At the same time, Shimabukuro Junhui returned to the shrine. She took off her witch clothes and went to the bathroom to prepare to take a bath. Too many things happened today, and her body and mind were very tired.

  Then, a scene that shocked her happened. The swimming ring she used to commit the crime fell into the bathtub.

  "Has that detective already seen through all my methods? Or, he has been secretly following me, filming all my crimes, and trying to threaten me with this. It seems that after the revenge is over, I will only With him, I can't go back."

  Thinking that Ye Fan could use this to coerce her to do some strange things, she couldn't refuse at all.Shimabukuro Junhui's face flushed slightly, and he quickly shook his head to stop himself from thinking wildly.

  At night, Ye Fan, who was in a room of the kimono department, asked, "Hatten, did you find anything just now?"

  Hattori said dejectedly: "No, the scene seems to have been destroyed, and the key evidence has disappeared. The most obvious doubt is that the deceased was hanging on the waterfall, someone must have done it deliberately, it could not be an accident, but the scene There is no substantive evidence, which is completely counterintuitive."

  "Maybe, after the murderer committed the crime, he deliberately destroyed the evidence."

  "It's also possible what you said, but it's impossible for the murderer to keep any clues behind."

  "Then think slowly, I'm sleeping."

  Ye Fan doesn't think Hattori Heiji can discover the truth. Hattori Heiji is just an excellent detective, not a god.It is impossible for him to find the murderer without any clues and evidence!

  The next day, the sky was overcast, thunder rumbled, and it was raining outside.Hattori Heiji was alone and went out to investigate the case under an umbrella.

  Ye Fan came to the room with Ye and Xiaolan. Because of the rain and thunder, it was not suitable to go out to play. Ye Fan stayed in the room to play cards with the two of them.

  Ye Fan successfully taught Ye and Xiaolan to play Landlord, and let them understand the charm of national quintessence. Soon, Ye and Xiaolan fell in love with this poker game.

  The three of them played cards for most of the day, and Xiaolan basically won, and she was really lucky.As a result, he lost all the pocket money that Ye brought. As for Ye Fan, he couldn't lose all of his money.

  "Ugh... I'm not playing anymore, I've lost all my money."

  He Ye looked like he was about to cry.

  "Ah, I seem to have won too much."

  Xiaolan was a little embarrassed and was going to return the money to He Ye.However, Ye Fan stopped Xiaolan with his eyes.

  Ye Fan said: "He Ye, it's alright, maybe you can win all the time from the beginning."

  He Ye said sadly: "But, I have no money to turn around."

  Xiaolan quickly understood the intention of Ye Fan's eyes, and said to Ye Fan, "He Ye, don't you still have clothes?"

  He Ye was stunned: "Is it okay to use clothes?"

  Xiaolan nodded: "As long as you can beat me, I'll give you the money back."

  He Ye shook his head and said, "No...it's too embarrassing..."

  Xiaolan continued to persuade: "He Ye, in fact, I'm too embarrassed to win your money. As long as you can win my game, I will give you all your money back. You can't keep losing as long as you think about it. Just a win."

  Ye Fan said: "He Ye, if I win the landlord, you and Xiaolan will be together. In this case, do you still have to worry about not being able to win a game?"

  He Ye felt that what Ye Fan said made sense and agreed with Xiao Lan's proposal.

  As a result, when Xiaolan was with He Ye, Xiaolan deliberately lost, and when Ye Fan was with He Ye, Ye Fan lost on purpose. As for Heye winning the landlord, due to her low skills, Luck is far inferior to Xiaolan, and she can't win the alliance between Ye Fan and Xiaolan.

  "Ugh... I lost again. I lost all the clothes on my body and the clothes I brought. Why can't I win a game. I don't play anymore..."

  Seeing He Ye's helpless and embarrassed expression, Xiaolan quickly realized the joy of Sonoko playing tricks on her.

  Xiaolan smiled and said, "He Ye, it's okay, don't you have the last two pieces on you? As long as you win a round, I'll return all your clothes and your pocket money to you."

  He Ye shook his head, with an expression on the verge of crying: "No, absolutely not, Xiao Lan, return the clothes to me, I won't play anymore..."

  Xiaolan refused: "You still have a chance, He Ye, don't give up, just win a game."

  Ye Fan said: "He Ye, you have lost even your clothes now, you can't go out like this, you can't stay in the room all the time without going out, right. He Ye, believe in yourself, the next game will definitely be can win."

  "OK then."

  Confront Ye Xin and continue to fight.As a result, I lost everything naturally, and there was nothing left except a pair of white socks on my feet.He Ye sat on the tatami and burst into tears.

  "Ugh... why am I so unlucky, I can't win a game, it must be the two of you who united to bully me... woo, woo..."

  After seeing He Ye Qingchun's body, Ye Fan thought that he would continue to tease He Ye if it was not good, so he asked Xiao Lan to return the pocket money and clothes to He Ye.

  Ye Fan stroked He Ye's conscience and said, "He Ye, don't cry... I'll ask Xiao Lan to return your clothes and pocket money to you..."

  He Ye was stunned for a moment: "Is it okay?"

  Xiaolan smiled slightly and said, "Of course, playing cards is just for entertainment. We are friends, and we can't really want your things."

  He Ye made up his mind that he would never play cards with Xiaolan again. Luck was so invincible that he couldn't win against her at all.

  After He Ye put on his clothes, he glanced at Ye Fan involuntarily.

  My body was seen by Ye Fan, I was too shy.If only Ye Fan was my boyfriend, I don't need to care.Hey, how can I have this kind of thought, isn't the person I like Heiji?No, I don't seem to like Heiji that much now. .

Chapter 141

  In the evening, Eiraohara's family held a funeral, and most of the islanders came to pay their respects in black clothes, and the atmosphere was solemn and a little heavy.

  Hattori Heiji came to the venue to investigate the case.Ye Fan, Xiaolan, and Ye followed Hattori Heiji and entered the venue together.

  Shimadai Junhui stood up in surprise: "Are you here too?"

  "Yes."

  Hattori Heiji nodded with a smile, looked around suspiciously and said, "Huh? Why didn't I see Miss Naoko? Her name is on the register."

  Shimadai-kunhui muttered: "Naoko is here? But she didn't notice...-"

  "Did you go back again?"

  Hattori Heiji scratched his hair, looked left and right with a sullen face, and slammed open the wooden door leading to the corridor yard.In the darkness of the night, Naoko was tangled in a fishing net that was pulled apart with a terrifying expression like dried fish, and the sand was full of messy footprints.

  it's too late...

  Hattori narrowed his eyes and turned on his flashlight. Ye Fan and the others walked to the corpse together amid the exclamations of everyone in the mourning hall.

  "The time of death was less than an hour... The cause of death was suffocation by strangulation..."

  Hattori said after seeing the corpse.

  "What's left on the sand are the footprints of slippers and boots. Miss Naoko who was killed was wearing the slippers here, so these boots should belong to the murderer..."

  "Look here!"

  Ye Fan found an arrow mark next to the footprint and shouted, "This should be the mark of stepping on a dugong arrow, right?"

  Hattori thought: "Indeed, judging from the traces that the slippers stepped on, the dugong arrow may have fallen when Miss Naoko was arguing with the murderer, and was stepped on again... So the murderer's target is the dugong's arrow. Arrow?"

  Ye Fan lifted the fishing net surrounding the hospital and followed the footprints: "In short, if you follow the footprints of the boots, you should be able to know the killer's escape route..."

  However, these footprints extend all the way into the sea, and it is impossible to pursue them at all... There will be no gain in continuing to investigate.

  Hattori, who was searching for clues with a flashlight, suddenly exclaimed, "There seems to be something shiny around these footprints... Are they fish scales?"

  Ye Fan said, "If it's really fish scales, Miss Naoko's clothes are also stained with two or three pieces!"

  "How many of you!"

  At this time, a group of police officers with flashlights suddenly ran over and shouted, "What are you doing there?"

  "What to do? Of course it's an investigation case..."

  "That's the job of our Fukui Prefectural Police!"

  "Uh."

  Everyone angrily returned to the mourning hall and handed it over to the police to take over the on-site investigation.

  Xiaolan and He Ye, who were waiting by the corridor, hurriedly asked, "Did the murderer's footprints really disappear on the beach?"

  "Well... the police are currently comparing the footprint and style of those boots."

  Hattori looked at the busy police forensics staff: "Going forward along those footprints, there are still some fish scales on the ground..."

  "Fish, fish scales?!"

  He and Ye and Xiaolan hugged each other in horror.

  "Could it be... is the murderer a human, a mermaid?"

  "Fool, how could a mermaid wear high boots? This is just a small gesture to deliberately mislead everyone. I think the murderer may have walked all the way along the coastline and met next to the fishing net where he had an appointment with Miss Naoko. After walking back along the coastline, the footprints were washed away by the waves, and it looked like this..."

  Ye Fan asked, "Did anyone see Miss Naoko leaving the mourning hall?"

  Shimadai Junhui shook his head and said, "I don't know... When I came, she was no longer in this room..."

  At the Eirahara's house, the guests who came to the vigil gathered together. The Fukui prefectural police conducted a search on the crowd to investigate whether the murderer who stole the arrow of Naoko's dugong was among the crowd who came to hang the sacrifice, but only the arrows were on their bodies. Kadowaki and Kazuha obtained at the festival.

  "Is the person you see really Miss Saori herself?"

  Hattori doubted.

  "Absolutely not wrong."

  The islander affirmed: "Because on our island only her hair is dyed brown and she wears glasses, and Saori always wears blue clothes..."

  "If it's true, Miss Saori should be avoiding something, so she can't show up in front of everyone... Ye Fan, do you see what's going on?"

  "No, it's also a good thing to know that Saori, whose whereabouts are unknown, is still alive."

  Hattori looked at Saori's father and said, "I think the victims were killed or fled because they were involved in the dugong arrow... If only we could know what number Shoumei's number was last night. now..."

  Shimadai Junhui said with a smile: "This is very easy, because I will mark the owner of each number on the roster. Do you want to go and see that roster now? Because of what happened, I also still Haven't checked..."

  "Of course!" Hattori said in surprise, "It's really good!"

  The group came to the house of the witch Shimabukuro Junhui, and Shimabukuro Junhui took them to a room to flip through the cabinet to find the roster.

  "It's weird, I clearly remember that I should have kept things here..."

  "Can't find the roster?"

  "Well, only this year's is missing..."

  "Could it be taken away by that old woman?"

  Let's help each other, but find nothing.

  Shimadai Junhui shook his head: "Impossible..."

  Hattori asked, "Does anyone else know that you keep your stuff here?"
