Although Suzuki Seimei also knew the truth about the mermaids on the American Island, he still looked curious on the surface and said: "Heiji-nii, can I also go to the American Island with you? I haven't seen a mermaid yet!
"
"I can take you with me, but I advise you not to have high expectations. Things like mermaids are all meant to deceive children."
As a famous detective who believed in science, Hattori Heiji did not believe in rumors about immortality and mermaids.
"Thank you Heiji-nii."
Suzuki Seimei nodded obediently on the surface, but secretly cursed in his heart: "I wonder if you will be frightened and doubt your life when you see the mermaid with your own eyes?"
Since there are no mermaids in this world, it would be great if Suzuki Seimei created one himself.
In the "Blue Castle" case, Suzuki Seimei signed the third "Stand-in Doll" from the murderer.
Suzuki Seimei has been hesitating in her heart, what exactly should the third substitute look like?
With the two substitutes Tsunade and Aizen, they are enough to handle most things, but creating a third human substitute seems to be a waste.
Therefore, Suzuki Seimei planned to shape the third stand into a humanoid stand, such as a legendary mermaid.
The avatar is an existence similar to a puppet. It does not need to breathe air like a normal person and can live under the sea like a fish.
In addition, Suzuki Seimei also controls the perfection-level "Singing" and the adult-level "Diving". It is easy to pretend to be a mermaid in a fairy tale.
Of course!
Suzuki Seimei's desire to make the third substitute look like a mermaid was not just a whim, but had other purposes.
Ever since the system was activated, Suzuki Seimei felt that the world had become a little abnormal.
For example, the "Senior Brother Duan Shui Shui" mentioned by Mao Lilan before, as well as the fans who call themselves "Evil King True Eye" and "Jet Black Flame User", they all give Suzuki Seimei a very special feeling.
If Suzuki Seimei guessed correctly, the world he is currently in may not be the real "Detective Conan" world, but a comprehensive world that integrates many world views.
What's more, in the original plot, the world in which "Detective Conan" is set is not a pure world without demons.
For example, Kuroba Kaito's classmate Koizumi Anko is a witch with a mysterious temperament and the orthodox heir to red magic.
Another example is Hattori Shizuka, who was beaten to tears by a first-year junior high school girl when she participated in a kendo competition when she was twelve years old.
And the school girl who beat Shizuka Hattori to tears is actually Michiko Tatetsu, the mother of the male protagonist Tetsuken in "Legend of Swordsman", whose real name is Michiko Tsubaki.
"Legend of Swordsman", also known as "Nine Dragon Balls", is an early work by Gosho Aoyama, so it is normal for it to be integrated into the world of "Detective Conan".
Therefore, Suzuki Seimei can be sure that there must be many supernatural forces in this world.
Suzuki Seimei plans to make the third stand-in look like a mermaid, also to facilitate his contact with creatures with supernatural powers in the future.
In addition, there are many treasures such as shipwrecks in the ocean. Having a stand-in that can move freely on the seabed will also make it easier for him to collect those treasures.
…
next morning
Accompanied by the salty and humid sea breeze, everyone took a cruise ship and rushed to the American Island.
America Island was originally just a very ordinary island, but because of the popularity of the mermaid legend, the tourism industry here is very developed.
"What?! What do you mean Miss Saori Kadori's whereabouts are unknown?"
Hattori Heiji seemed particularly surprised after learning the latest news about Saori Kadori from the island staff.
Saori Kadori was the client who sent the letter of entrustment to Hattori Heiji, so after they landed on the American Island, they immediately went to the island staff and asked about this person's home address.
However, what Hattori Heiji and the others did not expect was that they would actually learn about the disappearance of Saori Kadori from the staff.
"Yes! She hasn't gone to work for three days."
On a small island like the American Island with few indigenous people, whatever happens on the island will soon spread throughout the entire island.
Therefore, the news of Saori Monori's disappearance is no longer a secret on the American island.
The reason why the residents on the island did not call the police was because Saori Kadori liked to disappear in the past, such as secretly taking a boat to leave the American island to go out for fun.
Hattori Heiji touched his chin and said: "If you calculate it this way, the time when she disappeared happened to be after she sent me the commission letter."
"Mr. Xiaolin, it's time for us to leave!"
"Okay, I'll be here soon."
The middle-aged man in a black suit first responded to his colleagues, then turned to Mouri Kogoro and the others and said, "Sorry, I have to prepare for the island's celebration.
If you want to find out about Saori, you can go to the souvenir shop on the corner and ask the owner there, Saori works there."
"that……"
Hearing this, Mao Lilan couldn't help but asked curiously: "Excuse me, what do you mean by the celebration you just mentioned?"
"Today is the day when our island holds the annual dugong celebration. You can also come and participate."
"Dugong celebration?"
"Okay, let's go to that souvenir shop and have a look!"
Under the leadership of Hattori Heiji, Suzuki Seimei and his group walked towards the shop selling tourist souvenirs on the corner.
Maybe it’s because this island focuses on the legend of mermaids, so the souvenir shops also sell all kinds of mermaid peripherals.
"In addition to the mermaid amulet, there are also mermaid suspender clips, but this is the first time I have seen this kind of dugong pie. It is really interesting!"
While Mouri Kogoro and Hattori Heiji were asking for information from the store proprietress, Mouri Ran and Toyama Kazuha took their three little ones to pick out interesting souvenirs in the store.
Yuan Shan and Ye stared at the box of dugong pie for a while, and asked curiously: "Xiao Lan, what is dugong?"
"Dugong is a mammal in the ocean, somewhat similar to a seal."
Mao Lilan smiled and explained: "It is said that dugongs are the prototype of mermaids, and there have been rumors that eating dugong meat can lead to immortality since ancient times."
"So this is ah!"
Hearing this, Yuan Shan and Ye looked suddenly enlightened.
On the other side, Hattori Heiji was a little confused and asked: "Madam boss, what is the dugong arrow you just mentioned?"
