Conan's Unscientific Detective

Ten minutes later.

Led by Shimabukuro Kimie, Fujino and his party came to the Shimabukuro family again and came to the room where miscellaneous items were stored.

"There it is, the list of names to draw for the Dugong's Arrow."

Shimabukuro Kimie handed a thick stack of notebooks to everyone.

"So many..."

Hattori Heiji looked at the pile of records in front of him and couldn't help but feel a headache.

“These are the lists from previous years.”

Shimabukuro Kimie said, pulling out a notebook from the stack and explaining, "Here is this year's list."

Hattori Heiji felt helpless and could only start to look through the books slowly.

Fujino narrowed his eyes and randomly picked out two or three lists from the past two years.

If I remember correctly, these lists seem to have the signatures of Gin, his younger brother and Shirley.

He wanted to confirm the real names of gin and vodka.

It was just two or three books.

With the bonus of perception, Fujino quickly found the leaf.

He stopped flipping the pages quickly and looked at the notebook, and saw the names: [Kurosawa Jin], [Uozuka Saburo], [Miyano Shiho].

"It's pretty much the same as I remember..."

Fujino thought about it and felt that the name of Gin was a bit...

It seems to be quite consistent with the other person's temperament.

As for the name, he was always unsure.

Now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he felt a little more confident.

After all, if you waste a White Wolf cigarette just for a name you forgot, it would be a waste of time.

But even if you know it, you still have to think about it carefully.

Miyano Shiho used her real name, so there is definitely no problem.

As for names like Uozuka Saburo and Kurosawa Jin...

He wasn't sure whether it was true or not.

We can only find opportunities to put the truth into practice.

"Brother Fujino, what are you looking at?"

At this time, Conan noticed Fujino who was flipping through a book.

This reminds me of the situation where Fujino quickly found the criminal from multiple screens.

He had reason to suspect that Fujino was secretly collecting some evidence behind his back.

As far as he was concerned, Fujino, that old scoundrel, did everything in secret.

Sometimes they even see through the truth directly, and before he can figure it out, others have already begun to prove it.

"nothing."

Fujino shook his head and said nothing more.

I was just speechless in my heart, secretly complaining about Conan, why was he staring at me every day?

"found it!"

At this time, Hattori Heiji suddenly shouted.

"Have you found it yet?"

Conan's attention was immediately drawn, and he turned around and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's Benzo."

The waiter's face, which was usually a bit gloomy, darkened. "The list includes the names of Ebihara Sumi and Kuroe Naoko, but not Benzo Monkyo's."

"Nani?"

Conan was shocked when he heard this.

"Could it be that guy who attacked Miss Sumi?"

Maori Kogoro guessed, "After hearing that Miss Sumi had drawn the dugong arrow, that guy became malicious and attacked her under the influence of alcohol, and then pretended nothing had happened and came back to exchange for the arrow."

"But why did he attack others and steal the number plates..."

Hattori Heiji was still a little confused: "And if he is Xiao Hei, then his daughter might have been kidnapped by him as well."

He couldn't understand how someone could attack others for something like this.

“Maybe it’s for money.”

Fujino thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I remember this thing could be sold for a million yen if it was expensive."

"One million yen?!"

Maori Kogoro was obviously shocked by Fujino's words, "Is this thing really so valuable?"

"Although the Dugong Arrow may not look very valuable, if it is given to someone who needs it, I think someone will buy it even if it costs several million yen."

Fujino nodded. He remembered that the arrow stolen by Benzo Monkyo from Saori Monkyo was sold for 1 million yen: "When they are helpless, humans will always pray for something illusory. Even if there is a one in a billion chance, they will try their best to get it... Benzo Monkyo is Saori's father. If you think about it, it is possible that he sold his daughter's arrow."

"If that's the case, it's possible."

Maori Kogoro frowned slightly: "After he found out that his daughter had hired a detective, he ran to Tokyo and kidnapped her. During the Dugong Festival yesterday, he found out that Miss Sumi was also hit by a dugong arrow, and attacked her..."

"Forehead……"

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Conan, Hattori Heiji and Fujino couldn't help but look at Maori Kogoro speechlessly.

As a normal detective, Kogoro Mori's idea was definitely not adopted.

Everyone planned to go to Menxie's house first to see the situation and ask the uncle what was going on.

But before leaving, Fujino went to the toilet again.

…………

Fujino sat on the toilet, looking straight at the shadow in front of him.

After a moment, the shadow began to peel off from his body, and then crawled out from the crack in the door as if it had consciousness.

Fujino looked at his own shadow gradually disappearing into the distance, his expression somewhat strange.

Although this method of action is quite convenient, it feels a bit weird in actual operation, just like the tentacle monkey shochu.

After being peeled off, the shadow slowly crawled out of the Shimabukuro family and turned into a human form in the woods outside the house.

After sensing that Xiao Hei was in place, Fujino also walked out of the bathroom.

Now, the plan he envisioned began to take shape.

…………

Inside the souvenir shop on the island.

Naoko Kuroe stood in front of the shelf, looking down at the Dugong Arrow hanging in front of her chest, looking a little uneasy.

The reasoning just now obviously scared her.

Although the mermaid ghost sounded outrageous, it was more and more outrageous to her as a mermaid believer.

She was extremely scared at this moment. Now the other two people who had set the fire three years ago had been retaliated against. As one of the arsonists, she was also afraid of being retaliated against.

"May the arrows of the dugong bless you..."

Naoko Kuroe devoutly placed her hand on the arrow in front of her chest, praying for the blessing of the life-like mermaid's power.

In her eyes, as long as she doesn't lose her dugong arrow, she will not be in danger and will live a long life.

Even if the mermaid's ghost really came, she would not be afraid at all.

As for the retaliation against the other two people, she thought about it and felt that she could only blame those two people for what they deserved.

One of them got such a good thing as the Dugong Arrow and showed off, and the other one was a fool who dared to lose such a treasure. If not these two, who would be retaliated against?

"Naoko, you finally got this arrow."

The store manager standing in front of the cashier couldn't help but tease when she saw this: "You've been asking for it before, and now you finally get what you want. But I really don't understand why you young people are so superstitious about this kind of thing."

"Mermaids definitely exist..."

Nao Kuroe did not refute too fiercely: "Saori, Sumi, they must have been attacked by the ghost of the mermaid."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 351 Are all the Xiao Hei so brave nowadays?

The store manager glanced at Naoko Kuroe and felt a little tired.

Mermaids and fate are all fake. They have always been pretended by the women of the Shimabukuro family. Apart from her, many old people on the island know about it.

However, even though they knew the truth, they pretended to be ignorant. They were afraid that the truth would be exposed if they told others, so they did not tell the children.

Three years ago, when the warehouse caught fire, they had planned to give up holding the Dugong Festival. However, when they found out that the only remaining daughter of the Shimabukuro family planned to continue pretending to be a murderer, for the sake of their own interests, they chose to play dumb and suppressed the matter at the same time.

The geographical location of American Island is very remote and there is no industrial pillar. Most of the islanders make a living by fishing. Although the Dugong Festival cannot boost the economy too much, when the festival is held, the large number of tourists that flock to the island can still make them a lot of money.

The gift shop she opened survives precisely because of tourists.

After all, profit comes first, and no one would be willing to let this extra income disappear.

"Jingle Bell!"

At this moment, the doorbell rang suddenly at the door of the store.

"welcome!"

Recovering her thoughts, the store manager raised her head and greeted the visitor enthusiastically, but when she saw the visitor's appearance clearly, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

He was a man wearing black clothes and had a strange appearance.

As for why she said he looked weird... although she was not someone who would discriminate against others based on their appearance, that person was just too dark!

He is even darker than the dark-skinned boy I saw before!

[Hattori Heiji: You're still slandering me when I'm not around? ]

"I can't see his face...it's pitch black..."

Naoko Kuroe turned pale and couldn't help swallowing: "A mermaid's ghost?!"

"Kuroe Naoko?"

Upon hearing this, Fujino silently took out an electric baton from his pocket, walked slowly forward, and asked in a dull voice.

"Don't come over here!"

Naoko Kuroe shouted, grabbed the dugong arrow hanging in front of her chest, and waved it wildly in front of her.

The dugong's arrow is still an arrow. The tip of the arrow is not very sharp, but it can still scratch people.

Fujino narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze catching the dugong's arrows that kept flashing with silver light, and nimbly dodged the opponent's random attacks.

At the same time, he raised the electric baton in his hand high up and then dropped it at the right moment.

"Zi Liu!"

Accompanied by a sharp explosion of electric current, the huge black electric baton hit Naoko Kuroe's forehead hard.

After just one hit, she felt dizzy, and then was knocked unconscious by a large, black, electric baton.

"Tsk..."

Fujino looked down at Naoko Kuroe who was lying straight on the ground, then looked at the electric baton in his hand that was faintly flashing with electricity, and clicked his tongue.

With the experience of hitting people with a wooden sword, it was relatively easy to get started with the electric baton.

Moreover, it avoids the embarrassment of not being able to make someone faint by knocking them out.

Electric batons are still more useful...
