Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 213

   A group of people divided the work.

   Hattori Heiji will go to the life sample tomorrow to inquire about the situation, while Maurilan and the others will go to other islanders to inquire about the relationship between Umihara Nami-maybe they will find a suspect who holds a grudge against the deceased.

   As for Jiang Xia... Coincidentally, he was assigned the task of "going to Menli Shazhi to inquire about news".

In this incident, Menresa Ori was a key figure - she once proposed that "the mermaid wants to kill her", but now, a murder case has really happened on the island, and the dead Namei Uihara has been killed in various forms. Associated with "mermaid".

  Although there is no strong evidence to prove that the two events are connected, several detectives intuitively feel that Menli Saori may have some clues that they do not know.

Because Hattori Heiji was too outspoken before, the first conversation between him and Mori Saori was not pleasant. When he was on the ship before, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Mori Saori disliked Hattori Heiji, so Hattori Heiji was also very self-aware. going to find her.

   This "important clue" was handed over to Jiang Xia, who was very reliable in solving cases.

   And when they were on the boat, others found out—Menri Shazhi looked at Jiang Xia several times with slightly surprised eyes, and seemed very happy to meet him.

  Although this is a bit suspected of tricking his companions into betraying his hue, but in order to get clues...for the time being, he can't care about that much.

   Jiangxia did not reject this arrangement.

   On the one hand there is no proper excuse. On the other hand, this task is very easy to paddle - Menlishazhi is not on the island at this time, he only needs to ask the drunk dad of Menlishazhi, and then go to the neighbors and go around to get the "Menlishazhi" Weave often runs away from home" clue, you can hang up freely.

  …

   Heijiang Nao returned home, carefully took out the arrow drawn from the Mermaid Festival just now, and placed it on the bedside closest to him.

   She remembered that Menri Saori lost the dugong arrow a few days ago. When he was young enough to survive, he could do anything—Heijiang Nao was really afraid that if he put the arrow too far, he would be sneaked away by Menri Saori.

   At this time, she also got the arrow of the dugong, and only then did she realize the panic feeling of Menli Shazhi when she lost the arrow.

   The next day, Nao Heijiang dreamed of another young boy who died tragically on the waterfall.

   She woke up from the nightmare, panicked for a while, and then she was a little fortunate - fortunately, she didn't run around relying on the dugong arrow, but only after she got the arrow, did she start thinking about the mermaid tomb.

   Heijiang Nao reached out and touched the pillow, and happily picked up the dugong arrow drawn last night: With the dugong arrow in hand, she will be able to find it smoothly...

The    arrow was caught in front of him, and it was a little light.

   Heijiang Nao took a closer look and half cut off the arrow, causing her heart to almost stop.

  … When did it break? ! !

   She jumped up from the bed, and when she got it before, it was still a whole...

  Although the merman did not say what kind of punishment would be given for destroying the dugong arrow, but if the arrow is lost, it will be a disaster...

   Heijiang Nao suddenly lost the calm appearance just now, she took out her mobile phone in a panic, and called Shimabukuro Junhui.

   However, after she finished telling the situation, she only got a reply from the witch: "I took the arrow from my grandmother with my own hands. There is no problem. Did you accidentally press it when you were sleeping..."

   Heijiang Nao now has no time to study the reason for the broken dugong arrow, she just wants to find a remedy as soon as possible.

   However, Shimabukuro-kunhui said that the festival was over and she couldn't give her a new dugong arrow.

After    was hung up, Nao Heijiang was in despair.

   At this moment, her phone vibrated suddenly.

  Heijiang Nao picked up the phone numbly and saw that there was an additional text message on it, and the sender displayed "Saori".

After    is clicked, a few lines of words are displayed on the screen of the mobile phone:

[I found it!

  The Tomb of the Mermaid! ! ]

  …

   Jiang Xia drives the puppet of the foggy dog ​​and wanders in the uninhabited sea.

   He finished sending the message with the cell phone that he had picked up earlier, and then threw it into the sea, watching it disappear like its owner.

After   , Jiang Xia dissipated the puppet, and his consciousness returned to his body.

   At this time, the main body is beside the house of Kaori Saori.

   Just now, Jiang Xia had met Menli Shazhi's father. Menlid was drunk and didn't care where his daughter went - he took the arrow of Menlisha weaving before and sold it to tourists who came here, earning 1 million.

   At this time, he found out that Menlishazhi was not going home at night, and he only felt that he was exposed to the fact that he took the arrow.

  The ugliness of the family is not easy to show, so Menli’s father didn’t let Jiang Xia into the house, he blocked the door and sent people away.

   This saves a lot of work.

   Jiang Xia looked at the door that was photographed, and wrote down the clues related to Menli's father with satisfaction, and planned to go to the next neighbor's house to check in.

After   , he can enter the free activity mode.

  …

   At the same time, Hattori Heiji was already on his way to the back mountain, and Toyama and Ye followed him.

   Just now they went to Ming Sample, but they also didn't get an answer - Ming Sample knew about the Mermaid Tomb, but refused to say its location, and warned the two young people not to hit the Mermaid Tomb.

   She tremblingly said that those who covet the merman cemetery are cursed.

   Hattori Heiji didn't care about such superstitious words, but Toyama and Ye were super concerned.

  …

   came out of the shrine, and the two happened to see a figure rushing towards the back mountain in the distance. They were startled, and immediately followed.

  There are lush trees in the mountains, and as soon as you enter the mountain, the visible range suddenly decreases.

   Hattori Heiji and Toyama and Ye couldn't find the person who went up the mountain first, so they shouted twice, but no one answered, so they had to follow the impression.

  I didn't expect to chase after a while, but still couldn't find anyone, but saw a simple tomb.

   The tomb is less than half a meter in diameter, with a cluster of fresh incense ash beside it, and a round headstone resting on top.

   Hattori Heiji was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the mermaid tomb, which the islanders couldn't find anywhere, could be found so easily.

   He looked at the round tombstone on the ground, and while thinking, he touched it.

   Yuan Shan and Ye have been listening to a bunch of monster legends related to mermaids in the past few days. When they saw the tomb, they felt nervous and looked around vigilantly.

   As soon as she saw a sign that read "Danger! There is a cliff ahead" at her feet, she heard a screeching sound.

   Yuan Shan and Ye turned their heads in confusion, just to see Hattori Heiji accidentally pushed someone's tombstone away. At this time, he was chasing after the stone with a guilty conscience.

   And the place in front of him covered by weeds happened to be a steep cliff.

  …

   Jiang Xia had just lit a ghost mint on the back mountain when he suddenly heard an exclamation.

  The voice is far away, it sounds a little fuzzy, but it is still a little familiar, a bit like distant mountains and leaves.
