Hattori Heiji nodded, "Oh, it's like this..."

On the deck, the two were whispering, and Haneda Hidegen arrived at the restaurant on the cruise ship. Haibara developed seasickness shortly after boarding the ship. After taking medicine, he is now lying in his room to rest.

"Uncle Haneda, this is Miss Sarah. She and her assistant, Miss Ringo, are also here for

I went to America Island to participate in this dugong meeting. "

Xiaolan introduced the two women beside her.

"Hello."

After shaking hands with the two and saying hello, Haneda Hidegen sat down beside Kazuha.

Sarah, who has short blonde hair, obviously has a very obvious foreigner appearance, but she seems to be very proficient in Japanese legends. She smiled and continued the previous conversation:

"Just like the legend about the [-]-year-old bhikkhuni, it is said that the longevity woman who held the ceremony tonight was able to live until now because she accidentally ate mermaid meat."

"I remembered!" Xiaolan's eyes lit up, "Three years ago, the news about this long-lived and famous old lady was broadcast on TV."

He Ye said happily:

"Being young forever sounds attractive, don't you think? Uncle Haneda."

Haneda Hidegen looked at the few people who seemed to be convinced, and said with a smile:

"If it can arouse discussion, it must have something special that attracts people's attention. Even if it's fake, it's not bad to go to the longevity woman to discuss the secret of longevity."

He Ye Yanran smiled, nodded and said, "Yeah."

When it came to the rumors, the women immediately became interested and chatted with each other.

……

American Island is located not far from Wakasa Bay in the southern part of Fukui Prefecture.

Due to the holding of the annual Dugong Conference, there are many tourists on the island, and there are lively scenes on the streets.

As soon as they landed on the island, Mori Kogoro, Hattori Heiji, and Conan went to the office together to investigate the situation of a client named Monshe Saori.

As for Haneda Hidegen, on the pretext of needing to take care of Haibara, who was seasick, he and Ye and the others went to the hotel that had been booked over the phone.

The souvenir shop is full of mermaid-related photos and souvenirs. Heye and Xiaolan taste the special mermaid scones for a while, and look at the mermaid mortal for a while, and they are very excited.

After the seasickness passed, Haibara was not in high spirits, and followed Haneda Hidegen without saying a word.

"Xiao Ai, you can also pick some souvenirs for Ayumi and the others." Haneda Hidegen squatted down, touched her head, and suggested.

Haibara thought for a few seconds, nodded, followed behind Xiaolan, and began to choose carefully.

After walking away from Huiyuan, Haneda Hidegen looked at Koizumi Hongko, who had resentful eyes, and sighed:

"Student Hongzi, it's your own regret, so you must pay something. Besides, it's not too late for you to know now, I didn't take your money."

While chatting in the restaurant, after knowing that Haneda Hidegen came to the American Island at the invitation of Kazuya, along the way, Koizumi Hongzi didn't give him any good looks.

I don't know, I thought he failed this beautiful woman!

Koizumi Hongzi glared at him, raised her head unreasonably, "I don't care! You just cheated my feelings, you must make it up to me!"

Haneda Hidegen sighed, looked around, made a selection, and finally landed on the shelf on the left.

He took out a blue mermaid amulet from above, then grabbed Koizumi Hongzi's hand and placed it on her clear palm lines, "I'll give this to you, I wish you well."

Koizumi Hongzi glanced down, dissatisfied: "Who do you think I am, a thing without any spiritual power wants to send me away..."

Haneda Hidegen shook his head, "Based on your calculations, even if I give you this store, it won't be able to make up for the dissatisfaction of Mrs. Witch, right?"

Koizumi Hongzi seemed to be amused by his words, chuckled and hummed twice, "You're smart."

In the souvenir shop, the lady proprietress sent away another group of tourists. When she heard that someone was going to send them to the shop, she was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that this was a joke of the young couple.

She smiled and walked to Xiaolan and Heye, who were obviously more eager to buy, and said politely: "Are you a few tourists who came to participate in the Dugong Conference?"

"Yes," Xiaolan nodded, picked up a mermaid hairpin, and asked curiously, "Excuse me, is this place always as lively as it is now?"

The proprietress thought for a while, and replied:

"Actually, this time of year is very lively, but...this year seems to be a bit special, maybe because the media is more developed, some tourists seem to know more about mermaids than us, and everyone seems to be for the dugong's arrow here."

"The arrow of the dugong?" He Ye asked: "Is it true that the rumor that you can get eternal life if you get it? Otherwise, why would everyone flock to it?"

The proprietress had a weird expression on her face, she was silent for a while, then shook her head,

"I don't know if it's true or not, and I've never been chosen...

But I think there should still be some protective functions. Many tourists who got the Dugong Arrow in the past got good luck soon after, and some came back specially to thank Longevity Possession..."

Chapter 223 There will be such a day

"By the way," the proprietress seemed to think of something, looked at the absent-minded female shop assistant, and said:

"Naoko, didn't Saori get hit by a dugong's arrow last year? You should know if she has any good luck after that?"

While talking, the proprietress winked quietly at the female shop assistant, and then explained to Xiaolan:

"Saori is also my employee. She was one of the people who got three dugong arrows in the lottery last year. If you want to know if the arrow is useful, ask Naoko who grew up with her Enough."

Xiaolan and Heye nodded, and looked at the female shop assistant with short black hair.

Naoko Heijiang, who was standing by the cash register, raised her head and said lightly:

"Shazhi seems to have accidentally lost that arrow, I think, she is now despondently thinking about how to avoid the mermaid's revenge..."

Hearing Naoko Heijiang say such a bad thing, the face of the proprietress changed, and she was about to make amends, when she heard the tall man who just "spoke wildly" and wanted to buy the entire store asked:

"Miss Boss, the full name of the yarn you are talking about should be Menxie yarn, right?"

The proprietress looked at Haneda Xiuxuan in surprise, nodded and said, "That's right...do you know her?"

Haneda Hidegen shook his head and smiled casually,

"When I was on the shopping street just now, I overheard two men saying that they couldn't get through to her phone, so I remembered this name...... Madam boss, how do you sell this?"

He held up a manatee-like dugong doll.

Seeing that he wanted to buy something, the impatience on the proprietress's face disappeared instantly, she walked to Haneda Hidegen with a smile, and introduced:

"This, this is our most in-demand souvenir..."

……

After buying a doll for one member of the Detective Boys, the proprietress beamed with joy.

While the proprietress was packing the doll, Haneda Hidexuan took the opportunity to ask: "It seems that Miss Saori, the sect coordinator, hasn't come to work for a few days? Do you know the reason?"

The proprietress stuffed the fluffy doll into a plastic bag and responded with a smile:

"Shazhi, she accidentally lost the arrow of the dugong at last year's celebration a week ago, so she was afraid to hide, but she is still young after all. When I was young, I was also like her. Believe in the story of the mermaid with longing..."

Haneda Hidegen nodded, and asked again: "When you were young? Don't you believe it now?"

The lady proprietress paused while packing the bag, looked around, and saw that Naoko Kuroe was introducing products with Xiaolan and others, and waved cautiously to Hidegen Haneda.

Haneda Hidegen understood and lowered his head.

The proprietress leaned close to his ear and whispered:

"Actually, the rumors about the long-lived woman on the island are all fake. The real long-lived woman died long ago. The current old woman in Shimabukuro is pretended by her granddaughter, the current shrine maiden, Junhui."

After finishing speaking, she reminded: "Sir, don't tell anyone about this matter. Apart from the old people on the island, even Naoko and the islanders don't know about this matter."

The proprietress then sighed, "That child Jun Hui has suffered a lot. If the shrine loses the income from the Dugong Conference, it may not be able to continue. She will definitely be very sad..."

Seeing that there was such a secret in it, Haneda Hidegen nodded thoughtfully, "I see."

……

Walking out of the shop, Huiyuan looked at the map of the American island presented by the proprietress in his hand, then pointed to the street on the right and said:

"From the map, the Dugong Hotel should be at the northern end of the shopping street, so we should go this way."

After speaking, she took the lead, looked at the map, and walked to the right.

Although he doesn't look at the road, Huiyuan can always accurately avoid pedestrians on the street.

As road idiots, Heye and Xiaolan have no right to speak in this regard. Hearing what Hui Yuan said, Heye mentioned two half-human dolls, "Xiaolan, let's go with Xiaoyi... ..."

"Ah."

walking in trio

Behind, Koizumi Hongzi bit off the head of Mermaid Tangbing, looked at Heye and Xiaolan who were walking in front, and muttered:

"It's so naive to buy so many puppets for such a grown-up person..."

Haneda Hidegen glanced at Koizumi Hongko, who had nothing but sugar cakes in her hand, who had nothing but the sugar cake in her hand. She smiled and handed the doll she was going to buy for Shikigami to her eyes.

"Student Hongzi, please hold this for me."

Looking at the dugong doll in front of her, Koizumi Hongzi frowned tightly, shook her head and said, "I don't want it, it's too ugly..."

In fact, dugongs, which are similar to manatees, are not ugly, and even look a little cute.

In addition, in order to attract tourists to buy, souvenir makers have beautified the appearance of dugongs during production. The big head, small eyes, and slightly bloated body are very in line with the aesthetics of children.

Even in the eyes of adults, it will never feel ugly.

"This witch is being arrogant again..." Haneda Hidegen shook his head, grabbed the half-eaten sugar cake in her hand, stuffed the doll into her arms, and took a bite out of Koizumi Hongko's stunned eyes , Tut Tut: "The taste is not bad..."

Koizumi Hongzi was stunned for a moment, and then his face became more and more red...

……

At the end of the street, He Ye looked at the door of the hotel, where a mermaid was painted on the "Dugong Hotel" signboard, and murmured:

"This place is really closely related to the mermaid..."

Xiaolan smiled and said, "But this way it will have a more festive atmosphere."

Huiyuan put away the map and sighed:

"But lies will only bring lies. There are no mermaids here at all. No matter how much publicity is made, the truth will not change..."

He Ye was frustrated for a while, and said:

"Xiao Ai, even if you don't expose the truth about mermaids, we also know that there is no such thing as eternal life. It's just a gimmick. Today's party will be much more interesting..."

Haibara nodded, not to refute, looked back, and suddenly found that Haneda Hidegen and Koizumi Hongko who were behind had disappeared, and his eyebrows frowned involuntarily, "No, uncle, where are the two of them?"

He Ye turned around, "Huh? Could it be that the two of them didn't catch up in time? Could it be that something was left in the store..."

Xiaolan suggested: "Let's go in and put our luggage first. Uncle Haneda is not a road idiot, and he will find it here soon."

He Ye thought about it, nodded seriously, and said, "I think Xiao Lan is right."

Huiyuan rolled his eyes, "Out of the three people, there are two Lu Chi, it's outrageous..."

……

After coaxing Koizumi Hongzi with two sugar cookies, Haneda Hidegen was not in a hurry to go back to the hotel, and started wandering with her on this so-called American island.

The time agreed with the person in charge of Fushahui was at 5:[-] p.m. to meet at the citizen's office. It's only morning, and there is still a lot of time to waste.

Walking on the path by the stream, Haneda Hidegen suddenly looked at Koizumi Hongzi and said:

"Student Hongzi, can't you do divination? It should be easy to know the location of the door association yarn weaving, right?"

Koizumi Hongzi was playing with the dugong doll in her hand, she still looked very disgusted, frowned and said:

"So what? Look at the appearance of those three guys. If I tell them directly, they shouldn't be happy, right?"

Haneda Hidegen nodded. Although he was not interested in the game between Hattori Heiji and Conan, he could see that the two seemed to be competing.

Seeing that Haneda Hidegen was silent, Koizumi Koko glanced at him secretly, curled her lips and said:

"Don't worry, if the door assistant Saori really needs help, I will find out her location. As for now, let those three guys use it to kill time."

Haneda Hidegen smiled, wanting to say that it was impossible for Conan to accept help from others. The next moment, he suddenly heard the sound of frightened birds flying from the dense forest ahead.

He stretched out his hand and stopped Koizumi Hongzi who didn't notice, "Wait, there seems to be someone in front..."

Koizumi red child stop

Stepping down, as if thinking of something, he took out a pair of round glasses from the backpack behind him, put them in front of his eyes and stared into the distance for a few seconds, then carefully retracted the backpack, and said:

"There is no spiritual power fluctuation ahead, so it's not a ghost, it's a human."
