Chef in the World of Conan

The expectation of a little fairy tale made everyone cover their mouths and chuckle, and at the same time they were full of memories of the beautiful youth.

...At night, after everyone found a place to stay, they rested for a while, refreshed their energy, and set off for the Mermaid Falls. After all, they had to investigate the situation of Kadowaki Saori.

As a small island surrounded by the sea, American Island is cold at night, and the water vapor is relatively abundant. When everyone was in the old place, they found that the originally noisy Mermaid Waterfall and the surrounding lush forests seemed to be covered with a hazy veil. .

As the crowd approached, the rumbling sound of the water gradually became louder, and under the light of the two fires erected in front of the waterfall, Junhui Shimadai stood beside the bonfire candlestick, still surrounded by a large number of people.

"Hahaha, Heiji, I am lucky this time! Longevity and beauty..."

Kazuha couldn't help showing off to Hattori beside him, like a very young child showing off his new candy to his companions.

If it develops according to the script, if Hattori can praise a little at this time, the relationship between the two will take a step forward.

It's a pity that Hattori is a person who doesn't play cards according to the routine, and he can't help but start pouring cold water, "Idiot! Longevity is not a good thing, and living for a long time is very tiring..."

Idiot! People clearly care about beauty!!! He Ye's mouth twitched slightly, not only showing a black belly smile, but he waved his hand with a chuckle, "Don't worry, Heiji! I will help you pick up your bones.. ."

"what!"

"If there is a case, I will put the case file in front of your monument..."

"..."

He Ye Tongshoe is really a werewolf... "Everyone pay attention!"

Shimadai Junhui's shout attracted everyone's attention, "Now, please come to the front for the three lucky guests tonight!"

"Hi!"

The woman named Naiko walked out of the crowd and stepped over the string blocking the road with Ye He and the one they met at the gift shop before.

"There's another one, are you there?"

Shimadai-kun continued to shout.

"It's me!"

A middle-aged man with a shaggy beard walked out of the crowd drunkenly and showed the winning number card.

Junhui Shimadai finished presenting the three dugong arrows, cleared his throat, and said to the staff of the shrine next to him, "Now, please accept the blessing of the Light of Bliss..."

Hehe, Light of Bliss, Xu Yang acted in an instant, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, he remembered the classic saying in a certain drama 'Send you to the world of bliss...' With the operation of the shrine staff, bright fireworks took off, Blooming in the silent and dark night sky, the people at the scene couldn't help but indulge in it.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted in a flustered tone, "There seems to be a figure in the waterfall!"

Everyone hurriedly looked in the direction that the man pointed, and there was a figure in a long skirt hanging from the waterfall, only to see that her jet-black hair was constantly getting wet by the splashing water, and her body was also noisily. The waterfall swayed gently in front of it, like a ghost in the mountains... Above the waterfall was a lonely forest, Xu Yang and his party watched quietly as the shrine staff slowly pulled up the hanging female corpse.

The deceased is... the [-]-year-old Eilean Hara Sumi, the [-]-year-old who has met before, is also a believer in the legend of the mermaid, and the fiancée of Fukuyama Lulang.

"The preliminary judgment of the cause of death is that the neck was entangled with the body tied to the stake, resulting in suffocation.."

Hattori checked the corpse, and his face was ugly. He didn't expect that the client Kadowaki Saori hadn't shown up yet, and someone else had already had an accident.

"Hatto, I checked on the river bank just now, and there is a place where it collapsed..."

Conan hurried over from the side, "And nothing suspicious was found under the riverbank..."

In the original plot, Junhui Shimadai used the swimming ring to let the body of Ebinahara Sumi drift down, which is the only flaw left by Junhui Shimadai, who is a woman.

And Xu Yang had already used Apparition when everyone was going up the mountain just now, and put the swimming ring down the waterfall into his ring.

Unlike the last Moon Shadow Island incident, Xu Yang did not choose to prevent or detect the case, but took the initiative to clear evidence for Shimadai Junhui.

Is this woman still going to play the role of a longevity woman stupidly, what a fool! When did I change... "I think so."

Uncle Maori also checked the stake tied by the rope, and replied confidently, "Miss Shoumei came here alone and accidentally fell into the fast-flowing river.

Although she grabbed the bank rope fixed on the bank, the stake was pulled up during the struggle, and she was accidentally bound by the rope around her neck, which eventually caused a tragedy..."

......Fukuyama Lulang on the side also nodded in agreement, "The water level on the nearby river bank has risen a little, and this wooden stake is indeed relatively loose..."

"But what is this sister doing here? Isn't the meeting point of the Mermaid Falls down below!"

Conan frowned and thought deeply. Indeed, from the scene, it seems that what Uncle Mori said was indeed reasonable, but he always felt that something was wrong with the Hattori Department.

"Uh, this..." She should have come to the merman's cemetery!"

At this time, Naoko suddenly said, "Because the cemetery of the legendary mermaid is in this forest!"

"Nah...Nani!"

Everyone was shocked and stared at Naoko.

"On the night when the festival started three years ago, the warehouse of the shrine suddenly caught fire, and the skeleton of the mermaid found in it should be buried in this forest..."

Naiko waved her hand, "Is that so, Junhui"

"Uh, yes..."

Dai Junhui hesitated for a while before answering, "Listening to what you said, Shoumei really cares about that... grave..."

"No, wait a minute, what mermaid bones! Isn't that from a fairy tale?"

Hattori looked at the two who were constantly talking beside them, and interrupted the conversation with a confused expression.

"Well, actually, it's like this... five"

"At that time, a beam and pillar that was burned down happened to fall to the waist of the skeleton.."

Fukuyama Lulang slowly began to explain the reason, "And after the villagers moved the beams and pillars away, they found that all the places that were supposed to be the bones of the feet were all smashed..."

"Take a lot of money, because it is said that the waist of the mermaid is the body of a fish, so such rumors spread!"

It was also the first time that Yue Shui knew such an inside story, and he quickly deduced the mental state of the villagers at that time.

"Yes, so the reporters started to report that the merman's body was out here, and the longevity woman became a local celebrity."

Naoko's expression seemed a little wrong, and Conan also noticed this.

"What did the police say at the time?"

"Police investigation found the remains of a middle-aged woman.."

Shimadai Junhui's face was a little ugly, "It is speculated that it is a certain tourist "2"

In order to check if there are any... extra dugong arrows, the customer came to the warehouse to look for it, but unexpectedly encountered it..”

"The reason for the fire was because the candlestick burned out and accidentally dripped onto the flammable objects next to it.

However, after more than a year of investigation, the true identity of the woman has not been found out.

And the shrine decided to bury her in this forest."

"But then there were tourists who heard the rumors and secretly came to rob the tomb.

My great-grandmother also asked someone to move the location of the cemetery..."

Xu Yang glanced at the three people present, no matter what...

The deceased's fiancé, Fukuyama Rokuro, and Naoko, who grew up as a friend, have a cold attitude. It's hard to imagine that this is a friend who grew up together.

As for Shimadai Junhui, who looks sad next to her, who would have thought now that she is actually the real murderer in this case! "By the way, I suggest you focus on that man..."

Fukuyama Lulang suddenly opened his mouth and glanced at the... slightly drunk and swaying figure, "Yesterday I clearly remembered that it was Shoumei who got the number plate, but he brought it here in the end..."

"who is he"

Although Uncle Maori also likes to drink, he is also the first time he sees wine without leaving his hands.

"Why haven't you visited him yet? He's... Saori's drunk dad..."

At this time, He Ye and Xiaolan appeared from the crowd, panting and answering, "Oduosang, the Fukui County police said that the wind and waves at sea are too strong, and there is no way to get over in time."

"Then let's go to the longevity woman and ask! After all, from the current point of view, the clues point to the mermaid."

.. The Shimadai family mansion on Kuju Island turned out to be a dilapidated house.

This is something that no one thought of, and after Uncle Maori raised a question, Yue Shui also began to explain.

It turned out that the number plates on the island only cost 3 yen each, and there were only three [-]-number plates at a time, which meant that the Shimadai family had little profit.

Xu Yang couldn't help but shook his head, feeling unworthy of this family who had dedicated themselves to the island for decades.

In the original book, the residents of the island have always known that the Shimadai Junhui family dressed up as a longevity woman, but for their own benefit, they forcibly imprisoned the youth of several generations.

The Shimayo family is still living down and out, struggling to get by.

"dong dong dong..."

As the sound of knocking on the floor in the corridor gradually approached, the wooden door was pulled open, and a wrinkled, sparsely-haired old woman appeared in front of everyone, her face was pale, and her skin looked like a mountain witch.

"Do you have anything to do with me, please?"

Although Conan was shocked by the people in front of him, he shook his head and asked, "Mother-in-law, may I ask, how did you decide on the number of the dugong arrow drawn?"

Madam Changshou turned around with strange eyes, and just when everyone thought they could not get the answer, she suddenly laughed, "Hahaha! It depends on the situation! Sometimes, I also use the number of the racehorse"

How optimistic and strong a person appears on the outside, how desperate and sad he will be inside.

Looking at the cheerful longevity woman in front of him, Xu Yang also had a sour nose and rubbed his eyes lightly.

"great grandmother!"

Shimadai-kunhui's voice came from the other side, "I've already put your bath water!"

After hearing the shout, the longevity woman said regretfully, "If you have nothing to do, I will take a bath and sleep..."

"By the way, the little girl with the ponytail!"

The longevity woman suddenly turned her gaze to Kazuha in the room, "The arrow of the dugong is originally an arrow to exorcise and ward off evil spirits, if you lose it, the monsters will build a nest on you, and if it is a man, it will become a dead man The hungry ghost of the heart, and the woman will enter the water and turn into a speechless merman..."

"I advise you to carry it with you for a moment!"

Everyone looked at the swaying figure of Mrs. Changshou, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. They left this mysterious place and returned to the hotel where they stayed... "Teacher, there is really no evidence in this case..."

After Yue Shui poured a cup of hot water for Xu Yang, he replied very melancholy.

"Xiao Yueshui, I actually don't want to solve this case..."

Xu Yang watched the heat rising from the cup, like a mist shrouded in this small island, unpredictable.

"Teacher, don't you already have the object of suspicion!"

Yue Shui knew that Xu Yang's reasoning was different from that of most detectives, and that sometimes a detail might become the key to unlocking the truth.
