On the second day, according to the agreement, when Gao Yuan and Xiao Ai had not yet gone out, Koshisui Nanatsuki, who lived in the opposite room, came forward and knocked on the door of Gao Yuan's room, ready to come and ask Gao Yuan to set off, and by the way, discuss where to go on the island to investigate today.

But in this regard, Takato didn't rush to go out to the island to investigate immediately, but waited for Hattori Heiji, Toyama and Ye next door, and prepared to go with them first, to Mr. Kohama's diving equipment shop not far from the pier-

Since Hattori Heiji is going to dive near the underwater ruins again, if you want to dive, you still have to go to the dive shop to rent diving equipment.

And because of last night's discussion, there are some things about the underwater ruins, and Takato also plans to learn from Mr. Kohama, who is familiar with the waters around this island, so Takato is ready to follow Hattori Heiji and them first, and go to the dive shop to find Mr. Kohama first.

So,For this,Koshisui Nanatsuki also agreed,Anyway, it's more or less helpful to the investigation of the incident.,So it's okay to wait a little longer.。

Later, after the next door Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuya were ready to travel, Takato, Koai, Koshisui Nanatsuki, Hattori Heiji, and Toyama Kazuha set off from the hotel together and arrived at the dive shop near the dock on the island.

And there, everyone saw that Shi Jin Runya was already there, and at this time, he had all changed into diving suits-

"Oh? You're going to dive too, huh? ”

In this regard, seeing Tokitsu Junya's outfit, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but say with some surprise, as if he didn't expect this young high school detective to dive.

"Hey, won't you still be able to learn?"

Listening to Hattori Heiji's inquiry, Tokitsu Junya smiled and responded, saying:

"Xiaosheng thinks that he has good water skills, and he can do underwater diving. If you want to dive for such a thing, if you have professional equipment, carry an oxygen tank on your back, and have a professional person to guide you, it should not be difficult to just dive down and have a look. ”

As he spoke, Tokitsu Junya's eyes looked behind him, and he saw that in this diving shop, in addition to Gao Yuan and the others who had just arrived, there was also the store manager, Mr. Kohama, and three other young men who didn't know him, and those three young men were already wearing diving suits-

"And it just so happens that today there are three diving enthusiasts who are going to visit the underwater ruins to dive at the underwater ruins, and with them, it will be relatively smooth to dive."

"Huh? There are still tourists from outside the island......"

In this regard, listening to Tokitsu Junya's explanation, Hattori Heiji said with some surprise:

"When I came here with He Ye yesterday, it was still deserted."

"It's scattered, sometimes it's a few tourists. However, there are still not many people......"

As he was talking, suddenly a female voice came from behind everyone, and everyone followed the sound, only to see a young girl about seventeen or eighteen years old, with short black hair, wearing a very ordinary short-sleeved T-shirt and shorts, carrying an oxygen tank, walking out of the warehouse in the diving shop, and seemed to be a little lost and said-

"This young lady is ......"

In this regard, seeing that someone I didn't know appeared, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but ask in a whisper-

After all, looking at the situation of her carrying the oxygen tank, I probably felt that she might be an employee of the store, but when I came here with Kazuha yesterday, I didn't meet her.

"This Miss Aragaki is a resident of this island. It is said that she has been working at the dive shop for a long time, but since the number of tourists has decreased, she has been here less and less, and if it weren't for the arrival of a few tourists who were going to dive today, she probably wouldn't have been called to help. ”

Watching the lady Aragaki move the oxygen tank out of the store and put it on a cart to transport it to a ship docked on the dock, Tokitsu Junya quickly responded:

"It is said that before anyone went missing, the number of tourists visiting the island was several times higher! And I have to receive a lot of people every day, so it's quite busy. ”

"Therefore, after the disappearance, many tourists did not dare to come to the island, which really had a great impact on the island."

Listening to Tokitsu Junya's words, Koshisui Nanatsuki couldn't help but say.

"yes. When I came yesterday, I also heard that during the time when there were many sightseeing divers on the island, the village chief would arrange for boats to be at the pier every day, and the tourists who were going to dive near the underwater ruins would be transported from the pier to the waters near the underwater ruins, so that they could start diving in the waters close to the ruins. ”

And in this regard, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but interject:

"But yesterday, there was no such preparation at all, and Kazuha and I dived directly from the dock, only looking at it from a distance, and didn't observe it from close up at all......"

"That's because the village chief heard that you are going to dive to the vicinity of the underwater ruins today, and there are just tourists coming, so the village chief specially prepared a boat this morning to send everyone to the waters near the ruins!"

It seems that he heard the conversation on Hattori's side, and Mr. Kohama on the side couldn't help but give an explanation to Hattori's side.

"That's ......"

Listening to Mr. Kohama's explanation, Hattori Heiji answered, and then said to Toyama and Ye beside him:

"Then Heye, let's go change our clothes too."

In this regard, after Yuanshan and Ye nodded in response, the two went to rent diving equipment first, ready to change clothes-

"What? You two detectives, aren't you going to dive down and take a look? ”

And as Hattori Heiji and they all began to prepare for diving, seeing that in the end, Takato and Nanatsuki did not plan to dive, and Mr. Kohama couldn't help but ask curiously.

"No need, I'll leave it to them to dive to see the underwater ruins, and we're going to investigate on the island."

Faced with Mr. Xiaobin's inquiry, Gao Yuan waved his hand and refused.

So, Mr. Kohama nodded slightly, and didn't say anything, and after Hattori Heiji and the others changed into diving suits, they took everyone who was going to dive to the side of the boat in front of the dock, and began to explain:

"Next, before I go, I would like to emphasize the precautions for diving......"

It should be a routine explanation of diving safety matters, listening to Mr. Xiaobin talk about it little by little, I didn't plan to dive high, and suddenly noticed that on this ship that was ready to send everyone on the trip-

"There aren't many tourists, but there are a lot of oxygen tanks available......

Somewhat surprised, looking at the pile of oxygen cylinders piled up on the deck of the ship, Gao Yuan couldn't help but mutter.

"Because in diving, the most important thing is to check the amount of oxygen left...... Of course, there is no oxygen in the sea. ”

I don't know if it's a coincidence, Mr. Kohama's explanation began to explain in detail about the matters related to oxygen during diving......
