Ke Xue: I know magic and I want to destroy the world

Chapter 396 The vibrating mermaid

Above the Mermaid Falls.

Hisumi Ebihara held a number plate tightly.

Her face was full of excitement!

There is an unbelievable feeling.

Just before the lottery ceremony started, Shimabukuro Kime actually took the initiative to find her and made a promise.

As long as she can draw the Dugong Arrow, she can use it to exchange for the specific location of the Mermaid Tomb!

Hearing this news, Ebihara Hisumi was naturally very excited!

She was one of the culprits of the fire that year, and she ignited the fire only after watching Changshou Po enter the shrine warehouse!

As a result, the next day, she saw Changshou Po appearing in front of everyone unscathed as usual!

From that moment on, Hisumi Ebihara, like the other two, completely believed in the legend of the mermaid!

Especially when it was later learned that Changshou Po took out a strange skeleton without a lower body from the warehouse and secretly buried it in an unknown place.

She firmly believes that it is the mermaid skeleton that can make people live forever!

Thinking that she was about to obtain the mermaid skeleton and obtain the power of immortality, Hisumi Ebihara could not restrain her inner excitement.

She was so immersed in excitement that she didn't even notice the figure slowly approaching.

Behind Ebihara Hisumi, Shimabukuro Kimie walked over quietly.

She took off her coat, revealing her fair body, and then put the rope prepared in her hand around Ebihara Hisumi's neck.

Feeling the threat of suffocation, Ebihara Hisumi immediately woke up!

His hands subconsciously grabbed the rope around his neck, struggling desperately, and the number plate in his hand fell to the ground!

Shimabukuro Kimie pulled her and jumped into the water.

Crash.

A huge fish tail rose from the water and slapped the water.

Chi Chufeng, who was watching, couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Shimabukuro Kimie's legs turned into fish tails!

Is she a mermaid? !

After giving birth to a fish tail, Shimabukuro Kimi moved freely in the water.

She tightly strangled Ebihara Hisumi's neck and forced her into the water.

Ebihara Hisumi showed a crazy expression.

She ignored the rope around her neck and greedily scratched Ebihara's tail. She even opened her mouth and took a hard bite.

However, Shimabukuro Kimie's fish tail was very hard, and only a few fine scales came off in this bite.

In such madness, Ebihara Hisumi gradually became powerless, and finally lost her voice completely!

Shimabukuro Kimie pulled out the wooden stake by the river, put the rope on it around Ebihara Hisumi's neck, and then dragged her to the middle of the river and down the river.

It created the illusion that Ebihara Hisumi accidentally fell into the water, but was strangled to death by a fixed rope during the struggle!

After doing these things, Shimabukuro Kimie swam to the shore, dragging the fish tail with his two slender arms, and climbed to the shore with difficulty.

She lay on the shore with her tail raised.

The huge fish tail began to vibrate as if it was plugged in.

During this shaking, the fish's tail gradually separated, and finally magically transformed back into two long, slender, white legs.

Looking at this scene, Chi Chufeng fell into deep thought.

A living mermaid, still a mermaid.

What to do with her?

Is it sliced, braised, or something else?

What an exciting choice.

An hour later, under the Mermaid Falls.

The rushing water fell from the sky and fell into the pool, causing countless splashes.

In front of the waterfall, the ceremony of awarding dugong arrows is about to begin.

The villagers on the island have set up a simple ceremony site, with two bonfire stands in it, and the bright firelight illuminates the surroundings.

Next to the ceremony venue, Shimabukuro Kimie was still dressed as a miko, standing with several mikos from the shrine, confirming the dugong arrows.

The villagers held torches and maintained order at the scene.

In the front row of the crowd, Conan curled his lips.

"If you think about it carefully, this Dugong Festival is actually not interesting. If we weren't waiting for Miss Junhui to take us to Miss Saori's house, I really want to go back to the hotel now, take a bath and rest early."

Hattori Heiji pointed at the ceremony venue directly in front of the waterfall and said: "Wait a moment, Miss Kimie is on the stage, and the awarding of dugong arrows will begin soon."

At the same time, Shimabukuro Kimie, who was standing in front of the ceremony venue, said:

"Welcome everyone to Mermaid Falls to witness us awarding the Dugong Arrow! Next, we ask the person who won the Dugong Arrow to come forward and receive the Dugong Arrow!"

Hattori Heiji curled his lips, took the number plate, slipped through the hemp rope used for isolation, and walked to Shimabukuro Kimie.

Immediately afterwards, Kuroe Naoko and a drunkard carrying a wine bottle also walked forward.

When Conan saw the drunk man, he was stunned for a moment, and then said to himself in surprise: "That's strange, who is that man? Did he also draw the Dugong 0.2 arrow? Did I see it wrong just now?"

Conan turned around and looked around.

It seems that Miss Sumei is not seen.

Shimabukuro Kime awarded the Dugong Arrow to the three people, and then said: "Now, please let the three recipients of the Dugong Arrow accept the Light of Bliss!"

At the same time, the villagers setting off fireworks next to them lit the fireworks, and a string of fireworks flew into the air and exploded in the night sky, illuminating the dark waterfall at the same time.

At this moment, Conan, Hattori Heiji and the people nearby were all stunned.

"T-Who is that?"

"How is it possible? Someone is hanging in the waterfall!".

Chapter 397 Why does she have this thing in her mouth?

Hattori Heiji who was on the stage said hurriedly: "Miss Kimie! Please stop the ceremony immediately, someone is hanging in the waterfall now!"

"Ah, okay!" Shimabukuro Kimie also turned to look at the waterfall, quickly asked the villagers to extinguish the fireworks, and ran to the upper reaches of the waterfall to check the situation.

In front of the waterfall, because of this sudden change, the crowd watching the ceremony became noisy, discussing among themselves in low voices.

Ten minutes later, with the help of the villagers, the victim's body was finally lowered and placed next to the pond.

Around the waterfall, the crowds who came to watch the ceremony have been evacuated.

Only Hattori Heiji, Conan and others were left at the scene, as well as shrine maidens such as Shimabukuro Kimie and the villagers who helped the dugong celebration.

Conan and Hattori Heiji began to inspect the corpse.

Hattori Heiji muttered while checking.

"Chi Chufeng really hit the mark. Sure enough, someone died."

"Conan, you are really the God of Death."

Conan had a black line on his forehead, "Hey, he's talking about the two of us!"

Hattori Heiji chuckled and said: "Don't tell me, I didn't encounter so many murder cases when I was on my own, but every time I was with you, I basically encountered cases of dead people."

"Conan, have you ever encountered any cases where no one was killed?"

Conan's mouth opened wide, but he was speechless.

By the way, it seems like every case he encounters does lead to death.

If you are lucky, several people will die in one case.

Could it be that I am really the God of Death?

Conan couldn't help but become suspicious.

"The deceased is Miss Ebihara Hisumi whom we met. Huh? What is this?"

Hattori Heiji looked at the deceased's mouth.

"It's strange. Why is there a fish scale on the deceased's mouth? Could it be that she accidentally swallowed it in the water."

Conan frowned and looked over, his heart skipping a beat.

"Hattori, take a closer look at the deceased's hands."

"Before death, the deceased's hands made obvious scratching movements. The index finger of his right hand was even scratched, leaving traces that looked like they had been scratched by a sharp object, and the traces were not shallow."

"Let's assume that if the thing she scratched at that time was a fish, what does this fish scale mean?"

Hattori Heiji put on his white gloves, reached into the corpse's mouth, and took out the fish scales.

"Her fingers were bleeding, so it's possible her blood was on the fish scales."

"In addition, the wound of the deceased was probably scratched by fish scales, so there is likely to be residual tissue on the surface of the fish scales inside the wound."

"If the two DNA test results are consistent, it will be enough to prove that this fish scale is indeed a death message left by the deceased."

"However, looking at the condition of this fish scale now, it seems that no identification is needed."

Conan stepped aside to take a look.

After seeing a trace of blood on the fish scales, a smile suddenly appeared on Conan's face.

"So it turns out that after the blood-stained fish scale was swallowed by the deceased, it probably stuck directly to her roof of the mouth, so the blood disease inside was not diluted by saliva and was preserved."

"So, our reasoning should be correct!"

Conan and Hattori Heiji both have shitty smiles on their faces

Suddenly, footsteps and crying came from the side.

A middle-aged man ran over and saw Ebihara Hisumi's body. He collapsed on the ground and began to sob as if he had lost his soul.

"Sumei, how could this happen!"

"He is Sumi's father. Sumi's mother passed away when she was a child, and she has been taken care of by Mr. Ebihara."

Shimabukuro Kimie softly introduced the identity of the visitor.

Everyone looked at Shou Mei's father who was crying in silence.

At this moment, Kobayashi Masaki suddenly came over and said, "We just contacted the Fukui Prefectural Police Station. They said that the sea is too rough and they can't send anyone over!"

Hattori Heiji glanced at Sumi's father, then held his chin and said:

"In this case, there is nothing we can do. Let's conduct a simple autopsy, take photos, and carefully investigate the area around the crime scene to see if there are any missing clues. In addition..."

"Mr. Xiaolin, you work in the village office, right? Could you please make a list of all the people on the island whose names, jobs, lives, etc. are related to fish? We would like to visit them one by one later to make sure. Their alibi!”

"Uh, okay, no problem." Kobayashi Masaki nodded and agreed.

"By the way, do you guys want to go to Saori's house? Speaking of which, Saori's father, Mr. Benzo, is also here now."

Shimabukuro Kimie said, looking at a certain location.

Conan and Hattori Heiji followed Shimabukuro Kimie's gaze.

I saw a man with a small wine bottle and a drunken face standing in front of the waterfall, looking at everything around him with blurred eyes.

"Isn't that man the third person to draw a dugong arrow? I never expected that he is actually the father of Monkyo Saori." Hattori Heiji frowned.

Conan also frowned slightly: "Really, a murder occurred here, and that guy is still drinking. Looking at how drunk he is now, it seems that we can't ask anything."

"Let's investigate the suspects tonight and then visit them tomorrow."
