Among the cases that most anyone who calls himself a detective would most like to solve... is the locked room murder case.
However, so-called secret rooms often have shortcomings that are difficult to make up for. A detective is a creature that can discover those details, peel off the cocoons, and find key evidence.
Therefore, instead of being too obsessed with the impossible, it is better to use the information gap to create an alibi for yourself.
Time returns to early morning.
It was not difficult for him, an organizational leader, to add double insurance to Hattori Heiji's sleep and use the makeover card to leave the hotel quietly.
What Ye Gengyi is really worried about is whether Kuroe Naoko will keep her appointment and go alone to the street not far from Ebihara's house.
This is the most critical and difficult point in his entire plan.
Of course, even if it fails, Kuroe Naoko, who has been installed with a tracking device, will still die. However, it will not be as gorgeous as the funeral hall, so... shocking.
Maybe it's out of curiosity, or just a passion for mermaids.
In short, the lucky guy who drew the number 17 has really arrived.
Early in the morning, 4 o'clock sharp.
The heavy rain all night and the unique smell of the seaside filled the air.
Kuroe Naoko tightened her sweater. Her greed and desire for immortality brought her here alone.
"Is... was it an email from you?"
Kuroe Naoko looked at the black shadow in front of her, her voice trembled a little, perhaps because of excitement and fear, but mostly because the weather was too cold.
Ye Gengyi said nothing, but took the lead and took two more steps deeper into the alley.
"Hey! You said in your email that Sumi is still alive. Is that true?" Kuroe Naoko followed up without hesitation and lowered her voice: "You said she had eaten mermaid meat. You said...then... You gave her the meat!”
"Want to check?" A low electronic synthesizer sounded.
Kuroe Naoko was startled, then nodded quickly.
Ye Gengyi was very satisfied with her reaction and took her into the yard of Ebihara's house.
Sadness and fatigue, coupled with two sleeping gases, are enough to give these wakers a good night's sleep.
Afterwards, Ye Gengyi asked Kuroe Naoko to sign her name on the visitor list.
In the mourning hall, the expression of this short-haired woman was particularly ferocious.
She glanced at the photo hanging in the center, and finally her eyes fell on the coffin.
"Where's Sumi?"
"Of course he's dead."
"You..." However, before the word 'lie' could be uttered, Kuroe Naoko felt a pain in her neck and fainted.
He was strangled with a hemp rope, and the nanorobot acted as a pulley. It only took Ye Gengyi less than 5 minutes to arrange the scene.
Later, when the email luring Monkyo Benzo was sent, a cadre of a certain organization had already wiped away all traces of his arrival and returned to the hotel to sleep.
...
"Put out the fire! Hurry...put out the fire quickly!"
Time returns to the present.
When Shimabukuro Kime led several people to the backyard.
The warehouse where Men Xie Shazhi's body was hidden had completely burned down.
The flames soared into the sky, illuminating the sky extremely brightly.
The fire was completely irreversible, and the warehouse burned for several hours. Only after all traces were burned did everyone find a charred corpse inside.
"Are you sure she is Men Xie Shazhi?" Ye Geng asked.
"Well, although it's impossible to tell from the face, I can barely tell that the deceased was wearing glasses and his height was similar to Saori..." Many firefighters on the island gave confirmation replies.
Conan on the side looked annoyed when he heard this.
Damn it... I was actually deceived by that drunkard!
Ming Ming had already grasped the clues that Monkyo Benzo was selling dugong arrows, but he still failed to stop that guy from killing people for money!
"But... didn't Monkyo Benzo go to the back mountain? How did he set the fire?" Some islanders asked.
"That's not easy," Conan said with a gloomy face, "Just move the diesel into the warehouse in advance and prepare a simple ignition device."
"Well..."
The person who asked the question was scolded and didn't know what to say.
"Sorry, this kid usually likes to watch TV shows like this," Ye Gengyi turned his head, "Xiaolan, could you please take Conan somewhere else?"
"okay!"
Mao Lilan, who was accompanying Shimabukuro Kime over there, quickly came over and took a certain elementary school student away from the scene.
Ye Gengyi also followed the situation. When passing by a certain witch, he warned: "Since you are tired, go back to your room and rest first."
He wasn't worried about anything else, just to prevent the other party from going crazy and laughing out loud...
"Well..." Shimabukuro Kimie managed her expression very well. All her emotions were kept in her pocket, the hand still holding the phone tightly.
That's right, things haven't ended yet, so you can't be careless...
"I wonder how dad and the others are doing."
Mao Lilan looked at the mountain in front of him with some worry.
"The police are all gone, there won't be any problem." Ye Gengyi said, putting his hand on Conan's head, who was feeling unhappy, "If you feel uncomfortable, go back and rest."
Of course, the concern must be fake. In his heart, this kid fell ill directly. It would be best until they left Mermaid Island...
"No, I have to wait for uncle and the others to come back from here!"
Since there is no way to go to the mountains to find someone, staying here and waiting for first-hand information is a detective's last insistence.
"whatever."
Ye Gengyi looked up at the sky that was gradually clearing.
His eyes were full of depth.
He was thinking in his mind whether it would be possible for Monkyo Benzo to be freed of his guilt after being arrested.
The first is the suspicion of stealing the 'Dugong Arrow' and the 'Medical Card'. The former can be directly investigated by the police, while the latter... is even simpler. Burn it, throw it into the sea, tear it into pieces and flush it into the sewer. In any case, It is impossible for anyone to spend a lot of time looking for traces of that card.
Of course, even if you find it, it's meaningless.
In this way, the drunkard should not be able to clear away the suspicion of murdering Men Xie Shaori.
Secondly, there is Ebihara Hisumi who was hung in Mermaid Falls.
The Dugong Arrow that Monkyo Benzo exchanged for that number plate, as well as the roster that may still be on him at this moment, are irrefutable evidence. As for the swimming ring, the same...it is also a matter of finding and not finding it. I found physical evidence that was not much different.
In the end, it was Naoko Kuroe who was killed by him himself.
This would be even more difficult for Monkyo Benzo to defend.
Ye Gengyi wanted to use this more gorgeous technique to make everyone, including Heiji and Conan, change their impression of Monkyo Benzo from a bad drunkard into a scheming and planning guy.
As for how greedy a person would be before he would come all the way from an izakaya to get tricked by an email, that was beyond Ye Gengyi's consideration.
He slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, it was just as usual.
At the end of the review, it seems that this trip to Mermaid Island has yielded some results.
