That can't be right, can it? Kudo is a famous high school detective on par with me, how could he not have the common sense to randomly lick something on the ground to figure out what it is? What if he licked heroin?

Hattori Heiji was greatly shocked by Koizumi Akako's answer.

He racked his brains but never imagined that Shinichi Kudo would stumble over such an absurd yet simple reason.

However, the girlfriend that Koizumi Akako mentioned is...

He stroked his chin before turning to look at Toyama Kazuha, who had been staring at them.

Kazuha Toyama noticed that Heiji Hattori seemed to have noticed what was happening in her direction, so she quickly turned her head away, pretending to look elsewhere. Then, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Heiji Hattori walking towards her.

For a moment she was flustered and at a loss, and her face turned slightly red.

All we can do is wait for Hattori Heiji to get closer and closer.

Then Hattori Heiji said this.

What are you doing here?

Kazuha Toyama: ?

Shouldn't I be here, at the bottom of the ship?

Toyama and Kazuha were somewhat hurt.

Then another person answered.

"Well, how should I put it, we came here to try the delicious food."

"As soon as the ferry arrived here, we heard about the series of vicious murders on the island. So we felt that safety was more important than our appetites, so we boarded the ferry that was returning."

It's a girl's voice, but it sounds much more mature.

Kazuha Toyama looked at the person who answered Heiji Hattori with some surprise.

She didn't know this person.

However, Heiji Hattori knew these two people very well.

The first time he teamed up with Shinichi Kudo, who had returned to his normal size, to solve a case was a heinous murder case involving these two people, or more accurately, a diplomat murder case.

These two people are Takayoshi Murakami and his lover, Sachiko Katsuragi.

The person who just answered Hattori Heiji was Katsuragi Sachiko.

As a native of Beika Town, she was naturally acutely aware of any danger lurking around her.

Sometimes, it's better to believe in the existence of danger than to dismiss it entirely.

Those Beika Town residents who firmly believed that heinous murders were merely low-probability events had basically all died on the side of the road, let alone Katsuragi Sachiko and Mura Takayoshi, who had personally experienced the diplomat murder incident.

"Want to come here and try some delicious food?"

Hattori Heiji raised an eyebrow.

"Why did you travel all this way just to try the food? I don't think the food here is that famous."

Judging from their status, these two can barely be considered celebrities in Tokyo.

Why would someone who doesn't like the various cuisines in Tokyo make a special trip to such a remote place?

Hearing Hattori Heiji's question.

Katsuragi Sachiko said matter-of-factly.

"Actually, it's not just about enjoying the delicious food."

"Has no one told you? I am actually a native of the American Island. I used to be neighbors with a girl named Kadowaki Saori. This is a kind of homecoming, a chance to reminisce about the taste of home."

“I remember Saori telling me back then that she had encountered some danger and misfortune.”

"I recommended you and Shinichi Kudo, two great detectives, to him, and said that Shinichi Kudo is the most trustworthy detective. So, did he write to you?"

Hattori Heiji:?

I was wondering why the letter they sent me had Shinichi Kudo's name on it.

So it was you who was behind this mess.

If you don't tell me, who will open your account and investigate where you actually live?

Do you really think everyone is Chen En?

Hattori Heiji was speechless for a moment.

Then he answered dryly.

“They wrote to us.”

"That's why I came to the American island."

Upon hearing this, Sachiko Katsuragi clapped her hands and said with some surprise.

"I see. How is Saori doing now?"

"I haven't seen her for a while, I wonder how she's doing now."

Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama exchanged a glance.

The two of them fell silent.

After a while, Toyama and Ye answered in a low voice.

"If the ferryman on the Sanzu River rowed fast enough."

"They should be doing well in the Court of Right and Wrong now, right?"

Katsuragi Sachiko:?

Your wording is a bit too euphemistic.

Why didn't you just tell me that it was Kadowaki Saori who died this time?

As expected, this country is still too dangerous. She had only been in contact with Kadowaki Saori for a few days when Kadowaki Saori suddenly died. She should continue traveling abroad and come back when the frequency of heinous murders here decreases.

But if I had known beforehand that it was Kadowaki Saori who died, I could have enjoyed a feast before I left...

What a pity.

Chapter 857 Pilot: What? Chen En owes more than one trillion yen?

"Mr. Chen En, you didn't tell me you were leaving this way?"

Kimie Shimabukuro's face turned somewhat pale.

She was, after all, the perpetrator of three serial murders, and in terms of courage, she was far more daring than the average person. Yet, even so, she couldn't help but turn pale, her hands trembled, and she almost ran away first.

In a physical sense, desire precedes action.

As is well known, there is no airport on this island.

In other words, even if a private plane came to this island, it wouldn't be able to land. Instead, they would drop down ladders for the passengers to climb up, which is exactly what's happening now.

If it weren't for the safety lock hanging around Shimabukuro Kimie's waist.

She's starting to suspect that Chen En is planning to just throw her into the sea halfway through.

"What are you talking about? Isn't this an airplane?"

"It's just climbing a ladder. You're going to find Orochi in the future, so be confident and don't embarrass yourself!"

Chen En said loudly.

He quickly climbed into his seat, then looked down at Shimabukuro Kimie, who was still climbing the ladder with trembling hands and feet. He narrowed his eyes slightly and reached out to grab the rope connected to the safety lock.

In the next instant, Chen En exerted force with his arm, so strong that he lifted Shimabukuro Kimie into the air and landed her on her seat on the private jet. He then pulled the ladder back, preventing the seat from being in direct contact with the outside air.

Sitting in her seat, Kimie Shimabukuro looked somewhat pale.

Her chest heaved, clearly still shaken.

If she were given another chance, she might think that there's nothing wrong with using a sewing machine. After all, having a skill means she'll never starve, no matter where she is.

That would be a waste of all of Mom's efforts.

The pilot sitting in the front gave a thumbs up and exclaimed in admiration.

"General Chen, your martial arts skills are unparalleled!"

Upon hearing this, Chen En waved his hand casually and said modestly.

"I don't know any martial arts at all, I just have superhuman strength."

Although he rarely encountered situations where he could overcome skill with brute force.

However, it must be said that...

Among the many extraordinary figures in the world of Detective Conan, he can be considered a numerical monster. Even if he abandons thinking and relies solely on his immense strength, his battle record would not be inferior to that of Makoto Kyogoku.

If someone actually tries to deal with him as a monster with a special mechanism, they'll suffer a great loss.

To punch him in two would be too lenient.

I heard what the pilot in front said.

Shimabukuro Kimie had just calmed herself down when she couldn't help but ask again in a low voice.

"Mr. Chen En, you have been swindled out of 1.777 trillion yen."

"They even have the money to buy a private jet and hire a private pilot?"

Chen En, the pilot: ?

The pilot was instantly terrified.

Then he adjusted his headphones, pretending that he hadn't heard anything, and secretly thought to himself that he would tell Suzuki Jirokichi about it later.

Let's see what Suzuki's advisors have to say.

Chen En's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

You're really something, bringing up the same thing over and over again. What's the meaning of that?
