Looking at Shiho Miyano in front of him, Takato felt very surprised and panicked, and his body instinctively retreated half a step, but reason made Takato stop his movements - now he is a detective and wise Takato, and he shouldn't know the person in front of him! So, you have to behave very normally.

"What's wrong?"

Shiho Miyano stroked the sideburns on the right side with his right hand, walked up to Takato, and said in a cold tone, "Am I strange? ”

It seemed to be an inquiry about Takato's half-step back just now, and Miyano Shiho just stared at Takato, waiting for an answer.

"No, it's not!"

At first, he seemed to be a little nervous and incoherent, but he quickly recovered.

"It's just a bit of an accident."

Gao Yuan showed an embarrassed expression and said, "I didn't expect that the person who saved me was actually a great beauty like you." ”

"Oh, yes."

In a cold tone, Shiho Miyano turned his face away, walked a few steps to the side, and looked at the sea in the distance, as if he was not surprised by Takato's explanation.

Seeing that the other party didn't continue to ask, Gao Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief - although he did want to see you, to ask about the reason for the death of the original body, and some things about the original body, but it must not be now.

The current Miyano Shiho is still a member of the organization "Shirley", and the ghost knows what she will do when she discovers that she may have eaten aptx4869 but did not have the original body of death. Moreover, Gin and vodka should also be on the island, and it stands to reason that they will follow her, and it is very dangerous to stay with her for too long.

Soon, an atmosphere of silence hung between the two.

Although Gao Yuan wanted to find a reason to leave as soon as possible, as a person with a leg injury, it always seemed a little suspicious to want to leave alone. What's more, I didn't think there was anything at first, but now that I know that the person I met is Miyano Shiho, there is something that I am particularly concerned about - why, she appeared in the woods alone?

Looking at Shiho Miyano, who was facing away from him at this time, Takato didn't know what to say, at this time, if he was facing a stranger, how should he speak to be obviously more natural?

"By the way, why are you in the woods?"

Gao Yuan thought about it for a long time, but decided to ask so bluntly, anyone who saw a young woman alone in the woods at night would feel strange.

"Shouldn't there still be a dugong celebration now?"

"Dugong Arrow."

In a cold tone, Shiho Miyano said this, then turned around and looked at Takato, "Legend has it that whoever draws the arrow of the dugong can realize the dream of immortality." I didn't get it, so I came out for a walk. ”

Is that so?

Hearing this answer, Takato thought for a moment, and then felt puzzled - if it was someone else, he should have believed this answer, but if it was Miyano Shiho who said this, he would never believe it.

Not to mention that with the ability of the organization, it will not be impossible to get even an arrow. Just because Gin and vodka are also present, will Shiho Miyano be allowed to come out alone?

Just thinking so, Gao Yuan didn't show his confusion, but turned his head to look at the gravel made of rubble not far away, and what appeared to be the bones of a mermaid—it was more reasonable for them to act separately in search of the mermaid's grave.

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan suddenly realized something, that's right, they should be looking for the grave of the mermaid, but she can't tell herself this reason directly, so she will tell such a lie! Thinking about it this way, it makes sense that she would appear in the woods.

In that case, then I should believe her words!

"I see."

Saying this, Takato handed his number plate from his pocket to Shiho Miyano, number forty-four, if I remember correctly, it was the number that was drawn this time.

"In that case, this is for you. It's my thank-you gift. ”

Seeing this, Shiho Miyano asked with a puzzled expression, "What is this?" ”

But he still stretched out his hand, ready to take the wooden sign handed over by Gao Yuan.

"The number plate for drawing the Dugong's arrow, if I'm not mistaken, this number should have been drawn."

Gao Yuan said that he was about to hand the wooden card to Miyano Shiho, but when Gao Yuan's finger touched Miyano Shiho's finger, the cold touch made Gao Yuan startled, like a shy little boy, and immediately blushed, and then the wooden card in his hand was not held steadily and fell to the ground.

This is not acting, it is just Gao Yuan's sudden instinctive reaction, but such an accident just fits Gao Yuan's intention.

"Excuse me!"

Gao Yuan said in a panic, and then, Gao Yuan immediately bent down, picked up the wooden card, wiped the surface of the wooden card with the cuffs of his clothes, and then got up, spread the wooden card in the palm of his hand, and handed it to Miyano Shiho - this is just in case, and it is also under the accident just now, Gao Yuan thought of it in a whim.

Seeing that Shiho Miyano didn't react to this, but reached out and took the wooden card, Takato breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Shiho Miyano took the wooden card, looked at the number on it, forty-four, then put the number plate away, put it in the coat pocket on the right side, looked at Takato and said, "I remember, you said you were a detective." ”

"Yes, yes."

Gao Yuan replied, a little unclear.

Shiho Miyano continued to ask, "You gave me the number plate that drew the dugong arrow so casually, do you not believe in the legend of the island?" Or do you already know something as a detective? ”

For Miyano Shiho's sudden question, Takato was a little convinced that the other party really came to the island because of the legend on the island. And for these legends, as Gao Yuan, who has seen the original, naturally knows what is going on.

After thinking about it, Takato decided to tell Shiho Miyano the truth, and as for whether she believed it or not, he said something else.

So, Gao Yuan nodded and began to explain the matter of Mermaid Island.

From the beginning of Mermaid Island, which was sought after by the outside world, the news of the suspected mermaid bones that was discovered two years ago began, and Gao Yuan slowly unfolded the explanation.

The two were chatting while walking towards the Mermaid Falls.

"In other words, do you think that the mermaid bones reported in the news, without the lower half of the body, are actually the mother of the shrine lady in the shrine?"

Shiho Miyano asked after listening to Takato's words.

"Yes, after all, there are also news mentions that the police identified the skeleton and found that it was actually the remains of a middle-aged woman."

Takato said, "If the police's identification is correct, then what can be thought of is the bones of the mother of Miss Kimie Shimabukuro. Thinking of the elders of Miss Shrine Maiden's family, almost all of them died at sea before, and this cause of death has no bones, then a very reasonable conclusion can be drawn from the whole thing - the so-called longevity woman, most likely, is the female elders of the Shimabukuro family who faked their deaths, pretending! ”

Speaking of which, the two of them were already not far from the square of the Mermaid Falls.

Although along the way, there was no gin and vodka, but when I got here, it was better to go first, just in case, and it happened that the truth had been told to Miyano Shiho in this way of reasoning, so Takato said goodbye to Miyano Shiho.

Shiho Miyano saw Takato say goodbye and didn't choose to stop him, because even if he didn't choose to leave first, he would have to think of a reason to leave, and if Gin and Vodka saw that they were alone with a stranger, it would probably add to the trouble—but what did they do?

Without thinking much about it, Miyano Shiho looked at the back of Takato who limped away, and couldn't help but show a smile - sure enough, you don't look like him at all!

But—

Shiho Miyano raised his hand and looked at the inside of his cuffs, a trace of blood that had been deliberately glued when examining Takato's injury, thoughtfully.
