I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

Then, Heiji Hattori scooped up Conan and rushed straight out the door.

This familiar feeling reminded Conan of when he used a baseball bat to enter that wondrous world.

He learned about the volleyball girl's true identity from Heiji Hattori in the baseball bat world.

He still hasn't told Hattori Heiji in the real world.

After this heinous murder is over, let's ask Hattori Heiji if it's true.

It just so happens that Toyama Kazuha is also on an American island.

There's no need for Hattori Heiji to confirm it after returning to Osaka.

Once we confirm with Hattori Heiji whether the volleyball girl is indeed Toyama Kazuha, and whether she possesses the white urna of a Buddha statue, then Chen En's theory of derivative worlds can be established...

However, Heiji Hattori had no idea what Conan was thinking.

He charged forward with a phase attack, taking Conan by storm.

In the blink of an eye, they rushed to the place where the crowd had gathered.

That's where the Ebihara family lives.

According to past customs, the islanders are holding a memorial service for Ebihara Tomi.

He and Conan discovered that Muzou Kadowaki was acting suspiciously.

Therefore, I left the memorial service at Ebihara's house early.

Kogoro Mouri and the others came after them.

It's unbelievable that such a heinous murder would happen near the Ebihara family's home.

This murderer is far too arrogant.

Kazuha Toyama followed behind and couldn't help but say something.

"Heiji, wait for me..."

He paused briefly to catch his breath, and when he looked up, he found that Heiji Hattori had already disappeared without a trace, carrying Conan.

It's just like the kind of person who steals a cat on the street and runs away.

However, Toyama and Kazuha stopped.

The owner of the stolen cat showed no intention of stopping.

Ran Mouri caught up with Heiji Hattori without stopping.

They disappeared from sight together.

Then there was Kogoro Mouri, who was also panting heavily next to her.

Kazuha Toyama: ?

Her gaze lingered briefly on Kogoro Mouri before she asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Mr. Mori, I heard that you used to be a retired police officer from the Criminal Investigation Department.”

"How come your physical fitness is about the same as mine?"

Mori Kogoro:?

The hero does not mention being brave.

And how could it be that my physical fitness is lacking? Could it be that your physical fitness is too high?

Have high school students really exceeded the standard to this extent?

At this moment, police officers from Fukui Prefecture have arrived at the crime scene.

They pushed aside the many islanders who were watching and came to the front of the fishing net.

He was then shocked by what he saw.

Naoko Kuroe is indeed dead.

Her body was tied to a fishing net, and there were deep marks on her neck, indicating that she had been strangled to death.

Fish scales were scattered all over the body.

Just seeing it makes one think of mermaid scales.

An absurd idea came to the mind of the police inspector in Fukui Prefecture.

Could it be that the killer was really a mermaid?

Heiji Hattori, carrying Conan, was already moving towards the seaside following the direction of the shoe prints.

They quickly followed the footprints that stretched towards the sea and arrived at the beach.

Then I noticed shoe prints with arrow marks on them on the beach.

"The Mermaid's Arrow?"

Conan said in a low voice.

"If we look at this trace..."

"After killing Naoko Kuroe, the murderer carried an arrow to the seaside, stepped on the arrow, and then entered the ocean."

"But there were no footprints on the beach nearby."

"Unless the murderer has not yet come ashore, it is impossible for the murderer to have actually entered the sea."

This is clearly unlikely.

Heiji Hattori reached the same conclusion.

Although he had no clue what to do.

However, judging from what he saw, he was certain that this incident was nothing more than a vicious murder orchestrated by someone else, and that there was no mermaid at all.

Because the footprints on the beach are not all the same.

Some of the shoe prints were noticeably deeper.

The other part of the shoe print was much lighter.

Do mermaids change their shoes before leaving the ocean after killing someone?

Do not make jokes.

If it really is true that mermaids come out of the sea, kill people, and then return to the sea.

What we're seeing now should be clear footprints, not shoe prints.

"Kudo, do you have someone you suspect in mind?"

Hattori Heiji asked in a low voice.

Hearing this, Conan thought for a moment.

He then pushed up his non-prescription glasses and said in a low voice.

"I have some plans in mind."

"However, we still cannot determine who the real murderer is."

"Let's go back to the crime scene first and collect more evidence..."

Conan hadn't finished speaking.

He and Hattori Heiji both looked up at the sky at the same time.

They weren't sure if it was just their imagination, but they thought they had just heard the sound of an airplane engine.

Could it be that a plane flew here?

That's impossible; there isn't even an airport on American Island.

There was simply no room for the plane to land.

It's probably just planes whose routes pass through here.

Even so.

But Conan still had some doubts.

Because he knew that Chen En had once used a private plane from the Suzuki Group to chase after a flight bound for Hakodate.

If it were Chen En, it wouldn't be impossible for him to force a plane to land on an American island.

But what did Chen Enlai want to do on American Island?

The mermaid he wanted wasn't here.

The so-called mermaids are just a hoax by someone.

Conan was still thinking when a familiar voice rang out from behind him.

"Mr. Hattori, Conan!"

"How did you end up here?"

Ran Mouri's figure gradually appeared in front of me from behind.

She appeared to be breathing smoothly, showing no signs of fatigue.

Looking at Hattori Heiji, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

When he first saw Ran Mouri, he felt that Ran was no ordinary person.

Now it seems that this was indeed the case.

This person's physical abilities are probably much stronger than his and He Ye's.

If we could also improve their fighting skills...
