Take photos and fix the evidence.
The body of Naoko Kuroe was placed on the floor of the mourning hall by Kogoro Mori.
Upon seeing this, Fukuyama Rokuro hurriedly walked over, but was stopped by Shimabukuro Kime.
Now that she was about to become a believer in 'Mermaid Lord', she naturally didn't want to see her innocent little boy offend him.
As a result, those scale-like mirrors seemed to be a barrier separating the two realms of Yin and Yang, with only the God of Death, the God of Plague and Black Skin standing inside the circle.
Hattori Heiji said: "There were bruises and spots on the jaw and face, and there were traces of being strangled with a rope on the throat. No other external injuries were visible."
"Well, it was indeed due to suffocation," Mouri Kogoro added: "Judging from the body spots and the stiffness of the muscles, the death time should not exceed 2 hours..."
"Besides, I really didn't bring the Dugong Arrow with me," Conan said and was the first to react. He suddenly looked back, "Where is Mr. Men Xie?!"
When the guests who came to express their condolences heard this, they quickly looked around, and sure enough they did not see the drunkard.
When Shimabukuro Kime saw this, she subconsciously clenched the phone in her pocket.
Got caught by the mermaid again...
Second email this morning:
[After Naoko Kuroe's body was discovered, Benzo Kadokyo would leave Ebihara's house. During this period, he might have thought of going to the shrine to steal the roster. Be careful with Kadokyo Saori's body, she is still useful. 】
"Damn it!" Mouri Kogoro raised his eyebrows, "That guy couldn't have realized that the situation was bad and just ran away!"
"Even if he runs away, he can't leave this island now," Hattori Heiji responded helplessly, "Have you forgotten, the storm on the sea has not stopped, and it has started to rain again."
"You idiot," Mouri Kogoro said dissatisfied: "He may be absconding with murder. If he takes the risk and goes to sea, it is not impossible!"
"No, I suggest it's better to go to his home and have a look." At this time, Fukuyama Rokuro finally couldn't help it and said: "Although he is also a fisherman, he has been drinking for several years since he started drinking. Time no longer goes to sea.”
"In that case, let's go look for it separately." Ye Gengyi said: "Mr. Maori and Heiji went to Mr. Menxie's house, and I asked the fishermen on the island to take me to the port to confirm the number of ships."
"Okay! Let's set off as soon as possible!" Mouri Kogoro did not doubt that he was there and made the decision immediately.
Several people separated in front of Ebihara's house.
On the road.
The two detectives, one black and the other small, were frowning, and most of their thoughts were focused on the method of committing the crime.
The biggest suspect is, of course, Monkyo Benzo.
Although Miss Naoko's body was hung above the mourning hall from the beginning, it was indeed a major mistake in their search.
However, mirrors and dim environments.
These two conditions alone were enough for them to think of several ways to use optics to cover the corpse.
"There is no doubt! Monkyo Benzo must have carried out this serial murder for the sake of the 'Dugong Arrow'!"
Mouri Kogoro said: "The rope, body and mirror were passed through the herringbone ladder. Before we went to Mr. Ebihara's house, they were placed on the beam by him. The emails on his mobile phone are evidence!"
"Then why didn't he delete the email?" Conan asked.
"Also..." Hattori Heiji was also full of doubts, "What was his purpose of hanging Miss Naoko's body in the mourning hall? Since he could invite someone out, why not just go to a remote place?" Is it better? The mirror will break when it is subjected to a certain degree of pressure, and then the body will fall down. It is just like showing off one's killing methods... Knowing this, you still carry two dugong arrows with you. Do you want it? So stupid!"
"You two are really stupid!"
Mouri Kogoro raised his finger and explained: "He didn't delete the email, he must have forgotten..."
Forgot...forgot?
Heiji and Conan rolled their eyes, expecting the uncle to say some "famous reasoning", but it turned out that they were too naive...
"Hey, what kind of expression is this!"
Mouri Kogoro was angry: "Have you forgotten how Miss Sumi died?"
"How could I forget," Heiji curled his lips, "She was caught around the neck by the rope on the guardrail, and then was washed under the waterfall by the current..."
"Yeah, it looks like a mermaid swimming upstream..." Mouri Kogoro said with a serious expression, "Where's the mermaid?"
"Uh...you mean..."
"That's right! The murderer...that is, Monkyo Benzo, deliberately used the same technique. This time he used the mirror fragments as fish scales. As for the reason for doing this..." Mouri Kogoro dragged his chin and muttered Said: "Maybe he is a guy who is very fanatical about mermaids."
Hattori Heiji was silent. Although he was doubtful about this reasoning, he still turned around and warned: "Kazuha, don't leave my side until the truth comes out..."
Coast Port.
Two or three fishermen, together with Ye Gengyi, confirmed that the number of fishing boats had not decreased, and then used flashlights to look for traces of Monkyo Benzo nearby.
One of them said: "I can't believe that Benzo guy would do such a thing..."
Another person murmured, "If he hadn't been an alcoholic, his daughter wouldn't have run away from home all the time."
"Hey..." the third fisherman sighed, "The Dugong Festival has become like this. Maybe it should have been stopped three years ago."
The topic suddenly stopped here.
Ye Gengyi could feel that those people glanced at this foreigner calmly.
three years ago?
When Shimabukuro Kimie's mother was burned to death, why did she think that the dugong celebration should stop at that time?
Could it be...that there was more than one person who knew that the witch was pretending to be a longevity woman?
Thinking of this, Ye Gengyi continued to pretend to be looking for footprints, and quietly stayed away from the people for a while.
After adjusting the wave frequency of the hidden headset, it turned out to be true.
I heard three ordinary people over there who had no sense of investigation start chatting again:
"Jun Hui has not had it easy these past years..."
"Yes. Even if her mother is dead, Jun Hui is still trying her best to pretend to be a longevity woman for the development of the entire island..."
"Sigh... Think about it this way, if that guy Benzo was killing people for the 'Dugong Arrow', maybe we were wrong to hide the truth from the beginning... Let everyone realize as soon as possible that longevity is basically based on An unrealistic fantasy, maybe..."
Ye Gengyi listened to their whispers and was silent for a moment. He directly inserted the newly learned information into the plan and conducted a detailed review...
Fortunately, nothing needs to be changed.
Even if Changshou Po's identity is exposed, there will be no flaws according to his original plan. After all, they only know who the person who died in the fire three years ago is, but they don't know who set the fire.
As for now... just continue as planned, fill in Shimabukuro Kimie's loopholes, and let Monkyo Benzo take the blame.
