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

Chen Nuo nodded and fell into deep thought.

"Don't worry, when we get back this time, I'll help you with a new round of elemental suppression," Shiho Miyano reassured Chen Nuo, thinking he was worried about being discovered by the organization.

But Chen Nuo was actually thinking about whether or not to tell Miyano Akemi that she was about to be killed.

After all, they are now partners.

Furthermore, if something really happens to Miyano Akemi, Sherry might do something irrational, which could potentially implicate him.

Finding another trustworthy partner is not easy.

Chen Nuo: "Your sister..."

"Chen Nuotongzhi..." Someone suddenly called him from outside the cave, and upon closer listening, it turned out to be more than one person.

“Looks like I’m lucky; it wasn’t the organization that came looking for me first.” Shiho Miyano smiled, then her expression immediately turned serious: “Don’t you dare have any strange ideas about my sister, or I’ll kill you.”

Chen Nuo was about to speak when he was interrupted by the rescuers.

Since that's the case, I should wait until I get back and think carefully about the best way to tell her. She might not believe me if I just tell her directly.

"What if your sister falls for me?" Chen Nuo asked curiously.

"impossible."

Shiho Miyano chuckled softly, picked up the socks that were drying on the tree branch, and put them on.

"Being too confident isn't a good thing," Chen Nuo said with a smile.

They were met by the island's rescue team, and Heiji Hattori and Conan also joined them.

However, the reason these two people also went into the mountains was because they thought Chen Nuo had discovered some secret clues and were afraid that he would be silenced by the murderer, so they followed him.

The local guide knew a narrow path that was passable even in the rain, and led Chen Nuo and the others around for most of the day, returning to the hotel close to night.

Chen Nuo and Shiho Miyano kept apologizing to everyone and even donated a lot of money to sponsor the celebration as compensation.

Of course, Shirley paid for all of this herself.

Because both of them had sustained minor injuries, they stayed overnight at the island's hospital.

The hospital is usually not crowded, so Chen Nuo and Shiho Miyano each occupied a ward.

After finishing his meal, Chen Nuo lay on the bed, smelling the faint scent of disinfectant in the air, and looking out the window at the stars, which were cleaner and brighter than those in the city.

Think about your future plans.

Perhaps the environment was too comfortable, because he drifted off to sleep after only a few minutes.

In the middle of the night.

Chen Nuo suddenly felt a pain in his ear, as if someone had slapped him.

Chen Nuo immediately woke up with a start.

Did the Black Organization discover his collusion with Sherry?

Or was it his act of going into the mountains to search for the mermaid's tomb that angered the murderer, so he came to kill him in the middle of the night to vent his anger?

Chen Nuo opened his eyes and looked.

He discovered that Shiho Miyano had somehow entered his hospital room and was sitting by his bedside.

She was dressed in a black leather bodysuit, like a female agent from a Hollywood movie.

The moonlight streaming in through the half-open window bathed her perfectly sculpted curves, as if coating them with a cool, white halo.

what's the situation?

Coming here in the middle of the night to offer yourself?

Chen Nuo rubbed his eyes, instinctively wanting to complain: Actually, I like maid outfits, bunny girl outfits are fine too... but was interrupted by Shiho Miyano.

"Put your clothes on quickly, I'll take you to see something fun."

"I'll say it with a mysterious look on my face," said Shiho Miyano.

The new entry for Chapter 34 is "Shura Field".

"I'll take you to see something fun."

If Chen Nuo were to say this, especially if he were to sneak into Shiho Miyano's room late at night, he would probably be easily mistaken for a pervert and kicked off the bed by her tiny feet that hadn't even had time to put on socks yet.

However, the reverse is not true.

Chen Nuo didn't think Shiho Miyano would be so bored as to flirt with him in the middle of the night. At least not for now.

Coupled with her strange attire, Chen Nuo felt that something must have happened.

Chen Nuo asked while yawning, "What fun stuff is it?"

“You’ll see when we get there. This is part of our cooperation. I need your protection now,” Shiho Miyano said seriously.

"Then why are you dressed like this?"

"To cover our tracks." Shiho Miyano said, picking up a bag from the ground containing a black leather jacket of the same style and tossing it to Chen Nuo.

After Chen Nuo changed his clothes, the two carefully left the ward.

However, upon passing the reception desk on the first floor, it was discovered that the doctor on duty was not there; a note was left on the table—[He went to attend the dugong festival. Please call 090xxxx if needed...]

The traditional custom of the Dugong Festival was that the festival would only be held on the night of the "Dugong Arrow" being drawn.

The dugong festival that is currently underway actually ended last night.

However, because of a fire in the shrine's warehouse three years ago, people found a body without foot bones in the warehouse, which was widely reported by a reporter who was traveling on the island at the time, who said it was the body of a mermaid.

Mermaid Island became an instant hit.

Therefore, the dugong festival has been held for a much longer period of time in the past two years.

Even during the preparation period, tourists came to the island to participate, exploring the mysterious mermaid legends and experiencing the island charm that is completely different from the big city. They also enjoyed eating freshly caught seafood every day.

In addition, the seafood on this island is really cheap, so even people who are not interested in the mermaid legend come to join in the fun.

For example, Uncle Mori.

The main reason Kogoro Mouri accepted Heiji Hattori's invitation was that he wanted to come over for beer and seafood.

Therefore, the dugong festival can last for almost a month from the preparation period to the final end.

It's almost like a mini-World Cup.

Although a murder occurred at the festival last night, it did not dampen the enthusiasm of the tourists.

Everyone continued drinking and enjoying the seafood, while chatting about Ms. Ebihara Sumi, who was hanged under the waterfall the previous night.

The sudden murder seemed to become the perfect topic of conversation over drinks.

Upon learning that no one was on duty at the hospital, Chen Nuo and Shiho Miyano became bolder.

After leaving the hospital, they walked along the path and soon disappeared into a more secluded grove of trees.

.

Conan is on his way to Toshimi Ebihara's house; he is not going to the festival with Ran and the others.

He was looking for clues.

Conan felt that this might be a chance for him to finally get his revenge.

Because Heiji Hattori is being pestered by his childhood friend who speaks with a strong Osaka accent, there has been absolutely no progress between them.

As for Chen Nuo, he spent yesterday taking his girlfriend to the mountains to take beautiful photos—that's how Chen Nuo explained it to others—and missed last night's murder.

In this way, Conan discovered that he had a great advantage.

While the duel between detectives primarily tests their intellect, observation skills, and logical reasoning abilities, other factors can sometimes play a significant role.

Women are such a hassle, Conan thought to himself.

In comparison, his childhood sweetheart Ran Mouri is more well-behaved and sensible.

Gentle and virtuous, a good cook, not clingy, beautiful, and with very fair legs...

The only flaw is that he had contact with Chen Nuo that went beyond the bounds of friendship, which Conan still resents.

He hadn't even held hands with him, yet that bastard...

But it's not her fault.

He could only blame that despicable black-clad organization for shrinking him, and Chen Nuo for suddenly appearing.

Conan felt that as long as he could trample Chen Nuo underfoot and wipe out the Black Organization, he should be able to overcome the hurdle in his heart.

Xiao Lan is still the same pure and innocent childhood sweetheart.

Thinking of this, Conan's desire to solve the case grew even stronger. Let this Mermaid Island be the beginning of his counterattack.

Even at the cost of his life, he would protect his sacred and inviolable domain.

For example, reasoning, and Xiaolan.

Just then, Conan suddenly noticed two furtive figures in the woods not far away.

The other person appeared to be dressed in black, with their face covered by a cloth, and was bending over as they walked deeper into the woods.

So suspicious.

Conan subconsciously thought of the group of people who had given him the poison.

Although the clothing style is not quite the same, since they are wearing black, it is worth investigating.

Conan put his phone on silent and quickly followed.

But as soon as he entered the woods, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, his vision went black, and a familiar feeling welled up in his heart.

This familiar feeling...

Could it be that Frankenstein monster who often knocks him unconscious and leaves him Kamen Rider cards?

Did he catch up with them all the way to Mermaid Island?

Shiho Miyano casually tossed the stick she had just picked up into the bushes, then subconsciously rummaged through her clothes.
