"Only one hundred and thirty years old..."
Everyone was speechless when they heard this.
One hundred and thirty is not too young, right?
You can directly apply for Guinness World Records for this...
"Do you still have your household registration?"
Fujino on the side was a little surprised.
If he remembered correctly, the so-called fate, the grandmother of the Shimabukuro family, had actually died long ago.
Unexpectedly, the household registration of that fateful person is still there.
It should be the special care given by the village committee on the island, right?
After all, to a certain extent, this is the backbone of the island's tourism industry. If it is found that the person is dead in the household registration, then continuing to defraud people... ah, no, it is definitely not feasible to cheat.
"I'm already one hundred and thirty years old..."
Hattori Heiji sighed with emotion, and at the same time his head was a little confused.
So far, he has not found any clues related to Menxie Shaori's kidnapping.
What is known now is that Monkyo Saori lost the dugong arrow a week ago, and then she became afraid of being retaliated by the mermaid... and then entrusted him, and Fujino... and then, she was kidnapped.
The only breakthrough now is the Dugong Arrow line...
So, he looked around curiously and asked Shimabukuro Kime: "Um, where is your great-grandmother now?"
"She is currently in the shrine giving magic power to the arrows that will be sent out at the festival... If you want to see her, I'm afraid you have to wait until after the festival."
Shimabukuro Kimie thought for a moment and immediately made up an excuse to deal with everyone.
In fact, she is the only one left in the Shimabukuro family.
As for Grandma Mingzhang, she also used disguise technology to disguise herself.
The purpose is to fulfill my mother’s last wish so that the mermaid festival on this small island can continue...
"that……"
At this time, Mouri Kogoro suddenly remembered the rumor that Hattori Heiji had mentioned before that the old woman had eaten mermaid meat.
Combined with being one hundred and thirty years old, it seems a bit unreasonable.
He couldn't help but curiously asked: "Excuse me, Miss Shimabukuro, has your grandma really eaten mermaid meat?"
"ah?"
Shimabukuro Kimie was stunned when she heard this, and she felt ashamed. She couldn't help laughing out loud: "Where in the world can there be such a creature as a mermaid? It's all just rumors!"
"What about the dugong arrows?"
Xiaolan couldn't help but come over and ask, and Heye continued: "I heard that there is a curse on that arrow. If you lose it, you will suffer revenge from the mermaid or something..."
"Actually, there is no such thing as revenge."
Putting away his smile, Shimabukuro Kime explained seriously: "My deceased mother once told me that the Dugong Arrow was actually called the Demon-Breaking Arrow, and it was an amulet used to remove evil spirits from monsters. It's just that my Grandma has a relatively long life, so the people on the island follow suit and call her "Dugong Arrow" with the same pronunciation as "Dugong Arrow"... When handing over the arrows, I'm afraid that those who can't live long will come back to look for trouble, so when handing over the arrows, I always say , if you don’t believe in the power of this arrow, or if you lose the arrow, you will be punished by disaster or something like that, in fact, there is no such thing at all..."
"Hmph, Jun Hui, the reason why you say that is because you have never seen the power of your grandma, right?"
At this time, a woman wearing a purple dress, white high heels, long brown hair, and two earrings in her ears, who looked like a royal lady, came over and said in a slightly frivolous tone: "She He must have eaten mermaid meat... Just three years ago, the body of a mermaid was found on this island!"
"Are you talking about the program "Secret Investigation! The Truth About the Mermaid Corpse" that was broadcast on TV three years ago?"
Xiaolan recalled it for a while, and surprisingly she seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly mentioned it.
"I think I've heard of that too..."
He Ye also thought about it and agreed: "It should be that a strange corpse or something was found in the warehouse."
"Do you still remember what happened so long ago?"
Fujino glanced at Xiaolan in surprise.
As we all know, Xiaolan is nicknamed Sansiaolan, and generally speaking, she only has a memory of three seconds.
Can accurately recall reports from three years ago...
It really made Fujino feel that Xiaolan was possessed by something.
"Of course I remember."
Xiaolan obviously didn't catch Fujino's point, and chuckled: "After all, that incident was a big deal at the time, and many important people went there, and Sonoko mentioned things like mermaids to me every day at that time, saying Why can you live forever by eating mermaid meat? She wants to eat it too."
"So that's it."
Fujino nodded, finally understanding.
If you think about it carefully, this is Yuanzi's style.
If this is the case, it would be normal for Xiaolan to remember this.
After retracting his thoughts, Fujino thought for a moment and said: "I remember that the legs and leg bones of the corpse had been smashed by the beams... That's why it looked like a mermaid corpse..."
"That's not smashed!"
Ebihara Hisumi also wanted to defend something: "That is definitely the body of a mermaid!"
"Okay, Sumi!"
Shimabukuro Kimie looked back at Hisumi Ebihara, looking a little helpless: "That's just an exaggeration by the media!"
"Why do you say that?"
Hisumi Ebihara showed a mysterious look: "You should have seen it at that time, right? The shape of the broken bones was very strange, and that weird..."
Shimabukuro Kimie looked at Ebihara Hisumi, with a faint flash of killing intent in her eyes.
These three people have been her friends since childhood, and to a certain extent, they can also be regarded as her childhood sweethearts.
Originally, she had no reason to kill these people.
But if it was to kill her mother's enemy, even her status as a good friend could not stop her from taking revenge.
That's right, Hisumi Ebihara, Saori Kadokyo, and Naoko Kuroe, these three people are the real murderers of her mother.
If Menxie Shazhi hadn't lost her dugong arrow a few days ago and came to her for help out of fear, she might never have noticed the truth of this matter in her life.
Fujino also glanced at Ebihara Hisumi.
As a spoiler dog, he naturally knows this.
If he remembered correctly, this man should be the first victim.
Well, he should also carry out the mermaid transformation project in the original order...
Fujino narrowed his eyes slightly and silently marked a target.
"Stop talking about Shou Mei, there are some things that are not suitable to be told to outsiders."
At this time, a dark-skinned man named Fukuyama Rokuro came over and held Hisumi Ebihara's shoulders. He did not continue talking and turned to look at everyone: "I heard that you are here to investigate Saori's kidnapping. Police, if you want to find any clues, I suggest you go to Saori’s house and have a look."
"The body of the mermaid..."
Hattori Heiji frowned, looking at Fukuyama Rokuro and Ebihara Hisumi who were leaving, and frowned.
Why does it feel like it's getting more and more troublesome... Something like a mermaid corpse actually popped up.
But now there is a clue, that is to go to Shaozhi's home.
People with the same skin color are more reliable. Others are gossiping and so on, which is of no use at all.
After thinking about it, he turned to Shimabukuro Kime and asked, "Then, can you please take us to Saori's house?"
"sure."
Shimabukuro Kime nodded gently, "But that won't happen until after the festival is over."
"By the way, what kind of activities are held at your festival?"
The two girls accompanying him were obviously not interested in the case. Xiaolan came forward and asked Shimabukuro Kimie curiously.
"It's a bit like a lottery. We will sell the number plates to the participants in advance, and then based on the numbers given by my grandma, we will draw lucky spectators based on the numbers and give them dugong arrows."
Speaking of this, Shimabukuro Kimie seemed to have remembered something. She took out two number plates from the trouser pocket of her red skirt and handed them to Kazuya and Xiaolan: "I just happened to have two numbers in my hand this morning. The old couple returned the number plate, do you two want to try your luck?"
"well?"
Xiaolan and Heye were stunned for a moment, "Is it okay?"
"Of course."
Shimabukuro Kimie smiled softly: "Maybe this time you two will really be able to gain the ability to live forever."
Xiaolan and Heye looked at each other and smiled, then took the number plate.
"By the way, Miss Junhui, where can I buy this thing?"
Fujino glanced at the number plates in Xiaolan and Kazuye's hands, and suddenly raised his voice.
"Detective Fujino also wants to try his luck?"
Shimabukuro Kimie glanced at Fujino unexpectedly, and then explained with a chuckle: "But I don't have any extra number plates on hand. If you want it, you'd better go to the event spot where the island holds a festival to buy it..."
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 for free.
If you spend money to buy it... it's just a waste of money.
After all, the fate is Shimabukuro Kimie. She can let whoever she wants win the prize. There is no such thing as luck at all.
…………
If you want to go to Monkyo's house, you need to wait until Shimabukuro Kime finishes holding the festival.
During this period, everyone was not idle and planned to stroll around the island first.
Since it was a festival, the atmosphere on the island was very lively.
On the streets of villages and towns, there are also some scattered stalls selling small snacks.
For example, things like fish balls, apple candies, fried noodles.
"I really don't know if I can get that dugong arrow..."
Yuan Shan and Ye held up the number plate in their hands and walked at the front with an expectant look.
"Of course you can, Kazuye."
Xiaolan on the side smiled: "If it doesn't work out, I'll lend you my share of luck. Maybe I can actually get a dugong arrow tonight."
"Thank you, Xiaolan!"
He Ye hugged Xiaolan's arm affectionately.
"Okay, I'm just talking."
Xiaolan was a little helpless: "How can such a frivolous thing like luck be really lent out?"
"Maybe it really can."
Fujino, who was following behind, suddenly said: "After all, I feel that Xiaolan, you have always been very lucky."
"That's right! Sister Xiaolan can win some first prize or second prize in every lottery."
Conan also nodded in agreement. Hearing what Fujino said, he also reacted. It seems that Xiaolan has always had good luck and can win anything.
"Hey, Heye, you don't really believe that dugong arrows can give people the ability to live longer, do you?"
Heiji was holding the fish balls packed in a paper bag. He glanced at the two people who were excitedly holding the number tags and looked forward to it. He complained: "How can this kind of thing come true? If there is magic, killing people would be easy." Don’t be too simple.”
To be honest, you might as well look at Kudo around you, beauties!
This kid is one of the cases of shrinking.
If you don't have the time to ask for a fortune, you might as well ask how this kid became smaller after being knocked unconscious.
"Of course I don't really believe that I can live a long life..."
He Ye waved the number plate in his hand: "But I'd rather believe it or not."
"Tsk..."
Hattori Heiji was a little helpless and turned to look at Fujino: "So, from the way I looked at you just now, it seems that you are also interested in the Dugong Arrow."
"Don't believe me, I'm a staunch materialist."
Fujino looked at Hattori Heiji and said firmly: "Just don't give it up, maybe you can get a souvenir or something. Of course, if you have to spend money, forget it."
"Ha ha……"
Hattori Heiji glanced at Fujino, his head covered with 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 monsters like mermaids may really exist in this world, and they exist objectively."
Fujino thought about the witch for a moment, but he was a little curious about the feeling of magic.
As a staunch materialist, Fujino does not believe in ghosts and monsters.
Of course, that is only virtual and made up.
In the world of Ke Xue, let alone ghosts and monsters, magic exists in reality.
If his materialism hadn't been firm enough, he might have been abducted by the witch last time.
And flying around on a broomstick is really cool!
But he was also a little curious, would riding a broom really not get stuck in the crotch?
"ha?"
Hattori Heiji was stunned and said in surprise: "Is what you said true?"
"Who knows?"
Fujino shook his head and did not continue: "However, given the current technological strength, maybe in a few decades or hundreds of years, humans will be able to develop an elixir of immortality, and then there will be no need to pray for such unreliable Something practical.”
"Well……"
Conan on the side was speechless for a while.
Why do these plaintive words feel a bit familiar?
Suddenly it felt like Fujino was possessed by a certain loli.
It is indeed a family living together.
But, he wanted to say, let alone a few decades later, the elixir of rejuvenation is actually being used now!
There is a saying that if you have time to ask for a signature, it is better to go to that organization to ask for medicine.
It is estimated that the probability of getting smaller is higher than the probability of longevity.
He is the victim of the elixir of life...
