Chapter 452 Another Kind of Bad Luck...

With Qin Zhibo's "generous donation", Mao Lilan and Yuan Shanheye both had lottery number plates.

Hattori Heiji also asked about business at this time, about the disappearance of Monkyo Saori.

Shimabukuro-kun Kei knew everything, and told him a few days ago that Saori Monkyo was uneasy because he lost the "Dugong Arrow" that he had won last year, and was worried about being retaliated by the mermaid.

"I reassured her that nothing bad would happen. Four days ago, I asked her to accompany me to see a dentist outside the island, and I didn't see anything abnormal."

At this time, a voice came from the crowd.

"You are so stupid."

"You say that because you don't believe in your great-grandmother's power, Jun Hui."

The person who came was a snake-faced woman with waist-length hair. When Qin Zhibo saw her age, she was also 27 years old, similar to Shimabukuro Kime. Her name was Ebihara Hisumi.

"Kotobuki." Shimabukuro Kimie was obviously a little surprised by this woman's arrival.

Ebina Shoumei held the snake spirit by its chin and said with great interest: "She really has magic power, and she has indeed eaten mermaid meat before."

"You also know about that incident, the time when the mermaid corpse appeared three years ago..."

Hearing the key word "mermaid corpse", everyone's expressions froze, and Qin Zhibo's eyes also became more serious.

"Can you tell me more about this matter?" Qin Zhibo stepped forward and asked.

Just when Ebina Sumi opened her eyes with a fake expression and was about to tell, a man from behind came over and pressed his dark palm on Ebina's shoulder.

"That's almost it, Shou Mei."

"Lu Lang."

The man looked a little dissatisfied and raised his head to tell everyone, "If you are looking for Saori, you should go to Saori's house to understand the situation, but only if Saori's drunk father is willing to welcome you."

After saying that, the man named Fukuyama Rokuro left with his hands in his pockets, followed closely by Ebina Hisumi.

Qin Zhibo noticed the man's age. He was exactly 28 years old, similar to the age of several NPCs he met along the way.

In addition, these people all call each other by their first names, so it seems likely that they are young tame dyes.

In this case, Qin Zhibo thought about it for a while, and Naoko Kuroe, the Jarhead, had promised himself to discuss it in detail at the evening celebration.

Then you can find out what the mermaid incident three years ago was.

Mouri Kogoro and others made an appointment with Shimabukuro Kimie to help lead the way to Monkyo Saori's house after the celebration.

Night falls quickly, and tourists and islanders on the island rush to Shimabukuro Shrine.

As soon as Qin Zhibo arrived at the entrance of the shrine, he saw the light of the investigation point flashing on the wooden sliding door of the shrine entrance.

"This is."

Qin Zhibo moved to the front of the crowd, barely within an investigative distance.

【Topographic Survey√】

[Special shapes are painted with gasoline on fireproof asbestos paper, namely "three", "one hundred and seven", and "one hundred and eight"]

Qin Zhibo: "?"

Looking at the survey instructions, Qin Zhibo felt that he had probably guessed tonight's winning number.

Quickly returning to Mao Lilan and Yuanshan Heye, Qin Zhibo subconsciously looked at Mao Lilan's number. It turned out that it was not "Shiba", but "Si Shiyi".

But Qin Zhibo clearly remembered that he had seen this "Shiba" number plate, so he quickly looked at the cards in Yuan Shan and Ye's hands.

It is indeed "Shiba".

It turned out to be his 35 lucky points that were drawn!

Qin Zhibo felt a little incredible, but now that the number plate had been given to Yuan Shan and Ye, it was impossible for him to get it back.

I finally won a prize but gave the opportunity to someone else. To a certain extent, this is also a kind of bad luck.

Now, Qin Zhibo could only stand next to Yuan Shan and Ye, and said a faint congratulations.

"congratulation."

Toyama Kazuha, who was confused: "?"

Before the gasoline completely evaporated, the wooden sliding door slowly opened to both sides, revealing a short old lady with heavy makeup sitting on the futon.

Seeing this image of the old woman, two of the four detectives invariably felt disappointed and complained secretly in their hearts.

Mouri Kogoro: This is so small.

Hattori Heiji: Isn’t this just an old woman wearing heavy makeup?

Qin Zhibo thinks it's nothing. It's normal for people to shrink as they age. It's not like a certain person who shrinks before he reaches his age.

Thinking in his mind, Qin Zhibo glanced at Conan standing in front of him.

Turning his eyes back to Changshou Po, she had already taken the long fire stick in her hand and lit the paper window on the wooden sliding door.

The tongues of fire burned in a specific trajectory on the asbestos paper of the three paper windows, leaving behind three flame characters that shone brightly in the dim environment.

Sure enough, it was "three", "one hundred and seven", and "ten and eight". There was no surprise at all for Qin Zhibo.

But for the people holding these three number plates, it's different.

"No way! Oh my God! I really got hit!"

Qin Zhibo followed the sound and saw that the person who said he had won the lottery was Ebina Shoumei whom he met during the day.

The second winner did not make any announcement here, and Qin Zhibo did not know who he was.

The third winner was Toyama Kazuha, who finally reacted in disbelief.

"X-Xiaolan, I'm hit!"

"Heiji! I really hit it!"

Toyama Kazuki's face was full of surprise, while Conan and Hattori Heiji standing next to him were full of shock.

That guy Qin Zhibo congratulated He Ye in advance, but she really won!

How did he see it in advance!

Before the two could answer each other's questions, Shimabukuro Kimie in the courtyard announced that the "Dugong Arrow" would be officially awarded in an hour, and everyone would first move to the Mermaid Falls on the island.

On the way to Mermaid Falls, Hattori Heiji and Conan made numerous assumptions about why Qin Zhibo knew the answer in advance, including reasoning hypotheses, investigating in advance to obtain inside information, and making random guesses.

But just when the two were about to send representative Hattori Heiji to ask what was going on, they discovered that Qin Zhibo did not go with them.

At this time, Qin Zhibo was heading towards the waterfall side by side with Kuroe Naoko, whom he met at the souvenir shop during the day.

"You're talking about the mermaid incident three years ago."

"In fact, it was a sensation at the time. There was a fire in the warehouse of Shimabukuro Shrine. After the fire was put out, the body of the mermaid was found under a collapsed beam."

Qin Zhibo frowned slightly, "Mermaid corpse?"

"Yes," Kuroe Naoko nodded firmly, "That is indeed the body of the mermaid, because if the beam was smashed down from the middle, the foot bones would normally be preserved, but even the foot bones of that corpse were smashed to pieces."

"What can it be if it's not a mermaid?"

"And it is said that the mermaid is buried there now."

As he spoke, Kuroe Naoko raised her hand and pointed to the dark forest above the Mermaid Falls.

But Qin Zhibo did not look at the deep forest, but instinctively focused his eyes on the only luminous point in the middle of the waterfall.

That's the light of the investigation point!
