Chapter 17: The Mermaid

"So, how old is the old lady's actual age now?" , Heiji Hattori asked.

"This ...... There are a lot of people who say she's 100 or 200 years old, but if you want to know, I suggest you visit the shrine where the festival is held on the island. ", the boss suggested.

"Shrine?"

"Well, Junhui, the great-granddaughter of Shimabukuro's mother-in-law who grew up with Saori, should also be there, if you want to find Saori, you can find Junhui." , the boss continued.

When Hattori heard this, he said with a speechless look on his face, "How did we become a ball ......?"

From the moment they came to the island, they were kicked around like a ball, and when they found someone, they were immediately called to find another person to find out what was going on.

But speechless to speechless, the investigation still has to continue, and everyone immediately walked in the direction of the shrine.

Soon, the group arrived at the American Shrine, where they could see a shrine maiden receiving visitors and arranging various matters for the celebration.

Without asking, they knew that this witch was the Shimabukuro Kimime they were looking for, and everyone immediately stepped forward to ask about Shimabukuro's mother-in-law.

"Huh?"

When he saw Shimabukuro Junhui, Ye Siyu raised his eyebrows slightly, and he found that Shimabukuro Junhui exuded a vitality that was different from ordinary people.

The spiritual power was released, and it instantly enveloped Shimabukuro Junhui, investigating what was going on with the extraordinary vitality in her body.

No matter how strong a normal person's vitality is, as long as it does not reach a critical point to become an extraordinary life, then there will not be such an obvious breath.

And Shimabukuro Junhui is different, her vitality strength is not high, and she is two or three percent taller than ordinary people, but her vitality is extremely active, if the vitality of ordinary humans is cold water, then her vitality is boiling boiling water, which is about to overflow in the body.

This situation is not uncommon in multiple planes, but it is the first time that Ye Siyu has encountered it in this world.

In addition to the abnormal vitality, Ye Siyu also discovered one thing, that is, although Shimabukuro Junhui looks no different from ordinary humans on the outside, her body organs are many different from ordinary people, the most prominent is that her neck has a structure similar to her cheeks.

It's just that these cheek structures don't seem to be activated, and they have been hidden.

"Merfolk."

This was the first thought that popped into Ye Siyu's mind after observing the various conditions of Shimabukuro Junhui's body.

American Island is also known as Fish-Man Island, and now there is such an existence as Shimabukuro Junhui whose body structure is different from ordinary people, except for mermaids, Ye Siyu can't think of other possibilities.

This discovery made Ye Siyu excited, and he finally found the extraordinary power of this world.

"Hello, is there something on my face?" , Just when Shimabukuro Kimie showed Conan and others that her great-grandmother needed to pray for the celebration, she noticed some discomfort, as if she was being targeted by a hunter, and finally she found the culprit who caused her discomfort, Ye Siyu.

"No, you don't have anything dirty on your face." , Ye Siyu shook his head.

Although it has now been confirmed that Shimabukuro Kimime is a mermaid, he also found that the Shimabukuro Kimime in front of him does not seem to have activated the bloodline belonging to the mermaid, and can only be regarded as an ordinary person.

In addition, the current situation is not suitable for talking about this matter, so Ye Siyu did not say it explicitly, but planned to wait for Shimabukuro Junhui to do further investigation after there was one person left.

Shimabukuro Junhui frowned slightly, she didn't understand what Ye Siyu meant, but she didn't care, as a witch, she had seen a lot of strange tourists, and she had more important things to deal with next, so she didn't bother to pay attention to the rest.

While Shimabukuro continued to communicate with Maori Kogoro and others, Ye Siyu began to think about other things.

If Shimabukuro-kune is really a mermaid, then it means that some of the otherworldly beings that appeared in Conan are likely to exist.

It's just that there aren't many cases of transcendent beings that have appeared in Conan, except for the two cases of the Kiritengu incident and the weirdness of the Tottori Spider House, the rest of the cases are more about some legends, and there is no clarity on specific transcendent beings.

Suddenly, Ye Siyu thought of one thing, that is, Conan has a sister chapter called "Magic Fight".

The specific content of Magic Kaito is Kuroba Kaito, a high school student who is good at magic, and is the son of the late world-class magician Kuroba Thief. Once, Kaito found the costume that his father had hidden before his death, and only then did he realize that his father was actually the "strange thief Kidd" who caused a sensation in the world. And,Eyeing the mysterious organization of legendary gems scattered around the world.,It's investigating something related to the death of his father.。 In order to find out the true face of that organization, Kaito became the second-generation "Kidd the Monster Thief" and continued to steal.

Although it is said to be a sister chapter, in essence, the two have no affiliation, and it can also be said that they are two completely different works, they are the same only that there are similar characters in them, just like a parallel universe.

However, unlike Conan, Magic Kaito clearly indicates the existence of supernatural forces such as magic.

Now that there is such a fish-man as Kimie Shimabukuro who cannot exist in the world of Conan, does that mean that this world is actually a world dominated by magic Kaito, rather than a world dominated by Conan.

The more he thought about it, the more Ye Siyu felt that it was possible.

It's just that Ye Siyu's memory of Magic Kuaito is limited to some information obtained in the past because of curiosity in Baidu, and he only knows that the protagonist of Magic Kuaito is the strange thief Kidd Black Feather Kuaito and the names of some plot characters, and Ye Siyu is not clear about the rest of the things.

Therefore, if Ye Siyu wants to truly understand the extraordinary power of this world, he must find the monster thief Kidd and use him to contact Koizumi Hongzi, who is really magical in Magic Fight.

Of course, these things will not be done until he finishes the incident on Mermaid Island.

While Ye Siyu was thinking about related matters, Shimabukuro Junhui said goodbye to Mori Kogoro and others to deal with the celebration, and Mori Kogoro and others, who did not find useful clues, could only give up, planning to wait for the celebration to end and see if Men Xie Saori was really missing out because of fear, or what happened.

"Xiaolan, I have some things to leave, let's meet in the evening." , Watching Shimabukuro Junhui leave, Ye Siyu said to Xiaolan and Yuanshan and Ye who got the number plate on the side.

"Ye San, where are you going?" , Xiaolan asked curiously.

"Find a merfolk." , Ye Siyu said meaningfully.

Since Shimabukuro Kimime is a mermaid, it means that there are mermaids in this world, and he doesn't think that only Shimabukuro Kimie still exists in this world, and even if she is really the last mermaid, then there should be a mermaid corpse, so he plans to look for it on this small island to see if he can find other mermaids.

"Merfolk? Could it be that there are really human beings on this island? Xiaolan asked curiously.

"Didn't you already see each other?" , Ye Siyu chuckled.

"Just met?"

Xiaolan and Yuanshan and Ye glanced at each other, and they all saw the doubts in each other's eyes, and began to think about when they had seen a mermaid.

"Brother Siyu, do you mean Miss Shimabukuro?" , When Xiaolan and Yuanshan and Ye really couldn't figure out which person Ye Siyu was talking about, Conan spoke.

According to his analysis, the only mermaid that is most in line with what Ye Siyu said is Shimabukuro Junhui, the granddaughter of the old man who claims to have eaten mermaid meat.

Ye Siyu did not answer in detail, but smiled mysteriously, and then left under the eyes of everyone.

"This guy must be playing tricks, I see where there are mermaids in this world, magicians and other favorite things are to use the unknown to fool people." , Hattori Heiji muttered, for Ye Siyu, a magician, his favorability has definitely fallen to the freezing point.

Ye Siyu, who said goodbye to Xiaolan and the others, released his spiritual power to the greatest extent while strolling, covering as much as possible in order to find the other mermaids hidden on this small island.

It's just that Ye Siyu was surprised that he searched around the town for a long time and didn't find the existence of a second suspected mermaid.

Seeing this, Ye Siyu did not continue to look in the town, but prepared to look in the jungle of the island, if he was a mermaid, he would also hide in some places with few people.

It's a pity that the result is the same as in the town, Ye Siyu still hasn't found a mermaid, depending on the situation, Shimabukuro Junhui is the only mermaid on this small island.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the rest of the merfolk have been transferred from the land to the sea and do not continue to live on land.

However, the specific situation still needs to be confirmed by Shimabukuro Junhui, otherwise any more speculation is just speculation and cannot provide further evidence.

……

At night, the dugong celebration officially began, and Ye Siyu found Maori Kogoro and others who had taken up their positions early.

"Ye San, have you found the mermaid?" Seeing Ye Siyu coming back, Xiaolan immediately leaned up and asked curiously, Yuan Shan and Ye Ye also looked at Ye Siyu with curious eyes, and Conan and the others on the side also pricked up their ears.

Although they believe in their hearts that there are no mermaids in this world, they often have gossip hearts and are also a little curious.

"Nope." , Ye Siyu shook his head and said.

"I said a long time ago that there are no mermaids in this world, and only fools like Ye you can believe it." When Hattori heard this, he immediately laughed.

"Can't you be more romantic?" , Toyama and Ye, who were hit, were so angry that they directly pinched Hattori Heiji's waist and twisted it, making him scream in pain.

The reason why girls like mermaids, in addition to their beauty, the most important thing is that mermaids can make people stay young forever, this is the reason why girls like mermaids, and now hope is shattered, others are still mocking on the side, and no girl will not be angry.

"Knock knock!"

At this time, a drum sounded, indicating that the festival was about to begin, and everyone stopped fighting and turned their attention to the shrine in the center of the festival.

"Ye Sang, do you think I will win the lottery later?" , Xiao Lan, who was holding the number plate, asked with some excitement, although she knew that even if she won the lottery, it would be impossible to live forever and stay young, but no one would not like to win the lottery, which was a sign of good luck.

"I don't know about the others, but you and Kazuha will both win the lottery." , Hearing Xiaolan's question, Ye Siyu replied.

"Huh? Why? Far mountains and leaves are puzzled.

"Because my eyes already see the future." , Ye Siyu pointed to his eyes and said.

"Really? That's just great. Yuanshan and Ye said excitedly, as a fan sister, she believed very much in what Ye Siyu, a magician, said.

"This guy is lying again." , while rubbing his own pain from being twisted by Toyama and Ye, Hattori Heiji whispered to Conan.

"yes." , Conan nodded in agreement.

In the eyes of the two of them, Ye Siyu said such things just to amuse Xiaolan and Yuan Shan and Ye Xingxing.

As he spoke, the drumming stopped, and the two shrine staff opened the shrine door, revealing a short figure in a shrine maiden costume in the center of the shrine with her back to the crowd, and when the figure turned around, it could be seen that it was a short old woman wearing heavy makeup.

"It's a longevity woman!"

"The longevity woman has finally appeared!"

With the appearance of the longevity woman, the atmosphere of the scene instantly became warm, countless people took out the number plate, and some older people kept muttering about the blessing of the gods and Buddhas, and they were extremely excited.

"This is the longevity woman."

"This ...... It's so small. ”

"It's just an old woman with heavy makeup......"

Conan, who was originally in a mood mobilized by the surroundings, Heiji Hattori and Kogoro Mori all showed boring looks after seeing the true face of the longevity woman.

In the midst of the noise, the longevity woman walked out of the shrine with a long stick, and then placed it on the brazier in front of the shrine to light it, and then placed it on the gate of the shrine.

In the next second, the gate burst into flames to form words, causing bursts of exclamations.

Three, eight and four.

"Cut, it turned out that the winning number was burned out of the paper door." , Hattori Heiji complained that he thought something big would happen before, but who knew that it was such a little trick, and he saw through it at a glance.

"Oh my God! Really, yes, I'm in! There was a cheer from the crowd, and everyone looked at it and found that it was a woman they had met when they were looking for Saori Menxie today.

"Xiaolan, I've been hit."

"And Ye, I'm also hit."

As the woman's words fell, Toyama and Ye and Xiaolan also let out a burst of exclamations, making the three of Hattori Heiji, who felt a little bored on the side, look over in surprise.
