Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 205 Mermaid New Ghost

   In Jiangxia's impression, Shimabukuro Junhui was right:

  Dugong Arrows have no curse power.

   There are no mermaids on Mermaid Island.

   Even the "life-like" of longevity itself is an outright lie.

  ——The 130-year-old life pattern is actually made up by the women of the Shimabukuro family for generations.

   Until three years ago, the person who played the role of life was always the mother of Shimabukuro Junhui, Shimabukuro Naoko.

  Three years ago at the Mermaid Festival, Menri Saori and her two friends failed to draw the dugong arrow. The three of them were unwilling. After getting drunk, they wanted to go to the warehouse of the shrine to get arrows, but they happened to see "Fate" walking into the warehouse.

   So they got drunk, locked the warehouse door with laughter, set a fire, and wanted to test whether the "life-like" was immortal.

   Naoko Shimabukuro, who played the role of "Fate", did not survive. Before she died, she knew that she couldn't escape, so she called her daughter, Shimabukuro Junhui, hoping that she would continue to play the role of life and continue the human fish festival.

After   's death, Naoko Shimabukuro's lower body was smashed by the collapsed pillar, and the remaining skeleton looked like a mermaid without legs.

   Shimabukuro-kunhui didn't understand what happened, but according to what her mother said, she pretended to be life with tears in her eyes.

On the second day of the fire, the arsonist Menri Saori and her two friends saw the "mermaid bones" in the warehouse, and then saw that they were locked in the warehouse and burned yesterday, but they appeared unscathed in the crowd the next day. The "life-like" in front of him, in addition to fear, has also become the most loyal believer of the mermaid.

  …

   Therefore, a few days ago, after Menrisha lost the dugong arrow, he was sure that he would be punished by the merman.

   In a panic, she relied on her being a friend of Shimabukuro Junhui, went to Shimabukuro Junhui to ask for arrows, and revealed that she and her friends burned the mermaid three years ago.

   Shimabukuro Junhui was struck by lightning. She tried to tell herself in her heart that it was the "life-like" deceit that came first, and that both sides were wrong.

   But the killing intent that he finally endured was ignited by the savage manipulation of Menri Saori.

Menli Saori said excitedly: "If you can't get an arrow, at least tell me where the mermaid's tomb is - I remember that the charred mermaid bones in the warehouse were buried in the mountains at that time... I beg you. , I also want to have an immortal body just like my life."

   Shimabukuro Junhui was stunned.

  The legendary way to get the "immortal body" is to eat merman meat.

  ... In other words, this person wasn't enough to burn her mother to death, and now she still wants to eat the bones of the deceased.

   Shimabukuro Junhui was instantly engulfed by murderous intent, and decided to kill all the three people who set the fire.

  …

   Today, Shimabukuro Junhui went out with Mole Saori, which was also part of her murder plan-she accompanied Mole Saori to the dentist on the island, and planned to find an opportunity to deceive Mole Saori and kill her when she came back.

   However, what she didn't expect was that Menresa Ori invited a detective.

   And one of them is a famous detective who has been on many shows...

   When Menri Saori was talking nonsense to Hattori Heiji and others, asking him to help catch the mermaid, Shimabukuro Junhui secretly looked at Jiang Xia.

   Seeing that Jiang Xia happened to be looking at her, the young detective's eyes were clearly calm, and there was no expression on his face, but Shimabukuro Junhui was stared at and froze.

   She suddenly had the illusion that a sharp sword was about to fall...or a heavy club that was about to fall hanging over her head. Instinctively, a trace of fear came from the bottom of my heart.

   looked at each other for a moment, and when Shimabukuro Junhui was about to lose his expression, Jiang Xia stopped his head.

  Then the famous detective stared at the passing food truck and stopped looking at her.

   Shimabukuro Junhui secretly exhaled, her heart pounding.

  ...Why did Jiang Xia look at her with that kind of eyes? Is there any flaw in her?

   But her murder plan has just begun, how could it be directly seen through? ...This, this should just be an illusion under a guilty conscience.

  …

   A boat has its own mind.

   Before getting off the ship, Hattori Heiji returned the entrusted money to Menri Saori. He really didn't know what he could do, so he couldn't really go out to sea to catch mermaids.

   So he completely regarded this trip as a tour.

   After disembarking. Menri Saori left sadly, while Shimabukuro Junhui gently said goodbye to several people, and sent Monri Saori home.

  Although in the heart of Shimabukuro Junhui, the boat of friendship has long been broken, but at present, she must pretend that nothing happened and continue to play a gentle and considerate friend.

   Jiang Xia wanted to get the murderous aura of Shimabukuro Junhui first.

   But after the boat approached the island, the ghosts made other discoveries.

  ——There is a ghostly smell on the island.

   And the presence is particularly strong.

   Jiangxia is blowing a mild sea breeze, and his mood keeps getting better.

   Don’t call it Mermaid Island anymore, let’s change it to Paradise Island, which is exclusively for the European Emperor Spiritualist.

  …

  The Mermaid Festival is about to be held, and in the afternoon, the specialty street on Mermaid Island is very lively.

  The three girls jumped in happily. Heiji Hattori and Conan followed Toyama Kazuha and Maurilan, and quickly drowned in the crowd.

  Jiang Xia followed behind, wandering around, then secretly deviated from the direction, and went straight to the breath of the ghost.

   Walking through the lively specialty street, and then passing by a quiet grove, when approaching the seaside, Jiang Xia saw a simple shrine.

  The breath of ghosts comes from here.

  There are usually only two people in the shrine, one is the "Ming-like" who lives long, and the other is Shimabukuro Junhui, who takes care of the life-like. And they are actually the same person.

   Now, Shimabukuro-kunhui has gone home with Murizaori, and the shrine is suddenly empty.

   Jiang Xia was about to go in and have a look.

   However, as soon as he arrived at the door, he stepped down and suddenly dodged.

   Almost at the same time, a long and narrow translucent fish tail rubbed his side and slapped it vigorously.

   As soon as the hit was missed, the tail fell back to its original position, and the tail fin was tensed and moved slightly, as if the next attack was brewing.

   Jiang Xia raised his head and was slightly startled after seeing the scene in front of him.

   On the low torii gate, I don't know when there are more...

   A mermaid ghost the size of a human.
