Conan's organization will end sooner or later without me

Did his father also believe in these legends of eternal youth?

Toru Amuro couldn't understand why his old father would come specially to participate in this kind of festival, and luckily he happened to be in Yin Shuli's group.

Could it be that the person his father was investigating at that time was Yin Shuli?

Toru Amuro frowned and calculated carefully, that period should be one year before his father disappeared.

-

The next evening, at the entrance of Sumi Ebihara's funeral.

Amuro Toru signed his and Yin Jiu's names, "I didn't expect that we would end up attending a funeral, but the roster has been confirmed. Shall we go back after the funeral is over?"

"No." Yin Jiu washed his hands under the faucet beside him, and then wiped them with a dry towel, with a depressed expression on his face, "The most important link is still missing."

"Ok?"

"The mermaid's grave." Yin Jiu lowered his voice. "This is the destination of the second investigation. If there are any traces left from Yin Shuli's investigation that are inconvenient to be taken off the island, the most likely thing is that they were buried there together."

"But that kind of place should be very secretive." Toru Amuro also washed his hands and walked beside Yin Jiu.

"And if there really is something buried over there that cannot be known to outsiders, how are we going to get rid of Maori and the others?"

"I will find a way to locate the mermaid tomb first." Yin Jiu arranged, "After we complete the location, we will leave the island. When the storm is over, I will find time to come here with you."

"It seems like this is the only way."

If something goes wrong at that time, he will find someone to destroy the mermaid's tomb in advance.

Toru Amuro thought silently in his heart.

Conan and his group were walking in front of them. Because Toru Amuro was communicating with Yin Jiu, Conan was afraid of being exposed so he didn't come over and chose to observe quietly.

It was not until the two seemed to have finished their conversation that Conan casually walked around Yin Jiu's side.

"Brother Yin Jiu, have you found any clues about your mother?" Conan remembered that Toru Amuro was not present when the witch came over last night, but he could not rule out the possibility that he met with the witch in private this morning.

So he came directly to test Yin Jiu's progress.

"No progress. After all, this happened and I haven't had time to communicate with the witch." Yin Jiu looked innocent. "But I want to see the mermaid tomb. If my mother came to investigate, she would definitely be interested in mermaids."

But didn’t the case of the mermaid’s corpse only appear after Yin Shuli disappeared?

Conan narrowed his eyes. Yin Jiu was controlled by others. Perhaps he himself did not want this Amuro Toru to find his mother's whereabouts, so he deliberately wasted time like this. "Brother Yin Jiu, do you not want the agent to continue the investigation? So you deliberately delayed the progress?"

Conan stood on tiptoe and lowered his voice. Yin Jiu also lowered his head in cooperation. Then, the corners of his mouth raised an unfathomable arc, "Why do you think so?"

"Because you didn't bring your agent with you when you investigated Yin Shuli's clues the last few times."

And they all found clues quickly.

Conan felt that with Yin Jiu's sharpness, there shouldn't be no progress until now. Seeing that Yin Jiu didn't refute immediately, he continued to guess confidently, "So is that Amuro Toru a bad guy? You don't want him to know this?"

"You can't say that to his face." Facing Conan's increasingly serious expression, Yin Jiu reluctantly continued to lie, "There are still many things between him and me that we haven't told each other. If I share secrets now, I might suffer a great loss."

He did not deny Conan's judgment, but took over the conversation. After all, he was familiar with both telling a lie as the truth and telling the truth as a lie.

In this case, there is nothing wrong with letting the misunderstanding continue.

"I won't tell him." Conan's voice was mixed with subtle caution, and he tactfully put forward his own opinion, "But for Yin Shuli's information, I recommend you to look at the roster of previous years, maybe you will gain something. This is what Hattori brother told me."

"Well, thank him for me." Yin Jiu was slightly stunned, then nodded with a smile.

Yin Jiu was not completely brainwashed, and he might also be trying to find a way to leave the organization.

Conan suddenly felt hope burning in his heart. As long as Yin Jiu himself had this idea, he felt that sooner or later he would be able to rescue Xiao Jiu.

Yin Jiu had no idea about the optimism of the small sample. Seeing Conan running back to Hattori Heiji happily, he was also making plans.

Toru Amuro's behavior last night was too deliberate. Even when the two of them were chatting at night, he did not notice that Toru Amuro had checked the real names of other organization members.

But to be on the safe side, Yin Jiu still felt that someone needed to hold the other party back. At least he didn't want Bourbon to be involved in the process of killing Hattori Heiji.

Maybe it will affect his ability to last hit.

Then Conan's existence is very important. The little sample seems to have the magical ability to suppress all hostile forces. Perhaps Conan can help him successfully delay Amuro Toru.

Yin Jiu's wine-red eyes were pure and clear. He turned his head again and went straight to Yuanshan Heye.

"I'm sorry, Xiaojiu, I originally agreed to help you investigate your mother's case." When Yuanshan Heye saw Yinjiu coming, he felt a little guilty. He had come here to help someone with an investigation, but when he encountered the murder case of Hattori Heiji, he was completely caught up in it and forgot about Xiaojiu.

"It's not your fault that this happened. There's no need to apologize." Yin Jiu looked relaxed and didn't seem to have any bad intentions.

Yuanshan Heye felt even more guilty now and followed Yin Jiu all the way.

Although Toru Amuro came with Yin Jiu to investigate Yin Shuli, he did not completely ignore the murder case in front of him. On the contrary, he was subconsciously looking for clues.

When he turned his head again and found that the silly roe deer was gathered together with his classmates, Toru Amuro felt much more relaxed.

At least not with that unfortunate detective.

He also needs to speed up the progress so that he can have extra time to destroy the mermaid's tomb. Amuro Toru has a good idea in his mind.

The pit on Yin Jiu's side has also been dug.

When a fresh body was discovered and the case entered a new stalemate, Yin Jiu pulled Yuanshan and Ye.

"These are fish scales." Hattori Heiji picked up the tiny, translucent flakes from the ground.

"The victim also has fish scales on his body." Conan followed behind, deliberately gesticulating in a baby voice.

"Have the mermaids started killing people?" Yuanshan Heye was led by Yin Jiu to a place very close to the corpse, and hugged himself in fear.

"Don't worry, it must be man-made." Yin Jiu patted He Ye's shoulder to comfort him.

No! That’s not what the witch said yesterday!

Yuanshan Heye shook his head and wanted to refute, but when he saw Yin Jiu's pale and fragile face, the words he was about to say seemed to be stuck in his throat and couldn't be said.

Yin Jiu was originally waiting for Yuanshan Heye to refute, and then he would bring up the matter of the mermaid tomb. Unexpectedly, the little girl looked at him, and as she looked at it, Yuanshan Heye's name on the vampire charm panel moved forward.

This useless senior from Kansai fell completely silent.

What's going on, little sister?

"How about we go talk to the witch?" Yin Jiu chose another plan with an indescribable expression. "After all, she is the God-like lady of Mermaid Island. Maybe she knows some inside information."

"No, someone should be using the mermaid legend to commit murder." Hattori Heiji had finished examining the body and walked over to the two men.

These murders all seem to be related to the Dugong Arrow. For example, Saori, who disappeared at the beginning, fled the island because she lost the Dugong Arrow, and Sumi, who died later, was also the lucky one who drew the Dugong Arrow.

And the victim Naoko who is tied up here now...

Hattori Heiji took two steps to the side, pointed at the traces of sand on the ground and suddenly said, "Look at her feet."

Hattori Heiji traced the marks on the beach with his fingers. "This shape should be the dugong's arrow, but now the arrow is missing. I guess she may have had an argument with the murderer, and the murderer may have come for the dugong's arrow."

"Then if we determine who among the people present has an extra dugong arrow, can we identify the murderer, right?" Toru Amuro looked in the direction Hattori Heiji was pointing and proposed the quickest solution.

The residents of this island are overly superstitious about the legend of the dugong's arrow, and it might not be a good thing for Yuanshan and Ye to be hit by an arrow.

"It's better if you guys don't act alone next time." Amuro Toru looked at Toyama Kazuha meaningfully.
