Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends

When Yuya and his friends arrived at the hospital, they happened to meet Naoko Kuroe who was leaving.

She didn't know what happened to her, but her face was full of excitement. Seeing them, she simply said hello and left in a hurry.

The expressions of the friends were a little subtle. Why did she look so happy when her friend was attacked?

There was no time to think about it. The most important thing now was to see how Sumi Ebihara was doing.

Several people came to the ward and heard a fierce quarrel at the door.

Sumi Ebihara screamed: "Dad, send me to Honshu Island! Now! Immediately! I can't stay for a minute!"

Sumi's father sounded very embarrassed: "No, the wind and waves on the sea are too big now, and the boat can't sail at all."

Sumi Ebihara refused and continued to make a fuss: "I don't care, can't you drive the boat yourself? Do you want to watch your daughter die here?"

Sumi's father was very embarrassed and speechless.

His boat was a good fishing boat, but it was not a small yacht. One person couldn't drive it at all and needed several crew members.

If you go out to sea in this weather, you may capsize and die if you are not careful. It is almost impossible to survive if the boat capsizes at sea, especially when the waves are still big.

Then everyone on the boat will die.

Risking the lives of a whole boat for one person? Even if Sumi's father loves his daughter, he can't do such a thing.

Sumi's father had to try to comfort his daughter: "Sumi, be patient, wait until the sea is calm and I will personally take you to Honshu Island. I will ask Rokuro to accompany you first, so you don't have to worry, right?"

Ebihara Sumi actually knew that it was impossible to go out to sea in this weather, and what she said just now was just to vent her inner anxiety.

When she heard that her father would ask Fukuyama Rokuro, her mouth softened.

After a while, Sumi's father pushed the door open and came out. He was a little surprised to see Yuya and others standing outside the door.

He looked at the group of young people for a few times, and bowed to Yuya and Hattori Heiji: "You rescued Sumi last night, right? Thank you very much!"

Hattori Heiji didn't want to talk about this topic. To be honest, he went there with the mentality of pulling a corpse.

He was more concerned about the second attack of the mermaid, so he said: "Although it may not be appropriate, we want to ask about the mermaid attack just now."

Sumi's father did not object. Before he found Fukuyama Rokuro, with these young people accompanying him, the mermaid should not dare to attack his daughter.

As for what they would talk about in the room, he didn't care at all. What was more important than saving his life?

He hurriedly said: "It's okay, you guys go in quickly, I still have to find Rokuro for help." After that, he bowed again and left in a hurry.

The three detectives entered the ward, and Sumi Ebihara saw them and her face fell immediately.

"What kind of detectives are you? You can't even catch a mermaid. I was almost killed, you know!"

Hattori Heiji's mouth twitched slightly, and he was a little angry. He said rudely: "Ms. Sumi, we have warned you before. It was you who forced to conceal the things that happened back then. How can we catch... mermaids without any clues?"

Ebihara Sumi's face changed: "Are you blaming me?"

Hattori Heiji was speechless for a while. Why is this woman unreasonable?

Conan also drooped his dead fish eyes. Fortunately, Xiaolan would not be so unreasonable - she knows physics.

Yuya sneered in his heart. It seems that the ingredients are not enough.

He said coldly: "Forget it, Hattori, let's go back. Miss Sumi is so powerful, let her find a way to deal with the mermaid herself." He winked at Hattori Heiji and Conan.

Conan received Yuya's signal accurately, and immediately understood, and said in a pinched voice: "Since Sister Sumi feels that we don't need to help, let's go back to sleep, I'm so sleepy!" Hattori Heiji immediately took over the conversation: "Okay, okay, I'm almost exhausted after running all day today. I wouldn't have wasted my energy if I had known." The three of them yawned and walked towards the door while talking. "Hey!" Sumi Ebihara was a little panicked. She watched the three people walk out of the door without looking back, and the room suddenly became quiet. She looked around nervously, especially in the corners where the lights couldn't reach, and she always felt that something was hidden there. Crash! A strange sound came from nowhere, and Sumi Ebihara's face turned pale. Is that mermaid here again? She was like a frightened bird, and screamed loudly: "Come back! Don't leave! I'll tell you what happened!" Three heads immediately popped out of the door, smiled at each other, and walked into the room. "Tell me, what happened three years ago?What happened?" Yuya crossed his arms and said indifferently.

Hattori Heiji and Conan put on an expression of listening to a story.

Ebihara Sumi hesitated for a long time, and finally told the truth about the fire under Yuya's urging.

Three years ago, in the Mermaid Festival, Ebihara Sumi and two other friends unfortunately did not draw the number of the Dugong Arrow. This was the countless times.

They were very unwilling, so they ran to drink a lot.

Some people will fall asleep directly after drinking too much, and some people will do things they dare not do when they drink too much.

Ebihara Sumi and the other two belong to the latter.

They took advantage of the alcohol to go to the warehouse of the shrine to steal a Dugong Arrow-as a friend of Shimabukuro Kimie, Ebihara Sumi knew that the Dugong Arrow was usually stored in the warehouse.

Just don't know the exact location, but the warehouse is so big, it won't take too much to find it .

When they came to the back of the shrine, they saw the longevity woman entering the warehouse.

Under the influence of alcohol, they didn't want to steal the dugong arrows anymore. Another idea suddenly occupied all their thoughts - they wanted to see if the longevity woman really had the ability to be immortal.

So they locked the warehouse and set it on fire, and then left.

Then the next day, they were horrified and surprised to see the longevity woman appear in front of everyone again.

The warehouse was locked yesterday, how did the longevity woman inside come out of the sea of ​​fire? There is only one answer - that is, the longevity woman really ate mermaid meat and had an immortal body.

"That's what happened in the fire three years ago." Ebihara Sumi hugged herself and trembled slightly, "The longevity woman was not burned to death, so the bones in the warehouse must be those of a mermaid!"

"The mermaid who was burned to death three years ago, now its family is looking for revenge on me!"

"You have to save me! ”

She didn’t dare to think about mermaid meat anymore. She wasn’t a long-lived woman. She would die if she was killed. What’s the point of thinking about it if she couldn’t eat mermaid meat?

Hattori Heiji, Conan and Yuya looked very unhappy.

“What a joke!” Hattori Heiji punched the wall with a loud bang. He yelled at Ebihara Sumi, “Do you know who was locked in the warehouse and burned to death by you three years ago?”

Ebihara Sumi was stunned. She saw Hattori Heiji’s angry look and suddenly had a bad premonition: “That’s not a mermaid... who is it?”

Hattori Heiji clenched his fists and his eyes were full of anger: “That’s a person! A living person! Your friend, the mother of Miss Kimie!”

Ebihara Sumi’s eyes suddenly widened, and she subconsciously refuted: “Impossible, Kimie’s mother died in a shipwreck a long time ago, how could it be her? ”

Yuya sneered: "How can it be impossible? We learned the truth from the village chief. This secret is only known by the older generation in the village."

Then he told them about how they found the mermaid tomb and discovered this secret.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Ebihara Sumi didn't believe what Yuya and the others said at all. She shook her head vigorously and dared not accept the fact.

"What they said is true. The corpse is my mother."

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded at the door.
