428. The bones of a mermaid

Seeing the other party laughing like this, Maori Kogoro was a little embarrassed, "But that dugong arrow is not ......"

"My mother told me before she died that the arrow used to represent only a forbidden arrow with a curse spell cast. However, the people on the island got involved with the mermaid and changed it into a dugong that inhabits the sea. ”

"Has your mother died?"

"Hmm. Five years ago, she died in the sea with her father. Even my great-grandfather was lost before I was born, when he went out to sea on a boat. ”

"Your family must have died at sea, there must be some reason for this......

There are some things that can't be thought about, thinking of the legendary old woman who eats mermaid meat to sustain life, Xiaolan and Heye have goosebumps. Could this be the merfolk's curse on the family?

The garden approached Kamikawa Instant and asked in a low voice, "Ah Instant, do you think there is anything strange in this?" ”

"It's quite magical that the whole family died in the sea, which may be one of the reasons why the legend of the longevity woman has spread so widely. For fishermen who depend on the sea for their livelihood, the accident of being buried in the sea is not uncommon, but it is not often heard of, so at first glance it sounds a bit magical. A few years ago, when technology wasn't very advanced, this was just a common thing. ”

"That's right." Sonoko nodded, feeling that he had a point.

I think it's rare, and in the final analysis, there is survivorship bias.

Shimabukuro Kimie shook his head and interrupted the speculation of several people, "What's the reason, I also took a boat with Saori to the mainland before, but it didn't go well." ”

At the mention of Saori, the spirits of several detectives present suddenly gathered.

"You're on a boat with Saori? When was that? ”

Kamikawa's eyes stayed on Kimie Shimabukuro for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"It was four days ago." Shimabukuro's reaction to the people was a little strange, but she still answered truthfully, "That time, I asked her to accompany me to the mainland to see a dentist, because we don't have a dentist on the island." ”

"Was Saori emotionally stable at that time?"

Kimie Shimabukuro thought back, "She said that she lost the Dugong Arrow, and she was terrified that the merfolk would seek revenge on her... I reassured her that there would never be such a thing, but she just wouldn't listen......"

As it gets darker, a woman approaches over to hear their conversation, seemingly disagreeing with Shimabukuro's words.

"You're so stupid. You say this because you don't believe in your great-grandmother's powers, she really has magical powers, and she did eat mermaid meat before. “

"Sumi......"

"There was a mermaid corpse three years ago, didn't it?"

"Mermaid corpses here?!" Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Xiaolan has heard a lot about this, "What you said about this shouldn't be the ...... that was broadcast on TV three years ago?"

"It was just a TV show exaggeration!" Kimie Shimabukuro interrupted her, and she didn't seem to want to mention it more.

Sonoko looked up at Kamikawa and wanted to hear his opinion, but saw the other party staring intently at Shimabukuro Kimi-e. She took a closer look at Kimie Shimabukuro, and the other party was indeed cute, the type that boys would like very much at first glance.

A sour feeling welled up in her heart, and she grabbed one of Kamikawa's fingers and held it quietly.

Aware of movement in your hands? Kamikawa instantly took her hand and looked down at her? "What's wrong?"

"Why do you keep staring at Miss Shimabukuro?"

"Is there one? I'm just thinking about something. ”

"What's the matter?"

"What happened today is a bit of a coincidence......," Kamikawa whispered to her, some of the speculations.

Yuan nodded blankly? It's like I understand, and it's like I don't understand anything.

Ebihara Suzumi is very disdainful of Shimabukuro Kimi's words? "Tell nonsense with your eyes open, you obviously see ...... too" Speaking of this? Her look has become crazy and weird? It's the same as when Naoko Kuroe mentioned this? "The broken bones of that mermaid are simply weird!"

"Shoumi, don't say it!" A man whose skin had become tanned from years of exposure to the sun suddenly interrupted her, "A lot of things are inconvenient to say in the presence of outsiders. ”

"Lulang?"

"If you're here to find Saori? It's time to go to Saori's house to find out the situation. But only if his drunken dad welcomes you first. ”

After saying that? The man named Rokuro Fukuyama turned to leave, as if he had just walked over just to keep an eye on Ebihara Sumi.

Kamikawa instantly looked at the people and set his eyes on the shrine.

This is the only shrine on the island and the beginning of rumors.

When you came to this island? He had gathered a lot of information about the island. This includes the mermaid skeleton incident, which was once reported on television.

The rumored body found was short in stature, with the lower half of its body smashed from the ribs? It's like a mermaid without legs.

Hattori was a little unhappy with the disregard of several people for Saori Menxie, "They all grew up together, and no one cared about her safety." ”

"That's because Saori used to quarrel with his father and run away from home." Kimie Shimabukuro explained. This kind of thing is taken for granted, so it is not strange.

"Can you please take us to Miss Saori's house?"

"Of course, I'll be free after the celebration." Kimie Shimabukuro gladly agreed.

"What do you all do at the festival?" Xiaolan was a little curious about this celebration.

"We'll sell numbered plates to the guests present, and if they have the same number as my great-grandmother, they'll get dugong arrows. It's kind of like a lottery contest! ”

"By the way, why don't you two try your luck too?" Kimime Shimabukuro took out two wooden number plates from his pocket and asked like Xiaolan and Kazuha.

"Huh?"

"This morning, an old couple just returned the number plate temporarily, and I still have two more."

"Then you're welcome!" Xiaolan and He Ye glanced at each other, and one of them picked up a number plate.

"Actually, if you don't win, you have to rely on some luck. Maybe this time you two will be able to live forever like everyone said, and your youth will last forever! ”

Shimabukuro Junhui walked away, Xiaolan looked carefully at the number plate in her hand, and then looked at the garden standing with Kamikawa, "Garden, have you bought a number plate?" ”

Yuan Zi shook his head and said with a smile: "We are mainly here to eat seafood, and it is good to leave immortality or something to those who want to win people." ”

"Now it's getting dark, let's go to dinner first! There is a shop where the seafood is exceptional! ”
