Chapter 1697: The Ghost Legend of the Sea Dragon Palace!~

The man named Kume had dyed brown hair, and when he heard the voice, he was slightly stunned, turned his head to look at the woman behind him, and said with a dry smile: "Yijiang, look at what you said." I just wanted to show the friendliness of the locals......"

"But the way you look now, it seems that you are being regarded as a suspicious bad guy, right?" the woman named Yijiang waved her hand, and then stretched out her hand to Hattori Heiji and said:

"Hello, you're the high school detective Heiji Hattori who is going to challenge Mr. Mori, right?"

Hattori Heiji heard the words "uh", and then helplessly stretched out his hand and defended himself: "Hello, I'm Hattori Heiji, but I didn't challenge that uncle, but a duel!

"Hmm...... None of that matters. Yi Jiang smiled casually, "All in all, I hope you can do your best, behave well, and find out the truth of the mysterious case on the island as soon as possible......"

After Yi Jiang said a few words casually, he walked to the corner of the cabin and began to sort out his diving equipment, while Taketomi Masao walked to the side of Nanatsuki Koshisui and Heiji Hattori, and said with a smile: "Haha! I'm sorry, I was doing some preparations just now, and I just finished my work this time, so I haven't had time to introduce some of you ......."

Takefu Masao said, stretched out his hand and pointed to the people in the cabin and introduced: "These three are the staff temporarily hired by our program team in the local area, they are all familiar with the environment near Ghost Turtle Island, and they can provide a lot of convenience for the filming of the program. They are Mr. Yoshitsugu Kume, Mr. Noburo Ikema, and Ms. Ie Hirara. In addition, there is Mr. Mikihiko Daito, who is currently in the cockpit, and Mr. Takashi Shimoji, the captain of the ship......"

Takefu Masao first introduced these temporarily hired staff, and then introduced Conan, Hattori Heiji, and Xiaolan, and then heard a voice from the cabin: "Okay, Director Takefu, don't talk nonsense! We're about to dock, so it's best to hurry up, finish the work quickly, and rush back before it gets dark - in this place, as soon as it gets dark, the rumors that those ghosts will come ashore to claim their lives are not fake......

This voice fell, and the man in the cabin laughed dryly, and then said, "Really, Mr. Dadong, please don't make such a terrible joke, okay?"

"Haha! I'm not kidding, am I, Captain Down?"

Dadong responded, Xiaolan and Ye Ze both let out an "ah", involuntarily leaned together, and then asked a little scared: "What do you mean by 'ghost things'...... What the hell is it?"

When Xiaolan's voice fell, Kume Yoshitsugu immediately came over from the side and said gloomily: "What else could it be? Of course it's a ghost! This is a legend that has been passed down in Okinawa for a long time! It is said that a long time ago, there was a dragon palace near this place, and a beautiful dragon maiden lived in it. Later, for unknown reasons, the dragon girl died unexpectedly, and her men became ghosts, and at night, they would go ashore with her men silently and take away the souls of the living......"

Kume Haoji's tone was gloomy and terrifying, and Noburo Ikema next to him cooperated with his tongue and posed as a demon asking for his life, which frightened Xiaolan and Ye with an "ah" and hugged each other.

Seeing this, Takefu Masao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, Mr. Kume, don't say it, these are just legends......"

"That's right. Hira Yijiang also nodded, "I was supposed to swim on the island later, and I wanted to swim for a while, but when you said that, I didn't want to swim a little......"

"Haha! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

Kume Yoshitsugu and Ikema Shinro hurriedly apologized, while Conan and Hattori Heiji pouted their lips disdainfully and said, "Really, what a dragon palace, a dragon girl, and a ghost, as soon as you hear it, you know it's a lie......"

"Yes!" Hattori nodded, then squinted at Xiaolan and Kazuha, "...... But even so, those two women were scared like that, how cowardly!"

"Uh-huh!

Conan and Hattori complained to each other, while Nanatsuki reached out and pinched his chin, frowned slightly, and muttered softly:

"Ryugu......? Kind of interesting......"

……

Tokyo City, Rice Flower Town, 2-chome.

In front of Loriai's biological research laboratory, with a soft "crunch", a cleaning cart stopped, followed by a woman in a cleaner's uniform stepping out of the car.

The woman was slightly bloated, with a hat on her head, and after looking back and forth on both sides of the road, she picked up a cleaning box from the back seat of the car, walked quickly to the door of the laboratory, skillfully opened the door, and walked in.

After the woman walked into the room, she immediately took out an instrument from the box and swept it around, followed by a series of "didi" sounds.

Listening to these voices, the woman chuckled, pressed a button on the instrument, and muttered softly, "...... Sure enough, Shirley has set up some alarms here, but it doesn't bother me......"

This woman is none other than Belmode!

Belmode interfered with the alarm with his device, and after a brief search outside, he walked into the lab.

The laboratory was well equipped, Belmode looked around casually, and finally walked to the pig's barn, looked at the label attached to the barn, opened one of the cages, and carefully teased a mouse with a smile on his face:

“…… Shirley, is this guy doing research on APTX-4869 here? Speaking of which, Junya Tokitsu said some weird things before...... He's probably been here before, right?"

Belmode suddenly thought of Shi Jin Runya, and after thinking for a while, he turned his head and looked around:

"Speaking of which, with Tokitaki's ability, since Shirley has been discovered, he will definitely have installed a camera or something like that here. Although Tokitsu Junya is dead now, the soul slayer and Shirley must be very vigilant, and if they install a camera or something here, it is very likely that they will be exposed immediately, so my best choice is to keep an eye on this place and look for a good opportunity......"

With this in mind, Belmode examined the lab again, then left the lab and got in the car to leave.

At the same time, on the side of the road in the second chome, Dr. Asa looked at the departing cleaning car with a slightly surprised expression:

"This cleaning truck is going to the laboratory of Gray Plains, right? It doesn't seem appropriate to find a cleaning truck to clean in a place like the laboratory......
