Conan's Corpse Picker

She hunched over to the door, brandished a wooden pole with a flaming top, and set the paper door ablaze.

On the door that had been specially treated, three large characters that were burning gradually emerged: "three", "hundred seven", and "sixteen".

Toyama Kazuha, Suzuki Sonoko and Mori Ran arrived at the shrine early.

At this time, the three of them looked at the burning fire characters on the door, and then looked at their respective number plates, and sighed in disappointment: "All of them missed."

Jiang Xia looked at this scene in surprise.He remembered that in the original world line, Yuan Shan and Ye got the arrow of the dugong.

But in this world, there are indeed many details that are different from his "prophecy". I don't know if it's because of the butterfly effect, or if the world has its own ideas...

A few high school students came earlier and stood closer to the front.

Junhui Shimabukuro, who had done "fate", heard them muttering in disappointment, took a peek over, and moved a little guilty.

Yesterday, after sending out the number plate, Junhui Shimabukuro studied Jiang Xia's case-solving collection all night, but in the end she still didn't dare to choose these high school students as part of her plan.

So when she painted on the door, she cowardly avoided the signs of the three female high school students and chose one at random.

There are three Dugong Arrows. Except for this one, the other two have already been selected by her internally. Junhui Shimabukuro chose her two friends, Nami Unabura and Nao Kuroe.

These two, like Kamenori Saori, are the children of Junhui Shimabukuro, and they are also the enemies who set fire to the warehouse and killed her mother three years ago.

Nami Kaihara didn't notice the complicated gaze of "Mingyang", she covered her mouth and said with a smile: "I've won!"

Several people around looked at her enviously.

After announcing the lucky number lottery, while everyone else was focusing on the burning number, "Mingyang" returned to the room, changed his disguise, and changed back to the appearance of Junhui Shimabukuro.

Junhui Shimabukuro came to the door and stood in front of everyone.

Her eyes flicked across the crowd, and she didn't linger on the two former friends.

After the crowd quieted down, Junhui Shimabukuro announced with a solemn expression: "The arrow of the dugong will be issued in one hour. Please go to Mermaid Falls."

This is a necessary process for awarding Dugong Arrows every year.The lower part of the Mermaid Falls is more open, where they can set off the "Light of Blessing".

Chapter 210 The Teammates Picked Up

Hattori Heiji yawned, feeling a little bored, and Conan was similar.

But on this island, apart from the Mermaid Festival, there are no other interesting entertainment items.Now that they have all come, although they failed to draw the Dugong Arrow, the ceremony for promulgating the Dugong Arrow is said to be very lively, and fireworks will be set off. Why don't you go and have a look.

Of course Jiang Xia agreed with this proposal.

There is still an hour to go before the ceremony of awarding the Dugong Arrows, so there is no need to hurry.So he went to have dinner with some classmates first.

While passing the time in the restaurant, Jiang Xia condensed the puppet of Wutiangu in a nearby hidden place, then bent over consciously, took the mermaid together, and flew to the mountain above the mermaid waterfall.

Below the waterfall is the scene where the dugong arrows will be issued in a short while.

Junhui Shimabukuro was not at the scene at this time, she was also in the mountain above the waterfall-she and Nami Kaihara made an appointment to meet here.

Junhui Shimabukuro is the maiden who sent the arrow of the dugong, or Nami Umihara's younger brother. It is not difficult to use this to ask her out alone.

Nami Kaihara got the arrow and was in a good mood. She remembered the py deal Shimabukuro Junhui had made with her before the number was issued, and went up the mountain to attend the appointment without thinking too much, and wanted to ask Shimabukuro Junhui what to ask.

——In Kaihara Nami’s view, everyone on the island knows that she is a friend of Junhui Shimabukuro, and also knows that she has always wanted the arrow of the dugong.She thought that Junhui Shimabukuro gave her the Dugong Arrow because she had been entangled with her for a long time, and this time she had a secret meeting with her to discuss with her how not to expose such py behavior.

However, Nami Kaihara came to the river above the waterfall as agreed, but did not see Junhui Shimabukuro.

Nami Unabura was a little puzzled, Junhui Shimabukuro was always punctual.She was about to send a message to inquire about the situation, when suddenly there was a sound behind her.

She turned her head and saw Junhui Shimabukuro turning out from behind the tree.

Nami Kaihara was taken aback, why did she feel that this hair girl... today's appearance is a bit strange.

She wondered: "You are..."

Shimabukuro Junhui is wearing a shrine maiden costume, with a life buoy on her arm and a rope in her hand. The costume and props look very mismatched, as if she went to the wrong set.

Shimabukuro Junhui had a trace of sadness and resentment on her face, she didn't speak, and walked closer.

——She was planning to hang the person on Mermaid Falls after strangling Unabara Nami to death.This kind of operation is quite laborious, so Junhui Shimabukuro specially prepared a lifebuoy. At that time, as long as the body of Unami Nami is placed on the lifebuoy, and then let the lifebuoy flow down the waterfall along the water, people will naturally be hung up , the lifebuoy will go along the river.

At that time, if other people can't see that this is a homicide, then let it become an accident, if it can, then this will be the mermaid's revenge.

Nami Kaihara felt that the atmosphere was not right, and she retreated a little in a panic.

Junhui Shimabukuro put the lifebuoy aside, picked up the rope, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

She was about to put the rope on the person, but at this moment, there was a sound of splashing water, and the time of closing and opening her eyes, the Haiyuan Na'vi who retreated to the river disappeared.

Shimabukuro Junhui was stunned, but the sound of rushing water around her didn't stop, but intensified instead. She followed the sound and was shocked to see Nami Unabura was swept into the river.

The river was not deep, but no matter how hard Unabara Nami struggled, she couldn't stand up straight. It seemed that something was entangled with her under the water.

Junhui Shimabukuro watched as Nami Unabura was washed by the water and turned several times. At the same time, the protective rope by the river also fell off and fell into the river. on her neck.Then Kaihara Nami went down the river, fell off the cliff, and hung in front of the waterfall, just as Shimabukuro Junhui had expected.

As she was walking, she suddenly heard movement behind her.

Junhui Shimabukuro turned her head vigilantly and saw a young man coming out from behind the tree.The man had a pair of huge black wings folded behind his back, and he was wearing simple clothes with a style between a kimono and a monk's robe. A pair of dark golden eyes that were different from human beings were watching her faintly.

Shimabukuro Junhui's pupils trembled, and her sight was difficult to focus on the wings behind Kiritengu, as if hearing her world view shattered to the ground with a "click".

At this moment, Junhui Shimabukuro remembered belatedly. When Nami Kaihara was struggling in the river just now, although it was very dark, she seemed to have indeed seen something underwater.

If the premise of "there are monsters in the world" is taken as the premise, then Nami Unabara who was entangled in the water just now... turns out to be very similar to the legendary mermaid.

Nami Umihara hasn’t got the dugong’s arrow yet, so naturally she won’t be harmed by the mermaid because of “losing the arrow”. However, judging from what happened just now, the mermaid seems to have a very clear hatred for her. Think again Menri Shazhi who drowned in the sea inexplicably...

Shimabukuro Junhui's heart suddenly moved.

That mermaid... that mermaid that appeared in the river and killed Nami Unabara before she could do it, could it be...

Just thinking of this, the foggy dog ​​in front of her moved and walked towards her.

Shimabukuro Junhui shuddered all over, put away her thoughts, and looked at Jiang Xia nervously.

Kiritengu walked up to Junhui Shimabukuro and reached out to her.

As the hand approached, Junhui Shimabukuro stopped breathing. In the deep night, her mind was full of "I'm going to be caught and eaten by monsters." She thought rationally She hid, but was actually too frightened to move, she couldn't move the last step, and could only watch Wutiangou raise her hand towards her...

Then took a handful of air.

Soon, Wu Tiangou withdrew his hand and looked down at his palm.

Although he still had that indifferent expression, and there was no smile at the corners of his lips, Junhui Shimabukuro still felt inexplicably that Kiritengu's mood seemed to be much better than before.

Shimabukuro Junhui was in doubt, looked down at herself in fear, and didn't know what was taken away from her for a while, could it be the legendary...life force?

Jiang Xia carefully put away the sweet and sour fish-flavored rare murderous aura just torn off Shimabukuro Junhui.

Two of the people Shimabukuro Junhui wanted to kill had already died on their own. Part of her murderous aura failed to pour on the dead, and it would dissipate by itself in a few days.

Come tonight, Jiang Xia looked at the shaky murderous aura on her body, and felt that she was really sorry for not taking it, so she walked away.

As for whether this action is abrupt or not, Jiang Xia doesn't care.

Anyway, wearing a vest today, it doesn't matter if you behave strangely.

Chapter 211 It Was Really Just an Accident

Moreover, Junhui Shimabukuro is a quasi-murderer and will not tell what happened today.Even if she wanted to talk about the topic of "Mermaid and Wutiangou partnered to kill", it would only make other people look at her with sympathy, and add comments like "The little girl is so stupid at such a young age".

...Generally speaking, this is a useful and safe tool that can be handed over to her to do some trivial work that is not illegal, so as to avoid unnecessary waste of killing intent.

Jiang Xia first used the tips of her wings to sweep the lifebuoy on the tree into the river, and pushed it to the mermaid.

Then he looked at Junhui Shimabukuro and ordered, "There is one thing you need to do."

Junhui Shimabukuro's eyes followed his wings, and when Jiang Xia made a sound, she was inconspicuously excited - this monster can actually talk!

Jiang Xia didn't care about her horrified gaze, and continued: "You remember to play a little trick on that short-haired woman's arrow to make it fragile and easy to break."

When Shimabukuro Junhui heard this, she was slightly taken aback. The woman with short hair... She remembered that among the three people who drew arrows today, only Nao Kuroe had short hair.

And Nao Heijiang happened to be her last target of revenge.

From Menri Saori, to Unabara Nao just now, to Hei Jiang Nao... This cannot be a pure coincidence.

Junhui Shimabukuro suddenly had some guesses, she looked at Jiang Xia in a daze: "Are you here to avenge the mermaid? That 'mermaid' that was burnt to death in the warehouse three years ago?"

Wutiangou ignored the question, flapped its wings, whipped up a gust of wind, and disappeared into the night.

When you are wearing a vest, when you face troublesome questions, just pretend you don’t hear them, it’s very convenient...

When Junhui Shimabukuro was leaning against the tree weakly, looking at the flying tengu and saving her crumbling world view, behind her, the mermaid in the river gave her a complicated look, then pushed the lifebuoy and swam away, busy To destroy the evidence.

The river is narrow in places and prone to getting stuck.The mermaid wanted to throw the lifebuoy into the sea to destroy it. She pushed the lifebuoy for a while and felt that the speed was too slow, so she opened her mouth to bite the lifebuoy to make it smaller.

Before she can bite down, a hand reaches from the side and pulls the lifebuoy away.

Jiang Xia rescued the innocent life buoy, looked at the stubborn mermaid in front of him, and sighed.

Then he wiped the water and fingerprints off the buoy, deflated it, and stuffed it back into the shrine.

When leaving the shrine, Jiang Xia looked at the drowned corpse of Monori Saori, washed to the shore by the waves and hidden by Junhui Shimabukuro, and ordered the mermaid to carry it away, swim farther, and tie it to the heavy Throw it back into the sea.

After solving the matter here, Jiang Xia scattered the puppet, and returned to the original consciousness.

The main body is still hanging up in the restaurant at this time, surrounded by classmates chatting about what they saw today.

It was already dark already.

After eating, several people sat down for a while, and then went to the bottom of Mermaid Waterfall together to watch the excitement.

There are already tourists gathering here one after another.There are also islanders who are busy building venues and lighting fires.

Before the ceremony, Junhui Shimabukuro appeared under the waterfall.

She stood in front of the divine fire, staring at the moving flames, her expression was occasionally a little dazed.But generally speaking, her psychological quality is not bad. By the time the grand event started, she had returned to normal, at least on the surface, no flaws could be seen.

Junhui Shimabukuro is holding three magic arrows, and invites the person who gets the arrow of the dugong to come forward.

Heijiang Nao and a middle-aged aunt climbed over the fence, took the number plate, and received the arrow.

But the third "lucky guy" never appeared.

Shimabukuro Junhui closed her eyes, resisting to look at the waterfall behind her, she urged, of course, still no third person stepped forward.

Suzuki Sonoko mixed among the onlookers and sighed regretfully. She had some impression of the other person who had drawn the arrow before: "I knew that sister didn't want the arrow of the dugong, so I should have asked her to buy the number plate just now... Such a waste."

Jiang Xia analyzed with style: "When she got the arrow just now, she looked very happy. It shouldn't be that she doesn't want it, but that something has delayed her."
