Chapter 3169 3173 Dragon Palace Island
"Diet illness, kidnapped, beaten to death by a robber?" Hattori Heiji was just listening indifferently, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but get serious and asked in disbelief, "What you said really happened to the same family?"
The director of the show nodded and sighed sympathetically.
Hattori Heiji's eyes twitched slightly: "Is this family a super family with four generations living together, each generation has given birth to eight or nine children?"
"How is that possible?" The director of the show shook his head again, "There is only one child in Jincheng Town's family and several servants."
Conan calculated by his fingers: "Now... isn't there no one in his family?"
"Yes." The director of the show scratched his head, "The mayor is now alone... It's fine, but what's even more troublesome is that because of the successive accidents in his family, coupled with the strange corpses just discovered, this originally popular island has become like a desert island."
"As the mayor, Mr. Jincheng was so anxious that he paid for our program out of his own pocket, hoping to try to regain the image of the island and make the tourism industry here warm up."
After losing people, his career also slid to the bottom. Hattori Heiji couldn't help but feel sympathy: "It sounds very pitiful..."
Jiang Xia suddenly saw something and raised his hand to point to the coast: "A boat of people came down there."
"Hmm?" The director of the show looked up and said happily, "It's the staff under my command - the show officially starts filming tomorrow, and we have to go and rehearse first today."
Hattori Heiji was stunned and frowned: "You still need rehearsal? Didn't this mean a real and difficult case? - Did you write a script to solve the case and want us to act accordingly?"
"Of course not!" The director of the show waved his hand quickly, "This show focuses on the detective duel between you and Jiang Xia - to ensure authenticity..." and to maintain popularity with Jiang Xia's popularity, "Tomorrow's program will be broadcast in the form of live broadcast."
As he said that, he pointed to an isolated island in the distance: "The live broadcast location is the uninhabited island - the shriveled body I mentioned before and the weird words written next to the body were found on the Ghost Turtle Island."
"President Jincheng has sponsored a lot of our funds. In order to present the most perfect shooting effect and find the right angle, we have to go over and take a look in advance to avoid being in a hurry tomorrow. This is what I just mentioned."
Hattori Heiji was a little embarrassed: "So that's how it is."
The director of the show didn't care about this misunderstanding. Suddenly he remembered something and looked at Jiangxia and Hattori Heiji: "The opportunity is rare. Do you want to go to that island with us and take a look in advance?"
"this……"
Hattori Heiji fell into unprecedented hesitation.
——Theoretically, when you go to the island in advance, it seems that you will be cheating by peeking at the questions before the exam begins.
But……
"But this time, I am not representing me alone - the one standing behind me is the famous detectives in our entire Kansai!" Hattori Heiji clenched his fists secretly and muttered in his heart:
"Jiang Xia usually solves the case faster, and I'm too lazy to bother with him... But this time, if he is crushed in front of so many audiences, it will be too ugly."
So now, we must find a way to avoid this tragedy.
"Although my usual speed of solving cases is slightly slower than Jiang Xia... But in general, I don't have to solve the cases that Jiang Xia can solve, but it just takes a little longer to think about."
"If this is the case, then rehearsal one day in advance will be more beneficial to me no matter what I think."
——In short, going to the island with the rehearsal staff is not for your own face, but for the entire Kansai!
Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji was like a hero who went on a war, throwing away his conscience and nodding hard.
After expressing his opinion, while the director of the show turned around and talked to Jiangxia, Hattori Heiji secretly picked Conan up and let him go.
Then he squatted down and whispered: "This time you are in the same group with me! As long as the two of us join forces, we will definitely be able to solve the unsolved case in an instant and defeat Jiang Xia! - In this way, the audience in front of the TV tomorrow will know that our Osaka detectives' reasoning ability is much higher than that of their Tokyo detectives!"
Conan: "..." But I am a Tokyo native, why do you have to help you Osaka... By the way, are you really sure that we can defeat Jiangxia together?
Although reason told him that the runner-up and third place could not beat the championship even if they ran together, Hattori Heiji's proposal still made him feel moved.
——If the two of them join forces, they can really solve the case in an instant, and then when Jiang Xia frowned and thought, he proudly shook the whole truth in front of him...
Thinking of this, Conan silently threw out his mind about cheating or not, and nodded his head with a reserved look.
Then two detectives, one big and one small, looked at each other, slammed the palm, and reached some kind of sinister agreement.
"Get ready to go!" A voice came from the side, and the director of the program urged them to set off.
Hattori Heiji and Conan suddenly withdrew their hands that were clapping together, opened their eyes at the same time, and then cleared their throats as if nothing had happened, intending to get on the boat.
However, when he looked up, the boat did not drive over, but instead a car parked on the side of the road not far away.
"Well? Are you going to rehearse on the island?" Hattori Heiji's heart instantly made a big alarm: Didn't Jiangxia agree, so the director of the program cancelled this link?
The director of the show laughed: "Let's visit the mayor first, and then go to the island - if Mr. Jiang Xia hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten such an important thing."
Hattori Heiji breathed a lot of relief: "So that's it... Then let's get in the car quickly, and the battle is quick. I can't wait to see what the desert island looks like."
The group got into the car and drove to the largest restaurant on the island. Jiang Xia just proposed to meet the generous sponsor of the mayor, so the director of the program quickly called Mayor Jincheng and made an appointment for the time and place.
Thanks to his phone call, he didn't go there directly - the mayor who has been idle at home is actually going to meet guests today.
When he learned that Jiang Xia and the others had arrived, the mayor asked the program director to take people to the hotel directly. After he met the guest in front of him, he just went to the next table, which would save him another trip.
...
On the other side.
The white-haired mayor of Jincheng put down his cell phone and looked at the short-haired female lawyer sitting upright across the table.
