At night, the sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder was rolling incessantly.
Suddenly, a series of lightning struck in the sky.
In the yard of Ebihara Hisumi's house, illuminated by this series of bright lightning rays, a man's hands were tied to the fishing net that separated the yard from the sea, and he was kneeling on the ground with his head lowered.
In the corridor, Conan, Hattori Heiji and the others looked at the people on the fishing net, their expressions changed, and their expressions became serious: "That person is...Miss Kuroe Naoko?!"
"Xiaolan and Heye, you two are staying here and don't allow anyone to enter the yard. Let's go take a look first!"
"Okay, okay." Xiaolan and Kazuha still looked a little panicked. Conan, Hattori Heiji, Koshizui Nanatsuki, and Uncle Mouri walked down the corridor together, and quickly ran to Naoko Kuroe, and then Hattori Heiji reached out and touched Naoko's neck, shook his head with a complicated expression and said:
"Damn it! Miss Naoko has no pulse...she is dead!"
"Damn it! Which bastard did this?" Uncle Maori cursed bitterly, then turned to look at Conan who was circling next to the corpse, and hit Conan on the head with a "duang" punch:
"Kid! Don't hang around the corpse! Also, it looks like it's going to rain soon. You go to Xiaolan and ask for the camera. We'll do a simple on-site investigation first!"
"Um, okay."
Conan answered while covering the knot on his forehead, and walked towards Xiaolan and Kazuha in the corridor. Uncle Mouri, Koshimizu Nanatsuki and others came to the body together and observed carefully:
"Look, there is a strangulation mark on the deceased's neck, and her pupils are dilated and painful, and her tongue is hanging out... She must have been strangled to death!"
"That's right." Uncle Maori nodded, holding his chin and said, "Looking at the way she was tied up, it is unlikely that she was tied up first and then strangled to death. The murderer should have strangled Miss Naoko first, And then tied to the fishing net. But it’s really strange. After the murderer killed someone, why did he tie the body to the fishing net?”
After Uncle Maori finished speaking, Koshikoshi Nanatsuki narrowed his eyes, and then suddenly said quietly:
"Perhaps it's because the murderer wanted her to turn into a mermaid?"
"Become a mermaid?" Hattori Heiji and Uncle Mori were stunned when they heard this. Then they couldn't help but look at Naoko's feet and asked in surprise: "Detective Koshimizu, are you kidding me? What turned into a mermaid?" Mermaid?”
"Don't you know?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki turned to look at Hattori Heiji and the others, and replied, "According to legend, the eight hundred nuns lived by eating mermaid meat hanging on fishing nets... The way she looks now, isn't it? Is it similar to that legend?"
"What?" Hattori Heiji was stunned when he heard this, and his face suddenly changed, "I remember that the legend about the dugong arrow told by the longevity woman was that once the dugong arrow is let go..."
Before Hattori Heiji finished speaking, Conan's serious voice suddenly came from beside him: "...The monster will build a nest on the owner's body. If it is a man, it will be buried in the ground and become a heartless evil spirit. If it is a woman, it will Entering the water, he became a mermaid who could not speak. The murderer was probably using this legend to kill people, so he deliberately arranged the corpse like this, right?"
After Conan finished speaking, Uncle Mori, Nanatsuki Koshizui, and Hattori Heiji all looked at him. Conan also realized that he was a little complacent again, and quickly scratched his head and said with a cute smile:
"Isn't that right! Uncle Maori! Also, I brought the camera!"
"It has nothing to do with you kid! Give me the camera, and you can go aside and play!" Uncle Maori scolded angrily, while Koshimi Nanatsuki smiled and said:
"Don't be so excited, Mr. Mori. Although Conan is young, he still has good observation skills. Let him help too..."
"Besides, it has started to rain. Let's survey the scene quickly..."
…
At seven o'clock in the evening, the pier of America Island.
As Koizumi Hongzi's yacht docked, the staff at the dock immediately came forward to help moor the boat. At the same time, they also asked Shu Yunwen about their voyage with concern, and even cursed a few words such as "don't want your life" and "blind". Bullshit" or something.
Shu Yunwen and the others also knew that the staff was doing it for their own good, so they smiled without being annoyed. Then they noticed that there seemed to be a lot of people talking not far away, and they couldn't help asking strangely:
"Who's that over there?"
"Those people! They are the detectives from the Fukui Prefectural Police. They have just arrived. They should be handling the case of Sumei's murder. Mr. Kobayashi from the village office and the others are responsible for entertaining..."
Shu Yunwen was a little surprised: "What? Did the police investigating the case just arrive now?"
"Yes!" The staff member glanced sideways at Shu Yunwen and the others and complained, "The waves on the sea are so strong that the police have to consider the safety of the boat. They are not like you and don't know how high the sky is and how high it is..."
Shu Yunwen and the others laughed awkwardly again, said goodbye to the staff, walked to Xiao Lin Zhengshu and Uncle Yi Piaozi, waved and said hello:
"Hello Mr. Xiaolin."
Hearing Shu Yunwen's voice, Kobayashi Masaki turned his head and looked with a look of joy on his face: "It's you! I heard that you sailed out to sea rashly today. I was shocked. It's so great to see that you are okay. Okay... By the way, your friends are also worried about you, and they called just now to ask about your situation..."
Shu Yunwen was stunned when he heard this: "My friend? You mean Mr. Maoli and the others?"
I didn’t expect them to be worried about us!
"Where are they now?"
Kobayashi Masaki smiled and replied: "Mr. Mori and the others just arrived at Ebihara's house to burn incense and keep vigil for Miss Touumi. The police officers and I are planning to go there. Do you want to go there together to report that everything is safe?"
After Kobayashi Masaki finished speaking, Tsukamoto Sumi immediately suggested from the side: "Yunwen-kun, let's go there too, and by the way, we can offer incense to Miss Sumi..."
"Well, okay." Shu Yunwen thought for a while and nodded, "Then let's go to Ebihara's house first, and then go back to the hotel to rest!"
After listening to Shu Yunwen's words, Kobayashi Masaki immediately said: "I remember that you are staying at the American Forest Hotel, right? The Ebihara family is on the way to the hotel, so we happened to be on the way."
"Really? That would be great."
Shu Yunwen and Kobayashi Masaki were polite. Suddenly, Kobayashi Masaki's cell phone rang.
Kobayashi Masaki was stunned for a moment, then he quickly apologized, walked a few steps to the side, answered the phone, and after a few "uh-huh" sounds, his voice suddenly became louder:
"What are you talking about? Naoko was killed at Ebihara's house? Is this true?"
Next to him, Shu Yunwen listened to Kobayashi Masaki's words, and after a moment of confusion, there was a black line on his forehead——
What the hell! We remember what Kobayashi Masaki said just now, Conan, Hattori Heiji, and Uncle Mori have just arrived at Ebihara's house, right?
As soon as these guys arrived at Ebihara's house, a murder occurred, and the God of Death teamed up to appear. It was really extraordinary! ~
