Chapter 256: Conan and Heiji in a daze
"Heh, Junhui, you are so naΓ―ve, that is because you only regard your life as a grandmother in your heart, so you don't believe in the power of your life."
Hearing the laughter, Shimabukuro Junhui turned around and found that it was his childhood sweetheart Hai Laohara Shoumi who was speaking.
"I've eaten mermaid meat! She's definitely eaten it! Ebihara Shoumi said with a smile on her face: "After all, three years ago, didn't the corpse of a mermaid be found!" β
"People... The corpse of a merfolk....!? β
As soon as these words came out, even Conan and Hattori Heiji were not calm, only Tang Ze on the side seemed to have not heard it, and from time to time he admired the characteristic style of the shrine here.
And under the explanation of "know-it-all" Xiaolan, everyone also recalled the news that shocked three years ago.
Well, Xiaolan can absolutely afford the title of "know-it-all", all kinds of perennial news and events, Maori Kogoro and Conan can always get answers from Xiaolan when they are confused.
This intelligence-gathering ability and memory, coupled with the wide range of contact, from national events to celebrity gossip, as long as it has been on newspapers and television, it is within Xiaolan's knowledge guard, and she can definitely be regarded as an intelligence gathering expert.
In this respect, Xiaolan's status is like that of Sherlock Holmes, although she can't reason, she can always help in various places, and sometimes her inadvertent actions can also become the key to solving the case.
And with Xiaolan's explanation, everyone also learned about the news that was reported by the TV station three years ago.
Three years ago, a fire broke out in a warehouse on the island, and when the fire was extinguished, a strange charred corpse was found inside.
"That's purely the result of the TV station's exaggerated claims in order to attract everyone's attention..."
Looking at everyone's solemn and serious expressions, Shimabukuro Junhui smiled a little reluctantly.
"Don't kid yourself, didn't you see it with your own eyes at that time?"
Speaking of this, Ebihara Sumi's expression suddenly became fanatical, "That strange corpse, and broken bones with very strange shapes..."
Looking at Ebihara Shoumi's fanatical demeanor, Tang Ze felt like he was facing a fanatical believer.
"Alright, shut up, Shoumi."
At this moment, a young man put his hand on the shoulder of Ebihara Shoumi and stopped the other party from continuing, "They are not from our island either, you and they will not believe this." β
"Rokuro..."
"Lu Lang, why are you here too?" Shimabukuro Kimie was a little strange when she saw the other party, "Don't you need to help the family?" β
"It's already busy over there, and I've heard that a detective from Tokyo has come to you, so I'll take a look at the situation."
After answering Junhui's question, the man named Lu Lang immediately turned his head to look at the crowd: "If you want to find Saori, it is a waste of time to come here, so it is better to go directly to Saori's house."
Of course, this premise is that Saori's drunkard daddy doesn't kick you out..."
After speaking, Lu Lang took Ebihara Shoumi and the two of them to leave together, while Hattori Heiji on the side looked at the two who walked away and muttered, "Are you really childhood sweethearts?" Saori has disappeared, is everyone anxious? β
"Well... Maybe everyone is used to it. β
Shimabukuro Junhui smiled helplessly: "You also heard that Saori's father is an alcoholic, and the two don't deal with each other very well, and Saori will choose to run away from home when they quarrel..."
"Miss Shimabukuro, I wonder if you could please take us to visit the Saori family?" Mori Kogoro said at the right time.
"No problem!" Shimabukuro Kimie simply agreed to Mori Kogoro's request, "But you have to wait first, let me finish the festival and say..."
"Is it the annual lottery festival?" He Ye Wenyan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Well, that's it, but it's more like a lottery than a festival, like those numbered raffle tickets in the mall.
If the number in your hand matches the number announced at the festival, you will receive an arrow, but you will exchange the raffle ticket for the wooden card you bought. β
Shimabukuro Kimie seemed to think of something after explaining, and then took out two wooden cards from the shrine maiden costume and said with a smile: "I happen to have an old couple here who made a temporary decision in the morning to cancel the number plate returned by the lottery, so you can also try your luck?" β
"Huh?"
"Although you don't have to take the words of divination too seriously, it must be like the rumors, you can get eternal youth and beauty~"
The two glanced at each other, both of them were a little moved, but there were only two number plates, but they had three girls, and they were a little hesitant for a while, knowing whether they should accept it or not.
"Take it, I don't need this." Ayako saw the hesitation of the two at this time, and naturally understood what the two were worried about.
She took Tang Ze's arm and smiled a little embarrassedly: "What I want is that it is enough for the chords to grow old together." β
As soon as these words came out, Tang Ze took the initiative to reach out and clasp his ten fingers, and the charming color overflowed without words, so it was suddenly Xiaolan and Ye Envy's turn.
Sour, sour!!
After all, isn't the original intention of hoping to get it just to get the favor of your sweetheart?
Being able to join hands with your sweetheart is also a romantic thing that is enough to melt a girl's heart in an instant.
Thinking of this, Toyama and Ye couldn't help but think of Hattori's incomprehensible words before, and couldn't help but be full of resentment.
And Xiaolan on the side thought of the fact that after Shinichi confessed to herself, she fled in the wilderness and still hasn't met her, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in her heart.
Especially after seeing the dog food sprinkled by Sister Ayako at this moment, Xiaolan was envious, and she was also a little resentful in her heart.
She really wants to get along with Shinichi Duoduo, just like Ayako, holding hands, hugging, and traveling together, instead of just giving herself a verbal word and running away...
"Heiji/Shinichi, you idiot!!"
Almost in unison, the two young girls who were pregnant with spring turned all kinds of resentments in their hearts against their sweethearts into words and blurted out.
Immediately looked at Ye and Xiaolan, and couldn't help but smile tacitly, and his mood suddenly improved a lot.
Only Hattori Heiji was left with a confused face, and Conan had a confused expression.
"What's the situation? What's wrong with me? β
"I don't know, and you can be scolded, but I'm not here now, why do I get scolded?"
How am I messing with you again!?
The two straight men of steel glanced at each other, and they exchanged eyes with a look of confusion.
