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

Koizumi Akako complained.

The moment Suzuki Group's private plane flew over the American island.

Chen En immediately deployed the hang glider and made an emergency landing with Koizumi Akako.

Even a flying magician couldn't help but scream in surprise at this situation.

Fortunately, no one else around could hear it.

Otherwise, we'd lose face big time.

Koizumi Akako, realizing what was happening, stared at Chen En with a disapproving look.

If we weren't still en route to an emergency landing...

She was about to use her invincible magic to give Chen En a mohawk hairstyle.

However, she felt something was off about the hairstyle.

Chen En's hairstyle is somewhat unusual.

On each side of his head, there is a pointed horn that sticks up, like a small ear.

I initially thought it was just because this person was too lazy to adjust their hairstyle, which is why there are two little points. But now it seems that this thing is like Ran Mouri's hairstyle, which is a fixed hairstyle.

Even the strong winds during a forced landing using a hang glider did not press down the two sharp horns on Chen En's head.

"Think about it, it makes sense. How could a small island with only mermaid festivals as its tourism industry possibly have an airport for us to land our planes? By the way, don't you know how to fly? Why don't you fly?"

Chen En, who was making an emergency landing using a hang glider, turned around and asked Koizumi Akako a question.

He found Koizumi Akako's reaction somewhat strange.

The Scarlet Witch can fly without a doubt.

But now it's him who's using a hang glider to make an emergency landing while holding Koizumi Akako, instead of this person taking off on their own and bringing him down with them. Isn't something wrong?

"Of course you need a broom to fly."

"Where can you find a wizard who can fly without a broom? Haven't you read Harry Potter?"

Koizumi Akako directly retorted.

Upon hearing this, Chen En was puzzled.

I know that Harry Potter's wizards can't fly without broomsticks.

But the wizarding world in Harry Potter doesn't exist in this world, so why can't they fly without brooms, and why can't you fly either?

So you magicians all have fairy tale-like abilities, and therefore inherit the flaws of fairy tales?

Thinking about this, Chen En recalled something.

It seems that's true.

The witches in those fairy tales all seem to be able to fly using brooms.

Even the witch in Tom and Jerry is no exception.

But this should be overcome with training...

After recalling the events in his mind, Chen En led Koizumi Akako to complete the emergency landing.

As soon as the two landed on the ground, Koizumi Akako dodged to the side as if fleeing, then glared angrily at Chen En before taking out the magical materials from her bag one by one.

Now comes the moment to witness a miracle.

Her gaze fell on the ground in front of her.

I did a quick estimate of the distance to the main site of the Mermaid Shrine.

He then quickly drew a six-pointed star magic circle on the ground.

She didn't even need to ask the islanders if there had been any serious murders recently.

The moment she landed, she could already smell that unique scent of death... Normally, she wouldn't be able to sense it, after all, she was a witch, not some hyena.

Fortunately, Chen En was there to help.

By taking advantage of Chen En's past experience with death.

Koizumi Akako could use Chen En as a casting material to sense whether any dead people had appeared within a certain range.

This can be considered making the best use of resources.

However, Chen En was unaware that he had been used as material for spellcasting.

He adjusted his headphones and noticed that the signal was very poor.

It seems that communication with him from Noah's Ark will be temporarily impossible.

Then, Chen En, who hadn't done this in a long time, pulled out a long stack of listening devices and tracking devices from his bat-shaped belt.

He quickly selected one and then took out the bugging device that matched Conan's blue suit.

Koizumi Akako, who had just been diligently creating ritual magic, was startled by Chen En's performance.

I almost mispronounced the incantation.

Startled, she quickly restarted the incantation.

However, some of her attention was still drawn to the bugging device and tracker in Chen En's hand.

Just how many listening devices and tracking devices did this person install?

Is there no moral bottom line for superheroes?

Oh, that's what Batman does in the comics, then it's alright.

Conan's voice slowly came through the bugging device.

"Sister Xiaolan, I'm fine."

The clip is clamping again.

Chen En reached out and pressed down the corners of his mouth that were slightly upturned.

Then the voices of other people came through the bug.

What caught his attention most was Hattori Heiji's voice.

"This incident was clearly not done by any mermaid."

"Although the murderer fabricated the illusion that he came to the fishing net from the sea, strangled Naoko Kuroe, and then returned to the sea, there are clearly two kinds of shoe prints on the beach."

Do you think a mermaid would deliberately change her shoes before walking back after killing someone?

"This is nothing more than someone impersonating a mermaid to commit murder."

Outside the memorial service of Hisumi Ebihara.

Hattori Heiji said with absolute certainty.

However, his words have drawn new questions.

The Fukui Prefectural Police Inspector frowned and asked.

"So how exactly did the killer leave?"

"You mentioned earlier that there are no footprints on the beach that indicate the killer came back from the ocean, right? The killer couldn't have stayed in the sea forever, could he?"

"Conservatively speaking, it has been more than 10 minutes since Naoko Kuroe died."

"If the murderer were still in the sea, he would probably be floating up by now."

Where can anyone hold their breath underwater for more than 10 minutes?

While it's not to say there's no possibility of using bamboo poles to store air.

But he had already asked the islanders.

All the islanders were nearby; not a single one left.

If it must be someone disguised as a mermaid who committed the murder.

The person who committed the murder was most likely Saori Kadowaki, who had previously gone missing.

"...What you said is indeed true."

Hattori Heiji touched his chin, looking somewhat troubled.

However, Conan, who had just returned to the scene, gleaned some very useful information from the inspector's words.

All the islanders were present.

So that means the murderer returned to the scene after killing the person, creating the illusion that he never left?

If we consider it from this perspective...

"So it really is the mermaids who kill, right?"

"Since the mermaid's curse exists, shouldn't the most urgent task now be to determine exactly how many people have drawn the mermaid's arrow? Otherwise, even more people will die, right?"

Kogoro Mouri put forward his own idea.

Upon hearing this, Kadowaki Muzo panicked.

If this group goes to the Rewind House and searches through that register, and finds that Kadowaki Saori also possesses the Mermaid Arrow, and then asks the merchant and discovers that I sold two Mermaid Arrows...

Wouldn't that make me a murderer again?

However, to his dismay, others did not seem to care about his opinion.

The shrine maiden of the Mermaid Shrine, Kimie Shimabukuro, nodded and spoke earnestly.

"The roster is in my house, please come with me."

Kimihiro Shimabukuro.

Like Naoko Kuroe and Toshimi Ebihara, who are both deceased.
