Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 212 On How To Be Invincible
After arriving at the river above the waterfall, Jiang Xia and Hattori Heiji pulled the rope and pulled the body up to the river bank.

One end of the hemp rope was wrapped around the neck of the corpse, and the other end was connected to a wooden stake, which was firmly nailed to the river bank.

Jiang Xia put the body by the river, and Conan immediately approached.The three of them watched the rope around Nami Unabara's neck.

The hemp rope was wound several times and piled up in a mess. The knots were so messy that it was difficult to tell whether it was formed naturally or artificially.

But in any case, the place and time where Kaihara Nami fell was too coincidental.Moreover, although the current of this river is fast, it does not seem to be fast enough to rush people around so many times in a short period of time.

Therefore, Conan and Hattori Heiji still prefer that this is a murder.

Jiang Xia looked at the corpse on the ground, but didn't speak.After all, it was actually the mermaid that caused the accident.And the mermaid is not a human being, so the death caused indirectly by it can only be regarded as an accident...

Hattori Heiji wondered, "Since Miss Kaihara has won the arrow, why didn't she go to lead the arrow, instead she insisted on running into the woods at this time?"

A strange voice sounded from the side: "It's for the Mermaid Tomb."

Jiang Xia followed the prestige and saw a short-haired woman with a mushroom head. This person's name was Nao Heijiang, and she was the "lucky one" who had just drawn the arrow of the dugong.

He was also one of three people who set fire to the shrine's warehouse three years ago.

Heijiang Nao clenched the magic arrow in his hand: "Nami must have misunderstood the wind and grass as a reminder from the mermaid when she was waiting for the arrow to be released under the waterfall, so she broke into the mountain... She was too impatient, at least she could We should wait until we get the Dugong Arrow before acting."

The "mermaid tomb" in the story caught the attention of two detectives.

——They remembered that Menli Saori had mentioned this word on the boat that came here, but she didn't elaborate on it at that time.

……

Heijiang Nao didn't know that the person they burned to death in the warehouse three years ago was actually a human being.

Therefore, like the other two partners, she firmly believed that the charred bones found in the warehouse at that time were the flesh and blood of the mermaid.

When she was giving some outsiders popular science about the mermaid tomb with a pious face, Jiang Xia pretended to listen to the lecture while looking at the dugong arrow in Nao Heijiang's hand.

It's getting cold, the arrow should be broken.

……

It was getting late, and after observing the situation at the scene, several people returned to the bottom of the waterfall with the body.

Toyama Kazuha, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were frightened by the "mermaid" hanging on the waterfall just now, and did not follow the mountain.After regaining consciousness, the three of them immediately called the police and tried to help—they were already very skilled in doing this kind of thing.

However, there is no police station on Mermaid Island, and the wind and waves at sea happen to be very strong, so it will take a while for the police to arrive.

Jiang Xia handed over the moved corpse to the islanders, and went back to the hotel with a few classmates.

He was going back home to rest.However, when they entered the room, before the door was closed, several other people squeezed in naturally.

Jiang Xia: "?"

"Since the police can't arrive for the time being, we can only solve this matter first." Hattori Heiji pulled a stool and sat down, straightening his crooked baseball cap, "I always have a bad Premonition—this incident may not be over yet."

Jiang Xia: "...um."

Then your intuition is quite accurate...

Conan hugged the earmuffs and sat down beside him.

He feels that recently, Jiang Xia's speed of solving cases has become normal - although it is still a lot faster than other detectives, but at last it is no longer as scary as the scanning machine before, maybe it has reached a bottleneck... It is really hard to imagine Jiang Xia's breakthrough What it looks like after the bottleneck.

In this incident, Conan and Hattori Heiji had the same premonition, and the two quickly reached a consensus—in this special period, it is best to invite Jiang Xia, and the three of them will discuss it together, and solve the case as soon as possible, so as not to There are more victims.

As for why you need to hold earmuffs when discussing... When the two keywords "Jiangxia" and "solve the case" are put together, earmuffs can make Conan feel more secure and make his thinking smoother.

And Conan soon realized that he was not alone - he had just seen Hattori Heiji's hand move towards the earmuff pocket, but he quickly put it down again.

Hattori Heiji and Conan have similar mental journeys.

——On this island with intermittent signals, he couldn't play with his mobile phone, couldn't buy the latest mystery novels, and didn't even bring homework, so he had a lot of time to think about life.

So after thinking about it, Hattori Heiji suddenly discovered that for the time being, he couldn't crush Jiang Xia in reasoning, no matter how many times he tried, the result was the same.

In this case, it is better not to compare from the beginning, to solve the case with confidence and boldness, and to regard Jiang Xia as a reference book that is placed next to him and publishes the answers from time to time-as long as he does not take the initiative to establish a competitor for himself, no one can take him down.

Moreover, at a higher level, solving a case is not suitable for competition.

There is only one ultimate truth, that is to say, what matters is not who solves the case, but the training he gets in the process of solving the case...

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji resolutely removed his hand that kept leaning towards his pocket, trying to take out the earmuffs.

……

If the accident factor is excluded and Nami's death is regarded as a homicide, in addition to the investigation of the traces at the scene, it is undoubtedly an important point to find out why she ran to the mountain at that time.

At present, in this regard, the most obvious clues are the mermaid sacrifice and the "mermaid tomb" mentioned by Nao Heijiang.

Especially the tomb of the mermaid - about this matter, there are not many reports from the outside world, only the "mermaid bones in the warehouse" that Nao Heijiang said was found.

Even on Mermaid Island, there is not much information about it. Most of the islanders only know that there is such a tomb in the mountain, but they don’t know the exact location of the cemetery. It is said that only Mingyang and someone she trusts know where the tomb is hidden. .

Therefore, we can only inquire more about this matter on the island.

It's too late today, even if the islanders are disturbed to rest by knocking on the door, they may not provide useful clues, so it's best to go tomorrow.
