Pirates: I am actually the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki

The old man was very angry, but he was very angry.

"You have to thank me, you showed up rashly and said you had a case to deal with in Fukui. I came with you but that doesn't mean I don't have anything else to do."

On the ship, Maori Kogoro leaned on the railing and complained seriously to Hattori Heiji in front of him.

Hattori Heiji turned his head and said with a smile: "You don't have any loss, anyway, I will pay for the travel expenses."

Mouri Kogoro curled his lips and said helplessly: "Okay, which island are we going to now?"

Looking at the island in the distance, Hattori Heiji said: "It's called American Island. Although it is a small isolated island, people around here call it another name, which is the island where mermaids live."

Hearing his words, Maori Kogoro was a little surprised, "The island where mermaids live?"

Hattori Heiji nodded, "Yes, I also heard that there is an old lady on that island who specializes in eating mermaid meat for immortality. Live there!"

Hearing this novel thing, Xiaolan beside her said: "I have heard of this too. You are talking about the old lady who caused a topic three years ago because of her immortality, right!"

And Kazuha beside her also said with a smile: "Yes, I just hope to be as young and beautiful as her, so I came with her this time."

Hearing her words, Xiaolan teased: "I know, do you want to tie Hattori with your youth and beauty?"

"Shh, they will hear it if it's so loud!"

Said that, Kazuha also glanced in the direction of Hattori Heiji, and confirmed that he didn't hear it, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

As she said that, she asked curiously, "By the way, Xiaolan, I heard that you met Kaito Kid because of an invitation letter a while ago. Is it true?"

Xiaolan nodded, "That's right. Kaito Kid disguised himself as my father to approach us that time, and he didn't show up until the end."

He Ye suddenly realized, "That's it!"

Hearing their words, Hattori Heiji next to him said, "Are you talking about the Twilight Annex? Later, I heard from my mother that she helped me reject the invitation because the midterm exam was approaching."

Thinking of this, Maori Kogoro felt a little scared. Because of Kid, he had never actually visited the Twilight Annex.

Looking back now, it was all the scenes of freezing in the toilet of the gas station. Just thinking about it made me shudder.

Xiaolan said, "Speaking of that, the Twilight Annex seemed to have been demolished later!

I remember that Yamamura police officer from Gunma Prefecture once called to ask about this.

It seems that when the police went back to protect the annex made entirely of gold, it disappeared. Only the fallen wall skin there proved that there was indeed a building there."

Hearing this, He Ye also had an impression, "I seem to have seen this in the news. It seems that a annex made entirely of gold disappeared strangely, and this incident has also caused a great discussion in society!

After all, a annex made of gold, how much money would it be worth!"

Sha Jin also had an impression of this incident. It was the organization that demolished the annex.

At that time, he also lamented that the organization's ability to act was a bit outrageous!

However, because he was the one who passed the news to the organization, the gentleman was very happy. He didn't have to do any tasks for a long time. After all, this time, it was conservatively estimated that the organization could obtain wealth worth hundreds of billions of yen.

In fact, the reason why Sunajin passed the news to the organization was because he received a call from Gin before going to the Twilight Annex.

On the phone, Gin said that he learned that someone had invited a group of detectives to the Twilight Annex and wanted to know the purpose of the invitation.

And Gin also asked him to find the treasure in the annex if possible.

After all, it was the property of Karasuma Renya, and it was normal for the Black Organization to pay attention to it. In this way, Sunajin went to the appointment with a mission and finally told Gin about the treasure.

...

Thinking back to the Twilight Annex, Conan frowned.

At that time, they received a call from Yamamura So a day after returning home.

On the phone, Yamamura So told about the disappearance of the Twilight Annex.

Given that only those who were present at the time knew about the treasure of the Twilight Annex, the Gunma Prefecture police suspected that this matter was related to them.

However, because there was no evidence later, the matter was left unresolved. Conan was not happy about this matter.

I know why, but I always have a strange feeling.

I shook my head and decided not to think about it anymore.

Maori Kogoro looked at Hattori Heiji beside him, "Let me ask you, the person who asked you to come here, could it be that he wants you to help him find some mermaid?"

Hattori Heiji smiled, "It's just the opposite. There are only a few simple words written on the letter of entrustment. It can be seen that it was written in a hurry.

It says: The mermaid is about to be killed, come and save it!"

Hearing his words, Maori Kogoro's cigarette fell out of his mouth excitedly, "You mean the mermaid..."

"Will be killed!"

Just then, Conan yawned on the side.

Hattori Heiji was speechless, "What are you doing? Listen carefully!"

Conan curled his lips, "Come on, mermaids are the protagonists of fairy tales, only fools believe you!"

Hattori Heiji leaned on the railing with both hands and said, "Actually, I don't really believe in the existence of mermaids, but I'm curious about the letter sent by the client.

Although my name is written on the envelope, the words "Hello, Mr. Kudo Shinichi" are written at the beginning of the envelope."

"Huh?"

Conan was also a little surprised when he heard this.

Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes, "Why don't you thank me quickly? I brought you here because I thought this guy might have something to do with you!"

Seeing him whispering to Conan, Maori Kogoro couldn't stand it anymore, "Hey, have you contacted the client to confirm this?"

Hattori Heiji nodded, "Yes, the one who sent the letter to us, Monkyo Saori, did leave a mobile phone number in the letter for us to contact.

The second time I tried to contact her, I couldn't get through no matter how hard I tried. The first time I got through, it was immediately cut off.

I still remember the voice from the other end of the phone very clearly. In addition to the sound of the waves, there was a woman's moan."

Xiaolan exclaimed, "Ah? Could it be that the person turned into a mermaid?"

Beside her, Kazuha also looked at Hattori Heiji with a scared face.

...

"What, you said Miss Monkyo Saori is currently missing?"

Looking at the staff in front of him, Maori Kogoro was surprised.

The staff nodded, "Yes, she didn't seem to go to work three days ago."

Hattori Heiji touched his chin, "Three days from now, it was exactly when the letter was sent to the house."

The staff continued, "But the neighbors are wondering if she took a boat to the mainland to play."

A lady not far away shouted, "Mr. Kobayashi, it's time to go!"

"Oh, I'm coming!"

The staff responded first, and then said embarrassedly, "Sorry, I have to send it back to the island to prepare for the festival!"

Mouri Kogoro was a little curious, "What festival?"

The staff touched the back of his head and said with a smile, "Today is the day of the annual dugong festival on our island!

If you want to know anything else, you can go to the souvenir shop where Saori works on the corner and ask the boss."
