I'm making soy sauce in the detective world
Chapter 190 The Mermaid Outside the Hall
After waiting for the people who came in to speak, everyone reacted, and the task of the old witch who appeared was the longevity woman they were looking for.
I have to say that the first time Guangyou saw this face, he felt that makeup was really high. The longevity woman who removed the makeup was indeed the same as the old witch. His face was full of wrinkles, and his facial features seemed to be crowded. At the same time, her short stature is really shocking.
Conan hesitated for a while, and asked, "Grandma, I want to ask how you decided on the number of the dugong arrow."
The longevity woman seemed to have not heard Conan’s questioning, and stood there calmly on crutches. Conan thought that his hearing was not good when he was old, but when he was depressed, the longevity woman replied: "Look. Depending on the situation, I sometimes use the numbers drawn in the race horse."
Immediately, she laughed herself. There were few teeth left in her mouth. Guangyou couldn't help but help the glasses that fell but did not exist: "I am the same person as Uncle Maori. I still insist on being so big. Horse betting is also rare."
Heiji also asked the question in his mind: "I want to ask why you don't sell more dugong arrows."
This time, the longevity woman answered quickly. She pulled off her hair and said, "That's impossible. The hair I can use to tie those arrows is already very limited."
"Great-grandmother, I have put your bath water away."
The voice of Junhui came from a distance, and the longevity woman turned her head and said to the people in the room: "I'm sorry, if you don't have important things, I will take a bath and sleep."
Conan hurriedly wanted to talk about his next question. Unexpectedly, the longevity woman ignored Conan and said to Heye inside: "By the way, that little girl with tied hair, the arrow of the dugong was originally an arrow that can exorcise evil spirits. Once you let go of the treasure arrow, the monster will build a nest on you. If it is a man, it will enter the soil and become a heartless ghost."
"If you are a woman, you will enter the water and become a mermaid who can't speak, so I advise you to take it with you for a while."
After all, he left without looking back on his crutches.
He Ye was a little worried as long as she didn't know the so-called words. It is estimated that among the people present, she believed in these superstitions the most.
After Pingci comforted a few words, He Ye got better, and then everyone simply rested for a few hours, then got up and went to Sumi's memorial service.
Fortunately, he came out this time and brought school uniforms with Heye. Although the occasion seemed a bit wrong, it was better than the clothes worn by the few people now.
After changing into dark clothes, a few people came to Sumi's house. Although they were not familiar with the deceased, they were able to learn more about the island.
When everyone came to the mourning hall, Junhui was already here. Uncle Maori looked at Benzo who was kneeling there, and whispered: "Mr. Men's Association didn't go back last night, right."
Jun Hui nodded and replied: "I heard that he had a night with tourists in the pub."
"What about Miss Naoko? I clearly saw her name on the roster." Uncle Maori looked around, but didn't find Naoko.
Xiao Lan and He Ye were about to go out to find Naoko. The two of them just opened the door, and suddenly a thunder in the sky remembered, the night sky was illuminated brightly, and it came and went fiercely.
But in such a moment, Xiaolan seemed to see some horrified picture and froze in place, and Ye Jian Xiaolan on the side thought Xiaolan was afraid of thunder and joked: "Xiaolan, you won't Afraid of thunder?"
Facing Heye's joke, Xiaolan did not make any response. She raised her finger to the direction outside the door: "There seems to be someone over there."
There was another thunder, and this time He Ye also saw the figure outside the door, but only for a moment, He Ye and Xiaolan could not see the figure's face clearly.
Heiji, who was attracted by the two people's movements, asked, "What's wrong?"
"It seems someone is there."
Guangyou who also stuck his head out, his eyes condensed slightly, the figure was sitting on the ground, his hands seeming to be hung on the Internet, and then he shook his head: "Tsk, another'dead mermaid'."
There were two more thunders in a row. This time everyone could see the face of the figure clearly. Naoko who disappeared did not know when he was hung on the Internet, the boss with his head down and his mouth open, and the two girls. She screamed very cooperatively.
People died again, and the guard could not go on. All the guests were watching in the aisle, and only the professional Maori who was present quickly borrowed the camera and went to take pictures of the scene.
Heiji and Conan were also observing the deceased's situation and searching for clues present. A row of footprints caught the attention of the two, and the gleaming thing beside the footprints was picked up and found to be fish scales.
Just as a few people were brainstorming, the policeman in charge of the island finally arrived at the scene, a small place in Fukui, and Uncle Maori was not so famous yet.
A police officer headed by seeing several people near the scene asked loudly, "Who are you? What are you doing?"
"We are investigating this case."
"This has nothing to do with you. This is the work of our Fukui County police." The lead police officer said slightly excitedly.
Seeing the reaction, Guangyou always felt that the police officer was alive and excited. At the same time, he felt a little bit funny that Uncle Maori's usual invincible face-brushing skills failed here.
Back in the corridor, after Xiao Lan and He Ye heard that the footprints disappeared when they reached the beach and there were fish scales next to the footprints, He Ye, who was brainwashed by the mermaid all day, covered his mouth and shouted: "This time the murderer will not be Mermaid!"
"How is it possible?" Heiji couldn't help but laugh. "How could a mermaid wear boots, not even shoes?"
Heiji explained: "The murderer may have just walked along the coastline and then came to this fishing net and then walked back along the coastline."
After asking about the situation, it was found that everyone said that they had never seen Naoko. Although the murderer could not be identified, what is known is that Naoko's dugong arrow was taken away.
Jun Hui squeezed her chin, and said with some worry: "Saori seems to be missing after the dugong arrow disappeared. Could she be..."
At this time, an aunt next to her interrupted and said, "Do you say Saori? I saw her appear near the Mermaid Falls yesterday morning."
After this aunt, an uncle also said that he had seen Saori appear in the forest near the waterfall from a distance.
What surprised Guangyou was Benzo's attitude. He was still drinking even when his daughter's life or death was unknown. He didn't know whether he was big-hearted or he didn't care about this daughter.
Facing the problem of Uncle Maori, Benzo said plainly: "I just hope that she will not become a mermaid like the dead girl."
Guangyou scratched his head, with some doubts in his mind: "What happened to the mermaid? What does it have to do with Naoko."
