The sixth man of Conan's police academy

Chapter 244 Mermaid Island

Mermaid Island is located in Fukushima Prefecture in northern Kyushu. It was already afternoon when we arrived at Mermaid Island from Tokyo.

The long journey was naturally tiring, but for Miyano Shiho, the three men in black sitting next to her made her feel even more tired.Along the way, she felt that her face had been glanced at several times, and she probably thought that she was the mysterious daughter of a gang - with three "ferocious" gangster bodyguards.

Ritsu Sasashima still maintains Ogier's face today, or it could be said that the face with the cross scar is his true appearance.

Of course, not counting eye color.

After setting foot on Mermaid Island, Sasashima Ritsu put his hands in his pockets and looked at Gin beside him, and asked: "Gin, can you tell me the specific content of the mission now? We can't really let us go find the mermaid. I'm materialistic. I don’t believe that things that appear in fairy tales really exist in the world.”

Miyano Shiho was still wearing the white coat. It was obvious that she didn't want to dress up when going on a mission.Especially after hearing Ogier's speech, she smiled and said: "Oh, dugongs do exist, but there are no dugongs in the waters of Fukuoka Prefecture."

Gin glanced at Shirley coldly, took out a document from his pocket and handed it to Ogier, gesturing for him to read the contents.

Ritsu Sasashima reached out and took it, and found that it was not a document but a newspaper. It recorded that the American island in Fukuoka Prefecture was nicknamed "Mermaid Island". This was attributed to the longevity of a long-lived woman on the island who was as old as 129 years old.

In the past, Ritsu Sasashima would have tskted his tongue in disbelief at this number, but now that he knew the core secret of the organization, he was not surprised. He calmly handed the newspaper to Vodka and asked, "So our mission is to find this person." Changshou Po, and then ask about the secret of longevity?”

"Well, that gentleman is interested in longevity and wants to make medicines that extend life."

It seems that Gin and Vodka are still kept in the dark. They still don't know that the research purpose of APTX4869 is related to extending lifespan.It seems that the gentleman is anxious to develop medicine A, otherwise he would not send them to Mermaid Island to find the longevity woman.

"A drug to prolong life?" Ritsu Sasashima glanced at Miyano Shiho who lowered his head and said nothing, and proactively suggested: "Then go to the information office on the island and ask about it first, and you and Vodka shouldn't follow. "

Gin & Vodka:?
"You look too much like you are collecting protection money, you will scare people." Ritsu Sasashima raised his fingers at Miyano expressionlessly, and said calmly: "Follow me."

Miyano Shiho admired Ogier for having the courage to talk to Gin like this. She silently followed him to the consultation office on the island, and easily asked some relevant knowledge.

Just like this island became a tourist attraction because of the existence of the longevity goddess, many tourists come here for the legend of the mermaid and the longevity goddess - it can be said that the "specialty" of the American island is the dugong.

"Dugong Arrow? What is that?" Ritsu Sasashima asked curiously.

"That is the amulet of immortality. Every year, three dugong arrows are awarded to lucky villagers and tourists at the annual dugong celebration." The uncle from the consultation office patiently explained.

Dugong Arrow, amulet of immortality.

Sasashima Ritsu and Miyano Shiho felt helpless in their hearts. The residents of this island were really superstitious.

"By the way, if you are interested, you can go to the shrine to find Shimabukuro Kimie. Maybe you can catch up."

"Catch up with what?"

The uncle at the consultation office said with a smile: "The Dugong Festival will be held tonight. I'm not sure if there are any number plates that have not been sold out. Dugong Arrows are distributed through the number plates."

So that’s it, no wonder I came here today.

"okay, thank you."

The two walked out of the information office. Miyano Shiho said without interest: "Are you planning to go to the shrine?"

"I see that you are not interested in the mermaid legend. Don't girls want to grow old slowly?" Ritsu Sasashima was a little curious. Someone like Miyano who likes luxury goods and pays attention to appearance should be very interested. .

"Longevity and aging slowly are two different things. Instead of living as a wrinkled old woman, it is better to be reincarnated early and enjoy the next life."

Ritsu Sasashima pursed his lips slightly and did not answer this concept. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Let's go, at least let this matter be clarified, and... you don't have to stay so far away from me, I won't eat you."

Miyano Shiho frowned and kept a safe distance, and said coldly: "I don't like to get too close to you, don't you?"

"Naturally it is possible."

It's really hurt. The sister I love and care for now hates me.

The two of them walked towards the shrine and saw a miko in a miko costume sweeping away dead leaves.She has beautiful black hair and a fair and beautiful appearance. Especially paired with this miko costume, it is simply tailor-made for her.

"Hello, does Ms. Shimabukuro Kimie work at this shrine?"

The beautiful miko stopped what she was doing and asked doubtfully: "I am Shimabukuro Kime, do you want to see me?"

Is he Shimabukuro Kimie?Could it be the 129-year-old longevity woman?

Ritsu Sasashima frowned and looked at her face carefully. There was no sign of disguise, so she...could be related to APTX4869.

"You are Miss Junhui, that's right. I want to participate in tonight's dugong celebration. Do you have any extra number plates?"

Junhui Shimabukuro took out dozens of number plates from his pocket, and said with a smile: "I still have a lot of unsold ones here, so you can choose two numbers you like."

"Just take two. How much does it cost?"

"Five yen a piece."

Five yen?Ritsu Sasashima couldn't help being surprised, she didn't expect Longevity Possessed to be so conscientious, a number plate is only five yen, even if she has held Dugong celebrations for many years, she can't make much money.

"Thank you for your patronage. Remember to join the celebration here at 19 o'clock tonight."

"Ok."

Sasashima Ritsu looked at the two number plates in his hand, which read Si Shi Jiu and Wu Shi respectively.He handed one of them to Miyano Shiho. After all, one person couldn't have two number plates.

After confirming the time of the celebration, the two returned to the dock and saw them enjoying oden-cooked vodka and smoking gin.With such a wolfish look, Sasashima Ritsu wondered if Laofu hadn't eaten in a few days.

"Well, brother, they are back."

Qin Jiu turned his head to look at the two of them, and asked, "How is it?"

Ritsu Sasashima shook the number plate with "五十" printed on it, and said, "I didn't see the longevity woman, but I got some information, and I bought a number plate that can draw dugong arrows."

After Vodka saw the numbers on the number plate clearly, he was surprised and said: "Huh? Augier, your number plate is only two digits different from mine."

"You... also bought a number plate?"

Vodka nodded, took out his number plate from his pocket and said, "Actually, there is something very important about coming here this time. Big figures related to the organization also participated in the evening celebration, which is considered a team-building activity. ."

A big shot associated with the organization?It suddenly became interesting.

"What about gin?"

"Big brother is No. [-]. Hehe, I don't know if we can win the prize."

"Vodka, are you interested in longevity?"

Vodka shook his head, and whispered in Ogier's ear: "If I win the lottery, I can give it to Miss Yoko, hehehehe."

"..."

This idol otaku is really hopeless.
