Gold dust in the world of science

The old man was very happy.

"In addition to the mermaid amulet, there is also a mermaid sling clip.

This is the first time I have seen this kind of dugong pie. This island is really closely related to mermaids!"

As she said this, Xiaolan picked up a pendant and looked at Conan on the side.

Conan nodded, "Yeah!"

Not far away, Kazuha walked up to Hattori Heiji and asked curiously, "Hey, what is a dugong?"

Hattori Heiji explained, "Oh, it's commonly known as a mermaid, a mammal that lives in the ocean.

In fact, there were traces of them in southern Japan in the past. Since ancient times, dugong meat has been used as an elixir of immortality."

On the other side, Maori Kogoro was asking the store owner about the matter of Monkyo Saori.

"Dugong Arrow!"

The lady boss nodded, "Yes, it is a talisman for immortality. Four Dugong Arrows are awarded to villagers every year at the annual Dugong Festival.

Saori accidentally lost the arrow she got at last year's festival, so she was very scared a week ago, fearing that the mermaids would come to seek revenge on her."

Mouri Kogoro was speechless, "Oh, where are the mermaids in this world!"

"There are indeed mermaids in the world."

At this time, a female voice suddenly came from behind everyone.

Everyone looked at the short-haired black woman in a black dress and thick black pantyhose at the door with curiosity.

Seeing the person coming, the proprietress suddenly realized: "Oh, it's you, Naoko!"

Just hear Naoko Kuroe continue to say: "Because now there is a real case in the world where people become immortal after eating mermaid meat.

And the dugong arrow made of hair grown by the longevity woman using telekinesis can realize the dream of immortality no matter who gets it.

It is human nature for her to be afraid of mermaid revenge and escape from this island after losing such an important arrow."

After that, Naoko Kuroe left everyone's sight.

Looking at her back, Maori Kogoro asked curiously, "Who is she?"

The proprietress explained, "Naoko is a friend who grew up with Saori."

Maori Kogoro then looked at the proprietress, "Who is the longevity lady she is talking about?"

"It is the protagonist of today's celebration and the symbol of our island, the old lady Shimabukuro!"

Hattori Heiji asked, "So how old is this old lady now?"

The proprietress fell into deep thought, "This... There are actually many people who say she is 100 years old and 200 years old.

If you want to know, I suggest you go to the shrine where the celebration is held on the island to take a look."

"Shrine?"

The proprietress nodded, "Shimabukuro grandmother's great-granddaughter Kimie who grew up with Saori should also be there."

Hearing her words, Hattori Heiji was a little helpless, "Why are we the ball of whistle now!"

Shajin couldn't help but smile, isn't it, from the previous staff to the current proprietress, now the proprietress asked them to find Shimabukuro Kimie, isn't it just passing the buck!

…

American Shrine.

Looking at the group of people in front of her, Shimabukuro Kimie was a little helpless, "How could my great-grandmother be 200 years old!

In fact, my great-grandmother is exactly 130 years old this year. Just check the household registration and you will know immediately!

She just lived a little longer than ordinary people and caused such a big commotion!"

Xiaolan was a little helpless, "Of course!"

Looking at the girl in front of her, Sakin felt a little emotional. One hundred and thirty years old, how can this be a little longer than ordinary people!

But he also knew the story behind this, and sighed. This is also a poor person!

Kazuha next to her noticed his sigh and asked softly: "What's wrong, Sakin classmate, why are you sighing?"

Sakin shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

Looking at Shimabukuro Kimie, Hattori Heiji asked curiously: "Then may I ask, where is your great-grandmother now?"

Shimabukuro Kimie said: "She is in the room! She is praying for the arrows to be sent out for the celebration tonight."

Mouri Kogoro was a little curious, "Let me ask you, did your great-grandmother really eat mermaid meat?"

Hearing his question, Shimabukuro Kimie opened her eyes wide, "Huh?"

Then, perhaps feeling a little funny, she chuckled and said: "It seems that there is no such animal as mermaid in this world! Those are all nonsense!"

Mouri Kogoro was a little embarrassed

She said awkwardly: "Keke... But the dugong arrow is not..."

Shimabukuro Kimie explained: "In fact, the arrow used to represent a cursed arrow with an exorcism spell, but the people on the island associated it with mermaids and changed it to a dugong living in the sea. This is what my mother told me."

Xiaolan was a little surprised, "So your mother has passed away!"

Shimabukuro Kimie nodded, "Yes, she and my father died in the sea five years ago, and even my grandparents died when they were sailing before I was born. "He disappeared."

Kazuha said in surprise: "Your family members all died at sea, there must be a reason for this!"

Shimabukuro Kimie smiled and said: "There is no reason, I also took a boat to the mainland with Saori before, but it didn't matter!"

"What, you took a boat with Saori! When was that?"

Hearing her words, Maori Kogoro and Hattori Heiji were surprised, and even Conan on the side looked at Shimabukuro Kimie with a serious face, waiting for her next answer.

Shimabukuro Kimie said doubtfully: "It was just four days ago. That time I asked her to accompany me to the mainland to see a dentist because there is no dentist on our island now."

Mouri Kogoro asked: "Was Saori emotionally stable at that time?"

Shimabukuro Kimie recalled: "She said that she lost the dugong arrow and was scared to death. She was also afraid that the mermaid would seek revenge on her.

I comforted her that this would never happen, but she just wouldn't listen."

"You are so stupid. You said that because you don't believe in your great-grandmother's power at all."

Everyone turned around and found a woman wearing a purple dress and flesh-colored pantyhose.

"Sumi?"

Ebihara Sumi continued: "She really has magical powers, and she has indeed eaten mermaid meat before.

You also know that the body of a mermaid appeared three years ago, right?"

"Ah?"

Hearing her words, everyone present was a little surprised, even Conan, who never believed in mermaids, looked at Sumi Ebihara in front of him with a surprised face.

"Has the body of a mermaid appeared here?"

Xiao Lan thought, "Are you talking about the one that was broadcast on TV three years ago?"

Shimabukuro Kimie smiled and said, "In fact, that was just an exaggeration on the TV program!"

Ebihara Sumi sneered, "You are lying with your eyes open. You obviously saw that the mermaid's bones were broken. It was too weird!"

At this time, a man walked behind her and pressed her shoulders, "Sumi, stop talking?"

Ebihara Sumi looked at the visitor with some doubts, "Rokuro?"

Fukuyama Rokuro said, "Many things are not convenient to say in front of outsiders."

As he said that, he looked at Maori Kogoro and others, "If you are here to find Saori, you should go to Saori's house to find out the situation.

But the prerequisite is that her drunkard father must welcome you first."

After that, he turned and left here.

Looking at his back, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but complain: "No one is worried about her safety!"

Shimabukuro Kimie explained: "This is because Saori used to quarrel with her father and run away from home."

Looking at the girl in front of him, Maori Kogoro said: "Can you take us to Saori's house?"

The girl smiled and said: "Of course, I will be free after the celebration."

Xiaolan asked curiously: "What do you do in the celebration?"

Shimabukuro Kimie said: "We will sell the number cards to the guests in advance. As long as the number is the same as my great-grandmother's, you can get the Dugong Arrow.

Oh, it's a bit like a lottery contest!"

At this point, she seemed to remember something, took out two number cards from her body, and said with a smile: "By the way, do you two want to try your luck?

This morning, an old couple just returned the number cards, and I still have two here."

Xiaolan and Kazuha looked at each other.

"Okay then!"

The two walked forward and drew a number card respectively.

Seeing this, Shimabukuro Kimie smiled and said, "Actually, whether you win or not depends on luck. Maybe this time you two can live forever and stay young like everyone says!"
