Chapter 19: Accidents
"Those guys whimsically pried open the grave and stole the mermaid bones inside."
"They think mermaid bones are also a miracle medicine for immortality."
The villagers and Kuroe Naoko added one by one.
This answer made the three of Maori Kogoro speechless, there are really people in this world who believe in the matter of mermaid bones.
"Did they finally take the bones away?" At this time, Ye Siyu asked.
Ye Siyu knew that the skeleton was Shimabukuro Junhui's mother, and since Shimabukuro Junhui was a mermaid, then her mother should also have the blood of a mermaid.
"No, last year my great-grandmother had the mermaid's grave secretly moved to this forest for burial." , Shimabukuro Kimie shook his head.
"So, who is she asking for?" , Mori Kogoro asked.
"I don't know, I just heard her say it's just a person she trusts." , Kimie Shimabukuro shook her head.
After finding that there were no useful clues, Mori Kogoro said helplessly: "Whether this incident is a suicide, a homicide, or an accident, these can only be studied after taking Miss Sumi's body down the mountain and waiting for the police to arrive at the scene." ”
"If this is what he killed, then there must be a problem with Shoumei, who will carry everyone to this place at this time." , the villagers picked up Shoumei's body and said.
"Really, your fiancée just had an accident, and you're so cold." , Kuroe Naoko said with a sarcastic smile.
"His fiancée?" , Everyone looked at the man who picked up Shoumei's body in amazement.
"It was a marriage decided by our parents without authorization, and it has nothing to do with me, besides, my parents are long gone, and this matter can't be counted." , The villager said flatly, and then went down the mountain with Shoumei's body in his arms.
"Snort." , Kuroe Naoko smiled disdainfully, and also opened her legs and prepared to go down the mountain.
However, just as her feet were about to hit the ground, the wooden stake that had been tied with rope on the ground moved strangely to her feet.
"Ahh
The foot fell, which directly made Kuroe Naoko lose her balance, and the whole person fell to the river next to her.
"Where's Miss Kuroe?"
"Fell into the river!"
Everyone who heard the exclamation turned their heads to look and found that Kuroe Naoko, who was standing there, was gone, and when he looked closely, he found that he was already in the water.
"Help! Help! ”
Seeing this scene, everyone became flustered, you must know that the location of everyone is near the mouth of the waterfall, if you don't pull it up quickly, then the other party is likely to fall down the waterfall.
It was a waterfall nearly forty meters high, and even those who were familiar with diving would have a high chance of being injured if they fell from that height with adequate preparation, not to mention someone like Naoko Kuroe who was obviously unprepared, and would lose his life if he was not careful.
"Rope!" Conan said, pointing to the rope on the ground that tied the stake to prevent others from falling into the river.
"Let me come!" When Hattori heard this, he immediately grabbed the stake, and then threw it out with all his strength, and the result was very gratifying, and the stake fell next to Naoko Kuroe.
"Great!"
Seeing this scene, everyone shouted excitedly, thinking that Kuroe Naoko was saved, but unfortunately, what happened in the next second surprised everyone.
I saw that the rope that was supposed to save the other party was taken away by the current, and then went around Kuroe Naoko and directly tied her neck.
Because the water is too turbulent, Kuroe Naoko can't even take off the rope tied around her neck if she wants to.
In the midst of her struggle, she was washed straight down the waterfall.
At this scene in front of them, everyone present was stunned, they didn't expect things to develop like this.
"What are you doing to get her back?" At this time, Ye Siyu said faintly.
When everyone heard this, they suddenly stirred up, and then began to pull Kuroe Naoko up together.
After some hard work, everyone pulled Kuroe Naoko up, but she was no longer breathing, and her death was exactly the same as Shoumei's.
"This ...... This ......"
"Why is this happening......
Everyone was shocked by what was happening in front of them, it was so weird that it looked like a reenactment of Seomi's death.
"Did Shoumi die like this?" , Shimabukuro Kimi, whose face was full of disbelief, spoke.
"Should...... I guess that's how it should be. Mori Kogoro stammered, he didn't know what to say.
Because it was all happening right under their noses, and no one was involved, he didn't feel that anyone could control the direction of the water.
Shimabukuro Junhui didn't speak, but looked at Kuroe Naoko's body blankly, as she knew how Sumimi died, after she saw the death process of Kuroe Naoko, her heart was shocked in addition to shock, and she didn't know how to say it.
Shoumei's death was caused by her on purpose, in order to deceive others, she didn't expect such a thing to happen, and the object of the incident was the person she was going to kill next, which was really weird, weird and creepy, as if there was a hand operating.
"By the way, take this corpse down with you." , Ye Siyu said lightly, letting everyone recover from the shock.
"That's right, take the corpse down first." , Maori Kogoro took a deep breath and said, what happened today is too unbelievable, he needs time to digest and digest and calm down.
Soon, the group descended the mountain with the two corpses and returned to the bottom of the waterfall.
"Isn't that Naoko?"
"What's wrong with her?"
"I don't know."
The villagers, who had been waiting at the bottom of the waterfall, found that there was an additional corpse besides Sumi, and suddenly became lively and began to discuss what was going on.
Mori Kogoro immediately stepped forward with the villager who was holding Sumi's body to explain what had just happened, which made the villagers feel incredible and sigh at the same time.
"Pingji, look over there." Conan, who was observing the scene, pulled Hattori Heiji's clothes, and then pointed to a place not far away.
Hattori Heiji looked in the direction Conan was pointing and could see a lifebuoy floating on the shore, he immediately took it over and called out to Mori Kogoro, who was communicating with the villagers who went to call the police, "Uncle, look at this." ”
"Lifebuoy?" , Seeing the things in Hattori Heiji's hands, Mori Kogoro was a little puzzled and didn't understand what he meant.
"This lifebuoy was originally stuck on the river that connects the waterfall to the sea, and I just found it with my brother Heiji." , Conan said.
"If the murderer had let Miss Sumi lose her breath first, then strangled her neck with a rope, and then used a lifebuoy to make her slide down, he would have naturally been able to hang on top of the waterfall, and when we saw Miss Sumi at the shrine, it was two hours before the fireworks were released, and it took less than an hour to get to the top of the waterfall, which means that this crime can be done by both men and women, and the murderer is hiding somewhere on this island right now." , Hattori Heiji analyzed after putting his hat in the right position.
Shimabukuro Junhui next to her listened to Hattori Heiji's analysis, her face changed suddenly, she didn't expect Hattori Heiji to be able to analyze this process that was very close to the truth just by relying on a lifebuoy.
"Black boy, what evidence do you have that what you just analyzed is correct?" At this time, Ye Siyu's voice interrupted Hattori's analysis.
"That's the proof." , Hattori Heiji raised the lifebuoy in his hand again.
Ye Siyu shook his head, then picked up the lifebuoy and asked loudly to the villagers in the back, "Who owns this lifebuoy?" ”
"Brother...... That...... That's my ......", as Ye Siyu's voice fell, a timid voice came out of the crowd, and everyone separated, and it could be seen that it was a little child.
The child's answer made Hattori Heiji and Conan, who felt that they had found the murderer's principle of the crime, dumbfounded, they didn't expect this lifebuoy to be thrown away by a little child.
"When did you throw away this lifebuoy?" , Hattori Heiji, who was not quite convinced, frowned and asked.
"At dinnertime." , the little kid replied.
"How do you prove that this lifebuoy is yours?" , Hattori Heiji is still not convinced, and further confirmation is needed.
"Wow~! It's mine~", Hattori's words made some submissive little children cry directly.
"Pingji, how do you bully children!" , Yuanshan and Ye stood up and scolded, and then squatted down with Xiaolan to comfort the little boy.
"This?!"
Kimie Shimabukuro and Heiji Hattori, who saw this scene on the side, were also dumbfounded like Conan, she never thought that things would develop like this, you must know that the lifebuoy is her family's, not the child's.
"I said black boy, do you still have evidence now?" , Ye Siyu asked while handing the survival ring to Yuanshan and Ye to appease the little kid.
"I ...... He ......", Hattori's mouth opened, but he didn't know how to explain it, so he could only shut his mouth aggrievedly.
With this farce, the event of the dead is over, and the villagers go home to collect the props of the celebration, and Mori Kogoro and others simply record the characteristics of the corpse as evidence after the arrival of the police tomorrow and plan to go back to the town to rest.
"I still have something to do, you can go back to the hotel first." , Ye Siyu said.
"Boy, you're not trying to find that mermaid's grave, are you?" , Maori Kogoro looked at Ye Siyu and asked, he knows how much Ye Siyu likes supernatural events, and his bar has a feature, whoever has a supernatural case that Ye Siyu has never heard of, then he can drink a night of wine for free.
Knowing the news at the time, he racked his brains for some supernatural cases.
"Sort of." , Ye Siyu smiled and said goodbye to everyone after speaking.
……
"This gentleman, I don't know what is the matter with you?" , Shimabukuro Junhui, who was arranging for the villagers to sort out the celebration props at the bottom of the waterfall, saw Ye Siyu walking towards him, so he asked suspiciously.
"I have something I need your cooperation with Miss Shimabukuro, and it's my reward for helping you." , Ye Siyu was not ambiguous, and went straight to the topic.
"Help me with the reward!" , Shimabukuro Junhui's body was shocked, she had already thought of something, she didn't think that Ye Siyu would say these strange things for no reason, obviously what had just happened had something to do with Ye Siyu in front of her.
But when she thought about it, she still needed to confirm, "Sir, I don't know what you're talking about, can you be more detailed?" ”
"Naoko Kuroe's death and lifebuoy." , Ye Siyu said directly.
"It's really you!" When Shimabukuro Junhui heard this, her eyes widened, although she had already confirmed it according to Ye Siyu's words just now, she was still shocked after getting Ye Siyu's affirmation.
"That's right, I wonder if you're willing to cooperate with me?" , Ye Siyu asked with a smile.
Shimabukuro Kimie was silent, lost in thought, and after a few seconds, gritted her teeth and said, "Yes." ”
She didn't know what Ye Siyu wanted to cooperate with, but she knew that she was now a fish on someone else's chopping board, to be slaughtered, and if she didn't cooperate, what she had done would likely be exposed.
"I don't have to show that look, the things I need you to cooperate with are very simple, and I don't need you to do anything illegal, and it won't hurt you." , Looking at Shimabukuro Junhui's expression, Ye Siyu knew what she was thinking, and immediately added.
"Do you want to find the mermaid's grave too?" , Kimie Shimabukuro asked.
She doesn't have anything of value, and the most valuable thing is the mermaid grave that many people remember.
"I do want to find the mermaid's grave, but it's not the mermaid's grave you said you said, it's just your mother's grave, and I don't need it." , Ye Siyu said lightly.
"You know it's my mother's grave!?" , Shimabukuro Junhui was surprised, she didn't expect Ye Siyu to know about her mother.
"What's so strange about this, it's not just me, it's everyone in this village who knows it." , Ye Siyu said.
"How is that possible!" , Shimabukuro Kimime doesn't believe it.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask any random person to see if they know that the person who died at that time was your mother, and they also know that you are Shimabukuro-ma." , Ye Siyu directly said what should have been revealed at the end of the incident.
After listening to Ye Siyu's words, Shimabukuro Junhui immediately ran towards a villager not far away, she needed to confirm what Ye Siyu said.
A few minutes later, Kimie Shimabukuro, who had communicated with the villagers, stood in a daze, shocked by the truth, it turned out that everyone in the village knew that her great-grandmother had died a long time ago, and she had always pretended to be herself.
Shimabukuro Junhui didn't speak, obviously not believing Ye Siyu's words
