"Kid, what's wrong?" Mouri Kogoro asked.
"Look at this..." Conan walked over and handed the phone to several people.
Hattori Heiji took it and saw the email about meeting Naoko Kuroe.
"What else do you have to argue with now!" Mouri Kogoro said sternly: "Hey! What did you do to Miss Naoko?"
"What's wrong?"
Monkyo Benzo leaned over to look at his phone, and then asked with confusion on his face: "Who sent this?"
"You still don't admit it, could it be..."
Instantly, a bad thought flashed in everyone's mind.
Miss Kotobuki lost her Dugong Arrow number plate and was hanged on a waterfall. Will Miss Naoko also...
"Damn it! Tell me what you did to this person!" Fukuyama Rokuro yelled.
The movement on their side naturally attracted the attention of the guests who came to express their condolences.
"Maybe someone is nearby..."
At this time, Ye Gengyi's voice suddenly came over.
Several people in the yard were startled.
"Yes, time! Since he has been drinking all night, if he really did something to Miss Naoko, the scene cannot be too far away from here..."
After Conan finished speaking, he rushed into the mourning hall, followed by Hattori Heiji and Mori Kogoro, and the others immediately followed after seeing this.
Although the rooms without candles were dark due to power outages and weather, the light from the flashlights was still enough for everyone to see clearly what was inside.
From the inside out.
In about ten minutes, the entire Ebihara mansion was roughly inspected by everyone.
However, Kuroe Naoko was still missing.
Is it the seaside?
Conan immediately thought of another possibility.
He and Hattori Heiji looked at each other and ran out without hesitation.
It’s such an energetic age...
Ye Gengyi looked at the backs of the two of them. He didn't need to follow them, but he knew that the result was destined to be futile.
Kuroe Naoko is naturally dead, but due to a misunderstanding in their thinking, they have been unable to find her for the time being.
Last night, when sending emails with Shimabukuro Kime, Ye Gengyi also found out the reason why the other party wanted revenge through insinuations.
According to rumors, the mermaid who died in a warehouse fire three years ago was actually Shimabukuro Kimie's biological mother, and the three children who grew up with her burned her alive out of their enthusiasm for mermaids. ...
Although Ye Gengyi never claimed to be a good person, after knowing the whole story, his mood was different after all.
After another ten minutes, everything was as he expected.
Naturally, Kuroe Naoko was not at the beach. When Heiji and Conan returned to Ebihara's home, their faces were as gloomy as the sky outside.
"Damn you guy," Mouri Kogoro glared at Monkyo Benzo angrily, "It's time to stop joking. What happened to Miss Naoko?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about!"
Monkyo Benzo was not afraid at all, and said in a provocative tone: "Hurry up and return the dugong arrow to me!"
In his mind, if something falls on the ground, no one wants it, and whoever picks it up belongs to him!
"you..."
A certain tool man was obviously shocked by the other party's shamelessness.
Seeing that the two sides were in a stalemate, the funeral on Ebihara Hisumi's side still had to go ahead.
Many guests began to come forward to smooth things over, hoping that they, the foreign guests, could wait until the police arrived to handle the matter.
Mouri Kogoro had no choice but to compromise temporarily.
After condolences, it’s time for dinner.
In order to get back his dugong arrow, Monkyo Benzo simply sat at their table.
The atmosphere is weird.
But in the end, no one started a dispute again.
"Hey, Kudo... If this uncle is really a murderer, wouldn't it be too strange?" Hattori Heiji always felt that this incident was full of weirdness.
"Yes... But we still have to find a way to find Miss Naoko first," Conan also frowned and said in a deep voice: "Suppose someone really killed Miss Sumi and Miss Naoko one after another, and then let that person It’s not impossible for the money-hungry uncle to pick up the wooden signs and arrows and take the blame..."
"..."
A silent breakfast.
While eating, it started to rain again.
Gray clouds completely covered the sky.
Someone had forgotten to close the door to the main hall earlier, and the moist and cool cold wind blew into the room. The flames on the candlesticks seemed to have come to life and began to beat and move violently.
"What, this damn weather..."
Because the back was against the door and window, the atmosphere was a bit strange. Benzou Benzou stood up with a murmur. In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on him.
"I'm going to close the door!" he yelled angrily.
Before he took two steps, suddenly the joints of his legs seemed to be stabbed by something.
"Ouch!" Todosuke Benzo stumbled. In order to stabilize his body, he stepped heavily on the floor with his legs a few times, and then made a muffled sound of "bang bang".
At the same moment, similar noises were heard from the mourning hall.
"Isn't it closed over there?" someone asked.
"Go over and have a look..."
Everyone stood up one after another, but the next second, a "crash" sound, which seemed to be the sound of glass breaking, came from the mourning hall again.
"Quick! Something must have happened!" Conan shouted with a serious expression and took the lead in rushing over.
Here, Monkyo Benzo was a little hesitant. He was just about to join in the fun when suddenly an email came from his phone:
[Dad, if you don’t want the Dugong Arrow incident to be exposed, come find me at Mermaid Falls. ——Menxie Yarn]
...
This way.
Conan pushed the door open without saying a word and walked in.
In front of the mourning hall, at the end of the broken glass on the ground, Ebihara Hisumi's father was sitting there paralyzed, staring blankly in front of him.
However, from Conan's perspective, it was impossible to see clearly the specific situation over there for a while.
Several detectives, regardless of the mess, bypassed the barrier and came to the front of the spiritual tablet.
Look up.
There was a hemp rope hanging straight down from the beam of the ceiling, and Naoko Kuroe was hanging from it. Her appearance... was exactly the same as the way Hisumi Ebihara died.
The glass fragments on the ground reflected the dim light of the candles, like fish scales...
"That is..."
Everyone couldn't help but gasped when they saw this.
"Damn it! Put him down quickly!"
Mouri Kogoro's eyes narrowed and he quickly ran over to find the knot.
However, the result once again made everyone feel inexplicable palpitations, because the hemp rope actually hung directly from the beam.
In other words, if you don't rely on climbing objects such as ladders, and unless the perpetrator can fly, it is absolutely impossible to hang the body at such a high place. Moreover, the mirror fragments on the ground are...
Helpless, everyone had to find a ladder.
"Mr. Ebihara, did you see any strange figures just now?" Conan asked.
"No...I was standing here looking at my daughter's portrait, and suddenly I heard the sound of something breaking on the ceiling, and then...then...she..."
Mr. Ebihara pointed to Naoko's body and said: "She just fell down..."
