"It's you, Naoko." The clerk looked at the mushroom head at the door and sighed helplessly.

"You just said that there are indeed people in this world who have eaten mermaid meat and become immortal?" Yuji took the cat bag from Conan and carried it on his back.

"No matter whoever falls into the hands of the dugong arrow made from the hair grown by the longevity woman using her mind power, the dream of immortality can come true."

The mushroom head folded his arms, seeming to be a little disdainful of Menxie Shazhi: "Shazhi lost such an important thing, and it is only natural for her to be afraid of the mermaid's revenge and escape from the island."

"Eh... there are people who believe such an outrageous story." Yuji and Akiko looked at each other: "The only person who would believe such a legend is Obasan, who has wrinkles on his face."

Someone was staring at me just now!

Suddenly there seemed to be a gust of cold wind passing over the boy's body. He kept turning around to find the peeper, but failed. Instead, he was punched by Mouri Kogoro.

"It hurts! Uncle, why did you hit me?"

"Don't do these weird actions outside, and don't laugh at other people's customs!"

Mouri Kogoro buttoned up his coat, and when he saw Conan's half-smiling expression, he also punched him.

"Who was the longevity lady that Miss Naoko was talking about just now?" Hattori Heiji leaned on the counter, ignoring Kazuha who was measuring the size of his fingers.

"Mrs. Shimabukuro is the symbol of our island and the protagonist of every celebration."

"How old is that old lady now?"

Conan was not as high as the counter, and from the clerk's perspective he could only see a dull hair, but he still answered the child's question.

"There are people who are one hundred and two hundred years old. I suggest you go to the shrine. The Shimabukuro family is there. Their girl Junhui also grew up with Saori."

………

“American shrine?!”

Yuji looked at the sign next to Shinto and complained speechlessly: "This name is so weird that it looks like a British Buddhist temple or a Korean pyramid."

But the miko lady is quite pretty...

Yuji looked at Shimabukuro Kimie who was communicating with Ran and the others, and began to wander around the shrine.

Is there such a big warehouse here?

Yuji discovered the warehouse behind the shrine, put the cat bag on his chest and looked into the window.

There's a woman inside!

I remember that Hattori retrieved the household registration information of Tosuke Saori at the police station. The photo above was exactly the same as the woman lying in the warehouse.

Yuji looked around, then opened the sliding door of the warehouse and walked in. He put his hands on the tied neck of Kadokyo Saori. After finding that she had just fainted, he tied the woman's anklet with the rope from the warehouse. Pull away.

Ah, there are a lot of rocks here, so be careful.

The boy seemed to be playing an avoidance-type mobile game. Despite his superb skills, Menxie Saori's head inevitably hit rocks several times and bled a little.

"So, where should we put her now?"

Yuji hesitated and looked at the dense trees around the shrine. He simply returned to the warehouse and took out a piece of water-proof cloth to wrap around the fabric of Menkyo's yarn. Then he stuffed her mouth with a handkerchief and a wooden stick and tied the rope around the woman's waist. After a while, he hung on the tree.

"Okay!" The young man patted the dust on his hands: "At most, it will only be suspected of being a corpse, which is normal."

It's fine during the day, but it's windy here at night, and combined with the gloomy woods, it probably looks quite scary.

"Yuji, you're back!" Xiaolan, Heye and Akiko showed the number plates in their hands to Yuji.

"It is said that lots will be drawn at night based on this sign, and the winner will get a Dugong Arrow!"

"It's pretty good. You guys are done playing." Yuji walked to Xiao Ai and squatted down. Looking at the somewhat bored girl, he put Shinpachi's dog leash in Xiao Ai's hand.

"If you find it boring, just play with Shinpachi. He is much more lovable than Conan."

The boy gently tickled the puppy's head. After a while, Shinpachi's face began to smile, looking very cute.

"A woman just said that a mermaid was burned to death in a warehouse here three years ago."

Conan walked to his younger brother with doubts on his face. When he saw that Yuji was not paying attention to him, he kicked the boy in the leg with dissatisfaction: "Are you listening to me?"

"Listen, listen, you said a mermaid died in the warehouse." Yuji punched Conan speechlessly: "You really think there are mermaids in this world!"

"I've become a child again. Isn't a mermaid too outrageous? There might even be a sword-wielding boy who fights ghosts, or a red-haired witch who casts magic!"

Yuji, who was surprised by Conan's statement, covered his mouth and thought for a moment before giving his opinion.

"Maybe all these people you mentioned exist!" Yuji nodded: "And the voice actor of their protagonist may be the same as you."

"I'm not talking about animation!"

………

As night gradually fell, two huge bonfires were placed at the entrance of the American Shrine. After walking through the simple torii gate and entering the shrine, Xiaolan and others stayed away from Yuji.

"What are you dressing up like?"

Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at Yuji who was wearing a black hood and a parka over there, feeling very embarrassed.

"This is the work uniform of the Heretic Inquisition and the FFF group. It is set up as a special organization to judge members' abnormal heterosexual relationships."

Yuji touched the huge plastic folding sickle in his hand and pointed it at the detective duo opposite: "As the leader, I specially approve you to become my members."

"No, no, no, we don't want to become members of some strange organization!"

Waving his hand, more and more people came to the shrine, and everyone found a good seat to wait for the appearance of the longevity woman.

As the sliding door of the shrine opened, a woman with silver hair appeared inside. She bent over and turned her head to look at everyone. Her face was a little smooth, but there were still many wrinkles.

"It's too far away. Although I know it's an old lady, I can't see it clearly." Yuji felt a little bored, so he lay on Conan's head, hooked his brother's neck with the sickle, and secretly blew a breath in his ear.

"You are dead..."

"Don't play tricks in this place. Wait for the number to come out, and we will go to dinner."

The longevity woman burned three numbers on the paper door with a fire stick, and Heye happily rushed to Hattori and showed him the wooden sign in her hand.

"Heiji, look, my number is right!"

"Really, you're really lucky!"

Akiko walked to Yuji's side in frustration, and sighed at the sign that didn't win.

"I didn't win..."

"What does it matter?" Yuji handed the cat bag to Akiko from under his clothes: "Akiko, aren't you young now? Cheer up!"

Through the pointed hood, Akiko seemed to see the boy's indifferent expression.

"Besides, Xiaolan didn't win. This arrow may not be a good thing."

Akiko turned around and saw Xiaolan, who was as sad as her, and nodded in agreement.

Indeed, she had never seen anyone luckier than Xiaolan!
