Next to Shu Yunwen and others, the old man holding a torch changed his face suddenly after hearing Shu Yunwen's words.
While floating in the air, Miyano Akemi nodded and continued to gesture with her hands: "That's right! As soon as I flew into the room just now, I immediately saw the miko hiding in a small cubicle, removing her disguise... …”
Miyano Akemi was making gestures when suddenly the noise around her disappeared, and then a female voice sounded:
"Everyone, please listen carefully. We will issue the Dugong Arrow in front of the Mermaid Falls in an hour. Please wait there immediately. Thank you for your cooperation!"
When Shu Yunwen and others heard the female voice, they turned around and saw a beautiful witch standing in front of the door, talking about the next process.
Miyano Akemi saw the witch and immediately gestured: "Master Yunwen, the witch pretending to be a longevity woman is her!"
"Is that her?" Shu Yunwen narrowed his eyes, and Koizumi Hongzi next to him suddenly said, "I know this person's name. Her name is Shimabukuro Kime, and she is the great-grandson daughter of Changshou. Yesterday, when I was looking for Changshou, I have met her, but I didn’t expect that the longevity woman who lives under the same roof as her is actually her disguise..."
After Koizumi Hongzi finished speaking, Loli Ai suddenly asked: "Then why did she pretend to be her great-grandmother? Is it to swallow the dugong arrows? Speaking of which, dugong arrows are so precious, if she takes advantage of her identity as a longevity woman If you replace it secretly and sell it to others secretly..."
Shu Yunwen couldn't help but say "uh" after hearing Loli'ai's words——
By the way, Loli Ai’s analysis does make sense!
Could it be that the shrine maiden named Shimabukuro Kimie was really playing dirty tricks by pretending to be a longevity woman?
Just as Shu Yunwen was thinking about it, Kimijima Kana also said: "Damn it! How could she deceive everyone! Teacher, how about we expose her now!"
Before Kimijima Kana finished speaking, the uncle holding a torch next to him suddenly said urgently: "Everyone, please don't do this! Please!"
When Shu Yunwen and others heard this, they couldn't help but turn around and frown slightly: "I'm sorry, who are you?"
"My surname is Xiaolin, Masaki Kobayashi, and I am from the village office on this island." Masaki Kobayashi introduced himself, and then continued anxiously, "...Dear guests, I can assure you that Jun Hui pretends to be Changshou Po is entirely for our island and has absolutely no intention of seeking personal gain for herself..."
"Huh? How do you know?" Shu Yunwen raised his eyebrows, and Xiao Lin turned to look at Shimabukuro Kimie and the curious crowd who heard the movement, and said in a low voice:
"If you want to know, I can explain it to you... But, can we change places?"
Shu Yunwen was slightly stunned, and after thinking that he was bored anyway, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, then we will listen to your explanation!"
…
Inside the shrine.
After Shimabukuro Kime finished explaining the rest of the celebration process, she returned to the room.
Among the people participating in the celebration, Conan and Hattori Heiji glanced at Xiaolan and Kazuha who were chatting and cheering next to them. They curled their lips together, and then Hattori Heiji complained: "Really, I didn't expect Kazuha's luck to be quite good. Well, if someone gives you a number card, you can win it..."
"Yes!" Conan nodded and glanced at his Xiaolan——
Hmm... Speaking of which, he originally thought Xiaolan would win! After all, Xiaolan's luck is incredible...
Conan murmured in his heart, and Xiaolan next to him looked at Heye with envy, and said slightly curiously: "Speaking of which, Heye was so lucky to draw a dugong arrow, and he didn't know the other two people who had drawn it. Who is it? It’s really enviable!~”
After Xiaolan finished speaking, Conan glanced to the side and said casually: "I think it should be Miss Kuroe Naoko and Miss Ebihara Hisumi we met today, right?"
"Ah? Are they two of them?" Kazuha blinked in surprise, and Koshimizu Nanatsuki next to him looked around and nodded:
"Miss Kuroe Naoko did win. She was happily saying just now that she had won! As for Miss Kotobuki, although she didn't say it out loud, but you can see her happy look, she probably won too. Already..."
"Really?" Xiaolan and Heye were slightly startled. When they turned around, they saw the happy Ebihara Hisumi nearby, and they couldn't help but feel a little convinced.
Immediately afterwards, Xiaolan looked at Koshizui Nanatsuki and asked strangely: "Detective Koshizui, what are you looking at?"
"I'm looking for classmate Yunwen and the others." Nanatsuki Koshizui replied, continuing to look around, "It's strange, I saw them just now, why did they disappear all of a sudden?"
"Hmm... maybe you have already left?" Kazuha said casually, then held the number plate tightly with both hands and said, "Heiji, Xiaoran, and Detective Koshizui, we will be awarding Dugong Arrows later. , how about we go to the Mermaid Falls and wait?"
"Yeah, okay." Hattori Heiji nodded and raised his hand to look at his watch. "Anyway, our investigation is now at a deadlock. The next investigation will have to wait until the celebration is over and Ms. Shimabukuro is free..."
…
At 7:30 in the evening, Kobayashi Masaki’s home on America Island.
In the living room, Shu Yunwen and others sat down around the coffee table, listening to Kobayashi Masaki talking about Changshou Po:
"...The name of the longevity woman is Shimabukuro Yaqin. If you really want to say it, she is indeed a long-lived person. She lived a full 113 years. She is one of the rare longevity people..."
Shu Yunwen listened to Xiaolin Masaki's words and couldn't help but interrupt: "Wait! Mr. Xiaolin, you said that Changshou Po lived one hundred and thirteen years? So, you already knew that Changshou Po was dead?"
"Yes! Elderly people on the island actually know about Changshou Po's death." Masaki Kobayashi nodded and continued, "Chansou Po was born on the American Island and basically never left this place from birth to death. She has an extraordinary love for this small island. Since she served as the 'longevity woman' of the dugong celebration when she was seventy-three years old, she has been even more conscientious and dedicated every year."
"...She has served as the 'longevity woman' of the Dugong Festival for forty years. As she gets older, the reputation of the Dugong Festival on our island also grows, attracting many tourists every year. There are many People come here because of her longevity, which makes her happy but also feels a lot of pressure..."
"Seventeen years ago, Changshou Po finally came to the end of her life. Changshou Po, who loved the island very much, was worried that after her death, the tourists who came here because of her longevity would not come again, so when she was dying, she asked Chunmei, Junhui's mother, who also loves the island very much, asked her to put on makeup to look like her and continue to pretend to be the longevity woman..."
Shu Yunwen was speechless when he heard this: "So, starting from seventeen years ago, the longevity woman has been fake?"
