As soon as they arrived on the island, Hattori Conan, Kogoro Mori and others were busy searching for the missing Saori Monkyou, but Chu Ming didn't want to look for the missing person, nor did he want to help Vermouth dig a grave.

He knew that Vermouth arranged him here just to separate him from Conan, but he didn't know how Vermouth would feel when she found out that Chu Ming actually came out with Conan.

Moreover, when Vermouth mentioned the American Island before, Chu Ming may not have had any impression, but when Vermouth mentioned the Mermaid Island, Chu Ming's impression of this episode immediately emerged.

The so-called mermaid skeleton is actually the skeleton of the mother of Shimabukuro Kimie, the shrine maiden on the island.

The last longevity woman was Shimabukuro Kimie's mother. Three years ago, several young people in the village locked the longevity woman pretending to be Kimie's mother in a warehouse and set it on fire in order to verify whether the longevity woman was really immortal. Before she was burned to death, she called Kimie and asked her to continue pretending to be the longevity woman. After the fire was put out, people found a body without the lower body. The reason was that the load-bearing column collapsed and crushed it, but after media reports, it was said that the body of a mermaid was found.

So is there any need to dig up the grave? Not at all. He just needs to have fun for a few days, follow Conan to get some attention, and then throw the report that the mermaid incident is fake in front of Vermouth.

But... Gin and his friends have been here before, so there's no reason for them not to know that the so-called immortality is a scam.

Moreover, the news of immortality came out three years ago, so why did the organization only send people there a year ago? The organization shouldn't be so out of touch with the news...

Chu Ming felt that this mermaid island might be hiding some secret of the organization, or that Gin didn’t come here for the mermaids a year ago.

"Brother Chu Ming, we are going to visit the American Shrine. Do you want to come with us?" Conan tugged at the corner of Chu Ming's clothes, trying to wake up the dazed Chu Ming.

"America? What are we going to do in America - Oh, the shrine, go go go, I want to go too." Chu Ming just came back to his senses and didn't react for a moment.

At the American Shrine, everyone met Shimabukuro Kimie and asked about the news. Xiaolan and Kazuha also took a number ticket to draw the Dugong Arrow.

"Brother Chu Ming, the celebration won't start until the evening. Do you want to go to the island with us in the afternoon?" Xiaolan stretched out her hand to greet Chu Ming. Conan and Hattori were busy looking for clues. Maori Kogoro was going there too, but he found a tavern on the way and was toasting with people inside.

"You guys go shopping, I'll just walk around." Chu Mingwan declined Xiaolan's invitation. It was nothing for a grown man like him to mingle between two girls. Conan and Hattori would be jealous.

After everyone had gone far away, Chu Ming took out his cell phone and sent a message to Gin. He always asked questions on the spot and never put them off until the next day.

"Brother, what on earth were you doing on Mermaid Island a year ago? - Granburch"

As soon as the message was sent, Chu Ming's phone started vibrating before he could even put it in his pocket.

——Gin called.

Could it be that Gin thought it was too troublesome to type too many words so he just called directly? Chu Ming was a little curious and answered the phone.

"Big brother?"

"Why do you suddenly ask this?"

Chu Ming heard an uncontrollable groan of pain in the background of Gin's voice. He couldn't help but take out his phone and look at it carefully. It was indeed Gin's number, but... this...

He couldn't help but ask cautiously: "Uh, brother, if it's not convenient for you now, you don't have to answer my call. I can wait..."

Gin glanced at the FBI who was being interrogated until he was on the verge of death, with his hands and legs cut open until only bones were left, then looked at Lafitte, whose cheeks were covered in blood and eyes were full of madness, and turned around and left the interrogation room: "It's not inconvenient, Lafitte is interrogating the FBI, he has been like crazy these days, I don't know what's wrong with him. Are you on Mermaid Island now?"

It turned out to be an interrogation...

"Yes, the dugong festival here is about to begin. I came here for fun. Porter heard that there were some mermaid bones here, so he insisted that I bring some back for his experiments." Chu Ming said half-truthfully.

"It's fake. It's a woman's bone. And there's no such thing as a longevity lady. They're all fake."

"Oh, okay, didn't brother come here to check a year ago?" Chu Ming asked tentatively.

"No, the organization has long known that there are no mermaid corpses. A year ago, I went to the island mainly to contact the bigwigs who used to dominate Japanese political affairs, to win over Japanese political leaders and economic giants, and to put the organization above Japan's rules. Those old guys all want to live longer. The organization has been studying nothing but these things for half a century."

“Then the organization is now…” Chu Ming was a little surprised. He didn’t think the organization was so powerful in the animation. He didn’t expect that it had such a close connection with the political and business circles. They had woven a complex network of relationships, making the entire organization bizarre and mysterious. No wonder there were so many undercover agents. Was it possible that… the undercover agents were ostensibly there to infiltrate the organization to check on its movements, but were actually sent in by various forces to inquire about the anti-aging drug?

Chu Ming felt that he might have revealed the truth, so he did not continue talking. Instead, he changed the subject and chatted with Gin for a while. Gin, who could no longer bear it, hung up the phone.

After Chu Ming harassed Gin, he harassed Bourbon, then he went to tease Porter. Later, when he remembered that there was still Vodka to harass, he found that Vodka actually dared to hang up on him?

It must be Gin who gave him courage!

This is too much. He just wanted to find someone to chat with and kill time. How could you treat him like this!

When Chu Ming finally harassed his colleagues enough, it was already dark. All the dugong arrows had been drawn. Those who had drawn the arrows were ready to wait at the waterfall. Chu Ming followed the sound and walked towards the waterfall.

"Brother Chu Ming, you're back? What were you doing this afternoon? I didn't see you for a long time." Hattori asked curiously.

"I went for a walk around the neighborhood. By the way, where's He Ye? Why don't I see He Ye with you? Aren't you two always inseparable?"

Hattori smiled widely and nodded at the girl with a bright smile in the middle of the crowd: "She is over there. She got lucky today and drew the dugong arrow."

Chu Ming stretched out his hand and shrugged at Hattori: "Do you have a plan? Kudo has already confessed his love, what about you? Could it be that Kudo's children will be soy sauce in the future, and you haven't told Kazuha yet?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Hattori's face should have been flushed, because he looked embarrassed, but because his skin was too dark, it was completely invisible.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Conan was also a little embarrassed. How could they have a child...it couldn't be so fast...he just confessed his love and hadn't proposed yet.
