Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 199 You also go to Mermaid Island

   Jiang Xia was startled, then turned to look at the pier.

   He saw Yuan Shan and Ye standing below, waving to him.

   She was also holding an Osaka friend who looked like she wanted to turn her head away.

   Jiang Xia looked at Yuan Shan and Ye, and then at Hattori Heiji.

  …The number of event physique holders from afar has increased.

   Three minutes later.

  Han Ben's patriarch looked at the two more strangers on the boat, his face turned black.

   He was already in a bad mood, and at this time he couldn't get angry with the stranger who knocked on the door, so the Patriarch Huoben decisively poured his anger on his own people.

   Jiang Xia watched the patriarch scolding his son-in-law, grandson-in-law, son, and granddaughter all the way... Finally, after berating the grandson who was hiding in the corner painting, the old man finally felt a little more at ease.

  The chief patriarch walked towards the cabin with his hands behind his back.

   Before returning to the house to rest, he looked at Takehiko Caicheng, who was about to enter the house of the family: "Come here, I have something to tell you."

  Caicheng Takehiko let go of Qiben Xiajiang's hand and trot nervously over, the figures of one old and one young quickly disappeared in the corridor.

   Behind them, the grandson of the Patriarch Hunmoto, Ichiro Hunmoto, was holding a paintbrush, facing the frame, his already high murderous aura jumped up again.

   Jiang Xia looked at his inflated murderous aura, reached into his pocket unconsciously, held the swinging stick, and wanted to stay by the source of murderous aura.

   However, before he walked over, Ichiro Homoto seemed to have a premonition. He looked around vigilantly and found no danger, but after hesitating for a moment, he silently put away his portfolio and returned to the cabin.

   Jiang Xia watched him go away regretfully.

  …

  The yacht is very big and the view of the sea is also very good. The only thing that is a little weird is that there is no crew on such a big ship, as if it is fully autonomous.

  Jiang Xia hung up on the boat and pretended to watch the scenery, but his eyesight was shifted to the ghost, and the ghost floated into the cockpit to watch this rare miracle of science.

Mao Lilan, Yuan Shan, Ye and Suzuki Sonoko went to the kitchen to help—Hoben Shoji, the second son of the patriarch, is a famous chef who occasionally appears on food shows. Everyone was about the same, so the three girls went to visit the star kitchen.

   On the deck a short distance from Jiangxia, Hattori Heiji leaned against the railing and sighed at the sea.

   I went out and met Jiang Xia. There will be no more cases...

  Conan knew what he was thinking, he patted Hattori Heiji's calf and comforted: "It's okay, this boat is a family."

   Hattori Heiji's eyes became even more sad: "Have you encountered less cases of family members killing each other..."

  "..." Conan felt very reasonable, but didn't want to admit it, "Don't curse people, it should be just an ordinary quarrel, no one has ever quarreled..."

After   , the two fell silent again.

After    a moment, they decided to ignore this heavy topic for a while.

  Conan asked: "Why did you go to Mermaid Island? You are not there to pray for eternal youth."

   "How could I believe that kind of thing." Hattori Heiji shook his head, he took out a letter of entrustment and handed it to Conan, "It's because of this."

  Conan took the letter and unfolded it, and found that there were only a few lines on it.

   The person who wrote the letter seemed to be in a panic, the handwriting trembled, and it said:

  [I will be killed by mermaids, please save me! ]

   Signed "Menrisha Weaving", with a phone behind it.

Hattori looked at the inscription on the letter: "I called immediately after I received the letter and asked if she was being targeted, but she said that she "lost the dugong arrow and will be murdered by mermaids", please I can do anything to save her.

   "I suggested she go to the hospital to register for a psychiatry, but she hung up the phone angrily..."

  Conan: "..."

   Although the way of speaking is a little too direct, he actually agrees with Hattori Heiji's suggestion in his heart.

   But Conan is also a little puzzled: "Then why did you come here on purpose? Supervise her to see a doctor?"

   I can't see that Hattori Heiji is so enthusiastic about this. If so, why don't you ask him to take Jiang Xia to the hospital by the way... If I remember correctly, Jiang Xia hasn't found a doctor yet.

   Hattori Heiji felt a chill for no reason.

He wrapped his coat tightly under the sea breeze, and shook his head under Conan's expectant gaze: "There is also a sum of cash sent with the letter. I can't ask the remittance address, and I don't want the money, so I can only follow the address and return it. She. It happens to be a tourist resort there, so it's a tourist."

  …

   When it got dark, several people returned to the cabin and entered the dining room.

  In the kitchen, when the dishes to be cooked are cooked and the dishes to be stewed are cooked, the three girls also returned to the restaurant.

   The process of waiting for the meal to start was a bit boring, so Ben Xiajiang sat next to the guests for a while, then he simply found a pen and drew a family relationship map for the curious guests to pass the time.

Conan and Hattori Heiji looked at the drawings on the table, and began to subconsciously draw a hatred map for the family. According to the scene they saw after getting on the boat, the Homoto family was not very harmonious recently, and it looked like something big was going to happen. Hope they think too much...

   Jiang Xia also looked at the drawings. He actually remembered the relationship and contradiction between these people: the patriarch Huanben planned to announce his will when his granddaughter was married, leaving all the inheritance to Xiajiang Huanben. And the rest of the family were either very short of money, or were angered by the head of the Huanben patriarch. In short, the patriarch is in a very dangerous situation.

   However, it is not these that will eventually lead to the death of the head of the Homoto clan, but his grandson, Ichiro Homoto.

  Hanben Ichiro likes Heben Xiajiang very much. Before, he begged the Heben patriarch to let the two get married. The patriarch did not agree, and sneered at him habitually.

  Hanmoto Ichiro then became murderous with his grandfather, and decided to kill the patriarch and put all the blame on Xiajiang's prospective husband, Takehiko Caicheng, to get rid of his rival.

  …

   When it was time for dinner, everyone had returned to the restaurant.

   Only the Patriarch Hunmoto never appeared.

  The housekeeper went to him.

   Not long after, the old housekeeper's terrified cry came from the corridor.

   After hearing this iconic scream, several detectives were startled, pushed away the stool, and ran to the sound.

   When he got there, he saw that the old housekeeper was sitting at the door of the house of the Patriarch Huoben. He shivered and pointed at the wide-open door, looking at the corpse inside, speechless.
