The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

Although there are many tourists, this is indeed a small island. When checking in, a few people easily found out about Saori Monori from the receptionist.

"If you are here to see Saori, she seems to have not come back for several days after leaving the island." The girl at the front desk who told them the news said casually, "This is the busiest time on the island. She My boss was very angry when I was suddenly absent from work.”

Hattori Heiji nodded his thanks and looked at each other with the others, realizing that there might be something wrong with Saori Kadori.

"She works in a souvenir shop, so that's just right." Hattori Heiji, who looked more serious, suggested, "Let's just go shopping on the street like other tourists do."

This island is of decent size, but there are not many residents. There is only one concentrated commercial district on the entire island, and the rest of the island is still in its original state.

A person with high EQ means maintaining the original ecology of nature, while a person with low EQ means there are not many people, not much money, and the overall level of development is not high.

So it was natural to walk around the shopping street and find the store where Kadori Saori worked.

"Mermaid Shou, mermaid ema..." Mao Lilan bent down and looked at the products on the counter carefully, "Mermaid belt, uh, um, quite distinctive, but this dugong bun..."

She stared at the mermaid picture on the packaging with its weird lines that blended into the surrounding waves. She remembered the legend about "eating mermaid flesh to live forever" and was speechless for a moment.

"There are really a lot of mermaid products..." Toyama Kazuye picked up a hanging painting depicting mermaids, then looked at the mermaid pendant in Conan's hand. After a moment of silence, he changed the subject and said, "So, What exactly is a dugong?”

There are not many serious handmade products or local specialties here. These are mass-produced products with obvious industrial traces. It is definitely impossible for such an island with obviously insufficient human resources to have the ability to produce these.

And transporting goods from the island to be sold here will inevitably increase a lot of transportation and warehousing costs.

After all, traveling here is actually to spend a ferry ticket to a place far away from the main island, and then add money to buy a product that also paid for the ferry ticket...

Although this is the essence of many tourism projects, it would be too embarrassing to say it at this time, so she chose to ignore the complaints that immediately came to her mouth.

"Dugong is a mammal creature in the ocean. It looks a bit like a human being from a distance." Hattori Heiji, who was following behind her and looking at these products with keywords on them, was also speechless and answered casually.

"So dugong means mermaid? No wonder there is a 'dugong festival' on the island." Toyama and Ye nodded.

"That's not true. The dugong is a real-life marine animal. There is just a saying that the dugong is the prototype of the mermaid. Sailors on a long voyage saw the floating shadow of the dugong and mistakenly thought it was a humanoid creature with a fish tail. , there is a legend about mermaids." Picking up a strange abstract dugong steamed bun with a slightly shabby packaging, he clicked his tongue and added, "There are also some legends that say that dugong meat is The raw material of the elixir that can support immortality. I guess the people here consider these two opinions together."

Conan nodded after listening to his words, and then looked at Tangze who was holding a guard and said nothing: "Brother Tangze, why haven't you spoken?"

"Huh? Oh, nothing." Tang Ze stared at the words "American Shrine" on the guard for a long time, then reluctantly put the things back, "I feel like they are working very hard to make money. "

What should he say? This kind of kanji joke is difficult for Japanese people to understand.

Theoretically, Karasawa understands that since the Japanese do not call the United States the United States in Chinese characters, the island of America does not actually make the Japanese think of America. It does not mean that.

But it was hard for him not to think too much when he looked at the name.

Considering that Shimabukuro Kimie is actually a shrine maiden of an American shrine, he always has the idea that when she takes revenge, she should not engage in assassination or murder, but should carry Gatling and RPG to kill the enemy directly. The beauty of...

Tangze, who was afraid that what he said was a prophecy, quickly looked away, picked up a badge again, turned it over to look at the price tag, turned it back and carefully looked at the abstract print on the face for a while, and put it back politely.

Forget it, you don’t have to buy some gifts to give away. The souvenirs here give people the feeling that if you take them back and give them to Coop, your favorability points will decrease.

"Dugong arrow?" Mouri Kogoro, who was responsible for asking the store clerk about the whereabouts of Saori Kadori, frowned and repeated this word.

"Yes, that is the amulet of immortality we have here." The woman standing at the cashier continued, "Saori lost the one she poked during last year's festival, so she has been Terrified that the mermaid would punish her.”

"Oh..." Although Mouri Kogoro nodded, the expression on his face was still confused and he didn't understand at all.

"That arrow is still very valuable. Many tourists come here for it. It is the most valuable blessing at the festival." Sensing his disapproval, the woman continued to emphasize, "Saori will be afraid. It’s also normal.”

"But, it's just a talisman. Will it really disappear just because it is lost?" Mouri Kogoro asked.

"Because mermaids really exist."

Hearing the vowing voice coming from behind him, Mouri Kogoro turned his head and looked.

A woman with a trimmed mushroom head was wearing a store clerk's uniform. Seeing his doubtful gaze, she still said firmly: "The dugong arrow is tied with the hair endowed with divine power by the goddess. Anyone who owns this arrow can achieve it." The dream of immortality. It is a magic weapon with divine power. It is normal for Saori to want to run away if she loses it."

After saying this, the woman looked at the people in the room who were staring at her. She seemed to have suddenly woken up. She was stunned, smiled awkwardly, and turned her head to cover up.

"...Who is that?" Mouri Kogoro asked strangely, watching her quickly turn her back and sorting the shelves.

"Oh, she is Naoko Kuroe, a childhood friend who grew up with Saori." The woman at the cashier sighed, "These young people on the island, ugh."

Except for suddenly and rudely interjecting into the conversation, and her mental state being a little erratic, there seemed to be nothing unusual about this woman.

But the subtle greenish black under her eyes, as well as her slightly pale, bloodless complexion, always made people feel that something was not right.

Karasawa put down the things in his hands, silently looked at Naoko Kuroe's back, squinted his eyes, and quickly opened his third eye.

Although it is impossible to distinguish people in palaces or shadows with the naked eye, the special sensory vision of the third eye can more or less detect some abnormalities.

Especially when it comes to issues related to the ability to understand the world.

The next moment, Tang Ze suddenly covered his mouth and nose, coughed and stumbled back two steps, almost hitting the cabinet behind him.

"Hey, Tangze, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Mao Lilan, who was still looking at the products and taking photos, hurriedly supported him and looked at Tangze's feet.
