The elders on the island actually knew that her mother's death was faked 5 years ago, and that her mother was burned to death 3 years ago.

But Junhui Shimabukuro himself didn't know about it.

So from her point of view, if she is a murderer who killed her mother, then she has every reason to conceal the identity of the "mysterious deceased" three years ago.

This would explain her previous abnormal behavior.

Shimabukuro's conclusion that she was the murderer of the mother seems very strong.

"No." But Hattori Heiji shook his head: "Kazuba, don't just focus on that case three years ago."

"Remember the line of blood left by the murderer we found in Miss Saori's room earlier?"

"This..." Everyone was taken aback.

Everyone has thought of the unidentified "Secondary Two" message:

"The fire of sin must be paid in blood."

These words were left at Saori Kadowaki's house.

In the context of this sentence, Saori Kadowaki who has been killed is undoubtedly the guy who needs to "pay the debt of blood".

So, what blood debt did she owe, and what kind of "sin" did she commit?

"I see…"

Everyone has figured out the mystery:

"Ms. Shimabukuro's abnormal behavior can indeed have another explanation:"

"Maybe she's not some kind of matricide."

"It's a... Avenger!"

Saori Kadowaki may have something to do with the fire three years ago and the murder of Kimie Shimabukuro's mother.

So Junhui Shimabukuro retaliated against her.

It was precisely because of such a murder that she didn't want Lin Xinyi to investigate the case three years ago.

Lest Lin Xinyi follow the vine and find out about the murder of Saori Kadowaki.

This can also explain Shimabukuro Junhui's previous abnormal performance.

And no matter which of the two explanations you choose...

"Miss Shimabukuro is a 'murderer'."

Yuan Shanhe Ye's tone was a bit heavy.

She was a little unwilling to accept that the gentle elder sister who was very popular with people could be the murderer.

"It's okay, we're just guessing right now..."

Hattori Heiji was half consoling, half stating:

"Whether Junhui Shimabukuro is the murderer or not remains to be proved by subsequent investigations."

"We must now pay attention to her every move and try to find really strong clues."

"Mr. Lin." He turned to look at Lin Xinyi: "While you and Miss Chris were waiting here, did anything happen in the shrine?"

"Especially Naoko Kuroe and Sumi Ebihara, don't they have any abnormalities?"

Belmode had already analyzed it before, Heijiang and Ebinohara were very abnormal in their emotions after learning that their best friend had been killed.

This matter was nothing before.

After everyone guessed that Saori Kadowaki's murder might be related to the fire three years ago, the overly tense performance of Heijiang and Ebihara is worth pondering.

Is it simply the fear brought about by superstitious legends, or is there another reason?

Everyone has their own guesses.

So Hattori Heiji also paid special attention to the whereabouts of the two of them.

And Lin Xinyi's answer is:

"Everything is fine here."

"Shimabukuro Junhui should still be busy with makeup to play the longevity mother-in-law, and she didn't show up at all."

"As for Kuroe Naoko and Ebihara Sumi who just went in with her to meet the 'Longevity Grandma', the two of them came out after staying in the shrine for a while."

"I asked them, and they only said that the 'longevity mother-in-law' comforted them when they met, and then let them go."

As he spoke, Lin Xinyi pointed to the crowded crowd beside him:

Naoko Kuroe and Ebihara Sumi were among the crowd at this moment, bowing their heads to the shrine and praying devoutly, waiting quietly for the opening of the Mermaid Festival.

It looks no different from other superstitious tourists.

And there was no movement from the shrine.

"Shimabukuro Junhui will also attend the mermaid festival at night."

"During the period of the festival, as a 'longevity mother-in-law', I'm afraid she can't do anything else."

"so…"

"Let's wait here first! When the festival is over..."

"Perhaps that Miss Miko will 'tell' us the answer."

Chapter 506 The Mermaid Festival × Romantic Date √

In the tense anticipation of Naoko Heijiang, Sumi Ebihara, and countless tourists present.

This grand mermaid festival finally came out after long-awaited, kicking off on time at 6:[-] in the evening.

And what is this "grand festival"? In fact, it is a local folk performance organized by a group of fishermen from the island who temporarily guested at the shrine, dressed in traditional costumes, and brought out torches and drums.

In Lin Xinyi's view, this is similar to those great dancing gods in the countryside in China:

Even though these people are usually construction site uncles and farmer uncles, as soon as there is a wedding or funeral in the village, they can immediately change into a set of monk and Taoist clothes, and come to chant sutras for their masters with drums and gongs.

It looked amazing.

In fact, they are just a bunch of temporary workers.

Even the clergy are all temporary workers who are fishermen, so the gold content of this festival can be imagined.

It's just that because of the freshness brought about by cultural differences, foreign dance masters make people look awkward and barely acceptable.

Considering that this is just a village-level activity hosted by a small island fishing village, the scale and organization level of the activity is not even as good as the inter-class radio gymnastics of middle schools in small county towns on the 18th line in China...

It's not bad that they can create a scene of this level.

but…

"Deputy Director Zhu Xing, and those high-society gentlemen."

"Is it because you are so fooled by this level of festivals that you come here every year to 'worship Buddha'?"

Looking at the group of foreign tourists with fanatical expressions around him, the corners of Lin Xinyi's mouth could not help but twitch slightly:

"What the hell are they thinking?"

"It's very simple." Belmode's lazy smile was full of sarcasm: "Their brain circuits are different from yours."

"You think this matter is absurd, but in the eyes of these believers of Master Mermaid:"

"The more absurd it is, the more we must believe it."

"If a miracle is something that can be understood by common sense, can it still be called a miracle?"

"This..." Lin Xinyi had nothing to say.

Indeed, those who can come to this American island to pray for God are already targeted customers who have been screened in advance.

They can even believe the absurd legend that "the long-lived mother-in-law was blessed by the mermaid and lived to be 130 years old", and even traveled thousands of miles to this remote island. Would they give up their established beliefs because of the mediocre performance of the festival?

Furthermore, the purpose of their coming here was not to watch the show.

But for the longevity of the mother-in-law.

This auspicious, living miracle is what these tourists really want to see.

Sure enough, soon...

Accompanied by the heat of the festival performance, the gate of the shrine behind the stage was slowly opened to the sound of drums.

The "longevity mother-in-law" dressed in a plain white maiden costume held a sacrificial torch and slowly walked out from behind the door accompanied by the sacrificial workers, and finally stood firmly on the high platform at the entrance of the shrine, appearing in front of a crowd of worshipers and respecters. and praying eyes.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly reached its climax.

The tourists were all excited.

Some young islanders who didn't know the truth also became excited.

Especially Naoko Heijiang and Ebihara Sumi, who didn't know what they talked about with Grandma Changshou in the shrine.

At this moment, they are far more godly and submissive than anyone else.

If it wasn't for the fact that the priest here was not happy to kowtow, both of them would probably have to kneel down to the longevity mother-in-law on the spot.

Looking at the audience, only Lin Xinyi and the others were the most sober.

Lin Xinyi had absolutely no intention of joining in the fun to pray and make a wish, but just looked curiously at the so-called long-lived mother-in-law on the stage:

"This long-lived mother-in-law is so short, almost half a body shorter than Junhui Shimabukuro..."

"Is this really played by Junhui Shimabukuro?"

"How did she manage such a huge height gap?"

"This..." Belmode carefully looked at the longevity mother-in-law on the stage with professional eyes.

Relying on her many years of attainment in disguise, she quickly understood the mystery:

"Haha, it's just a trick:"

"Have you noticed that this long-lived mother-in-law walks very slowly, and her walking posture is also very strange?"
