Chapter 205: Mermaid New Ghost
In Jiang Xia's impression, Shimabukuro Kimie was right:
Dugong arrows have no curse power.
There are no mermaids on Mermaid Island.
Even the "fate" of longevity itself is an outright lie.
——The 130-year-old appearance is actually the result of generations of makeup by the women of the Shimabukuro family.
Until three years ago, the actress who played the role of Kimie Shimabukuro's mother, Naoko Shimabukuro.
Three years ago, during the Mermaid Festival, Kadowaki Saori and her two friends failed to draw the dugong's arrow. The three of them were unwilling to accept this, so they got drunk and tried to get the arrow from the shrine's warehouse, but they happened to see "Ming-Yang" walking into the warehouse.
So they took advantage of their drunkenness, laughed and locked the warehouse door, and set it on fire, wanting to test whether "Ming Yang" was immortal.
Shimabukuro Naoko, who played the role of "Miya", did not survive. Before she died, she knew she could not escape, so she called her daughter Shimabukuro Kimie, hoping that she would continue to play the role of Miya so that the Mermaid Festival could continue.
After her death, Naoko Shimabukuro's lower body was crushed by the collapsed pillar, and the remaining skeleton looked like a mermaid without feet.
Shimabukuro Kimie didn't understand what was going on, but she still did as her mother said and acted like a fool with tears in her eyes.
On the second day after the fire, the arsonist Saori Kadobe and her two friends saw the "mermaid bones" in the warehouse, and then saw the "life" that was locked in the warehouse and burned yesterday, but appeared in front of everyone unharmed the next day. In addition to being terrified, they became the most loyal believers of mermaids.
…
Therefore, a few days ago, after Menleisha lost the dugong arrow, she was certain that she would be punished by the mermaid.
In a panic, she relied on the fact that she was Shimabukuro Kimie's friend to ask Shimabukuro Kimie for arrows, and revealed that she and her friend had burned the mermaid three years ago.
Shimabukuro Kimie was struck by lightning at that time. She tried to tell herself that it was fate that deceived her first, and both sides were wrong.
But the murderous intent that he had suppressed with great difficulty was ignited again by Saori Kadobe's outrageous actions.
Saori Kadowaki said excitedly: "If you can't get the arrow, then at least tell me where the mermaid's grave is - I remember that Mingyang buried the charred mermaid bones in the warehouse in the mountains... Please, I also want to be immortal like Mingyang."
Shimabukuro Kimie was stunned.
According to legend, the way to obtain "immortality" is to eat mermaid flesh.
...In other words, it was not enough that this person burned her mother to death, and now he even wanted to eat the bones of the deceased.
Shimabukuro Kimie was instantly overwhelmed by murderous intent and decided to kill all three arsonists.
…
Today, Shimabukuro Kimie went out with Kadowaki Saori, which was also part of her murder plan - she accompanied Kadowaki Saori to see a dentist on the main island, and planned to find an opportunity to trick Kadowaki Saori away and kill her after she came back.
However, what she didn't expect was that Saori Kadowaki actually hired a detective.
And one of them is a famous detective who has appeared on many TV shows...
When Kadowaki Saori was talking nonsense to Hattori Heiji and others, asking them to help catch the mermaid, Shimabukuro Kimie secretly glanced at Jiang Xia.
But she saw Jiang Xia was also looking at her. The young detective's eyes were calm and there was no expression on his face, but Shimabukuro Kimie's whole body froze when he was stared at.
She suddenly had the illusion that there was a sword hanging over her head, about to fall... or a heavy stick about to fall. Instinctively, a trace of fear arose from the bottom of her heart.
They looked at each other for a moment, and when Shimabukuro Kimie was about to lose control of her expression, Jiang Xia turned her head away.
Then the famous detective looked away from her, staring at the passing food truck.
Shimabukuro Kimie secretly exhaled, her heart pounding.
...Why did Jiang Xia look at her like that? Did she reveal some flaw?
But her murder plan had just begun, how could it be seen through directly? ...This, this should be just an illusion caused by guilty conscience.
…
Everyone on the boat has his or her own thoughts.
Before getting off the boat, Hattori Heiji returned the commission money to Kadowaki Saori. He really didn't know what he could do. He couldn't really go into the sea to catch mermaids.
So he completely regarded this trip as a tour.
After getting off the boat, Kadowaki Saori left in a depressed mood, while Shimabukuro Kimie said goodbye to the others in a gentle voice and sent Kadowaki Saori home.
Although in Shimabukuro Kimie's heart, the friendship had long been broken, but for now, she had to pretend that nothing had happened and continue to play the role of a gentle and considerate friend.
Jiang Xia originally wanted to get the murderous aura from Shimabukuro Kimie first.
But when the boat approached the island, the ghosts made other discoveries.
——There is a ghost smell on the island.
And the presence is particularly strong.
The gentle sea breeze blew in Jiangxia, and my mood continued to improve.
Don’t call this place Mermaid Island anymore, let’s change the name to Paradise Island. The brackets are exclusive to European psychics.
…
The Mermaid Festival is about to be held and it is afternoon, so the specialty street on Mermaid Island is very lively.
The three girls happily dived in. Hattori Heiji and Conan followed Toyama Kazuha and Mouri Ran respectively, and were soon drowned in the crowd.
Jiang Xia followed behind, and while walking around, he secretly deviated from the direction and headed straight towards the breath of the ghost fetus.
After passing through the bustling specialty street and a quiet grove, Jiangxia saw a simple shrine when approaching the beach.
The breath of the ghost fetus came from here.
There are usually only two people in the shrine, one is the long-lived "Mingyang" and the other is Shimabukuro Kimie who takes care of Mingyang. In fact, these two are the same person.
Now, Shimabukuro Kimie has accompanied Kadowaki Saori back home, and the shrine has suddenly become empty.
Jiang Xia was just about to go in and take a look.
However, just as he reached the door, he paused and suddenly dodged.
Almost at the same time, a long, narrow, translucent fish tail brushed past his side and slapped past him with great force.
The attack missed, and the tail fell back to its original position, with the tail fin taut and moving slightly, as if preparing for the next attack.
Jiang Xia raised his head and was slightly stunned after seeing the scene in front of him.
I don't know when there were more of these on the low torii...
A mermaid ghost as big as a human.
