427. Ask me this question when you are enlightened

The ship docked, and Conan and his men boarded the island to inquire about the client.

"What? You said that Miss Saori Men's whereabouts are unknown at the moment?" After hearing from the staff on the island that Miss Saori who entrusted them to come, Hattori's bad premonition became even stronger.

"Yes. She didn't seem to go to work at work three days ago."

"From now on, it was exactly the time when the letter was sent to the house." Hattori held his chin. According to this calculation, Miss Saori had disappeared for more than three days.

The staff on the island thought that her whereabouts were not known, "but the neighbors were wondering if she had taken a boat to play on the local island."

This child runs away from home after a disagreement, and he doesn't have to worry about it once or twice.

He raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch, and said apologetically to Maori and others: "Sorry, I still have to go to the island to prepare for the celebration."

"What celebration?"

"Today is the day for our island to hold an annual dugong celebration! If you want to know anything, you can go to the specialty store in the saom weaving work in the corner to ask the owner."

Following the staff's advice, a few people walked to the entrance of the specialty store and met the oncoming Shangchuan and Yuanzi.

"Xiaolan?"

"Spring!"

The two girls looked at each other, shocked and delighted.

"Xiaolan, why are you here too?"

"We are here to investigate the case. But you, are you going to date Shunjun?" Xiaolan and Ye's faces also showed a teasing look.

"Just...just come out to play..." Two red clouds appeared on Yuanzi's face.

Not caring about the two girls' jokes, Uekawa Shin looked at Hattori Heiji, "What case are you investigating?"

Hattori Heiji briefly explained the story to him.

"The mermaid's call for help? This is interesting." If nothing unexpected happens, this should be a very famous case in the original work, but he doesn't remember the contents very much.

After a brief greeting, everyone returned to the topic and asked the store manager for information.

"Is there any news about Miss Yoshisaori? We have never been able to contact her."

"Saori must be afraid of the curse of the Dugong arrow, so she hid."

"Dugong Arrow?"

"Yes. That's the amulet of immortality. Legend has it that those who lose it will suffer a curse. Saori accidentally lost the arrow she got at the celebration last year. So she was so scared a week ago, afraid that the mermaids would seek her revenge..."

Kogoro Mouri was helpless, "Where is a mermaid in this world?"

"There is indeed a genius in the world." A female voice suddenly came from behind. Everyone looked back and saw a young lady with short hair standing at the door.

She continued, "Because there are real cases in the world where you will live forever after eating mermaid meat."

"And the dugong arrow made of the hair grown by the longevity woman with her mindful power can realize the dream of immortality no matter who falls into her hands." When talking about immortality, she lowered her head slightly, and there was madness hidden deep in her eyes.

"So Saori was afraid of mermaid revenge, so it was normal for her to escape from this island."

After saying that, she turned around and left without saying much.

"Who is she?" Kogoro Mouri felt that this inexplicable person was a little strange.

"She is Naoko Hei'e and a friend who grew up with Saori."

"The longevity woman she is talking about...?"

"Is it the protagonist of tonight's celebration? It is also a symbol of our island - the old lady Shimabukuro."

Hattori Heiji asked, "What is the actual age of that old lady now?"

"This... says she is one hundred and two hundred years old. Do you want to know? I suggest you can go to the shrine where the celebration is held on the island to take a look."

"shrine?"

"My grandmother Shimabukuro's great-granddaughter, Kyoto Ei, grew up with Saori, and should be there too."

When he heard the other party ask them to find someone else? Hattori was speechless? Why do they feel like a kicked ball?

Walking out of the specialty store, Hattori sighed? “Where is the shrine again?”

"I know, I'll take you there!" Yuanzi jumped to the front? She proudly led everyone. They had already visited the shrine in the morning? Know the way.

Hattori Heiji, who was behind, looked at Ukawa Shun with his half-moon eyes open, "When did you come?"

"I arrived yesterday afternoon."

"It's just you two?" The gossip fire in Conan's heart was burning.

Kurakawa Shin looked at him squintly, "Do you want to be a third party?"

"Uh..." Conan didn't know what he should do for a moment.

Hattori suddenly approached Kazukawa Shun with a strong gossip on his face? “How are you doing? Are you together?”

"No."

"Ah? We've all come out to play together, why haven't we been together yet?"

"Then why aren't you and He Ye still together?" Kurakawa asked back.

"Why should I be with her?"

Conan & Mikawa Shun: "......"

"When I didn't ask."

"You said that you obviously like each other, why aren't you still together?" Hattori refused to give in.

Conan glanced at Hattori sympathetically. I don’t know when I will be able to get it.

"So you can ask me this question after you see your relationship with Ye."

Hattori touched the back of his head in a daze. Did he have any other relationship with He Ye?

Kogoro Mouri glanced at the three guys behind?     Young people are really good at playing. I remember that he and Eiri got married as soon as they graduated...

Forget it, don't think about it anymore...

The dark clouds in the sky have not changed much? There is no sign of rain.

Everyone walked all the way to the shrine and found the shrine on duty, the witch Shimabuki Komi.

Hearing their questions? Shimabukuro Kine laughed out loud.

"How could my great-grandmother be two hundred years old? Actually, my great-grandmother turned 130 years old this year? Just check her household registration? You will know right away!"

As she said that, she felt helpless again, "It's just that she has lived a little longer than ordinary people, and she has been discussed like this..."

Conan's mouth twitched, how could he live a little longer...

"So, where is your great-grandmother now?"

"She is in the room now, and she is giving away the arrows she will send tonight's celebration to bless her devoutly."

"Then has your great-grandmother really eaten mermaid meat?" Kogoro Mouri was doubtful about the authenticity of this incident.

"Ah?" Shimabukuro Koichi was a little stunned, then he seemed to hear some funny joke, which was even more exaggerated than when they asked their great-grandmother about their age.
