Chapter 213 Jumping off a cliff to decide the episode
A group of people divided up the work.
Hattori Heiji will go to Mingzhi tomorrow to inquire about the situation, while Maori Ran and the others will go to other islanders to inquire about Umihara Nami's interpersonal relationships - maybe they can find a suspect who has a grudge against the deceased.
As for Jiang Xia... By coincidence, he was assigned the task of "finding Kaori Saori for information."
In this incident, Kadori Saori was a very key figure - she once suggested that "the mermaid wants to kill her", and now, a murder has indeed occurred on the island, and the dead Nami Umihara has been tortured in various ways.
Associated with "mermaid".
Although there was no strong evidence to prove that the two incidents were connected, several detectives intuitively felt that Kadori Saori might have some clues that they did not know.
Because Hattori Heiji was too outspoken in the past, his first conversation with Kadori Saori was not pleasant. When they were on the boat, anyone with a discerning eye could see Kadori Saori's dislike of Hattori Heiji, so Hattori Heiji is also very self-aware.
Plan to find her.
This "important clue" was handed over to Jiang Xia, who was very reliable in solving crimes.
And when they were on the boat, others discovered it - Kadori Saori looked at Jiang Xia several times with a hint of surprise, and seemed very happy to meet him.
Although this is a bit suspected of tricking his companions into betraying their lust, in order to get clues... I can't worry about that much for the time being.
Jiangxia did not refuse this arrangement.
On the one hand, there is no suitable excuse. On the other hand, this task is easy to accomplish - Kadori Saori is not on the island at the moment. He only needs to ask Kadori Saori's alcoholic father and then go to the neighbor's place.
, you can hang up freely after getting the clue that "Kadori Saori often runs away from home".
…
Kuroe Nao returned home, carefully took out the arrow she had just drawn at the Mermaid Festival, and placed it on the bedside closest to herself.
She remembered that Kadori Saori had lost her dugong arrow a few days ago. This little boy could do anything when life and death were at stake - Kuroe Nao was really afraid that if she let the arrow go too far, Kadori would be killed.
Shazhi sneaks along.
At this time, she also got the Dugong Arrow, and she felt more deeply the panic that Menri Shaori felt when she lost the arrow.
The next day, Kuroe Nao dreamed of another boy who died tragically on the waterfall.
She woke up from the nightmare, panicked for a while, and then felt a little lucky - fortunately, she didn't run around just because she had drawn the dugong arrow, but waited until she got the arrow before she started thinking about the mermaid tomb.
Kuroe Nao reached for the pillow and happily picked up the dugong arrow she drew last night: With the dugong arrow in hand, she will be able to find it smoothly...
The arrow was a little light when it was held in front of my eyes.
Kuroe Nao took a closer look and saw that the arrow was half cut off, causing her heart to almost stop.
...when did it break?!!
She jumped up from the bed. When she got it before, it was clearly a whole piece...
Although the mermaid has not said what kind of punishment will be received for damaging the dugong arrow, but just losing the arrow will result in disaster...
Kuroe Nao suddenly lost her calm look. She took out her cell phone in a panic and called Shimabukuro Kimie.
However, after she finished describing the situation, she only received a hesitant reply from the witch: "I personally took the arrow from my grandmother's hand. There is no problem. Did you accidentally crush it while you were sleeping..."
Kuroe Nao now has no time to find out the reason why the dugong arrow broke. She just wants to find a remedy as soon as possible.
However, Shimabukuro Kimie reluctantly stated that the festival was over and he could not give her new dugong arrows.
After being hung up on, Nao Kuroe was completely devastated.
At this moment, her phone vibrated.
Kuroe Nao numbly picked up her phone and saw an additional text message on it, and the sender was "Saori".
After clicking it, a few lines of words are displayed on the phone screen:
[I found it!
Mermaid’s Tomb!!]
…
Jiang Xia drove the puppet of the foggy dog and wandered on the deserted sea.
He finished sending the message using the mobile phone he had picked up before, then threw the phone into the sea and watched it disappear like its owner.
Afterwards, Jiang Xia dispersed the puppets and his consciousness returned to its original form.
At this time, the main body is next to Kaori Kaori's house.
Just now, Jiang Xia had met Monori Saori's father. Monori's father was drunk and didn't care about his daughter's whereabouts - he had taken Monori Saori's arrows and sold them to tourists who came here, earning a lot of money.
1 million.
At this time, he found out that Kadori Saori had not returned home at night, and he only felt that his own use of the arrow had been exposed.
It was not easy to publicize a family scandal, so Menli's father simply refused to let Jiang Xia enter the house, blocking the door and sending him away.
This saves a lot of things.
Jiang Xia looked at the door that was photographed, and happily wrote down the clues related to Menri's father, and planned to go to the neighbor's house next door to check in.
After that, he can enter free activity mode.
…
At the same time, Hattori Heiji was already on his way to the back mountain, and Toyama and Ye followed him.
Just now they went to find Mingxian, but they also received no answer - Mingxian knew about the Mermaid Tomb, but refused to tell its location, and warned the two young people not to pursue the idea of the Mermaid Tomb.
She tremblingly said that those who coveted the mermaid cemetery were cursed.
Hattori Heiji didn't care about such superstitious remarks, but Toyama Kazuha was very concerned about it.
…
After coming out of the shrine, the two of them happened to see a figure rushing towards the back hill from a distance. They were startled and immediately followed it.
There are lush trees in the mountains, and as soon as you enter the mountains, the visual range suddenly drops.
Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha couldn't find the person who went up the mountain first, so they shouted twice more, but no one answered, so they had to follow their impressions and chase after him.
Unexpectedly, after chasing for a while, I still couldn't find anyone. Instead, I saw a simple grave.
The diameter of this tomb is less than half a meter. There is a cluster of fresh incense ash next to it, and a round tombstone rests on the top.
Hattori Heiji was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he could find the mermaid tomb so easily that the islanders couldn't find.
He looked at the round tombstone on the ground, and while thinking, he touched it.
Yuan Shan and Ye had listened to a lot of monster legends related to mermaids in the past few days. When they saw the tomb, they felt scared and looked around cautiously.
As soon as she saw a sign with the words "Danger! There is a cliff ahead" placed at her feet, she heard a crunching sound.
Toyama and Ye turned their heads in confusion and saw Hattori Heiji accidentally pushing away the tombstone. At this time, he was running after the stone with a guilty conscience.
And the area in front of him that was covered by weeds was a steep cliff.
…
Jiang Xia had just lit a stick of ghost mint on the back hill when he suddenly heard a scream.
The sound was far away and sounded a bit fuzzy, but it still sounded slightly familiar, a bit like distant mountains and leaves.
