427. Wait until you are enlightened to ask me this question

The ship docked, and Conan and his men landed on the island to inquire about the client.

"What? You say that the current whereabouts of Miss Saori are unknown? "Hearing that the staff on the island said that the whereabouts of Miss Saori, who entrusted them to come over, were unknown, and the bad premonition in Hattori's heart became even stronger.

"Yes. She didn't seem to have been to work three days ago. ”

"Three days from now, it's exactly when the letter arrives at home." Hattori held his chin, according to this calculation, that Miss Saori would definitely disappear for more than three days.

The staff on the island thought it was normal for her whereabouts to be unknown, "but the neighbors wondered if she had taken a boat to the mainland island to play." ”

It's not like this kid runs away from home once or twice, and he comes back after a while, and they don't have to worry about it.

He raised his hand to look at the time on his watch and said apologetically to the Maori couple, "I'm sorry, but I'm going to the island to prepare for the celebration." ”

"What kind of celebration?"

"Today is the day of our annual dugong celebration on the island! If there's anything else you want to know, you can ask the owner of the souvenir shop around the corner. ”

According to the advice of the staff, as soon as they walked to the door of the souvenir store, they met Kamikawa Instant and Sonoko oncoming.

"Xiaolan?"

"Garden!"

The two girls looked at each other, shocked and delighted.

"Xiaolan, why are you here too?"

"We're here to investigate the case, but it's you, are you going out on a date with Instant Jun?" Xiao Lan and He Ye's faces appeared at the same time, and a mocking look appeared.

"It's just... It's just to come out and play......" Two red clouds appeared on Yuanzi's face.

didn't care about the ridicule of the two girls, Kamikawa instantly looked at Hattori Heiji, "What case are you investigating?" ”

Heiji Hattori briefly explained what had happened.

"Mermaid's cry for help? That's kind of interesting. If nothing else, this should also be a very famous case in the original book, but he doesn't remember much about the content.

After a brief greeting, everyone returned to the topic and asked the store manager about the information.

"Is there any news from Miss Saori? We haven't been able to get in touch with her. ”

"Saori must be afraid of the curse of the dugong's arrow, so she must have hidden."

"Dugong arrows?"

"Yes. It is the talisman of immortality, and legend has it that those who lose it suffer a curse. Saori accidentally lost the arrow she got at last year's celebration. That's why she was so scared a week ago, for fear that the merfolk would come to her for revenge......"

Maori Kogoro was helpless, "Where is there a mermaid in this world?" “

"There are indeed mermaids in the world." A female voice came abruptly from behind, and everyone looked back to see a young lady with short hair standing in the doorway.

She continued, "Because there are real cases in the world of immortality after eating mermaid meat. ”

"And the dugong arrow made of the hair grown by the longevity woman with her mental power can realize the dream of immortality no matter who it falls into." When talking about immortality, she lowered her head slightly, and there was madness hidden in the depths of her eyes.

"So Saori is afraid of the mermaid's revenge, and it is human nature to escape from this small island."

With that, she turned away and said no more.

"Who is she?" Mori Kogoro felt that this inexplicable person was a little strange.

"She's Naoko Kuroe, a friend who grew up with Saori."

"What is the longevity woman she is talking about.....?"

"The protagonist of tonight's celebration and the symbol of our island - the old lady of the island."

Hattori Heiji asked out loud, "What is the actual age of that old lady now?" ”

"It's... Said she was both a hundred and two hundred years old. If you want to know, I suggest you visit the shrine where the festival is held on the island. ”

"Shrine?"

"Shimabukuro's great-granddaughter, Junhui, grew up with Saori and should be there."

Hearing that the other party asked them to find someone else, Hattori was a little speechless, how did they feel like a ball being kicked around?

Walking out of the souvenir shop, Hattori sighs? "Where's the shrine?"

"I know, I'll take you!" The garden jumps to the front? Proudly lead the way for everyone. They've already been to the shrine in the morning? Know the way.

Hattori Heiji in the back looked at Kamikawa with half-moon eyes open, "When did you guys come?" ”

"I arrived yesterday afternoon."

"Just the two of you?" The fire of gossip in Conan's heart burned brightly.

Kamikawa squinted at him instantly? "You want to be a third party?"

"Uh......" Conan didn't know what to do with him for a moment.

Hattori suddenly approached Kamikawa, and the gossip on his face was strong? "How's your progress going? Are they together? ”

"Nope."

"Huh? All out to play together? Why haven't we been together yet? ”

"Then why aren't you and He Ye together?" Kamikawa asked rhetorically.

"Why should I be with her?"

Conan & Kamikawa: "......"

"When I didn't ask."

"What do you mean, obviously we like each other, why aren't we together?" Hattori didn't give up.

Conan glanced at Hattori sympathetically, this stupid baby? I don't know when I'll be able to open my mind.

"Wait until you see your relationship with Ye before you ask me this question."

Hattori groping the back of his head blankly? Does he have anything else to do with Heye?

Maori Kogoro squinted his eyes and swept at the three guys in the back, and now the young man really knows how to play. I think he and Yingli got married as soon as they graduated......

Forget it, don't think about it.....

The clouds in the sky have not changed yet, and there is no sign of rain.

Everyone walked all the way to the shrine? Find the shrine shrine on duty, Shimabukuro Kimi.

Hearing their question, Kimie Shimabukuro burst out laughing.

"How could my great-grandmother be two hundred years old! In fact, my great-grandmother turned 130 this year? You only need to check the household registration and you will know immediately! ”

said, she was a little helpless, "It's just that she has lived a little longer than ordinary people, and she has been talked about like this......"

The corners of Conan's mouth twitched, where is this to live a little longer......

"Excuse me, then, where is this great-grandmother of yours now?"

"She is in her room now, blessed with the arrows she is going to send out for tonight's celebration."

"Did your great-grandmother really eat mermaid meat?" Kogoro Mori was skeptical about the authenticity of the incident.

"Huh?" Kimie Shimabukuro was a little stunned, and then it was as if she had heard some funny joke, even more exaggerated than when they had just asked their great-grandmother how old she was.

She paused for a while before she stopped laughing, "There are no such animals as mermaids in this world, and those are all nonsense from others!" ”
