People in Detective Conan are going crazy over the comments section.

"This house is really old."

After that, everyone followed Kimie Shimabukuro to the house of the old woman who was about to die.

“Indeed, you wouldn’t guess they made a lot of money from dugong arrows,” Hattori Heiji remarked.

But Kazuha retorted, "What are you talking about? Those number plates only cost five dollars each."

"Huh? Five dollars?" This news surprised Hattori.

Five yuan is practically free.

That's true; at Xiao Rizi, five yuan is practically free.

No wonder the place they live in is so small.

“Yes, and the island’s residents say it’s always been like this,” Kazuha said while sipping her tea.

"It's said that they put 180 numbered tickets in a big box, and the guests draw them one by one after lining up. Finally, the longevity granny will select three numbered tickets from the box," Xiaolan added.

"Speaking of which, why did that old woman take so long?" Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but complain because he had been waiting for too long.

"Actually, Junhui just said she would try to call her great-grandmother, but she must be tired from today's celebration and may not be able to see us..."

Just as Xiaolan finished speaking, a strange sound came from the doorway of the room.

"Strange, what is that sound?"

Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open.

Immediately afterwards, an old woman with an unusually strange appearance and short stature appeared outside the door!

!!!

"So it's you guys who need something from me?" Before Xiaolan and her group could even process what was happening, the old woman standing at the door spoke up.

I have to say, after removing her makeup, she really does look like an old monster.

However, Conan could only say these words to himself.

Even though he had prepared himself mentally, Asakawa Yuya was still taken aback, let alone Conan and the others.

"Hello, ma'am, we've come here to ask you how the numbers for those Dugong Arrows you drew were determined."

After making some adjustments, Asakawa Yu asked the questions that everyone wanted to ask on their behalf.

"Well... speaking of methods..." the old woman paused for a moment.

"The method is..." Everyone leaned closer.

"Actually, it's very casual. Sometimes I even use the numbers I draw when choosing horses, hahaha." As she spoke, even the old lady herself laughed.

Boom!

Everyone who heard this was stunned.

Are you kidding me? Although they knew it was a bit outrageous, Asakawa Yu and the others were still shocked by this casual method.

"In that case, you don't have to sell only three a year. You can sell more Dugong Arrows. Wouldn't that make everyone happy?"

Hattori thought it was outrageous. If they were so casual about it, why not just sell more?

But then the old woman explained the reason to everyone, "That's impossible, I have very little hair left to tie those arrows with."

"Great-grandmother, I've prepared your bathwater." A voice came from afar.

The old woman turned to face the source of the voice, then said to the crowd, "If you don't have anything important to do, I'm going to take a bath and go to bed."

"But we haven't finished talking yet..." Conan became anxious when he heard that the old woman was about to leave.

"And that little girl over there."

Hearing the old woman say that, all three of them, including Miyano Akemi, turned around.

"I was talking about the one who ties up the hair." Only after hearing the old woman say that did they realize that she was referring to Kazuha.

"Me?" Kazuha pointed to herself.

"The Dugong Arrow was originally a precious arrow used to exorcise demons and ward off evil spirits. Once you let go of it, demons will build their nests on your body. If you are a man, you will be buried in the ground and become a heartless hungry ghost. If you are a woman, you will enter the water and become a mermaid who cannot speak. So I advise you to keep it with you at all times."

After saying that, the old woman left with her cane, and the crowd watched her back with thoughtful expressions.

"This old woman has a hoarse voice and looks terrible. I don't think she'll live much longer."

[Haha, Black Chicken, always eloquent since childhood]

[Heiji Zuan]

So, Xiaolan is actually incredibly lucky, because that arrow was originally defective?

---------------------------------

The next day, at the Ebihara family home, a vigil was being held for Miss Sumi.

The group arrived at Miss Shoumei's house to attend the funeral, hoping to glean some useful information.

"By the way, Kazuha, did you bring the Dugong Arrow with you?" Ran asked quietly beside Kazuha.

"Yes, I brought it. I've been carrying it with me since last night."

While everyone else was signing autographs, Asakawa Yu stood quietly to the side, his expression still calm, but the observant Miyano Akemi noticed that he was thinking about something else.

"Boss, what are you thinking about? You seem a little off." So Miyano Akemi went over and asked.

"Hmm? Why do you think I'm thinking about something else? I think I'm pretty good at managing my facial expressions."

"Well... it feels like..."

When Asakawa Yu heard that he only realized he was thinking about something else because of his feelings, he could only smile helplessly.

He then said, "Indeed, I was thinking about something else just now. Do you want to know?"

"Is it something involving very important information?" If Asakawa Yu said yes, then Miyano Akemi would immediately stop asking questions.

"No, it's just some gossip I heard from your sister."

"Where did Ai hear that from?"

Hearing her younger sister's name, Miyano Akemi was somewhat surprised, because she really couldn't imagine what news her sister could possibly have to tell Asakawa Yu...

By the way, if there's only one connection between my younger sister and Asakawa Yu, it would be that, without a doubt.

"Boss, what you're talking about, could it be that organization..." Miyano Akemi moved closer to Asakawa Yu and whispered in his ear.

"Not bad, indeed, it's about the organization."

"Before we set off, I went to the doctor's house and told your sister about our trip to this island. But I didn't expect her expression to be a little strange after hearing it. When I asked her, I found out that she and Gin had been to this island before..."

Asakawa Yu didn't need to tell Miyano Akemi what happened next; she probably already knew. She had heard about the immortality on the island, and the organization that had always wanted to research rejuvenation certainly wouldn't let this opportunity pass.

But when they arrived, they realized it was all a lie, and that's when they left...
