Chapter 376
"That little girl over there..." ignored Conan, and the old lady said, looking at the three girls sitting together.
"Alas!" Xiaolan and they looked at the old lady blankly, not knowing who she was talking to?
"I'm talking about that little girl with her hair tied with a red ribbon!" The old lady said.
"I..." asked Toyama and Ye Confused.
"The arrow of the dugong was originally a treasure arrow to ward off demons, once you let go of the monster, it will build a nest on you, and if you are a man, you will enter the earth and become a heartless demon; If it is a woman, it will enter the water and become a mermaid who cannot speak, so I advise you to carry it with you! The old lady said in a gloomy tone, after this horror story, she didn't care about the frightened distant mountains and leaves, guarding the crutches and leaving directly.
As the old lady left, Yuanshan and Ye eased up from the terrifying atmosphere just now, and couldn't help but shiver, and came to the gate with everyone, watching the back of the old lady slowly leaving.
"The old lady is old, she likes to talk about these gods and gods, seeing her voice is so hoarse and her face is not very good, it seems that she will not live long." Seeing that Toyama and Ye were frightened by the old lady, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but mutter.
After the old lady left, Tang Zhen did not stay much and returned to the hotel on the island.
The next day, according to the itinerary originally arranged by Tang Zhen and Yuanzi, we should end the trip and take the boat back to Tokyo, but unfortunately because of Conan and them, the sea is now full of wind and waves, so they have to stay.
When the time came in the evening, Tang Zhen and Sonoko followed Maori Kogoro and they came to Sumi's house to keep vigil for her.
"Brother Zhen? Why are we here? Yuanzi looked at Maori Kogoro who was signing at the guest, and asked Tang Zhen in a low voice, "They want to investigate the case, and if we don't investigate the case, it's better to rest in the hotel!"
"What's the point of being in the hotel, because of the wind and rain, we have been in the hotel for a day, don't you feel bored?" Tang Zhen said in a low voice, "I have a hunch, what might happen tonight?" "
What will happen?" Could it be that the murderer still wants to kill people? Yuanzi asked a little blankly.
"This possibility is not excluded!" Tang Zhen nodded and said.
Tang Zhen and they followed Maori Kogoro into Miss Shoumi's spiritual hall, and found that it was very quiet, and there were few acquaintances except for Shimadai Junhui and Miss Saori's alcoholic father.
"That Mr. Menxie doesn't seem to have come home last night!" Maori Kogoro looked at Miss Saori's father who was sitting in the corner and asked Shimadai Junmei.
During the day today, Hattori Heiji went to Miss Saori's house, and when he looked for him, he didn't see anyone at all.
"I heard he drank all night at the tavern last night!" Dai Dai Junhui said with some helplessness.
"Why didn't I see Miss Naoko, I obviously saw her name on the guest list before." Yuan Zi looked around the Spirit Hall, and then asked Shimadai Junhui.
"She was here just now, I think I should go to the bathroom, right?" Shimadai Junhui also looked around in confusion and said.
"Then let's go see her!" Xiao Lan and Yuanshan and Ye looked at each other and said very tacitly.
"I'll go too!" Yuan Zi looked at Xiaolan and Yuanshan Heye's appearance, and said very positively.
"Why aren't you tired of being with Tang Zhen?" Walking out of the Spirit Hall, Xiaolan said to the garden with a mocking face.
"Hmph!" Yiyuan hugged Xiaolan's arm tightly, "Xiaolan, are you eating Brother Zhen's vinegar!" But don't worry, you're my favorite. "
What are you talking nonsense about?" Xiaolan felt a little unbearable about her girlfriend.
"Yuanzi..." Just as Yuanshan and Ye were about to say something, there was a muffled thunder in the gloomy sky outside, and under this moment of electric light, there was a person faintly hanging from the fishing net not far from them, which scared her to forget what she was going to say.
"What's wrong with you?" Yuanzi and Xiaolan noticed that something was wrong with her.
"Look..." Yuanshan and Ye pointed out of the corridor a little hesitantly, "Is there a person hanging on it?" "
Ah..." Yuan Zi and Xiaolan looked in the direction of Yuanshan and Ye Zhi, and they couldn't help but be frightened, and they didn't know who called out first, and then the other two girls followed suit.
As the screams between the three cut through the sky, they immediately alarmed the people who were guarding the spirits inside, and they immediately pushed the door and rushed out.
"What's going on in the garden?" Tang Zhen came to the side of the garden for the first time.
"Look there..." Xiao Lan closed her eyes and pointed her finger forward.
At this moment, another thunder flashed, illuminating the darkness outside, and I saw that Heijiang Naozo was hanging on a fishing net with her hands open, her legs hanging on the beach, her head hanging low, and she had no breath of life at all.
Tang Zhen and the three girls stood in the hallway without moving, Maori Kogoro didn't know where to find a camera, and began to check his body there with Hattori Heiji, while Conan also dangled next to him with his watch-type flashlight.
The location of the body is close to the coast, where the fishing nets are dried, it is dark here, the light of the house is a little far away, so it cannot be transmitted, if it were not for thunder and lightning, they would not have found it in the garden, there would be a corpse here.
Maori Kogoro and they found that there were two kinds of footprints on the beach, namely slippers and boots, and Conan followed the footprints and saw the mark of a dugong arrow that had been stepped on.
Maori Kogoro guessed that the deceased must have fallen to the ground and stepped on it while struggling before dying.
While Maori Kogoro and Hattori Heiji were discussing the two footprints on the beach, Conan found some fish scales on the body of the deceased, and also found fish scales next to a line of footprints that were clearly murderers.
Just when Maori Kogoro wondered where the scales came from, a few policemen with flashlights were late, because of the wind and rain at sea, although they received the alarm last night, and as soon as the wind and rain stopped, they rushed over, which still made them come much late.
"Hey! Who are you? What are you doing here? A leading officer asked Māori Kogoro imposingly.
"Of course we are investigating the case!" Maori Kogoro said of course.
"But this is the responsibility of our Fukui Prefectural Police!" The police officer leading the team said dissatisfied.
"Are you the police?" Maori Kogoro looked at the group suspiciously.
"Why are you here at this time?" Hattori Heiji said in a questioning tone, they have called the police for a day and a night, and if it were not for their help, they delayed for so long, and no evidence would have taken effect.
Because the police came, Maori Kogoro and Hattori Heiji were directly driven out by the police.
"Heiji, what's going on over there?" As soon as Maori Kogoro and them returned, Toyama and Ye couldn't wait to ask, everything that happened before still made them palpitate.
"We found some fish scales on Naoko's corpse and footprints next to it! And the footprints of the murderer go all the way to the sea! Hattori Heiji said.
"What? Is there really a fish man who can't make it? As soon as Hattori Heiji's voice fell, Toyama and Ye shivered and said.
And Xiaolan and Yuanzi seemed to be infected, and they shivered with fear.
"Where in the world are there mermaids? Didn't you hear him say that the murderer had footprints? Seeing that he was there to scare the three girls, Tang Zhen said to Hattori with some dissatisfaction, "Hattori, what the hell is going on?" Don't scare them!
"Hey, hey! Haven't I finished talking yet? Hattori Heiji looked at the three girls who were frightened, and said with a smile, "According to our speculation, the murderer should have asked Miss Naoko to the beach and then killed her, as for why the murderer's footprints led to the sea, it should be that the murderer walked all the way along the wave line before, and after the murder, he walked back along the wave line, as for those fish scales, the murderer used it to confuse the public and plant it on the so-called fish people."
"This way!" Xiaolan listened to Hattori Heiji's analysis, and couldn't help but pat her chest and breathe a sigh of relief.
"Then again, did any of you see when Miss Naoko went out?" Maori Kogoro asked to the night watchman standing in the doorway.
"Nope! I didn't see her when I came over! Shimadai Junhui said in a soft and weak tone.
"Mr. Menxie, what about you? Did you see that? I found out that in the autograph book, your name is right behind Naoko? Maori Kogoro asked Miss Saori's father.
"No, there was no one in the room when I came!"
"So, Miss Nasako was the first to arrive here, and it wasn't long before she was asked by the murderer to go to the fishing net..." said Mori Kogoro touching his chin.
"Hey, the one who killed Shoumi and the one who killed Nasako shouldn't be the same person!" Rhoro Fukuyama stepped forward and asked Maori Kogoro.
"This is not very clear at the moment, but what is certain is that the murderer has taken Miss Naoko's dugong arrow." Maori Kogoro told everyone about his discovery.
"Could it be that the murderer came at the arrow of the dugong?" Yuanshan and Ye touched the dugong arrow that they had hidden on their bodies, feeling a little uneasy.
"Saori also disappeared after the Dugong Arrow was lost, could it be that she..." said Shimadai Junhui.
"Maybe she's been killed by now." Hattori Heiji said what Shimadai June did not finish.
"Are you talking about yarn?" An old lady next to her suddenly interjected, "I also saw her appear near the mermaid waterfall yesterday morning.
"I, too, saw her dangling in the forest near the waterfall from a distance." Immediately, another person chimed in.
