"Passengers, after a long-distance flight, everyone has worked hard, this plane is about to arrive at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, the local temperature is 32 degrees, the weather is ...... sunny"

Shanghai Hongqiao, when the international flight arrived at the exit, Gao Cheng's eyes kept glancing at the Maori uncle who kept yawning before getting off the plane.

Why is this guy here too? On the plane, because he was in first class with Yuanzi, he didn't notice it at all.

"By the way, what about Conan?" Gao Cheng asked.

Conan's guy is a black household, and if he wants to go abroad, he can only change back to Kudo Shinichi, which I'm afraid he can't pass the Xiao Ai level.

"Conan didn't come when he said he was going camping, and the doctor promised to take care of him for a few days," Xiaolan said excitedly as she walked around, "Is this Shanghai?" A lot of Chinese characters. ”

"Hmph," Maori Kogoro had been to Shanghai before, but he was not very excited, and he didn't have the good luck to remind Gao Cheng a few ways, "Follow me when you go out, don't run around, this is not Tokyo, and there are city boys, Chinese law prohibits private detectives, don't go around saying that you are a detective." ”

Gao Cheng looked at the uncle who looked like a person who had come over and didn't speak.

Who of these people knows Shanghai better than him?

Although the time of this world is a little earlier, it is only a few years apart.

"Ahem, don't look at it, go this way."

The uncle finally found a sense of existence, took Gao Cheng a few out of the station and familiarly found a rental, said two sentences in broken Chinese and showed the address provided by a friend in the garden to the driver.

"District...... Here, Keyiba? ”

"Yes."

Gao Cheng couldn't bear to hit the uncle with a refreshing expression, and silently followed behind to get into the car, but fortunately, the driver had come into contact with many foreign tourists, and he didn't feel strange, so he drove away from the airport directly.

"You're going to the Bund Theater to see a mermaid show, right?" The driver said, "I've also seen one, it's really good, it's a pity." ”

The uncle didn't understand, but he also had his own way: "Yes, yes." ”

Yuanzi's friend is a student from Japan, currently working in the Yang Acrobatic Troupe for summer work, and the address left for the garden is also the place where the acrobatic troupe performs, a big ship on the Huangpu River that has been transformed into a theater.

The Bund Theatre.

Because the time is still early, Gao Cheng and his party looked a little deserted when they came, I don't know if it was an illusion, the theater ship docked on the shore, although quite spectacular, always has a sense of weirdness.

Wait, Shanghai, mermaid...... Isn't it a case in the Kaneda series?

Gao Cheng scratched his hair.

I don't think I should have come......

"That's where we live?" Uncle Maori put down his luggage in disappointment and looked around, when he was on the way, he thought he would stay in a high-end hotel or something, but it turned out to be a broken ship, which was too far from the bungalows on the Bund with their own characteristics.

"Dad, it's a shame." Xiaolan's face flushed.

"Of course not, uncle," said Miss Nishimura, who would help us find a hotel. ”

"Garden!"

As he was talking, a girl ran out of the boat, and when she saw everyone, she greeted happily: "I thought you would come over tomorrow, why don't you call in advance?" ”

Yuanzi also waved his hand to greet the girl, and introduced Gao Cheng a few times: "This is my boyfriend Ah Cheng, here is Xiaolan and her father Uncle Maori, my uncle is very familiar with Shanghai, so I came along." ”

"Hello." Gao Cheng shook hands with the girl.

A very delicate girl, but slightly older, looking about 20 years old.

When I found a good hotel to check in and returned to the Yang's Acrobatic Troupe ship, it was already evening, and the Bund Theater was finally lively, and it seemed to be very popular, but most of them were tourists from other places, and the locals seemed to be afraid of something.

"A week ago," Nishimura Shiho didn't hide it, and his expression was not very good-looking, "Head Yang was shot dead, and the murderer has not been found until now, so ......"

"Shooting?"

The atmosphere suddenly cooled, and everyone seemed to be isolated from the noisy theater, divided into two worlds.

"Didn't that the day I contacted you a week ago?" The garden said.

"That night," Shiho Nishimura led everyone into his cabin room from the other side, "and after the performance, the head of the troupe was found dead in his room, with a mask on his face, and for some reason, one ear was cut off, and his body was still wet with goldfish water. ”

"It's horrible."

Yuan Zi and Xiaolan were a little afraid to listen to it anymore, but fortunately, Nishimura Shiho still had to work, so he hurriedly went to the dressing room again to put on makeup for the acrobatic troupe actors.

"I'll go over first, and you can go directly to the show later."

"Are you friends with Miss Nishimura?" A teenager asked in Chinese, felt that it seemed inappropriate, shook his head and followed out of the cabin.

The theater is located in a large house on the deck, and unlike the slightly dilapidated hull and cramped cabins, the stage is decorated in style.

When Gao Cheng went from the cabin to the theater, he took a special look at the backstage, and there were a lot of costumes hanging in the aisle, because the light was dim and it looked particularly terrifying, and there seemed to be a devouring demon in the depths.

He had been thinking just now that there were several versions of the mermaid incident in Jintian, and he didn't know which one he encountered this time, but someone died a week ago.

Professional habits make him eager to gather information as soon as possible.

Although he didn't know the specific circumstances of the case, he vaguely remembered that no matter which version of the mermaid incident it was, it was a serial murder case.

The key word is "revenge", which is related to a case in Japan many years ago.

On the surface, it is an acrobatic troupe, but secretly it is a smuggling and theft gang......

"There are threatening letters again," someone in the background panicked, "there will be summer after spring...... Sure enough, it's Silan, Silan turned into a mermaid and came back for revenge! ”

"Shut up!"

"The mask worn by the head of the regiment is Haru, and now all the other masks are gone......"

"Silan has long been dead!"

"Stop talking nonsense," a man in a suit shouted, "hurry up and get ready, the show will start soon!" ”

"Ah Cheng?" The garden came back and urged, "What are you doing?" Uncle has gone to take his place. ”

"Uh-oh."

Gao Cheng followed the garden absentmindedly.

I thought I would have a good time when I went back to Shanghai, but this world is not an ordinary world at all, and the possibility of being involved in the case is getting bigger and bigger.

Maybe because of the threatening letter, before the performance was watched, several policemen came in through the entrance, secretly vigilant about something, and Gao Cheng, who was sitting in the back row, vaguely heard talking about the murder weapon.

After the incident, the police believed that the pistol used as the murder weapon was thrown into the Huangpu River, but it has not been found in the river until today.

In the cabin, in the consultant room of the acrobatic troupe, Sousuke Fujido, the man in the suit who had lost his temper in the background just now, still had a very ugly face, and even sweated.

"Are you really going to perform today?" A beautifully dressed foreign woman entered the room by herself and sat down opposite the vine hall, "The police are here again, what if they find out about Silan?" And the curse of the fishman, Silan may want to kill me......"

"Hmph, what fish-man curse? Someone must be playing tricks in the group! Fujido took a vicious puff on his cigarette, "By the way, what happened to those people just now?" The pony-tailed boy looked familiar......"

"I said that I was a friend of the West Village, and I came to play for two days," the foreign woman didn't care much about Gao Cheng and his party, and still said uncertainly, "No, I won't act today, you can find someone else." ”
