Conan the Hell Puppet Master

"I've heard of this. Three years ago, there was an old lady who caused the topic of immortality, right. She seems to be... living on this island where the mermaid lives."

Xiao Lan responded immediately.

"Xiao Lan, you know!"

He Ye's interest also picked up.

"I just wanted to be as young and beautiful as that person before I came here."

"So this is ah!"

Xiao Lan, who heard this, immediately joked.

"It seems that He Ye is trying to tie Zhao-kun with his youth and beauty?"

"It's... it's not!"

He Ye denied it with erratic eyes.

"it does not matter!"

Gao Yuanzhao gently touched He Ye's head.

"in spite of....

How about He Ye, I will always like it, Xiaolan too, and if you follow me, maybe you can really be young and beautiful forever."

"Xianzhao-kun is bragging again!"

"Yes, yes, I always like to say these things."

Xiaolan and He Ye looked angry, but the joy in their hearts was clearly written on their faces.

However, the atmosphere at Kogoro on the other side was not so cheerful.

"The Mermaid"

Kogoro has no interest in this kind of thing at all.

"You are a high school student, do you still believe this?"

"It's not a question of believe it or not!"

Pingji explained.

"I'm just introducing some information. According to legend, on that island, there is a man who can eat merman and live forever."

"Could it be that... the entrustment is... asking you to come here to help find the murlocs?"

Kogoro said speechlessly.

"That's it!"

Heiji said with a serious expression.

"It was written in the letter of entrustment at the time that if this continues, the mermaid will be killed!"

"The Mermaid Will Be Killed"

Kogoro's expression also became serious, but...... Conan is still yawning with an indifferent expression.

"What are you doing, listen carefully!"

He muttered softly.

"It's not that I'm not serious, the key is that what you said is too fake. Mermaids are creatures in fairy tales, and only fools believe you."

Conan squinted and said.

"Actually, I don't believe in anything, but that letter is a little strange!"

Heiji didn't care about Conan's expression, but still maintained a serious look.

"The letter was clearly written to.

However, the beginning of the letter is addressed to Mr. Kudo Shinichi."

"Kudou...Shinichi."

Since I transformed myself last time, Judy seems to have discovered it, but this time I heard "Kudou Shinichi"

This name, Conan also regained his spirits, bowed his head and meditated.

"I just thought that this matter might have something to do with you, so I found it, how can I thank me!"

Just as Heiji wanted to take credit for Conan's side, Kogoro patted him on the shoulder.

"By the way, have you contacted the sender of the letter?"

"At that time, there was indeed the phone number of the sender, Saori, from the door association, but I called a few times, except... for the first time, no one answered. As for the first time content."

Speaking of the case, Heiji is still very serious.

"I just heard the sound of the waves and a woman's voice and it was cut off."

Maybe this time the commission was a little weird, so until the boat came ashore, several people tacitly did not continue to discuss in depth.

It was only on the way to the local civil affairs office on American Island that Heiji explained it to Gao Yuanzhao and Xiaolan.

Although it is very rough, there is no strange feeling before, but after inquiring about Saori of the door association through the civil affairs agency... "What, you said that the whereabouts of Miss Saori of the door association are currently unknown"

At this time, everyone, including Kogoro, felt that things were unusual.

"Well, maybe... ten days ago, Saori didn't go to work where she used to work, but it's nothing. She has done this before, probably by boat to the island to play."

When the staff explained, they smiled and did not feel nervous.

"Ten days ago?"

Heiji held his chin and thought carefully.

"That's almost the day I received the letter, but because there are too many things, plus there are exams, it's been delayed for so long, damn it!"

Just when Heiji was struggling with his mistakes, an aunt greeted the staff member from behind several people.

"Xiao Lin, are you ready to go?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Gao Yuanzhao and the others, "Are you guys also coming to the island to participate in the festival?"

"What festival?"

Kogoro came here purely because Heiji agreed to package the travel expenses, and he didn't know anything about the island at all.

"Today happens to be the day when our island holds the annual dugong festival. If you are not in a hurry, please participate and experience it."

The reason why the staff member is so happy is probably because of this reason.

"By the way, if you still want to know more about Saori, you can go out to the corner of the street and ask the boss of the souvenir shop where Saori works."

After learning this information, everyone did not delay and immediately went to the souvenir shop.

"Ha, the merman's amulet, the merman's sling clip, the merman's keychain, eh, this is the first time I've seen this dugong full of heads!"

Xiao Lan and He Ye looked at the goods in the souvenir shop with great interest, and yes, the two of them were originally here to travel.

"By the way, Zhao-kun, what is this dugong?"

He Ye poked Gao Yuanzhao's arm and asked with some doubts.

"It's clearly painted with a mermaid, but the name is this."

"Because dugongs are... mermaids!"

Gao Yuanzhao explained.

"It's an underwater mammal, and because the female dugong has the habit of surfacing her young to suckle, it's often referred to as a mermaid."

"So this is ah!"

He Ye nodded and said admiringly.

"Zhao Jun is indeed a doctor, you know all these things."

"Ugh... what are you showing off!"

Seeing this scene, Heiji pouted, and although he was a little jealous, he still managed to turn his eyes to Kogoro.

After all, he is not... a tourist, he was entrusted to investigate, and now I need Kogoro's help to inquire about information.

It's a pity that Kogoro is obviously asking him to cooperate with Saori, but he... "Excuse me, what's going on with your dugong festival?"

In fact, Kogoro really took this action as a free tour.

Chapter five hundred and sixty-eight

Although he complained in his heart that this tomb made by Jun Hui was a death trap, but when he saw He Ye fall off the cliff, Gao Yuanzhao rushed over without hesitation.

Under the terrified gaze of He Ye, Gao Yuanzhao grabbed He Ye's small hand in midair, and the other hand grabbed the branch of a small tree growing on the edge of the cliff.

"Ah, although you were not so frightened that you jumped into my arms this time, but now that I save you, it can be regarded as yesterday's reappearance!"

Although it was a matter of life and death, Gao Yuanzhao was still optimistic and joking.

He Ye knew that what Gao Yuanzhao was talking about was that when he faced the murderer with the knife, Gao Yuanzhao blocked the knife for him, but she really can't remember this situation now.

"Zhaojun, Zhaojun, branch!"

Gao Yuanzhao looked back and was also taken aback.

Gao Yuanzhao's behavior at this time is the same as Heiji's sacrifice to save He Ye in the animation, but he is taller and heavier than Heiji.

In the animation, even the weight of Heiji and Ye, this small tree can't stand it, not to mention the current Gao Yuanzhao.

"Zhao-kun, if you don't..."

He Ye's eyes were full of determination, but he was immediately stopped by Gao Yuanzhao.

"Don't be kidding, isn't this thing going to be broken? I can save you without it, so you can rest assured!"

After Gao Yuanzhao finished speaking, he quickly observed the cliff.

He Ye, who was yelled at by Gao Yuanzhao, was stunned for a moment, then his nervousness calmed down. Looking at Gao Yuanzhao's figure, there was only peace of mind in his heart.
