put on my white vest

The next afternoon.

At the funeral of the first deceased, Sumei, almost all the people on the island came to offer their condolences on time.

And the second deceased on Mermaid Island also appeared outside the mourning hall in a horrifying manner—Naoko who was tied to a fishing net.

The dead body was covered with scattered fish scales, and the neat footprints nearby continued all the way into the sea.

Even though he knew that this was just a trick by the criminal, Hattori, who looked like a fairy in everything, couldn't help but move closer to Tsukishiro Snow Rabbit.

Snow Rabbit touched gently: "What's the matter Heiji, are you scared?"

"Great, this time it's Brother Snow Rabbit..."

Detective Kansai, who finally didn't have to be choked by Yue, breathed a sigh of relief, and then reacted and retorted loudly: "It's not that I'm afraid! I just want to confirm whether it's a mermaid—"

"Mermaid?!"

"What what?!! Heiji, are you saying that it is very likely that the mermaid committed the crime?"

Xiaolan and Heye were obviously taken aback by Hattori's sudden question.

Yuecheng Xuetu hastily comforted the two girls: "No, Heiji only asks this question because he knows that I have been trying to take pictures of mermaids.

Moreover, the fish scales on Ms. Naoko's body and the footprints on the ground are man-made, this time it was not a mermaid who committed the crime. "

The local residents who participated in the funeral chimed in doubt: "Strange little brother... Listening to your tone, you seem to believe that there is a creature like a mermaid, but this time it is not the same as it did."

"That's right, Miss Mermaid is the patron saint, she won't harm humans."

"'she'?"

The resident uncle didn't think much, but there was a hint of sadness in his old smile: "That's right...she must be a kind girl."

The older generations on the island know that the three generations of women in Junhui's family pretended to be long-lived women, just for the inside story of the prosperity of the island.The resident uncle naturally brought this 'she' into Junhui who was like their own granddaughter.

"Brother Xuetu has always used declarative sentences, as if he knew the truth, strange..."

Conan also heard this awkward conversation, and a little thought flashed through his mind, but it was not very clear.

The flash of thought on the background board dedicated to detectives has not been struck for a long time, and the slightly depressed Conan child chooses to go to the place where the body was found to investigate again.

On a dark and windy night, the little detective of the head iron searched all the way along the coastline.

The persistent cloudy weather made the nights on the island much darker than those in the city. The salty sea breeze blew past, and the waves slapped the land with white foam.

Now is the time of high tide, the dilapidated fishing boat is firmly tied to the pier, the numb cabin is pushed a few meters away and pulled back violently, and the smell of rotting fish emanates from the hanging fishing nets.

The dead fish with rolling eyes was floating on the surface of the water, its bulging belly and strange cloudy eyes stared blankly at the shore. Suddenly, a gray crab with eight legs swayed, and its vertically swinging eyeballs burst open the belly of the dead fish. .

The crab bites the greasy viscera, and the bubbles spit out from its mouthparts are blood-colored. After a full meal, it slowly swims to the shore.

Conan shuddered for no reason. It was obviously a natural competition. Seeing it at this moment, he always felt a chill down his spine.

Suddenly, there was an itching and numbness on the soles of his feet stepping on the sand, and he was so startled that he stopped breathing.

I took a few steps back and took a closer look. The pointed nut with a pattern like compound eyes crawled out of the sand, and its shrinking and fat body dragged a long trace on the ground——

No, not just conch!

There are also watery clams, sea prawns with moving tentacles, razor clams sticking out their tongues...even the weird crab has joined the team.

These small but scalp-numbing seafood are densely packed together, and the carapaces collide with each other to make a small 'clack' sound, just like a pile of fresh ants.

They squirmed and spelled out a crooked shape on the beach - [Island Baku].

Shimabukuro?Shimabukuro...Shimabukuro Junhui? !

Conan:? ! !

How is this going?

Conan, who was in shock, witnessed the strange scene, his heavy feet seemed to be fixed in place.

After the wet sea creatures dispersed, he woke up like a dream, and quickly ran to the beach where the traces were still left, and half knelt down to rub the fine sand.

'Slippery touch, no smell...what's going on?Did someone put some kind of chemical that attracts marine life to deliberately create Miss Junhui's name? '

The dazed and confused little detective reluctantly accepted his scientific reasoning, and walked back to the hotel with difficulty.

Conan was frantically thinking about the truth of the incident and the possibility of Ms. Shimabukuro committing the crime in his heart, and then he barely suppressed the memory of the real horror movie and the conch and crab that were running around in his head.

'Paranormal phenomenon?An ocean version of crop circles?Hahahahahahaha...how is it possible...'

Conan cracked a dry smile.

"Mom, did you see it?! I succeeded!!"

The girl with light blue long hair burst into tears with excitement. She sat on the reef of a high cliff and looked at the pale and swaying Edogawa Conan from a distance, weeping with joy and raising her arms.

The girl seemed to have obtained the most memorable memory in the past few years. She jumped up from the boulder, stepped on the tail of the fish, hopped and circled to celebrate.

Yep that's right...fishtail.

The mermaid girl named Coral saw the benefactor standing indifferently with her arms around her chest in a blink of an eye, she wanted to pounce on her with tears all over her face——

"You really are a good person, Yue!!"

"Don't rush over."

"Ah, hi!"

Immediately return to sitting upright, girl.

The girl who flicked her fishtail like a dog hook was quiet for a while, and the uncontrollable desire to talk began to spread again: "By the way, you saw it."

"The Destiny's Child sniffed, sniffed, and pawed at the beach. He obviously felt that someone had set up a trap! I bet he will forget about it within three incidents!"

"Three incidents?"

The magician stroked his forehead helplessly, didn't he need to count the number of days... See how he forced the child?

Mentioning this, Coral looked aggrieved: "Yes, yes, it's all because the sons of the world bother the adults in the time department every day!"

If Coral is a small Party A that only accounts for a small share of the joint investment, then the few high-ranking gods are the big Party A for this mission, and the contractors are also interested in it.

"Tell me?"

"Okay, then come to my Pearl Bubble Glazed Colored Flower Painting Dance Dragon Palace as a guest!!"

Pearl Bubbles... what? ?

The white-haired magician was strangely silent for a while, and then continued as if nothing had happened: "Let's just go to the seaside, and don't run so far at night."

It turns out that the gods of this world really follow the style of Sailor Moon...

"There are quite a few of us."

Coral's tail slapped the waves, and the energetic girl said so.

"But some time ago... I can't count how long it was, many powerful gods were summoned to Tokyo, it is said that there was a long-term urgent mission there.

It turned out that this island was the territory of my mother, and after that, I was the only one left. "

"When my mother wrote to me, she mentioned that she often has to work overtime now! Either to help carry the cruise ship that is about to sink, or to let the pirate ship in the cave rise to the surface without falling apart."

"But she is not the hardest one. The adults in charge of the sky need to be on call at all times. Bullets, skateboards, football, hang glider, you have to watch every day!" [Note]

"But but..."

Coral looked like a gossip girl, and lowered her volume mysteriously: "Let me tell you, Yue, they are all spreading the word, and the busiest ones are those who are in charge of time and death, because they work overtime every day. Extremely irritable!"

"Our work regulations stipulate that you cannot appear in front of Destiny's Child, so those honorable lords invited you to help!"

"If I stay by your side, even I can use my power in front of that guy for a while!"

As she spoke, the mermaid girl fell into the ecstasy of seeing Conan's blue face again.

Her crazy posture is as if she has received a salary slip and a retirement notice that the will of the world never issues...

Miserable, so miserable.

……

Lian Hechuan stared out a pair of dead fish eyes halfway when he heard it, so it turned out——

Party A of this mission...these are the gods who are furious because of overtime work, and the work results are simply summarized as "Ke Xue", so they go crazy and furious.

When he took the task in the system space, he had a little guess. It is probably the local god of this world that he can make such a precise bug to let the dark power take advantage of the loophole and ignore it.

Because civil servants in the system stipulate that supernatural powers cannot appear in front of ordinary people, they can only entrust the unsupervised Party B to play tricks on Edogawa Conan, the son of the world.

What is this, the revenge of the workers...?

The white-haired magician turned back into the appearance of the Moon City Snow Rabbit. He patted the girl's head sympathetically, then took out his camera and invited, "I'm going to clean up tomorrow, do you want to come together?"

Don't worry, I'm also a worker, I will fulfill your commission well!

Saying goodbye to the mermaid girl Coral, the gray-haired youth Yuecheng Xuetu returned to the hotel.

"Really, where did you go when we were solving the case, you bastard!" The drunk uncle Maori complained, shaking his fist.

The gray-haired young man clasped his hands together: "Sorry, sorry, I went to the south coast to shoot."

Conan, who really wanted to solve the case, was full of black lines: Hey, hey, a drunk guy at someone else's funeral is not qualified to solve the case.

Hattori moved to Xuetu when no one was paying attention, and asked quietly: "Have you found Brother Xuetu?"

"Well, I'm ready to do it. So today I need to say hello to Miss Mermaid, the patron saint here."

"people--?!"

Afraid of shocking Xiaolan and Ye, Hattori could only swallow the shock: "So it really exists?!"

Moon City Snow Rabbit smiled slightly: "Of course, they will bless the passing ships, but they never show up in front of humans. There have been no shipwrecks on the nearby islands for decades."

Hattori was shocked when he heard this: "Wait, there have been no shipwrecks in decades?"

"Yes," the gray-haired young man explained while holding the camera, "The job of the gods is to bless the believers within the domain."

Hattori looked in the direction of the shrine in a daze: "Then—" Ms. Jun Hui who claimed that her mother died in a shipwreck, in the end...

The detective's instinct made him gradually think about the truth that he didn't want to accept.

The contractor nodded in satisfaction when he saw this: Edogawa Conan has some metaphysical spoilers, how can he have less Hattori Heiji!

A good detective story, suddenly turned into a magical solution under the blessing of two wicked non-human beings.

Yuecheng Xuetu, who has no guilt about spoilers, walked up to Mao Lilan, and he took out a bag full of conch, shells and small crabs.

"That's right! I just found these during filming, you can add some ginger and scallions and fry them for supper!"

Uncle Mao Li said excitedly: "Oh! Just bring it to drink!"

Conan glanced at the transparent plastic bag, the crab's slender half-dead legs were still entangled with the psychedelic nuts, recalling the scene just now, the little detective just glanced at it, and instantly his face turned black and his stomach twitched.

Xiaolan was concerned: "Conan, what's wrong?"

"No, no..."

The Shinigami elementary school student's answer was feeble, but he would never be able to tell the story of 'being scared by a group of seafood', unless he wanted to be ridiculed by his friend Hattori Heiji for the rest of his life.

Snow Rabbit tilted his head and smiled, and lilies that lingered in black air seemed to bloom in the background board: "Maybe you are hungry at night, so you should eat more, Conan-kun!"

Xiaolan said embarrassedly: "That's troublesome. Conan, don't disappoint others' kindness, remember to eat more!"
