Conan's Unscientific Detective

As for the previous phone call, it should be the call he received when he was carrying out the mermaid transformation project to help prisoners repent and be rehabilitated.

It’s just that Hattori’s description is a bit strange…

He was clearly carrying out a mermaid transformation project, which was a very serious job and the people being transformed were very happy, so why did he say it in such a veiled way?

Chapter 343 Gradually Becoming Like Fujino

Fujino felt that Hattori was born at the wrong time.

If this were the Internet age, with his ability, he would be able to make a name for himself on websites like First Moderator.

"You really didn't find anything?"

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but glance at Fujino.

He still recognized Fujino's abilities.

"It's not like we didn't find anything."

Fujino retracted his gaze and turned to look at Hattori Heiji. After thinking for a while, he said, "It's not that the information is useless. It can only be said that it is completely useless."

"No clues at all?"

Hattori Heiji was stunned when he heard this: "Logically speaking, it is impossible that there are no clues when someone is kidnapped in broad daylight... For example, the suspect's appearance, characteristics, etc., logically there should be eyewitnesses."

At this point, he frowned slightly and said, "Could it be that the guy covered his face and wore loose clothes?"

"That's not the case. He is not pretending at all."

Fujino put his hand on the railing and raised his chin: "The witnesses at the scene saw the other person's face... He was a black man."

"Black person?"

Hattori Heiji thought about it for a moment, but didn't react immediately. He said in confusion: "Could it be an African foreigner?"

"That's not it."

Fujino shook his head and explained, "We are not sure whether he is a foreigner or not. He just has dark skin. His face is so dark that you can't even see his features. In addition, he was wearing all black and was operating in the dark. So the clues from the eyewitness are useless. They only describe his black skin as a characteristic."

"You can't even see his face?"

Hattori Heiji was slightly stunned: "How dark would that be?"

"Well, it's hard to explain. If I were to give you an example..."

Fujino turned around, looked at Hattori Heiji, and said seriously: "It's darker than you."

Hattori Heiji:"……"

Why do you have to accuse me of such a case?

"Darker than Hattori-nii?!"

Conan on the side also seemed a little curious, lowering his head and thinking: "How dark would it be..."

Hattori Heiji:"……"

You are also blackmailing me?!

Is it wrong to be black?! Black is not his choice!

Hattori Heiji sighed softly and calmed himself down.

In fact, if you think about it, using him as an example is quite vivid.

Even darker than him...I can't even see his face clearly.

No wonder we can't gather any clues.

After all, when he got up at night before, his family members thought he was a ghost and were scared.

"Could it be that the person who answered the phone call to Hattori-san at that time?"

At this time, Conan thought for a while and suddenly mentioned it.

"Ah, I suppose so."

Hattori Heiji nodded, then frowned and said, "Did the robbers mention any demands? After all, it's kidnapping, so they should want something, right?"

“There is no news on this point yet.”

Fujino said: "After the kidnapping, the robbers seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and did not mention any conditions to the police."

"How could this be?"

Hattori Heiji was stunned when he heard this, a little puzzled, and then hesitantly said: "If it was really that guy who answered my call, so much time has passed and he hasn't made any requests, then Kyo Saori is probably in danger... Damn, if I had noticed this earlier..."

Conan also nodded, looking a little lost, and clenched his fists.

"You can't actually say he's dead."

Fujino suddenly interrupted and said, "The police haven't found Monkyou Saori's body yet, so it's not certain that she's dead yet..."

Menxie Saori is indeed not dead yet, and as the kidnapper, he knows it best.

He did not kill Menkyo Saori, he just broke her legs and threw her on the roof of an unfinished building.

As for whether he would die... he couldn't be sure.

However, with his skills, Menxie Saori will not die from serious injuries.

As for whether he would starve to death or be discovered, he was not sure.

"I think what Fujino-senpai said is right."

Xiaolan, who was standing by, listened to everyone's conversation and nodded: "Maybe Miss Menxie is not dead yet."

Conan and Hattori Heiji obviously don't know that Fujino is Xiao Hei.

The two of them just naively thought that Fujino was comforting them.

At the same time, I secretly sighed in my heart: Although Fujino is sometimes mean, he is really a good person sometimes.

"But since that Monkyou Saori is no longer on this island, is there any need for us to go to the island?"

Uncle Maori relit a cigarette, glanced at the small island not far away, and suddenly spoke.

He showed an indifferent attitude towards Menkyo Saori.

After all, that person was not his client. He was just a stranger at best. There was no need for him to invest too much emotion in him.

The reason he came here was purely to take care of this kid Hattori Heiji.

"Is necessary!"

Hattori Heiji cheered up again and said, "Although Monkyou Saori is no longer kidnapped on the island, she once said before she was kidnapped that she was about to be killed by the mermaid, so she must have had a premonition before... What's more, even if she was kidnapped, I should return the commission money to her family."

"Well, I think what Hattori-nii said is right."

Conan nodded and agreed: "Maybe after we go to the island and investigate, we can find out why Menxie Saori was kidnapped."

"Yes."

Fujino nodded and looked at the small island not far away: "Maybe we can really find out why Menkyo Saori was kidnapped."

…………

It was already noon when the ferry docked.

Since no one got enough rest last night, everyone decided to go to the hotel to rest first before making any plans.

Renyu Island is a small island, so naturally there are no good hotels.

The hotel that Fujino and his group stayed in was a small wooden structure that looked a bit old.

"Mr. Hattori Heiji, huh?"

The hotel receptionist was an old woman wearing a kimono and looked to be in her sixties. After Hattori Heiji gave her name, she took out the keys to three suites.

Maori and Conan live in one room, Xiaolan and Kazuha live in one room, and Hattori Heiji lives alone in one room.

The original plan was this.

But Hattori Heiji didn't expect Fujino to come along, so he could only smile and say, "Then you can stay in the same room with me tonight!"

"Forehead……"

Fujino glanced at Hattori Heiji with disgust written all over his face.

Hattori Heiji:"……"

So what's with that disgusted look on your face?

Fujino decisively decided to open another one and had no intention of letting Hattori Heiji lose his virginity here.

…………

In the afternoon, in the hotel room.

Hattori Heiji sat on the bed in the hotel, turned his head and asked Conan who had just entered the room: "What do you think of this case?"

"If Monkyou Saori's letter of entrustment really said that she would be killed by the mermaid, then maybe we can find some clues on the island..."

Conan sat on a chair nearby and thought, "By the way, is there anything else strange about the letter?"

"Yes, there is..."

Hattori Heiji thought for a moment, then cursed: "For example, the letterhead of the commission was your name, but the address was my home. I was very annoyed and wanted to tear up the letter directly... My home is not your exclusive mailbox, but after thinking about it, I should have told you. Who knew that you didn't take it to heart at all."

"Who would believe mermaids all of a sudden?"

Conan complained speechlessly: "If someone suddenly said that we were going to look for mermaids together, would you believe it?"

"That Fujino guy will believe it."

Hattori Heiji said seriously: "When Monkyou Saori asked that guy to find the mermaid, didn't he agree?"

"Forehead……"

"Okay, we'll find out after we investigate this matter."

Seeing Conan's ugly expression, Hattori Heiji changed the subject and asked, "By the way, why didn't you expose my mom's attempt to test you guys? Could it be that you didn't notice it either?"

"That's because there's no chance at all."

Conan calmed down for a moment, then seriously said: "Although I found some strange places on her body, and she was still lying, but there was no time at all."

Hattori Heiji thought about Conan's usual operation and said, "Why don't you just knock Uncle Maori out like you did before?"

"That guy Fujino is right there. I can't use my skills at all."

Conan was speechless for a moment, then sighed and shook his head: "And even if there is a chance, there is no need to expose her. Since she lied, she must have something to hide. She forcibly opened someone else's wound to see what is inside... As long as she has not committed a crime, there is no point in exposing her."

"Ok?"

Hattori Heiji looked at Conan, left and right: "Hey, have you been possessed by someone?"

Conan's face turned pale: "Huh?"

"I just don't think this is something you would do."

Hattori Heiji thought for a moment: "Why do I always feel that this sentence is said by Fujino? You have been with Fujino for too long and gradually become like Fujino, right? I tell you, if you become Fujino, I will break up with you on the spot..."

"Hey!"

Conan was speechless for a moment: "What do you mean you'll end our friendship right away if I turn into Fujino?"

"Well, that's hard to say."

Hattori Heiji thought for a moment and said hesitantly: "Although Fujino has a dark feeling, his personality is quite good. He has a very unique personality charm... If you become like that, it will probably be very bad."

"Uh... although what you said is indeed correct."

Conan raised his eyebrows: "So why am I so bad?"

"Heiji, are you two ready?!"

At this moment, He Ye's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"I see."

Hattori Heiji responded and turned to look at Conan: "Let's not talk about this for now, let's find out what Monkyou Saori meant by being killed by a mermaid."
