Chapter 1712: Detective across the river? She must have guessed the truth almost...
"Okay, Lord Yunwen."
Listening to Shu Yunwen's words, Shimabukuro Kime nodded in agreement, and then asked: "...Then what's going on with Masae..."
"Well, give me your phone and I'll talk to her." Shu Yunwen stretched out his hand and asked Shimabukuro Kime for the phone, and at the same time ordered, "...you go contact the ship right now."
"Then let me go and have a look too." Jin Chengbingwu, who was next to him, interjected after hearing this. "If something unexpected happens, I can help contact other ships."
Hyougo Kaneshiro is the mayor of the island and the largest bourgeoisie in the local area, with a strong voice.
If there really is no ship, it is quite simple to temporarily call a ship or a magical horse.
"Okay, I'll trouble you then."
Shu Yunwen nodded, looked at Shimabukuro Kimie, and Kaneshiro Hyougo walked away, then picked up the phone and asked directly: "Miss Masae, what is the situation over there? How many are the monsters you mentioned, and what do they look like?
Looks like, did you rush to the island?"
"Huh? Yun, Master Yunwen?" On the beach of Ghost Turtle Island, the mermaid Yahui heard Shu Yunwen's voice. She flicked her beautiful fish tail lightly, splashing some waves, and looked around with her beautiful eyes.
The shrimp soldiers and crab generals who are gradually gathering and condensing more and more mist said:
"This...I don't know how to say it...there are sea monsters condensed like smoke, and there are more and more of them. Although they have been rushing towards Ghost Turtle Island, they seem to be restricted by something.
Yes, I have only washed up on the beach for the time being, not completely washed up yet..."
"Like smoke?"
Well, needless to say, it must be the Yin Qi emanating from the ghost realm, the simulated monster formed by the condensed ghost Qi!
And judging from the shapes of these monsters, they must have been caused by the collapse of the solidified ghost realm that looked like the Sea Dragon Palace...
Shu Yunwen was thinking in his heart, narrowed his eyes slightly and asked: "...How are you now? Are you in danger?"
"Well...no." Mermaid Yahui immediately replied, "...Although these monsters have some influence on me, maybe because I am a mermaid, the influence is not big for the time being...In addition, since the last time we said goodbye, I
It seems that he has awakened the ability to control water, and can send out water jets to crush that kind of monster..."
"That's it..." Listening to Yahui's words, Shu Yunwen's eyes lit up, "...That should be some of the innate abilities of your mermaid clan! But this is not bad. I will ask you to help me look at it next. If
If those pseudo-monsters might rush onto the island and hurt people, I'd like to trouble you to deal with it..."
After Shu Yunwen finished speaking, the mermaid Yahui let out an "Ah!" and said in shock: "What did you say? Me?"
"That's right, it's you!" Shu Yunwen nodded, "Since your innate ability is useful, you must use it. Otherwise, if those simulated monsters wash up on the shore, no one except Conan will survive..."
"...Of course, if you think it will be dangerous, then just take care of yourself!"
Shu Yunwen thought of a certain little shota with a unique spirit, and after thinking for a while, he said: "By the way, if it works, you can find a way to contact Detective Yueshui and tell her about the situation on the island, so that she can also
Be careful..."
"Detective across the water?"
Hearing this name, the mermaid Yahui was slightly startled: "...But, my current appearance..."
"There's no need to hide it from her - she knows a lot, and she's probably already guessed the truth..."
Shu Yunwen explained casually, and at this moment, Shimabukuro Kime walked in quickly and said breathlessly: "Master Yunwen, the boat is ready and can set off at any time!"
Shu Yunwen said "hmm", and then continued to say to the mobile phone: "...That's it. You wait for us at Ghost Turtle Island, we will rush there right now!"
…
8:45 pm, Ghost Turtle Island.
On the second floor of the wooden villa, with the sound of "thump thump thump" footsteps, Conan, Hattori Heiji, and Koshimizu Nanatsuki rushed to the second floor together, and then they saw Kume Yoshitsugi sitting in front of a certain door.
, was raising a finger with a horrified look on his face, pointing at the room in front of him.
Seeing this scene, Conan and the others were stunned, then quickly walked up to Kume Yoshitsugi, and then Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked with concern: "Mr. Kume, was it you who was calling just now? What happened?
?Have you found the murderer?"
After Koshizui Nanatsuki finished speaking, Daito Mikihiko's voice immediately came from the open room: "...There is no murderer here. Just now, the young man saw the painting hanging behind the curtains in the room.
Finally, as if he had seen a ghost, he escaped from the room and collapsed there..."
Listening to Mikihiko Daito's words, Conan and the others looked inside the door together, and then saw the painting hanging on the wall——
It was a watercolor painting with a slightly gloomy color. The painting showed a long-haired girl wearing blue clothes. The girl's head was lowered, her eyes were distracted, and her expression seemed a bit gloomy.
Everyone looked at the painting on the wall carefully. After a few seconds, Xiaolan said "ah": "The model in this painting seems to be the daughter of Mayor Jincheng, Miss Xiaodu!"
"Yes! This person and that photo really look like..." Kazuye immediately nodded in agreement with "hmm".
Next to him, Masao Taketomi suddenly said: "...I think this painting was painted by the mayor's wife, right? I have heard Yoshiko say before that her painting skills are very good and can be compared with professional painters.
Already..."
After Masao Taketomi finished speaking, Noburo Ikema suddenly asked: "Yoshiko? Who is Yoshiko?"
"Jia Zi is my cousin. She used to work as a maid in the mayor's house..."
Taketomi Masao answered immediately, and then Noburo Ikema said "Oh": "The maid before the mayor's family was actually your cousin? So, there are people in this room who are related to the mayor's family.
, there are only four?”
"Huh? You said there are four people here who are related to the mayor's family?"
After listening to Noburo Ikema's words, Conan, Heiji Hattori and others all brightened up, while Noburo Ikema nodded and said: "Yes, there are four of them. To tell you the truth, my mother is the mayor's wife.
My cousin, Director Taketomi and the maid are cousins, Kume and Miss Koto have been classmates since elementary school, and Mr. Daito and the mayor’s wife are childhood sweethearts..."
"oh?"
Conan, Hattori Heiji and the others were stunned for a moment, then their eyes swept over Noburo Ikema and the other four, and asked curiously: "Mr. Ikema, how do you know that Mr. Daito and the mayor's wife are childhood sweethearts?"
"Well..." Noburo Ikema smiled slightly, "...that's because we have met before!"
