"So, how old is that old lady now?" Hattori Heiji asked.
"This...there are actually many people who say she is one hundred and two hundred years old. If you want to know, I suggest you go to the shrine where the celebration is held on the island.", the boss suggested.
"shrine?"
"Well, Grandma Shimabukuro's great-granddaughter Junhui, who grew up with Saori, should be there too. If you want to find Saori, you can look for Junhui.", the boss continued.
When Hattori Heiji heard this, he said with a speechless look on his face: "Why did we become a ball..."
Since arriving on the island, they have been kicked around like a ball. When they find one person, they are immediately called to find another person to understand the situation.
However, they were speechless. The investigation still had to continue, and everyone immediately walked towards the shrine.
Soon, the group arrived at the American Shrine, where they could see a witch receiving the tourists who came here and arranging various matters for the celebration.
Without asking, they knew that this miko was the Shimabukuro Kimie Mouri Kogoro and the others were looking for. Everyone immediately stepped forward to ask about Granny Shimabukuro.
"Um?"
When he saw Shimabukuro Kime, Ye Siyu raised his eyebrows slightly. He found that Shimabukuro Kime exuded a vitality that was different from ordinary people.
The spiritual power was released and instantly enveloped Shimabukuro June, investigating what was going on with the unusual vitality in her body.
No matter how strong the vitality of a normal person is, as long as it has not reached the critical point of becoming an extraordinary being, there will not be such an obvious aura.
But Shimabukuro Kimie is different. Her vitality is not very strong, only 20 to 30% higher than that of ordinary people, but her vitality is extremely active. If the vitality of ordinary humans is like cold water, then her vitality Even boiling water is almost overflowing from the body.
This kind of situation is not uncommon in multidimensional planes, but this is the first time Ye Siyu has encountered it in this world.
In addition to the abnormal vitality, Ye Siyu also discovered one thing, that is, although Shimabukuro Kime looks no different from ordinary humans, her body organs are different from ordinary people in many ways. The most prominent thing is that she has a gill-like shape on her neck. Structure.
It's just that these gill structures don't seem to be activated and have always been hidden.
"Mermaid."
This was the first thought that came to Ye Siyu's mind after observing Shimabukuro June's physical condition.
The American Island is also known as the Fish-Man Island. Now that there is a person like Shimabukuro Kimue with a body structure that is different from ordinary people, Ye Siyu can't think of any other possibility besides the mermaid.
This discovery made Ye Siyu very excited. He finally found the extraordinary power of this world.
"Hello, is there something on my face?" Just when Shimabukuro Kime told Conan and others that her great-grandmother needed to pray for the celebration, she noticed some discomfort, as if she was being targeted by a hunter, and finally she Then he found the culprit that caused his discomfort, Ye Siyu.
"No, there's nothing dirty on your face." Ye Siyu shook his head.
Although it was now confirmed that Shimabukuro Kimie was a mermaid, he also discovered that the Shimabukuro Kimie in front of him did not seem to have activated the bloodline of a mermaid and could only be regarded as an ordinary person.
In addition, the current situation was not suitable for talking about this matter, so Ye Siyu did not say it clearly, but planned to wait until Shimabukuro Kime was alone before conducting further investigations.
Shimabukuro Kimie frowned slightly. She didn't understand what Ye Siyu meant, but she didn't care. As a miko, she had seen many strange tourists, and she had more important things to deal with next, so she didn't have time to do it. Take care of the rest.
While Shimabukuro Kimie continued to communicate with Mouri Kogoro and others, Ye Siyu began to think about other things.
If Shimabukuro Kimie is really a mermaid, it means that some of the extraordinary creatures that appeared in Conan may really exist.
It's just that there aren't many cases of extraordinary beings that have appeared in Conan. Except for the two cases of the Kiriten Dog incident and the strange case of Tottori Spider House, the rest of the cases just involve some legends and do not specify specific cases. Extraordinary life.
Suddenly, Ye Siyu thought of something, that is, Conan has a companion chapter called "Magic Kaito".
The specific content of Magic Kaito is Kuroba Kaito, a high school student who is good at magic and is the son of the late world-class magician Kuroba Toichi. Once, Kaito discovered the clothes that his father had hidden before his death, and then he realized that his father was actually the world-famous "Phantom Thief Kidd". Furthermore, a mysterious organization that has its sights on legendary gems scattered around the world is investigating matters related to the death of his father. In order to find out the true identity of the organization, Kaito became the second generation "Phantom Thief Kidd" and continued to steal.
Although they are said to be sisters, they actually have no affiliation. It can also be said that they are two completely different works. The only thing they have in common is that similar characters appear in them, just like parallel universes.
However, Magic Kaito is different from Conan. Magic Kaito clearly shows the existence of supernatural power such as magic.
Now that there is a fish-man like Shimabukuro Kimie who cannot exist in the world of Conan, does that mean that this world is actually a world dominated by Magic Kaito, not a world dominated by Conan?
The more he thought about it, the more Ye Siyu thought it was possible.
It's just that Ye Siyu's memory of Magic Kaito is limited to some information he got from Baidu out of curiosity. He only knows that the protagonist of Magic Kaito is Kaito Kid Kuroba Kaito and the names of some plot characters. The rest is Ye Siyu. Not sure at all.
Therefore, if Ye Siyu wants to truly understand the extraordinary power of this world, he must find Kaitou Kidd and use him to contact the real magical Koizumi Hongzi in Magic Kaito.
Of course, these things need to wait until he ends the incident on Mermaid Island before he does it.
While Ye Siyu was thinking about related matters, Shimabukuro Kimie said goodbye to Mouri Kogoro and others and went to deal with the celebration. However, Moori Kogoro and others, who did not find any useful clues, could only give up and planned to wait for the celebration to end. Let’s see if Menxie Saori’s whereabouts are really unknown because of fear, or if something happened.
"Xiaolan, I have something to do and I need to leave for a while. Let's meet again in the evening." Watching Shimabukuro Kimie leave, Ye Siyu said to Xiaolan, Toyama and Ye who had received their number plates.
"Ye Sang, where are you going?" Xiaolan asked curiously.
"Looking for the mermaid." Ye Siyu said meaningfully.
Since Shimabukuro Kimie is a mermaid, it means that mermaids exist in this world. He does not think that Shimabukuro Kimie is the only mermaid still existing in this world. Moreover, even if she is really the last mermaid, she should still be a mermaid. The corpse was the right one, so he planned to search this island to see if he could find other mermaids.
"Mermaid? Is there really a mermaid on this island?" Xiaolan asked curiously.
"Didn't you just meet me?" Ye Siyu chuckled.
"Just met?"
Xiaolan, Yuanshan and Ye looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes, and began to think about when they had seen the mermaid.
"Brother Siyu, are you talking about Miss Shimabukuro?" Conan said when Xiaolan, Toyama and Ye really couldn't figure out who else Ye Siyu was talking about.
According to his analysis, the mermaid that best fits what Ye Siyu said is Shimabukuro Kimie, the granddaughter of Granny Shimabukuro, an old man who claims to have eaten mermaid meat.
Ye Siyu did not answer in detail, but smiled mysteriously, and then left under the eyes of everyone.
"This guy must be playing tricks. I don't think there are any mermaids in this world. Magicians like to use the unknown to fool people." Hattori Heiji muttered. For Ye Siyu, a magician, his favorability is absolutely overwhelming. It fell to freezing point.
Ye Siyu, who said goodbye to Xiaolan and others, released his mental power to the greatest extent while wandering around, covering as much area as possible in order to find other mermaids hidden on this island.
What surprised Ye Siyu was that he searched around the town but couldn't find the second person suspected of being a mermaid.
Seeing this, Ye Siyu stopped searching in the town and prepared to search in the jungle of the island. If he were a mermaid, he would hide in places with few people.
Unfortunately, the result was the same as in the small town. Ye Siyu still did not find the mermaid. Judging from the situation, Shimabukuro Kimie was the only mermaid on this small island.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the remaining mermaids have moved from land to the ocean and no longer live on land.
However, the specific situation still needs to be confirmed with Shimabukuro Kime, otherwise any more speculations will be just speculations and cannot provide further evidence.
…
At night, the dugong celebration officially began, and Ye Siyu found Maori Kogoro and others who had occupied their seats early.
"Ye Sang, have you found the mermaid?" Seeing Ye Siyu come back, Xiaolan immediately approached her and asked curiously. Yuanshan and Ye also looked at Ye Siyu with curious eyes, and Conan and others on the side also raised their eyebrows. ears.
Although they firmly believe that mermaids do not exist in this world, people often have a tendency to gossip and are somewhat curious.
"No." Ye Siyu shook his head.
"I have long said that there are no mermaids in this world, and only fools like you, Kazuha, believe it." Heiji Hattori laughed immediately after hearing this.
"Heiji, can't you be more romantic?" Toyama Kazuba was so angry that he pinched Hattori Heiji's waist and twisted it, making him scream in pain.
The reason why girls like mermaids is that besides their beauty, the most important thing is that mermaids can keep people young forever. This is the reason why girls like mermaids. Now that their hopes are shattered, others are still mocking them. No girl will not angry.
"Dong dong dong!"
At this time, a drumbeat sounded, indicating that the celebration was about to begin. Everyone stopped fighting and focused their attention on the shrine in the center of the celebration.
"Ye Sang, do you think I will win the lottery later?" Xiaolan, who was holding the number plate, asked excitedly. Although she knew that even if she won the lottery, it would be impossible to live forever and stay young, but no one would If you don’t like yourself winning, that’s a sign of good luck.
"I don't know about the others, but you and He Ye will both win." After hearing Xiaolan's question, Ye Siyu answered.
"Ah? Why?" Yuan Shan and Ye asked in confusion.
"Because my eyes have already seen the future." Ye Siyu pointed to his eyes and said.
"Really? That's really great." Yuan Shan and Ye said excitedly. As a fan girl, she believed in what Ye Siyu, a magician, said.
"This guy is lying again." Hattori Heiji complained softly to Conan while rubbing himself against the pain caused by Toyama Kazuha.
"Yes." Conan nodded in agreement.
In their opinion, Ye Siyu said such words just to make Xiaolan, Yuanshan and Ye happy.
During the conversation, the drumming stopped, and two shrine staff opened the door of the shrine. In the center of the shrine, you can see a short figure wearing a witch costume with her back to everyone. When the figure turns around, you can see this She was a short old woman wearing heavy makeup.
"It's Changshou Po!"
"The longevity lady finally appears!"
With the appearance of Changshou Po, the atmosphere instantly became lively. Countless people took out their number plates, and some older people kept muttering about the blessings of gods and Buddhas. They were extremely excited.
"This is Changshou Po."
"This... is so small."
"She's just an old woman with heavy makeup..."
Conan, Hattori Heiji and Mouri Kogoro, who were originally in a mood that was aroused by the surroundings, all showed bored expressions after seeing the true face of Changshou Po.
Amidst the noise, Changshou Po walked out of the shrine with a long stick, then placed it on the brazier in front of the shrine door, lit it, and then placed it on the shrine door.
The next second, the door suddenly burned into words, causing bursts of exclamations.
Three, eight and four.
"Tch, it turns out that the winning numbers burned on the paper door are the winning numbers." Hattori Heiji complained. He thought something big would happen before, but who knew it turned out to be such a little trick. He saw through it at a glance. Something happened.
"Oh my God! It's true, ok, I won!" There was a burst of cheers from the crowd. When everyone took a look, they found that it was a woman they met when they were looking for Menxie Shaori today.
"Xiaolan, I'm hit."
"He Ye, I got hit too."
As the woman's words fell, Toyama, Ye and Xiaolan also let out a burst of exclamations, causing Hattori Heiji and the other three who felt a little bored to look over in surprise.
