On the edge of the towering cliff, there is an old crooked-neck tree.
There are two people hanging on the old crooked neck tree.
Hattori Heiji grabbed the branch with one hand and held the distant mountain and leaves tightly with the other hand.
When he was about to fall off the cliff, at the critical moment, Heye stepped forward and pulled him back, but he was about to fall due to the reaction force.
Of course, Heiji couldn't just watch his sweetheart fall. He rushed forward with all his strength, grabbed Kazuha's hand, and fell with her.
Fortunately, generally speaking, there is often a tree on the edge of a cliff that has experienced wind, sun, and rain.
So it became what it is now.
Kazuha looked upward and saw that Heiji was struggling to hold on, but the branch he was holding on to was already showing a faint tendency to break.
Kazuye knew that both of them would die if this continued, with tears in his eyes, he made a decision and used the sharp "dugong arrow" he carried with him to stab Heiji's hand that held her, hoping that he would let go.
Open yourself.
But what she didn't expect was that there was a wound on Heiji's hand. The blood was bleeding, but the hand holding her never relaxed at all.
"He Ye, don't move...if you dare to move, I will definitely kill you..."
Hattori Heiji noticed Kazuha's intentions and glared at her fiercely, but he also felt that his arms were bearing the weight of the two people and were already numb by now.
In a few minutes, if no one finds them yet, the two of them might really die here.
"Is there anyone there?!" he shouted, hoping to attract the attention of passers-by.
"Help!!" Kazuha quickly understood Heiji's intention and shouted for help.
The shouts echoed in the mountains and forests, but there was no response.
When the two of them were already feeling a little desperate, a familiar voice suddenly came from above their heads.
"Why are you two here?"
Heiji and Kazuha looked up when they heard the sound and saw a very familiar face with a look of surprise on it.
"Mr. Minamoto?" Heiji was overjoyed, "Mr. Minamoto! Please save us!"
"Don't be impatient. I'll be here soon."
As he spoke, Yuanhuaiyu threw a rope from the top of the cliff.
…
Inside the synagogue on Mermaid Island.
"That's right...the murderer showed the number plate that won the Dugong Arrow during the festival..."
"Destiny!"
The whole place was in an uproar.
None of the villagers or police present could have imagined that the murderer pointed out by the sleeping Kogoro turned out to be one hundred and thirty years old!
And as Conan used the bow-tie voice changer to speak in the voice of Kogoro Mori, everyone finally felt that the fog in front of their eyes had cleared.
After listening to the detective's account, Shimabukuro Kimie took the initiative to remove the mask from his face in front of everyone.
Only then did those who didn't know the inside story realize that the fates on Mermaid Island had always been pretended by others, and there was no such thing as a 130-year-old longevity woman.
Looking at the shocked people, Shimabukuro Kimie allowed the police to handcuff her, and her eyes moved as she recalled the conversation at noon today.
Although a 130-year-old longevity woman does not exist, her great-grandmother Shimabukuro Yakoto actually lived to be more than 100 years old.
And today, like her great-grandmother, she also received a gift from the mermaid.
After taking that drop of blood, she no longer had any doubts about the man's words.
She could feel the changes taking place in her body. It was a feeling of being completely transformed. Every time she breathed, she could feel the strong vitality in her body.
The same drop of blood as more than fifty years ago, this is what Yuanhuaiyu left to her.
In addition, Shimabukuro Kimie also had a series of contact information in his mind.
"If you encounter any situation that cannot be solved at all in the future, you can use this contact information to contact me. Of course, if you just want to ask me out for a cup of coffee, I am also very happy."
The man's words echoed in his mind, and an imperceptible smile appeared on Shimabukuro Kime's face.
…
"Hey! Hattori, where have you been? How did you end up like this?"
Conan was immediately surprised when he looked at Hattori Heiji, who was dusty and tired.
Heiji looked at Kazuha who was sitting next to him, sleeping against him, and replied with a wry smile: "We got lost in the jungle, and happened to find the tomb of Miss Kimi's mother, and almost fell off the cliff..."
"Fortunately, Mr. Yuan showed up at that time and saved us, otherwise you wouldn't have seen the two of us."
"Teacher Yuan?" Conan's eyes widened, "Why is he there?"
"I don't know either."
Heiji frowned slightly: "But he carried a rope with him. It looked like he knew in advance that we would hang on the cliff, and appeared in front of us at that time to rescue Kazuha and me."
"It must be a coincidence..." Conan said, "Did you ask him what he was doing at Mermaid Island?"
Heiji shook his head: "I asked, but he didn't say anything. He just said that he had something to do."
"What about others now?"
"He's gone, I don't know where he went. To be honest, if this wound hadn't reminded me that everything that happened today was real, I wouldn't have thought that he would be here."
Heiji looked at the bandaged wound on his hand and secretly glanced at Kazuha next to him with tenderness in his eyes.
"Teacher Yuan...Mermaid Island...could it be that the person I saw on the roster before was really Haiyuan?"
Conan fell into deep thought, looking for the reason why Yuanhuaiyu appeared on this island.
"After I go back, I have to ask her..."
…
"Back?"
Haiyuan Ai heard the sound of the door opening downstairs, stopped his research, opened the door of the laboratory and walked out.
Halfway downstairs, she saw Yuan Huaiyu holding a bag and closing the door of the villa. After changing her shoes, she took off her coat and hung it on a hanger beside her, and looked over.
"Huh? Xiao Ai? You haven't gone back yet?"
Yuan Huaiyu was a little surprised when he looked at Hui Yuan Ai who was standing at the top of the stairs looking at him.
She had stayed here before, but never for two nights in a row like this time.
"It's the winter vacation anyway, and my research has reached an important bottleneck, so I told Dr. Ali that I won't go back for the time being..."
Hui Yuan Ai asked casually: "How's it going? Are you done with your affairs?"
"It's done." Yuan Huaiyu stretched and walked upstairs, "I'm a little tired today, I'm going to bed first, don't worry about me."
When he got closer, Huiyuan Ai discovered that Yuan Huaiyu, who had always been full of energy and vitality, looked unusually tired today.
Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Yuan Huaiyu responded with a smile: "Don't worry, there's no problem. I'll just take a good rest."
