I'm making soy sauce in the detective world

"Smelly boy, thank me very much." Uncle Maori said in a windbreaker and leaning on the guardrail with a cigarette in his mouth, "Suddenly he said he was going to come and then suddenly he said that there is a case to go to Fukui, I will come. It’s not because I have nothing else to do."

Pingci, who was called the stinky boy by Uncle Maori, turned his head and replied: "Uncle, you have no loss anyway. This time the travel expenses are counted on me. I heard that the seafood over there is very good. Uncle Maori can come over and have a meal."

"In other words, which island are we going to?"

According to Heiji, Uncle Maori is also a little greedy. There is still a big gap between the seafood on the island and the ones bought in the city. The only pity is that he can't drink beer when he eats seafood. He doesn't want to get gout at this age.

Heiji leaned back against the guardrail and turned his head to the small island that was getting closer and closer to the crowd and said: "The island we went to is called America Island, but everyone nearby calls it another name."

"Island where mermaids live."

Seeing Uncle Maori's puzzled expression, Pingci nodded: "Yes, it is said that there is an old lady on that island who specializes in eating mermaid meat for immortality."

Xiaolan had also heard of this mysterious island and said: "I have also heard of it! You are talking about the old lady who caused the topic of immortality three years ago, right!"

"That's right, I just want to be forever young and beautiful like him. Only then will I come with him this time."

Hearing Heye's words, Xiaolan leaned close to Heye and joked, "You just want to tie Heiji with your youth and beauty, right!"

As if being said to his heart, He Ye's face quickly rose with a trace of rosy, and hurriedly said to Xiaolan: "Be quiet! They will hear you so loud!"

"I have heard it." Guangyou leaned on the guardrail and looked at the endless sea, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. "Isn't she always young and beautiful? Isn't that what she describes?"

Xiao Ai heard Guangyou's murmur, frowned and asked, "Who are you talking about?"

Guangyou shook his head and obviously didn't want to mention the name. He knew that the name was a nightmare in Xiao Ai's heart, so he changed the subject: "Ai Jiang, you should have been to this island too."

"I have been here. After all, the things I studied have some similarities with this. Of course I will come back to confirm this kind of rumors that may be helpful." Xiao Ai's tone was very flat.

Uncle Maori spit out a puff of smoke, turned his head and asked, "Isn't the person who came for you a mermaid?"

Thinking of the content of the letter of entrustment, Pingci frowned and shook his head: "On the contrary, only a few words were written on the letter of entrustment. It can be seen that it was written in a hurry. It said that the mermaid was about to be killed. Please come and save it."

This strange-sounding sentence made the smiles on everyone's faces disappear, and only Guangyou Xiaoai Conan had no expression on their faces, and Guangyou even wanted to laugh.

Conan yawned unconsciously. Seeing Conan's lack of interest, he lowered his voice and said, "Hey, can you listen carefully?"

Conan's mouth twitched, and he looked at Heiji like a fool: "Please, the mermaid is the protagonist of a fairy tale. Only fools can believe it."

Of course Heiji had doubts in his heart, but what he noticed was that although Hattori Heiji's name was written on the envelope of the letter of entrustment, the name of Shinichi Kudo was written at the beginning of the letter.

"Otherwise, why do you think I came here on purpose? It's not that I thought this matter might have something to do with you, so I didn't bother to come over so far." Pingci's face was almost written with a few big words that don't know good people.

Uncle Maori suddenly asked: "Have you contacted the client to confirm this case."

Uncle Maori’s worries are naturally understood. If this is a prank, it’s really for nothing. He had contacted the client before coming, so he nodded and said: "The door association Saori who sent the letter to me did leave a phone call, but What makes me strange is that when I contacted her for the second time, I couldn't get through no matter how much I called."

"Moreover, I was hung up immediately after the first connection. I remember the sound on the phone very clearly until now. Apart from the sound of the waves, there was only the moaning of women."

The sound of the ship’s whistle pulled everyone back to reality. After everyone got off the ship, they immediately went to the client, Menxie Saori. What surprised everyone was that they asked a middle-aged man working on the island. The uncle later learned that Menxie Saori didn't go to work at work three days ago.

The whereabouts are still unknown. Three days ago, it happened to be when the letter was sent to Heiji. At this time, the two Obasans greeted the middle-aged uncle that it was time to go. The middle-aged uncle scratched his head and said goodbye to everyone. Before leaving, the uncle said to everyone that if you want to know about Monkyo Saori, you should go to the souvenir shop where she works on the corner and ask the boss.

Everyone bid farewell to the uncle, and came to the souvenir shop on the corner of the street that he said. It is worthy of the "island where the mermaid inhabits." Most of the souvenir shop Li is related to mermaid, such as mermaid amulet, mermaid sling rack and mermaid shape Pie.

But the above did not mark the mermaid, but the dugong. Faced with such a term that is rarely seen in ordinary times, he asked Ye Wen: "Hey, what is a dugong?"

Pingci explained to her: "Dugongs are commonly known as mermaids, mammals. Since ancient times, it has been rumored that dugong meat can be used as the elixir of immortality."

Guangyou picked up the two shell-shaped amulets placed on it and walked towards the counter. Uncle Maori and the boss were talking. Guangyou couldn’t interrupt, but fortunately there was a price on it. Guangyou put the money directly on the table. Just talk to the boss.

Guangyou gave one of the amulets to Xiao Ai, and it was not easy to come to this place to buy a souvenir.

Uncle Maori naturally dismissed the things the proprietress said about mermaids: "How can there be such things as fish in the world?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a clerk in the store named Naoko Kuroe said: "There are really people in the world, because now there are real cases of eating mermaid meat and immortality."

According to her, the longevity woman who had eaten mermaid meat for immortality can impart the magical power of immortality with the dugong arrow made of hair that grows out of thought.

And she believes that the loss of such a miraculous thing by Menxie Saori will cause the mermaid's revenge, and it is precisely because of this that she escaped from the island.

Guangyou has reservations about the existence of mermaids. The world is so big that human beings are not omniscient and omnipotent. Perhaps there are real human beings in a certain corner of the world, or maybe they really don’t.

This is the same as whether human beings on earth are the only advanced intelligent life in the universe. The universe is endless, and human exploration is only a corner. How can human beings be sure that there will only be a life planet like the earth in such a large universe.

Guangyou sighed: "Human, we must have awe of nature. In front of nature, humans are like ants, weak and weak."
