Haneda Hidegen gave her a strange look, thinking that you must be too cautious.

Seemingly seeing what he was thinking, Koizumi Hongzi coughed and said:

"I just think that if you have nothing to do in such a deep mountain and old forest, even a human being must not be a good person...and..."

She glared at Haneda Xiuxuan, "Isn't it because your tone is too solemn?"

Haneda Hidegen was stunned. Recently, with Kogoro Mori and Conan, people are dying everywhere. Whenever he sees an abnormality, he feels that he is about to die...

Shaking his head, Haneda Hidegen whispered, "Let's go and have a look."

The two moved forward lightly, crossing a wooden post with the word "dangerous" written on it, and gradually, Haneda Hidegen heard soft sobs coming from ahead.

Crouching down, Haneda Hidegen turned over the bushes in front of him, and saw a girl in a red and white priestess costume kneeling on the ground, with a sacrificial coin beside her.

The girl's back twitched repeatedly, and with the low sniffling sound, it was obvious that she was crying.

In front of her, where two big rocks overlap, three incense sticks were placed on the ground and burned slowly, and thin smoke rose.

The girl suddenly raised her head, wiped her tears, and whispered:

"Mom, I will definitely avenge you, definitely..."

……

Walking out of the dense forest, Haneda Hidegen walked towards the hotel with Koizumi Hongzi, but he was thinking about the scene he just saw in his heart.

The revenge the girl spoke of was definitely not throwing dirt on someone's house.

The biggest possibility is to stop killing by killing...

Judging from the clothes and the coins around her, she should be a priestess here. Perhaps, by going to the shrine, you can know her identity and find out who is related to her...

And that mysterious client, Menxie Saori, disappeared for several days, where is now?Could it be the person Miko intends to get rid of?

With doubts in mind, Haneda Hidegen arrived at the hotel, and saw that Kazuha and the others had packed their luggage and seemed to be preparing to go out.

Seeing the two of them, Xiaolan patted He Ye and said with a smile, "Let me just say, even if Uncle Haneda doesn't have a map, he can still find the way. He Ye, you are too caring."

After finishing speaking, she planned to tell the embarrassing things about He Ye, "Uncle Haneda, you didn't know just now, and He Ye... um... um..."

He Ye covered Xiaolan's mouth and said with a smile:

"What Xiaolan means is that she is a little hungry. Uncle Haneda, you should pack your luggage quickly and go out for lunch with us."

Haneda Hidegen nodded, glanced at his watch, and asked, "What about Mori and the others? Could it be that the client hasn't been found yet?"

It can make Hattori Heiji and Conan unable to find any clues. Is it true that Menxie Saori is in danger?

He Ye glanced at Xiaolan, saw that she blinked innocently, and silently let go of her hand.

Xiaolan took a deep breath and explained: "Father and the others seem to have encountered some difficulties. Let us leave them alone and gather at the shrine here in the afternoon."

Haneda Hidegen nodded, "Alright then."

……

After eating Fukui's special seafood dishes, a few people came to the American Shrine on the top of the mountain.

Seeing the miko who appeared in front of her holding the coin, Koizumi Koko immediately opened her eyes wide and looked at Haneda Hidegen.Qianqian

Isn't this the girl they met in the woods just now! ?

Haneda Xiuxuan had already guessed in his heart, and said without changing his face: "May I ask if the lottery cards for the Dugong Conference are purchased here? We are tourists who came to participate."

The haze on Miko's body has been swept away, and she said with a smile: "You guys came just in time, if you come later, maybe the lottery card will be gone..."

She took out 5 wooden cards with numbers written on them from her sleeve, "Here, this is the lottery card, you can use the numbers on it to participate in the evening ceremony, and you may get the arrow of the dugong, which represents blessing. .”

Chapter 224 The Mermaid Legend of American Island 2

Reining in a good mood, Junhui Shimabukuro handed the number plate with "九洋四" to Haneda Hidegen, then spread out a hand, and said with a smile:

"Several people, a wooden sign is 5 yen, and the total benefit is 25 yen. May I ask you to pay together or separately?"

"Together," He Ye took out his frog wallet from his pocket, "Let me come, I happened to bring change..."

Seeing that it was so cheap, Xiaolan didn't stop her. She asked curiously, "Miss Shimabukuro, if it's only 5 yen, isn't it a bit too cheap?"

Shimabukuro-kun Hui patted the neck with the coin, and told the truth:

"In fact, even if the wooden sign is very cheap, everyone will donate some money today. There are a lot of tourists received these days, and the income is actually quite considerable."

Haneda Hidegen nodded. The shrine may not have been intentional, but it just catered to the psychology of tourists.

If the wooden sign sells for a few thousand yen, it may not fail to sell, but the tourists who did not win the lottery will definitely not come to be taken advantage of next time.

And sold at a super low price, even if you don't win the lottery, tourists will not feel that they have lost anything.

When you meet emotional tourists, you may even feel a little sorry to buy it for only 5 yen, which is a good sign, and take the initiative to donate to the shrine.

Sure enough, when He Ye heard that donations were still available, he immediately asked where the merit box was, and then put a 5000-yen note into it to be satisfied.

Seeing the happy appearance with Ye, Huiyuan shook her head, took a look at the wooden sign assigned to her hand, and caught a glimpse of "[-]" written on the front, she frowned slightly:

'When I came here a few years ago, I seemed to draw this number...'

……

Shimabukuro Junhui was talking about the history of the shrine with a few people, and suddenly found that there were tourists coming. Among them, a boy with a hat and dark skin took the initiative to speak:

"Huh? So Uncle Haneda, you guys have already arrived..."

When everyone turned their heads, they saw Kogoro Moori approaching, each holding a half-eaten baguette in their hands.

"It seems that no useful clues have been found, and the few people are not in the mood to sit down for lunch..." Haneda Hidegen came to a conclusion.

He Ye patted his chest and said happily: "They look so miserable, it's great that they didn't go with them..."

Xiaolan smiled and said, "Father and Conan are still working very hard for reasoning."

Hearing this, Haneda Hidegen almost laughed out loud.

Reasoning is described as hard work, just like the teacher's evaluation of the students in the final comments-this life is usually very hard.

The meaning of encouragement is too obvious.

Mori Kogoro, who was very assiduous in his reasoning, complained as soon as he walked up to Haneda Hidegen:

"It's really bad luck for me to believe the words of this black-skinned guy... This morning I accompanied him around the island for several hours, but I didn't even see the face of the client's door assistant Sazhi..."

He took a big bite of the bread, and continued:

"After we got out of the office, we went to the client's house, but there was no one in her house, and her alcoholic father didn't know where to drink, so we can only come here to meet with you first. gone."

Hattori Heiji scratched his head, a little embarrassed,

"I'm really sorry. When I received her commission, I thought that there was a good event here today, so I agreed... But I couldn't get through when I called later. It was my fault that I didn't understand clearly. "

At this time, Junhui Shimabukuro suddenly raised his head, "Are you talking about Saori who works in a souvenir shop?"

"That's right," Mori Kogoro nodded subconsciously, and then looked at Junhui Shimabukuro, "What's wrong? Does this lady know her?"

Shimabukuro Junhui nodded, "My name is Shimabukuro Junhui, and I am a partner who grew up with Saori."

Conan's eyes lit up, he quickly swallowed the bread in his mouth, and asked, "Excuse me, do you have any clues about her?"

Junhui Shimabukuro did not answer right away, but glanced at the three of them, "Who are you? Is there anything important to find Saori?"

Mori Kogoro slapped his head, "I forgot to introduce myself..."

He took out a folded newspaper from his breast pocket, handed it to Junhui Shimabukuro, cleared his throat and said:

"To be honest, I am a well-known detective in Tokyo, Kogoro Mori is also... I came here to fulfill the commission of Ms. Saori from the sect association, and at the same time bring my daughter to participate in the annual dugong festival here.

General Assembly. "

June Shimabukuro unfolded the newspaper, looked up at Kogoro Mori himself, then lowered his head, looked at the evaluation of "Kogoro Akechi in reality" in the newspaper, swallowed,

"You, are you really a detective?"

Mori Kogoro smiled confidently, "It's true."

Conan and Hattori Heiji looked at each other and sighed tacitly.

Xiaolan raised her forehead and said helplessly:

"Dad, why did you really bring the newspaper? Didn't you tell you not to bring it any more?"

Mori Kogoro was confident, "To go to a remote island, it is always more convenient to have some popularity..."

"You guys are afraid that others don't know you..." Haneda Hidegen couldn't listen anymore, and reminded:

"Maori, you'd better hurry up and ask about the business, Miss Shimabukuro still needs to prepare for the dugong meeting later."

"Oh, that's right, that's right," Mori Kogoro remembered his business, and looked at Junhui Shimabukuro,

"Miss Shimabukuro, I heard that Ms. Monsho Saori often ran away from home because she often quarreled with her father. Do you have any other contact methods for her?"

Junhui Shimabukuro shook her head, "Sorry, I don't know..."

Conan couldn't help asking: "Then when was the last time you saw her?"

Hearing this question, Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "Kudo suspects that Saori Monko is in danger..."

Shimabukuro Junhui was silent for a moment, and said:

"It was four days ago, because my toothache was so unbearable, so please ask her to accompany me to Fukui mainland."

Hattori Heiji then asked: "Did she have any abnormalities at that time? For example, did she say something strange?"

"This..." Junhui Shimabukuro lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, then said softly:

"I must say that after Saori lost the Dugong Arrow, she was always afraid of being retaliated by the mermaid, so she was always in a low mood when she accompanied me to the sea..."

Seeing Mori Kogoro groaning silently, Shimabukuro Junhui said again:

"I think, because she is approaching the Dugong Conference, she took a boat to the mainland to avoid the limelight..."

Conan frowned, "No, if you really want to avoid the limelight, after she accompanied you to the mainland, Miss Shimabukuro, there is no need to come back..."

Junhui Shimabukuro was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "That's what you said..."

"Excuse me, Miss Shimabukuro..." Mori Kogoro stuffed the rest of the bread into his mouth, and said vaguely while chewing:

"Let's go see the client's father. If he doesn't even know...then we can only call the police and let the Fukui police come and deal with it."

After swallowing the bread, Mori Kogoro looked at Junhui Shimabukuro, "Miss Shimabukuro, do you know where Mr. Menki often goes to drink?"

For the friends of the door association Saori, this is not a secret, and Shimabukuro Junhui replied:

"There is an izakaya next to the hotel in Yamashita Shopping Street, and Saori's father often goes there."

"I see, thank you." Mori Kogoro said.

Conan and Hattori Heiji glanced at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

But now, apart from reporting the crime and letting the police worry about this option, the only way to go is to meet the client's relatives and friends.

……

Watching the three of them leave, Kazuha looked at Haneda Hidegen, "Uncle Haneda, where are we going now?"

The island is not well developed. Apart from commercial streets, villages, ports and shrines, there are only forests and mountains left. Even if you want to kill time, you have to have somewhere to go.

"Several..." Shimabukuro Junhui who was holding a broom on the side suddenly said:

"If you don't mind, I can show you around. There are many hidden cliffs on this small island. It is very dangerous if you are not familiar with the road."

Xiaolan raised her eyebrows slightly, she seemed a little moved, but she still said politely:

"Would it be too much trouble for Ms. Shimabukuro? Doesn't the shrine still need to hold a party at night?"

Junhui Shimabukuro said with a smile:

"As long as you come back before the evening, you'll be fine. In fact, some chores are prepared by the people in the community center. Grandma and I just need to be responsible for keeping our spirits up so that we don't make mistakes at night."

"Grandma...it should be herself..." Haneda Hidegen looked at the shrine and asked:

"Miss Shimabukuro, isn't your grandma the long-lived woman that the islanders call her? Is she also in the shrine now?"

Shimabukuro-kun

Hui didn't seem to expect that he would suddenly mention grandma, and was taken aback for a moment, and a smile quickly appeared on his face again:

"Grandma, because of her age, her body is not very agile, and she usually doesn't go out, but you can see her tonight."
