Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

In the evening, when Eilao Yuan's family had a funeral, most of the islanders came here to hang themselves in black clothes. The atmosphere was solemn and a little heavy.

Gao Cheng also changed into a borrowed suit and brought Hui Yuan into the venue with Uncle Maori and his party.

Although I have been accustomed to seeing death in this world, I have not participated in the funeral a few times. The last time it seemed to be the Moon Shadow Island incident, and I was just watching as a passerby, far less heavy than being a party.

At the entrance of the entrance, Uncle Maori took the lead in signing the registration office, and Hattori and Heye followed behind in student uniforms.

"Fortunately, we brought our uniforms, didn't we He Ye?" Hattori looked at Gao Cheng's borrowed suit and said with joy.

"That's not good, isn't it?" He Ye Xiao said, "We will disturb others..."

"You think too much. We can just take this opportunity to inquire about things on the island."

"Hello," Gao Cheng reminded from behind, "Hattori, don't mumble, now we are watching the night for Miss Sumi."

Bringing student uniforms to the funeral...Could this fellow Hattori be mentally prepared before coming to Mermaid Island, right?

Entering the inner hall of the Shouling, several people are already kneeling on the futon inside. Junhui Shimadai and Rokuro Fukuyama, even the drunk dad of Saori...

"Mr. Mori?" Shimadai-kun Hui stood up in surprise, "Are you here too?"

"Yeah," Uncle Maori nodded with a smile, and looked around in confusion, "Huh? Why didn't you see Miss Naoko? Her name is on the roster."

Shimadai Junhui said unexpectedly: "Naoko is here? But she didn't even notice..."

"Did you go back again?" The uncle grabbed his hair and didn't care too much. He knelt down on the futon and sat down.

Gao Cheng didn't sit down, looked around with a calm face, and opened the wooden door leading to the corridor yard.

On a fishing net opened in the dark night, Nasuko's face was horribly wrapped around the net like a dried Buddha, and the sand was full of messy footprints.

It's too late...

Gao Cheng narrowed his eyes and turned on the flashlight. Amidst the exclamation of the people in the mourning hall, he walked to the front of the corpse with the Hattori and inspected the scene while taking pictures for evidence.

"Death time is less than an hour... The cause of death was suffocation caused by strangulation of the neck..." Gao Cheng said after seeing the body.

"What is left on the sand is the footprints of slippers and boots," Hattori also squatted to check, "Ms. Naoko who was killed was wearing slippers here, so these boots should be the murderer's..."

"Look here," Conan shouted when he found an arrow mark beside his footprints, "this one should be the mark of the arrow of dugong, right?"

"Indeed," Hattori thought, "Judging from the traces of the slippers stepped on, the arrow of the dugong may have fallen when Naoko had a dispute with the murderer, and was stepped on again... so the murderer's goal is The arrow of the dugong?"

Uncle Maori lifted the fishing net surrounding the hospital and followed the footprints and said: "Anyway, if you follow the footprints of the boots, you should be able to know the route of the murderer's escape..."

Gao Cheng stood aside with his hands in his hands, his eyes followed the footprints of his boots on the sand, and he looked straight to the undulating beach not far away.

He had seen it for the first time, these footprints stretched into the sea, and there was no way to pursue them...

There will be no gains if you continue to investigate.

The most important thing now is the connection between the serial killings. I don't know if it was a coincidence. It turned out that all the five people who were killed were those who had been killed, and they all seemed to have drawn the arrow of the dugong.

First, Kamenwaki Saori, who lost the arrow of the dugong and feared revenge, then Sumi Eihara, who is likely to draw the arrow of the dugong, and finally Naoko, who was robbed of the arrow of the dugong...

Scenes from the beginning of the incident flashed in Gao Cheng's mind, and everyone's words flashed past his ears, and the picture was fixed on the trembling longevity woman.

"It depends on the situation," the longevity woman grinned, "I sometimes use the horse racing numbers to draw, haha."

"There are a lot of number cards in a big box, everyone line up to draw, one for each...Then the old lady will pick out three of these numbers during the festival..."

"Later, because tourists heard about the tomb of the mermaid, my grandma asked someone to secretly move the tomb into this forest last year..."

"As long as the longevity woman knows where the mermaid tomb is..."

"By the way, do you want to try your luck too?" Junhui Shimadai took out two number plates and asked Xiaolan and Heye, "This morning an old couple just returned the number plates temporarily, so I There are two more here..."

...

All the information gathered together and turned into a ray of light.

Gao Cheng opened his eyes, his eyes tightened slightly.

The key to the case is the longevity woman...

"Huh?" Hattori, who was searching with a flashlight, suddenly whispered, "There seems to be something shiny beside these footprints...is it fish scales?"

Conan stayed beside the corpse like Ko Sung, and heard Hattori's voice and said, "If it is really fish scales, there are two or three pieces of Naoko's clothes on it!"

"You guys!!" At this time, a group of police officers with flashlights suddenly ran on the other side, shouting loudly, "What are you doing there?"

"What? Of course it is investigating the case..."

"That's the job of our Fukui prefectural police!"

"Uh."

Uncle Maori and Hattori angrily followed Gao Cheng back to the mourning hall and handed over to the police to take over the on-site investigation.

The people waiting in the corridor, especially Xiaolan and Heye, hurriedly asked: "Did the murderer's footprints really disappear on the beach?"

"Well... the police are currently comparing the footprints and styles of those boots," Hattori looked at the busy police forensic officers, "walk along those footprints, there are still some scales on the ground..."

"Fish, fish scales?!"

He and Ye and Xiaolan hugged each other in horror.

"Could it be...is the murderer a human or a mermaid?"

"Fool, how could a mermaid wear boots?" Hattori said silently, "This is just a small gesture to deliberately mislead everyone. I think the murderer may have walked along the coastline all the way, and then I made an appointment with Miss Naoko. We met next to her fishing net, and after the attack, we walked back along the coastline, the footprints were washed away by the waves, and it looked like this..."

"But then again," Uncle Maori asked, "has anyone seen Miss Naoko leave the mourning hall?"

Shimadai Junhui shook her head and said, "I don't know... when I came, she was no longer in this room..."

"Mr. Kadowaki, how about you? Your name is signed behind Miss Naoko..."

"I did not see."

There was a drunken hiccup on the shaggy door side.

"When I came in, I was the only guest who came here for the offering..."

"That said," Uncle Maori thought, touching his chin, "Miss Naoko arrived here first, and then did she go to the net?"

Conan stood quietly on the side without interrupting, but looked strangely at Gao Cheng who was also silent: "Jioto, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing."

Gao Cheng shook his head and ate the chocolate.

There are still some things that need to be figured out...

Conan's mouth twitched slightly: "Does it need to bring chocolate every time I come out?"

"Oh, this. It's better to have strawberry milk or something, but it's not easy to bring." Gao Cheng handed over the chocolate box to Conan. "Want? You can only eat one..."

Huihara turned his head and smiled slightly beside him.

...

In the living room of Eilaohara’s house, the guests who came to the night watch gathered to dine together. The Fukui prefectural police also took the opportunity to conduct a search to investigate whether the murderer who snatched Naoko’s dugong’s arrow was among the people who came to the hanging ceremony. The only ones with arrows are Monwaki and Waha, which were obtained in the festival.

Gao Cheng didn't feel that such investigations were of any use, but some of the statements made by the islanders were rather strange.

Someone saw the missing Saori appear near the Mermaid Falls during the festival...

"Is it really Miss Saori herself?" Hattori asked suspiciously.

"Absolutely can't be wrong," the islander affirmed, "because on our island only her hair is dyed brown and she wears glasses, and Saori always wears blue clothes..."

"If it is true," Hattori said solemnly, sitting at the table, "Miss Saori should be hiding something, so she can't show up in front of everyone...Kido, do you see anything? "

Conan ate the sushi and said, "There is no clue. What can be determined now is the first murdered Miss Sumi, this time Miss Naoko and Miss Saori who are missing... Everyone believes that they have eaten mermaid meat. The strength of that longevity woman, and he is very attached to the arrow of the dugong..."

"Yes," Hattori looked at Dad Saori who was drinking on the opposite side, "I also think that the three of them were killed or fled around because they were involved in the arrow of the dugong... If we could know Miss Sumi last night What's the number of your number plate..."

Shimadai Junhui was sitting right next to him and said with a smile: "This is easy, because I will mark everyone with each number on the roster. Do you want to look at that roster now? Because of this. I haven't checked it yet..."

"Of course!" Hattori said in surprise, "It's great!"

"The roster..." Gao Cheng paused slightly.

"Ah? Going to Miss Junhui's house?" Uncle Maori was so drunk that he had to be supported by the Hattori to barely stop when he was found.

Xiao Lan was worried and helpless: "Really, Dad, cheer up!"

"I didn't drink much..."

Bringing Uncle Maori and staggering away from Ebina's home, everyone went through a forest of strange noises to Shimadai's home where the shrine was located.

Hui Yuan and Gao Cheng walked at the end with his hands on his back, and everyone behind his back whispered: "Miss Saori's luggage is the only medical insurance card, have you noticed? Did you find any problems? strange……"

"This serial killing incident seems to have been planned from the beginning," Gao Cheng looked at the people leading the way. "And the things that Miss Saori was witnessed are also very problematic. It would be too strange if it was to avoid anyone. ,I am afraid……"

"It was the murderer in disguise, right?" Huihara answered, "Do you already know who the murderer is?"

"Almost a little bit," Gao Cheng's expression was slightly embarrassed, "but there is already a little speculation."

At Shimadai's house, Shimadai Junhui took a group of people to a room and flipped through the cabinet to look for the roster.

"It's weird, I clearly remember that I should have kept things here..."

"Can't find the roster?"

"Well, only this year's is missing..."

"Could it be taken away by the old woman?" Hattori asked for help.

Shimadai Junhui shook his head and said, "Impossible..."

Conan asked, "Does anyone else know that you put things here?"

"Almost everyone on the island knows it, because everyone often reads the names of celebrities in the roster," Junhui Shimadai said helplessly, "I will look for it in other rooms..."

"Miss Junhui," Gao Cheng said, "may I see the longevity woman?"

"Huh?" Shimadai Junhui said in a daze, "great-grandmother should be asleep now, can I ask for you tomorrow?"

"Ok."

Gao Cheng didn't force it, but watched Junhui Island and Xiaolan and Heye go to other rooms to look for the roster, and then checked the other roster.

Each number corresponds to a person's name, which is clear at a glance.

If there is this roster, it will be easy for someone to draw the arrow of the dugong, Ebinahara Sumi, Naoko and even Kazuha. It is not entirely coincidental or lucky to draw the arrow of the dugong.

As for the roster lost at this time...

"Ok?"

Gao Cheng accidentally opened a page of the roster and noticed the name "Shiho Miyano" on it.

From the corner of Hui Yuan's eyes, Yu Guang glanced at the roster: "It's just the same name and surname, don't make mistakes."

Gao Cheng wondered: "I haven't said anything yet..."

"Miyano Shiho?" Conan approached curiously, unexpectedly, "Speaking of which is indeed your real name, Huihara, but you don't look like the kind of person who wants to be young and beautiful forever, hehe..."

Huihara said flatly, "Compared to this, don't you think someone might have stolen the roster in advance? At the banquet, someone heard that you are coming to check the roster..."

Hattori put down the other roster in his hand: "Are you talking about Mr. Kadowaki? I know, I must be afraid that it is Miss Sumi who really got the arrow of the dugong to be exposed!"

Gao Cheng put down the roster, it is normal for Menxian to steal the roster. The old drunkard did not know if it was a coincidence in this incident. He actually became the biggest suspect because of the dugong arrow. Once the roster was discovered, he might be regarded as a murderer by the police. arrest……

"Heiji!"

He Ye hurried back to the room and said anxiously: "Just now we saw a woman in the yard with dyed brown hair and glasses...Could it be that Miss Saori?"

"What?" Hattori asked in surprise, "Where is she?"

"I don't know, because she ran away right away..."

"Here again..." Gao Cheng frowned and walked out of the room, seeing only He Ye and Xiaolan in the corridor.

"Strange, where's Miss Junhui?"

"She went out through the back door," Xiaolan said, "because she said she was going to the rebuilt warehouse to look for..."

"She's going alone?"

"Well," He Ye nodded, "Originally we said we would go together, but she said we will be back soon, let's go back here first..."

Gao Cheng's face changed~www.NovelMTL.com~ His thinking started to spin again, all the clues were connected in a line in his mind: "Where is the warehouse?"

"what?"

He and Ye were taken aback, and hurriedly pointed to the shrine outside the courtyard.

"Well, it seems to be behind that shrine..."

Across the shrine, the sky on the other side has been illuminated by the fire, making it particularly eye-catching in the dark night.

Ignoring the explanation, Gao Cheng opened the glass doors and windows and ran towards the shrine warehouse.

No wonder it was a bit strange at first, but Junhui Shimadai was the murderer.

The puzzle has been solved...
