"Passengers, after a long flight, we have worked hard. This plane is about to arrive at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport. The local temperature is 32 degrees and the weather is fine..."

When an international flight arrives at the exit in Hongqiao, Shanghai, Gao Cheng keeps looking at Uncle Maori who yawns when he gets off the plane.

Why is this guy here? Because he was in first class with Yuanzi on the plane, he didn't find out at all.

"But what about Conan?" Gao Cheng asked.

Conan is a black family. If he wants to go abroad, he can only go back to Kudo Shinichi. I'm afraid he can't pass Xiaoai.

"Conan said he would go camping, but he didn't come. The doctor promised to take care of him for a few days," Xiaolan walked around excitedly. "Is this Shanghai? A lot of Chinese characters. "

"Hum," Maori Kogoro had been to Shanghai before, but he was not very excited. He reminded Gao Chengji, "don't run around with me after you go out. This is not Tokyo, and there are Chenghu boys. Chinese law forbids private detectives. Don't say you are a detective everywhere."

Gao Cheng looks at the old man and doesn't speak.

Who knows Shanghai better than him?

Although the world is a little earlier, it is only a few years away.

"Cough, don't look. This way."

Uncle finally found a sense of existence, took Gao Chengji out of the station and found a taxi. He said two words in poor Chinese and showed the driver the address provided by his friend in the garden.

"District... Here, coiba?"

"Yes."

Gao Cheng couldn't bear to beat his cheerful uncle and got on the bus behind him. Fortunately, the driver had been in contact with many foreign tourists and didn't feel surprised. He drove directly away from the airport.

"Are you going to the Bund theater to see the mermaid show?" The driver said, "I've seen one too. It's really good. It's a pity."

Uncle did not understand, but also have their own way: "yes, yes."

Yuanzi's friend is an overseas student from Japan. At present, he works in Yang's acrobatic troupe in summer. The address left to Yuanzi is also the place where the acrobatic troupe performs. It's a big ship transformed into a theater in Huangpu River.

The Bund theater.

Because it's still early, Gao Cheng and his party seem a little lonely when they come here. I don't know if they have an illusion. Although the theater ship is quite spectacular, it always has a strange feeling.

Wait, Shanghai, mermaid... Isn't it the case in Jintian series?

Gao Cheng scratched his hair.

I don't think I should come here

"Is that where we live?" Uncle Maori was disappointed to put down his luggage and look around. When he was on the road, he thought he would stay in a high-class hotel or something. As a result, he was a broken ship, which was far behind the distinctive western style buildings on the Bund.

"Dad, what a shame." Xiao Lan's face turned red.

"Of course not here, uncle," said yuanzitou Avenue. "Miss Xicun will help us find a hotel."

"The garden!"

Just then, a girl ran out of the boat. When she saw the crowd, she said happily, "I thought you would come tomorrow. Why don't you call in advance?"

Yuanzi also waved to meet the girl, introduced Gao Cheng and said: "this is my boyfriend a Cheng, here is Xiaolan, and her father uncle Maoli. Uncle is very familiar with Shanghai, so he followed me."

"Hello." Gao Cheng and the girl shake hands.

It's a pretty girl, but she's a little older. She looks about 20 years old.

It was evening when I checked in the hotel and went back to the boat of Yang's acrobatic troupe. The Bund theater was a little busy and looked very popular, but most of them were foreign tourists, and the local people seemed to be afraid of something.

"A week ago," Nishimura Zhibao said without concealing. He didn't look very good. "Leader Yang was shot and killed. The murderer hasn't been found yet, so..."

"Shot?"

The atmosphere suddenly cooled, and the crowd seemed to be isolated from the noisy theater, divided into two worlds.

"A week ago, wasn't that the day I contacted you?" Garden Road.

"That night," Nishimura Zhibao led everyone into his cabin room from the other side. "After the performance, he found that the leader died in his cabin with a mask on his face. He didn't know why, one ear was cut off and his body was still wet with goldfish water."

"It's terrible."

Yuanzi and Xiaolan are a little afraid to listen any more. Fortunately, Xicun Zhibao still has to work. They go to the dressing room in a hurry to make up for the acrobats.

"I'll go first. You can go directly to the show later."

"Are you miss Nishimura's friends?" A young man asked a question in Chinese. He thought it was wrong. He shook his head and left the cabin.

The theater is located in a large house with deck reconstruction, which is different from the slightly shabby hull and narrow cabin. The stage decoration is magnificent.

When Gao Cheng went from the cabin to the theater, he took a special look at the backstage. There were a lot of costumes hanging in the aisle. Because the light was dim, he looked very terrible. There seemed to be a man eating demon in the deep.

Just now, he kept thinking that there are several versions of the Jintian Shanghai Mermaid incident. I don't know which one he met this time. He died a week ago. His professional habits made him want to collect information as soon as possible. Although he did not know the details of the case, he vaguely remembered that no matter which version of the mermaid incident, it was a continuous homicide. The key word is "revenge", which is related to a case in Japan many years ago. On the surface, it's an acrobatic troupe, but on the surface, it's a smuggling and theft gang... "There's another threat letter," someone in the background panicked, "there will be summer after spring... Sure enough, it's Si LAN. Si LAN turned into a mermaid and came back for revenge!"“ Shut up“ The mask the regiment leader was wearing was Chun. Now all the other masks are gone... "Si LAN has long been dead!"“ Cut the crap, "a man in a suit yelled." get ready. The show will start soon. "“ Cheng The garden came back and urged, "what are you doing? Uncle has gone to take a place“ Oh, oh Gao Cheng absently follows the garden. Originally, I thought it would be fun to go back to Shanghai, but this world is not the ordinary world at all, and it is more and more likely to be involved in the case. Maybe it's because of the threatening letter. Before the performance, several policemen came in from the entrance and secretly watched out for something. Gao Cheng, sitting in the back row, vaguely heard that he was talking about the murder weapon. After the crime, the police thought that the pistol as the murder weapon was thrown into the Huangpu River, but until today, it has not been found in the river. In the cabin, in the consultant room of the acrobatic troupe, the man in suit who just lost his temper backstage, Teng Tang Zhuang Jie, still looks very ugly, even sweating“ Are you really going to perform today? " A well-dressed foreign woman went into the room and sat down opposite the rattan hall. "The police are coming again. What if they find out about Si LAN? There is also the curse of the fishman. Si LAN may want to kill me... "Hum, what is the curse of the fishman? Someone must be playing tricks in the regiment Rattan took a vicious cigarette. "By the way, what happened to those people just now? The horsetail boy looks familiar... "He said that he was a friend of Xicun village. He came to play for two days." the foreign woman didn't care much about Gao Cheng and his party, but she was still uneasy. "No, I won't play today. You can find someone else."
