Chapter 348 The ghost of the mermaid is causing trouble?

"Ahhhhh!"

Conan took a look at the burn wound, then stood up and said in a classic childish tone: "How strange, this sister has such marks on her neck."

"Aren't these burn marks?"

Hattori Heiji glanced sideways at Conan, then stepped forward to take a look.

"It should be an electric baton or something, right?"

Fujino also took a look, and then replied without thinking: "I should use the electric baton to stun her unconscious first, and then break her legs."

"It seems like this should be the case..."

Hattori Heiji calmly nodded.

For such a living person, his legs were broken in broad daylight, and in front of his eyes.

This made him, a high school detective, feel provocative.

Conan's expression on the side was not much better.

Although no murder occurred this time, the 'gangster's' methods were too cruel.

This made him a little uncomfortable.

"But then again, Miss Kuroe."

Fujino glanced at the sullen faces of the two men, then turned to Kuroe Naoko to change the subject: "Why did you just say that this was done by a mermaid?"

"The mermaid's graveyard is in this forest!"

Kuroe Naoko's face turned pale and she hesitated: "The ghost of the mermaid must have been resurrected and is causing trouble!"

"The ghost of a mermaid?"

Mouri Kogoro on the side stared at him, "How is it possible? There are no ghosts in this world. What's more, mermaids don't exist... When she was hung on the waterfall just now, someone Jumped down from above, if you ask me, it must be that person who did it.”

"This is definitely the work of a mermaid!"

The black general Naoko still did not change her words: "The mermaid who was burned to death in the shrine warehouse three years ago looks exactly like her now!"

"She must have come here to find the mermaid's grave...but she was discovered by the mermaid's ghost, and the mermaid took revenge!"

As she spoke, her tone gradually trembled: "Am I right, Jun Hui?"

"Well, now that I'm talking about it, I seem to have remembered it."

Shimabukuro Kimie thought for a moment, and suddenly thought of a flaw in his plan.

That's what happened when she lured Shou Mei to the forest...

It would be better if Shou Mei died, dead people can't talk.

But the person is not dead yet. If she wakes up, she will definitely be a big suspect.

Therefore, Shimabukuro Kimie simply echoed: "Sumei seems to have always wanted to find that cemetery. She has asked me several times before. She asked me again before the festival, so I simply told her that if I got it, Dugong Arrow told her... Actually, I don't know where that place is, only my grandma knows... But I waited in the forest for a long time, but no one came to her."

"Merman mermaid..."

Hattori Heiji frowned, "You've been talking about mermaids, is that mermaid corpse real?"

"I'm not so sure either."

Shimabukuro Kimie shook her head innocently: "Although everyone on the island said so, the police who came to investigate said it was just the body of a middle-aged woman."

"Middle-aged woman?"

Kuroe Naoko on the side couldn't sit still, "Under normal circumstances, you can only say that if the bones below the waist are still there, right?"

"All the bones from the waist down are gone?!"

Mouri Kogoro was stunned when he heard this.

"There were two or three large burned-out pillars in the warehouse that fell around the body."

"So the body was crushed," Fukuyama explained.

"It turns out that's just the way it is."

Hattori Heiji was speechless when he heard this: "Then what's so surprising about this? Isn't it normal? How can you have a close relationship with a mermaid?"

"The key lies in what happened after the firefighters on our island removed the pillars..."

Fukuyama Rokuro also had some palpitations: "Generally speaking, if it was broken, then there should be residues of the bones in the feet, but the key point is that there are no bones in the feet of the corpse."

"Nani?"

Hattori Heiji and Conan were both stunned when they heard this.

Generally speaking, even if the lower body is smashed, the distribution of the remaining bones should be normal.

Logically speaking, this should be the case, but if it is really the same as what the other party said...

Then the smashed bones, apart from the lack of lower limbs, there is only one possibility that there are no legs at all.

Fujino is aware of this suspicion.

The reason why the body was so smashed that even the lower body was missing was because Shimabukuro Kimie's mother was still pretending to be alive when she was burned to death.

Tie your legs together and walk forward in a kneeling position.

When being hit by a big pillar, it created the illusion that there was no lower body.

This was also the reason why Shimabukuro Kimie's disguised fate was uncoordinated.

"Because of this incident, even the TV station was alerted."

At this time, Fukuyama Rokuro snorted coldly, as if he was joking about something: "After we came here to investigate, we said it was the mermaid's body and started to publicize it... We also followed the fate and became celebrities in one fell swoop."

Conan couldn't help but asked curiously: "But didn't the police say that it was just the body of a middle-aged woman?"

"This is what the police said. They said that the tourists who did not draw dugong arrows thought that there was a backup in the warehouse. When they were rummaging through the warehouse, the candle accidentally lit the warehouse..."

Shimabukuro Kimie recalled: "But a year has passed and the police have not found out the identity of the deceased, so we buried those bones... But then, some problems occurred..."

At this point, she stopped talking, as if she had something to hide.

Fukuyama Rokuro on the side took over the conversation: "Some annoying tourists believed the mermaid's story and ran over casually to dig out the buried bones and plan to take them away secretly."

"I have heard of the saying that mermaid meat can make people immortal..."

Hattori Heiji was stunned when he heard this and said hesitantly: "But why would anyone want to steal the mermaid's bones?"

"That's because there's a rumor from the Edo period."

Kuroe Naoko explained: "It is said that the bones of the mermaid are also elixirs that can be used to refine the elixir of immortality... Those people just heard this rumor, so they wanted to steal the bones of the mermaid.

"It's too outrageous..."

Hattori Heiji and Conan couldn't help frowning when they heard this: "It's too much to actually dig out other people's bones or something."

"This is the so-called feudal superstition."

Fujino on the side was a little surprised: "Although there are such feudal legends all over the world, it is still rare to be able to rob and dig up graves like Neon... It can only be said to be evil."

"Well, that's really wicked."

Shimabukuro Kimie nodded in agreement and agreed with Fujino, "In order to prevent those evil people from continuing to steal the bones of mermaids, my grandmother secretly moved the so-called mermaid's grave to this place last year. Inside the forest..."

"Let's get Miss Shoumei down the mountain first."

Fujino glanced at Hisumi Ebihara and changed the topic again: "Although her life is not in danger, the injury on her leg still needs to be treated quickly to avoid the need for amputation... Although judging from the current situation There is less need for amputation.”

"Yes!"

At this time, Hattori Heiji realized that there seemed to be an unlucky guy with his legs broken.

Kuroe Naoko looked at Fukuyama Rokuro angrily: "Your fiancée is already injured like this, but you still have the time to talk about this here."

"That's just my parents' decision."

Fukuyama Rokuro also glanced at Kuroe Naoko helplessly, and then helplessly picked up Hisumi Ebihara: "What's more, my parents are no longer here..."

"He is engaged to this sister?"

Conan looked at the two of them curiously, a little surprised.

He didn't realize that the reaction of these two people would be the reaction of an unmarried couple.

"yes."

Kuroe Naoko glanced at the two of them and explained: "The two of them were married when their parents were still alive, but the guy didn't seem to like this marriage very much. I really don't know what he thought. "

"..."

Shimabukuro Kimie frowned silently, watching the two people leaving, with an incomprehensible look in his eyes.

Fujino raised his eyes and glanced at Shimabukuro Kime, and shook his head helplessly.

…………

On the way down from the waterfall.

"Did you think of anything?"

Seeing that Hattori Heiji was always thinking, Conan couldn't help but ask.

"Well, I am indeed a somewhat skeptical candidate."

Hattori Heiji nodded and recalled the previous Kadokyo Benzo: "I remember that Sumi's wooden plaque was obviously drawn by the Dugong Arrow, but it somehow ended up in the hands of that drunken uncle..."

"That person is indeed very suspicious."

Conan couldn't help but nodded, but then he expressed his thoughts: "Previously, Monkyo Saori also had a dugong arrow in her hand, and then disappeared. This time, Ebihara Hisumi drew a dugong arrow. Then he was knocked unconscious and his legs were broken... I feel that this case is closely related to the dugong arrow."

Although someone mentioned that the mermaid soul was causing trouble, neither of them thought about the mermaid side.

It's really outrageous that the mermaid soul is causing trouble.

It's simply not possible.

Although Conan has encountered many strange stories, such as the mountain god and mushroom god, he still firmly believes that there must be someone behind this.

Fujino followed behind, silently eavesdropping.

He wasn't too worried that these two people would think of him.

After all, he was very confident in proving his alibi.

He wanted to see how these two people could clearly see the murderer, but couldn't catch him no matter what.

…………

An hour later, Mermaid Falls.

"He Ye, how are you? Have you found the man who jumped from the top of the waterfall?"

After going down the mountain, the group returned to the Man and Waterfall. Hattori Heiji came up and asked Kazuha.

As for Hisumi Ebihara, she was sent to the hospital on the island by Fukuyama Rokuro.

"No, some villagers from the island have just gone into the lake to look for that person, but there is no sign of him at all."

Yuan Shan and Ye shook their heads, feeling a little helpless: "And no one came out of the lake nearby, it was as if they disappeared out of thin air."

"Nani?"

Mouri Kogoro frowned and turned to look at the calm lake beside him: "If that's the case, wouldn't that person have already drowned here?"

"I don't think so."

Conan suddenly said at this time: "I think that person must have used some magic or other skills to fake such a thing, just like Kaitou Kidd, right, Brother Fujino?"

As he spoke, he turned to look at Fujino.

From his point of view, Fujino should know a lot about magic.

He often plays magic tricks that even he doesn't understand, and is a sworn enemy of Kaitou Kidd, so he must have seen something that he didn't.

"Well..."

Fujino glanced at Conan helplessly.

He said it was magic, but he actually didn't know how his shadow worked.

Just now, he just jumped down from the waterfall and then took back the shadow. There was no magic skill at all.

It’s not impossible if he made it up blindly: “It should be that he didn’t jump down at all. When he jumped down, he used some kind of blind trick, used some heavy object to hit him down, and then put on the black cloak. On something..."

"If that's the case, it's really possible."

After hearing this, Hattori Heiji and Conan both seriously thought about the possibility of the method Fujino said.

If someone else said it, the two of them might not care.

But if it were Fujino, it would be different.

After all, this is the guy they both agree on.

"dad!"

At this time, Xiaolan hurriedly ran back, panting: "The police have just said that the wind and waves around the island are too big now, and they can't come over now."

"what the hell!"

Mouri Kogoro complained: "Why did you choose this time..."

"But this means that the guy is still on this island."

At this time, Hattori Heiji straightened the brim of his hat that had been placed behind him, his face became much more serious, and the sloppy sleepiness that had originally appeared suddenly disappeared: "It takes less than an hour to get to the top of Mermaid Falls from here. If that's the case , everyone present may be a suspect, and this person must still be on this island now."

"Then the murderer is still watching us somewhere now?"

Xiaolan calmed down and looked around, looking a little worried.

"Don't worry, that guy will be caught soon!"

Kazuha patted Xiaolan's shoulder reassuringly: "As long as Heiji puts on his hat, it means that he is working at full capacity and is 100% serious."

"That's it-"

Xiaolan couldn't help but glance at Hattori Heiji curiously.

Suddenly, she felt that Hattori Heiji was very similar to Kudo Shinichi.

Especially when you are serious.

She couldn't help but be curious, are high school detectives always like this when they are serious detectives?

Turning her head, she glanced at Fujino again.

Thinking back for a moment, Fujino-senpai doesn't seem to be as passionate as them when he is serious.

That deep and deep feeling seems to be more calm, or more terrifying?
