Science solves cases? No, I am an immortal cultivator!

"Because I was here once last year."

Kitagawa Taki did not hide it either.

"You also came to this island to participate in the Dugong Festival last year?" Hattori Heiji was a little surprised. Is this Dugong Festival so attractive?

Kitagawa Taki nodded: "Yes."

The clerk said, "Then you can ask this gentleman to take you to the shrine. The shrine maiden Kimie there is also Saori's childhood friend."

Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes. Were they like balls, being kicked around?

……

American Shrine.

As soon as he entered the shrine, Kitagawa Taki saw Shimabukuro Kimie, who was wearing a red and white shrine maiden costume and sweeping the floor.

"Ms. Jun Hui!"

Shimabukuro Kimie raised her head and smiled brightly, "Mr. Kitagawa! Long time no see."

Who would have thought that such a weak-looking witch was the murderer?

Haibara Ai glanced at Kitagawa Taki. This guy really knows beautiful women wherever he goes.

"This is Miss Shimabukuro Kimie, the shrine maiden." Kitagawa Taki first introduced Shimabukuro Kimie.

Shimabukuro Kimie bowed slightly, then said, "Hello!"

Then Kitagawa Taki emphasized the introduction of Hattori Heiji: "This is the famous detective Hattori Heiji from Osaka."

Shimabukuro Kimie couldn't help but look at Hattori Heiji again.

Hattori Heiji was very satisfied with the title of Osaka Detective and said with a smile: "Ms. Kimie, we are here to ask about Monkyo Saori."

"Saori? What happened to her?" Shimabukuro Kimie didn't show any sign of abnormality on the surface.

Hattori Heiji didn't mention the letter of commission, but instead said: "Something happened. Can you tell me when you last saw her?"

Shimabukuro Kimie pinched her chin and recalled, "About four days ago, I asked her to accompany me to see a dentist on the mainland because we don't have one on our island."

"Four days ago..." Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at each other, then asked: "What did Menxie Saori look like at that time?"

Shimabukuro Kimie said: "She was terrified because she had lost her dugong arrow. I told her that this would never happen, but she wouldn't listen."

Conan asked, "Sister Jun Hui, have you not seen her these days?"

Shimabukuro Kimie shook her head: "No, I've been busy with the festival at the shrine these days."

At this time, a voice came from behind them: "Jun Hui, it seems that you still don't understand the power that your great-grandmother possesses! She really has magical powers, and she really has eaten mermaid flesh."

The woman glanced at everyone and continued, "After all, the body of a mermaid was found on the island three years ago."

"The body of a mermaid has appeared?" Hattori Heiji was shocked and asked quickly, "Is it true?"

"Of course it's true. The broken bones of that corpse are so weird!" The woman became more and more excited as she spoke, as if she was extremely superstitious about mermaids.

"Sumei, stop talking!" A hand was placed on the woman's shoulder.

He was a dark-skinned man who was as good as Hattori Heiji.

The man continued, "There are many things that are inconvenient to say in front of outsiders. Stop talking."

"If you want to find Saori, you should go to her house. As long as her drunk father welcomes you."

After saying that, the man walked away with the woman named Shoumei.

Kitagawa Taki teased: "Hattori, you are finally not the darkest one."

Hattori Heiji's mouth twitched as he argued, "I'm a healthy tan, not black, okay?"

Conan also had a smile on his face that was hard to hide. He then looked at the two people who left and asked Shimabukuro Kimie, "Sister Kimie, who are they?"

"They are friends of Saori and I."

The girl's name is Ebina Sumi and the boy's name is Fukuyama Rokuro.

"They're all friends?" Hattori Heiji complained, "Then why don't you seem worried about Saori at all?"

Shimabukuro Kimie explained: "Because Saori often quarrels with her father and then runs away from home, she would be gone for many days, so everyone is used to it."

Then, he asked, "Saori, is something wrong with her?"

Only then did Hattori Heiji tell the truth.

After hearing this, Shimabukuro Kimie sighed, "Why doesn't Saori believe me?"

Conan and the others all looked a little strange. How come the shrine maidens here weren't superstitious at all? On the contrary, the ordinary residents were more superstitious than the others.

"Sister Junhui, can you take us to Saori's house?"

Shimabukuro Kimie leaned over and said, "Of course you can, but we have to wait until the celebration is over."

Yuanshan Heye, who had been silent the whole time, asked, "What do you usually do during festivals?"

She was quite curious about what was so attractive about the Dugong Festival that made the bad guy Beichuan Taki return to the old place?

Is it for the beauty?

Thinking of this, Toyama Kazuha couldn't help but look at Shimabukuro Kimie again.

He has delicate features, a handsome appearance, and always has a faint smile on his face.

Shimabukuro Kimie said, "We will sell number plates to the guests in advance, and then my great-grandmother will announce the number. Those who match the number will get the Dugong Arrow."

"By the way, I have two more number plates here. They were returned to me by an elderly couple. Would you like to try them?" As she said that, she took out two wooden number plates from her sleeves.

The numbers on it are forty-seven and eighteen.

Toyama and Ye took forty-seven.

"Then I'll take this one." Kitagawa Taki took eighteen.

Shimabukuro Kimie smiled and said, "Don't forget to come to the shrine to attend the celebration tonight. I'm going to be busy now."

……

Huiyuan Ai pulled Beichuan Taki aside and asked: "Why did you also get a number plate? Could it be that the dugong arrow really works?"

Last year, she didn't figure out anything about the one that Vodka took away.

They also took away part of the mermaid corpse that Sumi Ebina mentioned three years ago.

But after her examination, it turned out to be just human bones.

Beichuan Taki said: "It has the effect of attracting good fortune and avoiding disaster. I just took it for fun."

Huiyuan Ai narrowed her eyes and asked, "Isn't that miko an ordinary person?"

Beichuan Taki nodded: "A little bit of magic power."

"So you came here specifically for her this time." Haibara Ai said with a cold face.

Kitagawa Taki never told her why he came to this island.

"This is where we first met." Kitagawa Taki smiled and touched Haibara Ai's head.

Haibara Ai slapped Kitagawa Taki's hand away and snorted coldly.

In fact, after going through so much, she has been able to accept the fact that Kitagawa Taki has many women.

But she felt that she could not be too indulgent to Kitagawa Taki like her sister.

"Let's go, let's go for a walk on the island." Kitagawa Taki took Haibara Ai's hand.

The celebrations on this island are quite good, otherwise it wouldn’t attract tourists every year.

But after this time, I’m afraid there will be no more dugong celebrations.
