Chapter 2167 Sell a Wave First (This Cat Curled up in a Ball Is Evolving)

It was not until the evening of the next day that the police arrived on the island. However, the results of the autopsy also puzzled them. Like Conan and others, the coroner couldn't figure out what the cause of death was. According to common sense, whether these three people accidentally fell into the water and smashed their heads or were stoned to death, their entire heads should have been smashed.

It can be said that it is unheard of for such a situation where the surface looks intact but the inner bones are completely broken. Of course, according to the coroner, it is not impossible to leave similar trauma if it was caught in the water and hit something like a reef, but it is difficult to determine whether it was caused by humans. After all, according to common sense, it is basically impossible to kill three people in this way, and the cause of death is almost the same.

So that's why martial arts can't appear in mystery novels, but Fangzheng said he was doing my shit...

The only catch is that the three of them died five days ago, that is to say, the day when Hattori Heiji received a letter and called Saori Kadowaki, but Saori Kadowaki did not answer the phone at that time, which shows that she He was killed by then.

So everyone reasoned and reasoned, and it turned out that Kogoro's accidental theory was the most convincing...

This also caused Hattori Heiji and Conan to have black faces when they returned to the room.

"Yo, what's the catch?"

Looking at the two, Fangzheng asked with a smile, while the two sighed helplessly and sat down.

"No, we have asked the people on the island, and most of them think that these three people died in an accident."

"Some people also said that it was caused by a mermaid...

"However, we can be sure that the three people who died believed in the existence of mermaids and the power of Longevity Woman."

Speaking of this, Hattori Heiji also frowned.

"However, I find it strange. After all, she obviously sent me that letter, and then died like this suddenly. There must be something strange about it."

"Then I have an idea, do you want to listen to it?"

Fangzheng took a sip of tea silently, then looked at the crowd.

"Hey? Brother Fangzheng's reasoning? I want to hear it!"

Hearing this, Conan immediately cheered up, and Xiaolan also looked over curiously. After all, they had a lot of contact with Fangzheng, and they knew that Fangzheng rarely engages in reasoning on weekdays. And now he actually has an idea, which is really surprising.

"It's not reasoning, it's just an idea."

Fangzheng put down the teacup in his hand, and looked at the people in front of him with a smile.

"It's very simple. Look... the people on this mermaid island are convinced of the existence of mermaids, so will they do something to protect this secret? Didn't Miss Witch also say that once the arrow is taken away Will losing bring disaster? So can you think of it this way? Ms. Kadowaki Saori lost the dugong arrow, which violated the taboo on the island. Her two friends tried to protect her from here, but they were caught by this place. The residents found out, and then, they used ancient and cruel methods to kill three ignorant people who violated taboos, and sank their bodies somewhere on the island..."

Having said this, Fangzheng's voice became much deeper.

"As for why Miss Miko didn't go with them, the reason is also very simple, because in fact she commanded those villagers and killed the three people who violated the taboo..."

"Woo..."

Hearing this, Xiaolan and Kazuha hugged each other tightly, while Hattori Heiji and Conan also gasped. Indeed, if all the villagers on this island were criminals, it would make sense that they couldn't find any clues.

but………

"Do you have proof?"

"No."

Fangzheng picked up the teacup again.

"It's just a story I made up after all."

"…………………Aha?"

"I'm planning to write a book based on this incident. The content of the story is that a murder occurred on a small island isolated from the world, and then the protagonist went to investigate, and then the protagonist finally found out that the witch on the island was the mastermind , and all the villagers on the island are all criminals, the reason why they killed the victims is because they discovered the biggest secret of the island—in fact, all the residents on this island are not human beings, but mermaids... What do you think of this story?"

"Story......"

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji and Conan Qiqi rolled their eyes, while Xiaolan and Kazuha nodded as if they were attracted.

"Sounds like a lot of fun, Xiao Lan."

"Yes, Mr. Fangzheng, do you really want to write a book?"

"I will write something when I am bored in my spare time."

"Aha……………"

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji stretched boredly.

"Really, there is still no clue in the end."

"After all, it is an artistic creation. How can there be such a coincidence in the real world? Like this mermaid legend, if the person who gets the arrow can really live forever, then this island must have been destroyed by those big chaebols and high-ranking officials. It’s been rounded up, and it’s not our turn to come here. Besides, people nowadays have to undergo physical examinations and blood type tests, if the people on this island are really mermaid incarnations, I’m afraid they would have been sliced ​​up long ago.”

Fangzheng shrugged.

"At the end of the day, stories are made up for convenience, not facts."

Having said this, Fangzheng looked at Conan and Hattori Heiji.

"Speaking of which, haven't you checked the homes of the three of them? Did you find any clues?"

"No leads."

Facing Fangzheng's question, Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at each other, then shook their heads helplessly.

"We found the bag that Kadowaki Saori usually carried when she ran away from home at the home of Miss Kadowaki, and we also inquired about the dead Saori Kadowaki, Naoko Kuroe, Sumi Ebihara, Miss Kimie Shimabukuro, and Fukuyama Mr. Rokuro belonged to the same club at the university, and Mr. Fukuyama Rokuro and Ms. Ebihara Tomi were married couples, but that was decided by their parents. In fact, Mr. Fukuyama Rokuro liked Miss Shimabukuro."

"Could it be that person named Rokuro Fukuyama killed Miss Saori Kadowaki?"

Hearing this, He Ye asked curiously.

"It's not impossible. After all, Mr. Fukuyama Rokuro is a fisherman and has great strength. But we can't find any doubts. He also confessed that he once confessed to Miss Shimabukuro, but was rejected by the latter. .”

Hattori Heiji was also depressed.

"And on the day the three disappeared, Fukuyama Rokuro stayed at his home the whole time, with a clear alibi, and he didn't look like someone who would kill someone for such a thing."

"We also investigated Kadowaki Saori's father. The arrow in Kadowaki Saori's hand was not lost, but was taken by her father and sold to tourists from other places. Her father confessed to this To be honest, he also said that it doesn't matter if his daughter's things are sold by himself..."

"Then he is also suspected of committing the crime?"

"Although I said so, in fact, he spent the past few days in the tavern. Of course, if it is said that after the festival, Kadowaki Saori drew the arrow of the dugong again, it is reasonable to kill people to snatch the arrow of the dugong. , but Saori Kadowaki and the other three died before the festival, and judging by her father's appearance, it seemed that it didn't matter whether others would know about it. It didn't seem like killing people to keep it secret..."

That's the limit of being a detective.

Looking at Hattori Heiji and Conan who were holding their heads in distress, Fang Zheng chuckled and poured himself another cup of tea. For detectives, solving a case generally involves answering three questions.

Who killed it?

How to kill people?

Why kill?

These three rings are generally interlocking, but in Fangzheng's case, these three problems are basically unsolvable. At least for them.

Fangzheng and the victim were strangers and had never met before. His method of killing was out of the ordinary, and it was impossible to be discovered—let alone Iron Sand Palm. He was still dazed in front of him.

As for Fangzheng's motivation is to increase his death energy and his own BOSS traits, Conan naturally couldn't think of such an unconventional reason, which meant that Conan couldn't solve any of the three problems. So Fangzheng didn't need to do anything at all, all he had to do was watch them perform quietly.

As for the result of the performance... Fangzheng already has some ideas.

"Brother Fangzheng, do you really have no idea?"

At this moment, Conan also had to ask Fang Zheng for advice. Logically speaking, they were not willing to get a standard answer from Fang Zheng, which would make them feel very unfulfilling, but in this situation, they decided to break it first. Let's talk about the case.

"There is an idea, but it probably has nothing to do with the murder case."

Fangzheng took a sip of tea.

"Actually, I once heard such an interesting sentence from a local resident...'Fortunately, Junhui didn't have an accident, otherwise next year's festival might not be able to be held'."

Having said this, the corners of Fangzheng's mouth slightly raised and he looked at the two of them.

"Interesting, isn't it?"

“……………………?”

Facing Fangzheng's words, Xiaolan and Heye looked at each other with puzzled expressions. Hattori Heiji and Conan frowned, and began to think about the meaning of this sentence. Then, Conan's expression changed suddenly.

"Wait, could it be...!"

"I see!"

At this time, Hattori Heiji also clapped his hands vigorously, showing an excited expression.

"Hey? What? What do you understand?"

Looking at the excited expressions of Hattori Heiji and Conan, the two girls were at a loss. However, the two did not answer, but looked at each other excitedly.

"let's go!"

"Yes, it must be so!"

After saying this, the two left excitedly, leaving only Xiaolan and Heye looking at each other with bewildered faces.

If you have a case, you don’t want girls. How do you keep yourself from being single?

Fangzheng glanced at the figures of the two, then silently withdrew his gaze.

"Mr. Fangzheng, what did you tell Heiji and the others just now?"

"Let's wait for them to come back and tell you."

Hearing He Ye's question, Fang Zheng chuckled.

"If I spoil it, wouldn't it be boring?"

"........."

Not this question okay.

"Idle is also idle."

As Fangzheng spoke, he took out a deck of playing cards.

"How about playing cards, whoever loses can take off a piece of clothing?"

"Hey-----!?"

At this moment, Hattori Heiji and Conan had no idea that someone was digging their corner with an excavator. On the contrary, they were still immersed in the joy of discovering new clues.

"Hatori, do you remember?"

"Well, I remember it very clearly."

Hearing Conan's question, Hattori nodded.

"During the ceremony yesterday, Longevity Lady appeared, but Miss Jun Hui did not appear!"

"And when Miss Jun Hui appeared, Longevity Po disappeared!"

"Although when we were looking for the longevity woman last night, Miss Jun Hui came to ask her to take a bath."

"But we didn't see Miss Junhui, we only heard her voice!"

Having said this, the two became more and more excited.

"So there is only one truth, and that is that the long-lived lady was pretended by Miss Junhui Shimabukuro!"

Conan clapped his hands suddenly, and Hattori nodded excitedly.

"We also know that the three people who died were very superstitious about the longevity woman. They really believed in the existence of the longevity woman. So they must have discovered the secret of Miss Junhui pretending to be the longevity woman, and then the two sides had a dispute, so Jun Miss Hui killed them!"

"But the problem is... Miss Jun Hui is a weak woman, how can she kill the other three people?"

Conan thought again.

"Maybe you lured them out separately? Then killed them one by one?"

"But...how did Miss Junhui pretend to be a long-lived woman?"

"That's not a problem."

Hearing Hattori Heiji's question, Conan also had an idea.

"I think the residents here should be able to give us the answer."
