Chapter 344: I'm a staunch materialist

"One hundred and thirty years old......

Everyone was speechless for a while.

One hundred and thirty years old is not young, right?

You can go directly to the Guinness Book of World Records......

"Is the household registration still there?"

Fujino on the side was a little surprised.

If he remembered correctly, the so-called fate, that is, the grandmother of the Shimabukuro family, was actually dead a long time ago.

I didn't expect that the household registration of that fate was still there.

It must be the special care given by the village committee on the island, right?

After all, this is the backbone of the island's tourism industry to some extent, and if it is found out that the household registration is dead, then continue to cheat money...... Ah no, flickering, it's definitely not going to work.

"I'm one hundred and thirty years old, ah......"

Hattori Heiji sighed, and at the same time his head was a little messy.

So far, he has not found any clues related to the kidnapping of Saori Monxie.

What is now known is that Saori lost the Dugong's Arrow a week ago, and then began to fear retribution from the merfolk...... Then he was entrusted, and Fujino...... Then, he was kidnapped.

Now the only breakthrough is the line of dugong arrows......

So, he looked around curiously, and asked Shimabukuro Kimie, "Well, where is your grandmother now?" ”

"She's now in the shrine giving magic to the arrows that will be sent out at the festival later...... If you want to see her, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until after the festival. ”

Shimabukuro-kune thought about it for a while, and immediately made up an excuse to perfunctory everyone.

In fact, she is the only one left in the Shimabukuro family.

And Grandma Mingyu was also pretended by her using disguise techniques.

In order to fulfill my mother's last wish, so that the mermaid festival on this small island can continue......

"The ......"

At this time, Mori Kogoro suddenly remembered the rumor that the old woman had eaten mermaid meat that Hattori Heiji had mentioned before.

Combined with one hundred and thirty years old, it seems a somewhat unreasonable age.

He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Excuse me, Miss Shimabukuro, has your grandmother really eaten mermaid meat?" ”

"Huh?"

Shimabukuro Junhui was stunned when she heard this, and she couldn't help laughing: "Where in this world can there be a creature like a mermaid, it's just a rumor!" ”

"What about the Dugong Arrow?"

Xiaolan couldn't help but come over and ask, and He Ye continued: "I heard that arrow has a curse, if you lose it, you will be retaliated by the mermaid or something......"

"Actually, there's no such thing as revenge."

Putting away her smile, Shimabukuro Kimime explained seriously: "My deceased mother once told me that the Dugong Arrow was originally called the Demon Breaking Arrow, which was used to remove the evil of monsters, but my grandmother lived a long life, so the people on the island forcibly attached it to it and called it the Dugong Arrow with the same sound...... When I handed over the arrow, I was afraid that those who could not live long would come back to find trouble, so when I handed it over, I would say that if I didn't believe in the power of the arrow, or if I lost the arrow, I would bring disaster or something, but there was no such thing at all......"

"Hmph, Junhui, the reason why you say this is because you haven't seen your grandmother's power at all, right?"

At this time, a woman wearing a purple dress, white high heels, long brown hair, two studs pierced ears, and a woman with the style of a royal sister walked over, and her tone was slightly frivolous: "She must have eaten mermaid meat...... Just three years ago, merfolk corpses were found on this island! ”

"Are you talking about "Secret Visit" that was broadcast on TV three years ago! The Truth About the Mermaid's Corpse? ”

Xiaolan recalled, and unexpectedly seemed to remember something, and suddenly mentioned it.

"I think I've heard of that too......

He Ye also thought about it and echoed: "It should be in the warehouse, a strange corpse was found or something." ”

"Do you remember that long ago?"

Fujino glanced at Xiaolan in surprise.

As we all know, Xiaolan is nicknamed Three Seconds Lan, and generally speaking, she only has a three-second memory.

Able to accurately recall reports from three years ago......

It really made Fujino feel that Xiaolan was possessed by something.

"Of course I do."

Xiaolan obviously didn't get to Fujino, and chuckled: "After all, that incident caused a lot of uproar at the time, and many important people went, and at that time, the garden mentioned things like mermaids to me every day, saying that eating mermaid meat can lead to immortality, and she also wanted to eat it." ”

"I see."

Fujino nodded, finally understood.

If you think about it, this is also the style of the garden.

If that's the case, it's normal for Xiaolan to remember this incident.

Retracting his thoughts, Fujino thought for a moment and said, "I remember that the corpse's legs and leg bones have been smashed by the beams...... That's why it looks like a mermaid corpse......"

"That's not smashed!"

Ebihara Sumi still wanted to defend something: "That's definitely the corpse of a mermaid!" ”

"Alright, Sumi!"

Shimabukuro Junhui looked back at Ebihara Sumi, looking a little helpless: "That's just an exaggeration by the media!" ”

"Why do you say that?"

Ebihara Suzumi showed a mysterious look: "You should have seen it at the time, right?" The shape of that broken bone is very strange, and that weird ......"

Shimabukuro Kimime looked at Ebihara Shoumi, and there was a faint hint of murderous intent in her eyes.

These three people are all friends she has played with since childhood, and to some extent, they can be regarded as her childhood sweethearts.

Originally, she had no reason to kill these people.

But if it is to kill her mother's enemy, even if she is a good friend, it can't stop her from taking revenge.

That's right, Ebihara Sumi, Saori Menxie, and Naoko Kuroe, these three people are the real murderers who killed their mothers.

If it weren't for the fact that Men Xiesa Ori lost the Dugong Arrow a few days ago and came to her for help in fear, she probably wouldn't have noticed the truth of this matter in her life.

Fujino also glanced at Ebihara Sumi.

As a spoiler dog, he naturally knows this.

If he remembered correctly, this man should have been the first victim.

Well, he's going to do the mermaid renovation project in the same order......

Fujino's eyes narrowed slightly, and he silently marked a target to start with.

"Don't talk about Shoumei, there are some things that are not suitable for outsiders."

At this time, a black-skinned man named Rokuro Fukuyama came over, pressed Ebihara Shomi's shoulder, did not continue, and turned to look at everyone: "I heard that you are the police who came to investigate Saori's kidnapping, if you want to investigate any clues, I still suggest you go to Saori's house to have a look." ”

"Merfolk Carcass ......"

Hattori Heiji frowned, looked at the left Fukuyama Rokuro and Ebihara Shoumi, and frowned.

How does it feel like it's getting more and more troublesome...... There really was something like a mermaid corpse.

But now there is a clue, that is, to go to Saori's house to have a look.

It's still more reliable for people of the same skin color, everyone else is talking about gossip or something, and it's not useful at all.

Thinking about it, he turned to Shimabukuro Kimie and asked, "Then, can you please take us to Saori's house to have a look?" ”

"Absolutely."

Shimabukuro-kimi nodded gently, "But that won't have time until after the festival is over." ”

"By the way, what kind of event is your festival?"

The two girls accompanying him were obviously not interested in the case, and Xiaolan stepped forward and asked curiously towards Shimabukuro Junhui.

"It's kind of like a lottery or something, where we sell the number plates to the participants in advance, and then we draw the lucky audience against the number cards given by my grandmother to give dugong arrows."

Speaking of this, Shimabukuro Junhui seemed to remember something, took out two number plates from the trouser pocket of the red skirt, and handed them to He Ye and Xiaolan: "I just have two number plates in my hand that the two old couples returned this morning, do you two want to try your luck?" ”

"Huh?"

Xiaolan and Heye were stunned for a moment, "Is it okay?" ”

"Of course."

Shimabukuro Kimie smiled softly, "Maybe this time the two of you will really be able to gain the ability of immortality." ”

Xiaolan smiled at Ye and took the number plate.

"By the way, Miss Junhui, where can I buy this thing?"

Fujino glanced at the number plate in Xiaolan and Heye's hands, and suddenly raised his mouth.

"Does Detective Fujino want to try his luck too?"

Kimime Shimabukuro glanced at Fujino in surprise, and then explained with a chuckle, "But I don't have any extra number plates in my hand, so if I want, I still have to go to the event point where the festival is held on Kojima to buy ......."

Fujino shook his head: "If you want to buy it, then forget it." ”

He wanted a number plate, but he just didn't want it in vain.

If you spend money to buy ...... That's just a big deal.

After all, fate is Kimie Shimabukuro, and she lets whoever she wants to win, and there is no such thing as luck at all.

…………

If you want to go to the Monya's house, you need to wait until after Shimabukuro Kimie holds the festival.

During this period, everyone was not idle, and planned to walk around the island first.

Since it is a festival, the atmosphere on the island is very lively.

On the streets of the township, there are still some scattered stalls selling some small snacks.

For example, fish balls, apple candy, fried noodles and the like.

"I don't know if I can get that dugong arrow......"

Yuanshan and Ye held the number plate in their hands and walked in front with an expectant look.

"Of course you can."

Xiaolan on the side smiled: "If I can't do it, I'll lend you my share of luck, maybe I can really get a dugong arrow tonight." ”

"Thank you, Lan!"

and Ye affectionately grabbed Xiaolan's arm.

"Okay, I'm just talking."

Xiaolan was a little helpless: "How can a thing like luck really lend out." ”

"Maybe it really can."

Fujino, who was following behind, suddenly said: "After all, I feel that Xiaolan, your luck has always been very good. ”

"That's right! Sister Xiaolan can draw some first prize or second prize every time she draws a lottery. ”

Conan also nodded in agreement, and when he heard Fujino say this, he also reacted, it seems that Xiaolan has always been lucky and can draw anything.

"Hey, Kazuha, don't you really believe that any dugong arrow can get the ability to make people live longer?"

Pingji held the fish balls packaged in paper bags, and looked at the two people who were holding the number plate excitedly and looked expectant, and complained: "How can this kind of thing come true, if there is magic, killing people is not too simple." ”

To be honest, why don't you take a look at Kudo around you, beauties!

This kid is one of the cases of getting smaller.

If you have the kung fu to ask for a signature, it is better to ask how this kid became smaller after being knocked out.

"Of course, I don't believe in longevity......"

He Ye waved the number plate in his hand: "But I'd rather believe it than not." ”

"Tsk......"

Hattori Heiji was a little helpless, and turned his head to look at Fujino again: "So, just looking at your appearance, you seem to be interested in that dugong arrow." ”

"I don't believe it, I'm a staunch materialist."

Fujino looked at Hattori Heiji and said firmly: "It's just not for nothing, maybe you can get a souvenir or something, of course, if you have to spend money, forget it." ”

"Haha......"

Hattori Heiji glanced at Fujino, his head full of black lines.

Your materialism is literal materialism, right?

"But ......"

At this time, Fujino thought for a while, and suddenly said meaningfully: "Magic, ghosts, and even mermaids or other monsters, maybe they really exist in this world, and they exist objectively." ”

Fujino thought back to the witch for a moment, but he was a little curious about what magic felt.

As a staunch materialist, Fujino did not believe in cow ghosts and snake gods.

Of course, that's only in the case of fiction and all fabrication.

Kexue world, not to mention cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, magic exists in reality.

If his materialism hadn't been firm enough, he would have been abducted directly by the witch last time.

And flying all over the sky on a broomstick, it's really cool!

But he was also a little curious, does that thing really not jam when riding a broomstick?

"Huh?"

Hattori was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "What you said can't be true, right?" ”

"Who knows?"

Fujino shook his head and didn't continue: "But with the current scientific and technological strength, maybe in a few decades and hundreds of years, human beings will be able to develop an elixir, and then there will be no need to pray for such an unrealistic thing." ”

"Hmm......"

Conan on the side was speechless for a while.

How does this lamentation feel a little familiar?

Suddenly, I felt that Fujino was possessed by a certain Lori.

It's a family that lives together.

However, he wanted to say, let alone decades later, now the elixir of rejuvenation has been put into practice!

There is one thing to say, if you have the kung fu to ask for a signature, it is better to go to that organization to ask for medicine.

It is estimated that the probability of becoming smaller is higher than the probability of finding longevity.

He's a victim of the elixir......
