The Kadowaki family lives in the north of Mermaid Island, relatively close to the back mountain, and there are few households around.

And judging from the plants placed at the door, there has been no one to take care of these poor plants since Saori Kadowaki left home, and several pots have withered.

Because trespassing into someone else's house without permission is not a good thing, so Ritsu Sasashima still pretended to ring the doorbell twice, and after making sure that there was indeed no one inside, he turned to look at Shimabukuro Kimihui, who had already taken out the key from under the flower pot, and asked out loud, "Can we really go in?" Mr. Kadowaki probably won't report me for trespassing, right? ”

Shimabukuro Kimie smiled and took out the key to open the door lock, pushed the door and smiled: "Don't worry, Uncle Kadowaki doesn't care about this kind of thing, the residents of the island are used to visiting the door, and everyone will put the spare key in the carpet or flower pot or something like that." ”

“…… Okay. ”

It turns out that it's not the Kadowaki family's weak sense of security, it's the "customs" of this island.

Shimabukuro Kimie skillfully walked towards Saori Motsuwaki's room, she didn't let Ogil go in directly, but said, "Mr. Ogil, you wait at the door now, I'll go see if Saori has thrown her underwear around." ”

"Okay, okay, you can go quickly." Ritsu Sasashima scratched his cheeks in embarrassment, he really didn't expect Shimabukuro Kimie to speak so bluntly, which made him a little embarrassed.

After about two minutes, Shimabukuro Kimihui checked and made sure there was no problem before letting Ogier walk in, she sat on the bed and sighed, "I came to Saori's room three days ago to see it, and it is still exactly the same as before, I really don't know where she is these days, if it is on the island...... Where do you live? ”

Ritsu Sasashima looked around for useful clues, and when he noticed the dirt in the cracks of the floor-to-ceiling glass doors, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "I think she may live here, but she only comes back late every night, and you can't see the change because she has carefully cleaned up the scene, but unfortunately there are still some omissions." ”

"Huh? Saori is home to live? ”

"yes, she's very bold." Ritsu Sasashima squatted down and took out gloves and put them on, directly touched the dirt mixed with sand in the crack of the door, and frowned, "Didn't it rain yesterday?" There was also a fish scale mixed between the sand and dirt, presumably she had entered through this floor-to-ceiling door yesterday, but she had missed it from the cleanup. ”

"Will Saori come back today?"

Ritsu Sasashima opened the wardrobe directly, and noticed that there was an empty space in the lower left corner, he raised his eyebrows and analyzed: "I don't think she should come back, she should have found a place to live, the vacant place here should be the suitcase, she should come back to get clothes." ”

The rest of the bedroom is very clean, and even in the backpack placed on the coffee table, there are headache medicine, toothbrushes and other changes of clothes, I am afraid that they are used to confuse everyone's vision.

"Is it true that Miss Saori doesn't have a good relationship with his father?"

"Yes, Saori often quarrels with Uncle Kadowaki, and it's nothing more than alcoholism. So Saori often runs away from home.,This bag is what she prepared for running away from home.,Every time she gets angry, she leaves directly behind her back.,Sometimes she goes to live at my house.,Sometimes she runs to Sumi and Naoko.,All in all, she won't leave the island anymore.。 ”

It seems that Saori Kadowaki does like this island, but as for what she likes about this island...... I'm afraid it has something to do with the immortality of the mermaid, especially after what happened three years ago, and she absolutely believes that finding the mermaid's grave will keep her youth forever.

"By the way, did Miss Saori say anything to you before she disappeared? For example, something related to mermaids? ”

Kimie Shimabukuro recalled the scene when the two went to see a dentist outside the island, and explained loudly: "Saori was very nervous some time before she went to the dentist, and I thought she had a toothache at first, but after questioning, she said that she was worried that she would be avenged by the mermaid, and when she went to sea, she was scared to death when there was a little wind and waves at sea, saying that she had lost the dugong's arrow, and the mermaid would kill her, and the whole person was not in a good mental state." ”

Lost the Dugong's Arrow and feared that the merfolk would take revenge on her? It's a pity that the mermaid won't take revenge, and the person who had the murderous intention at that time was still Shimabukuro Junhui.

"It's really strange, she was so afraid that the mermaid would seek revenge on her, and she dared to stab Miss Heijiang with a dugong arrow." Ritsu Sasashima pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache, and he didn't know if Hattori and Kazuha had found useful clues in the forest, and he had to find Saori Kadowaki quickly, and he couldn't stay on this island as a personal bodyguard all the time.

Shimabukuro Junhui pursed her lips and didn't answer, she got up and walked outside, and said leisurely: "Mr. Ogier, I'll pour you a glass of water, do you need to add ice cubes?" ”

"Thanks, then please add more ice cubes."

Ritsu Sasashima took out his mobile phone and was about to call Hattori Heiji's mobile phone, wanting to ask him how his harvest was in the forest, but before he could find his number in the address book, he heard screams from the direction of the kitchen.

Realizing that Shimabukuro Kimime was in danger, he quickly rushed in the direction where the screams came from, but before he could enter the door, he was hit by someone, and when he looked closely, he found that it was Shimabukuro Kimie who was running out with his face covered.

"Miss Junhui? What's going on?! ”

"Uncle Men, Uncle Menwaki, he ......"

Just standing at the door, I smelled the strong smell of blood, and after Sasashima Ritsu reacted, he hurriedly straightened Shimabukuro Junhui and walked quickly towards the kitchen, and he saw Modowaki Benzo, who was lying in front of the refrigerator and stared at him with round eyes and a dead look.

His left hand was on his neck, his whole hand was stained with bright red, of course, he had been dead long enough, the blood had already taken on a dark dark red, and the weather was on the low side, and the blood had already coagulated.

Why did there be an unexpected death?

This was the first question that came to Sasashima Ritsu's mind when he saw the body of Benzo Kadowaki.

He approached the body with a solemn face, leaned down and saw a large number of anti-wounds on his arm, and it was the fruit knife that fell into the pool of blood that cut his arm, and this time Saori Kadowaki did not take the murder weapon away from the scene.

Well? Wrong...... There was no dugong arrow in sight, so why did she only take the dugong arrow?

Ritsu Sasashima suddenly remembered that when Saori Kadowaki committed the eucalyptus for the first time, the target was Ebihara Suzumi, who was about to get the dugong's arrow, and the second target was Kuroe Naoko, who had already obtained the dugong's arrow.

What these three deceased people have in common is the Dugong Arrow, could it be that the previous reasoning angle is wrong, and the purpose of Saori Kadowaki to kill people is not to cover up the catastrophe caused three years ago, but the Dugong Arrow?!

Then Shimabukuro Kimi, who doesn't have the dugong arrow in his hand, is not Saori Kadowaki's final goal, but the distant mountains and leaves that happen to get the dugong's arrow - not good! Hattori they are in danger!

"Junhui! You should know where the merfolk grave is, right?! Take me there!
