"Hmm?" Shimashiro Kimie looked at Yu Quan strangely.

Then, she couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Yu Quan, you don't really believe in the existence of mermaids, do you?"

"Huh?" Mao Lilan couldn't help staring.

"Miss Kimie, you... don't believe in the existence of mermaids?"

"Mermaids are simply legendary creatures, how can they really exist?"

Shimashiro Kimie laughed twice and said without hesitation.

"Uh..." Mao Li Kogoro was a little dumbfounded.

Subconsciously turned his head to look at Yu Quan, then turned his head to look at Shimashiro Kimie and said.

"Then... what's the matter with the dugong arrow?"

"Dugong arrow." Shimashiro Kimie blinked and said in a relaxed tone.

"Actually, a long time ago, the dugong arrow was originally used to pray for the avoidance of disasters."

"As a result... because many people believe that there are mermaids on the island, the dugong arrow has been rumored to make people immortal."

"This..." Huihara Ai's mouth twitched.

She looked at Shimashiro Kimie with some surprise. Can she say this directly?

"Right." As if she thought of something, Shimashiro Kimie suddenly took out a few number cards from her hand.

She distributed them to Mao Lilan and others: "These are the number cards left over from before."

"If you are interested, you can take the number cards to the celebration tonight..."

"At the same time, these number cards are also used to draw dugong arrows."

Ma Lilan and others subconsciously looked at Yu Quan, and Yu Quan nodded slightly.

Although I sensed a familiar energy from Shimashiro Kimie, but——

I still couldn't detect any abnormality on these number plates...

"Miss Kimie, I'm asking——" Yu Quan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Shimashiro Kimie.

"Have you been anywhere recently?"

"Hmm?" Shimashiro Kimie looked at Yu Quan with some surprise.

"Mainly, we want to guess where Miss Saori will be..."

Yu Quan raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully.

"Well... I've been preparing for the festival at the shrine these two days."

"But——"

Shimashiro Kimie couldn't help but touch her chin, as if she was reminiscing.

"Four days ago, I went to the mainland with Saori..."

"Hmm? Four days ago?" Hattori Heiji couldn't help but look at Conan and the others.

The date of mailing on the letter of entrustment that Hattori Heiji received was --

It was exactly four days ago!

"Yes, I actually asked Saori to go with me at that time......"

Shimashiro Kimie nodded and explained without hesitation.

"I mainly want to see a dentist, but——"

"There is no dentist on our island, so we can only go to the mainland..."

"Is that so?" Hattori Heiji nodded thoughtfully.

"Can you take us to Miss Saori's house?"

"That's no problem." Shimashiro Kimie nodded and said hesitantly.

"But... Saori's father is an alcoholic who likes to drink and may have a bad temper."

"I hope everyone is mentally prepared."

"It's okay. "Ran Maori subconsciously glanced at Maori Kogoro.

Well... he is also a drunkard, but -

Although Maori Kogoro is a foodie and loves to drink, he will not cause trouble when he is drunk.

"Okay." Shimashiro Kimie nodded.

Unfortunately... the door of Kadowaki Saori's house was locked from the outside, and no one was at home.

Because Shimashiro Kimie had to continue preparing for the evening celebration, she soon separated from Yu Quan and others.

As for Yu Quan and others, they went to the hotel on the island to check in first...

"From the clues on the island, Kadowaki Saori is a person. ”

Hattori Heiji touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

“But... the owner of the souvenir shop said that Kadowaki Saori got the dugong arrow last year, but——”

“She accidentally lost it.”

“Plus, if Kadowaki Saori believes in the existence of mermaids... could she have run away because she was worried about the curse of mermaids?”

“It’s possible. "Conan shrugged.

But——

Thinking of the sound of the waves that Hattori Heiji heard on the phone, Conan always felt that something was wrong...

Is it because we were on a boat at the time?

...

In the evening, Yu Quan and others came directly to the dugong festival.

At the beginning, the islanders and tourists gathered at the mermaid shrine...

After the preparation ceremony was over——

An old woman who looked less than 1.5 meters tall and had many wrinkles on her face walked out of the shrine.

"Is this... the longevity woman?" Mao Lilan looked at the longevity woman curiously.

"It looks like... an old woman with wrinkles on her face."

Hattori Heiji curled his lips and said with some disappointment.

"Heiji, you are so rude! ”

Yuyama Kazuha couldn't help but stare, frowned and gave Hattori Heiji a look.

"What's the matter." Hattori Heiji waved his hand indifferently.

"No, this is not an old woman......."

Yu Quan raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully.

"Hmm?" Conan turned his head and looked at Yu Quan curiously.

"Could it be... this longevity woman is a mermaid?"

Yuanshan Heye stared and his imagination was full of ideas.

Hearing this, Yu Quan looked at Yuanshan Heye with a smile and shook his head slightly.

"No, the real age of the longevity woman should be only in her twenties..." (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

"In her twenties?" Mao Lilan couldn't help but stare.

Conan's light flashed and he blurted out subconsciously.

"Could it be... this longevity woman is a disguised person? It can't be Shimadai Kimie!"

Yo!

Yu Quan turned his head and looked at Conan: "Conan, you are quite perceptive! ”

“It’s really Shimashiro Kimie.” Maori Kogoro couldn’t help but stare.

Looked at the longevity woman who was drawing the number plate with a lit torch in surprise: “But...how did she do that?”

“Let’s not talk about the face, just the height...is at least 20 centimeters shorter, right?”

“.It should be just a clever disguise technique. "Yu Quan shrugged slightly.

As if she thought of something, Huiyuan Ai's pupils shrank.

Seeing this, Yu Quan shook his head slightly and whispered.

"Don't worry, it has nothing to do with the Thousand-Faced Witch..."

Huiyuan Ai couldn't help but stare, and turned to look at Yu Quan directly.

Can't see through, Huiyuan Ai really can't see through this Yu Quan who seems to know everything and can see through all her thoughts...

However, Huiyuan Ai can be sure of——[]

Yu Quan is very good to herself and won't hurt herself.

"If Miss Junhui is really pretending... it's really amazing."

Mouri Ran couldn't help but shook her head and sighed.

"But why? Why did Shimashiro Kimie pretend to be her great-grandmother? "

Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but frowned and asked subconsciously.

"It should be for the development of the island." Conan couldn't help but touch his chin.

"After all, Mermaid Island has always been based on mermaids and longevity women as a gimmick..."

Hattori Heiji nodded subconsciously, and then agreed.

"If it's just an ordinary old man, it's probably hard to attract people, but--"

"If it's an old man who has lived for 130 years or even (good) 200 or 300 years... it will definitely attract a lot of people."

"In that case, in fact, Miss Kimie's great-grandmother should have passed away?"

Mouri Kogoro touched his chin and thought thoughtfully.

"It's probably......" Hattori Heiji nodded casually.

"If it is for the development of the island, it seems understandable." Mao Lilan blinked.

While several people were talking, the numbers of this year's three dugong arrows were also announced.......

"The first one, number 380."

"The second one, number 267."

"The third one, number 160."

……

As soon as the values ​​of the three numbers came out, some people in the crowd were obviously excited.

Of course, there were more disappointed people........

"I...I seem to have been caught! ”

Yuanshan and Ye Ye shook the number cards in their hands and said happily.

Although... the Longevity Lady is fake and the Dugong Arrow is probably not real either.

But——

If Yuanshan and Ye Ye draw three number cards among so many people...

No matter how you think about it, it is a lucky thing!.
