The daily life of the famous detective: the undead

Chapter 68 Dugong Celebration
Song Pingfeng and others boarded the boat, and it took almost two hours to reach their destination.Matsudaira Kaede and the three boys were on one side of the deck, and the three girls were on the other side, while Mori Kogoro went to the stern to smoke.

"So what's the situation? Why did you suddenly think of calling us?" Matsudaira asked, leaning on the railing of the deck.

"Two days ago, I suddenly received a letter saying that I was asked to go to Mermaid Island to investigate the missing persons incident, so I came here. It had nothing to do with you, but there was something wrong with that letter. " Hattori Heiji said.

"What's the problem?" Conan asked.

"My name was written on the envelope of that letter, but it was indeed written to you." Hattori Heiji said to Conan.

"Me?" Conan was puzzled.

"Kudo Shinichi?" Matsudaira asked, looking up.

"That's right, Mr. Kudo Shinichi wrote hello at the beginning of the letter, so I was wondering if it has something to do with you, so I called you." Hattori Heiji explained.

Conan and Matsudaira frowned in thought, but they had different considerations.What Conan was thinking about was showing his flaws, while Matsudaira was thinking about the direction of the plot.

It stands to reason that it is very safe for Conan at this stage to be Conan. How could anyone know that Kudo Shinichi is Conan?
"What's the matter? Is there any problem?" Hattori Heiji couldn't help asking when he saw the two frowning.

"I was just thinking that something went wrong. No one should know his identity." Song Pingfeng shook his head and said.

"No matter what, you can find out wherever you go. Tell us about the island first." Conan said.

"What are you talking about?" At this moment, He Ye's voice came.

The three of them looked up and saw that three girls were coming towards them.

"We are talking about the situation on that island." Song Pingfeng explained.

"The Mermaid Island?" He Ye asked.

"Well, you seem to be familiar with it, let me introduce it to us." Hattori Heiji said.

"Hmph, you came here so far, didn't you even do the work of knowing the situation in advance?" He Ye raised his head and snorted.

"You bastard..." Hattori Heiji gritted his teeth, displeased with Heye's arrogant appearance.

"Well, He Ye, please tell us about it. We've only heard about it, but we don't know the details." Mao Lilan smoothed things over.

"Okay then, let me introduce you for this careless guy." As he spoke, Kazuha raised his eyes and glanced at Hattori Heiji.Hattori Heiji turned his head away from her in disdain.

"The original name of this island is America Island. Because the characteristic of the island is the mermaid, it is also called the Mermaid Island." He Ye said.

"Mermaid? Is there really such a creature in the world?" Everyone asked curiously.

"This is a legend on the island. It is said that eating mermaid meat can lead to immortality, and there was a person on the island who ate mermaid meat, so he lived for three or four hundred years. It still exists and is a symbol of the island. Every year, the island will report the celebration, just to get the blessing of this longevity woman." He Ye said with a smile.

"Three or four hundred years old?" Everyone was surprised, can anyone live for such a long time?
"So this time I came here to ask you to find the so-called murloc?" Mori Kogoro, who came back from the stern at some time, said with a disdainful tone, obviously he didn't believe in mermaids and longevity women.

"No, this trip is just to investigate the missing person." Hattori Heiji shook his head and said.

But at the side, Song Pingfeng frowned.

live forever?He has not forgotten the ultimate goal of the winery, combined with the records of Mermaid Island in the notebook that he forgot, this trip began to be interesting.

"What's wrong?" Conan asked in a low voice seeing Matsudaira frowning.

"Do you still remember what the purpose of the black organization is?" Matsudaira whispered.

Conan thought about it, his pupils shrank.

"You mean..." Conan looked at Matsudaira Feng.

"That's right, maybe there will be a shadow of the black organization on the island." Song Pingfeng nodded and said.

"Then my identity has been exposed?" Conan said anxiously.

"Don't worry, it's unlikely. With their style, if they find you, they will take you away directly. They won't do that." Song Pingfeng shook his head to reassure him. Conan's safety factor at this stage is very high. There is a possibility of danger in this trip to Mermaid Island.

"Hmm." Conan glanced at Mao Lilan and nodded solemnly, obviously still a little worried.

At noon, the cruise ship finally arrived at its destination, and everyone packed their things and disembarked.

"Ah, it's finally here." He Ye stretched his waist and sighed.Sailing at sea is new, but after a long time, it is still unbearable, especially for people like them who often travel by boat.

"Yeah, it's finally here." Mao Lilan echoed with a smile.

"Let's go find someone first, Ms. Saori, the door coordinator." Hattori Heiji said.

Several people came to the public hall on the island and asked the staff here.

"What, you said that Ms. Menshe Saori is missing now?" Mori Kogoro asked loudly.

"That's right, she didn't go to work three days ago." The middle-aged male staff nodded and said.

"Three days ago? It happened to be when the entrustment letter was mailed home." Hattori Heiji said while touching his chin.

"Sorry, I'm going to prepare for the celebration on the island first. If you want to know anything else, you can go to the local product shop where the yarn weaving works on the corner of the street." The middle-aged man said. .

"Celebration?" Yuan Shan and Ye asked suspiciously.

"That's right, today happens to be the annual dugong celebration on our island." The middle-aged man smiled and walked away with a few people.

"Speaking of which, the people on the island seemed to be busy with something when they first came here." Mao Lilan recalled.

"Dugong celebration, what is that?" Yuko Kimura asked suspiciously.

"This is the island's annual special celebration. It is said that the host is the Longevity Woman. She will bless the chosen ones today, and those who receive her blessings will have a long life." Yuan Shan and Ye raised their index fingers explained.

"Really?" Molly asked in surprise.

"I don't know, but the dugong celebration has been very popular in recent years, and many big businessmen and politicians have come here to pray for blessings." Yuan Shanhe Ye said.

"But speaking of it, what exactly is a dugong?" Yuko Kimura asked suspiciously.

"A dugong is actually a mermaid, a kind of mammal that lives on the seabed. It looks pretty ugly. But dugong meat has always been considered a elixir of immortality. It's not the same as the mermaid you imagine." On the side, Matsudaira Feng said with a smile while holding the tourist brochure he picked up from the counter.

"Feng-kun, you really are." Yuko Kimura looked at him helplessly, not knowing whether to blame him for being confused or for taking things indiscriminately.

"Let's go to the store he mentioned first and ask." Hattori Heiji said.

Several people came to the souvenir shop mentioned by the middle-aged man, probably because today is the dugong celebration, there are quite a lot of tourists in this shop.
