go to work three days ago."

Hattori held his chin with one hand and murmured: "Three days ago? It was exactly when that letter was sent to my house."

"However, those of us who are neighbors are wondering whether she will take a boat to the mainland."

The receptionist said with a smile that he didn't know the seriousness of the matter yet. Standing in front of you are the three life-threatening ghosts and gods of neon!

"Ah! Sorry, sir, I'm off work."

The cell phone at the front desk rang, seemingly an alarm clock. The receptionist immediately put away his smile, put down the things in his hands, and left work gracefully.

Several people looked at the front desk who left speechlessly. They could only find a place to stay now.

After everyone arrived at the hotel, they simply packed up and got ready to go out for fun.

"Look, there is a shop selling local specialties over there." Xiaolan's eyes were still sharp.

"Then why don't we go over and have a look?" Yang Ming was also interested in this place.

So, everyone came to this store.

"Wow, here are mermaid hairpins and teacups with mermaids printed on them. There are also dugong pies. This is the first time I have seen so many mermaid-related things."

Yang Ming held the hairpin and couldn't help but sigh, this island seems to like mermaids very much.

Kazuha asked Hattori his question in a low voice.

"Hey Hattori, what does dugong mean?"

"You said dugong is actually a mammal that lives in the ocean. Since ancient times, people have compared dugong meat to a symbol of immortality."

Kogoro walked up to the clerk, took a windproof lighter, and prepared to pay. Let's get some information.

"Ah? What is the Dugong Sword you are talking about?"

The clerk seemed to be tourists from out of town and was very patient in explaining.

"The so-called Dugong Sword is what will be awarded to the villagers at the Dugong Festival tonight. If you get the Dugong Sword, you will be blessed and you will live forever."

"Saori accidentally lost her dugong sword at the last dugong celebration, so she was very scared some time ago. She was afraid that the mermaid would seek revenge on her."

Kogoro took a windproof lighter and blew air into its flame to test the performance of the lighter.

"There are no mermaids in this world." Yang Ming shrugged and said indifferently.

"There are indeed mermaids in the world." At the door of the souvenir shop, a woman wearing dark blue work clothes said, attracting everyone's attention.

The boss was surprised and said: "Why is it you, Naoko?"

"Because there is a case in this world where people became immortal after eating mermaid meat."

Yang Ming frowned, knowing that today would definitely not be that simple.

"The Dugong Sword drawn by that Dugong woman using her mind power will allow those who get it to realize their dreams."

"Saori lost such an important thing and fled the island out of fear of the mermaid's revenge. This is only human nature."

After Naoko finished speaking, she went out to work again.

Kogoro asked the store manager: "Who is she?"

The store manager was very polite and explained to everyone: "Naoko, she is a good friend who grew up with Saori."

"So that's it. Who is the longevity woman she was talking about?"

"This is the symbol of our island, the old lady who claims to have lived two hundred years."

"Two hundred years old?"

Everyone looked at the store manager in surprise, unable to believe that someone could live to be two hundred years old.

With surprise, Yang Ming and his party left the souvenir shop.

Yang Ming stood behind a few people, feeling that things were not as simple as he thought.

"Ahem, I am the Persuasion Department, are you hiding something from me?"

Hattori was stunned and laughed twice awkwardly.

"Ah? Is there any? It's okay."

Kogoro frowned, without thinking much, and asked: "What? You didn't tell Yang Ming that the purpose of our coming was for a commission?"

There were two drops of sweat on Hattori Heiji's forehead, which he secretly thought was not good.

Yang Ming:? ? ?

"Okay, I knew you didn't have good intentions. Any time you came out to relax was a lie! I want to go home!"

Yang Ming was very dissatisfied when he learned that he had been deceived. He felt something was wrong while on the cruise. Now I remember everything about this case.

This is also a very famous episode of Conan, but I didn't expect to be encountered by him in this form.

"I'm sorry, there is no more cruise ship to go back to. Okay, I think you should just settle down and take care of yourself now that you're here. My uncle and I will be busy solving the case, and you can have a pleasant trip."

Hattori poked Yang Ming with his elbow. Yang Ming sighed, knowing that he had no choice but to take one step at a time.

If he had known that he would encounter such trouble, he would not have come.
