"Wait a minute, I've seen this before on a column called "The Incredible World". I still remember the title was 'Mermaid Suspense, Strange Corpses in Flames'. I can't forget that eerie and terrifying scene to this day. The background and soundtrack, this show seems to be divided into two phases, the other phase is about the immortal old woman..." Xiaolan asked about this, suddenly screamed, and at the same time completely activated the soundtrack that was like a magic sound.
"I think I've watched this show too, but the background sound was too scary, so I stopped watching it." He Ye echoed.
"Indeed, the background music is true to the underworld, and everyone went there to popularize science, but the TV station had to adjust the underworld effect. People who didn't know it thought it was a cemetery adventure show." Hoshino Sora also complained about this program.
"Oh, if you say that, I also have an impression. In that episode, Xiaolan, you almost dislocated my arm." Mouri Kogoro also remembered it, and his right arm seemed to hurt vaguely. Anyway, that episode The column didn't scare him, but Xiaolan's stress reaction almost frightened him, "I remember that issue, it seemed that there was a fire in the warehouse and a strange charred corpse was discovered..."
Shimabukuro Kimie quickly waved her hand and said: "That's just the body of an ordinary middle-aged woman, not a mermaid. TV shows are all exaggerated..."
"What, didn't you see it with your own eyes? Why are you denying it?" Ebihara Hisumi raised an eyebrow and said solemnly, "That bone is broken..."
Before she finished speaking, a voice came from behind, stopping her from continuing.
The person who came was a young man who was as dark as Kyogoku, but slightly lighter than Hattori. This man was none other than Fukuyama Rokuro, Ebihara Hisumi's fiancé.
Fukuyama Rokuro took Ebihara Hisumi away and advised Hoshino Sora and others not to waste time here. If they want to find Kadowaki Saori, they should go directly to her house to investigate.
With that said, he took Ebihara Hisumi away.
"Broken bones? What's wrong?" Hattori frowned, recalling what Ebihara Hisumi had not finished just now.
"Oh, although the body that was found was hit by a collapsed pillar in the lower body below the waist, after lifting the pillar, the firefighters found that the body had no legs. Because of this, that TV show thought it was a mermaid. corpse." Hoshino Sora had watched that episode, so he explained, "Of course, there is actually a doubt about this matter. If the original owner of the corpse was a disabled person who lost his legs, it could also be explain."
"Well, you are right, but this raises another question. Why is a disabled person with limited mobility in the warehouse? And at the scene after the fire, the firefighters did not find any items such as wheelchairs, so , how did she get in?" Mouri Kogoro said solemnly.
"Perhaps it was not an accident caused by an accidental fire at all, but... a homicide!" As soon as Hoshino Sora finished speaking, he keenly noticed that Shimabukuro Kimie's body was shaking slightly, and a sad look appeared on his face, and then she subconsciously said goodbye Turn your face away from everyone's sight.
"Kill him?" Xiaolan and Heye exclaimed.
Hattori and Conan pondered, what Akora said was not unreasonable, and there was indeed the possibility of committing suicide.
"Whether it was homicide or not, there is no way to know the truth now." Mouri Kogoro shook his head and sighed.
"Well, the mystery in front of us has not been solved yet." Hattori nodded, "But then again, Miss Saori has been missing for three days, why are you good friends not worried at all?"
"Because this has happened many times, Saori will run away from home at every turn." Shimabukuro Kimie explained.
"Why is this happening?" Xiaolan and Heye asked in unison.
"Because her father is a heavy drinker. Once he drinks, he doesn't care about anything else..." Shimabukuro Kimie said helplessly.
"Did someone hear this?" Xiaolan heard this and looked at her father, the meaning in her eyes should not be too obvious.
The corner of Mouri Kogoro's mouth twitched, he turned his head away and muttered in a low voice: "I am having a drink to enjoy myself."
Conan: "..."
Do you still call this a drink? If you drink a lot, you are not allowed to dip into the wine vat!
"Then can you take us to Miss Saori's house?" Hattori asked Shimabukuro Kimie.
"Okay, but we have to wait until the festival is over. The Dugong Festival is about to be held here, so there must be no one in Saori's house now." Shimabukuro Kime agreed, and then took out two more wooden signs from his pocket. Xiang Xiaolan and Heye asked, "Would you two ladies want to try your luck and participate in the Dugong Festival?"
"Eh?" Xiaolan and Heye looked confused.
Shimabukuro Kimie explained: "In fact, the most important activity of the Dugong Festival is to draw lots. Everyone will buy a number plate with numbers written on it in advance. Once the number on the number plate is consistent with the number announced by grandma at the festival, you can Get the Dugong Arrow.”
"So this is how the Dugong Arrow was obtained!" Xiaolan suddenly realized, and then thought of Kadowaki Saori's panic because of losing the arrow, and couldn't help but hesitate.
Upon seeing this, Shimabukuro June reiterated: "There is really no curse on the Dugong Arrow, you can rest assured. I only have the last two pieces left here. This is because an old couple had something to cancel this morning. Returned..."
"Xiaolan, let's give it a try, maybe we can really stay young forever." He Ye Yi was moved, after all, this is what she came for.
Even if there really might be a curse, wouldn't it be fine as long as it's not lost? As long as it is not lost, the effect of the Dugong Arrow is positive!
As a result, both girls bought two number plates. He Ye chose 18 first and Xiaolan chose 401.
…
As the sunset gradually disappeared on the horizon, the area around the temple became more and more lively. Hoshino Sora and his party rushed to the scene after dinner and heard a deafening drum sound echoing around the temple.
They arrived just in time, and the most important part of the festival, the drawing of lots, began.
The originally closed temple door was slowly opened by two women in witch costumes. After crossing a burning fire at the bottom of the temple steps, everyone saw a short figure behind the door. To everyone.
She is the goddess Shimabukuro Yakoto. According to her great-granddaughter Shimabukuro Kimie, she is one hundred and thirty years old this year.
As her figure appeared, the men and women, old and young, who gathered outside the temple, shouted in unison, 'Lord Goddess'.
Amidst the endless calls, the Goddess turned around and walked towards the door.
"Hey, this makeup..." Hoshino Sora gasped, "It's too exaggerated. By the way, a 130-year-old man wears such thick makeup. What do everyone think?"
"Speaking of which, she is too young, not much older than Conan..." Mouri Kogoro was stunned when he saw it.
"After all, as you age, your body will inevitably shrink. If she is not tall to begin with, then this height is understandable." Hattori said.
"No, isn't it about immortality? Where is this immortality?" Hoshino Sora discovered the blind spot, "No one finds it strange?"
"Because the goddess ate mermaid meat after she was old, her immortality was maintained in her old age." A young man on the side explained after hearing Hoshino Sora's words.
