Traveling through Conan: Buying Poirot Cafe at the beginning

As the numbers appeared, people with number plates on the scene began to confirm the numbers they had obtained.

In the crowd, Shou Mei shouted happily:

"Okay! I won!"

Naoko, who was standing behind the crowd, frowned and looked at her number plate, wondering what she was thinking.

Xiaolan looked at the number in her hand with disappointment. She was taken care of by the goddess of luck, but she didn't win at this moment.

"Xiaolan, look at the number in my hand, I seem to have won!"

Xiaolan looked at the number in He Ye's hand, then looked up at the one on the wall, and she really got it.

Two men in white kimonos held fire extinguishers and put out the flames on the wall.

Fire extinguishers put out fires. This was the first time Yang Ming saw such a scientific scene.

At this time Jun Hui came on the stage and said to everyone:

"Everyone, please listen carefully. We will officially award the Dugong Sword in an hour. Please gather in front of the Mermaid Falls."

The crowd moved, and Yang Ming and others were no exception. In order to occupy a good position, Kazuye even pulled Hattori and ran ahead.

There were several fires in front of the waterfall. Jun Hui stood in front of the fires and faced the people present.

Yang Ming raised his eyebrows slightly. If his memory was correct, a murder would have occurred here!

"Hey, do you feel anything is wrong?"

"Something's wrong? What's wrong with that? Isn't this good?" Kogoro put his hands in his pockets and looked at the celebration crowd casually.

Hattori and Conan covered their chins with one hand. Conan asked, "Did brother Yang Ming notice anything strange?"

Yang Ming smiled mysteriously and said to the three of them: "What, you didn't notice it? It's so obvious."

When Yang Ming said this, he stopped talking. Hattori wanted to step forward to ask, but he heard Jun Hui speak in front of the fire.

"Now please invite three lucky guests to come to the front."

He Ye responded excitedly, crossing the cordon and coming to Jun Hui.

Also coming with her were Naoko and an alcoholic.

Hattori looked at the drunkard in confusion and thought to himself, shouldn't it be Sumi who got the winning number plate?

Conan was also looking around, looking for Shou Mei.

"Now please three of you accept the light of bliss!"

Two workers started lighting firecrackers behind the fire, and the light from the firecrackers lit up the sky.

Yang Ming raised his head, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said to Kogoro and others: "Open your eyes wide and take a good look. You should have discovered something by now."

Kogoro and the other three frowned and looked hard at the sky. Suddenly Conan pointed to the waterfall behind and said in horror:

"What do you think that is?"

Several people looked in the direction of Conan's finger, and saw a mermaid-shaped person in the waterfall, as if he was going upstream.

This is a woman with long shawl hair, and her figure is still swaying from side to side.

This person is the missing Sumi!

Everyone looked at Yang Ming in surprise, wondering if you had discovered it a long time ago.

Yang Ming put his hands in his pockets and remained silent. Who doesn't want others to look at him with admiration?

Kogoro and others took the back path and climbed to the top of the waterfall, pulling the rope to slowly pull the body up.

Heye said in surprise: "It's Miss Shoumei. Was he killed and dumped here?"

Lu Lang also came up with him. He looked at the rope and wooden stakes that tied Shou Mei.

He picked up a wooden stake and explained to everyone: "This is a fixed rope on the river bank. The wooden stake is set up to prevent people from falling into the waterfall."

Kogoro had an "I understand" expression on his face and analyzed the scene to everyone.

"I think Ms. Shoumei accidentally fell into the river because it was dark and she couldn't see the road. Although she grabbed the rope, the impact of the current was too strong and even the wooden stakes were washed away."

Hattori was also thinking, and interrupted Kogoro's reasoning without hesitation.

"Don't you think it's strange? The village celebration is obviously under the waterfall. Why does Miss Shoumei come here?"

At this time, Kimie and Naoko also followed, and happened to hear Hattori's question.

Naoko lowered her head and replied: "She probably came to find the fish-man's grave."

Jun Hui's expression changed drastically, but because it was dark, no one noticed.

Hattori heard the sound, looked back at Naoko who made the sound, and asked.

Naoko also raised her head and answered: "Because the mermaid's grave is in this forest. Three years ago, the shrine's warehouse caught fire, and the mermaid's bones were buried here."

Jun Hui slowed down and agreed: "It's possible for you to say so. Shou Mei has always been very concerned about this matter."

Yang Ming frowned and took a step forward: "I said you have been talking about mermaids and so on. Are you really sure that those are the bones of mermaids?"

Jun Hui hesitated for a moment and replied:

"It's hard to tell. The residents on the island said it was the skeleton of a mermaid, but the police from outside said it was the skeleton of a middle-aged woman."

Yang Ming caught the loophole in his words and laughed in his heart. I plan to talk about it later when no one is around.

"You are talking nonsense! All the bones below the waist of the corpse have disappeared. How can it be a human corpse?"

Kogoro was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. There were no bones below the waist. Could it be that he was really a mermaid?

Lu Lang added from the side:

"Because during the fire, a beam hit the waist of the body. When people removed the beam, they found that the body had no lower body bones at all."

Hattori exclaimed: "What did you say?"

Lu Lang shrugged and said indifferently: "That's why the TV station reported that the body of the mermaid appeared here."

Jun Hui sighed and began to tell what happened.

"It seems that the tourist wanted to go to the warehouse to steal the Dugong Sword that was not issued. Unexpectedly, a candle in the warehouse fell and caused a fire. Unfortunately, he lost his life."

Jun Hui's eyes were full of struggle, and he paused and continued:

"After a year of fruitless investigation, the shrine had no choice but to bury him. However, something happened not long after."

Naoko looked at the trees around her and took over Kimie's words.

"Because a group of tomb robbers appeared, and people suspected of being tourists tried to steal the mermaid's bones. Because the mermaid's bones are also the medicine for immortality."

Jun Hui nodded.

"That's why my grandmother asked someone to move the mermaid's grave to somewhere in this forest."

Yang Ming thought to himself: Tourists? Could it be Gin's group? Their boss wanted to live forever and almost wanted to die. After learning that there was a way to live forever, how could he remain indifferent?

Although Kogoro always makes mistakes in his reasoning, he is still very experienced in facing murder cases.

"Okay, no matter whether the deceased committed suicide or was an accident, we still have to move Miss Shoumei's body down the mountain first. We will wait until the police arrive at the scene to conduct questioning."

Hattori and others also nodded.
