Chapter 3166 3178 [Dragon Palace Island]
Suzuki Sonoko asked back, "Horse mackerel?"
Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at her with some surprise in their eyes: This stupid classmate actually found this keyword? Could it be that after staying next to Jiang Xia for a long time, she can really be immersed in the atmosphere of reasoning?
The next moment, Suzuki Sonoko slurped her saliva and said, "That's delicious! Let's grab some and grill it."
Conan: “…”
Hattori Heiji: "..."
"Sure, but that kind of fish is hard to catch." The deputy captain thought she was joking and laughed twice. He looked at the two young sailors next to him and said, "You are both fishermen. You should have been to this island before."
"Of course." The young man with shoulder-length hair raised his hand and pointed, "I remember there is a great diving spot a little further from here. We used to go there often."
Huang Mao said regretfully: "But ever since the body was found on this island, our friends who went diving with us have always felt scared and no one dares to come."
Seeing that the topic was drifting further and further away, the program director looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I will confirm the live broadcast schedule for tomorrow with Mr. Jiang Xia and Mr. Hattori. You guys can go around the island and find some places with special scenery.
"This is a rare opportunity. We must find the best scenery and revive this quiet island completely!"
As he said this, he smiled at Curacao.
Curacao silently pushed the gold-rimmed glasses without prescription on his nose: "..." It seems that the program director already knows the purpose of "Ms. Shirai" going to the island. As expected, those who deal with smart people are usually smart people too.
The four locals then remembered that they were here to work, not to have fun. They nodded and turned to look for their favorite attractions.
The program director looked at the four people and said with a smile, "This is a rare opportunity. You can go out and have some fun - but just hang out on the beach. Don't go into the forest. If you're not familiar with the terrain, it's easy to get lost there."
Curacao didn't even have to think for a second: "Let me join you. I'm also curious about the process of solving the case."
——Humph, what a joke. Anyone who has studied Uzo a little bit knows that being scattered everywhere means a lot of danger.
It was uncertain whether any of the four people would be able to return alive. Even if they did, they would certainly be regarded as murderers and face the suspicion of being searched by the police...
Hearing her decisive decision, Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at each other and their hearts sank: "..." Oh no, it turns out that they are targeting Jiang Xia!
Suzuki Sonoko was originally very interested in this island and was planning to take Mao Lilan to the shore to collect shells and catch two fish if she was lucky. However, now...
She looked left and right, her eyes wandering suspiciously between Curacao and Jiang Xia, and then she made a quick decision and stood still: "Then I'll stay too! I'm also curious about the process of solving the case!"
This island is indeed interesting, but the island is here and cannot be moved away. At worst, I can come here alone to visit it later.
What needs to be done now is... to prevent this woman who suddenly appeared from extending her evil claws to her high school classmates!
Curacao, who was being stared at by her, said: "..." What? Are you unwilling to accept that I have discovered Wuzo's trick? ... How long have you been a lackey? Are you so loyal?
Hattori Heiji and Conan: "..." Judging from Sonoko's performance alone, she is truly the main force in fighting the Black Organization and protecting Jiangxia... Fortunately, her thoughts are very easy to understand, and they are all written on her face, so that suspicious lawyer shouldn't think too much about it.
Next to her, Mao Lilan also looked around. Although she didn't understand anything, she remembered that a shriveled corpse had been lying on the land under her feet a while ago.
Plus the ghost stories I heard on the way here...
A female high school student who was afraid of ghosts felt a chill on the back of her neck and shuddered. She quickly said, "I'll stay too!"
"This..." The program director was not surprised by the choice of "Ms. Shirai", but was a little surprised by the decision of the two high school girls - the island has lush vegetation and high-quality beaches, not to mention the scenery. He thought that children from big cities would definitely like it when they saw it.
"Is this island really just ordinary?" A director questioned his own judgment, but since things had come to this point, he could only nod and bite the bullet to proceed as planned. "Let's talk about tomorrow's live broadcast first."
…
The director walked around several spots with Jiang Xia, Hattori Heiji, and the four little followers who followed him closely, explained the precautions, and finally said, "That's about it."
Hattori Heiji nodded perfunctorily, he had little interest in filming. Now, apart from the suspicious Miss Shirai, he was only concerned about one thing - what did the two lines of words on the back of the corpse mean?
Everyone returned to the boat and waited for the staff to return.
Hattori Heiji pulled Conan and hid far away on the diagonal line of Jiangxia, making sure that no voice would suddenly come out of the sky to answer him when he was talking to himself. He then murmured with relief: "The princess rests here, it is A, not B... Literally, it means there are two places A and B, and the 'princess' is at place 2, not place 1."
Conan: "That's too literal. Can't you analyze it a little deeper?"
"Ah?" Hattori Heiji slammed the book shut and was about to ask loudly what he had come up with that made him say that. However, he glanced at Jiang Xia in the distance and lowered his voice, "You're just talking about me. You should use your brain to think about it."
Conan confessed, "I can't think of it."
Hattori Heiji: "..."
...Is this the high school detective who has been beaten by Jiang Xia all the year round? Fortunately, he is not in Tokyo, he must not become like this salted fish.
Next to them, two high school girls wanted to play with their cell phones, but suddenly found that there was no signal.
After a moment of boredom, they also participated in solving the mystery. Mao Lilan thought: "Could this sentence mean that 'the princess's sleeping face is the most beautiful in the world'?"
Suzuki Sonoko was inspired and blurted out: "It may also be that the princess is usually the most beautiful among all the beauties, but the way she sleeps is unsightly!"
Hattori Heiji: "..." This is a puzzle, not a reading comprehension exercise! What are you two doing!
He couldn't help but want to join the discussion, but before he could open his mouth, the two high school girls had already lost interest in the puzzle.
"Why haven't you set sail yet? Aren't all the people here yet?" Suzuki Sonoko looked around, counted on her fingers, and finally found out who was missing. "Why hasn't that dark-skinned sister boarded the ship yet?"
