The whistle sounded melodiously to the shore, and a short, fat, bald man stood on the pier.
The man looked at the group of people walking towards him. The first person was the high school detective from the West he was waiting for, Hattori Heiji.
"Hattori-san, you are late..."
The director of Nippon TV, Tsutsuo Hiroshi, who was responsible for picking him up, looked at his watch with a helpless complaint in his tone: "It's really troublesome... You should have come according to the prescribed time, our schedule is every minute...
"
"I'm sorry... we went in the wrong direction." Hattori Heiji apologized while giving Mouri Kogoro a sideways glance.
"Anyway, let's go to the island first. Everyone else has already boarded the boat..." Tsutsuo Hiroshi looked a little impatient and turned around to get on the boat.
Mao Lilan's face turned a little red, and she immediately stopped him: "Well, is Shinichi here?"
"Huh?" Tsutsuo Guangsheng turned around, his face a little stunned.
Toyama and Ye Mian added: "Kudo Shinichi! A high school detective from the East!"
"Oh... the student who serves as the representative of the East?" Tsutsuo Hiroshi thought for a moment, "I can't seem to contact him, so I'm not sure if he will participate..."
Mouri Kogoro asked another matter of concern: "But is there a place on that uninhabited island that can accommodate our travellers?"
Tsutsuo Hiroshi shook his head, reached into his arms and took out a piece of paper and handed it to Mouri Kogoro: "No... there is only one old hut on the island, so everyone who is accompanying you is invited to stay in this hotel tonight.
Well, I’ll pick him up after the filming is over tomorrow.”
"Oh, okay..." Mouri Kogoro thought this plan was quite good, and the accompanying people also arranged accommodation.
"Uncle, can I take this kid with me? He's like my assistant!"
Hattori Heiji patted Conan on the head and asked the director with a smile.
"But, yes, as long as you let him sleep in your room..." Tsutsuo Hirosheng thought about it for a while, maybe thinking that adding a child was not a big deal, so he agreed.
"But the ship is so big, why did you find a contestant from each of Japan's 47 prefectures?" Xiaolan and Kazuye looked at the luxury cruise ship behind the director and marveled at the generosity of this program team.
Hiroshi Tsutsuo immediately poured cold water on them: "No, this time we only invited representatives from the east, west, south, and north, a total of four people. This ship was only used as a gathering place because the target was obvious..."
He ran towards the stern of the cruise ship: "The boat we want to take is over here!"
"That's it!" He pointed to a speedboat and said, "Come on, get on the boat quickly, we are pressed for time!"
With that said, the director turned back to talk to the captain. Conan and Heiji looked at Tsuchio's back and started talking quietly.
"Let's talk about the Persuasion Department, do you know the director of Japanese TV station?"
"I don't know him. We just met for the first time. Before, he just asked me to recognize the uniform he was wearing from the Japanese TV station when we met..."
The two looked at each other, and just as they were about to follow the director onto the boat, they heard the voice of Yuan Shan and Ye behind them.
"Heiji! Since you are the representative of Kansai, I cannot forgive you if you lose!"
Her face was a little red, but she still said words of encouragement.
Hearing the words of his childhood sweetheart, Hattori Heiji moved the brim of his hat from the back of his head to his forehead: "Don't worry! I, Hattori Heiji, will leave proof of my existence!"
…
The yacht was sailing on the sea, but the atmosphere in the narrow cabin was a bit solid.
"In short, after arriving on the island, please stay in your room and do not go out before dinner, because all activities are scheduled to start after dinner, but you must not relax. Once you set foot on the island, the game will be over.
It’s begun!”
"Okay-" Nanatsuki Koshimizu, the southern high school detective representative wearing sunglasses and headphones, said while humming.
"Understood..." Detective Junya Tokizu, a northern high school student with an overindulgent look on his face, replied casually while operating the game console.
Hattori Heiji frowned slightly as he looked at the two people who looked completely unconcerned.
He originally expected to meet an energizing opponent here, but now it seems...
"But why did you bring me along? Are you planning to win by joining forces with me again?" Conan, who was sitting next to him, asked him in a low voice.
"No, no, it's impossible for Kudo Shinichi to come anyway, so I want you to join temporarily. After all, there's no point in letting me win easily. You are the only one who can evenly compete with me..." Hattori Heiji looked successful.
appearance.
"That's why you asked Xiaolan and the others to come together... you don't think I will take the initiative to follow such a boring plan?" Conan was speechless.
"Uh-huh..." Suddenly, Tsutsuo Hiroshi, who was usually in a good mood, made a nauseating sound.
"Are you seasick?" Junya Tokatsu raised his head and looked at him.
"Uh, no, it's because I was hungover. I didn't finish recording until very late yesterday, and then I went to drink a lot with the staff..." Hiroo Tsuchio explained.
"Oh - so you've reached your peak?"
"The pinnacle? No, no, I'm not going to the store on the mountain..." Tsutsuo Hiroshi didn't understand what this guy meant at all.
"I mean, uncle..." At this time, Koshimizu Nanatsuki also leaned on the large luggage bag of the Japanese TV station next to him and said to him, "Why don't you smile? You are so narrow-minded..."
"Laughing? Narrow-minded? Uh...were you telling a joke just now? Ha, ha ha ha..." Sweat was already dripping from Tsuchio Hiroso's face, and he smiled rather reluctantly.
In his heart, he couldn't understand what the two high school detectives said at all, which made him confused. He could only cover up his embarrassment with a forced laugh.
Koshizui Nanatsuki and Tokatsu Junya also looked at him and smiled.
"Yo..."
Hattori Heiji's casual expression just now disappeared. He sat up straight with a very interested expression on his face: "Those two people seemed to have a moment..."
"Well, yes..." Conan also nodded.
Unlike Hiroo Tsuchio, who didn't understand at all, they easily understood what the two high school detectives sitting across from him meant.
The other party's behavior made them realize that these two high school detectives who looked like they were traveling did indeed have a few tricks up their sleeves...
However, these short sentences can only tell that they are indeed real detectives and not in vain.
Both are detectives, and the two of them, East and West, have already ignited their fighting spirit - they don't want to lose to their peers in a duel between high school detectives.
