Hattori Heiji yawned, feeling a little bored, and Conan was about the same.
But on this island, apart from the Mermaid Festival, there is no entertainment. Now they are all here. Although they failed to draw the Dugong Arrow, the ceremony for issuing the Dugong Arrow is said to be very lively and will also set off fireworks. How about
Go over and take a look.
Of course Jiang Xia agreed to this proposal.
The ceremony to award the dugong arrows will only start in one hour, so there is no need to rush to get there.
So they went to have dinner together first.
While killing time in the hotel, Jiang Xia condensed the puppet of Kiritengu in a nearby hiding place.
Then he possessed his consciousness, picked up the mermaid ghost, and flew together to the mountains above the mermaid waterfall.
The open space below the waterfall is where the dugong arrows will be awarded.
Shimabukuro Kimie was not in the open space at this time, but like Eka, in the mountains above the waterfall - she had made a private appointment with Umihara Nami to meet here.
Shimabukuro Kimie is the miko who shoots dugong arrows, and Umihara Nami is crazy about wanting dugong arrows, so it's not difficult to take advantage of this to get her out.
…
Nami Umihara came to the top of the waterfall as promised, but did not see Shimabukuro Kimie.
She walked to the river, kicked stones into the river boredly, and waited for someone.
Shimabukuro Kimie walked out from behind the tree gently. She looked at the woman with her back to her with a complicated expression. She held a piece of rope and approached silently.
However, just when she was about to strangle him, she heard a splash of water.
——A strange huge wave suddenly surged in the river, and with a clear purpose, Nami Umihara, who was standing by the river, was swept into the water.
As soon as Shimabukuro Kime closed and opened his eyes, the person he wanted to kill was gone.
She looked at the empty river bank and was stunned for a moment.
The sound of water rushing around did not stop, but intensified.
Shimabukuro Kimie walked closer cautiously and looked at Nami Ubihara struggling at the bottom of the river, feeling extremely confused.
The river was not deep, but Nami Umihara couldn't stand up no matter how hard she struggled. It seemed like something was entangled in her under the water.
The surroundings were very dark, and Shimashiro Kimie could only vaguely see some outlines. She somehow felt that the "thing" entangled with Umihara Nami looked like a person with a fish tail, or...
A mermaid?!
Shimabukuro Kimie watched helplessly as her target was swept around several times by the water. At the same time, the protective rope on the riverside also fell off and fell into the river, spinning together with Nami Umihara.
In the end, the protective rope was tightly wrapped around Umihara Nami's neck and tied in a thick wild knot.
Then the woman in the river went down the river, and just like Shimabukuro Kime's murder plan, she fell off the cliff and hung lifelessly in front of the waterfall.
Shimabukuro Kimie looked at this scene blankly, suspecting that he was dreaming.
She looked into the water again, but there was nothing there. The "mermaid" just now seemed to be just her illusion.
But……
Shimashiro Kimie thought of the fresh corpse hanging on the waterfall, and couldn't convince herself that Umihara Nami's death was just an accident.
And if we take "mermaids exist in the world" as the premise of thinking...
Although Nami Umihara was qualified to receive the Dugong Arrow, since the awarding ceremony has not yet begun, she has not yet received the Dugong Arrow. Naturally, she will not be punished by the mermaid because she "lost the arrow."
But judging from what happened just now, the mermaid has a very clear hatred for her.
Thinking again about Kaori Kaori who drowned in the sea for no apparent reason not long ago...
Shimabukuro Junhui's heart suddenly moved.
That mermaid, that mermaid that appeared in the river and killed Nami Umihara before she could do it...
Could it be her mother?
…
More than ten meters away, Jiang Xia was sitting on a tree, temporarily switching to Xiao Bai's puppet.
As soon as Kiritengu was freed from the puppet, he flew conscientiously towards Shimashiro Kimie who was meditating facing the river.
It grabbed the rare murderous aura that smelled like sweet and sour fish all around the miko, and rolled up the fallen part of the murderous aura into a big ball like a marshmallow.
Two of the people Shimabukuro Kime wanted to kill have now died on their own.
This part of her murderous intent could not be poured out on the deceased, and it would dissipate on its own within a few days.
Even though I came here tonight, I would be really sorry for myself if I didn’t take away those crumbling murderous auras.
