Chapter 441 Preliminary tasks before the main task
The "yellow will" in this mission should be the King in Yellow - Hastur.
The creature Hastur wanted to hunt was the kind of "fish-headed man"-like creature seen on the Pacific Ocean.
Later, Qin Zhibo heard from the fishermen who rescued him that Fukui County holds a celebration to appease the "mermaids" around this time every year.
In fact, after landing ashore, Qin Zhibo also investigated some information about the "Mermaid Celebration".
The place where the Mermaid Festival is held is America Island in Wakasa Bay, Fukui Prefecture. It is located near the outlet of the Kuzuryu River in Fukui Prefecture. Legend has it that there is a 130-year-old old woman on the island.
The secret of this old woman's longevity is eating "mermaid" meat.
When the Mermaid Festival is held every year, there is an endless stream of tourists on the American island. On the one hand, they want to see with their own eyes what the oldest human being on the planet may look like, and on the other hand, they want to get the "Dugong Arrow".
It is said that the hair of the longevity mother-in-law is tied on it, and whoever gets the arrow seems to be able to stay young forever.
Of course, this event has not been held for many years, so it is not yet clear whether this method is effective.
This is the information Qin Zhibo has so far.
If possible, Qin Zhibo would like to take advantage of this year's mermaid celebration to go to the American island to visit this longevity woman who has eaten "mermaid" meat.
Qin Zhibo picked up the phone and called the village office on American Island according to the consultation number posted on the TV advertisement.
"Actually, a celebration warm-up event is being held on the island right now. If you want to come, you can come now."
The civil servant at the village office made it easy for him, but in Qin Zhibo's case, the error of two or three days may be half a month to a month.
Qin Zhibo needs a specific time for the mermaid celebration.
"The specific time is the last day of the week."
Weekend, this is a very unfriendly word for Qin Zhibo.
Because there are many weekends in Qin Zhibo’s week.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Zhibo thought carefully.
In order to prevent yourself from missing the celebration, you must use others as "time measurers".
As long as you go to the American Island with people from this world, you won't miss the celebration no matter what, otherwise there will be a real bug.
But who to choose?
Aso's hospital has opened. He is the only doctor in the hospital and cannot get away at all.
Matsumoto Ryohei's art museum is also open as usual, especially on weekends, which is the peak period for the art museum, and he is inseparable as the director.
And if Matsumoto Ryohei is really brought there, Qin Zhibo is afraid that he will have the idea of tasting the meat of "Longevity Po".
In addition, Koizumi Aniko and Shinami Kahori should have time, but when Qin Zhibo scanned the [Friends] column of his network, he found the best candidate.
Kudo Shinichi!
That is Edogawa Conan!
For Qin Zhibo, if he brings Conan with him, not only can he correct his sense of time, but he might also be able to get a free side mission with the "power of death".
This is very important for Qin Zhibo, who has a huge demand for proficiency this week.
Grasp the main tasks and side tasks at the same time, both hands must be strong!
Arriving at the door of the Mori Detective Agency, Qin Zhibo knocked on the door, and the voice of Kogoro Mori immediately came from inside.
"I am currently receiving important guests, please come again next time!"
"Dad, this is too rude, at least"
Mao Lilan opened the door and realized that it was Qin Zhibo who came.
"Mr. Qin, why are you here?" Mao Lilan was a little surprised.
For the Maori family, although they often meet Qin Zhibo on various occasions, this is the first time that Qin Zhibo takes the initiative to visit them.
Qin Zhibo glanced inside and saw a well-dressed Mouri Kogoro sitting on the sofa, receiving a very charming woman.
The woman was wearing a dark kimono and happened to look at Qin Zhibo who was standing at the door, allowing Qin Zhibo to see her message.
Shizuka Hattori, housewife, social credit 2700.
"Do you have guests here?" Qin Zhibo asked.
Seeing his counterpart, Kogoro Mouri immediately declared his sovereignty in a high-spirited manner, "Yes, this lady is here to entrust me."
Miss?
Qin Zhibo frowned in confusion and looked at the ages of Hattori Shizuka and Mouri Kogoro respectively.
Shizuka Hattori, 42 years old; Kogoro Mori, 38 years old.
That's not a lady, that's your sister!
"Mr. Qin, what can I do for you?"
Facing Mao Lilan's question, Qin Zhibo glanced at Conan next to him, who happened to be in the office as well.
This will be easier to handle.
"I do have something to do, but since you still have work here, I'll wait here for a while."
Upon hearing this, Mao Lilan immediately invited Qin Zhibo in enthusiastically.
"Please come in, please come in."
In this way, Qin Zhibo also joined the entrusted auditorium.
However, in order to gain the initiative, Mouri Kogoro stated sternly that this lady was here to entrust him, so.
"Don't worry, the commission fee will be yours." Qin Zhibo immediately responded.
But the case belongs to me
Due to the addition of Qin Zhibo, a listed detective, Hattori Shizuka once again stated his commission, which was to find his classmates in middle school.
"We were all members of the Kendo Club back then, and this photo is from that year."
Hattori Shizuka took out a photo from his handbag and placed it elegantly on the coffee table.
"The one holding the winning trophy is the person I'm looking for. His name is Shibata Shiro."
"Oh." Mouri Kogoro, who had his own LSP eyes, looked at a beautiful girl with ponytail hair next to him, and asked: "What about the girl next to her?"
"I'm sorry to say it, but this girl is me. This photo was taken 30 years ago."
Hearing this, Mouri Kogoro screamed in surprise at first, and calculated in his mind that the other party's age should be over 40 years old now.
Hattori Shizuka also nodded and admitted, "Yes, I am 42 years old."
42 years old, female of the right age!
Mouri Kogoro felt happy in his heart, but he still pretended to be serious and asked the other party for various personal information.
Although Mouri Ran kept making trouble by saying "My mother is like this too", Mouri Kogoro still asked for some useful information.
For example, my hobby is knitting, but I am not very good at cooking. I can even cut my fingers when handling fish fillets.
But the most important thing for Mouri Kogoro is that this lady is still single as of this year.
Qin Zhibo: What a single housewife
"Haha, no one knows how to appreciate such a beautiful lady like you. The men around you are really blind!"
Mouri Kogoro didn't notice anything strange at all, so he joked, while Maori Lan followed suit.
"Yes, yes, just like my mother, I really don't understand how someone can't appreciate it?"
"Have you had enough?"
Mouri Kogoro threw a half-moon eye at him, and Mao Lilan also hit back with a half-moon eye.
At this time, Hattori Shizuka coughed twice, indicating that his bronchial tubes were naturally sensitive and he was not suitable for the environment here, so he wanted to change places to continue chatting.
"In that case, let's go directly to Shibata Shiro's home and go there to chat."
Qin Zhibo suddenly stood up from the sofa, surprising everyone.
"Do you already know Shibata Shiro's home address?"
"Not yet, but since Mr. Shibata's kendo level is so good, he should be active in the kendo world now, right? Maybe his name can be found in the event information of recent kendo competitions."
