Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 211 is really just an accident

   At the same time that Shimadai-kunhui was sluggishly reshaping the world view, and the fog tengu was busy rolling murderous marshmallows.

  A hand stretched out silently from the river.

  The mermaid grabbed the lifebuoy that Shimadai-kunhui had just casually placed by the river, and secretly dragged it into the river.

  ——This is a crime tool prepared by Shimabukuro Junhui to move the body of Nai Mihara. It is no longer usable.

  The mermaid took advantage of Shimadai Junhui not paying attention, pushed the lifebuoy and swam away, busy destroying the evidence.

   The river is very narrow in some places and gets stuck easily. The mermaid pushed the lifebuoy down the waterfall and let it fall into the river, then jumped down, planning to push the lifebuoy all the way into the sea for destruction.

   She swam out for a while with the inflated lifebuoy, feeling that the speed was too slow, so she opened her mouth to show her fangs, trying to bite through the lifebuoy to make it smaller.

   Before she could bite down, a hand reached over and pulled the lifebuoy away.

   Jiang Xia rescued the innocent lifebuoy and sighed as he looked at the stubborn mermaid in front of him.

   Then he wiped the water and fingerprints off the lifebuoy, let it out, and stuffed it back into the shrine's warehouse.

When    left the shrine, Jiang Xia saw a corpse in the warehouse.

   is woven by Menresa. After she drowned, she was washed ashore by the waves and hid by Shimabukuro Junhui.

   Jiang Xia immediately instructed the mermaid to carry the corpse away, swim away, tie a heavy object, and throw it back into the sea.

   After finishing the matter here, he scattered the puppet and returned to his main body.

  …

   The main body is still hanging up in the hotel at this time.

Next to    are classmates who are excitedly discussing what they saw today.

  It was already dark all over.

   After eating, a few people sat for a while, and went to the bottom of the Mermaid Falls together to watch the fun.

   There are already many tourists here. There are also islanders busy building the venue and lighting the fire.

Before the    ceremony began, Shimabukuro appeared in the open space below the waterfall.

   She stood in front of Shenhuo, staring at the moving flames, her expression occasionally a little dazed. But overall, her psychological quality is not bad.

   When the event started, Shimadai Junhui had returned to normal, at least on the surface, no flaws could be seen.

   She is holding three divine arrows, and the person who draws the dugong arrow is invited to come forward.

   Heijiang Nao and a middle-aged aunt climbed over the fence, took the number plate, and received the arrow.

   But the third "lucky one" never appeared.

  Shimabukuro-kunhui closed his eyes and couldn't resist looking at the waterfall behind him——the third person was hanging there quietly now.

   She paused for a moment and urged according to the procedure, but still no third person came forward.

Suzuki Sonoko was among the onlookers, and sighed regretfully. She had some impressions of Umihara Namei who had drawn arrows before: "I knew that sister didn't want dugong arrows, so I should have asked her to buy the number plate... What a waste."

   Jiang Xia shook his head thoughtfully: "When she drew the arrow just now, she looked very happy. It shouldn't be because she didn't want it, but something was delayed."

  Suzuki Sonoko sighed in disappointment, and together with Maurilan, Yuanshan, and Ye, they stared at the two people who got the dugong arrow, feeling a little envious.

  Conan and Hattori Heiji are also quite concerned about the third person who is late, but the points of concern are different-the two looked at each other and looked back at Jiang Xia, and gradually had a bad premonition.

   Hattori Heiji whispered to Conan: "Will something happen?"

  Conan said in a hoarse voice: "Don't curse people..."

After   , the two of them had a meal at the same time.

   The content of the conversation just now gave them a strong sense of sight.

   Not long ago, a similar conversation happened once on the way here - on the boat they were on, and then...

  Conan and Hattori Heiji thought of the two corpses of the Homoto family, his complexion changed slightly, and he fell into a strange silence.

  …

   This kind of situation where the number card is drawn, but the Miko pigeon is released, although it is rare, it has not happened before.

   After waiting for a few more minutes, when the divine fire was about to burn out, Shimabukuro Junhui announced that he would skip this scene and move on to the next link - applying "blessing light" to those who drew the divine arrow.

   "Light of Blessing" is actually a bunch of bright fireworks, which will be set off under the Mermaid Falls, lifted into the sky, and illuminated the entire waterfall.

   Islanders lit fireworks.

  As the flames exploded, Shimabukuro Junhui recited the words of blessing.

   But soon there was a commotion in the crowd, overpowering her voice.

  Jiang Xia looked up with the others, and saw Namei Uihara, who had drawn the third arrow diagonally above, was tied by a rough rope around his neck and hung in front of the waterfall.

  As the water washed away, the figure swayed slightly, her slender figure and the wet dress clinging to her legs made her look like a mermaid lifted into the air.

  …

   After ten minutes.

  Jiang Xia and a few others climbed over the mountains and back to the place they had just visited - the riverside above the Mermaid Falls.

   When something like this happened, as a surface detective, he would definitely come to check it out.

   Hattori Heiji and Conan of course also came. The two of them thought that they were not familiar with the mountains, and they also took Shimabukuro Junhui as a guide.

   When Shimabukuro Junhui left the river before, he did not forget to remove the traces he left behind.

   She also helped the possible "mermaid" to clean up the traces. When cleaning up the scene, Shimabukuro Junhui thought that he might be able to pick up a piece or two of fish scales that fell, but he failed.

  Youkai are really extraordinary, and they don't seem to have such shortcomings as scales...
