Chapter 266 Drifting Bottle Asking for Help

While playing beach volleyball, Yuantai once again hit the volleyball out of the line they drew on the beach. He had no choice but to scratch his head and say embarrassedly that he was going to pick it up.

Ling Cheng shrugged. This guy simply couldn't control his strength. This was the nth time.

Yuantai ran over to pick up the ball, but he hesitated for a long time. In the end, he brought back a mineral water bottle in addition to the ball.

Ling Cheng: "Where did you pick this up?"

Yuan Tai answered truthfully:

"The sea water just rushed in, and I saw something inside, so I took it back. Let's open it and take a look, maybe there's a treasure map inside!"

When they heard about the treasure map, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi's eyes lit up and they began to fantasize.

Ayumi: "If there's a treasure map inside, maybe we can find the legendary treasure."

Mitsuhiko: "It could also be the pirates hiding jewels. There are as many treasure chests as there are in a cave!"

Ling Cheng: Haha, your imagination is quite good, but no matter how you look at it, the paper inside doesn’t look like a treasure map. Instead, it looks more like the wrapping paper outside this empty water bottle.

"You're overthinking it. Maybe it's just some wrapping paper someone stuffed in there out of boredom."

Ling Cheng spoke tactfully, but the three people were no longer willing to listen to him and wanted to open the bottle directly.

Conan, who happened to be walking by and saw this scene, couldn't help but laugh at their imagination, but he couldn't persuade them and could only ask Lingshi for tools to cut open the bottle.

Lingshi also leaned over to take a look. Conan cut open the bottle with scissors and took out the wrapping paper from it.

When I opened it, there was a line of words written on it, "SOS, Xiaonin."

This scared the kids. Conan frowned while holding the paper. Ling Cheng was about to say something when Xiao Shinobu's boyfriend Haruhi came over with a smile.

"What? I thought she left, but it turns out this woman is still here."

Ling Cheng: Does this guy like to interrupt others so much?

Ayumi and the others were puzzled for a moment, and Haruhi explained to herself:

"She's always like this, always doing this kind of thing, just to make me worry. This woman is really a headache."

After saying that, Chunri walked away on her own. Ling Cheng rolled his eyes. What on earth does this man do? He came here specially to tell us the same thing.

At this time, Mao Lilan changed her swimsuit and shouted:

"Everyone, the beach has become dangerous, don't go near it!"

"it is good--"

Although that was the answer, they immediately gathered in a circle to hold a small meeting, and it was obvious that they had not listened to what Haruhi had just said.

Ayumi: "But it would be terrible if it was really Shinobu-san asking for help."

Yuantai immediately agreed:

"In that case, let's investigate."

Ling Cheng: Ha, that guy was right, everyone here is a traitor.

Mitsuhiko raised a question,

"Where should we start investigating? If she's on an uninhabited island, we should..."

Conan interrupted him.

"No, that's not possible considering the time. The paper hasn't been dried by the sun yet. Sister Shinobu must be somewhere not far from here."

Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard this.

Ling Cheng: "What about that guy? He doesn't seem to want us to look for him."

Ling Cheng signaled with his eyes to Chunri who was standing on the other side, and then several children ran to Lingshi who was going back to Huangquan to help pack up.

Zero noticed a few more people around him and turned to look at them.

Ling Shi: "Huh? What's wrong with you guys? Do you want to talk to me about something?"

Conan and Ling Cheng pulled him to bend over, then warned him:

"You have to keep a close eye on that Haruhi brother, don't let him out of your sight."

Zero hour:?

"What do you want to do?"

Ling Cheng: "It's an emergency, uncle, lend it to us!"

Ling Cheng called out to Ye Ye who was wiping his face over to Huang Quan. Ye Ye looked up when he heard the voice, then wanted to go over, but turned his head back to rub against Huang Quan.

It makes sense. Everyone knows that Huang Quan has a higher status. Huang Quan patted its head.

"Go play. You have to take a shower when you get home. Watch the kids and don't let them get hurt."

Ye Ye responded and jumped over. The children ran away with the dog. Ling Shi had no choice but to stare at Haruhi.

The children ran away, and Kogoro Maori said that the tide was about to rise. Even though he had drunk a lot of wine, he still took the fishing rod and said he wanted to go fishing again.

Mao Lilan looked worried and wanted to persuade him to give up the idea, but Kasuga came over and said she wanted to go too. Mao Li Kogoro put his hand on his forehead and wanted to refuse.

Haruhi said:

"Don't worry, I know that pond. I'm very familiar with this area."

"Let's go!"

With that, Kasuga pulled Kogoro Maori out, told Huang Quan at midnight, and then said that she was worried about Maori drinking, so she wanted to go with them and watch them fishing.

Mao Lilan shouted from behind that it was time to go home, but got no response.

Mao Lilan: "Really, you are all so willful!"

Huang Quan walked over and comforted him:

"Don't worry, they know what's going on. We can just deal with them when we get back late. Okay, I've finished cleaning up here. Do you need any help?"

Mao Lilan: "Oh, okay, I'll be right there."

He followed them at midnight. He wasn't fishing anyway, so his reason for following was legitimate.

System: Host, how come we have become the protagonist's assistants?

Midnight: What does it matter? It’s your slacking time, remember to cherish it.

On the other side, Ling Cheng and Conan decided that Ling Cheng would be the commander of this operation, with Conan as the assistant, and everyone would listen to them.

Guang Yan: "Hehe, this is considered a benefit for new members of the detective team. Besides, Uncle Ling Shi also said that Brother Ling Cheng, you are the older brother, so I have to listen to you."

Ayumi: "Well, what should we do next?"

Ling Cheng: "Let's look for it along the direction of the ocean current, where the garbage is coming from."

Ling Cheng took the bottle and let Ye Ye smell it. Ye Ye showed an innocent expression, obviously there was nothing he could do.

Ling Cheng gave the water bottle to Conan and ran out with a group of people. The further they walked towards the beach, the more garbage they saw. Then they saw an old man picking up trash.

Ling Cheng immediately took them there. Conan raised the water bottle and wanted to ask the old man, but he snatched it away angrily.

"Here we go again! Damn it! There are more and more young people coming here lately, and there's more trash on the beach too! Seriously!"

"What are you doing with sea bathing and diving? You're making our sea dirty!"

The old man was angry on his own. Although Ling Cheng and the others wanted to understand, he was in a hurry, so he shouted loudly, and the old man finally woke up from his emotions.

So Ling Cheng asked about the direction of the ocean current and where the bottle came from. The old man pointed, and several children immediately ran out, thanking him loudly as they ran.
