Conan: Death is Watching Me

Chapter 101: Invitation from Mermaid Island

Villa for rent.

noon.

Gao Mo leaned against the restaurant window, holding a reference book and projecting "The Medical Guide of the Mountain General".

Most of the content is about surgery and focuses on Professor Oyama's research area, but basic medical knowledge is also very rich.

Even when projected, one can seem to feel the heavy weight of the books.

I heard that medical students’ textbooks are getting thicker and thicker, and if you have a bad memory, you are not qualified to study medicine.

After flipping through it casually, Gao Mo felt a little relieved.

Fortunately, it was not too difficult for him to learn.

It should be said that with these projection books, it is not too difficult for him to understand the theory, at most it just takes some time.

His memory and logical comprehension abilities are now top-notch.

The trouble is practice.

He gradually had a feeling that these extracted books seemed to be just for the purpose of improving his knowledge level, without caring whether he could enter reality or not, and might even sacrifice some of his physical abilities.

Just like a magic book, it concentrates all resources to enhance mental strength.

If he hadn't drawn Director Ochiai's 5-star book, which was bound to "Growing Strong with Age", and hadn't exercised daily, he might have been weak until now.

"Kirouto," Ai observed secretly while holding the black cat, and finally couldn't help asking curiously, "The culprit is that Dr. Nakahara, right? Are you just going to leave it like that?"

If it were Conan, he would have exposed the murderer and called the police by now...

"I'm not a police officer, why should I care?"

Gao Mo looked up and out the window. Sonoko was waving goodbye to Kaori Nakahara who was driving away.

"If I take care of everything, wouldn't I have to send you, a former organizational scientist, into jail as well?"

"..."

Xiao Ai looked a little depressed.

There is no way to refute it.

No matter what the court decides, she will definitely go to jail.

but……

Looking at Kaori Nakahara who was in the car outside with a complicated expression and absent-mindedness, Xiao Ai hid a smile at the corner of her mouth.

This kind of detective seems pretty good.

Professor Oyama turned into an evil spirit after his death and attacked her... He was probably not a good person before he died.

I don't know what Nakahara Kaori is like, but at least she looks good...

"Could it be because she's a great beauty?" Xiao Ai was suddenly stunned, then turned to Gao Mo and said softly.

"How could that be? I've long lost interest in beautiful women," Gao Mo said, putting down the book. "Appearances are all empty."

"Huh?" Xiao Ai looked at Gao Mo in surprise, his face full of melancholy and stories.

It seems like she doesn't know Gao Mo that well?
"Why is Dr. Nakahara acting so strange today?" Sonoko returned to the villa, puzzled. "We had planned to go skiing together... Kido-kun, when are we going to the ski resort?"

"You guys go by yourselves," Gao Mo continued to flip through the book, "I don't know how to ski."

"I'll teach you! I'm a great skier!"

A succubus in Sonoko's heart kicked the angel away and screamed excitedly: The opportunity has come!
"Next time……"

Gao Mo stared straight at the garden.

Thinking of the text message that Yuanzi showed last night, his face looked a little strange.

Are high school girls nowadays so fierce?
"Then... then next time." Sonoko avoided his gaze and lowered her head with a blushing face.

The succubus in her heart roared again: "Waste! Coward! Why don't you come on!"

boom!
This time it was the angel who pushed the succubus away.

"Ai, shall we go skiing?"

"I want to accompany Amy."

Xiao Ai touched the black cat in her arms.

She had never seen that kind of evil spirit before, only occasionally encountered shadowy, mindless floating things.

This cat doesn't seem to be that simple.

The corresponding...

Xiao Ai glanced at Gao Mo again before going upstairs.

Gao Mo always likes to run to the crime scene - she can never understand how to avoid death...

If this method worked, Gao Mo wouldn't be the only exception now.

Could it also be related to ghosts? "By the way, Kido-nii," Sonoko followed Ai upstairs, then suddenly remembered and turned back, "the administrator just sent a package and asked me to give it to you. It seems to be sent from Mermaid Island..."

"Mermaid Island?"

Xiao Ai looked back in a daze in her slippers, and silently watched Yuanzi take out the package from the entrance.

The memories of the two lives were a bit distant, but she still had a deep impression of the name because when she was still a scientist in the organization, she had visited the island in person because of the longevity legend.

There is a legend on the island that eating mermaid flesh can bring immortality.

In the end, it was discovered that it was just a misunderstanding and the investigation was not continued.

What exactly happened at that time?

"Put it here with me."

Gao Mo's brows twitched slightly, and the moment he saw the package, a sense of familiarity came over him.

The long-awaited invitation to perform seems to have come again.

It seems that this is because he triggered the upgrade task of the actor profession - an excellent performance.

"Tear!"

After Xiao Ai and the other person returned to their room, Gao Mo opened the package with caution.

The inner envelope is still sealed with wax...

He didn't know exactly how difficult the excellent level was, but the two previous good evaluations were not easy to get, and they were both good ratings that matched his own profession.

The role playing profession has a huge impact on the evaluation.

"Fisherman?"

Gao Mo noticed the key information in the invitation letter before he read any other content.

This time, he is a young fisherman.

How to play the fisherman?

Gao Mo read the invitation letter from the beginning.

A piece of patterned colored paper, probably made by a woman, with beautiful handwriting.

Hopefully he will be able to go to Mermaid Island before the end of the month.

There is still more than a week before the end of the month, which is plenty of time. You can spend some time preparing well.

You don't have to play the fisherman in a comprehensive way.

If the disguise is good and not recognized, it should also improve the rating.

I have to ask Conan about his schedule in advance.

The outcome of the birthday party for the daughter of the Shijing Group is still unknown...

"Two people died?" Gao Mo called Conan and found out that a case had indeed occurred.

"Yes."

Dr. A Li's house.

Conan called back, yawning.

"I was busy all night yesterday. I finally got home, but before I could get much sleep, my uncle woke me up to watch Marseille... He slept well last night, so I had to catch up on some sleep at the doctor's place."

"The end of the month?"

Conan looked at a letter with the wax removed from it.

"Someone invited me to a garden tea party at the end of the month... I was invited by Kudo Shinichi, and they said they were my fans, and it was a big shot I didn't know. It was a bit strange, so I planned to find out more about the situation through my uncle."

"Garden tea party?" Gao Mo was relieved and reminded, "Don't forget to be more restrained in your reasoning. Don't let any rumors about Kudo Shinichi suddenly spread."

This guy really likes to show off, and his reasoning geek personality is hard to change.

Who knows what trouble might arise.

"Don't worry," Conan wondered, "Even if I don't pay attention to myself, I can't joke with Xiaolan and my uncle's safety... But then again, didn't that woman say she would develop an antidote? When will she start? It seems like she's staying with you and won't leave..."

"Something happened in the United States. Xiao Ai will probably stay in Tokyo from now on." Gao Mo looked upstairs. "As for the antidote, do you want to sponsor it?"

"I'm just a child now, how dare you ask me for money? I've even given away my family..."

Conan's cheek twitched.

"I'll ask my parents for help...but they receive so much attention, it might take a lot of time, and they won't be able to give much at once."

"The funds should be paid directly to the doctor, not to me."

Gao Mo thought for a moment and put down the phone.

He was not very interested in the antidote to the shrinking potion, and even doubted whether there was a real antidote.

I will study the role-playing tasks carefully in the next few days.
