Coroner Coroner

Saori Kadowaki has been tortured by this alcoholic father since she was a child. She often ran away from home in anger, and would disappear for ten days and a half months before reappearing in front of everyone.

"She must have left America Island again."

"When you have had enough of staying outside, you will come back."

Kuroe Naoko is not worried about her friend's situation at all.

And she added:

"Also, Saori's mental state is not good recently."

"Ever since she accidentally lost the 'Mermaid Arrow' she got at the festival a year ago, she has become suspicious all over her body, pulling us to say something all day long, she might be retaliated by Master Mermaid."

The so-called Mermaid Arrow is actually a limited edition festival peripheral made by Grandma Changshou.

Every year, only three "mermaid arrows" are awarded in the ceremony, and each arrow is tied with the hair of the long-lived mother-in-law who has "opened" herself.

Legend has it that the arrow contains the power of the mermaid, as long as it is carefully treasured, it can prolong life.

And if you accidentally lose or break it, you are blaspheming the legendary mermaid, and you will bring terrible bad luck to yourself.

Saori Kadowaki drew the Mermaid Arrow at the festival a year ago, but lost it accidentally.

So she believed in the mermaid legend, and since then she has been worried that she will be retaliated by the mermaid, and she has become supernatural.

"That's how it is."

"It is estimated that she was afraid that she would be retaliated by the mermaid if she continued to stay on the island, so she quietly left the American island."

Heijiang Naoko introduced the situation of her friend with such a calm expression.

"This..." Hattori Heiji couldn't help curling his lips:

"Our client, Ms. Kadowaki Saori, seems to be out of her mind."

Because I lost the souvenirs I got at the festival, I started to worry about being retaliated by the so-called mermaid...

He even believed in such absurd legends, and frightened himself for a whole year.

That Miss Kadowaki Saori was young, and she was already in the late stage of this incurable and severe superstition.

This kind of person is so convinced that his mind is sober, so can the distress letter she sent be a serious distress letter?

"Mr. Lin, we may have come in vain." Hattori Heiji shrugged helplessly, "The so-called distress letters were mostly written by Ms. Saori when she was insane."

"That's why she sent the commission letter but didn't answer the phone at all, and even played with us to disappear."

Saori Kadowaki looked like a lunatic no matter what.

And the "mermaid" mentioned in the letter seemed to come from her unrealistic fantasy, not a code word with special meaning as everyone guessed at first.

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji suddenly lost a lot of interest in this case——

The distress letter should not have been sent to him, it should have been sent to a psychiatric hospital.

"Don't let your guard down!"

But Lin Xinyi's attitude is still extremely serious:

"I'm sure—"

"That Miss Kadowaki Saori didn't disappear because she ran away from home."

"She must have encountered some danger!"

"This..." Looking at Lin Xinyi's incomparably solemn expression, Hattori Heiji suddenly became nervous.

But he still couldn't help asking: "Why do you say that?"

"Mr. Lin, do you have any important clues?"

Lin Xinyi did not answer.

He looked at the black impermanence of Osaka in front of him with a delicate expression.

I also thought of that Tokyo Bai Wuchang who was almost coming with me:

"Well... there is a clue."

"after all…"

How hard is that Miss Saori's life...

Can it hold the two of you at the same time?

Chapter 499 Master Lin vs. Sir Mermaid?

Lin Xinyi couldn't give any serious explanation at all, and after Hattori Heiji repeatedly questioned, he could only vaguely use the word "intuition" to perfunctory the past.

"Mr. Lin, didn't you teach us before that forensic medicine should not be preconceived or too subjective?"

"How can it be confirmed that Miss Saori was killed for no reason now?"

Hattori Heiji, a good student who firmly believes in science, couldn't help questioning the teacher who played crooked ways.

Lin Xinyi was stunned speechless.

After all, he relies on science for a living, and he can't promote those feudal superstitions in front of students.

And...Looking at Hattori Heiji's ignorant self-knowledge, Lin Xinyi knew in his heart that what he said was in vain—

The Grim Reaper will never realize that he is the Grim Reaper, which is one of the scientific laws he summed up.

So Lin Xinyi simply kept silent.

He turned directly to Miss Kuroe Naoko who claimed to be Kadowaki Saori's friend:

"Miss Heijiang, can you take us to Miss Saori's house?"

"It's best to help me contact all of Miss Saori's family and friends. I want to ask them about the situation one by one."

"This matter is very important."

"She is in a very dangerous situation and we must try to find her quickly."

Lin Xinyi's tone was extremely serious, a little scary.

A mysterious and unpredictable stranger suddenly popped up in front of him, and for no reason, with this attitude, said that someone around him must have a "bloody disaster".

The experience was indeed a bit creepy.

Especially for those who are a bit superstitious.

"This..." Heijiang Naoko couldn't help but feel her scalp tingling: "Where are you talking?"

"Shazhi is in danger? Could it be..."

"Could it be that Master Mermaid really came here to take revenge on her?"

Her expression was slightly nervous, as if she was joking to enliven the atmosphere, but her tone was relaxed but somewhat forced.

The young people on this American island did not know the truth about the longevity mother-in-law, but lived in the legend of the longevity mother-in-law since childhood.

So this Miss Heijiang Naoko obviously believed in the so-called mermaid legend.

But she still didn't believe what Lin Xinyi said:

"The yarn is well woven, how can it be in danger?"

"It's not the first time she has offended Master Mermaid... Even though so much time has passed, Master Mermaid has never, ever committed any crime..."

Heijiang Naoko muttered to herself, her voice getting smaller and smaller.

In the end, it was no longer a rebuttal to Lin Xinyi, but a self-consolation for himself.

"Miss Heijiang?"

Lin Xinyi interrupted her whispering to herself:

"You said that this is not the first time Miss Saori has offended Lord Mermaid."

"This means, before she lost that mermaid arrow, did she do something similarly 'blasphemous'?"

"Hmm..." Naoko Heijiang consciously slipped her words, and couldn't help closing her mouth with an ugly expression.

And her attitude towards Lin Xinyi also changed drastically:

"Hmm... Saori used to disrespect the gods and did a lot of stupid things."

"But Master Mermaid didn't blame her either."

Naoko Heijiang perfunctorily brought up the topic, and then issued an order to evict the guest in that tone of refusal:

"Also, please don't say any more weird things."

"I don't believe Saori is in danger..."

"If you want to find her, I can tell you the address of her home, you can find her by yourself!"

"Okay." Seeing that Miss Heijiang was not willing to help find her friends, Lin Xinyi didn't bother to ask any more questions.

After he was ready to ask for the address, he went to Saori Kadowaki's house to investigate by himself.

And Naoko Heijiang casually said the address, but suddenly pursed her lips before leaving, and couldn't help asking Lin Xinyi curiously:

"I just heard from you that you received a distress letter from Saori, right?"

"Yeah." Lin Xin nodded.

"Who the hell are you..."

Heijiang Naoko asked quite concerned:

"Why did Saori write to you for help?"

"This..." Lin Xinyi hesitated.

Generally, in order not to startle the enemy, and keep a low profile to prevent murders from happening, he would try to hide his identity during the "travel".

But now Saori Kadowaki, who wrote the distress letter, has been missing for three full days.

Cases may have occurred.

It is already impossible to stop it in a low-key manner.
