"Heard of what? Should this matter be understood? ”

"Of course! Since you haven't heard it from the locals, let me tell you about it! Something happened on the beach at the restaurant next to us! ”

"Something happened?"

"Hmmm! Just a year ago, a long-haired woman with dyed hair was stabbed in the abdomen in a messy murder incident! ”

"Huh? Killings? ”

"Hmmm! The woman was killed on the way to the restaurant, and there were no witnesses, and it is still a headless case! I heard that the police also have a bad headache! However, it has been more than a year since the murder happened, and tourists have long forgotten what happened back then, and the restaurant has returned to its former prosperity. But I heard that the woman likes the restaurant very much, and now she occasionally goes there! ”

"Huh? Right now? Doesn't that mean ......"

"That's right! Reputedly! If you're taking photos in that restaurant right now, you'll sometimes find a strange ghost with a ruptured abdomen and guts coming out! ”

"This ...... No way? That restaurant is haunted? ”

"Hahaha! Who knows? People say that, that's why I asked you to bring your camera with you! Maybe we'll be able to take a picture of a female ghost by then! ”

"Huh? If you say that, Xiaolan, how about it? I probably have about 10 negatives left to shoot, should I try it? Maybe I'll show Shinichi what else I'll find when I'm done! ”

"Huh? No way! Absolutely not! ”

"Why? Oh! I remembered, are you afraid that those beautiful photos in it will be seen by him? ”

"Not really! What's the use of showing him that kind of photo that I don't know whose it is? ”

"Huh! I guess with his reasoning skills, who is that seductive buttocks, he should be able to see through it immediately, right? Otherwise, then he doesn't deserve to be praised by so many newspaper reports, why is it Sherlock Holmes in the Heisei era! ”

"Huh? What reasoning skills? What Sherlock Holmes? What's going on with the incense ** piece? ”

Masahiko Michiwaki, who was originally sitting on the sidelines watching the garden and Xiaolan chatting quietly, asked seemingly casually after his eyes moved.

"Ahh Michiwaki senior! There's nothing left, it's just that her boyfriend is a detective who is a little famous! ”

"Oh? Detective, that's really ......."

"Boom!"

"Long waiting! Your fried noodles! By the way, there are still a lot of guests waiting for you, so please eat quickly! ”

"Huh? Oh! I'm grumpy! What kind of clerk is this? Garden! Don't pull me! I'm going to have to teach him a lesson today! ”

"Forget it! Never mind! Just have a meal! Mr. Michiwaki doesn't have to care! Anyway, there is no shortage of business in restaurants near such tourist attractions now, and it is normal for the store to bully customers! Let's just eat and go! ”

"That's right! Let's not go to the restaurant I just mentioned, right? It's terrifying! ”

Hearing Xiaolan and Yuanzi's soft persuasion, Michiwaki Masahiko seemed to endure this breath, and after giving everyone a copy of the fried noodles that the waiter smashed on the table, he explained to Xiaolan and Yuanzi with a smile.

"Don't worry! That's just a rumor! And it's been more than a year! No matter how much the murdered woman liked that restaurant, she should be bored there, right? ”

"Is that so?"

"Of course! I, Masahiko Michiwaki, never lies! Especially my angels! ”

"Hey! Have you heard about it, but found it again in the woods next to the railway! ”

"What?"

"Corpses! What else could it be but a corpse? Woman with dyed hair, broken corpse! A mess with a stab in the abdomen! ”

"Huh? It's true? Walk! Let's take a look! ”

Just as Masahiko Michiwaki and Sonoko were beeping, suddenly a person ran back from outside from the adjacent table behind them, and then they chatted with excitement on their faces.

"This ...... Hahaha! Blunder! Blunder! Why don't we go over and have a look? ”

Hearing this discussion, Michiwaki Masahiko looked at Xiaolan and Yuanzi with strange faces, smiled awkwardly, and then grinned and changed the topic.

"Poof! Hahaha! Mr. Michiwaki! You're so funny! Well, since everyone has gone to see it, let's go check it out! ”

Xiaolan, who knew that Conan liked these cases very much, smiled kindly, and after breaking the embarrassment of Masahiko Michiwaki, he walked towards the outside of the restaurant with the garden, and the obstructive duo at the other table, who had just been taken away by Judy with a head hammer, had already disappeared from the table at this moment.

"The estimated time of death was between eight and nine o'clock last night, the identity of the deceased is temporarily unknown, the surrounding residents do not know, it is suspected that tourists who came to play, and there are traces of perm in their hair! And this is the place where the incident happened, Officer Henggou! I can't help but think of that headless case a year ago! ”

"Hmmm! Judging from the current scene, it does have something to do with the case a year ago, but we can't just arbitrarily combine it with the case a year ago, the most important thing now is to find out the identity of the deceased! ”

"Yes!"

"Eight to nine? Wasn't that after yesterday's fireworks display? And this place, when we passed by here yesterday, it seems to be about this time, right? Could it be that yesterday there was a murder right under our noses? ”

"Damn! I didn't find it! Otherwise, I won't let the murderer go! ”

"Alright, don't talk about these useless things! Since Officer Henggou is here to organize and solve the case, then let's not go over and cause trouble! You know, we're on vacation, so can you put away your curiosity? My Great Detective! Don't get me in trouble! Walk! Let's go back and continue to interrogate that Michiwaki Masahiko, I always think it's a problem for him to get close to the garden! ”

"But ......"

"That's it! Don't be! Walk! ”

Seeing this scene, Yuichi immediately reacted that it was Conan's Grim Reaper buff that took effect, and immediately carried him out of the scene of the crime, he didn't want to ruin his and Judy's wonderful vacation again. This is Izu, and there is a Yokomizo police officer in charge! He Kudo Yuichi is not the savior of the island country, and he will turn around without the island country, so for this kind of case that is not within the scope of his work, as long as he doesn't provoke himself, he can hide as far as he can, after all, he is a person who is very afraid of trouble.

However, just as Yuichi and the others turned to leave, the garden that followed Xiaolan to the scene on the other side was frightened.

"Xiaolan! It's terrifying! We also walked this road yesterday! And I've dyed my hair, too, if the killer had set his sights on me last night, then...... It's horrible! No! I definitely don't want to die in a place like this! I still have so much to do! ”

"Garden...... It's okay, don't forget that we still have ......."

"That's right! Don't forget that you still have me! During this time in Izu, I will protect you! ”

Looking at Masahiko Michiwaki with a sunny smile on his face in front of him, Sonoko wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and nodded heavily.

Looking at the garden in front of him, who was moved by himself, Michiwaki Masahiko gently put his hand on the shoulders of the garden, and comforted him softly.

"It seems that dinner is better to move somewhere else, I'll pick you up at about seven o'clock, you must meet me at the gate!" Or I'll get lost! Hahaha! ”

"Hmmm! We're waiting for you, Michiwaki senior! I don't have that camera with me! ”

"Yes!"

While they were having a good conversation, a mysterious man who seemed to be following them casually pulled the brim of his hat and turned away. It doesn't seem that simple......
