Jiang Xia was startled and turned around to look at the dock.
He saw Yuan Shan and Ye standing below, waving hello to him.
She also held an Osaka friend in her hand who looked like she wanted to turn around and leave.
Jiangxia looked at Toyama Kazuha, and then at Hattori Heiji.
...This trip will definitely be very enjoyable.
Three minutes later.
Leader Luo Ben looked at the two strangers who appeared on the boat again, and his face turned dark.
He was already in a bad mood, but now he couldn't get angry at the stranger who knocked on the door, so the leader of the tribe decisively turned his anger on his own people.
Jiang Xia watched as the patriarch quarreled with his son-in-law, grandson-in-law, son, and granddaughter... Finally, after scolding his grandson who was hiding in the corner painting, the old man finally felt a little better.
Patriarch Luo Ben walked towards the cabin with his hands behind his back.
Before going back to the house to rest, he looked at Takehiko Aishiro, who was about to join the main family, and said, "Come here, I have something to tell you."
Takehiko Aishiro let go of Hatamoto Natsue's hand and trotted over nervously. The figures of an old man and a young man quickly disappeared in the corridor.
Behind them, Ichiro Ichiro, the grandson of the patriarch of the tribe, held a paintbrush and pointed it at the frame. The murderous aura in his body that was already high surged higher.
Jiang Xia looked at his swollen murderous aura, put his hand unconsciously into his pocket, held the stick, and wanted to stay near the source of the murderous aura.
However, before he walked over, Ichiro Etomoto seemed to have a premonition. He looked around cautiously and found no danger, but after hesitating for a moment, he silently put away the picture folder and returned to the cabin.
Jiang Xia watched him go away with regret.
…
The yacht is very big and the scenery on the sea is also very good. The only thing that is a little strange is that there is no crew on board such a large ship, as if it is driving fully automatically.
Jiang Xia hung up the phone on the boat and pretended to look at the scenery, while his eyesight shifted to the ghost, letting the ghost float to the cockpit to watch this rare scientific miracle.
Mao Lilan, Toyama Kazuha and Suzuki Sonoko went to the kitchen to help - Shoji Shoji, the second son of the patriarch, is a famous chef who occasionally appears on food programs. Mao Lilan has the habit of "wanting to chase stars when they see them", and the other two
Everyone was pretty much the same, so the three girls went to visit the celebrity kitchen.
On the deck a short distance away from Jiangxia, Hattori Heiji leaned on the railing and sighed towards the sea.
I went out properly and met Jiang Xia. There won’t be another case...
Conan knew what he was thinking. He patted Hattori Heiji's calf and comforted him: "It's okay, we are all a family on this ship."
Hattori Heiji's eyes became even more sad: "Don't you encounter too many cases where family members kill each other..."
"..." Conan felt it made sense, but he didn't want to admit it, "Don't curse others. It should be just an ordinary quarrel. Who has never had a quarrel in his family..."
After saying that, the two fell into silence again.
After a while, they decided to ignore this heavy topic for the time being.
Conan asked: "Why are you going to Mermaid Island? You're not going to pray for eternal youth, right?"
"How could I believe that kind of thing?" Hattori Heiji shook his head. He took out a commission letter and handed it to Conan, "It's because of this."
Conan took the letter and unfolded it, and found that there were only a few lines on it.
The person writing seemed to be in a panic and his handwriting was trembling. What was written above was:
[I will be killed by the mermaid, please save me!]
It is signed "Morisha Weaving" and there is a telephone number on the back.
Hattori Heiji looked at the signature on the letter: "I called her immediately after receiving the letter and asked her if she was being targeted, but she said that she 'lost the dugong arrow and will be killed by the mermaid'. Please
I'll do anything to save her.
"I suggested that she go to the hospital to register for psychiatric treatment, but she hung up the phone angrily..."
Conan: "..."
Although the way he spoke was a bit too direct, he actually agreed with Hattori Heiji's suggestion.
But Conan was also a little confused: "Then why did you come here specially? To supervise her medical treatment?"
I can't see that Hattori Heiji is so enthusiastic about this. If so, why not ask him to take Jiangxia to the hospital by the way... If I remember correctly, Jiangxia has not yet found a doctor again.
Hattori Heiji felt a chill for no reason.
He wrapped his coat tightly under the sea breeze, and shook his head under Conan's expectant gaze: "There was also a sum of cash sent with the letter. I couldn't find out the remittance address, and I didn't want the money, so I had to follow the address and return it.
She... happened to be a tourist resort there, so she just thought she was here for a trip."
…
When it got dark, several people returned to the cabin and entered the dining room.
In the kitchen, after the dishes that should be cooked were cooked and the dishes that should be stewed were finished, the three girls also returned to the restaurant.
The process of waiting for the meal was a bit boring. Natsue Yumoto sat beside the guests for a while, then found a pen and drew a family relationship diagram for the curious guests to pass the time.
Conan and Hattori Heiji looked at the drawings on the table and began to subconsciously draw hatred maps for the family in their minds - according to the scene they saw after boarding the ship, the Subamoto family has not been in harmony recently, and it looks like something big is going to happen.
I hope they are overthinking it...
Jiang Xia also looked at the drawings. He actually remembered the relationships and conflicts between these people: the patriarch of the family planned to wait until his granddaughter got married before announcing his will and leaving all the inheritance to Xia Jiang. The other people in the family were either very short of money or
He was angered by the leader of the clan. In short, this clan leader is in a very dangerous situation.
However, it was not these that would lead to the death of Patriarch Amoto, but his grandson, Ichiro Amoto.
Ichiro Emoto liked Natsue Emoto very much, and he had previously asked the leader of the Emoto clan to let the two get married. The patriarch did not agree, and habitually ridiculed him.
Ichiro Emotomoto then became murderous towards his grandfather, and decided to kill the clan leader and blame everything on Natsue Emotomoto's prospective husband, Takehiko Aishiro, to get rid of his love rival.
…
When it was time for dinner, everyone had already returned to the restaurant.
Only the leader of the clan, Ruoben, never showed up.
The steward went to look for him.
Not long after, the old housekeeper's frightened cry came from the corridor.
After hearing this iconic scream, Jiang Xia, like the other two serious detectives, pushed away the stool and ran following the sound.
When they arrived at the place, they saw the old housekeeper sitting at the door of Patriarch Yiben's room. He pointed to the open door tremblingly and looked at the corpse inside, speechless.
