Chapter 512 Someone must have framed the mermaid(1/2)

Everyone looked at the departing Changshou Granny, and Hattori Heiji vomited:

"The voice is hoarse and the face is pale. I don't think this old woman will live long."

"My face is so bad, I really can't tell that she is an old woman with an immortal body."

Mouri Kogoro muttered.

He Ye's face wasn't much better either. He was frightened by Changshou Po's words and turned a little pale. He felt vaguely afraid in his heart, feeling that if the Dugong Arrow left his side, something bad might happen.

"He Ye, what's wrong with you?"

Xiaolan noticed something was wrong with He Ye and asked quickly.

"I'm fine".

He Ye forced a smile and said.

Everyone also saw that He Ye might be worried because of what Changshou Po said just now.

"He Ye, that dugong arrow has no curse or magical power. It is just an ordinary arrow, so don't take it to heart what Changshou Po said."

When Koizumi Anko saw the Dugong Arrow being awarded at the ceremony, she felt it carefully and found that the Dugong Arrow had no trace of magic and was just an ordinary arrow.

If the dugong arrow is really the arrow of the forbidden curse, then there must be some special change, but in fact this arrow is just an ordinary arrow.

Moreover, Koizumi Hongzi did not feel any fluctuations in Changshou Po's body, and the ordinary ones could no longer be ordinary.

When Hattori Heiji heard Koizumi Anko's words, he looked at Kazuha and mocked: "You are really a big fool. You believe what that old woman said. It's obviously a lie."

"I didn't believe it." Of course He Ye would not admit that he was scared.

It happened that at this time, a voice came.

"Master, I saw the longevity woman return to the house, take off her disguise, and confirmed that it was Shimabukuro Kime, and the voice just now was recorded in advance."

After hearing Geng Gui's words, Situ Xiu thought to himself.

It was getting late, and everyone was planning to go back to the hotel and bid farewell to Shimabukuro Kimie.

.......

9pm.

Situ Xiu and his party found a seafood restaurant, had dinner and returned to the hotel where they lived.

There is no progress in the case. There is only one clue, which is the life preserver, which proves that it may be homicide.

Before preparing to rest, Situ Xiu asked Gengar to pick up Squirtle and Gotha Duck. When the two elves came back, they said that they had not seen any mermaids near the island.

The night passed and nothing happened.

The next morning, after everyone had finished their meal, Conan, Hattori Heiji, and Mori Kogoro went to investigate the case of the deceased person last night, while Situ Xiu and others were playing on the island.

It's around 1 p.m.

Outside a gift shop, Haiyuan Ai patted Situ Xiu on the shoulder, pointed at a man at the intersection ahead, and said, "That man seems to be the one who was hit by a dugong's arrow yesterday."

"Xiao Ai, let's go over and take a look."

Situ Xiu took Haibara Ai's little hand and walked over. Today Conan and the others are going to visit their client, Kadowaki Saori, and that man is Kadowaki Saori's father, Kadowaki Benzo.

Haiyuan Ai rolled his eyes at Situ Xiu, "If you want to go, go alone, why are you taking me with you?"

She said: "My sister is still in the store, why don't you say hello to them?"

"It's okay, they feel at ease with me here, no one dares to abduct a child," Situ Xiu said with a smile.

Naughty kid.

Haiyuan Ai had a black line on her forehead. She didn't mean that, but she had to greet the adults wherever she went and couldn't act without permission.

Kadowaki Benzo walked on the street for a while and entered an izakaya. Situ Xiu and Haibara Ai followed closely behind.

Izakaya seems to have a wine name, but it is also a place to eat, and children are not prohibited from entering.

At this time, some tourists were having a drink in the store. Situ Xiu and Haiyuan Ai found an empty seat to sit down and ordered some food.

After Kadowaki Benzo entered the house, he glanced around and walked towards a man who was drinking alone. The two of them were talking in a low voice.

After a while, Kadowaki Benzo walked towards a man and a woman at another table.

Haiyuan Ai asked curiously: "What is he doing?"

"I think... he is probably selling dugong arrows. Judging from the people he found, they are all tourists on the island," Situ Xiu said.

"Selling dugong arrows?"

Haibara Ai's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something, and said, "Kadowaki Saori's dugong arrow is missing. It's possible that her father sold the arrow."

"It's very possible." Situ Xiu nodded.

There are only three dugong arrows a year. Such a rare thing is seen as a profit-making thing by others. As long as someone needs it, the price will naturally come up. The premise is that someone believes that the arrow is endowed with divine power.

In the izakaya, Kadowaki Benzo walked around from table to table, and the last one started drinking. However, when new visitors came in, they would come up to communicate.

"I don't know what price he sold it for," Haihara Ai said.

"Let's go, we've finished eating, there are no more clues if we continue reading."

Situ Xiu settled the account and left with Hui Yuan Ai.

After returning to the hotel, of course there was a Chinese lesson. Situ Xiu waved his hand helplessly, this sister is very qualified.

This scene made Hui Yuan Ai laugh. There are still people who are afraid of little brats.

After a while, Conan and his party came back, and Situ Xiu told him what he had just seen Kadowaki Benzo hiding in an izakaya selling dugong arrows.

Mouri Kogoro asserted: "It seems that Kadowaki Benzo is very suspicious. He may have secretly sold his daughter's dugong arrow. And having tasted the benefits, his mind turned to yesterday's celebration and waited for an opportunity to kill Ebihara Hisumi.

Then grab the winning numbers”.

"It seems to make sense"

Hattori Heiji looked surprised. This time, Mouri Kogoro's analysis was correct, and he had the same idea. But the more he did this, the more he felt something was wrong.

The confused uncle's thinking should be the opposite to his. This is the correct reasoning.

Conan and his party didn't find anything today, but they did find out that there would be a wake at Ebihara Hisumi's house in the evening. They wanted to visit and investigate the situation on the island.

........

Around 7pm.

Situ Xiu and his group of seven went to Ebihara's house. As for Miyano Akemi and Haibara Ai, they stayed at the hotel because they did not want to participate in the case.

After Maori Kogoro registered, they entered the house. Situ Xiu observed that there were many visitors, most of whom were residents of the island.

Entering a room with incense candles placed above, Situ Xiu saw three people in the room. They were all old acquaintances from the celebration, Shimabukuro Kimie, Kadowaki Benzo, and Fukuyama Rokuro.

"Hey, Mr. Mori, are you here too?" Shimabukuro Kimie said in surprise.

"Um"

Mouri Kogoro nodded, and then asked: "By the way, why didn't you see Miss Naoko? Her name was obviously on the registration."

"Ah? Is Naoko already here?" Shimabukuro Kimie was confused.

And at this moment, there was a sudden loud noise.

"Boom...".

The loud thunder was deafening, and accompanied by a flash of lightning, a black shadow suddenly appeared on the paper door, flying like a bat.

It's just...this black shadow is very big.

"What is that".

"It looks like a strange shadow."

Conan and Hattori Heiji immediately opened the door. Outside the glass window in the corridor, a man knelt on the ground, his hands spread to both sides, hanging on the fishing net behind him.

"Boom boom..." Thunder boomed, and lightning streaked across the sky one after another, illuminating the earth.

Everyone finally saw clearly that the person looked like Naoko Kuroe whom Kogoro Mouri had mentioned before.

Another dead person.

Situ Xiu took a breath. The vigil at the funeral had just begun, and another person died. This person was one of the winners at last night's celebration.

The Ebihara family's house is close to the seaside. Their family is a fisherman, and their backyard is a beach and the sea.

Mouri Kogoro found a flashlight and went to the body to check. Hattori Heiji and Conan quickly followed.

At the same time, the guests attending the funeral knew that someone had been killed on the beach in the backyard. They came to the backyard one by one, crowded in the corridor to watch, and discussed in low voices.

At the murder scene, Hattori Heiji took a flashlight to examine the body, while Mouri Kogoro took out a camera to take pictures and record the condition of the deceased.

"The time of death was less than an hour ago. He was probably strangled to death and then moved to this net."

"There are two types of shoes on the sand, namely slippers and boots. Miss Naoko is wearing cool slippers, and the boots should belong to the murderer."

Just as the two were deducing, Conan suddenly said: "Look, are these the traces of dugong arrows that were stepped on?"

"Is that arrow the murderer's target?" Hattori Heiji walked over, shining the electric light on the ground, looking at the deep arrow marks in the sand, and suddenly remembered that Situ Xiu had said in the afternoon that Kadowaki Benzo might be selling arrows.
