"Haibara, you... don't mind if Kojo kills someone, right?" Conan looked at Ai cautiously.

When Xiao Ai heard what he said, she was a little confused. What was he talking about?

"Ah, actually, in that situation, it's normal for Xiaocheng to take action. As a special agent, Xiaocheng must have done this kind of thing when doing missions, but there's nothing he can do about it."

Conan thought he was right, and gave Ai some earnest advice.

Ai was kept silent by Conan. He really didn't expect that one day someone would advise him about murder, and he didn't expect that this person was Conan.

Now she only felt that there was clear stupidity in Conan's eyes.

"No, what I mean is why do you trust Xiaocheng so much." Xiaoai interrupted Conan who was still telling the story.

"This...isn't this normal? Aren't we partners?" Conan looked at Ai suspiciously. Isn't Xiaocheng trustworthy? No, on the contrary, Xiaocheng is trustworthy.

"Are you sure that what Xiaocheng said about being an agent is true?" Xiaoai was really a little surprised.

Conan was distracted for a moment, then pondered for a while: "Indeed, it is difficult to judge whether it is true or false, and Xiaocheng does like to lie sometimes, and he tends to say some nonsense." Conan showed a helpless look.

He had long discovered that Xiao Cheng would sometimes say some very misleading words to mislead him, but he didn't pay attention to it at that time, firstly because it was rare, and secondly because...

Conan remembered the time when he had just become small.

In fact, I was very confused at that time and found it difficult to adapt to my identity as Conan. Then Xiaolan brought a child back to the office.

And this kid is exactly like him, trusts him, and helps him when he is investigating cases. I have to say, Xiaocheng's hearing is really useful.

He didn't know Xiaocheng's specific identity, and he also knew that Xiaocheng's identity as an agent might not be true, but he knew that Xiaocheng really trusted him. Isn't that enough?

During the time he spent with Xiaocheng, as a famous detective, was it possible that he couldn't see what kind of person Xiaocheng was?

As for Xiaocheng's identity, he didn't want to say it, and there was no need for him to ask.

People should keep their own secrets. Keep asking questions will only lead to a bad ending. What's more, Conan trusts Xiaocheng very much.

Conan only knows that Xiaocheng is Xiaocheng, there is no such complexity. Could it be that Xiaocheng would suspect him?

"Forget it, I'm sleepy. Please keep the noise down." Ai looked at the clarity in Conan's eyes, retracted her expression, put her hands behind her back, and walked towards the room with a cold face.

Conan was left standing there in a mess, a little confused.

And early the next morning, Xiaocheng and his group of six set out on a sea journey to the American Island, also known as Mermaid Island.

"You little brat, you have to thank me for being so rash as to say that you had to go to Fukui for a case. Just because I came with you doesn't mean we'll be fine." Kogoro leaned on the railing with a cigarette in his mouth.

He actually didn't really want to come, because in Kogoro's opinion, this dark-skinned boy also had some troubles.

Just thinking of what happened to the twin towers skyscrapers before, the dark-skinned guy kept talking for a long time, and finally said that he would cover all the expenses this time, so I agreed reluctantly.

"You don't have anything to lose. I'll pay for all the expenses anyway. Just treat it as a trip." Heiji smiled.

Xiaocheng looked at the seagulls not far above, and the sea breeze made him feel more energetic.

Conan was looking at the island not far away. The mermaid was about to be killed? Conan's mouth curled up slightly. Was it a code or a hint?

Erxiao also heard why the Mermaid Island got its nickname. It was said that it was because there was an old lady on the island who specialized in eating mermaid meat for a living.

At this moment, Xiaolan remembered that the old lady who caused a stir three years ago because of her longevity might be this person?

"That's right, I just hope to be as young and beautiful as her so that I can follow her." He Ye said with a smile behind her.

"Do you want to use your youth and beauty to tie Hattori down?" Xiaolan pushed herself next to Kazuha and looked at her with an auntie's smile on her face.

"Shh... they will hear us if we shout so loudly." He Ye's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.

Xiaocheng hugged the railing. What was going on? It was obvious that Kazuha had to come because Heiji wanted to come. Xiaocheng glanced at Xiaolan and Kazuha who were laughing and playing in the back.

To be honest, He Ye is full of vitality, lively and optimistic, a typical energetic girl.

Xiaolan and she each have their own charms. It's true that all the good girls in the world are picked up by detectives. Oh~ no, that guy Hakubatan is just a single guy.

Thinking about it this way, Bai Ma was quite pitiful. But speaking of it, he remembered that He Ye seemed to be a person with a very poor sense of direction. Xiao Cheng remembered a characteristic of He Ye.

It’s really interesting. It’s a bit of an exaggeration to say that Xiaolan has a poor sense of direction, because Xiaolan is just insensitive to directions, but she still has a sense of direction.

But for He Ye, sense of direction? Can that thing be eaten?

"Let me ask you, the person who asked you to come here, could it be that he wants you to help him find a mermaid?" Kogoro looked at Heiji. It couldn't be such a ridiculous request.

"On the contrary, the letter of commission only said a few simple words: the mermaid is about to be killed, come and save it." Heiji looked thoughtful, he didn't understand what it meant.

Xiaolan and Kazuha were a little surprised when they heard the mermaid's look.

"Hey, have you contacted the client to confirm this matter?" Kogoro thought this commission sounded like a prank.

"The one who sent me the letter, Saori, did leave a phone number for us to contact each other, but the second time I tried to contact her, I couldn't get through no matter how hard I tried. And the first time I got through, it wasn't working properly."

"Besides the sound of the waves, I only heard a woman's moaning. It was very weird." Heiji thought back to the first call he made. He suspected that something had happened to Saori Menkyo.

Xiao Cheng looked at the Mermaid Island getting closer and closer, and looked up at the sky. The weather was a bit cloudy, and it didn't look good. Thinking about what Heiji said, the first time he got through, the sound of the waves? Moaning?

The seaside? The dying moan? No wonder he thought so. He was sure that the person was probably dead.

When we arrived on the island, we heard from people in the relevant department that Saori Monkyo had gone missing, and that she had disappeared exactly five days ago.

That was the time when Heiji received the letter, which meant that something happened to Saori Menkyo after she received the letter.

Listening to what was said on the other side, Xiaocheng found that they didn't seem to take it seriously, especially when he heard that the neighbors on the other side said that Monkyo Saori thought that Monkyo Saori might have gone out for a boat ride.

Does Menkyo Saori often go out? Xiaocheng didn't think much about it, and the other side was soon called away because they needed to prepare for the celebration.

"Celebration?" Kogoro looked puzzled.

"Today happens to be the day of our island's annual Dugong Festival."
