Chapter 350 Yes, you are next!

Fujino pretended to think, then turned to look at Naoko Kuroe who was standing aside: "Miss Kuroe, do you have any ideas?"

"idea?"

Kuroe Naoko was obviously taken aback when she heard this, "What can I have in mind..."

"Whether it's Men Xie Shaori or Miss Shoumei, that person's pattern of attacking seems to start from your social circle."

Fujino met Naoko Kuroe's eyes: "I heard people on the island say before that Miss Kuroe, you, and Miss Sumi all seemed to have grown up playing together with Monkyo Saori. friend."

"That's true. Junhui, Sumi, and Saori and I have been good friends since we were children."

Kuroe Naoko was noncommittal about the relationship between the two of them: "But, what does this have to do with it?"

"Now it seems that two people have been targeted by Xiao Hei, and the characteristics of the crimes are particularly clear."

Fujino whispered, "I think the next target may be You or Miss Junhui."

Hattori Heiji and Conan both lowered their heads and thought for a moment after hearing this.

I think what Fujino said makes sense.

Although it seems very simple, judging from the people who have been attacked now, this conjecture is still very consistent with the rules.

Hattori Heiji frowned, turned to Naoko Kuroe and asked: "By the way, Miss Kuroe, Miss Kimie, do you have any enemies?"

"Enemy?"

Kuroe Naoko frowned: "How can we have any enemies... We usually stay on this island and have never gone out a few times... Even the people on the island don't hold grudges... Could it be? Mermaid?!”

At this point, her words suddenly paused, and then there was a period of silence, and her face turned pale.

The reason was not anything else, but that she suddenly remembered the mermaid she and two other friends burned to death three years ago.

As a believer in mermaids, she immediately followed her previous thoughts and thought that the ghost of the mermaid was seeking revenge.

Now the other two people who set the fire with her are getting their comeuppance...

Then wouldn't she be the next one?

"Miss Heijiang, did you remember anything?"

Fujino narrowed his eyes slightly and noticed the strange look on Naoko Kuroe's face.

Sure enough, just as he thought, he was already panicking.

Well, that’s right, you’re next!

"Nothing...I just remembered that I still have some things to do."

Kuroe Naoko shook her head, not intending to tell anyone about the arson she and her friends had set on fire. She immediately turned around and said casually: "That's it for today, I'll leave first..."

"It's so strange..."

Conan watched the back of Naoko Kuroe as she hurried away and said curiously: "Sister Kuroe seems to have something to hide from us."

"I feel the same way."

Hattori Heiji was also a little confused, "Miss Junhui, do you know something?"

"I don't know either... Although they and I have been friends since childhood, our relationship is not really close. It's more like a network formed by Shaori and Shaori as our backbone."

Shimabukuro Kimie shook her head helplessly and glanced back at Kuroe Naoko, with a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.

"Is that so?"

Fujino nodded when he heard this, and then continued to ask: "By the way, I just heard Miss Kuroe say that you are usually on the island, and you don't have any enemies in this state at all, is that right?"

"That's right..."

Shimabukuro Kimie nodded and responded, "We usually live on this island and rarely go out. Even when we go out, it's just for traveling."

"That means that Xiao Hei is most likely from this island."

Fujino thought for a while, "If it's because of grudges, then I'm afraid the only people on this island who will attack you are the people on this island."

"No way?"

Shimabukuro Junhui was stunned when he heard this.

"I think it's very possible."

Hattori Heiji took over the conversation: "As you said before, if there is a grudge, it should be between the people on the island. In fact, in addition to the fact that the two people who were attacked are friends, they also have dugong arrows. I just can't figure this out. Yesterday, I remembered that Miss Shoumei must have drawn a dugong arrow, but why were all three people present?"

"I remember it too!"

At this time, Conan echoed from the side: "That sister clearly said that she won, but in the end, apart from Sister He and Sister Ye, the other two people who received the award were the drunkard who looked like Uncle Maori, and the one just now A sister."

"What did you say?"

Mouri Kogoro suddenly felt unhappy when he heard that he was called an alcoholic.

Conan was ashamed: "Haha...it's nothing."

"But let me tell you, she must have seen it wrong."

Uncle Maori once again used his unique skill of interfering with the case and leading everyone into the maze: "If you ask me, she must have mistaken her own numbers and her winning numbers, that's why she said that. I used to bet on horse racing. When I was there, I encountered...ahem."

"But I don't think that's the case."

Hattori Heiji narrowed his eyes slightly, "Shou Mei's wooden sign was not on his body at that time... If this is the case, one of the two people who received the award must have used Shou Mei's wooden sign."

At this time, Mouri Kogoro suddenly enlightened: "Then as long as we find out who has the wooden sign in the end, won't we be able to figure out who is the attacker?"

"If only it were that simple."

After being speechless for a moment, Conan said helplessly: "None of us have seen the number on Miss Shoumei's number plate. It is completely unfeasible to determine the attacker based on this kind of evidence."

Shimabukuro Kimie's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he wanted to say something, but he hesitated and still didn't say anything.

In fact, she wanted to say that in her home, there was actually a list of people who were drawn.

But then I thought about it, if the reasoning of these detectives is really the same, then that little black guy will probably be exposed.

Although she didn't know who Kuro was, if she thought about it, it might be Kuroe Naoko or Monkyo Benzo.

But no matter how hard she thought about these two people, she couldn't figure out which one was Xiao Hei.

One is a famous drunkard in the village, and the other is one of the murderers of his mother.

It's unreasonable to think about these two people.

"In her current condition, it would be too difficult to find out the number on the number plate."

Fukuyama Rokuro, who had just returned to the ward to comfort Hisumi Ebihara, came out. After hearing the conversation of several people, he suddenly mentioned: "If it's a number plate, I remember it should be recorded at the shrine, right?"

"Is there such a thing?" Hattori Heiji asked in confusion.

"In order not to mistake the names of those who participate in the lottery every year, we do keep records on the roster."

Shimabukuro Kime glanced at Fukuyama Rokuro resentfully, and then sighed: "It's just that what happened last night, I haven't had time to check this year's list."

When Conan heard this, a gleam flashed in his eyes: "Sister Junhui, can you take us to take a look at the roster?"

"no problem."

Shimabukuro Kimie was a little reluctant, but with three detectives in front of her, she couldn't easily refuse.

…………

Ten minutes later.

Under the leadership of Shimabukuro Kimie, Fujino and his party came to Shimabukuro's house again and came to the room where the sundries were stored.

"Here it is, the list to draw the Dugong Arrow."

Shimabukuro Kimie handed a stack of thick notebooks to everyone.

"So many..."

Hattori Heiji looked at the pile of records in front of him and couldn't help but feel a headache.

“These are lists from previous years.”

As Shimabukuro Kime spoke, he took out a notebook from the pile of notebooks and explained, "This year's list is here."

Hattori Heiji was a little helpless and could only start to read slowly.

Fujino, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes slightly and randomly picked out two or three lists from the last two years.

If I remember correctly, these lists seemed to have the signatures of Gin, his younger brother, and Shirley.

He wanted to confirm the real names of gin and vodka.

Just two or three books.

Under the influence of the bonus of perception, Fujino quickly found the leaf.

The rapid turning of pages in his hand stopped. He looked at the notebook and saw the names: [Kurosawa Formation] [Uozuka Saburo] [Miyano Shiho].

"It's very different from what I remember..."

Fujino thought about it, but he felt that the name Gin was a bit...

It seems to fit the other person's temperament quite well.

As for the name, he has always been unsure.

Now that he has seen it with his own eyes, he has some confidence.

After all, if you consume a White Wolf cigarette for a name that you have misremembered, it will be more than worth the gain.

But even if you know it, you still have to think about it carefully.

Miyano Shiho is using his real name, so there must be no problem.

As for Uozuka Saburo, Kurosawa Formation, these names...

He was not sure whether it was true or false.

We can only find opportunities to practice the truth.

"Brother Fujino, what are you looking at?"

At this time, Conan noticed Fujino who was flipping through a book.

It reminds me of the previous situation where Fujino quickly found the gangsters from multiple screens at high speed.

He had reason to suspect that Fujino was secretly collecting some evidence behind his back.

As far as he was concerned, Fujino, an old bastard, did everything in secret.

Sometimes he even sees the truth directly, and before he can figure it out, others have already begun to prove it.

"nothing."

Fujino shook his head and didn't say much.

I was just a little speechless in my heart, secretly complaining about this boy Conan, why does he stare at me every day?

"found it!"

At this time, Hattori Heiji suddenly shouted.

"Have you found it yet?"

Conan's attention was immediately attracted, and he turned around and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's Benzo."

The waiter's normally dark face darkened: "The names of Hisumi Ebihara and Naoko Kuroe are on this list, but the name of Monkyo Benzo is not on this list."

"Nani?"

Conan was shocked when he heard this.

"Could it be that guy who attacked Miss Sumi?"

Mouri Kogoro guessed: "After that guy heard that Miss Shoumei had drawn a dugong arrow, he became malicious and attacked her with the strength of wine, and then pretended that nothing happened and came back to redeem the arrow. .”

"But why did he attack others and steal the number plate..."

Hattori Heiji is still a little confused: "And if he is Xiao Hei, then his daughter may have been kidnapped by him as well."

He couldn't understand that someone would attack others for something like this.

"Maybe it's for money."

Fujino thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I remember this thing, if it was expensive, it could be sold for a million yen."

"One million yen?!"

Mouri Kogoro was obviously shocked by Fujino's words, "Is this thing really so valuable?"

"Although the Dugong Arrow doesn't seem very valuable, if it is given to those who need it, someone will probably recognize it even if it sells for several million yen."

Fujino nodded. He remembered that the arrow stolen by Monkyo Benzo and made by Monkyo Saori was sold for one million yen: "In desperate situations, human beings will always pray for some illusory things." Even if there is a one in a billion chance, I will try my best to fight for something... Monkyo Benzo is Saori's father. If I think about it again, it is probably not impossible that he sold his daughter's arrow. "

"If you say so, it's really possible."

Mouri Kogoro frowned slightly: "After he found out that his daughter was hiring a detective, he went to Tokyo to kidnap her. And during the Dugong Festival yesterday, he discovered that Miss Shoumei had also been hit by a dugong arrow, and Attacked her..."

"Forehead……"

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Conan Hattori Heiji and Fujino couldn't help but glance at Mouri Kogoro speechlessly.

As a fairly normal detective, Mouri Kogoro's idea was definitely not adopted.

Everyone planned to go to Men Xie's house to see the situation first and ask the uncle what was going on.

Before leaving, Fujino ran to the toilet again.

…………

Fujino sat on the toilet, looking straight at the shadow in front of him.

After a moment, the shadow began to peel away from his body, and then he crawled out from the crack in the door as if he was conscious.

Fujino looked a little strange as he watched his shadow gradually go away.

Although this method of action is quite convenient, it feels a bit weird in actual operation, like making tentacles, horses and monkeys soju.

After the shadow was peeled off, it slowly crawled out of Shimabukuro's house and transformed into a human form in the woods outside the house.

After Fujino sensed that Xiao Hei was already in place, he also walked out of the bathroom.

Now the plan he had envisioned began in earnest.

…………

Inside the souvenir shop on the island.

Naoko Kuroe stood in front of the shelf, looking down at the dugong arrow hanging on her chest, looking a little uneasy.

The reasoning just now obviously shocked her.

Although the ghost of a mermaid sounds outrageous, to her, a mermaid believer, it is every step of the way.

At this time, she was extremely scared. Now the two other people who set the fire three years ago had been retaliated against. As one of the arsonists, she was also afraid of being retaliated against.

"Blessed by dugong arrows..."

Kuroe Naoko devoutly put her hand on the arrow on her chest, praying for the blessing of the power of the mermaid.

In her eyes, as long as she doesn't lose her dugong arrow, she will not be in danger, and on the contrary, she will live a long life.

Even if the mermaid's ghost really comes, she won't be afraid at all.

As for the revenge on the other two people, after thinking about it, she could only blame those two people for what they deserved.

One of them got something as good as a dugong arrow and showed it off, and the other was a fool who dared to lose that treasure. If the two of them are not retaliated, who will be retaliated?

"Naoko, you finally got this arrow."

The store manager's mother standing in front of the cashier saw this scene and couldn't help but joked: "I have been clamoring for it before, and now I finally got it. But I really don't understand how you young people can be superstitious about this kind of thing."

"Mermaids definitely exist..."

Kuroe Nao did not retort too fiercely: "Saori, Sumi, they must have been attacked by the ghost of the mermaid."
