Chapter 448 What is not put into the box cannot be called a gift
Although there are many tourists coming to the island, most people know that the dugong celebration is held at night.
Therefore, when Ye Gengyi and his friends came to the shrine, except for a few tourists, there was only a girl in a witch suit who was cleaning the courtyard with a broom.
"Current incense and pray for blessings to the front hall, come back the day after tomorrow. If you want to buy a dugong arrow, please turn around and leave the door there..."
Shimabukuro Kin-ei smiled, and everyone greeted him with a calm expression. When he finished saying this, he just lowered his head again to clean up his homework.
At first glance, I have seen it after many experiences and are very proficient in routines.
"Uh..." Hattori Heiji sweated for a while, "We are here to find the Nagasa."
"Then you have to wait for the evening..."
Shimabukuro Kin-ei smiled. Before she could come up with the second set of words to deal with the tourists, Ye Gengyi stepped over Hattori Heiji and came to the girl dressed in witch and asked:
"How old is the longevity woman?"
"Twenty-seven...ah, no!" Shimabukuro Komaki turned pretty and subconsciously stepped back halfway and said, "One Hundred and Thirty years old, my grandmother just turned 130 years old this year..."
Ye Geng nodded, his tone calm, "We came to the island this time to meet this Ren Rui, so... if it is convenient, can I visit her now?"
Shimabukuro Kin-ei showed a embarrassed look, but her tone was still very firm, "No, she is old and in poor health. She should be resting in the bedroom now and prepare for the celebration tonight."
"That's it..." Ye Gengyi said, his eyes randomly falling in the direction of the backyard of the shrine.
Hello...are you going to go straight to the point of breaking through?
Hattori Heiji sweated for a while and hurriedly said, "That, can you really see that longevity woman at night?"
"Of course," said Shimabukuro Kotomi; "She was very attentive to give the three Dugong arrows."
"God...divine power?" Kogoro Mouri's eyes widened, "So, has that old lady really eaten mermaid meat?"
“Eh???”
Shimabukuro Koichi was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "How is that possible? How could there be a creature like a mermaid in the world..."
"But, but what about the Dugong arrow?" asked Kogoro Mori.
Shimabukuro Koichi explained: "My deceased mother said that it was originally called the 'Supremnant Arrow'. Later, because my grandmother lived a long life, she changed her name to the 'Dugong Arrow'."
There is clearly a long-lived grandmother, but her mother has passed away...
Thinking of this, Ran Mori couldn't help saying, "Will Reidon's death be with the mermaid..."
"It has nothing to do with the mermaid. She and her father suffered a disaster when they went to sea five years ago." Shimabukuro Junhui sighed, "So, only grandma and I are left to depend on each other..."
"So will there be something you don't know?" Yuanshan and Ye couldn't help saying, "For example, if you have eaten mermaid meat, you will be cursed when you leave the island..."
"Impossible!" Shimabukuro Juni looked at the two gossip girls in front of him helplessly and explained: "I have also been to the island by boat with Saori before. Do you think I'm fine now?"
"What? Follow Saori!"
Hattori Heiji, who was about to leave here and go to find clues elsewhere, ran back immediately after hearing this, "When, when did you go to the main island with Miss Saori!"
"Well..." Shimabukuro Kin-ei tilted her head and thought, "Four days ago, because there is no dentist on this island, Saori went with me."
Kogoro Mouri hurriedly asked, "How was Miss Saori's mental state at that time? Have you ever said anything strange to you?"
"To talk about emotions..."
Shimabukuro Kin-ei thought for a while and said, "Saori was very scared because she lost the Dugong arrow... She also asked me to ask Grandma Zu to think of a way. No matter how I told her that the curse would not happen.
, She felt that she had lost the item and was cursed by the mermaid."
"oh?"
Ye Gengyi suddenly said: "A person who is worried that he will be cursed when leaving the island will actually accompany you to see a dentist. So, you two should be good friends, right?"
"Ah?" Shimabukuro Kin-ei was startled, "Yes, yes, Saori and I have been friends since we were young..."
"So," Ye Gengyi seemed to have fumbled out of his pocket for a moment, and then took out a necklace, "Can you ask you to get it?"
"This...isn't it good?" Shimabukuro Kin-e took it in a daze, his mind chaotic.
No response?
Ye Gengyi looked at the 'evil-exorcist' in the other party's hand, and was silent for a moment and took it back, "Oh, since you don't think it's good, then give it back to me."
Shimabukuro Koichi: "???"
When the others saw this witch who was well-behaved and agile before, they were so helpless that Ye Gengyi was foolish.
By the way, it would be fine if it was to investigate clues, but what is the operation of taking back the necklace you sent out...
"Puff... Junhui, what's wrong with you?"
A tall and thin woman with shawl hair suddenly came over me, "Is this handsome guy the boyfriend you are looking for outside the island?"
"Sumi..." Shimabukuro Kin-e turned his head in a daze, and was silent for a long time before he came back to the scene, "Don't talk nonsense! They are tourists coming to the island for fun, and we only met for the first time today!"
"Sorry, sorry, I misunderstood." The person known as Sumi said: "However, it is not good to promote tourists that there are no mermaids on the island... Especially three years ago, I really found it here.
The corpse of a mermaid..."
"Three years ago? Speaking of it...it seems that this incident was indeed reported on TV, and it caused a lot of sensation!"
Kogoro Mori dragged his chin with one hand and said, "I remember it seemed that he had found a strange burnt corpse in a fire warehouse..."
"No, that's because the TV station's reports were too exaggerated," Shimabukuro Komae quickly explained: "And since then, many guests have come one after another, especially in the few months when the incident happened.
There are also many big names from the local area. Their bodyguards conducted large-scale searches on the island. If there were real mermaids, they would have been discovered long ago."
Three years ago?
Ye Gengyi did not listen to her subsequent explanation.
Instead, I remembered the half of the fish spine placed in the black box.
If Karasuma Renya had died 40 years ago, then he would not have sent people to this island to look for the secret of immortality after reading the reports three years ago.
I also tried that fish bone with the "Evil-Exorcist Nemesis" and the result was the same as Shimabukuro Kin-e, without any response.
Assuming that the fish bones have lost the effect of immortality over time, and this Shimabukuro Kin-ei does not have the ability of her grandmother, she can only wait until tonight or sneak into the backyard of the shrine to know.
It's right.
