Chapter XVIII: Corpses

"Did you two really get it?" , Maori Kogoro asked in disbelief, this is too weird, all of them were said by Ye Siyu, and then his eyes fell on the number plate in the hands of the two women.

Sure enough, the numbers on it were the burning picks and four picks on the paper door.

This made Maori Kogoro can't help but open his mouth, completely shocked by the scene in front of him, and the same is true of Conan and Hattori Heiji on the side.

Although Ye Siyu said before that Xiaolan and Yuanshan and Ye Hui would win the lottery, but in their opinion, it was completely a happy word, it was indeed possible for one person to win the lottery, but the possibility of two people winning the lottery together was almost equal to zero, but now they really won, which is really unexpected.

Suddenly, Hattori Heiji seemed to think of something and said, "You won't discuss it with that old woman, will you?" ”

"I see."

As soon as these words came out, Conan and Mori Kogoro showed a look of enlightenment on their faces.

yes, how did they not think of this possibility.

Now this is said to be a lottery, but after seeing the lottery method, the three of them know very well that the so-called winning number is completely decided by the shrine staff such as Shimabukuro's mother-in-law.

You must know that Shimabukuro Junhui, the granddaughter of Shimabukuro Mother-in-law, is the one who gave the number plate to Xiaolan and Yuanshan and Ye, she is very clear about what the number of the two is, if Ye Siyu finds Shimabukuro Junhui and Shimabukuro Mother-in-law during the time she leaves, then it is possible for Xiaolan and Yuanshan and Ye to win the lottery.

"What's this?" , Xiaolan and the two looked at the three of them suspiciously and asked.

"Kazuha, you were deceived by this kid, he should have colluded with Mother-in-law Shimabukuro to be so sure that you won the lottery, otherwise it would be too coincidental." , Hattori Heiji immediately explained.

Although Xiaolan and Toyama and Ye are not detectives, they can stay with detectives like Conan and Hattori Heiji all day long, and they have strong analytical skills, and now they have heard Hattori Heiji's explanation, and they have probably come up with something.

However, the reaction of the next two people made Hattori Heiji dumbfounded.

"Of course we know it's fake."

"You don't think it's true, do you?"

Xiaolan and Yuanshan and Ye looked at Hattori Heiji with the eyes of fools and said, they are indeed naïve, but they are not naïve enough to think that Ye Siyu really has any magic power, even Xiaolan, who has seen Ye Siyu's magic, does not think that Ye Siyu really sees through the future.

And the two of them are Ye Siyu's magic audience's program, and the longest sentence they listen to is that all magic tricks are fake.

Ye Siyu really wants to use his extraordinary ability to attract the extraordinary power of this world to come to the door, but it doesn't mean that he will show his ability unscrupulously, but more vaguely show his differences, instead of talking about his superpowers or something, on the bright side, he still summarizes the magic he performed as a trick.

"This ......", the reaction of Yuanshan and Ye made Hattori Heiji depressed, and he thought that after he exposed Ye Siyu's true face, Yuanshan and Ye would praise themselves or something.

"Really, all the atmosphere was ruined by you Heiji." , Yuanshan and Ye puffed out their mouths and said, after Hattori Pingji made such a fuss, the emotions that were excited by Ye Siyu's words just now have decreased a lot.

While everyone was discussing the matter of winning the lottery, in front of the lit paper door in front of the shrine, Kimie Shimabukuro, disguised as his great-grandmother, stood stunned and watched the shrine staff extinguish the number on the paper door.

"Granny Shimabukuro, is it time to start the next ceremony?" , A staff member who was putting out the fire asked in a low voice when he saw that Kimie Shimabukuro did not go back as originally arranged.

As soon as the shrine staff said this, Shimabukuro Kimie woke up, and then slowly walked back to the shrine.

It's just that the deep doubts have been haunted in her heart and have not receded,

The paper door number was specially chosen for her revenge plan, and in order to ensure the success of the plan, she also confirmed it before the start of the celebration, and now there is an unexpected change, which has to surprise her.

Thinking about it, she couldn't figure out what was going on.

However, she didn't put too much thought into it, because she still needed to continue the celebration, otherwise it would cause misunderstanding, and no matter what went wrong, she would continue to plan revenge.

After a while, the door of the shrine opened again, and Kimie Shimabukuro stepped out and announced, "Listen up, everyone, we will officially award the Dugong Arrow in an hour, please prepare to meet at Mermaid Falls immediately." ”

As soon as everyone heard this, whether they won the lottery or those who did not win the lottery, they all moved towards the direction of the Fishman Waterfall, and Ye Siyu and others were no exception.

The island of America is not big, and the journey from the shrine to Mermaid Falls is not far, and the time is just a few words.

When Ye Siyu arrived at the Mermaid Waterfall, his brows suddenly furrowed, he found that there was something wrong with the water of the Mermaid Waterfall, which contained extremely weak energy, and if it wasn't for these water splashes on him, Ye Siyu wouldn't have found it.

Ye Siyu, who found that the fishman waterfall had a strange appearance, immediately mobilized all his spiritual power to investigate the reason for the energy it contained, and as soon as the spiritual power covered the past, Ye Siyu found a corpse, which was the woman who cheered at the celebration for the first time.

However, Ye Siyu, who had known the plot for a long time, did not pay much attention to the other party, but continued to explore the secrets of the Fishman Waterfall.

At this glance, Ye Siyu found that there was a secret passage in the rock behind the fishman waterfall that was so narrow that it could only accommodate one person to enter, and the energy contained in the waterfall splash was emitted from that hole.

Ye Siyu tried to observe further, but when his spiritual power extended to the limit of nearly forty meters, it could not reach the end of the passage, and it seemed that he needed to go in person to investigate the specific source of the energy.

In this regard, Ye Siyu is not in a hurry, and it is not too late to go in after the matter here is over.

After a while, Shimabukuro arrived, and then began to shout for the winner to take the dugong arrow as Ye Siyu remembered.

"Okay, we'll be right here!"

Xiaolan and Toyama and Ye immediately held hands and went to Shimabukuro Junhui.

"Is that you?"

Looking at Xiaolan and Toyama and Ye in front of her, Shimabukuro Junhui was stunned, she didn't expect that the other two winners were Xiaolan and Toyama Kazuha.

Although the number plate in the hands of the two of them was given by her, she didn't remember what the number of the two was, and now seeing the two of them appear, she couldn't help but feel that the numbers on the paper door would change whether they were made by the other party.

"Miss Shimabukuro, what's wrong?" Seeing that Shimabukuro Junhui had been staring at the two of them, Xiaolan asked puzzledly.

"No, nothing." , Shimabukuro Junhui shook his head, and then looked at the surrounding islanders and tourists and said, "Who else is it?" Has the other one arrived? ”

With Kimie Shimabukuro's shout, a drunken middle-aged man walked out.

The appearance of this man made Shimabukuro Kimie stunned again, in her original plan there should have been no one to show up, and then she announced that the third person could not get the dugong arrow, and now such a man suddenly appeared, which once again disrupted her revenge plan.

"Strange, that's not right, I just thought it was the young lady who won the lottery." , Hattori Heiji was surprised, and when the winning numbers were announced, he noticed that the remaining winner was a woman, not the middle-aged man now.

"yes, why didn't anyone see her?" Conan looked around.

For the woman who won the lottery, Conan still remembers very well who it is, according to her previous performance, she can know that the other party is very confident in mermaids, even if she didn't draw the dugong arrow, then she would definitely go to the scene to watch, but he looked around, and didn't find the other party's figure, which was really very strange.

"Now please three of you, and be baptized by the light of bliss."

On the other side, Shimabukuro Kimihui had already awarded the Dugong Arrow to the three of Xiaolan, and then signaled to the two villagers not far away, and the two of them could be seen making a firework.

A few seconds later, the two villagers covered their ears, and a white light shot out from the fireworks, looking at the sky and shooting away.

"Bang!"

With an explosion, brilliant fireworks burst into the sky, illuminating the otherwise dim Fishman Falls.

"Look, what's that?"

"What? What the? Where? ”

"Waterfall there!"

"People! It's people! ”

The light of the fireworks made everyone find that a swaying female corpse was hanging in front of the fish-man waterfall, and the original brilliant light of the fireworks shone on his face, pale and terrifying, making the originally lively and cheerful atmosphere of the scene depressing, and everyone showed a look of fear on their faces.

The presence of such a thing at the site of such a sacred celebration is an extremely unlucky thing for those who are superstitious, and many people are so frightened that they leave the scene and become riotous.

"Conan, go call the police." , Mori Kogoro said solemnly, and then contacted the staff of the festival to start dealing with the matter.

It didn't take long for the group to reach the top of the waterfall, pull the woman's body up, and confirm the identity of the other party, who was the winner who had disappeared before.

"Shoumei, could it be that she committed suicide? Or did someone kill her? Shimabukuro Kimi-e asked scaredly.

"No, it's impossible for either of these things you said, this one around Shoumei's neck is a fixed rope set on the riverbank to prevent danger." , the villager who pulled the body up with Heiji Hattori picked up the rope on Sumi's body and explained.

"Is that so? I see, that is, Miss Sumi walked to the river in the dark and fell into the river with an unstable center of gravity, during which she grabbed the rope, but the water was so fast that the stake fell off, which caused her to be strangled by the rope on the way down the waterfall. Kogoro Mori picked up the rope and began his simplest reasoning.

"I said, uncle, don't you think it's strange? The festival in the village was taking place at the bottom of the waterfall, so why did she have to come to the forest at this time? Hattori Heiji objected, he thought that this incident was full of suspicions, and it was definitely not as simple as Mori Kogoro said, and there was definitely a secret in it that he and others did not know.

"She's probably here to find the mermaid's grave." At this time, Naoko Kuroe, a female employee of the souvenir shop who also came up with everyone, spoke.

"What?!" As soon as her words came out, she immediately attracted the attention of Maori Kogoro and others.

"Because the mermaid's grave is somewhere in this forest, the mermaid's bones were buried here after the shrine warehouse caught fire on the night of the festival three years ago." , Kuroe Naoko analyzed, and walked to the side of Shoumei's corpse as she spoke, looking at the corpse with a complicated gaze.

"It's possible to say that, I know that Sumi has always cared about that." Kimie Shimabukuro agreed, wishing that others would think so.

"Wait a minute, what do you keep talking about mermaids, are you sure that the bones are really mermaid bones?" Hattori interrupted, his head shaken by the chatter between the two men.

"It's hard to say, that's what the villagers on the island say, but the police from the mainland think it's just the bones of a middle-aged woman." Kimie Shimabukuro explained that when she talked about the bones, she had a sad look on her face, because the woman was none other than her mother, and she had done so much to avenge her mother.

"Stop talking nonsense! The bones of the skeleton below the waist are all in it! Kuroe Naoko suddenly excitedly denied Shimabukuro Kimihui's answer.

"Bones below the waist?" , Mori Kogoro asked with a puzzled face, and he was also confused by the conversation between the two.

"Because a burned beam fell near the waist of the skeleton, after the villagers removed the beam, they found that all the places where the foot bones should have been smashed were smashed, so the TV reported that there was a mermaid corpse here." , explained the villager who helped.

"Nope! That's the mermaid's corpse! ", Kuroe Naoko said excitedly.

"Why are you so sure? Didn't the police say it was a middle-aged woman? Conan frowned.

"Yes, they suspect that it is likely that it is a tourist who did not draw the dugong arrow, in order to find out if there is a backup arrow before sneaking into the warehouse, the main reason for the fire in the warehouse is probably the disaster caused by the lighting of candles, and then after the thought of not finding out her identity, in the end she had to bury her bones by the shrine, but then something happened." , Kimie Shimabukuro said, looking into the depths of the forest, where her mother's grave was.

"What's going on?" , Mori Kogoro asked.

"Someone came to rob the grave." , explained the villager.

"What?" , Mori Kogoro and the others looked at each other in surprise.
