Chapter 391 Can’t Draw? Just Buy Them All

According to Tanaka Kikue's plan, she will act separately from Nobushige, so she must complete the task independently without relying on anyone else's strength.

Tanaka Kikue is very clear that this task is a test of her ability by the organization, and she is obviously quite confident in herself.

Nobushige had no intention of breaking Tanaka Kikue's confidence.

After all, the scenery of Mermaid Island is beautiful, the seafood on Mermaid Island is very fresh, the hotel environment on Mermaid Island is very good, and there are even hot springs.

As for the mission... Shimabukuro Kimie is not an ordinary woman. Being able to play the role of Mingzhu alone for many years has proven that she is not simple.

Which of these two women is the cicada and who is the mantis?

Nobushige decided to wait and see.

—Mermaid Island·Hotel—

The dignified girl at the front desk was originally answering the phone. When she saw a customer approaching, she immediately nodded to Nobuhiro with a smile on her face.

Nobushige stopped about one meter away from the front desk and placed his eyes on the wooden board with the price hanging on the wall.

Mermaid Island is worthy of being a tourist attraction. It is close to the Dugong Festival. The price of the rooms here is ridiculously expensive, and it is not far behind compared to the bustling areas in Tokyo.

"I'm really sorry. We cannot provide dugong arrow drawing services. If you need it, you are welcome to come to Mermaid Island to participate in the dugong celebration in person." The receptionist said sorry to the phone many times before finally putting down the receiver helplessly. .

Then she seemed to realize that the call just now was heard by the guests in front of her, and she said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long, sir, how can I help you?"

The appearance of the front desk lady is very dignified. Although she is not stunning, she is the kind that makes people feel comfortable just looking at her face.

Such a face has no conspicuous features and makes people forget it, but it can also bring people closer to others and create a sense of intimacy. It is a disguised face that is very suitable for gray work.

Nobuhiro silently remembered this face in his heart, and also remembered the name of the front desk lady in case of emergency. It's just that he probably doesn't have the chance to wear women's clothing anymore, so he can only use it to disguise others.

"I want to book a standard room with a hot spring." Nobuhiro said.

The lady at the front desk checked the book and said, "Sorry, all standard rooms in our hotel have been booked, and now only suites are left."

"Then let's book a suite." Anyway, the organization's public funds were being spent, so Nobuhiro didn't feel bad at all.

The front desk quickly checked in Nobuyoshi.

While waiting, Nobushige asked casually: "Did you just say that there is a Dugong Arrow drawing service on Mermaid Island?"

"Ah, um..." the front desk lady wrote down the room number and check-in time on the registration book, and replied at the same time, "Actually, in order to get dugong arrows, some wealthy guests will hire people to buy a lot of number plates to increase the draw number. probability."

Nobushige nodded in understanding. Theoretically, if someone can buy a number plate that is greater than the total number minus two, then the probability of him drawing the Dugong Arrow is 100%.

"Are there many cases where people are hired to do the pumping?" Nobuhiro asked.

"Actually, this phenomenon exists everywhere, but because the Dugong Arrow has a bit of theological overtones, most people feel that it is useless even if they don't draw it. So until now, I You only know it once." The receptionist placed a form in front of Nobuhiro, "Please sign your name here, thank you."

Nobushige's current disguise is the face he used when he and Bermod participated in the operation against Shigehiko Tonguchi, so he signed the name Hisashi Watanabe.

"Isn't that person afraid that the dugong arrows he drew will not work?"

The lady at the front desk laughed when she heard this: "Actually, it was not just one person. I remember that there were three guests who came together. They spent a lot of money to hire the residents of the island and bought all the number plates. But of course this matter ended in the end. It's still exposed, after all, there is a purchase record in Mingzhu, and a quick check will show that the person who bought the number plate that was drawn was not them at all."

three people.

Nobuhiro immediately thought of what Gin said about his previous visit to Mermaid Island with vodka and Shirley.

I'm afraid they are the three people who got Dugong Arrows by buying number plates.

It’s not surprising that Gin would try his best to obtain the Dugong Arrow. After all, his mission is to investigate the secret of immortality on Mermaid Island. But Nobuhiro didn't expect that Gin would buy it instead of threatening him.

Maybe he was worried that his threatening words would be too high-profile and expose himself easily.

But... obviously hiring more than a hundred residents to buy all the number plates is not low-key at all, right?

"This incident had a great impact on Mermaid Island at the time. Mingzhang was very angry and declared that these three people would be disqualified from participating in the dugong celebration again. She also warned the residents of the island that next time something like this happens, the representative The person who smoked it will also be implicated." The front desk lady stuck out her tongue and said, "Actually, I also want to see if the Dugong Arrow is really as magical as the legend says. How can I smoke it for the guests?"

Nobuhiro nodded and suddenly asked: "Have the check-in procedures been completed?"

"Ah!" The front desk lady smacked her head and hurriedly handed the room card to Nobushige, "Your room is on the first floor. Go through there and turn left."

"Thank you." Xinfan put away the room card, smiled at her, and then left the hotel lobby and walked towards the guest room.

If his memory is still accurate, Conan and the others should have arrived at Mermaid Island on the day the Dugong Festival began. If he wanted to change the original plot, he only had a few days left to do it.

Moreover, Nobushige vaguely remembered that one of the three deceased had died before, but he could not remember the specific date of that person's murder.

I wish this hadn’t happened yet!

The hotel's private hot spring pool was small and the water quality was not very good. Nobuhishi knew it was an artificial hot spring at a glance. I didn’t expect that in a country like Japan, where the hot spring culture is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, you can also encounter artificial hot springs.

He reached out and touched the hot spring water, but soon lost interest in using it to soothe his nerves.

Forget it, it's really not safe to strip naked in a strange place and go to a hot spring. In case of emergency, he has to put on his clothes first.

Nobushige glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and decided to follow Tanaka Kikue first and watch the confrontation between her and Shimabukuro Kimie.

He hoped that the woman could give him some surprises, and it would be even better if she could inadvertently reveal the secrets of the organization that Nobuhiro himself didn't know.

So Nobushi stayed in the room for less than ten minutes and left the hotel just like when he came, wearing his coat and carrying his bag.

The lady at the front desk saw him out of the corner of her eye and thought that Nobuhiro was dissatisfied with the room and came to check out.

However, Nobushige walked straight past her and walked towards the sunshine outside the hotel.
