Chapter 205 The New Mermaid Ghost
In Jiang Xia's impression, Shimabukuro Junhui was right:

Dugong arrows have no curse power.

There are no mermaids on Mermaid Island.

Even the "fate" of longevity itself is a complete lie.

——The 130-year-old life shape is actually made up by the women of the Shimabukuro family for generations.

Until three years ago, Naoko Shimabukuro, Shimabukuro's mother, played the role of fate.

During the Mermaid Festival three years ago, Menli Shazhi and her two friends failed to draw the arrow of the dugong.Unwilling, the three wanted to go to the warehouse of the shrine to get arrows after they were drunk, but they happened to see "Ming Yang" walking into the warehouse.

So they got drunk, laughed and locked the warehouse door, lit a fire, and tried to see if "Fate" was immortal.

Naoko Shimabukuro, who played "Fate", did not survive.Before she died, she knew she couldn't escape, so she called her daughter Junhui Shimabukuro, hoping that she would continue to play the role of fate and let the mermaid festival continue.

After her death, Naoko Shimabukuro's lower body was smashed by the collapsed pillar, and the remaining skeleton looked like a mermaid without feet.

Shimabukuro Junhui didn't understand what happened, but she followed what her mother said, pretending to be fate with tears in her eyes.

On the second day of the fire, the arsonist Menri Shazhi and her two friends saw the "mermaid bones" in the warehouse, and saw that they were still locked in the warehouse and burned yesterday, but they appeared to everyone unscathed the next day The "fate" in front of him, apart from fear, has become the most loyal believer of the mermaid.

……

Therefore, a few days ago, after Menlisha lost the dugong's arrow, she was sure that she would be punished by the mermaid.

In a panic, relying on being a friend of Shimabukuro Junhui, she went to Shimabukuro Junhui for an arrow, and confided that she and her friends burned the mermaid three years ago.

Junhui Shimabukuro was struck by lightning.She tried to tell herself in her heart that it was "fate" who lied first, and both sides were at fault.

But the killing intent that he had finally endured was ignited by Menli Shazhi's coquettish operation.

Menli Saori said excitedly: "If you can't get the arrow, then at least tell me where the mermaid's tomb is - I remember Mingyang buried the charred mermaid bones in the warehouse in the mountain... Please , I also want to have an immortal body just like Mingyang."

Junhui Shimabukuro was stunned.

According to legend, the way to obtain "immortality" is to eat mermaid meat.

...In other words, this person burned her mother to death not enough, and now he still wants to eat the bones of the deceased.

Junhui Shimabukuro was swallowed up by killing intent in an instant, and decided to kill all three people who set fire.

……

Today, Shimabukuro Junhui and Kamenori Saori went out together, which was also part of her murder plan-she accompanied Kamenori Saori to the island to see a dentist, and planned to find a chance to trick Kamenori Saori away and kill her after she came back.

However, what she didn't expect was that Menli Shazhi invited detectives.

And one of them is the kind of famous detective who has been on many shows...

When Kamenori Saori was talking nonsense to Hattori Heiji and the others, asking him to help catch the mermaid, Shimabukuro Kimie looked at Jiang Xia secretly.

But Jiang Xia happened to be looking at her too. The young detective's eyes were obviously calm, and his face was expressionless, but Junhui Shimabukuro was stared at and froze.

She suddenly had the illusion that a sharp sword that was about to fall was hanging above her head...or a heavy club that was about to fall.Instinctively, there was a trace of fear from the bottom of my heart.

Looking at each other for a moment, when Shimabukuro Junhui was about to lose his expression, Jiang Xia turned his head away.

Then the famous detective stared at the passing food truck, not her.

Junhui Shimabukuro exhaled secretly, her heart pounding.

...Why does Jiang Xia look at her with that kind of eyes?Did she show a flaw somewhere?
But her murder plan has just begun, how could it be seen through directly? ... This, this should be just an illusion under guilty conscience.

……

Everyone on the boat has their own thoughts.

Before disembarking, Hattori Heiji returned the entrusted money to Kamenori Saori. He really didn't know what he could do, so he couldn't really go to sea to catch mermaids.

So he completely regarded this trip as a trip.

After disembarking.Kazuki left lazily, while Junhui Shimabukuro bid farewell to the others in a gentle voice, and sent Kazuya home.

Although in Shimabukuro Junhui's heart, the boat of friendship has long been broken, but at present, she must pretend that nothing happened and continue to play a gentle and considerate friend.

Jiang Xia originally wanted to get the murderous aura from Shimabukuro Junhui first.

But when the boat approached the island, the ghosts made other discoveries.

——There is a breath of ghosts on the island.

And the sense of presence is particularly strong.

With the gentle sea breeze blowing, Jiang Xia's mood keeps getting better.

Don’t call it Mermaid Island anymore, let’s change its name to Paradise Island, and the parentheses are exclusive to Ouhuang psychic masters.

……

The Mermaid Festival is coming soon, and it is in the afternoon. The specialty street on Mermaid Island is very lively.

The three girls jumped in happily. Hattori Heiji and Conan followed Toyama Kazuha and Mouri Ran, and they were quickly submerged in the crowd.

Jiang Xia followed behind, wandering around and then secretly deviated from the direction, heading straight for the ghostly aura.

Walking through the lively specialty street, passing through a quiet grove, and approaching the beach, Jiang Xia saw a simple shrine.

The breath of the ghost fetus came from here.

There are usually only two people in the shrine, one is "Mingyang" who lives long, and the other is Kimie Shimabukuro who takes care of Mingyang.And they're actually the same person.

Now, Junhui Shimabukuro accompanied Menri Saori to go home, and the shrine was suddenly empty.

Jiang Xia was about to go in and have a look.

However, as soon as he reached the door, he stopped and suddenly dodged.

Almost at the same time, a long and narrow translucent fish tail brushed against his side and slapped vigorously.

When the blow was missed, the tail fell back to its original position, the tail fin tensed and moved slightly, as if it was preparing for the next attack.

Jiang Xia raised her head, and after seeing the scene in front of her clearly, she was slightly taken aback.

On the low torii, I don’t know when there were more...

A mermaid ghost the size of a human.
