And Hattori Heiji immediately greeted him and asked:

"Is there anyone on the waterfall?"

"Did you see the photo who dropped it upstream."

"No." Lin Xinyi shook his head solemnly: "When I went up, I didn't see anyone up there."

"But there's a long stretch of stream upstream from the falls."

"I couldn't be sure at the moment that the other party moved too fast, and fled quickly after throwing the photo;"

"The location of the parabola is farther upstream, so people can't find it."

"These problems can only be known after a detailed on-site investigation is completed."

"but…"

Lin Xinyi paused slightly, and said in a strange tone:

"If these death photos were really just thrown into the water by someone from upstream."

"Then,," he couldn't help but secretly looked at Junhui Shimabukuro:

This Miss Miko has been under the waterfall just now, presiding over the ceremony under the eyes of everyone.

There's no way she'd have the time to go up the waterfall and drop a picture.

Could it be that the murderer is someone else?

The former Kadowaki Saori, and the current Ebihara Sumi, their deaths have nothing to do with Shimabukuro Kimie?

"No." Hattori Heiji shook his head with an ugly face. "Mr. Lin, you yourself have discovered..."

"It's another 'perfect alibi,' isn't it?"

"I really have no evidence now, but the detective's experience tells me."

"The more perfect a person's alibi is, the more suspicious it is."

This theory is bullshit in reality.

But in this scientific world, all criminals have general thinking and extraordinary brains.

They never disdain simple killing methods, and are more willing to use various complicated blindfold methods to create alibi for themselves.

Then gradually a strange phenomenon appeared:

For those without an alibi, even the Megure Police Department and Mori Kogoro can see suspicious suspects at a glance, and they are often not the real murderer.

On the contrary, those whose alibi is perfect and who seem to be completely innocent are the ones who will end up crying on their knees in the famous detective execution song.

"Just like Miss Shimabukuro."

"First an hour of 'rest' at the shrine."

"And here's another photo of a waterfall falling in front of her in full view."

Looking at the gentle and harmless Miko, Hattori Heiji's eyes were complicated:

"Her alibi is so perfect."

Chapter 508 The Tomb of the Mermaid

Shimabukuro Junhui first lied to obstruct the investigation of the old case, and then showed abnormal emotional changes. There are indeed many doubts about him.

Coupled with Ke Xue's "intuition" brought about by years of detective experience, Hattori Heiji had to suspect that the witch lady was the murderer.

But the job of a detective is to make bold assumptions and carefully verify them.

Now that the bold assumption is over, when it comes time to carefully verify it, he encounters a problem:

"There is no evidence, and all assumptions are empty talk."

"We couldn't even find the bodies of the dead."

"The only clues at hand are these photos."

"And these pictures..."

Hattori Heiji stared at the photo in his hand, his eyes were deep and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Vaguely, he seemed to have found some clues:

"Mr. Lin, let's go to the upper reaches of the waterfall to investigate the site."

"Since the photo floated down from upstream, the murderer must have been there before."

"There may be some clues to be found there."

Hattori Heiji made a suggestion, and this is the only breakthrough they can find now.

"Yeah." Lin Xin nodded.

But he didn't leave in a hurry, but also thoughtfully looked at the photo of Ebihara Sumi's death.

Then, he looked up at Junhui Shimabukuro and Naoko Kuroe.

Shimabukuro Junhui is now shocked and saddened by the passing of her second friend, just like her performance when she heard the news of Kadowaki Saori's death before, so that ordinary people can't see anything wrong at all.

And Naoko Heijiang's reaction was even more intense than last time.

Kadowaki Saori and Ebihara Sumi were murdered one after another, causing this godly woman almost to have a complete mental breakdown.

In fear, she pinned all her hopes on that young lady.

I saw her leaning towards Junhui Shimabukuro with a pale face, stammering intermittently, as if begging in a low voice, asking Miss Miko to ask Grandma Changshou to "cast spells" to protect her.

"Miss Heijiang."

Lin Xinyi stepped forward with a subtle expression, interrupting the conversation between the two of them.

He looked at Naoko Heijiang sharply, and asked straight to the point:

"Now Saori Kadowaki and Sumi Ebihara have been killed."

"For their deaths, you..."

"Do you know something?"

"I..." Heijiang Naoko's tongue was trembling: "I don't know."

"No, you should know something."

"Otherwise, you don't need to be so afraid of 'Master Mermaid''s revenge."

"There are so many people on the island, why did it choose the three of you?"

Lin Xinyi asked without hesitation:

"You said it was because you were disrespectful to Lord Mermaid."

"Then can you tell me specifically what disrespectful things you have done?"

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere suddenly became delicate.

Heijiang Naoko trembled and said nothing.

The Miko lady who was comforting Naoko Heijiang with kind words at the side suddenly became deep and complicated.

She looked at Naoko Heijiang quietly.

It seems that they are also expecting the other party's answer.

In other words, confession, introspection, belated repentance.

But... Naoko Heijiang still didn't tell the truth in the end.

She just shivered, and said lightly, "No, it's nothing... We just made some remarks that questioned Mr. Mermaid. That's all in the past. I didn't expect it to cause... this kind of trouble now."

Between the words, there is a strong sense of perfunctory and evasion.

A slight disappointment flashed in Shimabukuro Junhui's eyes.

And Lin Xinyi also gave up the idea of ​​directly prying Naoko Heijiang's mouth open:

"Well, since you're still so stubborn..."

"Then please do it yourself!"

"Master?" Naoko Heijiang was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

The master sent such a sentence "good for yourself".

It's like when a doctor asks "Can I get in touch with relatives" after receiving the test report without mentioning the condition... It makes people feel a chill down their spine.

"What do I mean, you know very well."

"I understand everything."

Master Lin's words are unpredictable.

Heijiang Naoko became more and more frightened.

But even so, she still clenched her teeth tightly, refusing to tell the truth of the year.

Lin Xinyi frowned in disappointment.

Junhui Shimabukuro on the side didn't respond any more, at least, others could no longer read her emotions.

"Miss Heijiang."

Lin Xinyi sighed lightly.

He finally left her a piece of advice:

"I'm going to investigate the scene on the mountain now."

"You stay here and don't move around, stay with other tourists and villagers."

"Is there anything we can talk about when we come back, understand?"

Naoko Heijiang was slightly taken aback.

How could she not understand, this is a way of life that the master pointed out to her.
