"Well...... this"

Mori Kogoro hesitated.

For Hattori Heiji's sudden invitation.

Actually, he wasn't very interested.

After all, as an adult, he still has a lot to do.

Let's say betting on horses......

However, looking at the beauty in front of him, who asked for himself, Maori Kogoro still swore and said: "Leave this kid to me!" ”

“……”

Fujino silently glanced at Mori Kogoro.

That's why Uncle Maori is still so open-eyed.

There is no resistance to the things that the beauty asks for.,There's no resistance at all.。

Hattori Shizuka nodded, still more relieved about Fujino and Maori Kogoro.

…………

It was already late, and although Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha had already brought their luggage, Fujino and his party didn't know about the trip.

Helplessly, they could only let the two of them stay in Shizuoka for one night with Hattori Shizuka, Fujino returned to Tokyo with the Mori family, took the Shinkansen to Fukuoka the next day to meet, and then went to Fukui Prefecture together.

Shizuka Hattori, on the other hand, did not go to Fukui with the group, and after arriving at Nagoya, where she started, she separated from the others and took the Shinkansen back to Osaka.

However, before leaving, she still explained to Hattori Heiji uneasily: "When you are with Mr. Maori and Fujino-kun, you must be honest and don't cause trouble." ”

"What do you mean I'm getting into trouble......

Heiji Hattori was a little speechless.

Obviously, every trouble is caused by Fujino and Kudo's kid.

He just went along!

How do you listen to your mother's tone......

Is it himself?

"It's because of your frizzy appearance that I don't feel at ease......"

Hattori Shizuka was a little helpless about his son.

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she walked forward slowly, leaned into Hattori's ear and said, "Also, don't bully that kid Fujino......"

"Huh?!"

Hattori Heiji was surprised: "Obasan, what are you talking about?" ”

What do you mean by him bullying that kid Fujino?

Fujino is still a child, a bear child with such damage?

And he hasn't bullied that guy either, what is bullying?

Recalling some things in the past, Hattori Heiji felt a little tight in his throat.

"Huh?"

Hattori Jinghua's face was slightly serious, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes gradually became cold.

"Oh oh oh!"

Hattori shivered and nodded repeatedly.

"It's not easy for Fujino's child, you have to live on your own without a family, it's a lot harder than you, if people are sincere, you can't always bully ......"

Hattori Jinghua's face was still pale, and he reached out and patted Hattori Heiji's shoulder: "Anyway, it's good to understand, didn't someone help connect the bones last time you had a car accident?" Even if you can't do it, you can't do ungrateful things and speak ill of people behind your back. ”

"Obviously, you didn't follow me the last time I went to the hospital...... How the hell do you know? ”

Hattori Heiji automatically ignored the previous paragraph and secretly complained in his heart.

Fujino, who was listening secretly, nodded secretly, and secretly sighed in his heart that Aunt Jinghua was still beautiful and kind, and could understand his good intentions.

"Huh?"

Hattori Shizuka seemed to feel something, and looked at Hattori Heiji with a frown, as if he already knew what the other party was thinking.

The momentum around him has risen more than one step.

"I see!"

Hattori Heiji couldn't believe it, looked at his surging mother, and was speechless for a while.

Is this really my own mother?

How do you elbow outward!

"It's good to understand......"

Hattori Shizuka's face soothed a lot, and after thinking about it, she suddenly asked again, "By the way, do you know what Hokage is?" ”

"Hokage?"

Hattori Heiji, who heard the sound, was also a little ignorant.

He hadn't heard of the word either.

After thinking about it, he asked hesitantly, "Hokage or something...... What does that mean? ”

"Nothing...... It's just a word I heard by chance, and I feel that it may be a popular word among you young people, so I mentioned it. ”

Seeing that his son didn't know what Hokage meant, Hattori Shizuka didn't continue to ask.

"Jingle bells! The train from Nagoya to Osaka is about to depart, so please board the train as soon as possible. ”

At this time, the radio at the station suddenly sounded.

"Alright, alright!"

Hattori Heiji hurriedly tugged at Hattori Jinghua's clothes when he heard this: "Since you know that you are no longer a young man, go home quickly, Obasan." ”

“……”

Hattori Shizuka stepped back and sighed, feeling a little tired.

Obviously, when I was a child, I listened to her for everything, but now I have an Obasan.

Why does the older you get, the worse your personality becomes?

Is it because of adolescent rebellion?

"Since this is the case, then I will entrust Ye Heping to you!"

Turning around, he politely greeted everyone, Hattori Shizuka's eyes were fixed on Fujino's body, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.

Originally, she thought that her son was being bullied by others.

But judging from the current situation, it seems that his son bullied others.

He also deliberately came over to play with the orphans who made a living from it......

How do you feel a little guilty?

…………

Fukui, on the ferry to Mermaid Island.

The sea breeze was blowing slightly, and a small ferry was sailing on the calm sea, with white ripples on both sides.

"Really!"

Maori Kogoro leaned against the guardrail next to the boat, held a cigarette, and looked at Hattori Heiji on the side with a grudge: "You kid, won't you thank me?" Without prior notice, he suddenly ran over and said that he was going to Fukui to investigate something. ”

"Haha, what's the matter......"

Hattori Heiji smiled, "Anyway, I paid for this trip, so you should treat it as a trip...... Moreover, I also work with the ...... in advance Conan said it.

"Hah...... Yes? ”

Conan, who was leaning against the guardrail next to him, was suddenly stunned, and the yawn he had been swallowing back was swallowed back.

"I don't know if it's good or not."

Maori Kogoro glanced at Conan: "This kind of thing, what's the use of talking to an unreliable little ghost......

Conan smiled helplessly.

Then his eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at Hattori Heiji with a resentful gaze.

You have a treat, you have a treat, what are you doing to bring this to me?

"I'm nothing."

Maori Kogoro looked at Fujino on the side: "The main thing is that the Fujino brother drove back to Tokyo overnight, went to bed at one o'clock in the morning, and got up early the next morning to take the Shinkansen...... Brother Fujino must not have even slept, right? ”

"It's not true, it's just a normal routine."

Fujino looked out at the sea and sky.

"Normal routine?"

Maori Kogoro raised his eyebrows: "Brother Fujino, what time do you usually sleep?" ”

"It's twelve o'clock, sometimes it's a little ...... Then slept until four or five o'clock the next morning. ”

Fuji responded flatly.

Speaking of which, he only needs to sleep three or four hours a day, which is actually enough.

In two hours, the energy of the whole day can be restored.

"That's not going to work."

Mori Kogoro was a little worried: "If you sleep four or five hours a day, it's easy to die suddenly...... Why don't you catch up on the sleep when you get to the place later? ”

"No need."

Fujino waved his hand: "I'm usually like this, and my energy is really enough." ”

"That's good......"

Maori Kogoro nodded, turned his head to Hattori Heiji and asked curiously, "But then again, boy, you just said that it is Fukui's island, but which island are we going to?" ”

"It's an isolated island in a few narrow bays called American Island."

Hattori Heiji took a look: "And the locals call it ...... An island inhabited by mermaids. ”

"The island where the merfolk live?"

Mori Kogoro took a puff of his cigarette and rarely raised some interest: "So there is a beautiful mermaid on it?" ”

"Well...... this"

Hattori Heiji smiled helplessly: "I heard that there is an old woman who eats mermaid meat and lives forever on that island, and that's how the name comes from." ”

"I've heard of that island, alas!"

At this time, Xiaolan, who was chatting with another good girlfriend of hers, came over.

Xiaolan was wearing a white turtleneck sweater and a small green suit, and when she heard a few people mention the matter of Mermaid Island, she suddenly mentioned it with interest: "Is it the immortal old woman who was all the rage three years ago?" ”

"I've heard that too."

Yuanshan and Ye on the side were also very interested, squinting and smiling: "I also wanted to see the rumors on this island, so I thought about coming over with this guy Pingji, if I could keep myself young and beautiful forever, it would be great......"

"That's right!"

Xiaolan suddenly covered her mouth and smiled: "Take advantage of your youth and beauty, and let Hattori bow down under your pomegranate skirt......"

"Hey, hey!"

He Ye suddenly panicked: "I can't talk so loudly!" ”

"You're still very young, aren't you?!"

Conan glanced at the gossipy Xiaolan and Kazuha, and was speechless for a while.

But he didn't expect that Xiaolan and He Ye actually believed in immortality or something.

Is a little girl really easy to deceive?

If you can really live forever......

Wait a minute?

Thinking of this, Conan was suddenly stunned, and his pupils dilated slightly: "Isn't this special thing for me to rejuvenate?!" ”

"Mermaids or something, it's really boring, if you want me to say, it's not as interesting as a nun who has lived for 800 years."

Mori Kogoro was a little disappointed, and the interest he had originally raised fell again.

He also thought that the mermaid was a beautiful sister wearing a kimono and a fishtail on the lower half of her body.

I didn't expect it to be an old lady......

He took a deep puff of his cigarette and looked a little melancholy: "This time, the client, could it be that he just wanted to see the so-called mermaid, so he initiated the commission, and then you pulled me over to find it again, right?" First of all, I don't bother to do this stupid job of finding mermaids. ”

"No!"

Heiji Hattori decisively refused: "If it's such a commission, even I think it's a joke." ”

"Contrary to trying to find the merfolk, this time the client wrote me a short sentence: 'I'm about to be killed by the merfolk, save me!' Such a handwriting is a little trembling when written. ”

"Merfolk?!"

"Killed!"

The rest of the people were slightly stunned.

"Door Association Yarn Weaving."

Fujino's face on the side was still the same, and he suddenly raised his mouth.

"Huh?"

Hattori Heiji was stunned when he heard this, and then hurriedly asked, "Fujino, how did you know the name of the client?" ”

"Isn't that a simple thing?"

Fujino turned his head and looked at Heiji Hattori as if he were looking at a fool: "Isn't it okay for the client to send a letter of entrustment to the two detectives?" ”

"She sent you a letter of entrustment too?"

Hattori Heiji was surprised.

"Yes, it's not just a letter of entrustment, but also a meeting."

Fujino nodded slightly: "A few days ago, I even gave the commission money, strictly speaking, she should be my customer." ”

"And do you know where she is now?!"

Hattori Heiji suddenly said excitedly: "She left her contact information, but when I called, although the other end of the phone was connected, there was a burst of women's mouths, and there were vague bursts of heavy, and strange muffled sounds, and even the sound of electricity...... After that, the phone was completely unavailable, so I was going to come and have a look. ”

"Could it be that that person has already been killed by the merfolk?!"

"What the hell is going on with her, Fujino-senpai?!"

Xiaolan and Kazuha both looked frightened, and asked curiously towards Fujino.

And the cigarette in Maori Kogoro's hand shook his hand and fell directly into the sea.

How do you feel that Hattori's description of this kid is a little unserious?

Current...... It's too much fun, isn't it?

"Well...... this"

Fujino thought for a moment: "On the day she came to Tokyo and entrusted me to go back, she was kidnapped in broad daylight. ”

"Kidnapped??"

Heiji Hattori was a little surprised.

This was the first time he had encountered a client being kidnapped.

Of course, he doesn't usually have any commissions.

Conan was also upset when he heard this, and began to think secretly in his heart.

After being said and killed, he was killed by a mermaid, and then he was kidnapped.

There must be a conspiracy behind this!

"Hey, hey!"

Hattori Heiji couldn't sit still: "You already knew that she was kidnapped, didn't you investigate?" ”

"Of course I investigated, after all, I am also a criminal police consultant of the Criminal Department, and she is still my client, so I rushed to the scene of the crime as soon as possible and shared information with the police."

"I see, if that's the case, have you found out anything?"

"Not at all."

Heiji Hattori: "......"

You still haven't checked, have you?

With your level, it is estimated that you will be able to get people back on the same day!

Fujino's flat gaze narrowed slightly at the surface of the sea.

He certainly didn't investigate.

Can this matter still be investigated?

Can he still say that the client was kidnapped, and the murderer turned out to be himself?

As for the previous phone call, it should have been the one he received when he was carrying out the project of awakening and repenting and rebuilding the mermaid of prisoners.

It's just that Hattori's description of this kid is a little weird......

It's obvious that he is working on a mermaid transformation project, and he is a very serious job, and the people who have been transformed are very happy, how can he say that he is so astringent?
