Chapter 319: Go to Mermaid Island in 2 days
Chapter 319: Go to Mermaid Island in 2 days
"Ah."
Huiyuan Ai nodded slightly, a trace of memory flashed in her eyes.
"Gin and Vodka went there with me once."
"Is it for that research?"
Bai Masong also took a sip of coffee and asked,
"Yes."
Huiyuan Ai replied, recalling the information about the American Island in her mind.
"The American Island is also known as the Mermaid Island because there lives a centenarian woman there. Legend has it that this old woman ate the flesh of a mermaid and gained the ability to live forever."
“This island holds a dugong festival every year.”
“That’s why the organization went there.”
"But there was nothing to gain."
After listening to what Haibara Ai said, Hattori Heiji and Conan also understood.
"In other words, the boss or some important person in your organization wants to live forever?"
Hattori Heiji asked.
Haibara Ai's pupils shrank slightly, but the expression on her face remained unchanged and calm.
She did not confirm what Hattori Heiji said, but asked back,
"Who doesn't want to live forever?"
"However, it seems that this matter has nothing to do with the organization."
Conan thought about it and said.
"never mind,"
Hattori Heiji said lightly,
"It would be best if it's alright, but I have to deal with this letter. The day after tomorrow is the Dugong Festival, so we can just treat it as a trip."
"Humph! What else are you talking about!"
Conan seemed very unhappy.
"If what you said wasn't related to that organization, I would have gone to the president's house with Uncle Maori and the others to taste wine today!"
"Oh, it's okay. If you don't go, He Ye will go in your place."
Hattori Heiji put his arm around Conan's shoulders and said with a nonchalant smile,
"Besides, if we hadn't come to Brother Song's place today, you wouldn't know that this letter has nothing to do with the organization!"
Hattori Heiji's sophistry makes sense, but Conan is not so easily fooled.
"Get lost! If you had come to Brother Song earlier to ask for clarification, I wouldn't have had to make such a trip with you."
"Don't worry about it so much!"
Hattori Heiji realized that he couldn't deceive her anymore, so he started to change the subject.
"Will you go to the American Island in a few days, Brother Song?"
"can."
Bai Masong nodded, indicating that he could go.
However, he had another consideration in mind.
At this time, Bai Masong's cell phone rang.
"Hey, hey, brother Bai Ma."
The voice of Inspector Megure came from inside.
"It's me. What's wrong, Officer Megure?"
Bai Masong asked over there.
"Mr. Kusaka, the owner of Kusaka House, was found dead at home in xx-cho xx-chome,"
Officer Megure spoke quickly, and finally added,
"Mr. Kusaka runs a fairly large financial company, and the room he's in has become a secret room."
Bai Masong listened to what Inspector Megure said and understood his subtext - it's not that I want to disturb you, brother, it's just that we can't solve this case, and President Kusaka has a high social status, so he still needs you, brother!
So, Bai Masong immediately replied,
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
Then he hung up the phone.
"Brother Song, is there a case?"
When Hattori Heiji heard that it was Inspector Megure calling at this time, he asked excitedly.
"Um,"
Bai Masong nodded slightly,
"President Kusaka was found dead at his home in xx-cho xx-chome. I have to go there now."
"what?"
Conan was surprised when he heard the address and the name of the deceased.
"Isn't this where Uncle Maori went tonight?"
Forehead......
Hakubamatsu and Hattori Heiji's mouth twitched as they listened to Conan's words.
President Kusaka, why did you invite Kogoro Mori when you could have invited anyone else? Now you've got yourself involved.
After complaining in his heart, Hattori Heiji quietly straightened the brim of his baseball cap on his head and smiled.
"In that case, Brother Song, why don't we go together?"
"Hmm."
Conan nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Hattori Heiji's statement.
Detectives like them are like masters who like to play games. When they see a group of noobs playing, they always want to give them some pointers.
"Okay, but you can't just collect evidence casually. You should know the rules of the crime scene."
Bai Masong did not refuse, but still gave a few reminders.
Hattori Heiji and Conan naturally nodded in agreement and were very well behaved.
Afterwards, the three of them left Baimasong's house and drove towards Kusaka's house.
Of course Haibara Ai would not go. She has never been interested in this kind of thing. Instead of spending her time reading a few more magazines. Her pocket money has arrived recently, so she can consider buying a bag.
.......................
Thirty minutes later, Hakubamatsu drove his newly bought Lexus SC to the Kusaka residence with Conan and Hattori Heiji.
The previous Lexus LX had been blown up at the Twilight Villa last time, so Bai Masong had to buy another four-seater car.
It just so happened that he was very satisfied with the latest Lexus SC, so he chose it.
Originally, if Conan was involved in this case, he would probably be able to solve it.
But because Hattori Heiji came, Conan didn't go today, so whether Mouri Kogoro is really stupid or pretending to be stupid, he can't solve the case.
Therefore, in order to avoid embarrassing Inspector Megure and causing trouble, Hakubamatsu had to take action himself.
As soon as we arrived at Kusaka Residence, Takagi Wataru was already waiting at the door of the villa.
"Inspector Hakuba, we have completed the basic investigation of the scene. Officer Megure is organizing the work inside. I will take you there."
"Ah."
Bai Ma Song nodded.
Takagi Wataru looked at Conan and Hattori Heiji behind Hakuba Matsu again, somewhat surprised.
"Hey, Hattori-san from Osaka is here today too."
"Hahaha,"
Hattori Heiji scratched his head.
"I just happened to come here to hang out with Song Ge and Conan today. I heard there was a case, so I came here just because I saw them."
"Well, without further ado, let's go inside and talk."
Takagi Wataru expressed his understanding and was very happy. After all, Hattori Heiji's reasoning ability was not bad, and it always helps to have more experts to solve a case.
Not long after, Takagi Wataru brought three people to the cellar.
"Heiji!"
Toyama Kazuha was very happy to see Hattori Heiji coming.
"I didn't expect you to come here with Officer White Horse."
"Humph!"
Hattori Heiji is quite polite to others, but he can't help but be mean to Toyama Kazuha.
"It's because you guys can't handle it, otherwise Brother Song and I wouldn't have come all this way!"
"You kid!"
Toyama Kazuha was not annoyed, but Maori Kogoro was.
"With a famous detective like me, the case here will be solved soon!"
