Everyone looked at the departing Changshou Granny, and Hattori Heiji vomited:
"The voice is hoarse and the face is pale. I don't think this old woman will live long."
"My face is so bad, I really can't tell that she is an old woman with an immortal body."
Mouri Kogoro muttered.
He Ye's face was not much better. He was frightened by Changshou Po's words and turned pale. He felt vaguely afraid in his heart, feeling that if the Dugong Arrow left his side, something bad might happen.
"Heye, what's wrong with you?"
Xiaolan noticed something was wrong with Heye and asked quickly.
"I'm fine".
Kazuo smiled reluctantly.
Everyone also saw that He Ye might be worried because of what Changshou Po said just now.
"He Ye, that dugong arrow has no curse or magical power. It is just an ordinary arrow, so don't take it to heart what Changshou Po said."
When Koizumi Anko saw the Dugong Arrow being awarded at the ceremony, she felt it carefully and found that the Dugong Arrow had no trace of magic and was just an ordinary arrow.
If the dugong arrow is really the arrow of the forbidden curse, then there must be some special change, but in fact this arrow is just an ordinary arrow.
Moreover, Koizumi Hongzi did not feel any fluctuations in Changshou Po's body, and the ordinary ones could no longer be ordinary.
When Hattori Heiji heard what Koizumi Anko said, he looked at Kazuha and mocked: "You are really a big fool. You believe what the old woman said. She is obviously deceiving."
"I didn't believe it." Of course He Ye would not admit to being scared.
It happened that at this time, a voice came.
"Master, I saw the longevity woman return to the house, take off her disguise, and confirm that it is Shimabukuro Kime, and the voice just now was recorded in advance."
After hearing what Geng Gui said, Situ Xiu thought to himself.
It was getting late, and everyone was planning to go back to the hotel and bid farewell to Shimabukuro Kimie.
.......
9 pm.
Situ Xiu and his party found a seafood restaurant, had dinner and returned to the hotel where they lived.
There is no progress in the case. There is only one clue, which is the life preserver, which proves that it may be homicide.
Before preparing to rest, Situ Xiu asked Gengar to pick up Squirtle and Gotha Duck. When the two elves came back, they said that they had not seen any mermaids near the island.
The night passed and nothing happened.
The next morning, after everyone finished eating, Conan, Hattori Heiji, and Mori Kogoro went to investigate the case of the deceased last night, while Situ Xiu and his group were playing on the island.
It's around 1 p.m.
Outside a gift shop, Haiyuan Ai patted Situ Xiu on the shoulder, pointed at a man at the intersection ahead, and said, "That man seems to be the one who was hit by a dugong's arrow yesterday."
"Xiao Ai, let's go over and take a look."
Situ Xiu took Haibara Ai's little hand and walked over. Today Conan and the others were going to visit their client, Kadowaki Saori, and that man was Kadowaki Saori's father, Kadowaki Benzo.
Huiyuan Ai rolled his eyes at Situ Xiu, "If you want to go, go alone. Why are you taking me with you?"
She said: "My sister is still in the store, why don't you say hello to them?"
"It's okay. They feel at ease with me here. No one dares to abduct a child," Situ Xiu said with a smile.
bad boy.
Haiyuan Ai had a black line on her forehead. She didn't mean this, but she had to greet the adults wherever she went and couldn't act without permission.
Kadowaki Benzo walked on the street for a while and entered an izakaya. Situ Xiu and Haibara Ai followed closely behind.
Izakaya seems to have the name of wine, but it is also a place to eat, and children are not prohibited from entering.
At this time, some tourists were having drinks in the store. Situ Xiu and Haiyuan Ai found an empty seat to sit down and ordered some food.
After Kadowaki Benzo entered the house, he glanced around and walked towards a man who was drinking alone. The two of them were talking in a low voice.
After a while, Kadowaki Benzo walked towards a man and a woman at another table.
Hui Yuan Ai asked curiously: "What is he doing?"
"I think... he is probably selling dugong arrows. Judging from the people he found, they are all tourists on the island," Situ Xiu said.
"Selling dugong arrows?"
Haibara Ai's eyes lit up, as if he thought of something, and said, "Kadowaki Saori's dugong arrow is missing. It's possible that her father sold the arrow."
"It's very possible." Situ Xiu nodded.
There are only three dugong arrows a year. Such a rare thing is seen as a profit-making thing by others. As long as someone needs it, the price will naturally come out. The premise is that someone believes that the arrow is endowed with divine power.
In the izakaya, Kadowaki Benzo walked around the dining tables, and the last one started drinking. However, when new visitors came in, they would come up to communicate.
"I don't know what price he sold it for," Haihara Ai said.
"Let's go, we've finished eating, there are no more clues if we continue reading."
Situ Xiu settled the account and left with Hui Yuan Ai.
After returning to the hotel, of course there was a Chinese lesson. Situ Xiu waved his hand helplessly, this sister is so qualified.
This scene made Hui Yuan Ai laugh. There are still people that little brats are afraid of.
After a while, Conan and his party came back, and Situ Xiu told him what he had just seen Kadowaki Benzo selling dugong arrows in an izakaya.
Mouri Kogoro asserted: "It seems that Kadowaki Benzo is very suspicious. His daughter's dugong arrow may have been secretly sold by him. And having tasted the benefits, his mind turned to yesterday's celebration and waited for an opportunity to kill Ebihara Hisumi. Then grab the winning numbers”.
"It seems to make sense"
Hattori Heiji looked surprised. This time, Mouri Kogoro's analysis was correct. He had the same idea as him, but the more he did this, the more he felt something was wrong.
The confused uncle's thinking should be opposite to his. This is the correct reasoning.
Conan and his three men didn't find anything today, but they found out that there would be a wake at Ebihara Hisumi's place in the evening. They wanted to visit and investigate the situation on the island.
........
Around 7pm.
Situ Xiu and his party of seven went to Ebihara's house. As for Miyano Akemi and Haibara Ai, they stayed at the hotel. They did not want to participate in the case.
After Maori Kogoro registered, they entered the house. Situ Xiu observed that there were many guests, most of whom were residents of the island.
Entering a room with incense candles placed above, Situ Xiu saw three people in the room, all of whom were old acquaintances from the celebration, Shimabukuro Kimie, Kadowaki Benzo, and Fukuyama Rokuro.
"Hey, Mr. Mori, are you here too?" Shimabukuro Kime said in surprise.
"Um"
Mouri Kogoro nodded, and then asked: "By the way, why didn't you see Miss Naoko? Her name was obviously on the registration."
"Ah? Is Naoko already here?" Shimabukuro Kime was confused.
At this moment, there was a sudden loud noise.
"Boom...".
The loud thunder was deafening, and accompanied by a flash of lightning, a black shadow suddenly appeared on the paper door, flying like a bat.
It's just that...this black shadow is very big.
"what is that".
"It looks like a strange shadow."
Conan and Hattori Heiji immediately opened the door. Outside the glass window in the corridor, a man knelt on the ground, his hands spread to both sides, hanging on the fishing net behind him.
"Boom..." Thunder boomed, and lightning streaked through the sky one after another, lighting up the earth.
Everyone finally saw clearly that the person looked like Naoko Kuroe whom Kogoro Mouri had mentioned before.
Another dead person.
Situ Xiu took a breath. The vigil at the funeral had just begun, and another person died. This person was one of the winners at last night's celebration.
The Ebihara family's house is close to the seaside. Their family is a fisherman, and their backyard is a beach and the sea.
Mouri Kogoro found a flashlight, and then went to the body to check. Hattori Heiji and Conan quickly followed.
At the same time, the guests attending the funeral knew that someone had been killed on the beach in the backyard. They came to the backyard one by one, crowded in the corridor to watch, and discussed in low voices.
At the murder scene, Hattori Heiji took a flashlight to inspect the body, while Mouri Kogoro took out a camera to take pictures and record the condition of the deceased.
"The time of death was less than an hour ago. He was probably strangled to death and then moved to this net."
"The two types of shoes on the sand are slippers and boots. Miss Naoko is wearing cool slippers. The boots should belong to the murderer."
Just as the two were deducing, Conan suddenly said: "Look, are these the traces of dugong arrows that were stepped on?"
"Is that arrow the murderer's target?" Hattori Heiji walked over, shining the electric light on the ground, looking at the deep arrow marks in the sand, and suddenly remembered that Situ Xiu had said in the afternoon that Kadowaki Benzo might be selling arrows.
Could it really be him?
There were several shoe prints on the sand. One of the shoe prints contained a long arrow, which was deeply imprinted in the sand.
The three analyzed that this might be the murderer accidentally stepping on a dugong arrow during a dispute with Naoko.
"Hey, there are scales on the ground here."
Hearing the sound, the three of them looked over. Situ Xiu came to the sand from the corridor at some unknown time.
The three of them immediately walked over and saw something shiny on the ground. They reached out to pick it up and looked carefully at it, which looked like scales.
"Look at the footprints in the sand going all the way to the seaside, plus the scales, this must be a mermaid killing someone," Situ Xiu said with a serious face.
Mermaids kill people?
The three of them chuckled, someone must have framed the mermaid.
Bah, bah, bah... There were no mermaids in the first place, but someone wanted to frame the mermaids.
Next, when they were about to continue investigating, a voice came from a distance: "Hey, what are you doing there?"
Then he saw a light getting closer and closer, and more than a dozen police officers appeared. Mouri Kogoro said quickly: "We are investigating a case."
"Nonsense, that's the job of our Fukui Police Station," the leading man scolded.
Situ Xiu and his party didn't say much and left immediately. Since the investigation was almost done, the scene was left to the police.
"What, fish scales?" He Ye looked shocked.
"Could the murderer be..." Xiaolan looked nervous.
"Mermaid?" Heye hugged Xiaolan tightly in fear.
"Idiot, how could a mermaid wear boots? This is obviously blaming the mermaid..."
Hattori Heiji was interrupted before he could finish his words. Situ Xiu said bluntly: "I have seen mermaids wearing shoes."
"What!!" Xiaolan and He Ye hugged each other in fear.
Conan rolled his eyes and said hehehe...
"Xiaoxiu" Koizumi Hongzi said: "Don't scare them."
Situ Xiu waved his hands helplessly. He had really seen mermaids wearing shoes, in the world of mermaids.
The police asked everyone about the case at the murder scene. Hattori Heiji also asked everyone if they had seen Naoko, but the answer was that no one had seen it.
Then Hattori Heiji secretly asked some people what Kadowaki Benzo did after he came here, but they all said they didn't pay attention, or some said they were sitting at the wake.
The victim lost the dugong arrow, and the police also searched everyone's bodies. Only Kazuha and Kadowaki Benzo had the dugong arrow with them, and no one else did.
"There are still no important clues. If we can determine who got the number plate, we might be able to know more," Hattori Heiji pinched his chin and said.
"yes"
Conan glanced at Kadowaki Benzo. Two murders had occurred in succession, and one person was missing. The entire case revolved around the Dugong Arrow.
“It can actually be found”
Shimabukuro-kun paused and continued: "In order not to get the numbers on the number plates wrong, the name of the number plate holder is written in a register every year. This time it is because of these things that happened, so I still There was no time to check the winners."
"Roster?" Conan was stunned for a moment and asked quickly: "Can I see the roster now?"
"Of course," Shimabukuro Kime smiled.
Situ Xiu and his party immediately followed Shimabukuro Kime to her house. From the exchanges on the road, they learned that Shimabukuro Kime, Sumi, Naoko, and Saori were classmates from elementary school to university, and they even filmed together in the school film club. Had a movie.
At this time, the chat group was discussing murder cases in the world of Conan.
Huang Rong: "It seems that all the spearheads are pointing at Kadowaki Benzo, but there is still one person who has not appeared. It is not possible to tell who the murderer will be at the moment."
Bulma: "I don't believe that Kadowaki Benzo would kill his own daughter for money."
Zhong Shan: "It's hard to say. Kadowaki Benzo's performance is so disappointing. He is a father, but he is drunk all day long. He doesn't even care about his daughter's disappearance and doesn't even look for him. Such a person Unworthy of being a father, sorrow”.
Chongzhen Zhu Youjian: "If this person Kadowaki Benzo were in my world, he would be torn into pieces."
Mao Xiaofang: "This case is different from previous cases. It is too difficult."
Shangguan Yan: "I think this case may be related to Kadowaki Saori, but I am not saying that the murderer is her, but that Kadowaki Saori appears, and the truth of the case may be revealed."
Nami: "Why do I feel like the dugong arrow is an arrow of disaster? All the people who died are related to this arrow."
The others dived deep in thought.
.........
Shimabukuro Kimie's home.
"Master, I just saw a figure running away from here," the invisible Gengar said.
Situ Xiu looked around and said softly: "Go and see what's going on."
"Yes" Gengar responded and flew out.
In a room, Shimabukuro Kimie was rummaging through the cabinets to find the roster. Standing beside him were Hattori Heiji and Conan.
"It's strange, I clearly remember putting it here," Shimabukuro Kimie said while rummaging through the cabinet.
"Is the roster missing?" Hattori Heiji asked.
"Yes, only this year's one is missing." Shimabukuro Kimie nodded.
"Would it be taken away by that old woman?" Hattori Heiji said.
"That's impossible," Shimabukuro Kime said casually.
Conan looked around the room and said, "Does anyone else know where you keep your things?"
"Well... almost everyone on the island knows it."
Shimabukuro Kimie stood up and said, "To be cautious, I'll look in another room."
After saying this, Shimabukuro Kime walked towards the door of the room, and Xiaolan said quickly: "Then I'll come and help you look for it together."
"I'm here to help too...".
Koizumi Hongzi and Kazuye also walked out, and the four of them went to other rooms to look for the roster.
In the room, Conan sat on the floor, flipping through the previous roster to see if there was anything missing.
Situ Xiu walked over, picked up the roster and looked at it. Hattori Heiji beside him had already started reading it.
Suddenly, Hattori Heiji said: "Wow, many of these names are political figures in Tokyo. No wonder the Dugong Arrow is so valuable. It seems that many people want to have immortality."
"Of course, no one wants to die." Situ Xiu smiled and flipped through the rosters in his hands. These rosters were recorded from previous celebrations.
Huh!
Situ Xiu was stunned and his eyes widened when he saw Miyano Shiho's name on the roster.
Have people from the black organization ever been to this mermaid island?
At this moment, a scream came from outside the house.
"ah.......".
