Chapter 143 Shimabukuro Junhui

Chapter 143

"Dugong celebration?" Girls, as soon as they heard words like celebration, they immediately showed their curiosity. Just look at Xiaolan and Heye at this time. They don't even know what a dugong is, but

Still expressed strong interest in the dugong celebration.

During the subsequent stroll, the characteristics of this island really opened everyone's eyes.

Mermaid keychains, mermaid-themed porcelain bowls, cups, dugong pillows, and all kinds of things related to mermaids and dugongs, and it seems that the tourists who come here are not stingy at all with their wallets, and they are generous in giving.

appearance.

"Hey, Heiji, what exactly is a dugong?" Kazuye still didn't understand what was going on with the dugong, so he couldn't help but ask.

Heiji looked impatient, and it was written all over his dark face that you don't even know this, you are really a stupid woman.

But as soon as Heiji's taunting words came to his lips, he felt a murderous aura that sent chills down his back.

Looking for the source of murderous intent, Heiji saw Xiao Yu staring at him, and then immediately changed his mind and explained.

"Dugong is a mammal that lives in the sea, also commonly known as a mermaid. Because of its habit of holding its young to nurse, it was mistaken for a mermaid by ancient people."

"The number of dugongs now is very rare and is on the verge of extinction. Because humans have been hunting dugongs since ancient times, and coupled with the changes of the times, this species is already an extremely endangered species. But like the dugongs on this island

Worship, this is the first time I’ve heard of it.”

Conan saw Xiao Yu shaking his head and sighing, so he couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Yu smiled: "Look at this island, did you analyze anything?"

Conan shook his head. Reasonably, he saw that there was nothing special about this island except that it was shrouded in the legend of mermaids.

However, Jin Yu pointed out a peculiarity of this island.

"I just checked and found that the island has less than 3,000 residents, but the entire island has a population of 100,000 or more all year round. There is almost no light and heavy industry on the entire island, and farmers are reclaiming the land.

, which is only enough for a small number of local people. In other words, the economic backbone of the entire island relies almost entirely on tourism."

"But to be honest, what is there about this island that is worth visiting? It has green mountains and green waters, and it also has unique recreational facilities. There are not many decent resorts. This means that the tourists who are attracted basically rely on the legend of the mermaid.

Supporting."

"It doesn't matter whether mermaids exist, but people on this island absolutely insist verbally that mermaids exist, and even the absurd thing that you can live forever by eating mermaid meat is true. Otherwise, the entire island's economy will collapse in an instant.

"

Conan stared at Xiao Yu dumbfounded, not thinking about it at all, but then, as if to confirm Xiao Yu's words, Conan and the others learned something else.

At the annual Dugong Festival, the shrine maiden of the Dugong Shrine will send out three dugong arrows. Legend has it that these were made by the old Shimabukuro woman on the island who gained immortality by eating mermaid meat, using her own hair.

Anyone who can obtain the Dugong Arrow can also share the magic power of the mermaid meat and gain immortality.

This is indeed a very good gimmick. With such a gimmick, it can indeed attract some ignorant people to help the legend of Mermaid Island.

And Xiao Yu even noticed that when the locals talked about the legend of mermaids, although they spoke respectfully, their actual tone did not mean any respect for mermaids at all.

As if that is their money-making tool.

Everyone also learned that Kadowaki Saori was one of the people who received the dugong arrow at last year's celebration, but she lost the dugong arrow a week ago, which made her nervous.

She felt anxious, as if the mermaid would come to seek revenge on her at any time.

Heiji and Conan keenly noticed one thing, that is, Kadowaki Saori said in the letter, come and save the mermaid, he is about to be killed, but if Kadowaki Saori is scared because he lost the dugong arrow, in

When asking the detective for help, shouldn't it be "Come save me, I'm about to be killed by a mermaid"?

These are completely different sentences, expressing completely different meanings. It is the difference between these words that makes things more complicated.

Of course, Xiao Yu also noticed this, but at this time, he became a little less interested. He originally thought that by following Conan and the others to investigate, they would be able to find something of interest to him, but Xiao Yu's patience has never been very long.

They were some random things that really didn't interest him.

Therefore, during the rest of the trip, Xiao Lan, who was holding Xiaolan's hand, almost fell asleep.

It wasn't until he met the beautiful shrine maiden, Kimi Shimabukuro, that Xiao Yu finally cheered up a little bit.

To be honest, Xiao Yu has seen a lot of beauties. Whether it's the girls around him, Xiaolan, Heye, Mingmei or Haiyuan, they are all great beauties, and there is also the incomparably beautiful Belmod.

The peerless beauty made Xiao Yu develop resistance to the word beauty early on.

But Shimabukuro Kimi really made Xiao Yu feel amazing again.

The beauty of this young lady seems to be mixed with a very clean temperament, which makes Xiao Yu feel very comfortable...

It would be even more perfect if she didn't have the smell of blood on her body.

Everyone came to the shrine to get to know Granny Shimabukuro, and it was here that they met Shimabukuro Kimie.

"No, how could my mother-in-law be 290 years old? In fact, her mother-in-law is only 130 years old. If you don't believe me, you can check her mother-in-law's household registration records." Shimabukuro Kimie saw Conan and others coming to ask about her great-grandmother's age.

, couldn’t help but smile helplessly.

However, looking at her understatement, Conan and Heiji both had expressions on their faces.

"It's scary to be 130 years old, okay, little sister!"

Only Xiao Yu was hiding behind everyone, looking at Shimabukuro Kime with a solemn expression.

The smell of blood on her body can be hidden from others, but it is impossible to hide it from Xiao Yu, because although the smell of blood is very light, even hidden under the fragrant shower gel smell, it is impossible to escape Xiao Yu's extraordinary smell.

sense of smell.

Many people think that blood stains on the body can be easily washed away, but in fact it is the same as the reaction of luminol when the blood is left somewhere. After the blood sticks to the body, the traces of blood are indeed easy to remove, but the blood stains are easy to remove.

The flavor will stay for a long time.

Of course, for ordinary police officers and detectives, this kind of evidence cannot be used to handle the case because it is impossible to identify it. Modern science has not pointed out such a case. The reason why Xiao Yu knew it was because he used his own

The superhuman sense of smell discovered it on his own.

Shimabukuro Kimie must have come into contact with corpses in the past few days.

In addition, Shimabukuro Kimie and Kadowaki Saori were good friends who grew up together. Xiao Yu was basically certain that Kadowaki Saori had been killed, and the murderer was Shimabukuro Kimie.
