A Sorcerer in the Detective World

It was around 9:30 in the evening, in front of the Mermaid Falls.

In front of Ebihara Sumi's body, Sumi's father was still kneeling on the ground, sobbing non-stop, surrounded by several villagers on the island softly comforting him.

Uncle Mouri, Nanatsuki Koshizu, Xiaoran, and Kazuha stood together, watching this scene, continuing to hold their chins and thinking about the case. Suddenly, they saw Conan and Hattori Heiji walking away from a distance, with still something in their hands. Hold a life preserver.

Xiaolan and the others were slightly startled when they saw this, and then Uncle Maoli frowned and asked, "Hey! Where did you two brats go just now?"

"Ah? Didn't I just say that I would investigate the area nearby to see if there are any clues." Hattori Heiji replied casually.

Koshizui Nanatsuki's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly asked: "Then what did you find? This lifebuoy is..."

Koshimi Nanatsuki looked at the lifebuoy, and Conan smiled cutely and replied: "This lifebuoy is stuck on a rock at the mouth of the river. Hattori brother said that the murderer may have used this lifebuoy to carry out the crime. Killer..."

After Conan finished speaking, Hattori Heiji frowned slightly, turned to look at the waterfall, and suddenly realized: "...you mean to say that when the murderer wrapped a rope around Miss Sumi's neck and threw it into the river, in order to prevent the body from being The river bank is stuck, so we put the body on the lifebuoy and let her float down the river and be hung in the waterfall? In this way, we seem to have one more filter!"

"That's right, that's right!~" Hattori Heiji nodded. Xiaolan, Uncle Mouri, and Kazuye were all a little confused. They couldn't help but ask: "What filtering conditions are you talking about?"

"It's power!" Conan explained, "If the murderer is a very strong person, then he can throw Miss Shou Mei directly into the river with his strength. There is no need to use a lifebuoy. In other words, with the murderer's strength It’s not that he’s very strong, he might be a young man, a woman, or an old man with weak strength…”

"I-I see!" Xiaolan, Heye and the others suddenly nodded. Xiaolin Masaki next to them walked over again, bowed slightly and said:

"Hello everyone, the people in our village office have sorted out the people related to fish just now..."

Uncle Maoli was stunned when he heard this, raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said in surprise: "It's been sorted out so quickly? It's only been an hour..."

"The population on our island is not large, and the village office only conducted a survey half a month ago. Now it has just been reorganized..." Masaki Kobayashi answered casually, and then asked, "Would you like to do it now?" Start asking?"

"if you can,

Nature couldn't be better. " Hattori Heiji responded.

"Okay, then why don't you let me accompany you to visit them one by one." Kobayashi Masaki finished his words, followed by Shimabukuro Kime next to him:

"By the way, do you guys want to go to Saori's house? Speaking of which, Saori's father, Mr. Benzo, is also here now..."

Shimabukuro Kimie said, looking at a certain location. Conan, Xiaolan and the others followed Shimabukuro Kimie's gaze and saw a drunk man holding a small bottle of wine standing in front of the waterfall. , looking at everything around him with blurred eyes.

"Isn't that man the third person to draw a dugong arrow? I never expected that he is actually the father of Monkyo Saori." Hattori Heiji frowned.

Uncle Maoli also frowned slightly: "Really, a murder occurred here, and that guy is still drinking... Looking at how drunk he is now, it seems that we can't ask anything. Let's investigate the suspect first tonight , let’s visit again tomorrow…”

After Uncle Maori finished speaking, Conan turned to look at Shimabukuro June and said, "By the way, sister June, can we visit the longevity lady later?"

Shimabukuro Kimie was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Of course. However, because of the celebration today, my great-grandmother must be very tired, and I don't know if she is willing to see you... So, I Go home and take a look first. If my great-grandmother is willing to see you, I will notify Mr. Xiaolin and ask him to take you to my house..."

"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you." Conan and the others bowed together.

…

10:30 pm, American Forest Hotel.

In the living room of Shu Yunwen and others' suite, the TV was turned on. Shu Yunwen, Tsukamoto Sumi, and Koizumi Anko sat around the coffee table, looking at a sea map with many circles on the table:

"...So, if there are really mermaid graves near the American Island, are they at these locations?"

"Yes." Koizumi Hongzi nodded, "The notes at home record the range of mermaid activities. According to my speculation, these places are the most suspicious. Of course, the mermaid's grave may not be in these places. After all, it has never been Since the Middle Ages, the mermaid clan has been hunted and killed by humans. In order to hide themselves, it is possible for them to bury their graves in the deep sea or on land..."

"Well..." After listening to Koizumi Hongzi's words, Shu Yunwen pondered, and then said, "...Since these places are the most likely, let's focus on searching these places..."

After Shu Yunwen finished speaking, Loli Ai suddenly looked at the TV and said, "Is it really appropriate for us to go to sea tomorrow? The weather warning was just broadcast on the TV. The wind and waves nearby will be very strong tomorrow, and the ship may not be able to go to sea..."

After Loli'ai finished speaking, Shu Yunwen chuckled and said: "This problem is not big. With the help of Xiaoquan-san's magic, ordinary storms are nothing special...right, Xiaoquan-san?"

"That's right." Koizumi Anko nodded confidently, while Tsukamoto Sumi said next to her:

"But... even if our safety when going to sea is guaranteed, if the people on the island are not willing to take us out to sea by boat, there is nothing we can do..."

Shu Yunwen listened to Tsukamoto's beautiful words and said with a smile: "This is not difficult. With a lot of money, there must be a brave man. As long as you are willing to spend money, it is very simple to find someone to drive the boat and take us out to sea..."

As Shu Yunwen spoke, Koizumi Hongzi suddenly said: "You don't have to worry about the boat. I had considered using a boat before, but I didn't want to hire anyone else, so I bought a small cruise ship and brought it here..."

Small cruise ship? Bring it here?

Listening to Koizumi Hongzi's words, Shu Yunwen and others were slightly startled at first, and then all looked at Koizumi Hongzi's honey skirt.

Koizumi Hongzi looked at Shu Yunwen and others, her mouth twitched twice, and then she explained quietly:

"The cruise ship is parked at the dock, not on me..."

P! You really think my skirt can hold everything!
