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

Chapter 398 Maybe This Is God's Will

Conan turned to look at Shimabukuro Kime and said, "By the way, sister Kimi, can we visit the longevity lady later?"

Shimabukuro Kimie was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Of course. However, because of the celebration today, my great-grandmother must be very tired. I don't know if she is willing to see you."

"Well, let me go home first. If my great-grandmother is willing to see you, I will notify Mr. Xiaolin and ask him to take you to my house."

"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you." Conan and the two bowed together.

More than half an hour later, Shimabukuro Junhui's house.

Conan asked in confusion: "You don't know where the mermaid skeleton is? Didn't you ask your friends to bury it?"

"Yeah, I really don't know."

Changshou Po’s face, as old as tree bark, wrinkled, and she said in a low voice:

"I just didn't want anyone to disturb the remains of the deceased anymore, so I asked a friend to help me bury the remains on the mountain."

"I don't know exactly where he was buried. After all, I can't reach the mountain with my legs and feet."

Changshou Po said, looking at Hattori Heiji with a pair of cloudy eyes.

"I said, do you also think that those are the bones of a mermaid and want to find it and realize your dream of immortality?"

"Haha, how is that possible!"

Hattori Heiji shook his head, "We just think that the skeleton is likely to be related to the murder of Miss Sumi, so we want to investigate it" ???

"Really?" Changshou Po responded in a deep voice, "If you really want to know, go find that guy in Kawakami and ask. He was the one who buried the skeleton."

Changshou Po said, grabbing the crutches beside her with both hands, standing up with both hands, and slowly moved towards the door.

"I'm a little tired and want to take a rest first. Just let Junhui take you to Mr. Kawakami's house. Junhui! Junhui! You can take the guests to Mr. Kawakami's house later."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shimabukuro Kime's voice suddenly came from outside.

"What? Mr. Kawakami? He passed away last year, and I attended his funeral on your behalf. Have you forgotten?"

When Changshou Po heard this, she suddenly stopped.

After a few seconds, he continued to walk out the door and whispered:

"Yes, I almost forgot. Kawakami has always lived alone, and now that he is dead, no one knows where the skeleton is buried. This may be God's will."

When Conan, Hattori Heiji and others listened to Changshou's words, their expressions changed and they frowned: "Damn it! How could this happen? The clue has been broken again!"

"Yes." Conan nodded.

Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he asked, "By the way, Changshou Po, are you sure Mr. Kawakami buried the bones in the mountain?"

"Of course. Kawakami will definitely not go against my words." Changshou Po said and finally walked out of the door.

Hattori Heiji held his chin and thought:

"Conan, do you think we should ask an Onmyoji to help us divine. His magic power is still very high. It should be easy to find the truth."

"Hattori, can you be a little more confident? The two of us are high school detectives. Is it appropriate to ask the Onmyoji to help us solve the case?" Conan said with a dark face.

Outside the door, Changshou's movements suddenly stopped, she changed direction with her crutches, and continued walking towards the room next to her.

At the door of Shimabukuro's house, Conan, Hattori Heiji and Kobayashi Masaki who brought them bowed to say goodbye to Shimabukuro Kimie.

Shimabukuro Kimie smiled and said: "You are so polite. I also want to help my great-grandmother wash her body, and she will be sent to her not far away."

"Okay, please stay on your feet."

Conan and the two turned and left.

After walking a certain distance, Hattori Heiji turned to look at the Shimabukuro house and found that Shimabukuro Kimie was gone.

He curled his lips and said: "After the longevity woman takes off her heavy makeup, she is basically a dying old woman! Seeing as her face is so ugly, I'm afraid she won't live long."

Conan immediately gave Hattori a hard elbow and said, "Hattori, it's so rude of you to speak like that!"

Kobayashi Masaki didn't mean to blame him, he smiled and said: "Haha, it's nothing. If the longevity woman is free from illness and disaster, she will not pass away so easily."

When Conan and Hattori Heiji heard what Kobayashi Masaki said, they both grinned and turned their heads to look at each other, "Mr. Kobayashi, what do you mean by this?"

"Uh, it's nothing." Kobayashi Masaki realized that he had made a mistake and quickly coughed and changed the subject.

"By the way, everyone, there are more than a dozen people identified as suspects. Which one should we look for now?"

"Well, let's just find the nearest one." Hattori Heiji raised his hand and looked at his watch, "Let's seize the time and try to visit everyone before twelve o'clock."

Chapter 399: Is there an adult version of the mermaid suit?

In the evening of the next day, the sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder was rolling incessantly.

Outside Ebihara Sumi's house, many villagers stood together, waiting to come inside to burn incense.

Suddenly there was a scream from behind the house.

Conan and Hattori Heiji heard the sound and ran over.

"What's wrong, what happened?"

A villager pointed forward and said with a hint of fear. "There's someone there!"

Everyone looked forward and saw nothing but darkness!

Suddenly, a series of lightning struck in the sky.

Under this series of bright lightning rays, a person's hands were tied to the fishing net between the yard and the sea, and he was kneeling on the ground with his head lowered.

Conan and Hattori Heiji looked at the people on the fishing net, their expressions changed, and their expressions became solemn.

"That person is...Miss Kuroe Naoko?!"

Hattori Heiji walked over, reached out and touched Naoko's neck, and shook his head with a complicated expression.

"Damn it! Miss Naoko has no pulse, she is dead!"

"Hattori, look, there is a strangulation mark on the deceased's neck, and her pupils are dilated and painful, and her tongue is hanging out. She must have been strangled to death!"

Conan carefully observed the condition of the deceased.

"That's right." Hattori Heiji nodded and held his chin.

"Looking at the way she was tied up, it's unlikely that she was tied up first and then strangled to death. The murderer should have strangled Miss Naoko first and then tied her to a fishing net. But it's really strange. The murderer killed Why would humans tie their bodies to fishing nets in the future?”

Hearing Hattori Heiji's words, Conan narrowed his eyes, and then said quietly: "Maybe it's because the murderer wanted her to turn into a mermaid?"

"Becoming a mermaid?" Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but look at Naoko's feet and asked in surprise: "Conan, are you kidding? What about turning into a mermaid?"

"Have you forgotten?" Conan turned to look at Hattori Heiji.

"Yesterday Trichosang said that eight hundred nuns lived forever by eating the meat of captured mermaids. Doesn't her current appearance resemble that legend?"

"What?" Hattori Heiji was stunned when he heard this, and his expression suddenly changed.

"I remember that the legend about the dugong arrow told by Changshou Po was that once the dugong arrow is let go..."

Before Hattori Heiji finished speaking, Conan's deep voice came from beside him.

"The monster will build a nest on the owner's body. If it is a man, it will fall into the earth and become a heartless evil spirit. If it is a woman, it will enter the water and become a speechless mermaid."

"The murderer was probably using this legend to kill people, so he deliberately arranged the corpse like this, right?"

After carefully surveying the scene, Hattori Heiji held his chin in thought.

"On the ground here, in addition to the footprints left by our slippers, there are also some strange fan-shaped marks, which give people the impression that they were swept out by the tail of a fish."

Conan stared at a mark on the ground.

"You can clearly see the mark of an arrow here, plus there are traces on the ground similar to the tail of a fish, and the traces go through the fishing net and into the sea."

"Does the murderer want us to misunderstand that it is a mermaid that has landed on the beach?"

"Yes! Judging from the current situation, it is indeed like this. Moreover, in order to be realistic, the guy actually sprinkled a lot of fish scales next to the fish tail marks."

Hattori Heiji stared at some scattered fish scales on the ground and curled his lips.

"I asked, does the murderer underestimate us? Does that guy think we will be fooled by such a little trick?"

Conan walked through the fishing net, looked at the fish tail traces leading to the sea, and chuckled.

"Let me tell you, the murderer just wore a pair of pants with fishtail-like bottoms and walked along the wave line to the fishing net. After killing Miss Naoko, he left along the wave line and sprinkled some fish scales on the way. "

"Speaking of which, Miss Naoko's dugong arrow is also missing. Was it taken away by the murderer?"

Behind them, Shimabukuro Kime's voice suddenly sounded.

"Shazhi, she suddenly disappeared after the dugong arrow was lost. Could she also..."

After listening to Shimabukuro Kime's words, Conan and Hattori Heiji looked at each other and nodded together.

"We previously speculated that Miss Saori was most likely to be killed!"

As soon as Conan and the others finished speaking, an aunt on the island next to them immediately said, "What nonsense are you talking about! As for Saori, I saw her near the Mermaid Falls yesterday!"

"Me too, me too!" A middle-aged man echoed next to him.

"I also saw her wandering around in the forest near the waterfall from a distance. The person had dyed hair, wore glasses, and wore the same blue clothes that Saori often wears. There is no mistaking her!"

Conan and Hattori Heiji were both shocked when they heard this.

Hattori Heiji was surprised: "Really? Then this situation is a bit strange."

Conan pondered for a while and asked: "Ms. Shimabukuro, are there adult versions of the mermaid costumes on your island?"

"Adult version?" Shimabukuro June was confused.

"Haha, he just wanted to ask if there are those kind of ones worn by big sisters in adult movies..." Hattori Heiji said with a smirk on his face.

Shimabukuro Kime's face suddenly turned red.

MMP!Hattori, you tricked me!

Conan was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

He rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Yes, that's it. Hattori-nii wants to try it on."

huh?

Hattori Heiji was dumbfounded.

"No, no, this kid is talking nonsense, I didn't say that!"

Shimabukuro Kimie turned around and ran away.

Hattori Heiji punched Conan on the head, causing a big bump immediately.

"What are you doing!"

The two started to fight.

Chapter 400 Who Was The Woman Last Night?

At night, Conan came back with Hattori Heiji carrying a big bag on his head.

He has short arms and short legs, so he can't beat an adult.

The two walked back to the hotel and were about to enter when they suddenly heard some slight noises in the distance.

Conan and Hattori Heiji turned their heads to look over inadvertently, and then they were all stunned.

Under the street light, a woman wearing blue clothes, brown hair, and glasses was hiding behind a tree, staring at them.

Brown hair, glasses?

Could it be said that that person is Men Xie Shaori?

The two looked at each other, and when they looked over again, the person was gone.

They were about to give chase when they heard a commotion.

Someone seemed to be shouting things like "There's a fire", "The fire is so big", "The fire brigade has just been dispatched".

Conan and Hattori Heiji turned their heads and saw that the sky in the distance was burnt orange, and their expressions suddenly changed:

"Damn! Why is there fire there? Is that... a shrine?!"
