Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 456 Conan: Hattori, are you panicking now?

The person who died in a shipwreck five years ago is still alive now, not only alive, but even walking like flying.

This made Qin Zhibo have to doubt the specific circumstances of the shipwreck five years ago.

"May I ask who died in the shipwreck five years ago?"

The middle-aged civil servant of the village office was a little surprised by Qin Zhibo's question as a tourist, but with the blessing of [social skills (spoken skills)], he still told Qin Zhibo the situation.

"There are Shimabukuro Kimie's parents, Fukuyama Rokuro's mother, and Saori's mother. They are all missing at sea."

"It's really a trick of good fortune."

The middle-aged civil servant heaved a long sigh, and then continued busy with other tasks at hand.

Qin Zhibo frowned, feeling a little strange about the combination of the victims five years ago.

A man takes three women to sea
Just when Qin Zhibo was thinking, the aunt who was waiting to apply for the certificate suddenly said: "Actually, it's not a fortune-telling trick at all."

"They were just cursed by the mermaid, so they had to sacrifice themselves to the sea!"

The middle-aged civil servant looked at the aunt helplessly, and shook his head with a sigh, as if he was used to her.

The Curse of the Mermaid.
Another new word about mermaid, Qin Zhibo hurriedly inquired, "What is the 'curse of the mermaid'?"

The aunt saw that Qin Zhibo was interested in her topic, and the chatterbox opened up, so she quickly called Qin Zhibo aside, and said mysteriously: "Actually, just before those four people went to sea, except Shimabukuro Junhui's mother, Others said that they had a stroke and stayed in bed at home for a month without going out."

"But in less than half a month, Fukuyama Rokuro's father abandoned his wife and ran away by boat overnight like a madman."

"That's why Fukuyama Rokuro said that his father also died in that shipwreck when he met everyone. In fact, he was ashamed of his father's behavior."

"And Saori's father, who also began to suffer from alcoholism since then, was one of the strongest and strongest men on the island before that."

"And then on the morning of the day they went out on the boat, I saw it with my own eyes."

While talking, the aunt's eyes suddenly widened, as if recalling some terrible picture.

"That day, I saw with my own eyes that they were wrapped tightly in clothes, standing in a row towards the pier."

"At the time, I thought they had recovered from their stroke, so I went up to say hello, and guess what I saw?"

The aunt made the atmosphere look like a ghost talk meeting, and Qin Zhibo shook his head puzzled.

"I saw that they didn't look human at all!"

"They wrap their heads in thick turbans, their eyeballs bulge like frogs, and it feels like they don't have enough eyelids."

"The forehead is much narrower, the nose is almost flat, and the skin is much rougher, and it feels like it is scaly"

"They walked past me with a stench of dead fish that almost blew my breakfast out."

Qin Zhibo is not very clear about the appearance described by his aunt, but he is very familiar with the disgusting smell of dead fish.

That smell was exactly what Keikazu Shimabukuro smelled like.

The aunt continued, "Looking at them is like watching three refined fish standing there."

Qin Zhibo caught Hua Dian and quickly asked, "Why are there only three people?"

"Because there is only Jun Hui's mother, Naoko, she still looks like a normal person."

Grandma replied.

Walking out of the village office, Qin Zhibo sorted out the information he had just collected from his aunt.

In the shipwreck five years ago, four people were actually killed, and three of those four had previously suffered strokes.

During treatment for a stroke, the husband of one woman ran away at night, and the husband of another woman learned to drink heavily.

This should be due to a great psychological blow.

A month later, these four people went to the pier together, and the three people who had "stroke" had strange looks on their faces, and finally they were shipwrecked.

If what the aunt said is true, it at least means that these three people had a strange disease, which caused the husbands of two of them to abandon their wives and children, and their temperaments changed drastically. Only Junhui Shimabukuro's mother never left her.

So these people take the initiative to go to sea by boat, are they looking for short-sightedness or seeking overseas elixir?

Qin Zhibo didn't know, but judging from the results, Keikazu Shimabukuro, one of the three, was not dead, which meant that the other two might not have died either.

Last night I saw Keiwa Shimabukuro offering incense to the mermaid's grave, which shows two things.

The person buried in the mermaid grave should have a direct relationship with Keikazu Shimabukuro. Combined with this story, the person he should be most grateful for should be his wife who has never abandoned him.

However, Shimabukuro Junhui said that the so-called mermaid grave was buried with tourists who were burned to death in the shrine warehouse fire three years ago. Since the bodies of tourists were not claimed, the shrine helped to dispose of them.

If this person is actually Shimabukuro Kimie's mother
Suddenly, Qin Zhibo's pupils shrank, and a certain possibility came to his mind.

In order to verify this possibility, Qin Zhibo still needs to visit around first, and wait until the evening vigil for Ebina Sumi before showing his cards to Shimabukuro Junhui.

After confirming the next itinerary, Qin Zhibo left the village office in stride.

At this moment, Conan and Hattori Heiji were inquiring about Ebina Sumi's interpersonal relationship in the village, and they also saw Qin Zhibo who had just come out of the village office.

"hey-hey."

Hattori Heiji had a smirk on his face, "I think that uncle went to the village office to check the lifebuoy we found, and he probably didn't find any other clues himself."

Hattori Heiji's "also" shows that he and Conan's investigation progress in the morning is also going in circles, without any progress.

Conan: "."

Looking at Qin Zhibo's vigorous and resolute back without any confusion, Conan's thoughts are deeper than Hattori Heiji's.

This time Qin Zhibo has been taking a completely different route from his own during the off-site investigation, from last night to now.

At first, Conan felt that this was very good.

I and Qin Zhibo chose different routes to solve the case. In the end, whoever can find the only truth will be the real winner.

But now that the investigation has progressed, Conan is a little panicked.

It's like a mid-level student and a top-level student confronting each other outside the examination room. At the beginning, the mid-level student was excited because he had a different way of solving problems than the top-level student.

After all, if two people have the same idea of ​​solving the problem and the answer is unique, then there is no winner.

But facing the answer, this mid-level academic master found that his way of solving the problem was completely different from that of the top academic master.

Combined with the past results, the middle school master can't help but suspect that his thinking on solving the problem is wrong.

Conan is in this kind of self-doubt now, so he quickly told his good friend next to him about his concerns.

"Hatto."

"Are you panicking now?"
