"Yes, that list is kept in the shrine's warehouse." Shimabukuro Kimie's eyes lit up.
Although she couldn't remember what number Monkyo Benzo drew, Ebihara Hisumi's 'three' was printed on the paper door as the winning number after she carefully confirmed it.
Absolutely impossible to go wrong!
It must have been the blessing of the mermaid who didn't admit that he was a mermaid before, so his revenge plan could go so smoothly!
"In that case, let's go to the shrine!" Conan echoed from the side, "I just happen to have a lot to ask that old lady..."
Shimabukuro Kimie: "..."
So this kid must be what the mermaid is talking about. He is indeed very annoying.
...
It started to rain the moment they stepped into the shrine.
Lightning flashed green light on the clouds as if frozen.
The six people gathered around the kotatsu, listening to the deafening thunder outside the window.
Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but sigh, "This house is really old...it seems like it didn't make a lot of money because of the Dugong Arrow."
"Of course it's impossible," Toyama Kazuha said: "I asked Ms. Shimabukuro about the number plates for drawing Dugong Arrows. Each one only costs 5 yuan."
"What? Only 5 yuan?" Hattori Heiji seemed to have heard something incredible.
Only 108 pieces, or 540 yuan, are given out each year to draw the dugong arrow number plate, but the arrow was sold by Monkyo Benzo for 1 million...
In an instant, the images of the Shimabukuro Menxie family formed a sharp contrast in everyone's senses.
"But, then again, that old lady is really slow..." Mouri Kogoro looked at the time and saw that it was already close to midnight. "If it doesn't work, let's leave first and return to the hotel quickly. , the rain outside may get heavier..."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a clicking sound of a cane hitting the wooden floor on the other side of the door, and then a pale and thin hand opened the door slightly inward...
"What do you want from me?" Changshou Po revealed half of her face from the shadow of the door. Her voice was both ghostly and somewhat bleak.
oh? Are you actually imitating the electronic sound that you used to use the voice changer to produce?
Talented, and really impressive...
In this regard, Ye Gengyi gave the other party a pretty good evaluation.
At least he himself can't freely change the timbres of various people like Shimabukuro Kime or Kuroba Kaito without relying on props.
"Mother-in-law... I'm disturbing your rest."
Conan also greeted politely first, and then asked: "I would like to know how you decided on the winning number for the Dugong Arrow?"
He is indeed a kid who likes to ask questions...
Shimabukuro Kimie pretended to be out of breath and looked up at a few people, "...I...decided casually. Sometimes I also use the winning numbers during horse racing."
It's actually casual...
Conan sweated.
It seems that the selection of numbers can only end here. For the rest, they should look at the roster...
Hattori Heiji laughed dryly, "If that's the case, then why only smoke three cigarettes a year and not just sell more?"
"There is nothing we can do about it," Changshou Po held up the few remaining silver threads at her temples and said, "Because there is not much hair left to tie the arrows to."
"Grandma!"
At this time, Shimashiro Kimie's pre-recorded voice sounded from the other end of the corridor, "I've already boiled your bath water."
Taking a shower 4 hours after the celebration? Or during this thunderstorm time?
This reason is too ridiculous...
Ye Geng thought that the point he had just given to Shimabukuro-kun for imitating the voice change was deducted because of this superfluous operation.
(눈_눈)...
So, sometimes it's not that these detectives are too smart, but that the man behind the scenes loves to be stupid?
In this regard, Ye Gengyi could only use the far-fetched "self-destruction theory" to explain away this conjecture.
"coming..."
Here, Changshou Po responded in a serious tone and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Conan hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, I have something else to ask..."
"That girl over there," Shimabukuro Kime remembered the warning from 'Mermaid-sama' and ignored the kid's question, "Yes, she's the one with hair tied..."
"Ah? I..." Yuan Shan and Ye pointed at themselves, very confused, "Old lady, what's the matter?"
"The dugong's arrow was originally an arrow used to slay demons. If it is allowed to leave the side, the demons will begin to build their nests. Men will return to the dust and turn into heartless hungry ghosts, while women will return to the water and turn into The speechless mermaid..."
Changshou Po said: "So, I advise you to keep it with you."
Is this a plan to forcefully attribute the deaths of several people to the curse?
Ye Geng glanced at Shimabukuro Kimie's back and felt that the witch had finally underestimated the two detectives, Heiji and Conan.
Thinking about it, he tapped his temple twice and said, "Xiao Bai, send me the first email I edited."
the other side,
Shimabukuro Kimie was quickly fixing her makeup. Before she could put her hair up, the phone on the side of the dressing table rang.
She quickly picked it up to confirm. It showed an unknown number, and the content was relatively short, with only two sentences:
[The traces are too heavy, don’t do unnecessary things, just give them the list. The next actions are up to me. Tomorrow, Kuroe Naoko will definitely die. 】
"Human...Mermaid?"
Shimabukuro Kimie subconsciously muttered, then remembered that there were guests in the shrine, and covered her mouth tightly.
Just when she didn't know how to express that she had seen this message, the screen of her phone suddenly flashed twice, and the email disappeared.
"Was...did I see it wrong? No, the screen of the phone is still on, and I am not insane!"
Shimabukuro Kimie blinked and picked up her phone to search again.
No...still no...
Sure enough, it is the power of the mermaid.
Thinking about it, she quickly took a few deep breaths.
While arranging her hair, she took a detour to the warehouse where the lists were stored.
Not long after, she found the list of number plates for sale this year.
Reception room.
Hattori Heiji flipped through the directory to search, while Conan leaned his head and watched from the sidelines.
Hisumi Ebihara...three.
Kuroe Naoko...One hundred and seven.
This information is clearly written on it.
The two of them continued to search.
Finally, on the last few pages, I found Monkyo Benzo’s name.
"Forty-four."
"Hmph, with this, we can directly ask that guy how he got the 'three' wood sign!"
Mouri Kogoro slammed the table and shouted: "You dare to kill people under the eyes of me, Moori Kogoro, that drunkard is too shameful!"
Mao Lilan: "..."
It's time you stopped drinking.
Conan: "..."
Hattori Heiji:"......"
Didn't you say before that Miss Shoumei died in an accident?
Shimabukuro Kimie: "..."
As expected of a mermaid, he was able to hide this from even a famous detective!
