"Hey, look, it's a fate."
"The fate is out!"
As the barrier opens.
Changshou Po, who was wearing a witch costume, slowly walked out to the door.
She is very short, her face is as white as her hair, and her dark brown eyes are full of silence. But if you look carefully, you can see that the flabby muscles full of traces of time, and the wrinkles that even makeup cannot cover, ruthlessly destroy longevity. The image of mother-in-law in the hearts of many people.
When Ye Gengyi saw this, he thought: "It seems that the rumors that mermaid meat and dugong arrows can maintain youth are false, but the reason why they live to be 130 years old has yet to be verified."
"What...just an old woman with heavy makeup..." Hattori Heiji muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Hey! Do you want to be thrown directly into those two charcoal braziers by the people on the island and used as charcoal?" Conan quickly pulled the sleeve of a certain black man to remind him, and suspected that this guy has been so poisonous recently. The reason is that I learned bad things from Brother Gengyi.
The atmosphere at the scene became more and more lively with the appearance of Fate.
The old woman who claimed to have eaten mermaid meat took a few steps forward with her cane in hand. She took the torch from the waiter and lit the paper on the shoji door with the light in the room.
Amid the horrified sounds of the onlookers, the flames quickly melted into a set of numbers along the established trajectory.
[Three, one hundred and seven, ten and eight. 】
She didn't say a word. After finishing these things, she immediately returned to the room.
Seeing the right moment, Ye Geng flicked a ball of nano-robots that exuded metallic luster with his fingers.
After a few seconds.
Ye Xiaobai's prompt popped up:
[Sir, the connection has been established. Do you want to perform 3D visual presentation? 】
"Not urgent."
Now that the nanorobots have attached themselves to Changshou Po, Ye Gengyi doesn't think they will be discovered.
What he is really worried about is that if he sees Changshou Po changing clothes in the picture after the visual position is presented, even if he digs out his eyes, I am afraid it will leave a psychological shadow for a period of time.
"Or record it and let Gin...forget it, this kind of behavior is somewhat disrespectful to the elderly."
Ye Gengyi shook his head. No matter how strong the bad taste is, there should always be a lower limit...
Just thinking about it.
Beside them, Yuan Shan and Ye checked the numbers on the number plate a few more times, and finally couldn't help but cheered, "I won! You see, I won!"
As Ye Gengyi turned his head and looked over, he also saw Ebihara Hisumi who was also cheering.
For this mermaid fanatical believer, drawing a dugong arrow is indeed a joyful thing, but...
Why wasn't Xiaolan the winner on their side?
Hattori Heiji came over and said in a tone that saw through the harshness of the world: "Forget it Kazuha, longevity may not be a good thing..."
"Oh, don't worry, Heiji." Toyama and Ye replied with a smile: "When the day you die, I will help you pack up your belongings!"
"Yes, yes...it's really reassuring." Hattori Heiji's half-moon eyes did not point out the fact that Changshou Po's appearance was aging.
He turned his head, ready to say something.
I saw Ye Gengyi staring at the shoji, no, to be precise, it was the figure of Shimabukuro Kime who came out from there.
"Xiao Bai?" Ye Gengyi tapped his temple twice.
[Sir, the target information is confirmed correct. 】
Ye Xiaobai's reply was very hurtful.
"...No wonder it was placed so casually in the warehouse."
Ye Gengyi adjusted his mood and prepared to find an opportunity to throw away the black box and the fish bones inside.
"Brother Genichi, what's wrong with you?" Hattori Heiji couldn't help but be curious.
"Oh..." Ye Gengyi turned his head: "I was thinking about garbage classification."
Hattori Heiji:"......"
Is it so environmentally friendly?
The free exchange lasted for less than ten minutes, and more and more tourists were noticed by Shimabukuro Kime. The scene became slightly quiet, and the newly promoted witch on the stage announced:
"The lottery ceremony is over. The prayer platform of the shrine has been opened. In an hour, a waiter will lead you to the Mermaid Falls to participate in the awarding ceremony of the Dugong Arrow."
...
Time passed quietly.
An hour later, the tourists also left here one after another, accompanied by the waiter.
On the way to the waterfall, Ye Gengyi was not in high spirits.
Although his expression was still calm as usual, Hattori Heiji still noticed that the other person's walking speed was obviously much slower than usual.
A certain black man also deliberately slowed down his pace, and the two of them walked side by side: "Brother Gengyi, since you care so much... why not ask Heye to give you the wooden sign?"
This kind of speech that focuses on solitary students...
Ye Gengyi slightly widened his dead fish eyes and was silent for a moment: "Thank you, no need."
"Then don't be so disappointed," Hattori Heiji carelessly put his arm around Ye Gengyi's shoulders and said, "Looking at that old woman's face, you must also know that the legends about mermaids or dugongs are all false."
"Yeah." Ye Geng said, "It's just because I saw it too early that I found it boring."
"Uh..." Hattori Heiji's smile froze and he didn't know how to comfort him.
By the way, Brother Geng Yi is probably going too far, right?
Even if you haven't done any research on immortality, ageless appearance, etc., you shouldn't take it too seriously...
"Is the truth that important?" Ye Gengyi seemed to be sighing.
"Ah?" Hattori Heiji blinked, and then said cautiously: "Of course it's important!"
"Really?" Ye Gengyi asked, "If everyone pursues the truth, then the island's tourism industry will collapse soon. Do you want to see this happen?"
"I..." Hattori Heiji was startled, and then said immediately: "But these tourists are not all detectives... How can they directly understand the truth like us?"
"Oh?" Ye Gengyi was curious, "You mean, even if you know some facts, you can still refrain from telling them?"
This question...could it be that Brother Sarada was aware of Kudo...
Hattori Heiji scratched his face and answered a little vaguely: "It also needs to be divided into specific contents. If it is something you think is right, it is not a bad idea to conceal it appropriately..."
Ye Geng nodded: "Really? I feel like you are more sensible than some people."
Could it be that he really knows Kudo’s secret...
Hattori Heiji decided to test it out: "Uh... Saraichi-nii, you want to ask me something, right?"
"listen."
Ye Gengyi did not answer, but stood directly on the spot.
What?
Hattori Heiji was confused: "Listen? What are you listening to?"
"The sound of the waves is getting quieter and quieter."
"Well..."
"This island is surrounded by mountains on three sides. The Mermaid Falls we are heading to is right inside the mountains."
Ye Gengyi said: "Although the current environment is much quieter than before, apart from the beach and those recreational facilities, there should not be many households that can meet the two conditions of being built on the beach and hearing the sound of the waves. Bar."
"Yes, I have seen the map of the island. Apart from the shrine just now, there is only one in Ebihara..."
When Hattori Heiji said this, his eyes suddenly widened, "Monkyo Saori didn't bring any luggage, so the possibility of leaving Mermaid Island is very low, which means that she is probably hiding in a friend's house now, and over there. ..just enough to hear the sound of the waves!”
