Although Hattori Heiji and Conan are famous detectives, they don't have a good solution to the disappearance case.
Because if you want to solve missing cases, you still need to rely more on manpower and material resources, rather than pure intelligence.
If disappearance cases could be solved using intelligence alone, there would not be so many abducted children and women in the world.
"Heiji, this is for you!"
Toyama Kazuha walked to the deck of the cruise ship and handed the peace charm that he had worked so hard to get to the unhappy Hattori Heiji: "This is the peace charm that I begged for you from the longevity woman."
For Hattori Heiji, this trip to the American island did not even see Saori Kadori, his client, which was considered a huge failure, so he was inevitably a little depressed.
"Idiot! There are no mermaids in this world. Only a fool would believe in such a thing!"
Hattori Heiji complained impatiently on the surface, but his body appeared to be extremely honest, and he put away the peace charm handed over by Toyama and Ye.
"The legend shines brightly in the distant sky
There is a beautiful city
Faintly floating in the center of the clouds
I don’t know what it looks like, but I still can’t find its direction.
I wish I could fly to the sky
Find the place in your dreams
…”
A burst of ethereal and melodious singing suddenly came slowly from the distant sea. It was like hearing the sound of nature. The passengers on the cruise ship unconsciously showed happy smiles and listened attentively.
"Hei... Heiji, come and see, what is that?!"
Toyama Kazuha subconsciously looked in the direction where the singing came from, his eyes widened suddenly, he grabbed Hattori Heiji's arm, and shouted excitedly: "It's a mermaid, it's a mermaid!"
"How could there be in this world...fuck!!!"
Hattori Heiji looked impatient at first, but when he saw with his own eyes the strange creature with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish hundreds of meters away on the sea, his eyes almost popped out.
"Work...Conan, uncle..."
Hattori Heiji's face was filled with disbelief. He rubbed his eyes with his hands, turned to Conan and the others and asked, "Did you see clearly what that thing is? Could it be that I'm dazzled?"
(○o○)
Conan and the others were no better than Hattori Heiji. They also had dumbfounded expressions and their views were shattered!
Although there is still a distance of several hundred meters between the cruise ship and Yan Lingji, everyone can already clearly see her general outline.
Moreover, there were no other ships, cameras or directors around Yan Lingji. It was obvious that she was the legendary mermaid.
The most important thing is that the cruise ship has just left the American Island, which is famous all over the world for the mermaid legend.
Now that the legendary mermaid has been discovered in the waters near the American Island, it is simply not too reasonable.
"Really a mermaid!"
"Hurry up and get the boat over!"
"If I can be blessed by the mermaid, I will definitely live forever."
Other passengers on the cruise ship soon discovered the existence of Yan Lingji, and couldn't help shouting excitedly.
Suzuki Seimei noticed that some smart passengers had already taken out their mobile phones to take pictures of Yan Lingji, and felt a little funny in her heart.
Plop!!!
Following Suzuki Seimei's thought, Yan Lingji, who was singing, suddenly stopped singing, jumped up from the sea, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and then dived into the deep sea.
If there were still doubts before, when Yan Lingji rose into the sky and revealed her half-human, half-fish body in the air, all the tourists could conclude that she was the legendary mermaid.
When Yan Lingji dived into the seabed again, Suzuki Seimei directly recalled her into the system space remotely with a thought.
The reason why Suzuki Seimei asked Flame Reiji to come out like this was not simply to scare Conan and the others, but to take the opportunity to build momentum for Shimabukuro Kimie.
When the passengers who took the photos of Yan Lingji spread the photos of the mermaid, it will inevitably arouse more people's curiosity about mermaids, and even arouse the greed of many people, wanting to go to this sea area to catch mermaids.
.
It's just that the substitute of Yan Lingji has been recovered by Suzuki Seimei, so those people will definitely not be able to find the legendary mermaid.
If the mermaid cannot be found, then more people will definitely turn their attention to Changshou Po, and her status will naturally rise accordingly.
If the longevity woman takes the opportunity to show some magical abilities and deceive those visitors who are either rich or noble, she will definitely be able to establish a network of relationships that can cover the entire island country.
Of course!
To establish such a huge network of relationships with Shimabukuro Kime's own efforts is definitely nothing more than a dream.
Therefore, Suzuki Seimei asked Tachibana Maya to arrange a group of people to assist Shimabukuro Kimie as newly recruited employees of the shrine.
"It's all your fault for scaring the mermaid away with your yelling!"
"Fart! You were the one who screamed the loudest just now."
"Who told you to ask the captain to pull the ship over? It's strange that the mermaids won't be scared away when such a big cruise ship comes over!"
Seeing that Yan Lingji showed no sign of reappearing after diving into the seabed, the other passengers couldn't help but blame each other.
call--
Looking at the direction where Yan Lingji disappeared, Hui Yuan Ai rubbed Black Tornado's head vigorously, and then calmed down his emotions.
When Haibara Ai noticed Suzuki Seimei's calm look, she couldn't help but asked curiously: "Seimei, why don't you seem surprised at all? That was the legendary mermaid just now?"
"I don't think there is anything to be surprised about. After all, the world is so big. There must be many things we have never seen in the unknown areas that humans have not yet set foot on."
Suzuki Seimei shook his head and said: "For example, let's take the prehistoric overlord dinosaurs. If someone hadn't discovered dinosaur fossils, who would have thought that such a behemoth existed on the earth?
Therefore, I believe that some creatures in myths and legends are most likely real creatures that existed before, but later became extinct for some reason."
"..."
Hearing Suzuki Seimei's words, Haihara Ai was slightly startled at first, then nodded with some admiration and said: "What you said makes sense!"
Since Suzuki Seimei's voice was not deliberately concealed, Conan and the others naturally heard the conversation between him and Haibara Ai.
After being enlightened by Suzuki Seimei, Conan and the others suddenly felt that the mermaid that just appeared was not so difficult to accept, and they could just treat her as a newly discovered species.
