Conan: The Self-cultivation of Fake Wine

Now leave for Mermaid Island and ask Shimabukuro June to be his assistant.

Come back tomorrow and watch Haiyuan's performance the day after tomorrow.

However, this is also somewhat difficult.

Shimabukuro Kimie is not so easy to persuade.

She is essentially similar to Asai Makoto, they are both tragic murderers.

It took a lot of effort to convince Asai to be honest.

This time Lu Ren only had one day at most.

This afternoon plus tomorrow morning.

If you can't be convinced, just come back first.

Let’s wait until the next time the Mermaid Island murder case occurs and try to subdue her.

Haiyuan's first stage show is definitely not to be missed.

Lu Ren also planned to borrow a high-performance camera from the newspaper and record the entire process in high definition.

Wait until after watching the performance

Let me ask Kitajima Shino again.

Ask her to help be Prince Charming's stand-in.

It’s hard to find anyone else besides her.

If Shimabukuro Kimie can't be conquered, Kitajima will be the only one who is about the same height as Kudo.

Atsushi Mori is 1.8 meters tall and Makoto Asai is 1.6 meters tall.

The difference between these two and Kudo was ten centimeters each.

You can also ask Hattori to disguise himself as Prince Charming's stand-in.

But this is the last resort.

Hattori's guy is also a bit bluffing, not as reliable as Kitajima.

It's better to go to Mermaid Island first. The specific location was given to him by Suntons yesterday.

No, let’s talk about it later.

Then, after the performance at the Huiyuan Garden Party is over, he can explain his plans to her in detail.

Lu Ren got up from the sofa, put on his windbreaker and changed his shoes.

"Dabai, I probably won't be at home today or tomorrow. You have to take good care of your brother. Drink water and feed the cat food. Don't feed the cat too much food at one time."

Lu Ren made a gesture with his hands, "Just feed this much."

【no problem. The gentle Dabai will take good care of his cute little brother. 】

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

【Be careful on the road. 】

One o'clock at noon.

Lu Ren arrived at Mermaid Island by ship.

Due to the legend of immortality on the island, tourists often come here.

However, there were not many tourists this time.

It is considered the off-season for tourism.

On the same ship, there were only one or two tourists like Lu Ren.

The remaining passengers were all locals on the island.

Lu Ren found a dark-skinned middle-aged man, stuffed a cigarette into him, and successfully got a lot of information.

According to this person, the real peak tourist season will have to wait a while longer.

When the island's annual dugong festival begins, tourists will flock to the island.

During the festival, the mermaid grandmother will give divine power to the arrows.

Arrows with white tail feathers are called dugong arrows.

Who can draw the Dugong Arrow at the festival? Who can be free from all diseases and live forever.

It sounds a bit like his Talisman of Peace.

Pretty bluffing stuff.

Two Hundred Chapter Commemoration

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 203 Ten draws first

The legend of immortality on Mermaid Island has been proven to be false.

The Dugong Arrow has no magical power, and those who possess it will not live forever.

As the mermaid's mother-in-law, Shimabukuro Kime knows that this legend is false, but she still works hard to keep this legend going.

Ironically, the villagers also knew the legend was false. They just pretended not to know and continued to act with Shimabukuro Kime.

What is the real purpose behind the villagers' actions.

There can be many views.

Perhaps it was a good thing, thinking that doing so would help Shimabukuro Kime get over the pain of bereavement as soon as possible.

Maybe it's just because of the travel dividends brought by the reputation of the Mermaid Granny.

Both are possible. Which one it is, only God knows.

When Lu Ren came to see it, he thought the villagers here were quite vicious.

The message Sentoshi sent to Lu Ren yesterday not only had an address, but also came with a detailed introduction to this place.

The legend of Mermaid Island only really became popular three years ago.

The reason is that firefighters found a body without lower limbs in the ruins of a warehouse destroyed by fire.

The media made a big fuss about this matter.

If the corpse has no legs, then it’s not a mermaid.

It was also from that moment on that foreign tourists came here one after another.

The previous Dugong Festival on Mermaid Island was just a small event. The people on the island had fun by themselves, and few foreign tourists participated.

After this happened, everything was different.

When there are more tourists, money will be made.

It's just that the money earned by the villagers is dipped in blood.

The corpse from three years ago was the previous mermaid mother-in-law, Shimabukuro Kimie's mother.

Shimabukuro Kimie followed her mother's will and continued to play the mermaid mother-in-law for three years.

The villagers know all this.

They knew who the dead body was.

But he remained silent, acquiescing to what the outside world said, and even displayed the bones as mermaid corpses for a year.

It was only in the second year that his soul returned to the earth and was buried.

They knew who the new mermaid mother-in-law was, but they still chose to remain silent and continue to interpret this absurd legend together.

The villagers are consuming the kindness of a young girl.

Being silent is sometimes a mistake in itself.

Riku Ren is ready to tell Shimabukuro June about everything hidden under the water.

Let her see the true colors of these people for herself.

Then extend an invitation to her to be his assistant.

As for whether this can be done.

Give it a try first.

According to the information provided by the villager on the previous ship, Lu Ren walked to the shrine on the island.

I found Shimabukuro Kimie wearing a miko costume.

She has long hair and a slight smile on her face. Like the rising sun, warm and kind.

Under her guidance, Lu Ren put coins into the box and rang the bell at the shrine. Then he clasped his palms together and prayed to the gods.

Then the fortune-drawing starts.

Lu Ren was very lucky, and he drew the lucky lot in one draw.

Generally, for this kind of business opening, the number of lucky tickets is as small as the lucky ones, so as not to affect the mood of tourists.

So Lu Ren can be regarded as a reverse.

The signature on this is——

Board the boat and wait for the wind to blow.

The moonlight is dark and hazy,

I want to go on the incense wheel.

There are thousands of mountains.

Shimabukuro Kimie was standing next to Lu Ren. When she saw the ominous sign, she quickly said, "Guest, if you hang this sign nearby, you can turn bad luck into good luck."

"It's okay." Lu Ren smiled and put the lottery in his pocket, took out the coins again and handed them to Shimabukuro Kimie, "No need to look for them. I'll do a tenth round first."

"." Shimabukuro Kimie was stunned. When he saw Lu Ren starting to pump his hand again, he realized it and said hurriedly, "This is against the rules as a guest. You must be pious to the gods."

Lu Ren held her hand and said warmly, "Be quiet, I paid for it."

Big bad, big bad, big bad, big bad, big bad

Nine bad fortunes in a row.

Seeing this scene, Shimabukuro Kimie was confused again.

Did she stuff so many bad luck signs in here?

And according to probability.

Including the previous one, there are ten bad fortunes.

this.

The last one should be the same.

When something is too outrageous, what people often want to do is not to stop it, but to acquiesce, wanting to see just how outrageous it can be.

Just like now, Shimabukuro June has unrealistic delusions in her heart.

As a result, the last lot was not a bad luck, but a good fortune.
