“At that time, a burnt beam and column fell exactly to the waist of that skeleton ..” Fukuyama slowly began to explain the reason, “And after the villagers removed the beams and pillars, they found that all the places that should have been foot bones were smashed…”

“Take the open, because the mermaid legend is that the waist is a fish body, so there are such rumors circulating!” Yue Shui also knew such an insider story for the first time, and quickly deduced the psychological state of the villagers at that time.

“Yes, so at that time, reporters began to report that there were corpses of mermaids here, and Longevity Po also became a local celebrity.” Nasako looked a little wrong, and Conan noticed it.

“So what did the police say at the time?”

“After the police investigation, they found the bones of a middle-aged woman..” Shimadai Junhui’s face was a little ugly, “It is speculated that a certain traveler “727” came to the warehouse to look for it in order to check if there were any extra dugong arrows, but accidentally encountered an accident..”

“The cause of the fire was because the candlestick burned out and accidentally dripped onto the flammable material next to it. However, after more than a year of investigation, the true identity of the woman was not found. And the shrine buried her in this forest. ”

But later, some tourists heard the rumors and secretly came to rob the tomb. My great-grandmother also asked someone else to move the location of the cemetery…”

Xu Yang’s gaze swept over the three people present, whether it was the deceased’s fiancé Ryuro Fukuyama, or Nasako, who grew up as a friend, their attitude was cold, it was hard to imagine that this was a friend who grew up together.

As for Shimayo Junhui, who looks more sad next to her, who would have thought that she is actually the real culprit of this case!

“By the way, I suggest you keep your eyes on that man…” Fukuyama Ruro suddenly spoke, his eyes glancing at the slightly drunk and shaky figure, “Yesterday I obviously remembered that it should be Shoumei who got the number plate, but in the end he brought it ..”

“Who is he?” Although Uncle Maori himself likes to drink, he is also the first time to see alcohol without leaving his hand.

“Why haven’t you visited him yet?” He’s Saori’s drunken dad…”

At this time, Kazuha and Xiaolan appeared from the crowd and replied breathlessly, “Odosan, the Fukui Prefecture police said that the wind and waves at sea are too big now, and there is no way to rush over in time.” ”

“Then let’s go to the longevity mother first and ask!” After all, from the current point of view, the clues are all pointing to the mermaid ..”

。。

The Shimaro family mansion on the island turned out to be a dilapidated house.

This was something that everyone did not expect, and after Uncle Maori raised questions, Yue Shui also began to explain. It turned out that the number plates on the island cost only 500 yen each, and there were only three number plates at a time, which meant that the profit of the Shimayo family was almost very small.

Xu Yang couldn’t help but shake his head, feeling unworthy of this family that had dedicated decades to the island.

In the original work, the inhabitants of the island have always known that the Shimayo Junhui family dressed up as longevity mothers, but for their own interests, they imprisoned the youth of several generations. And the Shimayo family is still living a sluggish life and living hard.

“Knock knock…”

As the sound of tapping on the floor in the corridor gradually approached, the wooden door was pulled open, and an old woman with a wrinkled face and thinning hair appeared in front of everyone, her face was pale, and her skin was like a mountain demon mother-in-law.

“Are you looking for me for something?”

Although Conan was shocked by the person in front of him, he shook and asked, “Mother-in-law, may I ask, how is the number of the arrow of the dugong decided?” ”

The longevity woman turned around with strange eyes, and just when everyone thought they couldn’t get an answer, she suddenly laughed, “Hahaha! It depends! Sometimes, I also use the number of the horse race~”

How optimistic and strong a person is on the outside, how desperate and miserable his heart will be.

Looking at this longevity woman who seemed to be cheerful in front of him, Xu Yang also had a sour nose and rubbed his eye sockets.

“Great-grandmother!” Shimayo June’s voice came from the other side, “I’ve put your bath water away!” ”

When Changshou heard the shout, she said regretfully, “If you have nothing to do, I will take a bath and sleep…”

“By the way, that little girl with a ponytail!” Changshou Po suddenly moved her gaze to Kazuha in the room, “The arrow of the dugong is originally an arrow to exorcise evil spirits, if you lose it, the monster will nest on you, the man will enter the earth and become a hungry ghost without a heart, and the woman will enter the water and turn into a mermaid who cannot speak…”

“I advise you to carry it well for a moment!”

Everyone looked at the slightly shaking figure of the longevity mother, and they couldn’t help but sigh with emotion, leaving this place where the gods were chattering and returning to the hotel…

“Teacher, there is really no evidence at all in this case..” After Yue Shui poured a cup of hot water for Xu Yang, he replied very melancholy.

“Xiao Yueshui, this case, in fact, I don’t want to solve it…” Xu Yang stared at the heat gradually rising in the cup, like the mist shrouded in this small island, unpredictable.

“Teacher, do you already have someone to suspect!?” Yue Shui knows that Xu Yang’s reasoning is different from most detectives, and maybe sometimes a certain detail will become the key to unlocking the truth.

“Yes! If my expectations are correct, there will probably be a fire in the warehouse tomorrow! It’s the same as three years ago…”

The next day, the sky was still gloomy, and occasionally there was a roaring thunder.

Everyone came to Mr. Umirahara’s house to offer their condolences, and after registering their information, they entered the inner hall of Shoumi.

“Eh! Mr. Māori, you are here too! Everyone opened the door, and what came into view were Shimayo Junmei, who looked up and asked, and Monwaki Benzo, who was kneeling beside him.

“That’s right!” Uncle Maori suddenly whispered, “That Monwaki Benzo-san, didn’t you come home last night?” ”

“Yes, I heard he had an all-night drink with tourists on island 0.5… By the way, did you see Naoko? ”

He glanced at Ye and Xiaolan and replied a little strangely, “We obviously saw her on the list just now, maybe she went to the toilet!” ”

“Kazuye, or should we go find her?”

“Uh-huh!”

“Ah! ….”

Just as Xu Yang was about to put on incense, there was a sudden scream of He Ye and Xiaolan in the courtyard. Everyone tensed up, and immediately got up and rushed to the scene.

In the dark night, a fishing net was open, and Nasako was hung on the fishing net like a salted fish, her face was terrifying, like a fish that had fallen after fighting with the fisherman for a long time, and there were messy footprints on the sand, as if something was flashing on the ground.

“It’s fish scales…” _
