359. Man is worse than mermaid

Facts have proved that Zong Takuya's words directly pierced the soft underbelly of the American island chief.

The old village chief's lips trembled, staring at Zong Takuya in front of him in disbelief.

This young man doesn't talk about martial arts, he sneaked up on me, an old comrade!

For the head of the American island who is about to retire, he doesn't care whether it is the criminal police coming to the door or the accountability of the leader.

It's going to be a retiree, and no matter what the situation, it's going to give you a face.

But Zong Takuya was too ruthless, and he cut it directly at the entire American island.

Over the years, every time a reporter comes to report on the mermaid festival or mermaid legend, he, the village head, has an ambiguous attitude.

Isn't it just to develop tourism in the village?

Perhaps in another decade or twenty, the purpose of tourists visiting the American island will change from seeking dugong arrows to participating in mermaid festivals, but now the island's tourism industry needs to be supported by mermaid legends.

If at this time, people encounter that everything on the island is marketed, then what competition do they have in Fukui Prefecture, a small island hanging overseas, and other tourist attractions to compete for tourists?

He worked hard to develop the American island from a fishing village to a tourist city, and now let those people go back to live a life of fishing

It's impossible to think about.

It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

Once the situation that Zong Takuya said really happens, let alone himself, I'm afraid that his family will be poked in the back by the people on the island.

Words a little more extreme. It's not impossible to get killed.

Compared with the scribbled motives for killing in Rice Flower Town, the behavior of the head of the American island village smashing everyone's jobs is enough to make some hot-headed people in the village kill people with passion.

"Okay, I said"

The head of the American island village was drained of all his strength in an instant, and he slumped in his chair and spoke with difficulty.

Zong Takuya gave Amuro a covert look, and received a hint that Amuro stepped forward and looked like he was about to listen to the old village chief, and the voice recorder in his pocket also began to operate.

The island of the United States is also known as the island inhabited by mermaids, and the most crucial person on the island is the longevity woman who is known as the mermaid mother-in-law.

The mermaid shrine on the island should be called an American shrine to be exact.

Changshou Po used to be a shrine maiden in an American shrine, and she did live a long life, but there are no immortal people in this world.

So the former longevity woman died naturally.

At that time, because of the mermaid legend, the life of the villagers on the island gradually improved because of the tourists who came to visit the island, so the mother of the current shrine maiden Shimabukuro Kimie relied on superb makeup skills.

disguised herself as a longevity woman, and she herself faked her death through the shipwreck that her husband encountered.

As time passed, the longevity of the woman got older, the reputation of the mermaid mother on the American island grew, and the tourism industry on the island became better and better.

Basically, most of the people on the island live on American shrines.

Until the "accident" in the warehouse happened three years ago, burning the original longevity woman to death.

Originally, when all the villagers on the island thought that they were going to lose the pillar of the mermaid shrine, Longevity, Shimabukuro Kimie took over the baton of Longevity in the hands of her deceased mother.

One person plays two roles, and he is both the witch of the American shrine and the longevity of the American shrine.

"It sounds really moving, but it seems like the story of three generations of a family who have contributed to the whole village." Zong Takuya wiped away the tears that did not exist, and said with "emotion".

"But the village chief, I still have a doubt, that is, do other people in the village know the details of the longevity woman?"

"The younger generation on the island probably doesn't know, but the older people know about the longevity."

Zong Takuya clapped his hands: "Then the problem is." ”

"Please tell me if Miss Shimabukuro, the shrine maiden, knows this

I mean, many people on the island know about the fact that three generations of their mother and daughter have taken over the role of longevity? ”

The old village chief was silent and speechless, and at this time, the silence alone was enough to explain a lot.

"It seems that you know very well that Shimabukuro Kimie is not aware of this, and you have no intention of confessing to her.

You took advantage of this girl's sense of responsibility and mission to tie her firmly to the island, and tied her to the American shrine in order to make your tourism more developed.

Let these people in the village live a little better.

You didn't even give that kid a choice. ”

"Is this fair?"

At this moment, the head of the American island village is like a scumbag who is using cold violence, not saying a word, just silent.

Zong Takuya shook his head and got up to leave, but just as he walked to the door, the hoarse voice of the village leader came from behind him: "Actually, when Junhui's mother's body was found, we were ready for the dugong festival to stop.

But when the next day the longevity woman appeared in front of us again, we learned of the child's determination.

So everyone tacitly didn't say anything."

Zong Takuya, who stopped, sneered: "Come on, even if Shimabukuro Junhui decides to continue playing the longevity woman, it is not a reason for you to deprive her of telling her the truth."

She knows whether she will play the role of a longevity woman in the future and whether you tell her the truth or not are two different things. ”

"Make no mistake, you selfish devils."

After saying that, Zong Takuya and Amuro Toru left the village chief's office directly.

The things you want are already in hand, and this voice recorder in Amuro's pocket is the most perfect weapon for Zong Takuya to dig the foot of the wall.

Now, Sotoya has decided to meet his future excellent subordinates.

In front of the American shrine, Zong Takuya happened to meet Kimie Shimabukuro who was about to leave the shrine, and next to the shrine maiden stood a girl with yellow hair who looked nervous.

"Can we talk, Miss Shimabukuro?"

"I'm sorry, if there's nothing urgent, I'm going to accompany my friend to see a dentist in my hometown."

Shimabukuro Kimie politely refuses to treat Takuya Somune and Toru Amuro as tourists who want to get the dugong arrow in advance.

"Don't worry, we're just saying a few words, it won't be long, Sandaime."

Hearing Zong Takuya mention the three generations, Shimabukuro Junhui's instinctive expression tightened, and under the strange gaze of Saori Monkyo, he reopened the shrine and invited Zong Takuya to enter.

Invited to a seat, served tea, Shimabukuro Kimi's etiquette is meticulous.

After doing all this, Shimabukuro Kimi-e looked at Zong Takuya seriously and asked, "What is the purpose of the two of you coming here?" ”

"Maybe it's for the Dugong Arrow?"

"No kidding, can you tell if the three generations still believe in the legend of the mermaid that was made up?" A hint of disgust flashed in Kimie Shimabukuro's eyes.

It was as if the dugong arrow had become some untouchable taboo in her heart.

Zong Takuya smiled and glanced at the black shadow reflected in the paper door behind Kimie Shimabukuro, giving Amuro a look.

"Actually, we're here to recruit Miss Shimabukuro.

Are you interested in a job that is more promising than the shrine shrine maidens on the island? ”
