"It is necessary for us to go to that American island."

Lin Xinyi reasoned with a serious face:

"I'm afraid the girl who wrote the letter asking for help is in danger."

"..." There was another silence.

"Master Lin...no, Manager Lin."

The Mumu Police Department, who had just been scolded by Lin Xinyi ruthlessly, couldn't help but feel aggrieved at this moment:

"Your reasoning..."

"Is it scientific?"

Chapter 495 The Secret of Mermaid Island

Lin Xinyi was speechless.

But even if he didn't explain it, the Mumu Police Department knew how this reasoning came about:

Isn't it because of Xiaolan?

No wonder Master Lin wanted to accept her as his apprentice... It turned out that he wanted to use his own skills to suppress the evil spirit of this doomed girl and try his best to save the common people!

hiss…

With Master Lin by his side to suppress luck, Xiao Lan would "crack" someone to death every now and then.

If Master Lin wasn't around, wouldn't the city of Tokyo be bleeding like a river?

Thinking of this, the Mumu Police Department secretly glanced at the old friend's daughter a little nervously.

Mao Lilan returned him a silly smile, smiling like an angel.

But that didn't work either...

Angels, aren't they just for sending people to heaven?

Mumu police department turned his head away in embarrassment, his expression became even more fearful.

The corner of Lin Xinyi's mouth twitched, trying to explain to Mao Lilan, but he couldn't speak.

Just like that, amidst the silent communication and eye contact of several people...

The atmosphere became tense again.

As soon as this feudal superstition was loosened, Deputy Director Zhu Xing hesitated to ask the "Master" for advice:

"Lin... Manager Lin."

"Since you have confirmed everything, this Miss Kadowaki Saori who sent the entrustment letter may have a 'blood disaster'."

"Then the mermaid mentioned in her entrustment letter..."

"It doesn't exist!" Lin Xinyi's face darkened:

You are a professionally trained policeman anyway, why do you still remember the mermaid?

Don't even think about it, how could there be such a thing in the world!

"No..." Zhifu Zhuxing was still a little concerned: "But..."

"But the address written in the letter by Miss Saori Kadowaki is Wakasa Bay, Fukui Prefecture."

"This is the origin of the mermaid legend."

The legend of "Eight Hundred Bhikkhunis" has been circulating in Japan since ancient times.

Legend has it that this "Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni" was once an ordinary fisherman girl who lived to be eight hundred years old because of eating mermaid meat.

And her hometown is in the ancient Wakasa country, today's Fukui county.

That is the address written on Kadowaki Saori's entrustment letter.

This is the place where the legend of the mermaid originated, and the entrustment letter sent from here said "I will be killed by the mermaid", such imaginative words.

more importantly…

"In the mermaid shrine on this American island, there is still a long-lived mother-in-law who has lived for 130 years."

"It is said that she is still alive and healthy because she, like the legendary Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni, obtained the power contained in the mermaid flesh."

The long-lived mother-in-law on the American island who was still alive and kicking at the age of 130 undoubtedly greatly added to the credibility of the mermaid legend.

So much so that even a big man in Tokyo like the deputy director of Zhuxing faintly believed it.

But Lin Xinyi could hear the corners of his mouth twitching:

"130 years old? Is it true or not?"

The theoretical limit of human life span is 120 years.

The longest-lived person recognized by humans with sufficient evidence is a French woman who lived to be 122 years old.

It is not impossible to say that someone can live beyond the limit to 130 years old.

It's just... the possibility is too small.

Lin Xinyi was dubious about this.

However, Deputy Director Zhu Xing seems to be very sure:

"it is true."

"This long-lived mother-in-law is very famous in the upper circles of Tokyo."

"When the mermaid festival is held on the American island every year, there will be many people with a lot of background, and they will go to the American island to visit the long-lived mother-in-law."

"Actually..." Deputy Director Zhu Xing paused slightly, and said pointedly:

"Many guests you met at the venue today."

"They are also guests of that long-lived mother-in-law."

"This..." Lin Xin recalled:

It's no wonder that Deputy Director Morohoshi, a native of Tokyo, is so familiar with the situation on the American Island in Fukui Prefecture.

No wonder he cared so much about the word "mermaid".

It turned out that he believed in this stuff.

Moreover, he had been to the American island and visited the longevity woman with a group of Brahmins who were also superstitious.

This is really...

Poor Ye Banxu's front seat does not ask the common people or ghosts.

A group of state dignitaries and heads of consortiums put their business aside and went to believe in masters and seek longevity. Have their brains been kicked by donkeys?

Lin Xin subconsciously sighed in his heart.

But think about it carefully...

This situation is quite normal.

The 20s and 8s were originally an era when demons danced wildly.

At the same time when qigong masters and supernatural powers were popular in China.

There is also a trend of superstition advocating "supernatural energy" in Japanese society.

This craze swept across the whole society. For a while, every family practiced and everyone talked about "cultivating immortals".

Not only the "ignorant" ordinary people believe it, but even the "smart" social elites follow suit.

Aum Shinrikyo, which launched a terrorist attack in Tokyo in 95, developed against this background.

In this context of the times, and considering that the feudal remnants in this country have not been cleaned up, it is indeed understandable that the upper class in Japan like to pray to gods and worship Buddha, and engage in feudal superstition.

After all, these Brahmins had reached their peak of wealth and power in the dunya.

There is no room for improvement materially, so don't you have to work hard in the field of metaphysics?

Who among them doesn't want to "borrow another 500 years from the sky", who doesn't want to be like Qin Shihuang, who is more than 2000 years old and still has the strength to send text messages to get money?

"I understand."

Lin Xinyi understood Zhu Xing's obsession with the mermaid legend.

But he still firmly denied:

"There are no mermaids in this world."

"As for the 130-year-old long-lived mother-in-law..."

Playing tricks, making friends with powerful people, and then mixing among them to be a profit broker... This is a common business model for masters.

That legendary long-lived mother-in-law is probably also such a liar, right?

Those who really believe in this stuff are mostly fools.

Lin Xinyi actually wanted to say that directly.

But out of the most basic workplace emotional intelligence, he still politely said in front of the leader:

"Maybe that mother-in-law, she is purely healthy!"

"Is that so..." Deputy Director Zhu Xing sighed deeply:

Even masters say that mermaids are unscientific.

It seems that there are really no mermaids in the world.

"but…"

"Speaking of that American island, there is another rather weird thing."

Zhu Xing's deputy director finally recovered a little bit of his usual majesty.

He didn't talk about ghosts anymore, but solemnly told Lin Xinyi who was planning to go to American Island to investigate:

"This incident may be of some help to your investigation:"
