Chapter 372: The Mermaid’S Revenge Begins
America Island Pier.
Xia Ye and his party came to the village office after disembarking from the boat.
The invitation letter Hattori Heiji received did not even have contact information, and now he has no way to find a client!
So I had to come to the staff for help.
"You kid~"
Mouri Kogoro complained again and again:
"We were called to this island before we knew anything about it!"
"What should I do now? Are we really looking for a mermaid?"
"Uncle————"
Hattori Heiji looked helpless:
"They have enclosed the commission fee with the letter. Even if we don't want to take care of it, we still have to return the commission fee to them, right?"
"Entrustment fee?"
Mouri Kogoro suddenly became energetic:
"How many?"
"Half a million each!"
"Remember to give me my share!"
With money, Mouri Kogoro has no complaints.
I walked straight to the front desk of the village office and started asking about the situation.
"You mean mermaid?"
Hearing Mouri Kogoro's description, Mr. Kobayashi, a staff member of the village office, was a little surprised. After thinking for a moment, he said:
"There is a legend about mermaids on this island, but when it comes to mermaids, the first thing that comes to mind is the annual legend celebration on our island!"
"If you want to find a mermaid——"
“Just go and join in!”
“Dugong Celebration?”
Mouri Kogoro scratched his head, is this some kind of folk activity?"
"Dugong Festival, the longevity woman who eats mermaid meat and can live forever will be given out three dugong arrows at each celebration. Whoever gets this dugong arrow made from the hair of the longevity woman will realize the wish of immortality." !”
Behind everyone.
The woman with short blond hair wearing glasses talked a lot.
Judging from her enthusiastic expression, she is obviously someone who firmly believes in the existence of mermaids in this world!
"Shaori?"
They were all residents of Kojima. Mr. Xiaolin naturally knew each other, greeted him, and then introduced Xia Ye and his party:
"This is Saori Kadori, she works at the souvenir shop on the corner."
"She is very interested in mermaids. If you have any questions, you can ask her."
"Hello, Miss Saori~"
Mouri Kogoro approached to chat with him.
After all, Saori Kadari is a pretty young beauty.
He won't let this old guy off!
After chatting for a while, everyone was going to visit the souvenir shop where Saori Kadori worked.
The client, Ms. Mermaid, cannot be found at the moment.
Then let’s consider it as a trip to the island!
On the village path.
Xia Ye and Xiao Ran walked behind.
Watching Saori Kadori chatting with Mouri Kogoro.
In the original plot, when Conan and the others came to Miguo Island, Saori Monori had already been killed by Jun Hui.
However, Jun Hui hasn't taken action yet.
As the culprit who killed Jun Hui's mother, Jun Hui prepared an even more shocking way of death for her this time!
In a souvenir shop.
Saori Kadari introduced the products in the store to Conan and others.
"Xia Ye_"
Xiao Ran tugged on Xia Ye's clothes, with a puzzled face:
"Why do I feel that Miss Saori is a little too attentive? Is there something wrong?"
"Shaori————"
Before Xia Ye could speak.
A somewhat teasing voice came from the door:
"You are trying to please tourists again. Do you want to trick people into getting dugong arrows and selling them to you so that you can escape the mermaid's curse?"
"Naoko!"
Monori Saori turned back to look at the person coming with a look of shame and anger on her face:
"No one will think you are mute if you don't speak!"
"Haha~"
Kuroe Naoko’s eyes are teasing:
"You lost the dugong arrow you got at the celebration last year, and you've been holding on to it forever!"
"If it weren't for getting another dugong arrow, how could you possibly please tourists with your personality?"
"Wait!" Xiao Ran asked curiously:
"What does the mermaid's curse mean?"
"The Curse of the Mermaid——"
Kuroe Naoko glanced at Kaori Saori:
"The dugong arrow is a symbol of the mermaid. If you lose the dugong arrow, you will naturally suffer the mermaid's revenge!"
"Speaking of which, I thought Saori would escape from Kojima and hide in the mainland for a while!"
Everyone turned their attention to Kaori Saori.
As expected, there was a hint of panic on her face.
For those who firmly believe in the existence of mermaids.
Mermaids are not only beings that can make people immortal, but they are also monsters that can curse people!
I have to say this is very sad~
People who don’t believe in the existence of mermaids won’t have this kind of trouble!
Xia Ye glanced at Kuroe Naoko and Kadori Saori.
Both women are convinced of the existence of mermaids.
He even set fire to Hui's mother because he wanted to verify the existence of the mermaid!
After losing the dugong arrow, Saori Monari went to Junhui and asked about the location of her mother's grave, hoping to eat the "mermaid's" bones to become immortal!
If God wants it to perish, it must first make it crazy!
Destroying humanity to this point——
The deaths of these "good friends" Jun Hui were not unfair at all!
"Mermaids are quite cautious!" Hattori Heiji muttered.
"Don't speak ill of the mermaid!"
Hearing Xia Ye teasing mermaids, Naoko Kuroe and Saori Kadori's expressions changed:
"Even if you are foreigners——"
"The mermaid's curse will also come true!"
"Okay, okay!"
Mouri Kogoro is very emotionally intelligent and lightens the atmosphere:
"We'll just stop talking!"
"Excuse me--"
Conan raised his head and changed the subject:
"If we want to participate in that dugong celebration, where do we need to go?"
“Of course it’s the shrine on the island!”
Kuroe Naoko pointed to the seaside not far away:
"The longevity lady of the shrine is the protagonist of today's celebration, and she is also the symbol of our island~"
"Since the beginning of recorded history, she has presided over the annual dugong celebration!"
"So?"
Kazuha beautiful eyes are curious:
"Since she is said to be a longevity woman, how old is her actual age?"
"How old is Changshou Po?"
Kuroe Naoko was stunned and was not sure:
"Some said it was a hundred years old, and some said it was two hundred years old. Anyway, since I was a child——"
"No, my mother was already a longevity woman when she was a child. Are you right, Saori?"
When asked, Kadori Saori nodded.
"That's right. The longevity woman has become immortal just by eating mermaid meat, so she can live for such a long time!"
"However, if you want to know how old she is, it's best to ask Jun Hui!"
"Yes, let's go find Jun Hui!"
"Jun Hui?"
Xiao Ran heard the name he had seen in the diary and asked pretending not to know:
"Who is that?"
"He's a friend who grew up with us~"
There was nothing strange about Kuroe Naoko's face:
"Jun Hui is the great-granddaughter of Changshou Po. She is now working as a maid in the shrine.
"If you want to know how old Changshou is, you can ask her."
"Then let's go to the shrine now!"
Xiao Ran couldn't wait to meet this girl that Xia Ye had mentioned in her diary, so she took Xia Ye's hand and urged.
"OK!"
The shrine of Yonekojima is located next to the seaside.
The stairs leading to the torii gate are right on the beach.
When Xia Ye and his party came to the torii gate of the shrine.
A beautiful miko wearing a red and white miko costume was standing on the beach looking at the sea.
The sea in the distance was covered with clouds, and the tide kept pouring onto the beach, making all the sand in front of her wet. It seemed that the atmosphere was a bit depressing~
"Jun Hui!"
Kuroe Naoko waved to the miko.
"Naoko? And Saori?"
Jun Hui turned around with a faint smile on her pretty face:
"You guys are here so early?"
"We are bringing guests for you!"
Kuroe Naoko and Kadori Saori talked to Shimabukuro Kimie in a natural manner, as if they were really good friends with no barriers!
"guest?"
Shimabukuro Kime looked at Xia Ye and her party, her beautiful eyes smiling:
"Are they just these people?"
"Hello, Miss Junhui~"
Xiao Ran and Kazuha looked at each other.
She is indeed a beautiful and gentle young lady, and she has a temperament that makes me pity her. No wonder Xia Ye mentioned it in her diary.
"Hello~"
I know that these girls are all Xia Ye’s women.
So even if it is the first meeting.
Shimabukuro Kimie also naturally felt that they were somewhat close.
After both parties introduced themselves.
Xiao Ran was already familiar with it and started chatting with Jun Hui.
Compared with her cautious and polite personality before, she now has the social phobia of Yukiko!
"oops!"
"How could my great-grandmother be two hundred years old?"
Hearing Xiao Ran ask about Changshou's age, Shimabukuro Kime waved her hands and said with a smile:
"Actually, she is only 130 years old as of this year. She is not as exaggerated as the legend says!"
"One hundred and thirty years old?" Kazuha exclaimed:
"This is already an exaggeration!"
“Are you okay~”
A trace of undetectable sadness flashed in Shimabukuro-kun's beautiful eyes, and then disappeared.
Only Xiao Ran, who had been observing her, was thoughtful.
It seems that Junhui has some unspeakable hidden secret here, maybe it is the same as Qiankai Chengxin from Yueying Island!
As expected, Xia Ye likes girls with stories!
"Then let me ask————"
Hattori Heiji asked aloud:
"Where is your great-grandmother now?"
"Of course I am working hard at the shrine to make the dugong arrows that I will send out tonight~"
Shimabukuro Kime pointed to the shrine behind her:
"If you want to see her, you have to wait until the celebration begins. She will not come out to meet the guests before the celebration begins!"
"That's it..."
Mouri Kogoro suddenly came over and asked mysteriously:
"Miss Junhui, let me ask you, did your great-grandmother really eat mermaid meat?"
“Keke~*
Shimabukuro Kime chuckled, and the lovely silver bell-like laughter contained a mocking meaning:
"There is no such thing as a mermaid in this world. Those are all nonsense made by people. Don't believe it, Mr. Mouri!"
"You are so stupid!"
A girl's voice came from the shrine's torii gate:
"Jun Hui, you say that because you don't believe in your great-grandmother's calendar at all!"
"Sumi!"
Shimabukuro Kime turned back to look at the person.
I saw a beautiful woman with long black straight hair walking down the steps. She walked closer and said with a smile:
"Your great-grandmother really has magical powers, and she did eat mermaid meat before. Three years ago, mermaid corpses appeared on the island, right?"
"The body of a mermaid!?"
Conan and Hattori Heiji were shocked.
Could that be the client who sent the invitation letter?
"That's just a rumor!"
Shimabukuro Kimie's hands behind her back were clenched so tightly that her nails were
Seeped into the palm of my hand!
A hint of murderous intent flashed through her clear beautiful eyes!
Ebihara Hisumi's words made her fire of revenge almost uncontrollable!
Three years ago, the three people present wanted to verify whether the longevity lady my mother pretended to be was an immortal mermaid, so they closed the warehouse door and burned my mother to death. Now they are still shameless.
Damn it for mentioning this!
Can't wait any longer!
You can start now!
"hehe~"
"Open your eyes and tell lies!"
Ebihara Hisumi shook her head helplessly.
There was something else she wanted to say.
But I heard Kadori Saori’s scream coming from beside me.
"Mermaid!"
"What?!"
Everyone was shocked and turned around to take a look.
Then I saw Saori Monori running towards the surging sea like crazy!
Soon the sea water covered her calves and wet her clothes.
However, she had no idea about it, as if she had been confused by some strange existence and wanted to throw herself into the embrace of the sea!
"Saori!"
Kuroe Naoko and Ebihara Hisumi shouted loudly:
"come back quickly!"
"The tide is rising now, it's too dangerous!"
"No!"
Kaori Saori screamed:
"I definitely saw a mermaid just now. Just wait. When I catch the mermaid, you will be immortal, hahaha!"
"Saori!" Shimabukuro Kime said with an anxious face.
"You come back first. Even if there are mermaids, everyone can help you catch them. It's too dangerous for you to do this!"
"Don't try to trick me into going back!"
The sea water has covered Saori Monari's thighs, but she still looks enthusiastic:
"You are trying to steal my mermaid, I will not go to—!"
Wow——!
She didn't finish her sentence.
A big wave crashed over.
Her figure has disappeared on the sea!
The surging tide left no trace of 097!
"Damn it!"
The incident was so sudden that no one had time to stop Saori Kaori as she rushed towards the sea.
And later on, no one dared to risk their lives and rush in to save others!
Looking at the empty sea, Mouri Kogoro said helplessly:
"Hurry up and call the police for help!"
"yes!"
The rescue team on the island arrived quickly, but before they could even put the boat out to sea, Kuroe Naoko pointed to the sea in horror:
"That - is it Saori?"
"Seems to be!"
After her reminder, everyone looked towards the sea not far away.
At that location that was watched by many people, a black shadow seemed to appear out of thin air, drifting towards the shore with the surging tide——
Under the sea breeze.
Many people can't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
Wait until the black shadow is washed to the shore by the waves.
The chill in everyone’s hearts is even worse!
That's right——
This black shadow is Saori Kadori who just rushed into the sea!
At this moment, she naturally had no signs of life. However, the strange thing was that
Her face did not show the struggle and fear that ordinary deceased people would have before death. Instead, there was a proud smile on her face, which looked extremely captivating!
"She seemed to be holding something in her hand."
After carefully observing Kaori Saori's death, Xiao Ai reminded him calmly.
"What?"
The people gathered around the corpse looked at the sound.
Sure enough——--Kaori Saori's right hand was clenched tightly, as if she was actually holding something!
At this time her body was gradually stiffening.
It took a lot of effort for the two islanders to open her fingers and see what she was touching!
The atmosphere was silent for a moment.
Fear couldn't help but spread among the crowd!
"Fish scales!"
That's right, it was a crystal clear fish scale, as if it were made of jade!
As islanders who live on the sea, most people here can tell the type of fish at a glance through its scales.
However, they couldn't tell what kind of fish scale this fish scale was, or even whether it was a fish scale!
"Could it be——"
"Is it a mermaid?"
Finally, someone murmured in a trembling voice a guess that no one dared to say.
"right!"
At this time, Kuroe Naoko and Ebihara Hisumi no longer felt sad about losing their friends. Kuroe Naoko breathed quickly:
"Just before Saori rushed to the sea, she said she saw a mermaid. She was absolutely right!"
"That's definitely a mermaid!"
"Saori is cursed!"
Hisumi Ebihara looked at Saori Kadori's body with strange eyes, "She lost the dugong arrow, so even if she saw the mermaid, she was not convinced that she would live forever. Instead, she was
The mermaid was killed, if————”
Everyone knows what this means.
Faced with this temptation, various thoughts arose one after another.
Wow——!
The sound of rolling waves came from the distant sea.
Everyone subconsciously followed the sound, and an elegant shadow jumped out of the water, drew a perfect arc and submerged into the sea. The crystal scales on the dreamy fish tail were the same as the ones on the door ribs just now.
The one held in the palm of your hand is exactly the same!

People just went crazy!.
