Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

? Above the waterfall is a gloomy forest, and the turbulent river water falls straight down the cliff.

Gao Cheng was standing on the bank of the river silently with his watch flashlight, watching Hattori pull up the hanging female corpses from the waterfall.

The deceased Ebara Sumi, 27 years old, was the daughter of a fisherman in the village and also the fiancée of Fukuyama Rokuro. It was preliminarily determined that the cause of death was that his neck was entangled with a rope tied to a wooden stake...

"Hey!" Hattori looked at Gao Cheng who was sitting on the sidelines, his eyelids collapsed, "I said you can't help?"

Gao Cheng said in a huff: "Don't you know that I hate touching corpses?"

Hattori's face was even darker: "Why are you a detective afraid of death? You haven't touched it before..."

"You are here now."

Gao Cheng glanced across the waterfall scene.

There are many wooden stakes nailed along the river, and there is a warning sign that says "Danger". The rope around the deceased Sumi’s neck was tied to the wooden stakes to prevent danger...

How could Ebinabara Sumi come to such a place? Something happened...

"I can't read it wrong," Uncle Maori observed while holding the stake. "Miss Sumi may have fallen into this river in the dark. Although she was holding the rope, the stake was pulled up because of the rapid current, and she was struggling. When he was wrapped around his neck by a rope, he finally evolved into a hanging posture and fell into the waterfall..."

Lulang Fukuyama nodded gently and said: "It is indeed very possible that it has been raining here in the last week, the water level of the river has risen, and the ground is muddy everywhere, so the wooden stakes are easier to loosen..."

Gao Cheng shook his head helplessly, and looked at Uncle Maori, "I said, uncle, don't you think it is weird? The festival is obviously held by the pool below the waterfall. Why is she running here at this time?"

Uncle's head is a little stuck: "Uh, this..."

"Is she here to find the mermaid's cemetery?" Naoko, a gift shop clerk, answered, "The mermaid's cemetery is in this forest..."

"What?" Everyone was surprised when they heard this.

"On the day when the festival was held three years ago, the mermaid bones found when the shrine warehouse was on fire were buried in the tomb of that elder brother," Naoko said, "right, Junhui?"

"Ah, yes," Shimadai Junhui regained his senses, "I only thought of hearing what you said, Shou Meixiang has always cared about that cemetery..."

Gao Cheng looked at Fukuyama Lulang and asked, "Is it really a mermaid bone three years ago?"

"I don't know very well," Shimadai Junhui said uncertainly. "Although everyone on the island said so, but the policeman from the island said it was the scorched corpse of a middle-aged woman..."

"It's nonsense!" Naoko reacted strongly. "That skeleton can only say that with the bones below the waist, right?"

Everyone was stunned: "What's wrong with the waist below?"

Fukuyama Rokuro stood up and explained: "Because there are two or three big burnt pillars in the warehouse that just crushed the bones below the waist of the charred corpse. After removing the pillars, he found that the charred corpse had no feet. That’s why it was reported on TV that the body of a mermaid was found here... The longevity woman became a celebrity overnight."

"What about the police?" Gao Cheng continued. "Didn't the police say that it was the body of a middle-aged woman? Didn't you find who it was?"

Shimadai Junhui lowered his head: "The police said it might be a tourist who did not draw a dugong arrow at the festival. They thought there was a spare arrow in the warehouse, so they lit a candle and sneaked in to find it, and it caused a fire... After a year, the identity of the deceased was still not found, so we buried the skeleton...

"Later, because tourists had heard about the mermaid grave, they came to robber the tomb. Last year, my grandma asked someone to secretly move the tomb into this forest."

Gao Cheng glanced over the people present, and saw the expressions on the faces of the people including Junhui Shimadai.

Whether it was the fiancé of the deceased Eirahara Sumi, or as a young Naoko, they all looked quite calm.

Rokuro Fukuyama can be said to be indifferent, not at all sad because of the death of his fiancée, Naoko is more concerned about mermaids, but Junhui Shimashiro's face is not very good, but it is also difficult to say that there is no suspicion...

What a coincidence, the missing Saori Kadowaki, the murdered Sumi Ebara, plus these people, they all grew up playing.

There is also the unnamed middle-aged female corpse that was treated as a mermaid three years ago. It took a year for the police to find the identity, which is too suspicious.

Unless there are no family members or come here without telling them, it is impossible to find no clues...

This case is really a mystery.

"What's the matter?" Huihara returned to the festival site below the waterfall with Gao Sung with his hands on his back. "Are you the great detective helpless?"

"How, how is it possible?!" Gao Cheng frowned, "My current detection rate is still 100%, and there are no unsolvable cases... But then again, where are Hattori and Conan?"

"I went to investigate," Hui Yuan walked to the front of Gao Cheng, "just when you were in a daze."

"I'm not in a daze..."

Gao Cheng looked uncomfortable with his eyes collapsed, and he was a step slower than these two guys.

"Dad!" Xiaolan took He Ye back to the scene, "The police on this island said that the sea is too windy and the ship can't sail, so there is no way to come here..."

"Isn't this great?" Hattori appeared immediately and walked with Conan. "Because the murderer can't escape from this island..."

Uncle Maori slumped his face: "Don't talk about the murderer or the murderer. It's still not sure if he killed him..."

Hattori smiled and handed a swimming ring to the uncle: "Then look at this, this life buoy is me and Kudo...Ah, I discovered it by accident. It was hung in the waterfall pool on the way to the river leading to the sea..."

Conan stared at the service department with a stinky face, and echoed: "Brother Heiji also asked the people on the island, and they all said that they didn't see this thing during the day."

"That is to say," Hattor turned his baseball cap straight with a chuckle, and his eyes fiercely said, "If Sumi-san died at the waterfall, then put the rope around her neck, and then put her on the lifebuoy to float, whatever Anyone can put up the illusion of hanging...

"Furthermore, we saw Sumi-san at the shrine. It has been a long time since we found her body. Everyone has a chance to commit a crime. Anyone, regardless of sex, can do it...The murderer must still be on the island!"

Gao Cheng narrowed his eyes, and silently turned to a bald uncle who was crying bitterly on the other side holding the corpse of Eilaohara Sumi.

I am afraid that this murder has not yet ended. The motive was either for the fire three years ago or for the arrow of the dugong...

Seeing people's enthusiasm for dugongs and mermaid graves, the latter is not impossible. After all, Saori Kamenwaki and this time Ebina Sumi got the arrow of dugongs.

"Don't worry, Xiao Lan," He Yela whispered to Xiao Lan, "The murderer will be arrested immediately! Because every time he puts his hat back on, it means that he switched on the switch and the engine started at full speed. That's it!"

Gao Cheng's face twitched: Don't just throw me aside subconsciously. Why must Hattori solve the case first?

"Cough!" Gao Cheng coughed dryly and turned to the drunk who was still drinking, Saori Kamenwaki's father.

"Mr. Kazuwaki, can I ask you something?"

"Huh?" The drunkard put down the bottle, drunkly squinted at Gao Cheng, and said in dissatisfaction, "What are you doing?"

Gao Cheng looked straight and said: "When I was at the shrine before, Miss Sumi seemed to have drawn the arrow of the dugong, but now not only is she killed, but the number plate is gone..."

"What's my business?" The drunkard hummed ~www.NovelMTL.com~The number plate is my own! I don't know what happened to that woman! "

"Hey," Naoko watched the drunk staggering away, and leaning close to Gao Cheng, whispered, "If you really want to say that Sumi was killed by someone, you'd better stare at this old drunk. I think he stole Saori's dugong arrow..."

"Really?" Gao Cheng looked at the drunkard and shook his head secretly, "Ms. Naoko, you should be careful next, and if you can, go with us."

"Don't worry, I will pay attention," Naoko laughed, "and I still have the dugong arrow to protect it."

Conan put his hands in his trouser pockets, stood beside him quietly, waited until Naoko walked away, and said to Gao Cheng: "What should I do now? Do you want to ask about Miss Saori?"

"I'm afraid I can't ask what her dad looks like." Gao Cheng said helplessly.

"Then let's see the longevity woman," Conan suggested, "I have a lot to ask that old lady..."

"Oh? Do you want to go too?"
