Chapter 905 The Legend of "Giant Rock"
There is a clear desire to win and lose on his face, and it seems that even the depression of Kudo Shinichi's absence has been swept away. Hattori Heiji said this, as if he felt that detectives from all over the world gathered at the same time on this small southern island , such a scene is also unprecedented——

"Since everyone is here for the events on this island, how about we simply compete? Let's see who can unlock the whole truth first!"

Proposing so, Hattori Heiji said with a confident smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Well...Xiaosheng feels that this is indeed an interesting proposal."

When Shi Jin Junzai heard this, he also seemed very interested and said.

"Indeed, such an opportunity is rare."

Looking around at the people present, Koshimizu Nanatsuki couldn't help but say.

As for this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw that this was specious, but it seemed to be like the incident called "Detective Jiaziyuan" in the original work, with four detectives from east, west, north and south gathered together. —

It's just, is it a coincidence this time, or is there someone's deliberate arrangement?
So, facing such a situation, Gao Yuan just smiled back, but did not expressly express his participation in it——

"Haha, this is really a reassuring scene..."

However, at this moment, an old man with white beard and hair, a slightly fat figure, and wearing a short-sleeved shirt came from behind the crowd with a smile, looked at Gao Yuan and the others who were communicating by the pier, and expressed such emotion :
"With the help of a few of your detectives, I think these issues on the island should be investigated soon..."

At the same time, a middle-aged man with a beard appeared alongside the old man.

"Mr. Village Chief, and Mr. Xiaobin..."

In this regard, seeing the appearance of these two people, Yuan Shan and Ye on the side recognized them, and greeted them first, and the rest of the people also nodded their heads——

After all, this old man is the village head of this island and the client who issued this commission invitation, so everyone who came here as a detective knew the village head.

However, Gao Yuan and the others did not know the middle-aged man whom Yuan Shan and Ye called "Mr. Xiaobin"——

"How is it? How does it feel to dive here?"

Following Yuan Shan and Ye's greetings, the man called "Mr. Xiaobin" responded to Yuan Shan and Ye with a smile, and asked about the diving here just now. Yuan Shan and Ye them.

"It feels very good! And being able to visit the underwater ruins in this way is really an eye-opener!"

Yuan Shan and Ye responded with a smile.

In this regard, Mr. Xiaobin couldn't help laughing:

"Yes! It's rare that there are underwater ruins here, and divers from all over the country have been attracted here! But it's quite rare for someone as young as you two to have such good diving skills."

"Ah, this..."

Hearing Mr. Xiaobin mention this matter, Yuan Shan and Ye explained with some embarrassment:
"Because in the previous summer vacation, Heiji and I learned diving together, and also passed the entry-level diving certificate, so diving in this kind of offshore waters is not a rare thing for me and Heiji..."

"Hey... Hattori-san, who is this Mr. Obama?"

In this regard, seeing Toyama and Ye chatting so familiarly with this Mr. Xiaohama, Gaoyuan couldn't help but curiously asked Hattori Heiji beside him, although it can be roughly guessed based on the content of their conversation, There is a high probability that the other party has something to do with diving——

"Oh, Mr. Xiaohama, he is the manager of the diving shop on this island, and he specializes in renting diving equipment such as diving suits and oxygen cylinders."

Facing Gao Yuan's inquiry, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but give an answer:

"Because of the investigation of the underwater ruins, I went to his shop with He Ye earlier to rent diving equipment such as diving suits. Unexpectedly, because I heard that He Ye and I were detectives who came to investigate the underwater ruins. Mr. Xiao Bin generously confiscated our rent and lent us the diving suits, so He Ye has a good impression of Mr. Xiao Bin."

"oh, I see."

Listening to Hattori Heiji's explanation, Takato couldn't help but nodded——

"Oh? You guys know how to dive?"

However, it seems that after hearing their conversation, Nanatsuki Koshimizu couldn't help saying in surprise:
"If you're investigating underwater relics, being able to dive really has a huge advantage! In this way, it seems that this competition is a bit unfair from the very beginning... It's sloppy!"

"However, three people have disappeared one after another recently, making the guests afraid to come, and the business on our island has become quite deserted..."

And when the few people were talking, following the conversation between Yuanshan and Ye and Mr. Xiaobin, the topic naturally shifted from diving to the three missing persons. This made the village chief and Mr. Xiaobin feel uncomfortable Feeling a little emotional about this--

"If we don't solve this incident, our tourism industry, which has flourished because of the discovery of the underwater ruins, will probably decline in a short time. That's why I thought of inviting detectives to investigate these things...

"It's just that, as expected, Mr. Kogoro Mori, the great detective, did not accept the commission..."

Regrettably, Mr. Village Chief told the four detectives the whole story——

"Then there's no need to entrust so many detectives at once, right?"

Because from the village chief's words, he heard his disappointed attitude because Mori Kogoro didn't come, Hattori Heiji asked a little depressed.

To this, the village head replied:

"So, because of the lessons learned from the past, I'm not sure whether you big detectives will accept the commission, so I simply invited all of you. I didn't expect you all to come."

Immediately, hearing the village head use the term "big detective" when talking about himself and others, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but show a complacent expression on his face.

"It turns out that's the case... that's why we invited so many detectives at once..."

After listening to the other party's explanation, Gao Yuan couldn't help analyzing——

So, it just happened to be a coincidence that these detectives just gathered together this time?
"However, then again, this ruin has nothing to do with the diver's disappearance, right?"

At this time, Junya Tokitsu, who was on the side, came here to participate in the investigation of the incident because he traveled here after seeing the news. Theoretically speaking, he did not belong to the detectives he invited as mentioned by the village chief, so he was a little out of place. Then I tried to change the topic, and turned the topic back to the incident itself——

"We thought so too."

In this regard, facing Shi Jinjunzai's question, the village head just said so, but judging from his tone, he was not particularly sure.

"Really……"

Hearing the village chief's response, Shi Jin Junzai couldn't help thinking.

"So, are there any records on the island about the underwater ruins found here?"

At this time, Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked this question.

"Have."

Sure, the village head nodded, then pointed to the boulder protruding from the sea level that could be seen from a distance on the sea and said:

"It's the legend of 'Giant Rock'..."
