Chapter Eighty-Eight: Appreciation

After Kimie Shimabukuro left, Shiki came out of hiding. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

I walked to the river and watched the water rushing towards the cliffs.

Many things, like this river, can't go back.

Lifting his foot, weighing hundreds of kilograms, he directly stomped down and stepped on the bank, directly crushing the riverbank.

With this, it may be able to show that Ebihara Suzumi has fallen into the water.

Of course, in addition to this, there is another one to solve.

The preparations that should be made must be done, and they can't be seen by Conan and Hattori Heiji.

Of course, now it can only be said that everyone is doing their best to obey the destiny of heaven.

After I did it, I made a little bit of retouching, and then I saw that there was nothing missing, and I just left.

Run as fast as you can to the bottom of the waterfall and go downstream along the river.

After a long time, I found the swimming ring that washed down the river, searched carefully, and found the number plate, and then put the number plate away.

In the original book, this number plate was picked up by Saori's father, and the size is also a clue.

So just put it away, wait for a chance to put it back in Ebihara Sumi's pocket, or directly destroy the body or something, and try your best to reduce the risk of Shimabukuro Kimie being discovered.

Of course, what we need to do now is to dispose of the swimming ring, and dispose of it without leaving a trace.

……

Although it seems like it is going to rain at any time, many people still gather at the bottom of the mermaid falls to watch the festival go on.

There are also people who are not drawn and are not interested in these activities later, so they do not come more.

Of course, this doesn't make a difference.

In the open space facing the waterfall, Kimie Shimabukuro had already come here to prepare, standing in the middle of two braziers, wearing a shrine maiden costume with a serious expression.

The people around were not making any noise, they were all watching the celebration progress.

"Now, please come to the front with the three lucky guests tonight."

"Yes, yes, right away!"

Yuan Shan and Ye, who were lucky enough to be drawn, responded very happily, and then pulled up the rope in front of him and walked straight over.

And in addition, Naoko Kuroe also came out.

But the last one did not appear.

In this regard, Shimabukuro Junhui was not surprised, but still shouted a few times.

"The last lucky guest, who was the last to be drawn? Please come to the front. ”

And so I waited a little longer.

But still no one has come out.

Kimie Shimabukuro seemed to frown, but didn't say much.

In fact, such a result is normal, and in the original book, Saori's father picked up the number plate just because of a coincidence.

Kimie Shimabukuro in the original book wouldn't know, so in the end, Saori Menkyo's father came out, which surprised her a little, but even if no one came out, it didn't matter.

So Kimie Shimabukuro didn't say much, although the audience was a little confused, but they also thought that the third person who was drawn gave up, and there was nothing to care about.

In the end, it was just to send dugong arrows to Toyama Kazuha and Kuroe Naoko.

After that, it's time to set off fireworks on the side.

A burst of fireworks flew into the sky and burst into brilliant light.

Everyone's eyes were raised.

It's not a fireworks display, but it looks good.

However, with the light of the outburst, there were still sharp-eyed people who saw it, and pointed in the direction of the waterfall with some astonishment.

"Hey, look, what's that?"

"What?"

Mori Kogoro and the others, who happened to be next to the person who made the sound, turned their eyes to look in the direction the man was pointing.

The other people who heard the sound also looked over there.

When I opened my eyes wide and looked closely, there seemed to be a dark shadow in the waterfall reflecting a faint light.

"Bang!"

The fireworks bloomed again, bringing a brief burst of light to the world.

It's short-lived, but it's enough.

The woman with long hair swayed with the impact of the current, like a mermaid swimming upstreams in a waterfall.

Maybe this is when she is at her most beautiful, and of course when she is the ugliest.

……

After a long time.

With the efforts of Shiki, Hattori Heiji, and that person named Fukuyama Rokuro, he pulled up Ebihara Sumi's body.

found that Ebihara Sumi was wearing a dress and had no pockets, so Shiki also kept the number plate by himself.

No one would suspect him anyway, let alone search him.

After that, find an opportunity and just destroy it.

Put Ebihara Sumimi on the ground, it is obvious that there is no help.

And Shimabukuro Junhui, but with a little sad tone, spoke.

"Sumi...... Is it suicide? Or did someone kill her? ”

Shiki can hear that Shimabukuro Kimime is really sad.

Anyway, it's also a friend who has played since childhood, although the other party killed her mother.

However, death is like a lamp going out, and grievances and grievances end here.

Without waiting for anyone else to say anything, Shiki spoke directly.

"The likelihood of suicide is the greatest."

"Huh? Why? ”

Xiaolan was the first to ask.

Everyone else also looked at the four seasons with puzzled expressions.

There was something more in Conan's eyes, because he knew.

When he encountered any case in the past, the four seasons pretended not to know and didn't bother to pay attention to it.

Why is it so positive today?

Shiki ignored them, and directly pointed to the corner of the river that was trampled by him.

"You see, it's obviously a new collapse here, and it is estimated that this woman came here for some reason, and then stepped on it, and it collapsed, and she fell into the river, and in a panic she grabbed these fixed ropes, but because the water was too fast, the stake fell off, and in a hurry, she put the rope around her neck, and when she rushed down the cliff, she was hanged."

Everyone looked in the direction pointed by the four seasons and did find traces of a new landslide.

Conan and Hattori Heiji also walked over to take a look, and they were sure that it was a new collapse.

So they couldn't help frowning.

Was it really just an accident?

Shiki looked at these two people, and a trace of unhappiness flashed in his eyes.

Sometimes I really hate people who want to find the so-called truth in such a desperate way.

On the contrary, Shiki admires Mori Kogoro more than the two high school detectives.

When Mori Kogoro encounters a case, he generally directly thinks it is an accident, a suicide or something, while Conan and Hattori Heiji generally directly think that it is a homicide.

Although the fact proves that they are indeed right.

But do they really want the world to be all homicides? Is it all one person hurting the other?

Although the reality of the world is like this, it is true that human beings are animals who like to kill each other and hurt each other.

But it is precisely because of this that human beings have to pursue beauty.

That's why Shiki appreciates Mori Kogoro's attitude.

How nice it would be if people actually died, it was just a simple accident, a simple birth, old age, sickness and death.

Unfortunately, the four seasons also know that it is impossible.

And Mori Kogoro seems to think so, and directly nods in agreement with Shiki's words.

"That's right, the likelihood of an accident is the highest."

"But the village's celebrations are supposed to take place under the waterfall, so why did she come here?"

Hattori Heiji raised such a doubt, which is indeed a doubt.

Obviously the celebration is taking place below, why do you want to come to the forest above at this time?

Heiji Hattori and Conan suspect that someone deliberately called her out, killed her, and then disguised herself as an accident.

After all, the landslide by the river can also be faked.

And at this time, Kuroe Naoko, who came up, suddenly spoke.

"Perhaps, she wanted to come here to find the mermaid's grave."

"What?"

"Because the mermaid's grave is somewhere in this forest."

Three years ago, Kimie Shimabukuro's mother was burned to death and rumored to be a mermaid, causing huge concern.

In fact, it is very clear who it is, the older generation of villagers here.

But young people don't know, and neither do people outside.

So even when there is such a thing as tomb robbing, nothing can stop people from greedy for immortality.

In the end, the longevity woman, that is, Kimie Shimabukuro, directly asked the grave to be moved to this forest, and except for a few people, no one knew, and the young people in the village didn't know.

Said something like this for a while, and then there was no then.

Conan and Hattori Heiji don't know if Ebihara Suzumi is here because of this.

So Fukuyama Rokuro went down directly with Ebihara Shoumi's body.

Heiji Hattori and Conan, on the other hand, continued to look everywhere, as if they wanted to see if they could get more clues.

Shiki looked at their backs and considered whether it would be better to kill them so that they could keep their secrets......

Well, that's just a joke too.

It's impossible to kill them, but it's okay to get in the way.

And the best way to get in the way of them......

"Hey, uncle, I suddenly remembered that Sister Lan hasn't been married to others yet, right?"

"Huh? What do you kid want to do? ”

"Why don't you consider me, you see that we are the same family, Sister Lan or my senior sister, they are all a family, isn't it better to be close to each other?"

"What do you mean...... It also makes sense. ”

Mori Kogoro seems to agree.

Xiaolan, on the other hand, was a little unhappy.

"Dad, Shiki, what are you talking nonsense?"

"It's a lifelong event for you, how can you say it's nonsense?"

Maori Kogoro glared and said imposingly.

Looking at that posture, it seems that there is really a serious consideration.

So Conan immediately couldn't calm down, and at this time, he didn't care about investigating the case, so he ran over directly and paid attention to the latest developments at any time.

And the four seasons decisively turned their target to the distant mountains and leaves.

"Heye sauce, if Sister Lan is unwilling, why don't you think about it? Although he is not handsome and inhumane, he is not bad, and he is young and golden, he is a high-quality potential stock, and he can also write lyrics and compose music, what do you think? ”

The four seasons looked like they were selling themselves, and ran to Yuanshan and Ye and said with a smile.

And Maori Kogoro still looks like he agrees.

"That's right, it's indeed a potential stock, I think it can be there."

"What...... What? What's the matter with me?! ”

Toyama and Ye pouted, expressing their displeasure, and glanced at Shiki.

That's why the four seasons came to tease her again.

And Hattori Heiji is naturally not calm like Conan.

And compared to Conan, he is even more unsettled.

"What are you talking about?"

"What's the matter with you? And Ye chan is not your who, who, who. ”

Shiki retorted directly.

In this regard, Hattori Heiji is really a little speechless.

Although they are childhood sweethearts, they really haven't determined the relationship or anything.

So even if someone pursues the distant mountains and leaves, he doesn't seem to have a position to interfere.
