Conan, My Neighbor Kurosawa Jin

It was getting dark. Seeing that it was getting late, Mouri Kogoro and the others packed up and went to Miss Sumi's vigil hall. They came relatively early and there were relatively few people in the room.

There was only one man sitting there, looking drunk.

"That's Miss Saori's father." Seeing them looking at the man sitting on the mat, Shimabukuro Kime took the initiative to introduce him.

"I finally met someone, but it's hard to get over it now. It looks like I have to ask again tomorrow." Mouri Kogoro looked at Mr. Monkyo who was sitting not far away and couldn't help complaining.

They searched again and again, but it turned out that there was no one there or they were drunk and fell asleep. This was the first time they saw him awake.

"Why haven't you seen Miss Naoko? Has she not come yet?" Hattori Heiji and the others looked around. Logically speaking, Miss Shoumei and the others have such a good relationship. Naoko should be keeping vigil for Miss Shoumei now. Why haven't you seen anyone yet?

"She should have arrived. I saw Miss Naoko's name on the booklet when I registered." Mouri Kogoro also looked around. He did indeed see Miss Naoko when he registered before. Name, logically they should have arrived.

"Maybe it's somewhere else, it's so big here."

"Maybe!"

Not long after they finished speaking, they heard Xiaolan's screams. Mouri Kogoro, Hattori Heiji and the others immediately stood up and ran towards the place where the sound came from.

In the backyard, Mao Lilan, Yuan Shan and Ye hugged each other and looked at the body not far away in horror. Under the thunder and lightning, the tied body was looming, which looked very scary.

When Imaguchi arrived at the place where she kept vigil for Miss Sumi, she found that there were many people around. Originally, Imaguchi didn't pay much attention to it. After all, people on the island had various relationships, so it was normal for there to be more people.

But just when he wanted to go in, he was blocked outside. Imago looked at the policeman in front of him in confusion.

It suddenly occurred to me that this should be the police who didn't come because the sea was too rough when Xiaolan called the police yesterday. I didn't expect that they came so late today.

"Hello, I'm here to keep vigil for Miss Sumi. Can you let me in?" After Imaguchi understood the situation, he explained his purpose.

"Sorry, someone is dead inside, so no one can come in or out at will now." The policeman shook his head and stood there seriously.

"?" Imaguchi didn't understand what he meant for a moment. He knew that Miss Shoumei was dead, so wasn't he about to attend Miss Shoumei's vigil now?

Imaguchi wanted to ask more questions, but the other party refused to speak anymore and just stopped him from entering.

Jinguchi couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and call Xiaolan. After a while, Mao Lilan, Yuan Shan and Ye came out supporting each other.

"Xiaolan, Heye, what's wrong with you?" Imagochi suddenly had a bad feeling when he saw their posture.

"Miss Naoko is dead." Kazuya's voice was trembling, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

"What, Miss Naoko is dead too?" Imaguchi frowned slightly. Miss Sumi just died yesterday. Today, the body has not been buried yet, and the murderer has not been found out! Another person died unexpectedly. Counting Miss Saori who disappeared before, this is already the third one!

"Well, when it got dark, we came to keep watch. Kazuye and I walked around, but we saw someone in the yard, so we went over to take a look. When there was thunder, we saw that Miss Naoko was dead and her body was tied up. On top of the fishing net." Mao Lilan explained what happened, with a hint of uneasiness in her tone.

"Later, Hattori and the others went to look and found that there were many fish scales around Miss Naoko's body, and the footprints left by the murderer eventually led to the sea. It couldn't really be a mermaid!" Toyama and Ye hugged each other tightly. Holding Mao Lilan's arm, there was fear in his expression.

"Don't be afraid. Didn't Miss Jun Hui tell you everything? There are no mermaids in the world. And mermaids only have tails. There are no footprints anywhere. This should be the murderer's attempt to mislead everyone.

The granddaughter of Changshou Po said that there are no mermaids anymore, so of course there won’t be any. "Imikou patted their backs heartily and comforted them.

"But before, Miss Naoko and the others said that there was a mermaid tomb here." Mao Lilan and the others were a little hesitant, remembering the mermaid tomb that Naoko had said before. The cause of Miss Sumi's death was also related to the mermaid tomb. Could it really be? Revenge of the mermaid!

"If the mermaid tomb is real, it has probably been taken away by the country for study. How could it still be here? And no matter whether the mermaid is real or not, the mermaid is a fish with a fish tail, and it is impossible to run to the shore. Those who kill people will be short of water after all, right?" Imaguchi doesn't know if there are mermaids in the world, but the mermaids here are fake, which has been verified more than 20 years ago.

Entering the vigil hall, Imaguchi and the three of them had just stood still when they were separately called away by the police for questioning.

Especially Kazuha, who drew the Dugong Arrow among the three, she was the one receiving the most attention. After all, the mark of the Dugong Arrow was found at the crime scene. Anyone who draws the Dugong Arrow this year is highly suspect.

Although Imaguchi was not at the crime scene when the crime occurred, he was questioned in detail by the police because he was unable to provide his alibi. Fortunately, there is still a lot of surveillance on the island. The police saw Imaguchi's heart during a period of surveillance, which proved his innocence.

Sitting at the table, Imagochi listened quietly to Hattori Heiji and the others talking about the clues they had just discovered and their speculations about the case.

They agreed that both cases were related to the Dugong Arrow, and the murderer probably killed people because of the legend of the Dugong Arrow and the Mermaid.

Imaguchi listened and shook his head in his mind. Wrong. Dugong arrows are just ordinary things and there is nothing special about them. Everyone on the island should know this.
