I'm in Conan, and I'm the mastermind behind the scenes.

On Mermaid Island, the ghost ship has long gone, but the islanders are still discussing the matter enthusiastically.

Among them, the mermaid with the charming singing voice on the ship was mentioned the most times.

Everyone said that this was the mermaid coming back to take revenge on the longevity woman who ate the mermaid’s flesh many years ago.

"Who is the longevity lady they are talking about?!"

Maori Kogoro and his party, who had already landed on the island, looked at each other after hearing the islanders' comments.

"I know I know. Yuanzi immediately raised his hand and said:"There has been such a legend on Mermaid Island."

"It is said that more than a hundred years ago, a beautiful girl met a dying mermaid while fishing on the beach."

"The girl took her home and took good care of her, but in the end the mermaid died.~"

"So, the girl buried the mermaid's body at the seaside. She couldn't resist the temptation and secretly ate a piece of the mermaid's flesh. She is still alive until now."

"Still alive now?!"

Hearing this, Maori Kogoro's eyes widened,"Then isn't she over a hundred years old?"

"One hundred and thirty years old, to be precise. Hattori

Heiji and Toyama walked over peacefully,"So far, this longevity woman still comes out every year to hold the Dugong Festival.""

"It is said that those who can get dugong arrows at the festival will be blessed by the longevity goddess and become healthy and live longer."

"Nani?!"

Hearing that the other party could live to be one hundred and thirty years old, Suzuki Jirokichi, who is seventy-two years old and in good health like a young man, couldn't help but show an expression of wonder.

"In fact, there are many examples of people who can live forever after eating mermaid meat."

Hattori Heiji continues to popularize science

"In ancient Japan, Wakasa Province, which is now Fukui Prefecture on Honshu Island, it is said that a woman lived for 800 years after eating mermaid meat."

"So, people made her eight hundred bhikkhunis"

"I have also heard of this legend."

Suzuki Jirokichi's interest has been completely aroused. He waved his hand and said:"Then before we set off, we first go to the shrine on the island to visit this longevity woman."

"Great."

Yuanzi hugged Xiaolan's hand excitedly.

At the same time, other detectives also started to take action.

For example, Detective Baima.

He invited a friend he met in the UK to come and was picking up people at the dock at this time.

But there was no one. I thought about it.

Before anyone came to the rescue, I watched a fight.

Several explorers from the Philippines had a conflict with a young man wearing sunglasses.

Judging from their body shape, the Filipinos had dark skin and a tall figure. Although he is not tall, he is extremely capable and has a fierce look in his eyes. He seems to have practiced the traditional Filipino martial art Kali.

This is a fighting technique that combines dagger and cut fist. It is very fierce. It is the Filipino indigenous people's war against the colonizers. Among them, the fighting skills summarized.

The White Horse Detective once saw it on a murderer who used black boxing. At this time, several Filipinos who came to Mermaid Island to explore were obviously more proficient in this fighting technique.

One of them suddenly pulled out The short sword struck at the young man in sunglasses opposite.

"Do you want to be so fierce?"

The young man in sunglasses backed away with a smile. A coin flew from the fingertips of his right hand and suddenly ejected.

"ah!!"

The coin just hit the opponent's eye. The Filipino screamed and fell to the ground, while several other people gathered around him at the same time.

However, he was easily solved by the young man in sunglasses as if it was a joke. The group of people lay on the ground and wailed, without any resistance. force

"So, please don’t be so angry."

The young man in sunglasses shrugged and left with a group of people who clearly looked like mercenaries.

The friend Hakuba was going to pick up also arrived at this time.

Kyogoku Shin, who had dark skin and was wearing a karate uniform, got off the boat and took a look The young man in sunglasses left in the direction with a bit of fighting spirit in his eyes:"He is very strong and is an opponent worthy of my challenge." (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Then you have many opponents to challenge."

Tan Hakuba shrugged and motioned for Kyogoku to really look around.

The secret of immortality this time attracted too many people. If it weren't for the Metropolitan Police Department sending more people to the island.

These grumpy people from all over the world Explorers, or simply criminals or mercenaries, have long been fighting

"Why let these people in?"[]

Kyogoku Shinya also noticed something was wrong.

Even if the Japanese government has no ability to stop it, what about the United States? Can they watch their treasures being snatched away by people from other countries?

"Because this sea area contains deadly dangers."

Detective Hakuba signaled Kyogoku to follow him.

As he walked, he explained in a low voice:"In the nearby sea area, the US military's radar discovered the huge sea beast that once destroyed the Seventh Fleet."

"Therefore, if the sea area is blocked, they may face huge losses again"

"This is something the U.S. military cannot afford"

"......"

After hearing this, Kyogoku frowned slightly:"If that's the case, Hakuba, I may not be able to help you with this."

"I hate this kind of calculating behavior"

"I dont like it either."

Baima Tan shrugged:"So I plan to find out the ghost lantern city and leave here."

"Do you have any clues?"

Kyogoku's expression softened.

"Originally there was no such thing, but after the ghost ship appeared, there was."

Detective Hakuba took Kyogoku to the temporary police station on the island and took out the information he had just investigated.

"These are the three women who were taken aboard the ghost ship, Kadowaki Saori, Kuroe Naoko and Ebihara Hisumi"

"They have one thing in common, that is, they are good friends with each other, and they grew up together with Shimabukuro Kimie, a shrine maiden."

"besides"

"I asked someone to check their house and found a dugong arrow under the bed in Kadowaki Saori's bedroom."

"This is a tradition on the island. It is said that as long as you get the dugong arrow granted by the longevity woman, you will receive blessings and become healthy and live longer."

"And the interesting thing is"

"In the last festival, the recipient of the Dugong Arrow was not Saori Kadowaki."

"That night, a fire broke out at the Shinto Shrine, and Shimabukuro Kimie's mother was burned to death......."

Baima Tan's analysis is logically clear.

After Kyogoku heard this, he immediately understood

"The three of them were most likely the murderers who caused the fire."

"So, today's ghost ship incident took away three of them at the same time. This is the revenge of the shrine witch Shimabukuro Kimie."

"That's right."

Baima Tan raised his hand and snapped his fingers,"The mermaid girl with special abilities may be the key to unlocking the secret of Ghost Lantern City.".....factory..
