“Si Guoyi, not only the mermaid’s guard, but also the mermaid’s clamp…”

“I’ve never seen a dugong pie!”

In the gift shop, He Ye and Xiaolan looked at the dazzling array of novel goods, and couldn’t help but cover their mouths and marvel, and the little mood of shopping was already impatient.

Koshisui didn’t care, she grew up in Fukui and was familiar with such objects. She and three other detectives are listening intently to the hostess.

“Saori, she really didn’t come to the store three days ago…”

“So has she behaved abnormally lately?”

“This one has!” The proprietress nodded affirmatively, “She accidentally lost the Dugong Arrow at last year’s celebration, so she was scared a week ago, for fear that the mermaid would come to the door to take revenge on her…”

Ha!? I’m afraid this woman is not scratching her dreams???

Uncle Maori helplessly supported his head, “Where in the world is there a mermaid…”

“Yes!” A female clerk dressed in strange short hair spoke, “Because there are real cases, the dugong arrows made by the longevity woman who ate mermaid meat with the hair grown by her mental power are all treasures that people dream of.” ”

“Saori, she lost such an important thing, and it is common for people to escape the island for fear of retaliation from the mermaid…”

After that, the woman left the store, leaving a black line where everyone complained in place.

“Really, who is this woman!?” Uncle Maori twitched the 727 corners of his mouth, “This is all about the twenty-first century and engaging in superstition…”

“Well, she’s Naoko, Saori’s friend who grew up together.”

“By the way, Aunt Manager, what does she mean by longevity?” Conan noticed something else and asked.

“The longevity woman she said is the chief priest of this festival and the representative figure of the island, you should have heard her rumors before coming to the American Island, right?”

“So how old is she?”

“There are all kinds of rumors!” The proprietress thought for a moment and shook her head again, “Why don’t you go to the shrine where the festival will be held?” The great-granddaughter of the longevity mother, Miss Shimayo June, and Saori also have a very good relationship! ”

“Hey, Kudo, how does it feel like we’re being kicked around like a ball…” Hattori crouched down and whispered to Conan.

“It’s you who accept the commission, don’t pull me!”

“Hahaha~ How come! That’s all rumors! My great-grandmother just lived a little longer. The girl dressed as a witch in front of everyone had long hair, and emphasized with a light and dexterous smile, and the feeling of beauty and cuteness came to her face.

“Well, the rumor of the (BCAF) of the Dugong’s Arrow?”

“At the beginning, it was just a forbidden arrow that cast an evil spell, but somehow the island was related to the mermaid..”

“I changed it to a dugong that inhabits the bottom of the sea, I went to tell me personally!”

“I’m sorry…” He Xiaolan listened and apologized embarrassedly.

“It’s okay, in fact, not only my mother, but even my father and grandmother and great-grandfather were buried at sea.”

“Nani!? There must be some reason for that! Shang thought of something like a curse and couldn’t help but ask.

“How so!” Shimayo-kune patted the dust in her hand and replied with a clever smile, “I also took a boat with Saori before and went to the mainland!” Nothing happened either. ”

Yue Shui’s brows tightened, and he immediately asked, “When did that happen?” ”

“Eh… Just four days ago! Shimayo-kune was taken aback, “I asked her to accompany me to the dentist in the mainland…”

“So how was she feeling?”

“Well, at that time, because she lost the arrow of the dugong, she was terrified of her life, worried about the mermaid’s retaliation…” Shimaro Junhui recalled, “Although I advised her not to take it to heart at that time, she couldn’t listen to it. ”

“You’re such a fool, Junhui!” A straight-haired woman in a blue dress walked over, “You say this because you don’t believe in your great-grandmother’s powers, she really has magical powers!” ”

“Shoumi…”

“Didn’t you see it with your own eyes too?” The woman who was called Shoumi by Shimayo June had a crazy look in her eyes, “The broken bones of that mermaid three years ago…”

“Shoumi! Stop it! A young man suddenly appeared, put his hand on Shoumi’s shoulder, and shook his head, “A lot of things are inconvenient to say in front of outsiders. ”

“You guys! If you are looking for Saori, you should go to her house first to find out the situation! The young man was dark-skinned and wearing a brown plush coat, and said a little coldly, “Of course, the premise is that her drunken father welcomes you…”

Yue Shui watched the woman and the young man leave, and asked strangely, “Who is this person?” ”

“He is Ruro Fukuyama, Shoumi’s fiancé.” Shimayo June chuckled, “Don’t look at him like this, he’s actually quite good.” ”

“Then can you ask your sister to take us to Saori’s sister’s house?” Conan also knew from what he said just now that Saori’s father was probably a difficult person to get along with, and if he had been recommended by an acquaintance, the situation should be much better.

“Yes!” Shimayo-kune bent his knees slightly, suddenly frowned, and stretched out and touched Conan’s little brain axe, “But only after I finish the festival…”

“By the way, what will you do within the celebration?” Xiao Lan asked with interest.

“We will sell the number plate to the guests in advance, as long as the number is the same as the one presented by my great-grandmother, we will get the Dugong Arrow.” Shimayo-kune smiled sweetly, “By the way, do you two want to try your luck?” ”

“Huh!?”

“Actually, it’s more like a lottery, you need luck!” Shimayo Junhui took out two wooden cards with numbers written on them from his sleeve and handed them to Kazuha and Xiaolan respectively, “This morning, an old couple temporarily returned the number plate, so I gave it to the two!” ”

“Aligado!”

As the sky grew dark, to the sound of drums, the island’s villagers and tourists changed into civilian clothes and gathered in the direction of the shrine.

Although it was already evening, everyone gathered excitedly in front of the shrine hall, looking at the burning flame in the center, their eyes full of longing.

As the staff of the shrine pulled the wooden door open, a very small old witch wearing heavy makeup slowly walked out of the inner room, took the ignition stick handed by the person next to her, and inserted it into the flame station.

“I don’t know if I can win this time…”

“Three years and three years, if you don’t hit again…”

The audience was full of discussion, staring at the numbers that emerged after the paper door was gradually burned.

3、07、18…

“Everyone, in an hour,” Shimayo June appeared in front of everyone and announced, “We will be handing out dugong arrows at the Mermaid Waterfall, please come on time!” ”

Xu Yang silently watched the completion of the so-called festival, but his heart was full of sympathy and sorrow, because he knew what the real truth of this so-called “festival” was. _
