Conan: Developing business in Kexue World

Chapter 139 The Missing Mermaid
Conan said: "But, didn't the police say that she was a middle-aged woman?"

Shimabukuro Junhui said: "Yes, they suspect that it is very likely that the tourists who missed the dugong's arrow slipped into the warehouse in order to find out whether there is a backup arrow. The main reason why the warehouse caught fire is probably the Lighting candles brings disaster."

"Later, a year later, before the identity of the corpse was found out, the shrine interred the skeleton. However, something happened later."

Maori asked, "What happened?"

"Someone came to rob the tomb." Fukuyama Rokuro said, he was very angry: "Later, there were some idiot tourists who wanted to pry open the tomb and steal the mermaid bones inside."

Heijiang Naoko said: "They say that the skeleton of a mermaid is also a panacea for immortality."

Jun Hui said: "That's why my great-grandmother asked someone to secretly move that tomb to this forest for burial last year."

Maori asked, "So, who is she asking?"

Jun Hui said: "I don't know, I only heard that he is someone she can trust."

Mao Li said: "Whether it is a suicide, a homicide, or an accident, the only thing to do is to get Miss Shoumei's body down the mountain first, and then study it after the police arrive."

Fukuyama Rokuro picked up Ebihara Sumi's body and said, "If it was homicide, there must be something wrong with Sumi who came to this place behind everyone's back at this time."

Heijiang Naoko mocked: "Really, your fiancée just had an accident, you are really cold."

Maori asked: "Fiancee?"

"It's a marriage decided by our parents without authorization and I have nothing to do with it." Fukuyama Rokuro said, he walked down the mountain with the corpse in his arms, "Besides, my father and mother have long since passed away, and this matter cannot be counted. .”

Conan immediately looked around at the strangers who had just met today, the deceased Ebihara Sumi, her fiancé Fukuyama Rokuro, shrine maiden Shimabukuro Kimie, and a short-haired Kuroe Naoko.

There must be something else going on with these people.

Come down the mountain.

When a bald man saw Shoumei, he immediately came up and hugged Shoumei's corpse, crying, "Shoumei, Shoumei——"

Maori asked, "Who is he?"

Junhui replied: "That's Shoumei's father, and Mr. Ebihara is a ship owner."

"Father." The three of Xiaolan ran over, they had just called the police.

Mao Li said: "Have you contacted the Fukui County Police?"

Xiao Lan said: "We contacted, but they said that the waves are too big now, so there is no way to come to the island for the time being."

Maori was very dissatisfied, "What are you doing?"

"That would be great." Heiji said suddenly.

When he and Conan went down the mountain just now, they left the team, and it seemed that they had found some clues.

"Eh?" Molly was surprised.

Heiji explained: "In this way, the murderer will never leave this island."

Mao Li: "Please, the murderer or something, this matter has not been determined yet, and it may not be a homicide case."

Heiji took out a yellow life buoy and said, "In this case, look at this."

"Lifebuoy?"

Conan explained: "This lifebuoy was originally stuck on the river connecting the waterfall and the river. My brother Heiji and I just found it."

Heiji reasoned, "If the murderer kills Miss Sumi first, then uses a rope to strangle Miss Sumi's neck, and uses a lifebuoy to let her slide down, she can naturally hang on the waterfall. When we saw Miss Sumi at the shrine just now, it was during the firework. Two hours before release, it doesn't take an hour to get to the falls."

Pingci turned the brim of his baseball cap straight, and said, "This means that this crime, regardless of gender, can be committed, and the murderer is hiding somewhere on this island right now."

Xiaolan looked around worriedly, "Why?"

He Ye said: "Don't worry, the murderer will be caught soon."

"Eh?"

He Yedao: "Every time Heiji turns his hat straight, it means that his motivation is fully activated."

"Oh."

Kazuha: "But you can't like Heiji."

"Huh?" Xiaolan turned her head in surprise.

He Ye blushed and bowed his head, "If I compare with you, I have no chance of winning at all."

"He Ye, you are so cute." Xiao Lan hugged her up.

Yuanzi also laughed at the side, "Xiaolan already has a crush, so don't worry about it."

Xiaolan let go of He Ye and hugged Yuanzi, "Yuanzi, you bastard, don't think that you can tease me unscrupulously just because you have a boyfriend, He Ye, let's tickle her."

"Eh? Okay." He Ye obeyed and exported to Yuanzi who was controlled by Xiaolan.

"Ahaha~ Kenta, help, ahahaha~" Sonoko was made to laugh out loud.

Kenta watched them fight with cold sweat on his face, should he go up at this time?

Heiji and Conan also put their hands in their pockets, watching them fight, speechless.

At this time, Naoko Heijiang asked Heiji: "Nah, if Sumi committed suicide, I advise you to pay more attention to that person."

Heiji looked in the direction she said, and it was the third drunken man who got the dugong's arrow.

Heijiang Naoko continued: "That person is Saori's drunk father."

Jun Hui also asked Mao Li, "By the way, you said you were going to Saori's house before, do you still want to go now?"

Mao Li squinted at the drunk man: "However, seeing her dad like that, I can't ask why."

"Ha." Jun Hui also looked at Saori's father.

Conan suddenly said cutely: "So, can we go to see the longevity woman now?"

Jun Hui was taken aback for a moment, and then agreed: "Of course there is no problem."

Everyone followed Junhui to Shimabukuro's house.

Jun Hui asks everyone to sit down in the house first and bring hot water.I went to call Longevity Po.

Everyone sat down on tatami, with a low table in the middle.

Mao Li looked at the simple decoration inside the house and said, "This house is really old."

Pingci answered: "I can't see it at all, they made a lot of money from the dugong arrows."

He Yedao: "What nonsense are you talking about? Those number plates only cost 5 yen each."

"5 yuan?" Heiji was surprised.

He Ye continued: "And the residents on the island also said that it has always been like this since before."

Xiaolan said: "It is said that they will put 180 number plates in a big box, and after the guests line up, they will draw them out one by one. In the end, the longevity woman will choose three numbers from them."

"How do you two know so much, ah, you explored alone behind my back?" Yuanzi puffed up his mouth and said jealously.

Xiaolan complained: "It's not that you and Kenta went out together today, and you blamed us."

"Hey? Is that so?" Sonoko stuck out her tongue.

At this time, Mao Li complained: "Why did that old woman delay for so long?"

Xiaolan said: "Actually, Jun Hui said just now that she would try to call her mother-in-law, but after all, she must be tired from today's celebration, and may not be able to see us."

Conan remained silent for a while, because the tea stem in the cup in front of him stood up.

In Neon, tea stalks stand up, implying that good things will happen.But this cannot be told to others, otherwise it will not be effective.

Da~da~da~
At this time, a strange sound came from outside.

Kenta asked: "Listen, there seems to be a voice."

Everyone listened with pricked ears, "Yeah? What kind of sound is that?"

Suddenly, the paper door of the room opened.

The big face of Changshou Po appeared in front of everyone. She had a big nose with several age spots on her face, her hands were full of wrinkles, and she was leaning on a short crutch.

It was really scary to look at it suddenly, and the three girls backed away in fright.

No, Mori and Heiji were also frightened.

Pingji still complained silently, after removing the makeup, he looked even more like an old monster.

Longevity woman asked: "Are you guys looking for me?" Her voice was hoarse and unpleasant.

Conan asked: "Well, what method did you use to determine the lottery number that won the Dugong Arrow?"

After Conan asked, Longevity Lady remained motionless, and Conan crawled closer, "Excuse me, that..."

Longevity Po spoke suddenly, but Conan shrank back.

"Sometimes I also use the numbers drawn in the horse race draw, hehehehe." The longevity lady let out a barbell-like laugh.

Pingji was also in a cold sweat, "Since this is the case, you don't need to give away only three arrows a year, you can sell a few more dugong arrows, isn't everyone happy?"

"That's impossible." The old woman pulled one of her own hairs and said, "I have very limited hairs to tie those arrows with."

"Great-grandmother, I'll put away your bath water." Jun Hui's voice came from outside the room.

Hearing this, the old lady turned around, "I'm sorry, if you have nothing to do, I'm going to take a shower and go to bed."

"But we haven't finished yet..." Conan said hastily.

"That's right, the little girl over there."

The three were stunned.

"I mean the one with the hair tied."

He Ye pointed to himself, "About me?"

"The dugong's arrow was originally a treasured arrow that exorcises evil spirits. Once you let go, monsters will build a nest on your body. If it is a man, it will sink into the ground and become a heartless hungry ghost. If it is a woman, it will enter the water. Become a mermaid who cannot speak."

"So I advise you to take it with you for the last moment!" After speaking, the long-lived woman leaned on a crutch and left.

He Ye's face turned pale with fright.

Conan poked his head out, so it turned out that he left with his crutches supporting the floor.And looking at it now, she is even smaller than me.

He Ye looked at Changshou Po's back in a little bewilderment, still wondering what she meant by saying these words to him?
Pingji also poked her head out and complained: "Oh, her voice is hoarse, and her complexion is terrible. I don't think this old woman will live long."

Sonoko asked, "Is there really a mermaid in this world? Why do you feel that the atmosphere on this island is weird?"

"Don't worry, you have to believe in science!" Kenta glanced at Heiji. Where he appeared, the cases became weird, and they were often related to mysterious elements such as ghosts.
