Chapter 375 The Killing Of Mermaids Is Happening Again!
Xia Ye handed the check to Mouri Kogoro and said with a smile:
“Actually it can be higher!”
"Looking at Ikezono Jusuke's attitude, it's okay to raise the price to 30 million, but it's all for nothing anyway, so I'll just take it as good as it gets~"
"you're right."
Mouri Kogoro is a bit better.
He is not greedy. He is very satisfied with the 20 million yuan. Even if Xia Ye said it could be sold for 30 million yuan, he would not feel regretful!
"Twenty million is a bit too hot for me to hold. How about you, Xia Ye, take ten million? After all, I wouldn't have gotten so much money if it weren't for your help!"
"No, keep it to yourself~"
Xia Ye waved her hand and glanced:
"Xiao Ran doesn't live at your place now. You and Conan can keep the money and eat something good. If you really think it's too much, give Xiao Ran some pocket money!"
"no problem!"
Mouri Kogoro patted Xia Ye on the shoulder, she is indeed her future son-in-law, so considerate!
"I will give you Xiao Ran's pocket money!"
"You, just don't spend money randomly!"
Xiao Ran felt helpless when she saw that her boyfriend had helped her father earn 20 million in a short time.
Conan's 10 million foster care fee made his father's life very comfortable, and now there is an extra 20 million, and he doesn't know how to spend it!
However, it was Xia Ye's heart that she could not confiscate, so she could only make a useless remark.
As for pocket money——
She doesn't need it at all!
Usually my mother gives me a lot.
Xia Ye's credit card also has a secondary card in her hand.
When we go out to play, it’s basically Yukiko’s sister and Sonoko who pay.
If you want something, as long as you express a little thought, the "sisters" at home can buy it and deliver it to you.
Basically, there is almost no place to spend money, and there is no way to spend pocket money.
So it doesn’t matter if dad gives it or not, as long as he doesn’t spend it randomly!
An hour passed quickly.
Shimabukuro Kimie appeared quietly under the Mermaid Falls.
She glanced at Xia Ye, a hint of tiredness flashed in her beautiful eyes, but she quickly cheered up again, and announced with a faint smile on her pretty face:
"Please come to the front of the three lucky guests tonight, and I will give you the Arrow of Calendar Confucianism!"
"yes!"
Jusuke Ikezono, who bought the number plate from Mouri Kogoro, walked up.
He eagerly took the palm-length bone arrow, looked delighted, and thanked him repeatedly.
Naoko Kuroe, who had not appeared just now, suddenly appeared and returned to the crowd after receiving the Arrow of Confucianism.
Another tourist who was drawn also got his own dugong arrow.
However, he didn't say anything when the lot was drawn before, and I don't know if the number plate in his hand has changed hands?
After these three people received the Dugong Arrow.
Jun Hui frowned, looked around and said:
"Where's Shou Mei? Didn't you draw her when you drew lots just now? Why didn't you see her coming?"
The islanders looked at each other.
They haven't seen Ebihara Hisumi since the lottery ceremony at the shrine!
Ordinarily, Hisumi Ebihara is so interested in mermaids that, let alone being late, she might be waiting in front of the mermaid waterfall to receive the honorable lineage!
"Hey, Junhui!"
At this time, a drunken middle-aged man staggered out of the crowd, holding a number plate in his hand and shouted:
"Give me the dugong arrows!"
"Uncle Benzo?" Jun Hui looked surprised:
"I remember, didn't Shoumei get this number plate? How did it get into your hands?"
"Don't worry so much!"
Monaribe Benzo’s attitude was very arrogant:
"The longevity lady drew numbers, not people. Now the winning number is in my hand, so I should give you the Confucian Arrow!"
"The dugong arrow doesn't matter——"
Jun Hui's beautiful eyes were full of worry:
"But where did you get this number plate? How is Sumi doing now?"
"That's right, Benzo!"
Residents on the island who were familiar with Monaribe Benzo were also very suspicious:
"You guys couldn't have snatched the number plate from Shou Mei, right? Shou Mei hasn't shown up yet, could it be——"
"What did you do to her?"
"nonsense!"
Although Kadori Benzo was drunk, he was still somewhat rational. Seeing that a blame was about to be placed on his head, he quickly denied it:
"I picked up my number plate!"
"I didn't see Sumi at all just now!"
"impossible!"
The islanders spoke out one after another:
"Sumei, like your Saori, is most passionate about the legend of mermaids. How could she throw away the sign?"
"You must have done something, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence that you picked up the number plate?"
"I don't!"
Kamabari Benzo was already in a daze due to drinking, so his thinking was naturally slow, and he was soon made angry by a group of people!
"Laozi said he has never seen Shoumei before he has seen Shoumei! Don't even think about setting the blame on Laozi! Give me the dugong arrow!"
"All right……………"
Dugong Arrow was originally redeemed with a number plate.
Just like Mouri Kogoro's number plate, the recipient became Ikezono Shusuke, and everyone could only comment a few words~
It was just that the appearance of Ebihara Hisumi's brand in the hands of Monari Benzo was so suspicious that everyone started questioning it and felt that something was fishy!
As a shrine maiden, Jun Hui naturally wants to be fair. Since Kadori Benzo holds the number plate, he still has to give him the dugong arrow!
However, she frowned slightly:
"Uncle Benzo, I can give you the Dugong Arrow, but Saori just met with misfortune today. You were so drunk that you didn't tell her, and you didn't even look at her body. Is this something that a father can do? "
"I want you to take care of it!"
Monaribe Benzo was taught a lesson by his juniors, and he immediately became angry and humiliated:
"She clearly offended the mermaid and was retaliated by the mermaid. What if I get close to her and the mermaid gets angry? I can only visit her if I get the Festival of Goodness!"
"This man is so inhumane!"
Xiao Ran looked at Monori Benzo's ugly face, her beautiful eyes full of disgust: "Miss Junhui is right! How can a father do this? It's too much!"
"yes!"
Kazuha nodded vigorously with the same hatred!!
"unacceptable!"
"There are people like this in this world——"
Xiao Ai was not surprised, and said calmly:
"Don't think that all families are harmonious and happy just because you have a happy family. In fact, most families in the world are not that beautiful, but...
"It's really rare to see such a cold-blooded person!"
"right!"
Xiao Ran didn't pay attention to Xiao Ai's previous somewhat pessimistic remarks.
After all, this "sister" had been trapped in the Black Organization for many years, and at that time her heart was full of negative energy zones!
In Xia Ye's words, he will enter the "emo" state at any time, and he will say a lot of depressing words when he starts "Net Yiyun"!
Now after getting along with her sisters, she has become a lot more lively, but after so many years of accumulation, she still gets "smooth" occasionally!
But this makes it feel even cuter.
There is a cute contrast between a child pretending to be an adult!
Originally, after Xiao Ai transformed into Miyano Shiho, this state was rare. Now that she saw her again, Xiao Ran still missed her very much, so she gently pinched Xiao Ai's smooth face.
Ren smiled and said:
"Xiao Ai, you are so cute!"
"Go! Go! Go!"
Xiao Ai silently slapped her unruly hand away and said angrily: "You hold it up so cute, right? I happen to have APTX4869 that Xia Ye got back from the organization, do you want to try it? If you become Loli, Xia Ye must like it very much!"
"No need!"
Xiao Ran crossed his arms and decisively refused!
Xiao Ai, this Tsundere Queen Loli is indeed cute, but if you want to become Loli, forget it!
Besides, even if you want to become Loli, you don’t have to take the risk of eating APTX486 days, you still have a [Time Capsule] at home!
Last time Yukiko played "Van" with Xia Ye and used the [Time Capsule] to turn into a seventeen-year-old appearance. Xia Ye had such a lustful face, hum!
"that's too regretful!"
Xia Ye, who was watching the two of them bickering, looked regretful. Thinking about how cute Xiao Ran was when she was little, with long black hair and straight hair, and little Loli, it was so cute that she couldn't see it with her own eyes. It was really a pity!
"hehe~"
Xiao Ran gave him a cute look.
This guy's thoughts are right on his face
I just want to see Loli’s status!
Hum, when I'm in a good mood that day, it's not impossible to use the [Time Capsule] to look like a seven-year-old, just to make up for the regret of not knowing him when I was a child!
A few of them are interacting here.
Jun Hui had already finished distributing the Dugong Arrows. She waved around and said softly: "Now, please the four people who have Dugong Arrows, please accept the Light of Bliss!"
"Light of Bliss?"
Xiao Ran’s beautiful eyes are curious, what is that?”
Bang——!
Pure white flames soared into the sky, and gorgeous fireworks exploded in the night sky, illuminating the originally dim Mermaid Falls as bright as day!
"so beautiful!"
Girls are emotional creatures.
Seeing such beautiful fireworks, Xiao Ran and Kazuha's eyes sparkled, and they subconsciously approached Xia Ye, wanting to enjoy the beautiful scenery with him~
"what is that?"
Suddenly there was an exclamation from the crowd!
I saw a man who looked like a tourist pointing at the Mermaid Falls with a frightened expression.
Looking in the direction he pointed, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen clearly.
At this time, another firework bloomed in the night, and everyone finally saw the front of the waterfall clearly through the light of the fireworks!
In the sloping water, a black figure swayed left and right with the waves, like a mermaid going upstream along the waterfall!
However--
In the glow of fireworks.
Everyone saw the face of the "mermaid"!
The pretty face was so pale that it was almost transparent, and the eyes protruded outward, reflecting a strange glimmer of light. It looked extremely penetrating!
The key is--
Many people recognize that face!
"Sumei?!"
"That's Sumi!"
"Oh my god, how did she end up hanging in the waterfall?"
The residents on the island were talking a lot, and many people felt a chill coming from their bodies. This scene was so weird that it made them feel very scared!
"Sumi!"
A dark-skinned island youth rushed out.
He is Fukuyama Rokuro, Ebihara Hisumi's fiancé. He has been looking for Ebihara Hisumi since just now. Unexpectedly, when they meet again, they will be separated by yin and yang!
but--
There wasn't much sadness in his look.
I was just frightened and a little shocked by this scene.
0…please give me flowers…
"its not right!"
At this time, a resident of the island raised questions:
"How did Sumi end up in that place?"
"That's the center of the waterfall, where the water flows the fastest!"
"Whether Shou Mei committed suicide or was killed, it is impossible to leave her there silently.
Do it in a short time!”
"And there are always people here at Mermaid Falls. Even if the environment is dark, it's impossible for no one to see it, right?"
"You're right!"
Island residents who are familiar with the environment agree.
Conan and Hattori Heiji observed it. Indeed, as the islanders said, Ebihara Hisumi's body was hung on a raised stone in the center of the waterfall. Looking at the water power, they wanted to put a
It is definitely not an easy task for people to hang up!
"Mr. Mouri——"
Jun Hui walked over and looked at Mouri Kogoro and asked:
"What do we do now?"
"Let the police come and get the body down first!"
The situation is unclear, and there is nothing Mouri Kogoro can do.
Fortunately, people from the Fukui Prefecture Police have arrived on the island and are currently investigating the death of Kadori Saori in the afternoon. We can call them over and deal with it together!
Maybe there is some connection between Saori Kadori's death and Hisumi Ebihara's death!
"good!"
Fukui Prefecture police rushed over.
It took a lot of effort to get the body of Hisumi Ebihara out of the middle of the waterfall!
This also shows that what the island residents said is true.
It is definitely not an easy thing to hang someone up!
"etc!"
Mouri Kogoro pointed to the corpse on the ground and said in surprise:
"Look at her hands, do they look familiar?"
"hiss--!"
00
Everyone looked at the sound, and those who had seen the death scene of Kadori Saori before could not help but take a breath!
"Shou Mei is holding something in her hand, is it possible?"
Could it be what?
Mermaid scales of course!
Before Saori Kadori died, she was holding a mermaid scale in her hand. Looking at Ebihara Hisumi, could it be that one of them was also torn off?
That explains it.
The murderer of Hisumi Ebihara——is a mermaid?!
"Take it out and see!"
The personnel of the Forensic Section of the Fukui Prefecture Police Station quickly opened Ebihara Hisumi's stiff hand!
Sure enough! In her palm was a scale that exuded the luster of jade!
However--
This beautiful scale like a work of art made everyone onlookers subconsciously take a step back!
After all, Saori Kadari was killed by a mermaid, so she could explain that she lost the dugong arrow and offended the mermaid!
But Hisumi Ebihara didn't offend the mermaid, but actually suffered a murderous attack. So, fish don't actually need a reason to kill people?
"Mr. Mouri?"
The police officer in Fukui Prefecture felt cold and had no clue at all, so he had to ask for help from the famous detective Mouri Kogoro, hoping that he could come up with an idea!
"This..." Mouri Kogoro scratched his head: "Let's check the cause of death of the deceased first. Saori Kadori died of drowning in the afternoon, and we don't know the cause of Hisumi Ebihara's death.
What is it?"
"yes!"
The police went to investigate the case.
Personnel from the forensics department went to conduct an autopsy.
Xia Ye chatted with Mouri Kogoro and Conan Hattori about the strange events that happened today.
Now, Conan and Hattori Heiji no longer deny the existence of mermaids.
After all, according to Conan:
There is a Spider-Man flying around in the sky in Tokyo all day long. What's the fuss about the appearance of a mermaid here on the island of America?
I have to say that he is worthy of being the protagonist.
The ability to accept new things is unparalleled!
"Naoko, what's wrong with you?"
From just now, Kuroe Naoko has been looking at Ebihara Hisumi's corpse in a daze!
The expression on his face is sometimes fearful and sometimes nervous, as if he has learned the truth!
Jun Hui gently pushed her shoulder and said to her heart:
"Are you OK?"
"ah--!"
Unexpectedly, with just a slight touch, Kuroe Naoko seemed to be frightened by some ghost. She looked at Jun Hui's face and screamed with fear in her eyes:
"It's revenge!"
"This is the mermaid's revenge, she's back, she's here to take revenge!"
"Naoko!"
A coldness flashed through the depths of Jun Hui's beautiful eyes, but there was no strange color on her pretty face. She just acted like a girl who cares about her friends:
"what are you talking about?"
"Jun Hui!"
Kuroe Naoko grabbed Jun Hui's hand and begged:
"You also have the power of a mermaid, right? Help me! I'm going to be killed by a mermaid like Saori and Sumi!"
"Naoko, I don't understand what you are talking about?" Jun Hui looked innocent, "What about mermaid magic? I told you, there is no such thing!"
"hehe......"
Hearing Jun Hui's denial, Kuroe Naoko looked desperate, pushed Jun Hui's hand away, stumbled and ran outside, still muttering:
"There is another way!"
"There is another way!"
"Just find that thing!"
"I don't have to be afraid of mermaids anymore!"
"She's crazy..."
Mouri Kogoro came to a conclusion, and everyone around him believed it!
Kuroe Naoko is probably crazy!.
