"I always feel like we are like a bunch of headless flies, running around here and there with no purpose at all."
On the way to the shrine, Hattori Heiji complained with drooping eyes.
"Really? I think it's more appropriate to be like a game character who takes on a series of tasks in the game. After getting a clue, you can find the next one." Karasawa held Ayako's hand and said casually with a smile.
"Everything is fine, I just want to find the shrine as soon as possible." Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes, "I hope I can get enough clues after arriving at the shrine."
"Don't worry, keep a normal mind." Karasawa and Ayako walked leisurely on the road, commenting on the scenery of the surrounding town from time to time, looking no different from ordinary tourists.
Kazuo Wenyan, who was on the side, couldn't help but agree: "That's right, Heiji, it's rare to come outside. Although it's to investigate a case, you have to keep a good mood on the way."
"Okay, okay, I understand." Hattori Heiji waved his hands in a perfunctory manner, "You just have to think about it. Because of the case, I don't have the time to enjoy the scenery leisurely."
"Really, Heiji, you are a jerk!"
Looking at Karasawa and Ayako, who were chatting and laughing and having a good atmosphere, and then looking at the black elm head next to him, Kazuya became extremely angry.
I know you came to the island for business, but are you on your way? Why don't you have a better attitude and talk to me?
What are you going to do, you idiot!
On the side, Hattori Heiji was confused when he heard Kazuha's words of "idiot". He looked at Kazuha confused and asked: "Kazuha, why did you suddenly scold me? I don't seem to have offended you, right?"
"Hey, what an idiot..." Karasawa couldn't help but sighed when he saw Hattori Heiji's performance.
"You're an idiot." Conan nodded in agreement.
"Idiot."
"He is indeed an idiot."
The Maori father and daughter on the side couldn't help but sigh when they saw this scene in front of them, which perfectly explained the "Law of Repeater" of the four essences of human beings.
"What! Even Maori-san and Ran-san are like this." Hattori Heiji looked crazy, "What on earth are you talking about? Why am I an idiot!?"
But in the end, no matter how Hattori Heiji asked, all he got was meaningful expressions and the words "You can figure it out for yourself."
For a moment, the air was filled with joy.
Finally, with Hattori Heiji's crazy expression, everyone arrived at the shrine and met Shimabukuro Kimie, the shrine's shrine maiden.
She wears a white and red miko uniform and has long hair, which gives people a gentle and friendly feeling, but the miko uniform also brings a touch of holiness to her.
"Hahahahaha..."
After the two parties met, Shimabukuro Kime's silvery laughter soon came from the shrine because of Mouri Kogoro's problem.
"There are no mermaids in the world. They are legendary mythical creatures." Shimabukuro Kime wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Besides, my grandma has never eaten mermaid meat."
After Yuan Shan and Ye heard each other's words, they felt as if the legend had been shattered, and couldn't help but said: "But everyone says that your grandma is immortal..."
"Grandma, she was born on June 24, Meiji 2!"
Shimabukuro Kimie, who was wearing a witch costume, said directly: "This is the information on the household registration, it is absolutely true, which means that my grandma just turned 130 years old this year. She is just an ordinary old man who lives a little longer.
It’s because everyone spread the word too much, and it gradually became more and more exaggerated.”
"Just live longer?" Xiaolan heard Shimabukuro Kimie sweating: "130 years old is already an exaggeration."
"But compared to those rumors, this is the real situation." Shimabukuro Kimie said matter-of-factly.
"So it's a rumor?" Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but be a little confused when he heard Shimabukuro Kimie's words.
In Mouri Kogoro's view, even if this is a lie, the shrine, where this legend originated, should not object.
After all, this legend has an unparalleled influence on a shrine, as you can see by looking at the crowds of tourists who came here during this festival.
Everyone knows without further explanation how much benefit such a flow of people will bring, but Shimabukuro Kimie denied it without any scruples, which is really unexpected.
"What about the 'Dugong Arrow'? Is it also fake?" Hearing Shimabukuro Kime's answer from the side, Kazuha couldn't help but ask.
"Ah, what are you talking about? My deceased mother once told me that in fact, "Dugong Arrow" was originally called "Curse Arrow".
But because of the longevity of my grandmother, the villagers on the island were far-fetched and called "Chujin" with the same pronunciation as "Dugong"."
"What about the others? Is there anything else you don't know about?"
Feeling that the fantasy of eternal youth was about to be shattered, Kazuha asked reluctantly: "For example, if you lose the "Dugong Arrow", you will be cursed or something.
The girl named Saori before, some people said that she lost the "Dugong Arrow", so she was cursed by the mermaid in revenge!"
"Impossible! Impossible!" Shimabukuro June waved his hands repeatedly: "I took a boat to the main island with Saori a few days ago. If something were to happen, wouldn't it have happened long ago?"
"Nani? You said you went to the main island with Miss Saori?"
"When is the specific time?"
Hattori Heiji and Mouri Kogoro on the side heard the other party inadvertently leaking important information, and couldn't help asking quickly.
"About four days ago..." Shimabukuro Kimie thought for a while and explained: "Because there are not many people on the island, no dentist is willing to open a clinic on the island, so we have to go to the main island for dental treatment.
It was Shaozhi who accompanied me to sea at that time."
"I don't know what Miss Saori's mental state was at that time?" Karasawa asked: "I heard that she lost last year's "Dugong Arrow" and was a little uneasy?"
"That's true. After the "Dugong Arrow" was lost, Shazhi seemed very scared and begged me to find her grandma to save her. Although I comforted her and told her not to take it to heart, she was still very scared.
, saying that he was cursed by the mermaid."
Shimabukuro Kimie looked a little guilty when she said this: "It's all my fault that when I handed over the arrows, in order to prevent those who thought they could live forever after getting the arrows, in the end they came to make trouble because it was ineffective.
So tell them that if they doubt the power of the arrows or lose the arrows, it will lead to the disaster of the mermaid descending.
But in fact, there is no such thing at all.”
At this moment, a sneer came, followed by a female voice in everyone's ears, "Jun Hui, you..."
