Conan's Corpse Picker

The door rib yarn weaving was full of desire to survive, and suddenly remembered a reason.

——This island is "Mermaid Island".

Could it be that the truth is that mermaids can only live on the island and cannot leave, and the scope of the "island" is only limited to the land here?

Thinking of this, Menli Yasuo became more courageous, scooped up a handful of seawater and splashed it on the mermaid.

The mermaid felt offended, her expression turned colder, and she really wanted to shoot Saori Menri into the sea right now.

But remembering what Jiang Xia said before, she still didn't move in the end.

Sea water splashed on her.

Looking at this scene, Menli Shazhi burst into ecstasy—this mermaid is not afraid of sea water, that is to say, it does not enter the sea because it seems that it cannot leave the island!

Emboldened by the door rib yarn weaving, he got up.

She stepped on the sea water and ran all the way near the shrine, trying to call Junhui Shimabukuro out to ask for an arrow.

However, the shrine is a little far from the sea, and the sound of the waves and sea wind is not small. She shouted for a long time, but there was no movement in the shrine.

Only the figure of the mermaid slowly emerged. She was sitting on a tree with her fish tail hanging leisurely, looking at her playfully with a hint of malice.

Menli Shazhi dared not go ashore.She worried that the moment she left the sea, she would be torn to pieces by the mermaid.

After realizing that it was impossible to call out Shimabukuro Kimie in this way, Saori Kadori gritted her teeth and suddenly changed direction.

She ran for a while, swam for a while, and found a small boat at the pier. She climbed on it in a panic, planning to escape to another nearby island and escape today.The island is not far away.

The merman watched her steer the boat away, wagging her tail happily.

I didn't expect to just act according to what Jiang Xia said, and send people into the sea so smoothly.

The mermaid looked up at the sky.

A winged humanoid shadow was hovering above, urging her secretly like an overseer.

The mermaid received the signal, scattered the puppet, turned into a ghost again, and followed the boat to the sea.

……

Jiang Xia drove the puppet of Wutiangou, flew in the sky, and reluctantly lit another ghost mint.

Almost as soon as the smoke was ignited, it burned out quickly, and a handful of smoke drifted downward.

Almost at the same time, with some ingenious help, the waves became stronger and stronger beside the gauze boat, and finally overturned the rickety boat.

The door rib yarn fell into the sea, and the mermaid swam happily around her upturned boat a few times.She didn't step forward to slap Saori Menri into the sea, but just quietly watched the humans sink.

Faced with the lingering mermaid, Menli Shazhi finally broke down: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't lose the arrow on purpose, and I didn't mean to harm you three years ago. I just wanted to test if you were immortal...Obviously There are so many people who have lost arrows, you are obviously not dead, why don't you let me go! Why are you only staring at me!"

Tired of swimming, the mermaid jumped out of the water, sat on the boat, and looked at her with her chin resting, as if enjoying a scene of comedy.

Meng Lishazhi's mind was in a mess. She still had many other questions, such as why the mermaid who could only appear on Mermaid Island would chase her into the sea...

But at this moment, the moonlight suddenly dimmed.

Menli Shazhi raised her head in shock, and saw a young man wearing loose clothes like those in Zhiguai legends, flapping his wings and falling to the sea, hovering beside her.

Menri Shazhi stared at him blankly, and stopped thinking.

Maybe... this is actually just a nightmare?

It is understandable that a mermaid appears, after all, this is a mermaid island, but...why does this kind of thing, which is similar to the mythical tengu, suddenly run into the sea? !

Menli Shazhi was stunned, looked at the pretty hand, and was about to hold it, but at this moment, she found that Wu Tiangou didn't seem to be here to pull her - this monster held a hand that she was familiar with. mobile phone.

Under Menli Saori's blank gaze, Wu Tiangou said calmly: "Password."

Menri Yarn: "..."

She felt more and more that this was a dream, otherwise how could she jump so illogically—two monsters appeared at the same time, driving her into a corner... just to ask for her mobile phone password?

When things got to this point, Saori Menri became bolder.She looked at Wu Tiangou's outstretched hand, rushed over and hugged Wu Tiangou's arm, trembling and clinging tightly.

She reported a series of numbers after the whole person was on Wu Tiangou's body.

Wu Tiangou freed up a hand, entered the password, and the unlock was successful.

He threw the phone to the mermaid on the boat, and the mermaid raised her hand to catch it.

Watching this scene, Menli Shazhi suddenly had a bad premonition.

In the next second, her hand was suddenly empty—the fog dog tightly entangled by her quickly dissipated like a collapsing cloud. This speed and method...just like the mermaid just now.

... These two monsters are indeed a team!

Menri Yarn hugged empty, with despair in her eyes, she pinched her cramped leg, uttered a meaningless cry, and a wave hit her, throwing her into the sea.

The woman struggled to be swallowed by the sea, just like the mermaid that was swallowed by the fire in the warehouse, and never showed up again.

A few seconds later, a figure slowly emerged from the boat upside down on the sea surface.

Jiang Xia gathered Wutiangou's puppet again, and then reached out to the mermaid.

The mermaid tilted her head to look at him, raised her hand reservedly, and gave him a high five. When she was floating on the island, she would occasionally observe the young people returning home. They seemed to like it very much. way of celebrating.

For no reason, Jiang Xia was slapped with water.

He raised his hand to shake off the water drop, and stretched out again: "Mobile phone."

The mermaid was stunned.

After a while, she realized that she might have made a mistake, silently stuffed the phone into Jiang Xia's hand, then changed back into the form of a ghost, and plunged into the sea.

The moment she entered the sea, Jiang Xia quickly grabbed her tail and picked up the fish again—there was still business to do, so there was no time for her to be shy and shut up now.

By the way, he grabbed the cigarette butt that fell when the puppet was dismissed just now, and then flew back to Mermaid Island with one hand and the other hand the phone.

……

the next day.

Junhui Shimabukuro got up early, found a piece of rope, and planned to use it as a murder weapon.She cleaned up the shrine and looked at this small island where she had lived for more than 20 years with mixed feelings.

After killing Menli Saori today, she will not be able to turn back, and no matter whether she succeeds or not, no matter whether she is exposed or not, she will leave this island forever and never come back.

What's more tormenting is that there is a famous detective on the island, and I don't know if she can hide her plan from Jiang Xia...

After cleaning the shrine, Junhui Shimabukuro came to the beach, looking at the sea sadly, thinking about her thoughts, and strengthening her determination to kill.

Looking around, she suddenly felt something was wrong—something seemed to be stuck in the middle of the rocks by the sea.

Chapter 209 Jiang Xia Doesn't Seem to Be a Tool Man

Junhui Shimabukuro approached suspiciously, and after seeing the "thing" in the crevice of the reef, she couldn't help but let out a scream-it turned out to be a woman who was stuck there, wearing a blue dress and short brown hair... very similar to It is door rib yarn weaving.

Junhui Shimabukuro was silent for a moment, then mustered up the courage to approach, and turned the person over to check.The person stuck in the crevice of the stone was already dead, his face was swollen and deformed, but no matter how he looked at it, he was her murder target today.

This is a development that Shimabukuro Junhui never imagined.

She stared blankly at the corpse for a moment, regained her senses, straightened up vigilantly, and looked around.

After finding no one around, Junhui Shimabukuro gritted her teeth and rolled up her sleeves, secretly dragged the corpse away and hid it for later use—this corpse was originally part of her murder plan.

Although Saori Kamenori has somehow died by herself now...but the following plan, Junhui Shimabukuro still intends to proceed as usual.

……

When Jiang Xia woke up, he heard the released ghost tell him about it.He thought about it and didn't care.

Although it is not very legal to hide the dead body, the mermaid told him that the pier here is equipped with monitoring to prevent the ship from being lost.The appearance of Menli Shazhi stealing a boat and sailing out to sea yesterday has been captured by surveillance cameras.

And no matter how one checks, Saori Kadori did die in an "accident". With this kind of image, it is difficult to throw the blame for the murder on Junhui Shimabukuro.The corpse could just be stored with her for two days.

……

To deceive the new ghost, there are still two goals left.

The mermaid is really good at eating. Although she seems to be trying to be frugal, compared with other ghosts, this new ghost is obviously bigger in terms of ability and food intake.

Jiang Xia has not completely abducted the ghost, but has already started to worry about raising the ghost.

But worry about it, it's impossible not to.How could a qualified psychic let go of a ghost that slipped by, let alone such a rare species...

Jiang Xia, while painstakingly and happily counting the murderous spirits in his inventory, accompanied a few classmates to visit the specialty street again.I heard they only finished half of the shopping yesterday.

Because they met Junhui Shimabukuro and Saori Kadori on the boat before, a group of people were very interested in the legend of the mermaid, and inquired a lot of relevant information along the way.

Seeing this, the people in the specialty store recommended them to visit the shrine.

Several people came to the shrine and met Junhui Shimabukuro dressed as a witch.

Junhui Shimabukuro was wearing a red and white shrine maiden costume, holding a rod of coins in her hand, and her hair was tied up in a bundle, standing in the yard distracted.

At this time, a visitor suddenly came to visit, she turned her head, saw Jiang Xia at a glance, and remembered the corpse she had just hidden, feeling guilty for a while.

Fortunately, she had performed a lot of dramas before, and she was quite good at controlling her expressions, and she didn't show any flaws.

Junhui Shimabukuro welcomed a few people into the door, introduced the shrine to them with a natural look, and answered the questions of the three girls around "eternal youth".

Before leaving, Junhui Shimabukuro suddenly remembered something, she smiled at the girls: "If you are so curious, do you want to try it yourself?"

Suzuki Sonoko was startled, his eyes lit up, and he took out his wallet: "Do you want to sell us the Dugong Arrow?"

Junhui Shimabukuro laughed and shook his head: "Although I don't believe in its power, rules are rules. Dugong arrows cannot be sold directly. I said 'try it'..."

She took out three number cards: "It refers to this—this is the lottery used to draw lots at the festival. After all, the 'Mermaid Festival' is actually a lottery meeting, and we will issue 180 numbered lotteries in advance. The signed number is the same as that announced by grandma at the ceremony, and whoever holds it will get the Dugong Arrow."

The price of a ticket is only 5 yen, which is not even enough for the cost.

This made the three skeptical girls' favorability for the shrine soar, and their trust in the mermaid also increased significantly.

So when they left the shrine, they all had a number plate in their hands.

Junhui Shimabukuro looked at the backs of the high school students leaving, feeling a little tangled in her heart.

In order to achieve her murder plan, she needs a few people who are enthusiastic enough but not familiar with Menli Shazhi to accompany her.

These students from other places are undoubtedly very good candidates, but there is a detective inside... Do you want to involve these people?

……

The night when the Mermaid Festival started.

"Mingyang" appeared in the shrine in full costume.
