On the dark seaside, the thunder roared, but fortunately, God was quite face-saving and it was not windy and rainy.

After borrowing a flashlight from the islanders, Ritsu Sasashima walked towards Naoko Kuroe's body with a flashlight, and he leaned down to cast the light on Naoko's face, noticing the Yoshikawa line around her neck, and was able to determine that the victim had been strangled alive from behind by the murderer.

And there is also an obvious diamond-shaped penetrating wound on the strangulation marks, which is a wound formed by the arrow of the arrow, which means that the murderer first quickly inserted the arrow into Kuroe Naoko's neck, and then strangled her alive with a rope at the moment when the other party subconsciously covered the wound.

"He died less than an hour ago, and was moved to a fishing net after being strangled." Hattori Heiji frowned and elaborated on his analysis, he looked down at Naoko's feet, and couldn't help but say: "The traces left on the beach are slippers and boots, judging from the slippers on Naoko's feet, the boots should be worn by the murderer." ”

"Did you find the Dugong Arrows at the scene?" Ritsu Sasashima seemed to think of something, and he looked at Heiji Hattori and asked.

Hattori Heiji shook his head, he picked up the flashlight and looked around to make sure there was nothing else, then shrugged his shoulders and replied, "I didn't see it, and you can see that the footprints of the boots are walking straight towards the sea, and the body of the victim also has fish scales, the murderer really wants to lure us to the curse of the mermaid." ”

"It's a novel idea, but it's not very bright." After Ritsu Sashima carefully removed Naoko Kuroe's body from the net, he looked up at the thunderous night sky and said worriedly, "I'm afraid that after a rain, all traces of this place will be removed, even if there is still useful information...... It will also disappear without a trace along with the rain and seawater. ”

"There's no way around that, now I can only find a way to find Saori Kadowaki, or someone will die." Hattori Heiji clenched his fists tightly, obviously he already knew who the murderer was, but he still let her commit a crime under his nose, which was really hateful.

The old man standing on the side showed a surprised expression after hearing the conversation between the two, but he didn't think much about it, just thought that the two young people from outside the island were worried that Saori would be killed by the murderer. So she immediately said loudly: "Saori Kadowaki? Are you talking about Saori? ”

"Old woman, do you have any clues?" Heiji Hattori asked.

"I saw Saori yesterday morning before the festival began, and she was near the Man and the Waterfall!"

Hearing what the old woman said, the uncle on the side also stepped forward and said, "I have also seen her, in the forest of the mermaid waterfall, although I only glanced at it from a distance, but I can be sure that it is Saori this child." ”

If some of the villagers witnessed Saori Kadowaki, it means that she is still alive, so the probability that she is the murderer is very high, and it also matches the reasoning of Ritsu Sasashima and Heiji Hattori.

Now that it was too late, it was not easy to find someone on the island who was trying to hide, so Sasashima Ritsu turned his head to look at Hattori and said, "Let's go back to the hotel to rest first, and go to the forest at dawn tomorrow." ”

"Well, I think so too, I plan to let Miss Junhui take her to the burned shrine warehouse tomorrow, maybe I can find a clue over there." Hattori nodded in agreement, after all, the night operation is really a bit of a crisis, not to mention the low visibility, and there is a high probability of thundershowers, and it will not be cost-effective to slip and fall off the cliff when the time comes.

"I'll go with you tomorrow, right? I was a little scared if I was alone in a hotel. Yuanshan and Ye thought of the dugong arrow on their body, if anyone who had the arrow lost would die, would they also be the target of the murderer?

Thinking of this, she felt like she was going to lose sleep tonight.

Hattori Heiji noticed Kazuha's worried and scared expression, he twisted his brows and reached out to grab her elbow and pulled it to his side, and said in a serious tone: "Well, don't leave my side, I will protect you." ”

“？”

Elm's head actually opened up? It's like an iron tree blooming.

Ritsu Sasashima, who was inexplicably stuffed with a mouthful of dog food, stared at him and didn't know what to say, he felt that he was a little redundant at the moment, I shouldn't be here, I should be under the car.

"Huh? And Miss Ye, your face is so red, is it because you are not feeling well? Shimabukuro Junhui, who stepped forward, couldn't help but say with concern after noticing Kazuha's flushed cheeks.

Yuan Shan and Ye hurriedly lowered their heads and said in a panic: "No, no body is unwell, let's go back to the hotel to rest!"

Xiao Ai must be scared when she is alone in the hotel!

！ ”

Realizing that her elbow was still being held by Heiji, Toyama and Ye pulled their hands out as fast as they could, and even then she could clearly hear her unassailating heartbeat...... Really, why did the stupid Heiji suddenly say something like that, it's so cunning!

Hattori Heiji saw that Kazuha Guangsu withdrew his hand, and glared at Half Moon Eyes a little unhappy, but at this stage, he still went back to the hotel to rest, and only by recuperating his energy can he go to the forest tomorrow to find the hidden murderer.

"Then Miss Junhui, you can go with us."

"Huh? Is there something wrong with Mr. Ogier? ”

According to the reasoning, Sasashima Ritsu felt that Saori Kadowaki's last target must be to attack Shimabukuro Kimi, so he felt that it was an unwise choice to let Shimabukuro Kimie be alone, so he planned to let her live in the hotel together so that she could take care of her.

He raised his hand to Yuanshan and Ye, smiled and explained, "It's too dangerous for you to live alone, it just so happens that we have rented two suites in the hotel, and you can live with Miss Yuanshan and my sister Xiao Ai." ”

"Won't that bother you?"

Shimabukuro Junhui is still very worried in her heart, although she has moved the idea of killing them to avenge her mother, but she can't kill the killer after all. But she was a stranger to them, and she was worried that she owed too much favor, and even felt embarrassed.

"I won't bother, I also want to chat with Miss Junhui~ You can live with us!" Yuanshan and Ye warmly invited, she has always been very understanding, and it is still a little embarrassing to live alone in a room with Xiao Ai, and having one more person will ease the stiff atmosphere.

"Thank you, then I'll go home and get some change of clothes first."

"Then Hattori, you go first, I'll accompany Miss Junhui back to get the clothes."

Ritsu Sasashima walked out with his hands in his pockets, and suddenly noticed a sight at the door, and he looked back vigilantly, only to find that Rokuro Fukuyama, who was wearing a black suit, looked away with a complicated expression, and turned to leave.

Thinking of the magical love triangle scene he discovered a few hours ago, he vaguely guessed that Mr. Fukuyama had misunderstood that he was interested in Miss Kimihui, and he really wanted to raise his hands to show his innocence...... I'm just protecting Miss Junhui, who might be a victim, and I don't have any other ideas.

"Mr. Ogier? Do you have any new discoveries? ”
