Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 210 Picked up teammates

   Hattori Heiji yawned and felt a little bored, as did Conan.

   But on this island, apart from the mermaid festival, there is no entertainment. Now they are all here. Although they failed to draw the dugong arrow, I heard that the ceremony to announce the dugong arrow is also very lively, and fireworks will be set off.

   Jiang Xia certainly agreed with this proposal.

   The ceremony of awarding dugong arrows will only start in an hour, so don’t be in a hurry.

   A few people went to have dinner together first.

  While passing the time in the restaurant, Jiang Xia condensed the puppet of Wutengu in a nearby hideout.

   Then he consciously possessed himself, carried the mermaid ghost, and flew to the mountain above the mermaid waterfall together.

The open space under the    waterfall is where the dugong arrows will be awarded shortly.

   Shimabukuro Junhui was not in the open space at this time, but in the mountains above the waterfall like Jiang Xia-she made an appointment with Haiyuan Nami in private to meet here.

   Shimabukuro Junhui is the shrine maiden who sends the dugong arrow, and Umihara Nami wants the dugong arrow again, and it is not difficult to take advantage of this to ask her out.

  …

  Umihara Nami came to the top of the waterfall as promised, but did not see Shimabukuro Junhui.

   She walked to the river, kicking stones in the water in a bored way, while waiting for someone.

   Shimabukuro Junhui gently walked out from behind the tree, she looked at the woman with her back to her with a complicated expression, holding a rope, she approached silently.

   However, just when she was about to strangle someone, she heard a clatter of water.

  ——A strange huge wave suddenly swelled up in the river, with a clear goal to roll Namei Umihara, who was standing by the river, into the water.

  Shimabukuro-kunhui closed his eyes and opened his eyes, and the person to kill was gone.

   She looked at the empty river bank and paused for a moment.

   The sound of water rushing around has not stopped, but has intensified.

   Shimabukuro Junhui approached cautiously, looking at Umihara Nami who was struggling at the bottom of the river, extremely puzzled.

   The river is not deep, but Nami Umihara couldn't stand up no matter how she struggled, as if something was entangling her underwater.

   The surroundings were very dark, and Shimajiro Junhui could only see some outlines vaguely. She somehow felt that the "thing" that was entangled in Umihara Nami looked like a person with a fish tail, or...

  A mermaid? !

   Shimabukuro-kunhui watched as her target was washed several times by the water, and at the same time, the protective rope by the river also fell off and fell into the river, spinning with Umihara Nami.

  In the end, the protective rope was firmly wrapped around Umihara Nami's neck, and a heavy wild knot was tied.

  Then the woman in the river went down the river, just like Shimabukuro Junhui's murder plan, fell off the cliff and hung lifelessly in front of the waterfall.

   Shimabukuro Junhui watched this scene dully, suspecting that she was dreaming.

   She looked into the water again, but there was nothing. The "mermaid" just now seemed to be just her illusion.

But……

   Shimadai-kunhui remembered the fresh corpse hanging on the waterfall, but he couldn't convince himself that Nami Umihara's death was just an accident.

   And if you take "mermaids exist in the world" as the premise of thinking...

  Although Umihara Nami was awarded the qualification for the dugong arrow, but since the award ceremony has not yet started, she has not yet received the dugong arrow, and naturally she will not be attacked by the merman because of "losing the arrow".

   But from what happened just now, the mermaid has a very clear hatred for her.

  Think about it not long ago, Menri Saori who drowned in the sea inexplicably...

   Shimabukuro Junhui's heart suddenly moved.

  The merman, the merman who appeared in the river and killed Namei Umihara before she could do it...

Will    be her mother?

  …

  A dozen meters away, Jiang Xia was sitting on a tree and temporarily switched to Xiaobai's puppet.

  The fog tengu had just been freed from the puppet, and then flew to the Shimadai-kunhui who was contemplating facing the river.

   It grabbed the rare murderous aura that smelled of sweet and sour fish around the witch, like rolling a marshmallow, and rolled the part of the murderous aura that fell off into a big ball.

   The people Shimabukuro-kunhui wanted to kill have now died of their own accord.

   This part of her murderous aura could not be poured onto the deceased, and it would dissipate on its own within a few days.

  I've come here tonight, I'm really sorry for not taking away those crumbling murderous auras.
