I'm in Detective Conan, but it's a chaotic battlefield.

"Don't say things that could be misunderstood." Shiho Miyano paused for a moment, then said, "I didn't make an appointment."

"What? You didn't book a hotel?!"

"What does it matter? There are so many hotels here, I can just pick one." Shiho Miyano's expression was calm, but her evasive gaze suggested that she had probably forgotten about it.

Having no other choice, Chen Nuo had to accompany her to find a hotel with available rooms.

However, perhaps due to the dugong festival, all the hotels on the island were fully booked.

I went to several hotels but couldn't find any with available rooms.

At this point, Shiho Miyano also felt a little embarrassed, and her expression became somewhat unnatural.

Upon seeing this, Chen Nuo kindly comforted him, "It's alright. If all else fails, I'll build a tent with branches and leaves. Living in the mountains will allow us to better experience the breath of nature."

A blue vein resembling the number # appeared on Shiho Miyano's forehead.

"By the way, do you want a grass skirt?" Chen Nuo continued sarcastically.

"Stop nagging!!" Shiho Miyano finally couldn't stand his constant taunts. "There are so many hotels here, there must be rooms available."

Chen Nuo shrugged noncommittally.

Fortunately, after asking at ten hotels, I finally found one with available rooms.

Upon entering, Chen Nuo saw Conan and his group, along with Osaka Black Chicken, who had just finished checking in.

Conan's face showed an expression that said, "Why did this bastard follow us here?"

Hattori Heiji's eyes lit up; perhaps he wanted to compete with him?

At the hotel bar.

Shiho Miyano leaned against the hotel bar, her toes lightly touching the ground, looking at the hotel owner with anticipation.

The heavily made-up innkeeper rummaged through her drawer for a while, then pulled out a dusty key, looking troubled. "We do have a room, but there's only one left. You should be able to manage, right?"

"No problem."

Shiho Miyano seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The hotel landlady said, "That room is a bit small, but I'll charge you a little less, that shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"No problem."

The hotel landlady added, "Also, the room is very small, so there's only one bed, and we only have one set of bedding left. I hope that won't be a problem for you."

The proprietress seemed to think that she and Chen Nuo were a couple.

“One, a bed…” Shiho Miyano hesitated.

Seeing this, the proprietress took out two boxes of rubber protective gear from under the table and placed them in front of her: "Consider this a small gift, how about it?"

"no problem."

Chen Nuo grabbed the keys and the two boxes of condoms from the proprietress's hand.

Chapter 31 Shirley's "crab meat" is super delicious!

Shiho Miyano stood in front of the hotel bar, turned around and looked at Chen Nuo with a questioning gaze.

Chen Nuo gently shook her head at her.

He gave her an expression that said, "I'm so tired, you can sleep on the floor if you really can't take it."

Shiho Miyano's expression softened upon seeing this.

I received a message from Chen Nuo: "It's okay, I can sleep on the floor. Business is more important."

So, the two checked in and headed to their room on the second floor.

However, just to be on the safe side, Shiho Miyano snatched the small box from Chen Nuo's hand.

The innkeeper watched the two leave, writing down their registration information as she muttered, "They seemed quite aloof, but I never expected them to be such proactive people."

The hotel looked quite old and wasn't spacious, but it was very clean. Besides the landlady, the hotel also employed several local female staff members. When Chen Nuo went upstairs, one of the female staff members was wiping the wooden stair railing.

After asking the other party for the room location, Chen Nuo found room number 9 on the second floor.

Their room was near the tool shed by the stairs, and it was probably built to make room for the tool shed, so it was much smaller than the other rooms.

The doorplate with the number 9 on it was covered in dust.

I guess few people would stay in this room during the off-season.

Just then, the guest in room number 8 next door suddenly pushed open the door and came out.

She was a sweet-looking girl who had her hair tied in a ponytail and secured with a yellow ribbon.

Chen Nuo just saw her with Hattori in the lobby. If he's not mistaken, it should be Toyama Kazuha.

Yuanshan and Ye smiled politely at them, then walked down the stairs.

Immediately afterwards, Ran's voice came from the room: "No, you can't. Go sleep with Heiji-nii."

"I don't want to, I want to sleep with Sister Xiaolan."

The sound of a fist striking a skull could be heard coming from inside the room.

Soon, Conan came out, clutching his head. He saw Chen Nuo at the door, glared at him resentfully, and then ran away.

Chen Nuo scratched his head, not expecting that this room was right next to Xiao Lan and Yuan Shan He Ye's.

I wonder if anything strange will happen tonight.

He inserted the key into the lock and gave it a gentle turn; the lock emitted a decaying, old mechanical sound.

The room was simply furnished with a single bed covered with clean white bedding and wooden furniture, giving it a distinctly Japanese feel. An unfamiliar green plant sat on the windowsill.

What surprised Chen Nuo the most was...

The air in the room was surprisingly good and very clean.

It seems that even if no one lives there, the owner still cleans the place every day.

Chen Nuo pounced onto the bed.

I stretched and rolled around on the bed, leaving my scent on the pristine white sheets.

Shiho Miyano stood at the door, looking at Chen Nuo who was "going back on his word," and couldn't help but frown.

She pulled her luggage into the room, took off her high heels at the door, stepped barefoot into the disposable slippers provided by the hotel, and then casually threw the boxed rubber item in her hand into the trash can in the corner.

Chen Nuo: "You don't like wearing raincoats?"

Shiho Miyano glanced at the clear blue sky outside the window and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Chen Nuo sighed, offering no explanation.

However, Shiho Miyano was exceptionally intelligent; after a few seconds of contemplation, she quickly realized what was happening.

Shiho Miyano walked to the bedside with a stern face, and a blush could be vaguely seen at the corners of her ears through her short brown hair: "Get up right now, this is my bed!!"

Chen Nuo: "Huh? Didn't I just tell you with my eyes that I needed to catch up on sleep?"

"Isn't that look in your eyes telling you you'll sleep on the floor at night?" Shiho Miyano argued.

You've misunderstood.

Chen Nuo buried her face in the pillow and deliberately made snoring noises.

Shiho Miyano grabbed a pillow, pressed her knees against the edge of the bed, and threw the pillow at Chen Nuo.

Just then, the door was pushed open.

Hattori Heiji appeared at the door, surprised, and said, "Eh? You guys play this during the day?"

Shiho Miyano blushed deeply.

She and Chen Nuo are still publicly considered a couple, so she could only explain, "No, no, it's just normal playful banter between couples."

Heiji Hattori didn't immediately grasp what "normal scale" meant.

He subconsciously put himself in the shoes of Yuanshan and Ye Ping and his own standards, and thus gave Chen Nuo a look of pity.

Chen Nuo interrupted, "What is it?"

Heiji Hattori: "I received a request, and I'm going to see the client now. Do you want to come with me?"

"of course."

Chen Nuo quickly sat up.

He remembered that a series of cases seemed to be taking place on Mermaid Island, which would be a good opportunity to capture miners.

Chen Nuo jumped off the bed and brushed past Shiho Miyano.

Shiho Miyano made the bed, then took out a document from her suitcase and began to read it patiently.

.

Chen Nuo left the hotel and walked along the path for a while before seeing Conan and his group standing under a tree by the crossroads, waiting for them.

Ran and Kazuha were among them.

I don't know if Ran is just bored or if she's here to keep an eye on Kogoro Mouri.

After exchanging greetings, everyone went together to the home of the client, Ms. Saori.

However, when they arrived there, Ms. Saori had already disappeared.

This greatly surprised Heiji Hattori and Conan, and both of them frowned.

Chen Nuo knew the truth, but since the real events hadn't started yet, he had to pretend to follow the investigation for the time being; otherwise, it would be too fake to directly reveal the murderer.

The subsequent afternoon of investigations yielded no useful clues.

Several people returned home disappointed.

Dinner was at a seafood restaurant next to the hotel, and surprisingly, Xiaolan and her friends also chose this restaurant.

It must be said that freshly caught seafood is indeed delicious.

Even Shiho Miyano, who usually has a small appetite, ate quite a lot.

Because they were worried that people from the brewery were watching them, Shiho Miyano and Nuo Chen continued to pretend to be a couple.
