Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 453 Mermaid Forest
Qin Zhibo frowned slightly, and confirmed that the light in the water in his eyes was not the ripples produced by the moon reflected on the water, but a genuine investigation point.

Switching the field of view to the telescope mode, Qin Zhibo couldn't see the specific appearance of the thing clearly, he could only vaguely see a long beautiful figure swaying slightly in the water.

"Thank you, Miss Heijiang, I'm leaving first."

Qin Zhibo quickly ran back to Conan, raised his hand to look at the waterfall, and said intentionally, "There seems to be something in the middle of that waterfall."

Hattori Heiji and Conan immediately turned their eyes to the waterfall when they heard this, and at the same time saw a long black shadow inside the waterfall.

"That is."

"Looks like a person?"

Knowing that there might be an accident on this trip, Hattori Heiji, who had brought the black school uniform over, put forward a bolder hypothesis.

Hearing this, Conan quickly looked around, trying to find a way to climb to the middle of the waterfall to find out.

But within sight, he found something better.

"Hattori! Come and help me!"

Watching Conan running towards the fireworks tubes in front of the crowd, Hattori Heiji immediately understood what Conan meant and ran after him.

The staff in charge of the distribution ceremony of the "Dugong Arrow" thought that the two were the winners who couldn't wait to receive the prize, but when they were about to persuade them to return, they found that the two men ran towards their own fire tubes.

"Hey! You didn't touch that thing!"

The staff wanted to step forward to stop them, but Hattori Heiji blocked them all one by one, while Conan, who had quick eyes and quick hands, quickly picked up the projectiles on the ground next to him and put them into the tube.

Bang!
When the projectile flew into the sky, gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the night sky in advance, like a colorful flare that lasted for a short time.

Under the guidance of this radiance, the beautiful figure in the torrent of the waterfall became brighter.

Qin Zhibo took a closer look and saw that it was Ebina Sumi hanging by his neck in the waterfall.

Above the waterfall, with the efforts of the islanders, the corpse was pulled up along the rope.

As usual, Qin Zhibo stepped forward to investigate.

[Corpse investigation √]

[Name of the deceased: Ebina Sumi]

[Death time: 30 minute ago]

[Cause of death: strangled]

[The investigation of the corpse is completed, and the skill acquired: Art and Creation (Performance)]

[Repeated acquisition of skills, converted into 1000 skill proficiency of the skill]

Side task: find out the murderer of this case
Task requirements: time limit 48 hour
Task reward: 1000 general skill proficiency, 200 social credit
-

The results of the corpse investigation and the task trigger prompt appear together.

This time the task time is uncharacteristically abundant, which is very reasonable. After all, this time it is not a simple choice of one of the three, but members of the entire American island may commit crimes.

Seeing the corpse, Junhui Shimabukuro, who was a little scared, said in a trembling tone whether it was suicide or homicide.

Fukuyama Rokuro, whom I saw during the day, turned into a detective at this time, and reasoned logically: "Both of these points should be impossible, because the thing strangled around Shoumei's neck is to prevent danger from happening, and it is fixed on the river bank. rope."

"So that's how it is." Mori Kogoro stepped forward to make a small reasoning, "That is to say, Miss Shoumei suddenly lost her center of gravity when she walked to the edge of the river, and she grabbed the rope in desperation."

"But the water was so fast that the stake fell off, and it happened that she was on the way down the waterfall, and her neck was just strangled by the rope."

"It was just an unfortunate accident"

Mori Kogoro's reasoning still ruled out a wrong option for Qin Zhibo, which is definitely not an accident.

But why did Ebina Sumi climb to the top of this waterfall alone at such a night?

Qin Zhibo looked around, but he didn't find any investigation points, so he could only reason with his own mind.

In the pocket of Ebina Sumi's one-piece dress, Qin Zhibo, who was wearing gloves, failed to touch the winning number plate.

It may have been washed away by water, but it may also have been snatched away.

Suppose she was invited here by someone, and then her number plate was taken away, and she was killed and thrown here?

If this is the case, the person who can ask her to meet must be someone who is deeply trusted by her
Qin Zhibo looked around for a few friends of the same age as Ebina Sumi. According to past experience, he felt that these people were more suspicious than ordinary islanders.

At this time, Naoko Heijiang came over and provided an important clue.

"Maybe she came to look for the 'mermaid's grave'"

"The mermaid's tomb?" Hattori Heiji, who hadn't followed Qin Zhibo's plot just now, asked in confusion.

Junhui Shimabukuro explained: "One night three years ago, the warehouse of the shrine caught fire, and a person was burned to death inside. According to the police, it was the skeleton of a middle-aged woman."

As soon as Shimabukuro Junhui said this, Kuroe Naoko immediately refuted and stated the set of propositions that he had just said to Qin Zhibo.

"That person doesn't even have a foot bone, how could it be human?"

Qin Zhibo: That person?
Fukuyama Rokuro next to him added: "Since that time, the outside world has been rumored that the corpse of the mermaid was found here, and the reputation of the longevity woman has become bigger and bigger."

Conan asked his own question at this time, "But didn't the police say that it was a middle-aged woman? Didn't anyone come to claim the body?"

Shimabukuro Junhui shook his head, "No one has come to claim the corpse, so the shrine can only manage the corpse,"

"But at the celebration of the year before last, vicious tourists tried to pry open the tomb and steal the bones inside."

"So just before last year's celebration, my great-grandmother had to ask someone to secretly transfer the tomb to this forest for burial."

Qin Zhibo: "."

In fact, it was good that Shimabukuro Junhui didn't mention it before, but the mention of someone stealing the bones of the "mermaid" made Qin Zhibo want to find out in person.

What if it was a mermaid?
Qin Zhibo looked around at the darkness around him, thoughtful.

Fukuyama Rokuro carried his fiancée Ebina Sumi to the foot of the mountain, and Ebina's father took his daughter's body and cried bitterly.

And Mao Lilan and Yuan Shanhe Ye also brought an expected news at this time.

"There are too many waves on the sea now, and the police say that there is no way to come to the island for the time being."

At this time, the joint dispatch of Hattori Heiji and Conan also brought news that a lifebuoy stuck on the river between the waterfall and the sea water completely changed the case from suicide or accident to homicide.

"The murderer must have let Miss Shoumei die first, then strangled her neck with a rope, put her body on the swimming ring, let her slide down with the current, and naturally hang on the waterfall."

"If this method is used, no one on the island will be immune to suspicion."

As Hattori Heiji spoke, he confidently turned the hat on his head to the front.

This meant that he was going to deduce seriously with all his firepower!

One of the reasons for being serious, of course, is to compete with the uncle detective Qin Zhibo on this case.

But looking around, Hattori Heiji did not find Qin Zhibo, and he and Conan were the only ones who went to the river to find a possible swimming ring just now.

Even this level of evidence collection is unimaginable. This is not like that uncle's strength.
Hattori Heiji and Conan were a little puzzled.

At this time, Qin Zhibo was indeed collecting.

It's just not under the mountain, but in the dark forest on the mountain.
