Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 903 A Coincidence by the Sea

"This is the so-called underwater ruins of the southern island..."

Standing on the edge of the coast, looking at the extremely high boulders protruding from the sea level, in this hot sea, wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt and slacks, which is a rare dress, Gao Yuan can't help but feel like this As he said that, he was thinking about what the so-called underwater ruins on the bottom of the sea under those boulders looked like——

"I really want to go and see..."

"In that case, let's dive in and have a look..."

In this regard, listening to Gao Yuan's words, Xiao Ai, who was wearing a lavender sleeveless camisole, light-colored shorts, and a sun hat, couldn't help but folded his hands in front of him, and suggested with a slightly deep smile.

"There's no way... I can't even swim, let alone dive..."

Speaking of such facts helplessly, Gao Yuan could only completely abandon the idea of ​​diving.

"Ala--"

Hearing this, upon hearing what Gao Yuan said, Xiao Ai smiled lightly, and asked a little teasingly:

"Mr. Detective, who can't even swim, why did he take over this seaside commission? It's not just about the underwater ruins, I remember it was mentioned in the commission that three divers are missing, right? They can't dive at all. How are you going to resolve this incident?"

Having said that, Xiao Ai can't help but recall that during the previous trip to Izu, when Gao Yuan faced the invitation of Tie Zhuyu and the others to go to the beach together, Gao Yuan directly chose to refuse, and after the incident in Izu was resolved, he never approached Going to the beach to play, it turns out that the root cause is this!

Thinking of this, Xiao Ai couldn't help but nodded silently, it seemed that after knowing that Gao Yuan couldn't even swim, Xiao Ai felt a little proud——

"After all, it's a well-paid entrustment, and I don't care about the round-trip travel expenses. Although I can't dive down in person, diving is not the only way to check the underwater situation..."

In this regard, Gao Yuan could not help but retort helplessly:

"But then again. This trip to the southern island, why did you come with me? I thought you would stay and take care of sister Ni..."

"It's just a few days' trip and it's not a problem..."

Faced with Gao Yuan's question, Xiao Ai said so, looked sideways at Gao Yuan for a while, and then said:

"Anyway, compared to the situation where you had an accident after leaving for a few days, and wanted to hide the truth from me... I think it is necessary to follow you on this kind of journey, in case you are plotted by someone again Woolen cloth?"

"Uh……"

Hearing Xiao Ai's mention of Hokkaido, Gao Yuan couldn't help showing helplessness, and couldn't help saying:
"Isn't this kind of situation rare?"

"Who can tell for sure?"

Responding like this, Xiao Ai turned her head and didn't say any more, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Seeing this, after seeing the boulders that are said to be relics exposed on the sea level, he felt that there should be nothing to see, so Gao Yuan had no choice but to say:
"Forget it... let's go back and find the village chief on the island who issued this commission..."

So Gao Yuan and Xiao Ai turned around and walked towards the small town on the island——

"But where did the three divers go missing?"

However, walking along the path along the coastline, when Gao Yuan and Xiao Ai passed by a small wooden pier in the fishing port here, they only heard two figures floating on the sea. It's the diver who's diving here—

"Yeah...but are three divers really missing?"

Immediately afterwards, a young female voice responded to the boy who raised the question.

As for this, after hearing these two voices, Gao Yuan couldn't help being startled. He turned his head and looked at the two people who were wearing diving suits and moved the diving goggles to the forehead. The two divers looked at——

"Hattori-san? Toyama-san? Why are you here?"

Surprisingly, after seeing that the two were actually Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha, Takato couldn't help but walked to the pier and asked the two people who were still floating on the sea——

"Oh? Isn't this the detective brother? And the little brother's family... Miss Xiaobudian is also there!"

Immediately, realizing that Takato had also appeared here, Hattori Heiji replied in surprise, and after seeing Xiao Ai, Hattori Heiji also thought about it for a while, and greeted Xiao Ai by the title of "Miss Xiaobudian" ——

"What's 'Miss Little One'! You've been picking nicknames again the next time!"

Hearing this, upon hearing Hattori Heiji's words, Yuan Shan and Ye couldn't help asking, but after looking at Xiao Ai, Yuan Shan and Ye couldn't help but smile kindly, and greeted Xiao Ai:

"Hello, little sister! Don't mind Heiji's words, he..."

But about this, before Yuan Shan and Ye finished talking, Xiao Ai just nodded lightly, and didn't pay any more attention to Yuan Shan and Ye's appearance, with a slightly indifferent expression.
Seeing this, Yuan Shan and Ye couldn't help but feel a little bit shocked, and couldn't help feeling in their hearts:

"This child seems to be difficult to get along with..."

In this way, it seems that because the diving is over, Hattori Heiji, Toyama and Ye both chose to climb up to the pier first, and then continued to talk with Takato——

"I was entrusted by the village chief of this island to investigate the underwater ruins here and the few missing divers. That must be the same reason for the detective brother to come here, right?"

After landing ashore, Hattori Heiji first asked Gao Yuan.

"That's right... It is said that this commission was originally intended to invite Mr. Mori Kogoro, but for some reason, the commission ended up in my hands, so I came here."

Nodding, Gao Yuan replied.

"what?"

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji seemed a little surprised, and then he began to look here and there, making the few people present a little confused for a while, and then it seemed that Hattori Heiji didn't see what he wanted to see, so he sighed:
"Doesn't that mean that Kudou didn't come either?"

"Um……"

Seeing that the other party wanted to see Conan, Takato probably understood that Hattori Heiji still wanted to compete with Conan, but since Conan really didn't come, Takato could only respond like this——

"Huh? The Kudo you're talking about... Could it be that Tokyo high school detective Shinichi Kudo?"

However, when several people were talking like this, a young voice came from behind them.

Turning around, I saw a young man in his 20s with short brown hair, sunglasses, and long-sleeved sports trousers for sun protection. He was a very dashing young man, and asked Gao Yuan road.

"Ah, no! It's just a guy whose last name is Kudo!"

In this regard, seeing someone come to accost and ask about Kudo Shinichi, Hattori Heiji rubbed the back of his head and prevaricated with a perfunctory smile.

Hearing this, the other party didn't show any surprise, just snorted softly, put his hands in his coat pockets, and said:
"Really? That's what I was thinking too much... But, you are also detectives invited by the village chief to investigate the incident? It just so happens that I am also—"

As he said that, the other party took off his sunglasses handsomely, revealing a delicate face, and with a smile on his face, he greeted everyone present with a little sass:
"My name is Nanatsuki Koshimizu... May I get to know you?"
