Shizuka Hiratsuka doesn't understand love!

It was still Shizuka Hiratsuka's familiar seat in the tavern. It could be said that since Shizuka Hiratsuka came to the tavern, this seat had inexplicably become the exclusive seat for her, Fatty, and Huajian Yingluo.

"Tsk, although I know this ability is very convenient, but Master Hua, you really enjoy it. Do you maintain a high-intensity monitoring state every day?" The fat man sitting opposite Hua Jian Yingluo said in a strange tone with a subtle expression.

He was also one of the few people in the tavern who dared to joke with Huajian Yingluo.

"Because Brother Jing is very interesting~" Instead of getting angry at the strangeness in the fat man's words, Huajian Yingluo smiled cutely.

"Besides, I don't go when Brother Jing is home. I only follow Brother Jing when he leaves the black cat to protect his safety~"

"You have a clear division of labor..."

"Do you want to go with us?" No one responded to the fat man's complaint, but Old Kong at the counter raised his head and looked at Huajian Yingluo.

"After all, if the distance is too far, it will take time for me to get over there. It has been confirmed that Brother Jing has been targeted by Saki, so we have to take precautions." Huajian Yingluo nodded with a smile, swinging her calves.

"No matter what he wants to do, as long as I can make him feel troubled, I will be happy~"

"That's true, but if you go there, you'll be too conspicuous. Besides, I need your help with something." General Kong nodded slightly and looked away.

"Huh?" The fat man blinked blankly and pointed at himself innocently.

"Brute force, you go for a walk."

Chapter 166: Fujiko Discovers a New Target

"This kind of island surrounded by water, I still remember when I was little, I used to fantasize about owning an island of my own when I got older, and living a leisurely life there."

Leaning against the railing on the deck, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at the Moon Shadow Island that was getting bigger and bigger in her sight and shook her head with a smile.

"Oh, Xiaojing, do you like this kind of life?" Standing next to Hiratsuka Shizuka, Fujiko's eyes lit up.

This is a good idea. If we can have our own island, then no one will disturb Shizuka Hiratsuka and I no matter what we do.

Moreover, the island can be planned by themselves, and the two can build their love nest bit by bit and construct every building with their own hands.

Finally, one that belongs to both of them...

His mood was more exciting than the waves that the boat broke through. Fujiko secretly decided in his heart that the next goal of his action would be to find an island.

But I still have to find a way to ask Jing baby which location she would prefer for an island.

However, compared to Shizuka Hiratsuka's enthusiasm, Fujiko's enthusiasm because of Shizuka Hiratsuka, and Ran who was standing on the boat and looking at the surrounding scenery with great interest, the performance of the two male group was much more dull.

Not to mention Conan who looked idle, and Kogoro Mouri who was leaning against the railing with sorrow, constantly complaining about why he had to travel so far to work on weekends, and he had no mood to look at the surrounding scenery.

"But speaking of it, this commission is really a bit strange." Turning around and leaning her elbows on the guardrail, Shizuka Hiratsuka recalled the commission that Xiaolan had shown her when she went to pick up Xiaolan and the others this morning.

"Let's not talk about anything else. The fact that the other party mailed the commission document first is strange enough." Looking at the tired-looking Kogoro Mouri with a somewhat amused look, Shizuka Hiratsuka spoke with a smile.

"How does the other party know whether Kogoro-kun will deduct the commission fee and then not care at all?"

"Dad would not do such a thing." Shaking her head gently, Xiaolan originally wanted to support her father here, but the moment she opened her mouth, the memory of Kogoro Mouri's usual performance came to her mind, and the words she spoke became erratic.

"Xiao Jing, what do you mean? Do I look like the kind of person who takes benefits without doing any work?" After glaring at Shizuka Hiratsuka unhappily, Kogoro Mouri walked to the bow of the ship angrily, looking at the island getting closer and closer in front.

"Once we get to the island, I'm going to quickly find out who brought me to this remote place with this commission! I want him to know the fury of a famous detective."

"Famous detective, Kogoro-kun has also started to care about this kind of reputation." Shizuka Hiratsuka scratched her hair helplessly. Speaking of which, she also felt a little strange. Obviously, the business of Kogoro Mouri's agency was not very good in the past, but in the recent period, even if she didn't pay special attention to it, Shizuka Hiratsuka seemed to have noticed that Kogoro Mouri's name began to gradually appear in newspapers and news.

"A late bloomer? That's not the case. Aside from being a bit of a scoundrel, Kogoro-kun is quite intelligent." Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Kogoro Mori, who stood silently at the bow, with some curiosity, and didn't bother to think about such complicated matters.

Shizuka Hiratsuka still trusts Kogoro Mori very much.

Although Kogoro Mouri usually behaves in an impulsive manner and makes people feel that he is not serious, Shizuka Hiratsuka knows that Kogoro Mouri is always very sensible when dealing with people who are close to him and important to him.

Just like today, Fujiko and I drove to pick up Kogoro Mori and the others to take the boat to the pier.

Originally, it could be said that he was too lazy to hide his lustful character. Whenever he saw a good-looking woman on the street, he would stop to admire her for a moment and comment on her. However, when he saw Fujiko, he did not show any stupid look at all.

After nodding and greeting Fujiko very calmly and politely, until now, Kogoro Mori has not looked at Fujiko in any way that would inappropriately cross the line.

"Finally got off the boat!~" Unlike the somewhat depressed Kogoro Mouri, Ran treated this outing as a family trip.

After the boat docked, Xiaolan jumped down the stairs lively and said with some joy as she looked at the village on the island in front of her.

"On an island like this, I think the pace of life should be much slower than in Tokyo. It should be a good place for retirement." Shizuka Hiratsuka slowly walked down from the boat, casually looked around the village which made a good first impression, and nodded slightly.

"Xiao Jing, if you like playing on the island, why don't we go together next holiday~" Wearing big sunglasses on her face, Fujiko walked to Shizuka Hiratsuka with a smile and naturally put her arm around Shizuka Hiratsuka's arm.

"I know a place that rents island villas. We can go check it out when the time comes~"

"Oh, that sounds great." After hearing Fujiko's words, Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes lit up.

If it were an island villa, it would be very interesting.

"Let's talk about it later. Plans can never keep up with changes." Although Shizuka Hiratsuka was somewhat tempted, she did not immediately agree to Fujiko. After all, if you calculate the time, when the school has another winter vacation, she should receive regular contact from her master.

If the master asked me to go back to the village, I would have no way to refuse.

Well, there's no way to take Fujiko with me.

Not to mention, it would be great if Shizuka Hiratsuka could gain some results from her own investigation during this period. If not, returning to the village to ask her master would become Shizuka Hiratsuka's last resort.

"Well, Xiaolan, we won't go with you from now on." Seeing Kogoro Mouri reluctantly getting off the boat, Shizuka Hiratsuka turned her head and spoke to Xiaolan.

"You guys go investigate. Bu...Fengzi and I will look around. Call me if anything comes up."

"Okay, Aunt Jing, then we'll contact each other by phone later." Xiaolan nodded with a smile. She had no intention of trying to keep her. She was already very surprised that Shizuka Hiratsuka agreed to come along. Xiaolan would not do anything that would involve Shizuka Hiratsuka, who had no interest in investigating the case.

Originally, when Xiaolan came to Tsukikage Island this time, she also intended to hand over the work to Kogoro Mouri and take Conan and Shizuka Hiratsuka out to play, but unfortunately.

Glancing at the listless Kogoro Mouri, Xiaolan shook her head in frustration.

"Dad, let's go. We've already collected the investigation fee, so we have to work hard!"

Chapter 167: People should have some dreams

"It's exactly what I thought. Just by looking at it, I can tell that the pace of life on this island is much slower than in the city."

Walking aimlessly on the village road with Fujiko, Shizuka Hiratsuka casually looked at the surrounding scenery and buildings, and spoke with a smile.

"But it's not as quiet as I imagined." Fujiko shifted her beautiful eyes slightly to the side, glanced at the election propaganda vehicle that just passed by her, and shook her head with amusement.

"He's just a village chief, but he's so formal."

"Well, what we care about is different. After all, people like us who have no interest in being an official certainly don't care. But for those who want to pursue a career in politics, even if it's just to be a village chief, they have to work hard to fight for it." Shizuka Hiratsuka shrugged casually. After walking for a while, the novelty in her heart had disappeared.

After all, it is just an ordinary island village, and it is not a place run as a tourist attraction. Although the relatively different styles of buildings made Hiratsuka Shizuka feel refreshed, there was nothing curious about it after looking at it for a while.

"Fujiko, let's go inside the mountain and take a look." After walking a few steps forward, Shizuka Hiratsuka slowly looked at a tree-lined fork in the road leading to the mountains.

"If Jing baby wants to go, I can go with you."

"Okay, let's go for a walk." Hesitation is not Shizuka Hiratsuka's style. Since Fujiko has no intention of refusing, Shizuka Hiratsuka took the lead and took the first step.

I have to say that the feeling was completely different after we walked into the woods.

The village was clearly just a few steps away, but blocked by a thin layer of trees and shrubs, Shizuka Hiratsuka seemed to have come to a different world.

"Speaking of Fujiko, I remember you seemed to have said that when I asked you to help investigate something before." Shizuka Hiratsuka's pace gradually slowed down, and her mind became clearer in this quiet environment, and she suddenly thought of something.

"What's that... thing you got from Neon?"

"Dark web~" His eyes changed slightly, and Fujiko nodded with a smile.

"Yes, I remember you said someone answered you, saying that the shinbone-smacking behavior is consistent with the legend of the Neon Monster?"

"Yes, it is difficult to collect such widespread intelligence. I applied for the intelligence transaction with the idea of ​​casting a wide net." Fujiko said with a chuckle, taking off the sunglasses on her nose.

"As I told you, there was absolutely no direct intelligence. The only thing we learned was this somewhat similar youkai legend."

"A monster." The tone was a little murmuring, and Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't know what her mood was at the moment.

"Fujiko, do you believe there are monsters in this world?"

"Me? It's hard to say~" Seeing Shizuka Hiratsuka turning her head to look at him in a silly manner, Fujiko blinked in a good mood.

"Although I have been to various countries and regions around the world over the years, and have encountered some strange situations due to the nature of my work, there are still some magical things like monsters." Fujiko tapped her cheek lightly with her fingers, her tone a little ethereal.

"If I had seen it with my own eyes, I might have believed it."

"But if you say there might be some humans with extraordinary abilities in this world, I would believe it more~"

"A human with strange abilities." Scratching her hair, Shizuka Hiratsuka's opinion was similar to Fujiko's.

As for whether there are such things as monsters, Shizuka Hiratsuka, who has never seen one with her own eyes, still has doubts, but humans with strange abilities...

Thinking of the villagers in the village where she had learned martial arts since childhood and whose fighting skills made people question their lives, Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded slightly.

Strictly speaking, since I learned a unique method of breath circulation from my master and applied it in battle, and was able to explosively improve my immediate combat power, I can be considered a human with special abilities.

Well, if you think about it this way, those guys in Kong Lao Tavern can be counted as such. They are all fierce and powerful.

Shizuka Hiratsuka had no doubt that with so many people in that room, if someone got carried away and wanted to kidnap the Japanese Prime Minister or something, ahem, it shouldn't be a problem.

"If that's the case, then why would the people from that organization take away the person's tibia after killing him?" Shizuka Hiratsuka felt angry as she recalled the woman in the alley and the fat man she met in the amusement park.

I don’t know about other things, but Shizuka Hiratsuka is very clear that the members of that organization are very good at escaping.

"That's right." Her eyes became sharp, and Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't help but think of the strange director she met in the art museum.

Afterwards, Shizuya Hiratsuka took advantage of Kogoro Mori's connection to take a look at the confession.

Although the director has not regained consciousness yet, according to the testimonies of other museum staff, Director Ochiai's behavior after his crime was exposed was very different from his usual behavior.

The staff all said that Director Ochiai holding the sword was like a completely different person, and both his tone of voice and expression were completely wrong.

The most important thing is the master mentioned by the other party.

Shizuka Hiratsuka had a hunch that the museum's director Ochiai was definitely related to the two members of the strange organization she had met before!

However, no matter how much Shizuka Hiratsuka wanted to get information from the other party, there was nothing she could do as the other party was still unconscious.

not to mention.

Shizuka Hiratsuka felt that the person who was talking and fighting with her at that time was not Director Ochiai.

"So is there really such a thing as soul-stealing? Or is it some weird hypnosis? What a headache..." Shizuka Hiratsuka shook her head depressedly. She was really puzzled as to why someone like her who could get her hands dirty and tried not to talk nonsense would be asked to investigate such a troublesome thing.

"No matter what, baby Jing, you must ensure your own safety. Don't worry about other things, I will help you." Knowing that Hiratsuka Shizuka had no intention of giving up, Fujiko was a little annoyed, but it was not easy for her to stop Hiratsuka Shizuka's actions.

Without saying a word, he stretched out his hands and held Shizuka Hiratsuka's cheeks. Fujiko put her face closer and looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka seriously.

"Okay, of course I understand. Don't worry." Looking at Fujiko's fluctuating eyes, Hiratsuka Shizuya laughed and shook her head.

Feeling somewhat relieved and happy, Shizuka Hiratsuka gently rested her head on Fujiko's forehead and turned it. She then took Fujiko's hand and walked down the mountain.

"Let's go. The signal here is not good. Let's go down and call Xiaolan and the others to ask about the situation."

"Yeah." Fujiko followed behind Hiratsuka Shizuka obediently, and her mind kept recalling the face that Hiratsuka Shizuka had just put close to her. She felt her legs going a little weak.

She never thought that when Shizuka Hiratsuka took the initiative to approach her, she would behave in such an embarrassing way!

"Although I don't mind Shizuka being a little assertive, but..." Fujiko licked her lips as she stared at Hiratsuka Shizuka's back with her eyes flickering.

"It turns out that people still need to have some dreams!"

Chapter 168: Some Interesting Things

"So, you haven't found any useful information yet?"

With her hands on her hips helplessly, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Kogoro Mori and the other two sitting on the steps looking at her with a smirk, and shook her head in anger and amusement.

"We are also investigating, but it's really strange." Holding the rice balls that Shizuka Hiratsuka and Fujiko bought on the road, Xiaolan, who had been running around for almost a day, couldn't wait to open the package and took a big bite.

"The person who commissioned us has been dead for a long time, and the villagers' attitude towards Keiji Aso is also very strange. It seems like they are hiding something." Conan, sitting on the steps at the entrance of the mansion, holding a rice ball in his hand, looked thoughtful.

He had no interest in this investigation at first, but now his emotions have been completely aroused.

"Okay, okay, I get it. Let's eat first and don't talk." Shizuka Hiratsuka casually opened a bottle of green tea and handed it to Xiaolan, who was choking a little because she ate too fast.

"Thank you, Aunt Jing~" Xiaolan smiled sweetly at Shizuka Hiratsuka and happily took the drink.

As expected, it was a great idea to invite Aunt Jing to come along. If it were just me, my dad and Conan, all the busy work would probably fall on my shoulders, and there would be no one to bring me food when I'm hungry like now.

After swallowing the rice in her esophagus, Xiaolan happily took another bite of the rice ball.
