Even though I couldn't get those two curious and weird cats or mice, it would be worth the trip if I could catch that big fish.

Since it would take some time for his men to find the giant shark, Suzuki Jirokichi simply sat down and chatted with Matsumoto Akira and the others.

At this time, Matsumoto Akira finally understood why Suzuki Jirokichi had said that before.

It turned out that Suzuki Jirokichi only understood half of what was said at the time and did not hear clearly what his cousin Suzuki Shiro and his cousins ​​were talking about.

He only roughly judged some information from their conversation, and then after further understanding, he discovered talents like Matsumoto Akira.

Although Matsumoto Akira and Suzuki Sonoko were close, due to a series of misunderstandings, Suzuki Jirokichi considered it and decided to include both sisters, Suzuki Sonoko and Suzuki Ayako, in his options.

Jiro Suzuki really loves his little niece, but relatively speaking, he feels that his older niece Ayako Suzuki's personality is more suitable for taking over the entire Suzuki Group.

After all, for Matsumoto Akira, it is not unacceptable for a woman who is three years older than him to be the bride of a rich man.

Suzuki Jirokichi also loves his eldest niece Suzuki Ayako very much, but he is not sure what his cousin is planning.

Although he has not made a final decision yet, he seems to be willing to let his little niece inherit the entire family.

However, Suzuki Jirokichi does not intend to explore deeper issues.

After all, he would not bear the overall responsibility for the Suzuki Group, so he didn't care much about these things.

He was simply curious, who would this young man, who had a certain relationship with both of his nieces, choose?

As for whether Matsumoto Akira has a girlfriend, Suzuki Jirokichi has never thought of finding out.

In Suzuki Jirokichi's outlook on life, how could a man chosen by his cousins ​​as a possible son-in-law have anything to do with other women?

At least at this stage, this situation is unlikely to happen, right?

After all, Matsumoto Akira's family background was not that of a chaebol comparable to the Suzuki Group, but rather an ordinary family with several generations of police officers.

Although it has certain political resources, they are not equal to those of the Suzuki Group.

Surprisingly, the other party didn't seem to have any intention of developing in that direction, and Suzuki Sonoko did not show any similar behavior.

Fortunately, this was not a big deal. When Suzuki Jirokichi heard about it, he only knew that his cousins, the current controllers of the Suzuki Group, admired Matsumoto Akira very much.

As to how he appreciated her specifically and whether he really intended to recruit Matsumoto Akira as his son-in-law, it is still unclear.

"We are very pleased to welcome you. Your presence makes Bijima Island shine brightly, Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi!"

Just as everyone was chatting, the village chief of the island led a group of villagers and hurried to Suzuki Jirokichi.

Unlike other low-key conglomerate owners, the wealth controlled by Suzuki Jirokichi is no less than that of others, but he is a very high-profile person.

He is often in the news, either acquiring art or antiques.

Therefore, even these residents knew that he was a strong thigh, and the entire island would benefit greatly if they could get some of his charity.

"Hey, you know, I hate this kind of boring thing the most!" Suzuki Jirokichi looked at the group of people with an impatient look on his face, "Although I have always pursued pomp and circumstance, it does not mean that I like others to flatter me!"

When the villagers heard what Suzuki Jirokichi said, they looked at each other in bewilderment. Usually, no important people came here, and this was the first time for them to come here collectively to curry favor with him. They really had no experience.

The village chief showed an awkward smile on his face. At this moment, the village shrine maiden Shimabukuro Kimie happened to appear not far away. The village chief hurriedly called her over.

"Kimie! We don't have anything to show off on our island, and only this shrine is somewhat famous. Your grandmother is old, so I'm asking you to entertain Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi!"

"Huh? Me?"

Shimabukuro Kimie pointed at her nose in astonishment. She had never seen such a big shot before.

Besides, those detectives were also there, and she had been avoiding them all the time. It was not a good thing to get in front of them because of this matter.

However, after all, it was the villagers' eager expectation, and although she felt a little headache, Shimabukuro Kimie still went over there.

"Oh, you are the miko from the island shrine. You must have been sent here by the village chief!"

As soon as Shimabukuro Kimie approached, Suzuki Sonoko noticed her and immediately greeted her warmly.

Seeing that his niece seemed to have a good relationship with the other party, Suzuki Jirokichi's expression eased.

"There are actually witches on this island? I've never heard of this before. Can you give me a detailed introduction?"

Suzuki Jirokichi found a topic and also wanted to use it to get to know the shrine maiden, so that he wouldn't be left speechless when this shrine maiden, who seemed to have a good relationship with his niece, came over.

After all, he knew nothing about the witch on the island, and he had never heard of the mermaid legend.

Of course, if mermaids really exist, Suzuki Jirokichi wouldn't mind bringing people to try to see if he could take the mermaids away.

However, it is obvious that the so-called mermaids definitely do not exist, at least not on this island that is said to have the appearance of mermaids.

Shimabukuro Kimie felt relieved when she realized that these detectives didn't pay special attention to her.

Her relaxed behavior easily attracted the attention of the two detectives, but neither Conan nor Hattori Heiji took it seriously.

After all, on this small island, just look at the performance of the villagers before, who wouldn’t be trembling with fear when facing a big shot like Suzuki Jirokichi?

I had never met such an important person before, so it was inevitable that I felt nervous. Even a shrine maiden had her own life on weekdays.

The relaxed Shimabukuro Kimie gave a detailed introduction to the origin of the shrine, which was basically some information that could be found. However, for a big shot like Suzuki Jirokichi who had never been interested in these things, it was still quite novel.

"So your grandmother is actually over 130 years old. She is really a long-lived old lady!"

Although this age is indeed surprising, Suzuki Jirokichi has no intention of meeting him except to express his feelings.

After all, for rich people, it is normal to prolong their lifespan through various technological means, and poor people can naturally live for a long time through mutations or other coincidences.

Although one hundred and thirty years old is already a very old age, it is not completely impossible, and generally speaking, this kind of situation is basically the type that cannot be replicated.
