On the shore, a young man dressed in black sits on a large reef and looks out at the gloomy sea in the distance.

A flock of seagulls circled nearby, and from time to time one or two flew in from a distance, chirping and landing beside the man.

"I guess it's not going to rain."

"Didn't find anyone over there? Never mind. ”

"I don't have a place to live there."

"Yes, on a large island on the other side of the sea......"

"Have you been living here?"

"Come here when it's cold?"

"Has a man dressed in black and with long silver hair been here before?"

"Hmm...... It's really a guy who doesn't look like a good guy. ”

"At that time......

The man's expression was cold, and there was no emotion in his eyes when he looked at the drowsy sea, and he whispered softly...... It's like a snake spirit muttering to the sea.

Another seagull flew over and landed beside Chi Feichi, chirping twice.

"Found it? What about bugging and transmitters? ”

The seagulls chirped in a long voice, looking a little eerie in the drowsy sky.

Chi Feichi took the laptop that was placed aside, put it on his lap, and turned it on.

At the same time, I made a call on my mobile phone.

"It's me, I'm here."

On the other side of the phone, Gin asked directly, "Did you find someone?" ”

"I found it, I brought an assistant, both of them were wearing masks and scarves, and sticking fake beards, it's really not easy to find," Chi Feichi held the mobile phone in his left hand, linked a long box-shaped listening device to the computer with his right hand, and controlled the laptop to open a software, "The transmitter has been put in his travel bag, in addition, I glued the bugging device to the window of his room, and I will automatically record the specific eavesdropping situation with the software in the computer, and then upload it to you from the network......"

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a while, and there was a faint sound of keystrokes.

"I see, I'm sorry for you."

"It's fine."

Hanging up the phone, Chi Feichi also used the computer to play the movement on the eavesdropper.

"Mr. Yoshimoto, if someone else finds out, I'm afraid they will say that you are too superstitious......"

"That's just an attack method for the opponent, don't take it personally, if someone else finds out, just say that we are here to investigate the environment of the American Island, and we plan to invest in a school here, what does the shrine say?"

"Miss Miko said that they won't sell dugong arrows privately, please draw them according to the rules, and if you don't win the lottery, you can buy them from the person who won the lottery at that time, Mr. Yoshimoto, in fact, even if you give the dugong arrows to Mitsui-sen, his health may not be better......"

"Whether it's useful or not, just let him see my mind......"

Chi Feichi pressed pause playback, and the recording continued.

If you look at it this way, Yoshimoto Eiyu came to Mermaid Island to curry favor with someone, wanting to get a dugong arrow.

As for why he acted secretly from the organization, he couldn't judge, maybe he felt that his wings were stiff and wanted to fly away from the organization by himself, and whether he needed to clear it was up to Gin, and he didn't need to worry about it.

Looking at the battery level, there is still 99%.

This laptop was also assembled with the help of Dr. Asasa, and it has also been strengthened in terms of battery life, although it is very power-hungry to run the recording and transmission software in the background, but it can last for about five or six hours.

Chi Feichi sat and talked with the seagull for a while, and not long after, he received a call from Hattori Heiji.

"Brother Feichi, the people in the village said that Saori Kadowaki disappeared three days ago, and some people in the village said that she might have taken a boat to the island, but if that letter for help is not a prank, she is afraid that she will be less lucky, and we are now going to go to the specialty shop where she works on the corner of the street, if you want to come over, you can go directly here."

"yes, got it."

Chi Feichi hung up the phone, got up and put the computer in his bag, and said to a group of seagulls, "I'll go back first." ”

The seagulls without spirituality accounted for the majority, and there was no response to what they said, just following the call of their companions.

But a seagull flapped its wings and began a nasty spoiler behavior.

"By the way, the longevity woman on the island is pretending to be a witch lady, and that festival event is useless!"

"No, no, the former longevity woman was a ...... pretended to be Miss Shrine Maiden's mother"

"Miss Shrine Maiden's mother was killed by her friends, and her friends thought that the longevity woman was real, and wanted to attack her mother for the sake of immortality, but her mother was locked up in a warehouse and burned to death."

"Yes, that was three years ago, and there was a big fire in the warehouse, and we all went over to take a sneak peek......"

Chi Feichi: "......"

Originally, he remembered this case and lacked interest in the investigation, but this group of seagulls still had to remind him......

Nasty spoilers.

……

Before going to find someone else to meet, Chi Fei went to Kadowaki Saori's house late.

If you actively agreed to come over before, and then become a salted fish after coming, you will be suspected by Conan and Hattori Heiji that you are coming for something else.

So no matter how uninterested he is in the investigation, he has to make a show.

There was a knock on the door, and the man who opened the door was full of alcohol, staring at Chi Feichi with red squinting eyes, as if he was recognizing, and said after a while, "Who are you?" It can't be the man Saori Nano is looking for outside, right? ”

"Hello, I'm just a friend she met in Tokyo," Chi Feichi handed over the wine he bought in his hand and said in an indifferent tone, "I came to Mermaid Island to attend the festival this time, and I want to visit her by the way, is she at home?" ”

Kadowaki Benzo felt frozen by the cold air, sobered up a lot, looked at the wine he was holding in his hand, and just wanted to enthusiastically pull Chi Feichi in, but when he raised his eyes, he saw that Chi Feichi was dressed in black and had a calm and gloomy temperament, so he gave up, got out of the way at the door, and said with a smile, "Please come in and sit down, Saori's child is not at home, she went out four or five days ago and hasn't come back, but I see that she is about to go home......"

Chi Feichi stared at Benzo Mowaki, "Do you know where she went?" ”

Listening to Chi Feichi's polite words, Kadowaki Benzo still felt quite cold around him, and said with a dry smile, "I don't know, she can't stay in this child since she was a child, and she likes to run around......"

Chi Feichi glanced at the room, the curtains were drawn, it was very dim, the ground was a little messy, and there was a strong smell of tobacco and alcohol, "Since she is not here, then I will come to visit tomorrow." ”

Seeing that the other party turned around and left, Kadowaki Benzo was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't know whether to regret or breathe a sigh of relief.

Forget it, it's okay to go, he drinks and goes.

After Chi Feichi left, he inquired about Saori Modowaki with the people around him, and after receiving a call from Hattori Heiji, he went to the shrine to find a group of people to meet.

After Chi Fei entered the shrine, he saw Hattori Heiji and his party standing with the girl in the witch costume at a glance, and walked over.

"My grandmother's age?" The shrine maiden Shimabukuro Kimie held the imperial coin used by the shrine maiden to pray and clean in her hand, and her voice was gentle and serious, "Actually, no one says that she is 200 years old, she just turned 130 years old this year, as long as you go to the household registration office to check, you will know, she just lives a little longer than others, and it causes such a big commotion." ”

"Of course......" Moriran Khan.

Maori Kogoro also said, "Being able to live to be 130 years old is already a sensational thing in itself......

Chi Feichi walked behind a few people and asked loudly, "Are you investigating, or are you gossiping?" ”

"Uh, Brother Feichi, you're here......" Hattori Heiji sweated, and forcibly defended, "The investigation should also be gradual!" ”

"That ......" Toyama Kazuha couldn't help but ask, "What about your grandmother?" ”

Shimabukuro Junhui looked at Chi Feichi curiously, and then said to Yuanshan and Ye Dao, "She is in the room now, preparing to give magic power to those three arrows that will be given to people in a while." ”

"So, did that old woman really eat mermaid meat?" Mori Kogoro couldn't help but lean closer and asked.

Hattori Heiji has a black line: "......"

Well, he admits that Chi Fei didn't talk nonsense, so looking at it, they still look like they're gossiping......

"Huh?" Shimabukuro Kimihui was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing, "Hahahahaha...... How can there be a mermaid in this world...... That's a lie! ”

"Huh?" Mori Kogoro was stunned by Shimabukuro's laughter, "But, it's the 'Dugong Arrow'......"

Kimie Shimabukuro stopped laughing and explained seriously, "My deceased mother said that the arrow was originally supposed to represent the arrow of the forbidden spell that carried out the exorcism and ward off evil spirits, but later because my grandmother lived a very long life, the people on the island related it to the mermaid, and changed it into a dugong that inhabits the sea without authorization, and passed it on as a dugong arrow......"

"So your mother has passed away." Maolilan said softly.

Hattori Heiji noticed that Chi Fei Chi was looking at him, and squatted down speechlessly, reaching out to scratch his hair.

Well, well, he admitted, they were just here to gossip.

"Yes, she and her father died in the sea five years ago," said Shimabukuro, "and even my grandparents were lost when I went out to sea on a boat before I was born." ”

"Your family all died at sea?" Yuanshan and Ye couldn't help but say, "Could there be something you don't know?" For example, if you eat mermaid meat, you will be cursed or something? ”

"Impossible!" Kimie Shimabukuro smiled, "I've been to the island by boat with Saori before, but nothing happened. ”

Heiji Hattori stood up all of a sudden and asked, "You went with Saori-sama to talk about the island?" When? ”

"Just four days ago......," Kimie Shimabukuro said, "I said I was going to the dentist, so she went with me because there are no dentists on this island." ”

"At that time, was Saori's emotional state stable?" Mori Kogoro asked.

Kimie Shimabukuro recalled, "Saori was scared because she lost the dugong arrow, and asked me to ask my grandmother if there was a way, and even if I told her that the curse was fake, she still didn't believe it, and kept saying that she must have been cursed by mermaids...... Probably because when I handed over the Dugong Arrow, I would tell them the legend. ”

"Oh?" Mori Kogoro looked at Kimie Shimabukuro inquiringly.

Shimabukuro Kimie lowered her head, "I'm worried that people who ask for arrows will come and complain because they don't live long, so when I give them arrows, I tell them that if they lose their arrows or don't believe in the power of arrows, the merfolk will come to disaster...... Actually, there is no such thing at all. ”

"Junhui, you're so stupid!" A woman in a purple dress stepped forward, "You say that because you don't understand the power of fate. ”

Kimie Shimabukuro turned her head in surprise, "Shoumi ......"

Chi Feichi raised his eyes and looked at the environment of the shrine.

Destiny is an honorific title for a god or nobleman.

He really didn't notice anything different here, though.
