Chapter 327 Your Great-grandmother Really Has Magical Powers

Hearing this familiar voice, Shimabukuro Kimie immediately turned around and called out the name of the person who came.

"Sume."

The woman named Shoumei had long hair and wore a purple dress. She covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Your great-grandmother is a real person with magical powers, and she has indeed eaten mermaid flesh before."

The woman who suddenly appeared and her words immediately aroused the interest of Kogoro Mori and others.

Although Shimabukuro Kimie, the great-granddaughter of the longevity lady, had just explained all this to them, another indigenous person stood up and swore that the longevity lady had magical powers.

This really made people like Hattori Heiji, who always had a desire to explore, want to get to the bottom of it.

"Excuse me, are you......?"

Kogoro Mouri asked, looking at the woman who suddenly appeared.

"My name is Sumi Ebihara, and I'm a native of the American Island. By the way, I'm also a good friend of Saori and Kimie, whom you mentioned earlier."

Sumi Ebihara lifted her hair and smiled at Kogoro Mori and others.

As soon as Sumi Ebihara finished introducing herself, Heiji Hattori immediately asked,

"Excuse me, what did you say before, that this longevity lady possessed magical powers? Do you have any basis for this?"

"in accordance with?"

Hattori Heiji's words made Ebihara Sumi startled, as if she remembered something, but she quickly came to her senses and smiled slightly.

"I can't tell you the specific evidence, but isn't the fire three years ago convincing enough?"

In the eyes of everyone, Ebihara Sumi's smile seemed a little eerie.

"There was a mermaid's body in that fire!"

"That is a body without leg bones..."

Ebihara Sumi became more and more excited as she spoke, but Hakumasong felt that her words were becoming more and more abstract.

From what Sumi Ebihara said, it is not difficult to tell that she is an ardent believer in the longevity goddess.

But this is the most abstract thing.

The three young girls I met today actually had two completely different views on this mysterious product, the Longevity Lady.

Among them, the priestess in the American shrine on the island, who was on the mysterious side, was the one who least believed in mysterious things. She even explained these things to people she had only met once.

Others, such as Naoko Kuroe who we met before, are just ordinary residents and shop assistants, but they firmly believe in supernatural powers such as mermaids.

Today, Sumi Ebihara also talks to everyone to prove her extraordinary power.

This island is really...

Bai Masong sighed in his heart, all of this was actually just due to the recognition of information.

Since Shimabukuro Kimie knew everything, she naturally scoffed at the mermaid theory.

As for Naoko Kuroe and Susumi Ebihara, they believed in it because they had witnessed what they believed to be extraordinary powers with their own eyes.

Ebihara Sumi became more and more excited as she spoke, but at this moment, a dark-skinned man came over and put his hand on her shoulder.

"Okay, Sumi, that's enough."

"It's not good to talk too much about these things in front of these outsiders."

Ebihara Sumi heard this and turned around and smiled.

"Lu Lang, that's true."

Ebihara Sumi agreed with what Fukuyama Rokuro said, so he didn't say anything more.

Fukuyama Rokuro looked at Hattori Heiji and the others and reminded them,

"If you want to find Saori, there's no need to ask about these things."

"Why don't you go to Saori's house and take a look? Of course, the prerequisite is that you can convince her alcoholic father."

After saying this, Fukuyama Rokuro pulled Ebihara Sumi away from the American Shrine.

The sudden appearance and departure of the two people, as well as the abrupt end to the conversation halfway through, really made Hattori Heiji and others very uncomfortable.

For detectives, this kind of thing that is left unsaid is what they hate the most.

Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Xiaolan actually felt a little emotional.

"They are also Ms. Saori's friends, right? Why do no one seem to care about Ms. Saori's disappearance?"

What Xiaolan said was not only directed at Sumi Ebihara and Rokuro Fukuyama, but also at Kimie Shimabukuro.

Shimabukuro Junhui was a little helpless, and then explained,

"That's because Saori often quarreled with her father before, and she would run away from home after a quarrel. This is not uncommon."

Shimabukuro Kimie's words left Xiaolan and others speechless.

However, experts like Conan and Hattori Heiji who have been to crime scenes for a long time have become more vigilant.

After all, many previous cases were like this. The victim was taken advantage of by the murderer because he (she) was often out of contact, and the murderer thought that he (she) would not be discovered immediately after killing someone, so he committed the murder.

Therefore, even though it is very common for Menxie Saori to run away from home, no one dares to take it lightly.

"By the way, Miss Kimie, could you please take us to Miss Menxie Saori's house?"

Kogoro Mori looked at Kimie Shimabukuro and asked.

After all, there was an acquaintance of Monkyo Saori here, so why would they need to look for someone else to ask for directions? They could just let Shimabukuro Kimie take them there.

Shimabukuro Kimie also tilted her head and smiled.

"Of course you can, but please wait a moment. I will take you there after I finish my work at the shrine and the celebration tonight."

"This is our busiest time. Once the Dugong Festival is over, I will be able to relax!"

After listening to Shimabukuro Kimie's words, Xiaolan and Kazuha were already very interested in the Dugong Festival, so they asked curiously,

"Ms. Junhui, what activities do you usually do during the Dugong Festival?"

"It's nothing, actually."

Shimabukuro Kimie smiled and said,

"We all revolve around the Dugong Arrow. In fact, guests come to our shrine and spend money to buy a number plate, and then wait until the Dugong Festival. As long as the number matches the number shown by my great-grandmother, it will be considered a winner."

"Sounds a bit like a raffle, right?"

As she spoke, Shimabukuro Kimie took out two number plates and handed them to Xiaolan and Kazuha.

"By the way, do you two want to give it a try? Here happen to be two number plates that were returned by a couple."
