"Those guys used their whims to pry open the tomb and steal the mermaid bones inside."
"They think mermaid bones are also a magical elixir that can make people immortal."
The villagers and Naoko Kuroe added one sentence after another.
This answer left Mouri Kogoro and the other three speechless. There are actually people in this world who believe in mermaid skeletons.
"Then did they finally take away the skeleton?" Ye Siyu asked at this time.
Ye Siyu knew that the skeleton was Shimabukuro Kime's mother. Since Shimabukuro Kime was a mermaid, her mother should also have mermaid blood.
"No, last year my great-grandmother asked someone to secretly move the mermaid's grave to this forest and bury it." Shimabukuro Kimie shook his head.
"So, who did she ask for help?" Mouri Kogoro asked.
"I don't know, I just heard her say that he is someone she can trust." Shimabukuro Kimie shook his head.
After discovering that there were no useful clues, Mouri Kogoro said helplessly: "Whether this is a suicide or homicide, or an accident, we can only study it after we take Miss Sumi's body down the mountain first and wait for the police to arrive at the scene."
"If this is a homicide, then there must be something wrong with Shou Mei who would carry everyone to a place like this at this time." The villager picked up Shou Mei's body and said.
"Really, your fiancée just had an accident, you are so cold." Kuroe Naoko said with a sarcastic smile.
"His fiancée?" Everyone looked at the man holding Shou Mei's body in shock.
"That was a marriage decided by our parents without permission. It has nothing to do with me. Besides, my parents are long gone, so this matter cannot be counted." The villager said calmly, and then hugged Shou Mei's arms. The body went down the mountain.
"Tsk." Kuroe Naoko smiled disdainfully and opened her legs to go down the mountain.
However, just when her feet were about to hit the ground, the wooden stakes tied with ropes on the ground moved strangely to her feet.
"ah!!"
When her feet fell, Kuroe Naoko lost her balance and fell into the river next to her.
"Where is Miss Heijiang?"
"Fell into the river!"
Everyone who heard the exclamation turned around and saw that Naoko Kuroe who was standing there had disappeared. A closer look revealed that she was already in the current.
"Save people! Help people!"
Seeing this scene, everyone became panicked. They must know that the location of everyone is close to the entrance of the waterfall. If they are not pulled up quickly, the other party is likely to fall down the waterfall.
That is a waterfall nearly 40 meters high. Even people who are familiar with diving will have a high chance of being injured if they fall from that height and are fully prepared, not to mention someone like Naoko Kuroe who obviously did not do it. A well-prepared person may lose his life if he is not careful.
"Rope!" Conan said, pointing to the rope tied to wooden stakes on the ground to prevent others from falling into the river.
"Let me do it!" Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji immediately grabbed the wooden stake and threw it out with all his strength. The result was very gratifying. The wooden stake fell next to Kuroe Naoko.
"Very good!"
Seeing this scene, everyone shouted excitedly, thinking that Kuroe Naoko was saved. Unfortunately, what happened in the next second surprised everyone.
I saw that the rope that was supposed to save the other party was taken away by the current, and then wrapped around Kuroe Naoko and tied her neck directly.
Because the water flow was too fast, Kuroe Naoko couldn't even take off the rope tied around her neck.
During the struggle, she was swept directly down the waterfall.
Seeing this scene in front of them, everyone present was stunned. They did not expect that things would develop like this.
"What are you doing in such a daze? Why don't you pull her back?" At this time, Ye Siyu said quietly.
When everyone heard this, they suddenly got excited, and then began to work together to pull Naoko Kuroe up.
After a lot of efforts, everyone pulled Kuroe Naoko up, but she had no breath, and her death condition was exactly the same as Sumi's.
"This this……"
"Why does this happen..."
Everyone was shocked by what happened in front of them. It was really weird, and it looked like the death process of Shou Mei was reenacted.
"Did Sumi die like this too?" Shimabukuro Kimie said with a look of disbelief on his face.
"It should...it should be like this." Mouri Kogoro stammered, he didn't know what to say.
Because all this happened under their noses and no one intervened, he didn't think anyone could control the direction of the water flow.
Shimabukuro Kimie didn't speak, but stared blankly at the body of Naoko Kuroe. As someone who knew how Sumi died, after seeing the death process of Naoko Kuroe, she was shocked and didn't know what to do. How to say it well.
She deliberately caused Shou Mei's death, just to deceive others. She did not expect that such a thing would really happen, and the person it happened was the person she was going to kill next. This was really weird, and it made her hair stand on end. It's as if there is a hand operating it.
"By the way, take this body down with you." Ye Siyu said calmly, allowing everyone to recover from the shock.
"That's right, take the body down first." Mouri Kogoro took a deep breath and said. What happened today was really incredible. He needed time to digest and calm down.
Soon, everyone took the two corpses down the mountain and returned to the bottom of the waterfall.
"Isn't that Naoko?"
"What's up with her?"
"have no idea."
The villagers who were waiting at the bottom of the waterfall discovered that there was another corpse besides Shoumei. They suddenly became lively and started talking about what was going on.
Mouri Kogoro and the villager holding Sumi's body immediately stepped forward to explain what had just happened, which made the villagers feel incredible and booed at the same time.
"Heiji, look over there." Conan, who was observing the scene, pulled Hattori Heiji's clothes and pointed to a place not far away.
Hattori Heiji looked in the direction Conan pointed and could see a lifebuoy floating on the shore. He immediately took it over and called to Mouri Kogoro who was communicating with the villagers who went to call the police, "Uncle, look at this."
"Lifebuoy?" Mouri Kogoro was a little puzzled when he saw what Hattori Heiji was holding and didn't understand what he meant.
"This lifebuoy was originally stuck on the river connecting the waterfall and the sea. Brother Heiji and I just found it." Conan said.
"If the murderer had first let Miss Sumei die, then strangled her neck with a rope, and then used a lifebuoy to let her slide down, it would naturally result in her hanging on the waterfall. When we saw Miss Sumei at the shrine, Two hours before the fireworks were released, it took less than an hour to get to and from the top of the waterfall. This meant that this crime could be committed by both men and women, and the murderer was now hiding somewhere on the island. A place." Hattori Heiji analyzed after adjusting his hat.
Next to her, Shimabukuro Kimie's expression suddenly changed after hearing Hattori Heiji's analysis. She didn't expect that Hattori Heiji could analyze this process that was very close to the truth just by relying on a lifebuoy.
"Black boy, what evidence do you have to prove that what you just analyzed is correct?" At this time, Ye Siyu's voice interrupted Hattori Heiji's analysis.
"This is the evidence." Hattori Heiji raised the lifebuoy in his hand again and said.
Ye Siyu shook his head, then picked up the life buoy and loudly asked the villagers behind him: "Whose life buoy belongs to whom?"
"Brother... that... that's mine..." As Ye Siyu finished speaking, a timid voice came out from the crowd. When everyone separated, they could see that it was a little kid.
The child's answer made Heiji Hattori and Conan, who thought they had found the reason for the murder, were dumbfounded. They did not expect that this life preserver would be thrown away by a little kid.
"When did you throw away this lifebuoy?" Hattori Heiji frowned and asked in disbelief.
"During dinner.", the little kid replied.
"How do you prove that this lifebuoy is yours?" Hattori Heiji still didn't believe it and needed further confirmation.
"Wow~! It's mine~" Hattori Heiji's words made some submissive little kids burst into tears.
"Heiji, why are you bullying a child!" Toyama and Ye stood up and scolded, and then squatted down with Xiaolan to comfort the little kid.
"this?!"
Seeing this scene from the side, Shimabukuro Kimie and Hattori Heiji were also dumbfounded like Conan. She never expected that things would develop like this. You must know that the lifebuoy belonged to her family, not the child.
"I said Black Boy, do you have any evidence now?" Ye Siyu asked while handing the survival circle to Yuan Shan and Ye to comfort the little kid.
"I...he..." Hattori Heiji opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to explain it, so he could only close his mouth in frustration.
With this farce, the original event of the dead person ended. The villagers went home and packed up the celebration props. Mouri Kogoro and others briefly recorded the characteristics of the corpse as evidence when the police arrive tomorrow. I also plan to go back to town to rest.
"I still have something to do, you guys should go back to the hotel first." Ye Siyu said.
"Boy, are you looking for that mermaid grave?" Maori Kogoro looked at Ye Siyu and asked. He knew how much Ye Siyu liked supernatural events, and his bar had a special feature. Who has it? Ye Siyu had never heard of a supernatural case, so he could drink for free all night.
Knowing the news at that time, he racked his brains for some supernatural cases.
"So be it." Ye Siyu smiled and said goodbye to everyone.
…
"Sir, what's the matter with you?" Shimabukuro Kimie, who was arranging the villagers to sort out the celebration props below the waterfall, saw Ye Siyu walking towards her, so she asked doubtfully.
"I have something that requires your cooperation, Miss Shimabukuro, as a reward for my help." Ye Siyu was not ambiguous and went straight to the topic.
"Reward for helping me!" Shimabukuro Junhui's body was shaken. She had already thought of something. She didn't think Ye Siyu would say these strange words for no reason. Obviously, what just happened was related to Ye Siyu in front of her.
But after thinking about it, she still needed to confirm, "Sir, I don't know what you are talking about. Can you explain it in more detail?"
"The death of Heiji Naoko and the lifebuoy." Ye Siyu said directly.
"It's really you!" When Shimabukuro Junhui heard this, her eyes widened. Although she was sure based on Ye Siyu's words just now, she was still shocked after receiving Ye Siyu's confirmation.
"Yes, I wonder if you are willing to cooperate with me?" Ye Siyu asked with a smile.
Shimabukuro Kimie fell silent and fell into deep thought. After a few seconds, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."
She didn't know what Ye Siyu wanted her to cooperate with, but she knew that she was now a piece of meat on someone else's chopping board and was at the mercy of others. If she didn't cooperate, what she had done would probably be exposed.
"There's no need to show that look. What I need your cooperation to do is very simple. It doesn't require you to do anything illegal, and I won't hurt you." Looking at Shimabukuro Kimie's expression, Ye Siyu knew what she was thinking about. He added immediately.
"Are you also looking for the mermaid's grave?" Shimabukuro Kimie asked.
She didn't have anything valuable, and the most valuable thing was the mermaid's tomb, which was remembered by many people.
"I do want to find the mermaid grave, but it's not the mermaid grave you mentioned. It's just your mother's grave. I don't need it." Ye Siyu said lightly.
"You know that's my mother's grave!?" Shimabukuro June said in surprise. She didn't expect Ye Siyu to know about her mother.
"What's so strange about this? Not only me, but everyone in this village also knows it." Ye Siyu said.
"How is that possible!" Shimabukuro Kimie didn't believe it.
"If you don't believe it, you can ask anyone at random to see if they know that the person who died at that time was your mother, and they also know that you are Shimabukuro's mother-in-law." Ye Siyu directly told what should have been the last incident. What was revealed was spoken.
After listening to Ye Siyu's words, Shimabukuro Junhui immediately ran towards a villager not far away. She needed to confirm what Ye Siyu said.
A few minutes later, Shimabukuro Kimie, who had communicated with the villagers for a few words, stood there blankly. She was shocked by the truth. It turned out that everyone in the village knew that her great-grandmother had died a long time ago and she had always been pretending to be her. .
Shimabukuro Kimie didn't speak, obviously not believing Ye Siyu's words
