Conan light and dark

Chapter 72
After Shimabukuro Junhui left, Shiji came out of his hiding place.

Walking to the river, watching the river flowing rapidly towards the cliff.

Many things, like this river, cannot turn back.

Lifting his foot, with a force weighing hundreds of kilograms, he stomped it down, stepped on the bank, and directly crushed a piece of the river bank.

With this, maybe it can explain that Ebihara Sumi slipped and fell into the water.

Of course, in addition to this, there are other things to solve.

The preparations that should be made must be done well, and Conan and Hattori Heiji cannot be seen.

Of course, now we can only say that we are doing our best and obeying the destiny.

After it was done, I made a little modification, and then I checked that there was nothing missing, and I left directly.

I ran to the bottom of the waterfall as fast as I could and walked downstream along the river.

After a long time, I found the swimming circle washed down along the river. After searching carefully, I also found the number plate, and then put the number plate away.

In the original book, this number plate was picked up by the father of Menshe Saori, and the size can be regarded as a clue.

So put it away directly, and find a chance to put it back in Ebihara Sumi's pocket later, or directly destroy the corpse and wipe out the traces, so as to reduce the risk of Shimabukuro Kimie being discovered as much as possible.

Of course, what needs to be done now is to dispose of the swimming ring without leaving any traces.

……

Although it seemed that it would rain anytime, many people gathered under Mermaid Waterfall to watch the celebration.

There were also some people who were not drawn and were not interested in the following activities, so they did not come more.

Of course, this has no effect.

On the clearing facing the waterfall, Junhui Shimabukuro had already come here to prepare, standing between two braziers erected, wearing a priestess costume, with a serious expression.

The people around were not making any noise, they were all watching the celebration going on.

"Now invite the three lucky guests to come forward tonight."

"Yes, come right away!"

Yuan Shan and Ye, who were lucky enough to be drawn, responded happily, then pulled up the rope in front of them, and walked over directly.

In addition, Heijiang Naoko also came out.

But the last one didn't show up.

Junhui Shimabukuro was not surprised by this, but she still shouted a few times.

"The last lucky guest, who is the last one to be drawn? Please come to the front."

So waited for a while.

However, no one came out.

Shimabukuro Kimie seemed to frowned, but didn't say much.

In fact, such a result is normal. In the original book, Saori's father picked up the number plate only by coincidence.

In the original book, Junhui Shimabukuro didn't know, so she was a little surprised when Saori's father came out at the end, but even if no one came out, it didn't have any effect.

So Shimabukuro Junhui didn't say much. Although the audience was a little confused, they thought that the third person who was drawn had just given up, and there was nothing to care about.

In the end, the dugong arrows were only sent to Toyama Kazuha and Heijiang Naoko.

After that, the fireworks were set off on one side.

A burst of fireworks flew into the sky, bursting out with brilliant light.

Everyone's eyes were raised accordingly.

Although it is not a fireworks display, it looks good.

However, following the burst of light, sharp-eyed people still saw it, and pointed in the direction of the waterfall in astonishment.

"Hey, look, what is that?"

"what?"

Mori Kogoro and the others, who happened to be right next to the person who made the sound, turned their eyes to look in the direction the person pointed.

Others who heard the voice also looked over there.

Open your eyes and look carefully, there seems to be a black shadow in the waterfall reflecting the faint light.

"boom!"

The fireworks bloomed again, bringing a brief light to the world.

Although it was short, it was enough.

The woman with long-colored hair swayed with the impact of the water, like a mermaid swimming upstream in a waterfall.

Maybe this is her most beautiful time, and of course it is also her ugliest time.

……

After a long time.

In the four seasons, Hattori Heiji, and the one named Fukuyama Rokuro worked hard to pull up Ebihara Sumi's body.

He found that Ebihara Sumi was wearing a dress without pockets, so Shiji kept the number plate away.

Anyway, no one would suspect him, let alone search him.

Find an opportunity later, just destroy it directly.

Putting Ebihara Sumi on the ground, it is obviously hopeless.

But Junhui Shimabukuro spoke with a sad tone.

"Shoumei... Did she commit suicide? Or did someone kill her?"

Four Seasons can tell that Junhui Shimabukuro is really sad.

How to put it, she was also a friend who played with her since she was a child, even though the other party killed her mother.

However, death is like a lamp going out, and the grievances and grievances are over.

Before anyone else could say anything, Siji spoke directly.

"The possibility of suicide is the greatest."

"Eh? Why?"

Xiaolan was the first to ask.

The others also looked at the four seasons with doubts on their faces.

There was something more in Conan's eyes, because he knew it.

When encountering any cases before, Siji always pretended not to know and didn't bother to pay attention.

Why are you so active today?

Siji ignored them, and directly pointed to the corner of the river that was trampled by him and said.

"Look, this place is obviously newly collapsed. It is estimated that this woman came here for some reason and then stepped on it. As a result, it collapsed and fell into the river. In a panic, she grabbed these fixed ropes. As a result, because the water was too fast, the wooden stake fell off, and in a panic, he put the rope around his own neck, and when he rushed down the cliff, he was hanged to death."

Everyone looked in the direction pointed by the four seasons, and indeed found traces of a new landslide.

Conan and Hattori Heiji also went to have a look, and it was confirmed that it was a new landslide.

So they couldn't help frowning.

Is it really just an accident?

Siji looked at these two people, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

Sometimes I really hate such people who want to find the so-called truth regardless.

On the contrary, Shiji admires Mori Kogoro more than these two high school detectives.

Mori Kogoro encounters a case, and usually directly thinks it is an accident, a suicide or something, while Conan and Hattori Heiji generally directly think it is a homicide.

Although it turns out they were indeed right.

But do they really want the world to be full of murders?Does one person hurt the other?
Although the reality of the world is like this, human beings are indeed animals that like to kill each other and hurt each other.

But it is precisely because of this that human beings pursue beauty.

That's why Four Seasons appreciates Mori Kogoro's attitude.

It would be great if the actual death of people was just a pure accident, a simple birth, old age, sickness and death.

Unfortunately, Four Seasons also understands that it is impossible.

And Mori Kogoro seemed to think so, and nodded in agreement with Shiji's words.

"Yes, the possibility of accident is the highest."

"But the celebration in the village is obviously held under the waterfall, why did she come here?"

Hattori Heiji raised such a doubt, which is indeed a doubt.

Obviously the celebration is going on below, why do you have to come to the forest above at this time?

Hattori Heiji and Conan suspect that someone deliberately called her out, killed her, and then pretended to be an accident.

After all, the landslide by the river can also be faked.

But at this time, Naoko Heijiang who followed up suddenly spoke.

"Perhaps, she wanted to come here to find the mermaid's grave."

"what?"

"Because the mermaid's grave is somewhere in this forest."

Three years ago, Shimabukuro Junhui's mother was burned to death and was passed down as a mermaid, which aroused great attention.

In fact, the older generation of villagers here is very clear about who it is.

But young people don't know, and neither do people outside.

So even things like tomb robbery happened, nothing can stop people's greed for immortality.

In the end, the long-lived woman, Shimabukuro Junhui, had her grave moved to this forest directly. Except for a few people, no one knew about it, and neither did the young people in the village.

Said such a thing, and then there is no more.

Conan and Hattori Heiji didn't know whether Ebihara Sumi came here because of this.

So Fukuyama Rokuro went down directly holding Ebihara Sumi's body.

Hattori Heiji and Conan continued to search everywhere, as if they wanted to see if they could get more clues.

Siji looked at their backs, thinking whether it would be better to kill them, so as to keep the secret...

Well, this is just a joke.

It's impossible to kill them, but it's possible to get in the way.

And the best way to get in their way...

"Hey, uncle, I suddenly remembered that Sister Lan hasn't betrothed to someone else yet, right?"

"Huh? What do you want to do, kid?"

"Why don't you think about me? You see, we are from the same family. Sister Lan and my senior sister are both family members. Wouldn't it be better to get closer?"

"What you said... makes sense."

Mori Kogoro seemed to agree.

But Xiaolan was a little unhappy.

"Father, Four Seasons, what are you talking about?"

"It's about your life, how can you say it's nonsense?"

Mori Kogoro stared, and seemed to speak with great momentum.

Judging by that posture, it seems that he is really thinking about it seriously.

So Conan immediately became calm and couldn't care less about investigating the case at this time, so he ran over directly to keep an eye on the latest developments.

And the four seasons decisively turned their target to Yuanshan and Ye.

"He Yejiang, if Sister Lan is unwilling, why don't you think about it? Although I'm not inhumanly handsome, but it's not bad, and I'm young and rich. I'm a high-quality potential stock, and I can write lyrics and compose music. You see How about it?"

Si Ji looked like he was selling himself, and ran to Yuan Shan and Ye and said with a smile.

As for Mori Kogoro, he still had an expression of approval.

"That's right, it's indeed a potential stock. I think it can exist."

"What... what? What does it matter to me?!"

Yuan Shan and Ye pouted, expressing their displeasure, and even glanced at Siji.

So Four Seasons came to tease her again.

And Hattori Heiji, naturally, was not calm like Conan.

And compared to Conan, he is even more restless.

"What did you guy say?"

"What's none of your business? He Yejiang is not your so-and-so."

Four Seasons retorted directly.

In this regard, Hattori Heiji was really a little speechless.

Although they are childhood sweethearts, they really haven't confirmed their relationship.

So even if someone pursues Yuan Shan and Ye, it seems that he really has no position to intervene.
