"......"

"She's talked to Maya a few times before, but it was in those big cities in Tokyo, but she didn't come back for long."

The boss lady said looking out the window.

It was still raining lightly outside.

It was quite a bit lighter than before.

......

"I'm back ......"

Conan shouted, and Mouri-Lan got up from the sofa in the hall and came over.

"Really, it took you so long to come back, tell me quickly, where did you and Wang Meng go to play?"

Mouilan meeting is a burst of suppression.

It was so close to writing a Conan limited (fear) that Conan-chan was cornered.

But you can't blame Mouilan for that.

It's raining heavily outside and I can't go out, and this island isn't that much fun.

It was indeed a bit boring to just sit here and wait.

It was reasonable that Mouri Kogoro should go out with Wang Xiaomeng to look for clues, or to ask some relevant people to see if they could ask something.

After all, many important clues were asked out.

However, he was told by his client that he couldn't reveal his identity, so the great detective from Yonahana Town had no place to use it.

Of course, Mouri Kogoro hadn't been idle, and no one had called the police when someone had been killed at noon.

The two foreign tourists said that the Kaijin Festival is the season to pray to the god of the sea for good weather.

It's like going out to sea with a nice breeze and sunshine.

Every fishing trip is full of fish.

These are the blessings that Poseidon promises to them.

If you want to call the police, it's best to wait until the Poseidon festival is over.

That's what the couple told Mouri Kogoro.

Mouri Kogoro didn't care at all about such things.

After all, human life was at stake.

Regardless of your custom, he still closed his eyes and called the police.

Of course, Officer Megure might have had a shadow when he received the call from Mouri Kogoro, but how could it be him again?

But because of the heavy rain in Tokyo, the police have been delayed from leaving for the sea.

It will be tomorrow at the latest.

After all, Officer Megure wouldn't be so foolish as to send someone straight over for the sake of police lives.

Chapter 263 - Grease

Because of the torrential rain, Wang Xiaomeng and the others had been staying at the hotel.

Those villagers, on the other hand, continued to hold the Poseidon Festival despite the torrential rain.

In the custom here, in the morning, they worshipped the sea god.

And in the afternoon, they would kill some pigs and sheep to pay tribute to Poseidon.

For this kind of feudal superstition, Wang Xiaomeng did not intend to participate in anything.

Although he wouldn't catch a cold, who would want to run outside in the heavy rain.

And this heavy rain continued until the evening.

It was only when Masashi Yakko returned from the festival square.

Mouri Kogoro saw how wet she was, and with a lusty look on his face, he ran off to get a towel for Zenhi Yakou.

"Here's dinner for you."

Shinjiyakko said carrying a couple of packaged beef noodles.

"Thanks."

Mouilan reacted and rushed to thank them.

They hadn't eaten enough since noon.

By now they were already starving.

Of course, Conan hadn't felt anything yet, after all, he had only eaten a few hours ago.

Now his stomach was still full.

......

Eating the noodles Shinjiyakko had brought them.

Conan just laid down on the sofa and didn't move.

Wang Xiaomeng was fine, perhaps because of his physique he could go for a long time without eating.

After all, his physique was already beyond the peak of humanity, and the energy reserves in his body wouldn't make him feel hungry.

Wang Xiaomeng refused Mao Leland's invitation and returned to his room.

The rain outside was heavy and crackling.

In this island, it was actually something else.

"If Vidoriga was here, I'm afraid he would have to get under the covers again, and I don't know what Wibaozi is doing right now ......"

Wang Xiaomeng said to herself.

......

"Achoo~"

A blonde loli wrapped in a blanket looked out the window at the not-so-happy rain and yelled, "So annoying~"

I said and buried my head under the covers for a while.

"How long until you come back, dead leek! Dead Wang Meng, big idiot!"

......

The next morning.

Wang Xiaomeng then heard the familiar voice of Officer Gure from the outside.

It was still raining, but it was only drizzling, so they went out to the police in the morning.

After going downstairs Wang Xiaomeng looked at the crowd already gathered in the living room and gave a friendly greeting.

"Good morning."

"Good morning brother Wang Meng."

Conan replied first before Mouri-Lan could reply.

"That, Officer Megure?"

Wang Xiaomeng shook her hand and the contemplative Officer Megure opened her eyes.

"Why are you here again ......"

"Er ......"

Wang Xiaomeng was speechless for a moment.

This ...... can't be avoided okay ......

"Well, I've had that feeling since the beginning."

Officer Megure waved his hand and aimed a glance at Mouri Kogoro and said to the mayor on the other side, "Where's the body?"

......

When we came to the clearing where the ritual was held, the body of the deceased was covered by an awning.

There was nothing around it either, or it had been taken away yesterday.

But the float where the deceased was found was still placed here.

"Takagi you take someone to check it out."

"Good."

Takagi led the coroner and went to examine the body.

Officer Megure, on the other hand, looked at the mayor and asked, "What is the name of the deceased?"

"Yuki Hamaguchi, my son."

The mayor spoke up in silence.

"With whom was the deceased more closely related?"

Officer Megure asked.

"This ......"

The mayor paused then shook his head.

The policewoman in charge of recording information about the body came to Officer Megure's side and whispered a few words before leaving.

"Let me ask you, when did you last see the deceased?"

"Yesterday? ...... noon ......"

The mayor was a little uncertain about what he was saying.

Officer Megure nodded and left the task of taking care of the records to someone else, while he went to Takagi's place.

Of course there were a few unrelated people standing around Takagi.

"Mori-chan, this is a crime scene."

Officer Megure said with a straight face.

"We're witnesses too."

Mouri Kogoro said with a cheeky face.

"......"

"The preliminary conclusion is that it was a poisoned death."

"Looking at the mouth, and the eyelids of the deceased, the time of death should have been a day ago, about this time yesterday."

Takagi said with the notebook.

"Wrong."

Wang Xiaomeng said softly.

"Huh?"

Conan's eyes were the only ones glowing, except for the others who looked confused.

"Look at the grease stain on the corner of his shirt."

Wang Xiaomeng said, crouching down to look at the dead man's collar opening.

"Can that mean anything?"

Gao Mu asked.

Wang Xiaomeng pondered for a moment before speaking, "Yesterday morning at the Sea God Festival, probably all the villagers came, there was food, but it was mostly fruit and bread, so when did the oil stain?"
