The sixth man of Conan's police academy

Chapter 674 Like a mermaid swimming upstream

Out of caution, Sasashima Ritsu went to the top of the Mermaid Falls alone, but what was strange was that he did not see Ebihara Hisumi who was waiting for Shimabukuro Kimie here. After waiting for 5 minutes and still not seeing anyone, he had no choice but to head down. Walking, there is less than 10 minutes left before the release of the dugong's arrow. It is not certain that she will go down from the other side.

But after the celebration started, everyone had arrived at the place where the dugong arrows were awarded, but Ebihara Hisumi still did not show up.

Sasashima Ritsu looked around, trying to find the other party's figure, but couldn't find him no matter how hard he looked.This is completely unreasonable. You must know that Ebihara has clearly hit the dugong arrow. With her superstitious attitude, it is impossible not to come and take the arrow.

"Hey, Onizawa, there seems to be something wrong." Hattori Heiji, who was standing next to him, said with a serious face. He had a vague bad thought in his heart. He always felt that Ebihara Hisumi's absence was a very bad thing.

"Well, I haven't seen her figure yet."

Dressed in a miko costume, Shimabukuro Kimie came to the Mermaid Falls. Seeing that it was time to award the dugong arrows, she said, "Then, please invite the three lucky viewers who won the dugong arrows tonight to come on stage."

"It's coming, it's coming!" Yuan Shanhe Ye raised her little hands excitedly. Although she was not superstitious, the fact that she was lucky enough to draw a dugong arrow proved that today was a good day, and it might be a good day for her to confess her love.

She walked forward with a slight blush, thinking of Xiaolan telling her through text messages about Kudo's confession to her. Even if she didn't witness it with her own eyes, but thinking that they actually confirmed their relationship under the Big Ben Clock Tower in London, she felt that the scene was very special. Beautiful and very romantic.

I really don’t know when Heiji, a slow guy, will confess to me...No, no, I don’t know if this fool likes me or not. Maybe he didn’t act because he just regarded her as a sister and had no love. idea.

Hey, I don’t know why, but the dugong arrow in my hand suddenly doesn’t smell good anymore.

Hattori Heiji stared at half-moon eyes and looked at Toyama Kazuha, who was sometimes happy and sometimes unhappy, with his mood written all over his face. He put his hand on Sasashima Ritsu's shoulder in confusion and asked: "What is that stupid woman doing? Hide?" Face-changing skills?”

"You don't understand a woman's mind. This is more difficult than any reasoning."

"It's really awkward for you to say this... huh? That uncle seems to be Kadowaki Saori's father. Did he also get hit by a dugong arrow?"

When Ritsu Sasashima heard these words, he couldn't help but look at the middle-aged man who was staggering and smelling of alcohol. His drunk appearance didn't look like he was interested in immortality. Then he probably wanted to Sell ​​the dugong arrows for wine money.

He glanced at another short-haired girl who had drawn an arrow, leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "Is that girl Naoko Heijiang you mentioned earlier?"

"Yes, how could you tell?"

"Didn't Shimabukuro Kimie just say that? Her targets are Ebihara Hisumi, Kuroe Naoko and Kadowaki Saori. All three of them yearn for the Dugong Arrow, and she is the one who can control the number plate. The original plan must have been to design these three people to draw dugong arrows, and the reason Toyama was able to draw them was because Kadowaki Saori was missing."

Hattori Heiji felt that Sasajima Ritsu's analysis was quite reasonable. He raised his lips slightly and said: "It seems that Kazuha is still a little lucky, so now the question arises... How did this uncle Kadowaki win the dugong?" Arrow?"

"You can tell from Miss Shimabukuro's expression. She was also surprised that he was the one who came to take the arrow." Ritsu Sasashima raised his eyebrows. The case became more and more complicated and confusing, and the characters involved became more and more complicated. More and more are coming.

"After the awarding of Dugong Arrows is over, I need to ask this uncle."

At this time, Shimabukuro Kimie's mood was a little complicated. She couldn't help but search among the crowd, but she didn't see Ebihara Hisumi.

She who cheated on the number plate naturally knew who could get the Dugong Arrow. She knew very well that Saori's father, Kadowaki Benzo, couldn't get the Dugong Arrow... so how could Sumi's number plate be in his possession? In hand?What happened between him and Sumi?

"Jun Hui? Prepare for the next stage."

After being reminded by the staff, Shimabukuro Kime realized that he was in a daze and lost his composure. He quickly recovered and stopped his suspicious eyes. Zhan Yingye smiled and said: "Now, please accept the light of bliss!"

The so-called light of bliss is fireworks. The silver-white fireworks blooming in the night sky are indeed beautiful, but some people soon discovered the heresy.The middle-aged man wearing glasses looked at the mermaid waterfall in front of him with a pale face and exclaimed: "That! What is that?!"

His voice also brought Sasashima Ritsu and Hattori Heiji, who were admiring the fireworks, back to their senses. The two of them looked in the direction the man was pointing, and their pupils shrank suddenly when they saw the figure appearing in the Mermaid Falls.

The waterfall flowing down the river made the figure hazy, with long black hair hanging down, and the body gently fluttering left and right like a mermaid swimming upstream.

"Damn!!"

Ritsu Sasashima never thought that the case would still happen. He obviously went to check above the waterfall. Could it be that the murderer was hiding in the forest at that time?The murderer didn't want to appear because he saw himself there. Then the person who could accomplish this operation was not the people present to participate in the ceremony of awarding arrows?

He opened his long legs and ran quickly towards the top of the Mermaid Falls, followed naturally by Hattori Heiji and Shimabukuro Kimie who looked panicked, because she realized that what she had prepared was very likely to be used by others. Who would be the person being used?Who still wants to kill Shou Mei? !

Ritsu Sasashima, who rushed to the scene of the crime, quickly took out the dust-free gloves from his pocket and put them on his hands before leaning down and pulling up the hemp rope wrapped around Sumi Ebihara's neck. He dragged her hard and carried her to the shore. At the same time, he was There was also a wooden stake that was dragged up.

"How's it going? Is there any help?!" Hattori Heiji asked, panting slightly.

"It's hopeless. I'm afraid the body has been hanging there for a while."

Ritsu Sasashima shook his head regretfully. He squatted down to check the injuries on his neck. After noticing two strangulation marks, he understood that this was a homicide and definitely not an accident or suicide.

"Touhou...Shoumei, how, how could this happen?!" Shimabukuro Kime, who rushed to the scene, did not want to believe that this was true. Her red eyes could tell that she was really sad for Shoumei's death, even if she Tried to kill her.

Ritsu Sasashima glanced at Shimabukuro Kimie coldly. Her suspicion could not be ruled out yet. The premise was of course that she had an accomplice, but who the accomplice was was unknown.

He stood up with one hand in his pocket, pulled Shimabukuro Kimie's arm, and took a few steps closer to the forest. He deliberately lowered his voice to prevent others from hearing the conversation.

"Ms. Shimabukuro, you didn't say what excuse you used to attract her here. Can you elaborate?"
