Conan's Unscientific Detective

Coupled with the legends on the island, this incident attracted widespread attention from the society. Many media outlets smelled something interesting and went over to it. The fact that there were mermaids on the American island basically became a hot news.

If this were put on Science Approaches, it would definitely take up ten episodes.

But later, as the popularity faded, this place was never mentioned by the public again.

But the name of the island, "American Island", and the mermaid legend are not the main points.

The point is that a serial murder case will occur on this small island, and the victims include the client who is to be killed by the mermaid.

In Fujino's impression, the so-called 130-year-old witch mermaid legend on Mermaid Island was actually just a disguise created by the women of the Shimabukuro family from generation to generation.

The mermaid corpse from three years ago was disguised as the previous fortune teller, who was the mother of the current mermaid girl, Shimabukuro Kimie.

As for why the corpse turned out like that...it all started with the client this time, Monkyou Saori.

At the Mermaid Festival three years ago, Menkyo Saori and her two friends went to pray for the Mermaid Arrow with great anticipation, hoping to gain the power of immortality.

But things did not go as they wished, and none of them won the lottery, so they were very depressed.

After getting drunk at night, the unwilling girls happened to see the mermaid walking into the warehouse.

In order to take revenge and verify the mermaid's statement, they locked the warehouse and set it on fire under the influence of alcohol.

The mother of the previous fortune teller, Kimie Shimabukuro, died in this fire. The fire burned for a day and a night, and in the end only bones were left.

Because before her death she called her daughter and told her to let the mermaid festival continue, this matter was not disclosed.

As for why the body looked like that...it was probably an illusion created by the legs being crushed by the falling beams during the fire.

And just recently, Menxie Saori lost the Mermaid Arrow.

After experiencing that incident that year, she has become a loyal believer of mermaids.

In order to prevent herself from being killed by the mermaid in revenge, she ran to Shimabukuro Kimie for help, wanting to ask for help from a fortune teller. She then told her what happened that year and wanted to eat the "mermaid's ashes" to gain the power of the mermaid.

This was not just her imagination, after all, someone had tried this before.

As a daughter, Shimabukuro Kimie was very angry when she found out the truth about her mother's death.

After learning that Menxie Saori not only burned her mother to death, but also wanted to dig up her mother's grave, she was extremely angry.

In a rage, she wanted to avenge what happened that year, so she killed Monkyo Saori and the other two friends who participated in the arson with her own hands.

"Feudal superstition kills people..."

Retracting his thoughts, Fujino took a deep breath and sighed secretly in his heart.

It's just a pity for Junhui's mother. After her death, her bones were dug out and eaten.

I can only say that this is all feudal superstition...

If there were no lies from the mermaids, nothing would have happened.

But since it has already happened, we can only say that those three girls were truly beastly.

"I don't know if her murder plan has started yet..."

Fujino thought for a moment, then took out his phone from his pocket.

He remembered that Hattori Heiji should also be involved in this case.

But after he received the letter, Monkyo Saori had already been killed.

I don’t know whether the plan has started yet.

The call was quickly connected, and a young girl's voice came from the other end of the line: "Excuse me, who are you?"

The call was connected, it seems the person is not dead yet...

Fujino then tightened his throat and said in a strange tone: "I am a mermaid."

"what!!!"

There was a scream from the other end of the line.

"Ahem."

Fujino coughed lightly and reintroduced himself: "I was just joking. I'm Fujino. You must have sent me a letter before. The phone number is left in the letter."

"call……"

Menxie Saori on the other end of the phone took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then said resentfully: "Really, please don't make such jokes..."

"Well, sorry, I just think mermaids are funny."

Fujino said calmly, "But it was also mentioned in the letter that you said you were going to be killed by a mermaid. Can you tell me more about what happened?"

"That is an arrow that can make people immortal..."

The tone of Monkyou Saori on the other end of the phone became a little unstable: "But I lost it not long ago. If I can't find it, I will definitely be punished and killed by the mermaid!"

"Um... calm down."

Fujino was speechless for a moment, then he said, "I have already investigated the specific situation. If I am not mistaken, the purpose of entrusting me with this should be to find the dugong arrow, right?"

"That's right!"

Menxie Saori said with certainty: "As long as I can find it, I can spend all my wealth! As long as I can find it!"

"Um……"

Fujino groaned and glanced at the time: "Since it's a commission to find something, let's meet first. Do you have time?"

"Just today!"

Monkyo Saori said hurriedly, "I happen to have to go to the dentist this morning, so I should be able to take the Shinkansen to Tokyo in the afternoon."

"Well, let's meet in the afternoon. As for the address... let's choose the detective agency. I'll text you the location later. You should know it."

Fujino sent the address, hung up the phone, and took a deep breath.

He has gained a new understanding of religious, ghost, and legendary culture.

Sure enough, this thing makes money quickly.

A bunch of idiots giving money away.

But it's a good thing too. I can just seduce the other person to come over and make some money, and educate him/her at the same time.

…………

In a blink of an eye, it was afternoon.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door of the detective agency.

There were two young girls coming towards us.

One of the girls had long, soft black hair and wore a gray-black suit jacket and slim-fit trousers, which brought out her slightly outstanding figure. She looked gentle and cute, and even vaguely resembled Miyano Akemi.

The other girl had shorter brown hair, and wore a blue knitted sweater over a white shirt and khaki shorts, revealing her white thighs. She had a pair of round-frame glasses on her cheeks, giving her an intellectual air.

"Ms. Menkie Saori?"

Fujino looked at the two of them curiously and asked.

"Um... I'm the Monkyou Saori that I talked to on the phone earlier..."

One side of Menkyo Saori's face was red at this time. It seemed that she had just seen the dentist and she could not speak clearly.

She nodded, turned to look at the girl next to her, and introduced: "This is Jun Hui... She is the one who came to see the dentist with me this time..."

"Hello, my name is Shimabukuro-kunie."

The other girl bowed slightly and said hello.

"Well, please take a seat."

Fujino invited the two to sit on the sofa in the office and poured them a cup of black tea, but after considering that Menxie Saori had just finished seeing the dentist, he poured them a glass of water and handed them over.

After all, he is a customer now, so everything that needs to be done should be done well.

As for non-working time...

Fujino sat on the sofa and looked at Menxie Saori: "So, the task you want to entrust me with this time should be to find the dugong arrow, right? According to my investigation, that arrow is said to be able to keep a person alive for a hundred years, but if it is lost, there will be punishment..."

"Yes, it is that arrow. It disappeared a while ago and we couldn't find it no matter how hard we looked!"

Menkyo Saori nodded repeatedly, very satisfied that Fujino had investigated the origin of the arrow.

Fujino briefly asked about what happened.

Menxie Saori also hurriedly answered truthfully, fearing that she would be delayed and would not be able to find the arrow.

"Well, I have almost understood the specific situation. If my guess is correct..."

Fujino crossed his arms and said, "The next step is to go to the island to investigate what happened, and then help you find the arrow... But before that, we still have to talk about the commission."

"Of course there is no problem with the commission!"

Seeing that Fujino was confident, Monkyo Saori said quickly, "As long as you can help find that arrow, 500,000 yen will be no problem."

"Saori..."

Shimabukuro Kimie on the side whispered: "Forget it, it's just an arrow, it's a waste to spend 500,000 yen to find it..."

"If I can't find it, I will be killed!"

Menxie Saori refused to listen to any advice and just grasped at the last straw, unwilling to give up.

Shimabukuro Kimie sighed upon hearing this.

She actually didn't feel sorry for her good friend's money.

Instead, he was worried that his murder plan would be exposed.

After all, the person standing in front of her was a famous detective who had solved many major cases, destroyed several criminal organizations, and prevented several major disasters from happening...

To be honest, this inhuman record made her feel a little scared.

If we really go to the island to investigate...

I guess she will be caught soon.

327. Chapter 325 Xiao Hei is a bald man!

Chapter 325 Xiao Hei is a bald man!

It was a rare opportunity to use the other party's visit to the dentist to create a chance to kill someone. If I give up like this, I don't know when the next opportunity will be.

Shimabukuro Kimie felt that this was not a good idea, so she said, "Saori, you are too nervous. I have already said that the Dugong Arrow is not cursed. I am just afraid of those who prayed for the arrow but did not get the corresponding power. I made up an excuse... There is no such thing as misfortune if you lose or doubt the power of the arrow."

"How can it be?!"

Monkyo Saori obviously didn't believe what Shimabukuro Kimie said, and said excitedly: "You should also know about what happened three years ago. There were mermaid skeletons in that burned warehouse!"

Shimabukuro Kimie was stunned when he heard this, and a hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

Even though he already knew the truth and was ready for revenge.

However, when she heard the other party bring up the incident three years ago again, she couldn't help but feel chest tightness and irritability.

"I also investigated the incident on your island three years ago."

Fujino suddenly interrupted and said, "It's a skeleton without lower limbs... It's called the remains of a mermaid."

"That's right!"

Menxie Saori said seriously: "That is definitely a miracle of the mermaid!"

"But how can you be sure that it is a mermaid..."

Fujino narrowed his eyes slightly: "After all, it's possible that an ordinary tourist entered the warehouse and accidentally caught fire and his lower body was crushed by a falling beam. How can you be sure that it is a mermaid?"

"Why can't I be sure, but I..."

Menxie Saori wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she didn't continue.

She remembered that the other party should be a criminal consultant from the Metropolitan Police Department.

It would be inappropriate if I told you that I set fire to a mermaid and killed her three years ago after getting drunk.

If the other party was serious, she might have to go in.
