Chapter 1217 Loli Ai: If you let me wear this thing, I might as well die!
"What? Something unexpected happened?"
Next to them, Xiaolan, and Ye Wenyan all looked shocked, covering their mouths with their hands: "Hattori, Detective Koshisui, you are saying that Miss Saori Menxie has..."
Hattori Heiji and Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at each other, and then Hattori Heiji nodded and said: "Yes, the possibility is not small now."
After Hattori Heiji finished speaking, Uncle Maori raised his eyebrows and asked: "Really, didn't Mr. Kobayashi from the village office say that Saori probably left the island and went to the mainland? You said that Miss Saori encountered something unexpected, did you?
What evidence?”
Hearing this, Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes speechlessly, took the commission letter from Koshizui Nanatsuki's hand, and looked at Uncle Mouri: "Uncle Mouri, haven't you discovered it yet? Detective Koshimizu received the commission letter two days ago.
Days ago. There is also the postmark above, the time was four days ago, and the location was also on the American Island! If Miss Saori is really like what the people on the island said, she lost the dugong arrow and was afraid of the mermaid's revenge, so she escaped
If you go to the mainland, why would you send a commission letter to Detective Yueshui at this time? Isn't this unnecessary? "
After Hattori Heiji finished speaking, Koshizui Nanatsuki took over and said: "...That's right. In my letter of entrustment, Miss Saori not only wrote that she had failed to seek help from Hattori-san before, she also wrote, 'The mermaid is about to be killed.
Words like "Waiting for your help on the island" are enough to show that Miss Saori has been waiting for our arrival on the island..."
"Wait a minute!" Kazuye noticed something was wrong and interrupted, "Detective Koshimizu, the person who said 'waiting for help' in Miss Saori's commission letter is clearly a 'mermaid'. How did you say it was Miss Saori?"
After talking to Ye, Xiaolan immediately nodded in agreement, and Conan replied softly: "Sister Xiaolan, Sister Ye, and Miss Saori, the 'mermaid' in the two commission letters actually refers to herself.
!Have you forgotten? The legend that Detective Yueshui just told..."
"That legend?" Xiaolan and He Ye still don't quite understand.
Conan continued to explain helplessly: "What the longevity lady said is - the dugong arrow was originally a treasure arrow to ward off evil spirits, but once let go or lost, the monster will build a nest on the owner. If it is a man,
If she is a woman, she will enter the earth and become a heartless evil spirit. If she is a woman, she will enter the water and become a mermaid that cannot speak..."
"...Miss Saori lost her dugong arrow, and it is said that she believed in this legend so much that she was so scared that she naturally thought that she was a mermaid being nested by monsters!"
When Xiaolan and Heye heard this, they all screamed "Ah": "Could it be that Miss Saori was really given to a monster..."
"Idiot! How is that possible?" Hattori Heiji put his hands behind his head and looked at Kazuha with squinting eyes:
"There are no monsters or mermaids in this world! If Miss Saori has really encountered an accident, it was definitely caused by someone. Unfortunately, we have too few clues, and now everything is just
It’s just a guess!”
"That's right." Koshizui Nanatsuki nodded, raised his hand and looked at his watch, "The Dugong Festival is held at seven o'clock and will end at about nine o'clock. At that time, we will go to Miss Saori's house to investigate and see
Will you find something? As for now...it's getting late, how about we go have something to eat first and then come back to participate in the dugong celebration?"
"Eat? Okay!"
Conan and the others nodded together, and then looked at Koshizu Nanatsuki curiously: "Detective Koshimizu, are you also interested in the Dugong Festival?"
"Yes!" Koshimizu Nanatsuki nodded, and then took out a number plate from his pocket, "Don't the people on the island say that as long as you get the Dugong Arrow, you can stay young forever? Although it is clear that
I know this legend is false, but as a woman, I still can't resist the temptation and want to get one...even if it's just a false blessing! Right, Xiaolan, Heye?"
"Well, that's right!" Xiaolan and Ye smiled and nodded in agreement.
…
Six o'clock in the afternoon, American Island.
Before I knew it, it was completely dark, and the island was lit up with tiny lights, making the island very beautiful.
Outside a certain clothing store on the island, Shu Yunwen, Tsukamoto Sumi, and Loli Ai stood outside the door and looked at the flashing mermaid neon lights outside the store. Then Tsukamoto Sumi said: "The one recommended by the owner of the snack bar is
Is this a shop?”
"Well, that should be it!" Shu Yunwen nodded, "How about we go in and take a look first, and if we make a mistake, we can search again!~"
"makes sense."
Tsukamoto Sumi nodded, then looked at the Loli next to her with a smile and said, "Xiao Ai, let's go in and take a look together!~"
As Tsukamoto Sumi said, she pulled Loli Ai, who looked cold and emotionless, into the store. She walked directly to a staff member and asked: "Hello, do you have any children's clothes in the store?"
Mermaid suit?"
"Yes, that's right." The staff member nodded, then looked at Loli Ai and asked with a smile, "Are you buying a mermaid suit for this lovely little girl?"
"Yes." Tsukamoto Sumi nodded slightly.
"Such a cute little girl, she must be very cute in a mermaid costume!" The staff praised Loli Ai, then made a "please" gesture and said, "Guys, please come with me. The counter of the mermaid costume requires
A little inside."
As the staff spoke, they brought Shu Yunwen and others to the counter where mermaid suits were sold. He pointed to a mannequin wearing a mermaid suit next to him and said, "Guys, this is the mermaid suit specially used for celebrations on our island!"
Shu Yunwen, Tsukamoto Sumi and others looked over together and saw that the mannequin had two shells fastened on the upper body and the lower body was covered with scales and trousers that imitated fish tails. The most puzzling thing is that
, the dummy actually has a fish-head-shaped hat on its forehead!
When Shu Yunwen saw the mermaid suit, he almost burst out laughing. Tsukamoto Sumi, Kimijima Kana, and Miyano Akemi's eyes lit up, and they all exclaimed:
"It's so beautiful and interesting! Xiao Ai, can we just buy this?"
When Loli Ai heard this, her eyelids twitched twice and she almost collapsed——
MMP! So beautiful? So interesting?
What a beautiful yarn! This thing is obviously called weird, okay?
If you really wore this to attend a celebration, you would be so embarrassed!
Loli Ai was in the process of collapse when the staff next to her smiled and introduced: "You guys have really good eyesight! This set of mermaids is modeled after our mermaid legend here. The shells on her upper body are carefully selected and the sizes are almost the same."
The shells and fishtail pants on the lower body can not only be spread out as a skirt, but also have a built-in zipper that can be pulled up to become a simulated fishtail. It can be like a mermaid in TV or movies, slowly moving with the fishtail, which is very
interesting……"
"What is that fish head on that head?" Tsukamoto asked curiously.
"That's a decoration. It's the headdress of the mermaid in our mermaid legend." The staff explained, "Our headdress has neon lights added to it, which makes it look very beautiful when it lights up!"
The staff member said, pressed a certain light, and then saw that the fish head-shaped hat suddenly began to glow, especially a pair of light bulb-shaped fish eyes, which glowed red for a while, green for a while, and yellow for a while.
Call it bright and dazzling...
Loli'ai looked at this scene, the corner of her mouth twitched twice, and she almost cried out——
Damn it! If you let me wear this thing... I might as well die!
