The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 335 Maori Kogoro: You and I have a common hobby

"alright."

Since Hakuba Song had already said this, Hattori Heiji and Conan stopped asking further questions.

At this time, the gathered crowd also returned home under the command of Kogoro Mori and Kimie Shimabukuro.

After completing the evacuation mission, Shimabukuro Kimie said to Hattori Heiji and others with a tired look,

"Everyone, if you want to see your great-grandmother, let's go now."

"it is good."

............................

Led by Shimabukuro Kimie, the group walked for a while and returned to the Meijima Shrine.

"here......"

The corners of Maori Kogoro's mouth twitched slightly.

"So the American Island Shrine is Miss Kimie and you guys' home."

"Yes,"

Shimabukuro Kimie smiled naturally.

"In the beginning, there wasn't actually any shrine on our American Island. Although the legendary mermaids were worshipped, they were worshipped individually, and there was no large organization."

"Later, when my great-grandmother got older, some people began to deify her, and so our home gradually developed into a shrine."

After listening to Shimabukuro Kimie's introduction, everyone felt a little sad.

Bai Masong also sneered in his heart,

Deifying an old man is naturally a good thing for a small island like America.

Just like some tourist cities in previous lives, many cities were not famous at first.

However, it has developed tourism by using some unique publicity gimmicks.

The same is true of the American island today, except that they only rely on one long-lived old man.

However, this kind of reliance is extremely illusory and even shameless.

After all, if the Longevity Lady really was someone who could cast spells and achieve immortality, it would be fine, but she was actually just a real mortal.

If she died, the entire American island would be destroyed.

This is also the reason why Shimabukuro Kimie's family needs to keep playing the role of the longevity lady, just to maintain this false longevity scam.

However, the residents of the American island are accepting with peace of mind these dividends that do not belong to them.

Maybe they will feel a little guilty, but guilt is nothing compared to interests.

After Shimabukuro Kimie finished speaking casually, she made a pot of tea for everyone and invited them to sit down.

"I'm going to call my great-grandmother. Please wait here for a moment."

Shimabukuro Kimie smiled at everyone and left.

After Shimabukuro Kimie left, everyone started chatting casually.

As I said, even though we have just experienced an unsolved murder case, no one is taking it too seriously.

Hattori Heiji first complained that this place is the American Island Shrine and the home of Shimabukuro Kimie, but he didn't expect that it is still so simple.

Afterwards, Xiaolan and Kazuha on the side began to explain that Shimabukuro Kimie's family did not have much source of income, so their life was naturally not luxurious.

Not long after, Grandma Changshou opened the door and walked in unsteadily, leaning on a cane.

Compared to the Dugong Festival at that time, although the figure of the Longevity Lady is the same now, she looks very old.

The wrinkles on his face were like dry old tree bark, and it seemed that there was not much life left.

"Do you guys have something to ask me?"

The voice of the longevity lady rang in everyone's ears.

How should I describe this voice? It is full of the vicissitudes of time. The pronunciation cannot be said to be very unclear, but it is also between understandable and incomprehensible.

It was the kind of voice that made it obvious that this person was an elderly person in his twilight years.

This old woman is really like an old monster!

At this moment, the same thought appeared in everyone's mind.

The light in Bai Masong's eyes was even brighter.

This Shimabukuro Kimie's disguise skills are even more powerful than he imagined.

I originally thought that she was just playing the role of an ordinary old person, but she performed the role of an old person to a higher level.

Moreover, there was no flaw in the voice, and it was impossible to tell that this was a young man.

Not to mention connecting this dying old man with the young and lively Shimabukuro Kimie.

Not bad, he is worthy of being one of the few people in the original work who has the ability to disguise himself.

"Yes, old woman,"

Facing the question from the longevity lady, Conan was the first to step forward and ask questions.

"We want to ask..."

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Maori Kogoro with a punch.

"boom!"

"Don't make trouble, little kid!"

Kogoro Mouri yelled at Conan.

Faced with the unreasonable Kogoro Mouri, Conan could only walk to the back with a big bump on his head and sit next to Hattori Heiji with a wronged look on his face.

Seeing that Conan was obedient, Maori Kogoro coughed twice and asked the longevity lady with a serious face,

"Mrs. Shimabukuro, we would like to ask you, generally speaking, what method do you use to determine the winning numbers?"

Kogoro Maori had also asked Hakuba Matsu this question before, so he went straight to the point.

"This one,"

The longevity lady seemed to be old, and looked like an old desktop computer, a little stuck.

She was stunned for half a minute, and when everyone wanted to call her again, she came to her senses and said to Maori Kogoro,

"decide as things go."

It depends?

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

What do you mean? Is it so casual?

"hehe,"

The old lady laughed awkwardly in her voice like dry bark.

"Sometimes, I even use horse racing numbers. Who knows!"

“Ahaha, that’s how it is.”

The corner of Kogoro Mouri's mouth twitched again. He didn't expect that this long-lived woman, who was already old, actually had the same hobbies as a "young man" like him.

At this time, Hattori Heiji seemed curious.

"Old lady, if that's the case, why don't you smoke a few more times?"

"If you give dugong arrows to Brother Song like this, you can make a lot of money."

When Hattori Heiji said this, the scene became a little awkward.

Bai Masong was also helpless. Now, he was going to be accused of spending money recklessly and being superstitious.
