The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 333 Mermaid’s Grave

In fact, if there were only a few policemen from the Fukui Prefectural Police here, he would have just said what he said.

However, there are also Hattori Heiji and Conan here, and these two are not easy to fool.

In fact, let alone the two of them, even if it was just Kogoro Mouri, he didn't intend to pretend to be stupid. After all, there are still different opinions as to whether Kogoro Mouri is really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.

Therefore, in this case of Mermaid Island, he has to act normally no matter what, that is, he has to say what he needs to say.

After all, although this time he was helping Shimabukuro Kimie to hide the case, in fact, the difficulty has not been that Shimabukuro Kimie is not suspected, but that he is not suspected.

His most important task is actually to prevent Conan, Hattori Heiji and others from realizing that he is also involved in this murder case.

Although Hattori Heiji and Conan both trust him very much, if he reveals too many flaws, even if they do not doubt him at this time, they may become suspicious of him afterwards.

Shimabukuro Kimie also felt the meaning in Baiba Song's eyes, so she was no longer confused, or rather, she put her doubts aside.

At this time, Maori Kogoro frowned again and expressed doubts.

"Hey, do you feel weird?"

He scratched his head and asked in confusion,

"The Dugong Festival and the Dugong Arrow Awarding Ceremony are both held below the Mermaid Falls, so why did Miss Ebihara Sumi come to the upper reaches of the waterfall alone at night?"

The question of Kogoro Mori is actually a question that many people are confused about.

Faced with this question, Naoko Kuroe, a childhood friend and accomplice of Sumi Ebihara, smiled coldly.

"Heh, I think this guy Sumi is probably looking for the grave of the mermaid."

"The grave of the mermaid?"

Kogoro Maori was stunned.

At this time, a questioning voice of a young man was heard not far away.

"What it is?"

Everyone turned around and saw Hattori Heiji walking towards them with Conan and a lifebuoy.

He walked up to Bai Masong first, waved the life buoy in his hand, and smiled at Bai Masong.

"Brother Song, I have accomplished my mission."

"Um,"

Bai Masong looked at the lifebuoy and nodded slightly, indicating that you did a good job.

Then, he turned and looked at Kuroe Naoko.

"Ms. Naoko, could you please tell me about the mermaid's grave?"

"No problem, officer,"

Naoko Kuroe smiled slightly and began to speak.

"In fact, it was the fire three years ago that left behind the mermaid's skeleton. After the fire, the mermaid's skeleton was moved to this forest."

"According to Sumi's idea, I think Sumi should be here to find the mermaid's grave."

"Hey, wait a minute,"

Hattori Heiji interrupted Kuroe Naoko's words.

"Why do you all think that it is the skeleton of a mermaid? Does it really have a mermaid's tail?"

"No, that's what everyone on the island said. But when the Fukui Prefectural Police came, they just said it was the skeleton of a middle-aged woman."

Shimabukuro Kimie explained to Hattori Heiji.

"Humph! What nonsense!"

Naoko Kuroe snorted coldly.

"If the skeleton had parts below the waist, then we can say that!"

"Waist, below the waist?"

Maori Kogoro was somewhat shocked when he heard Kuroe Naoko say this word.

"Are you saying that the skeleton has no bones below the waist?"

Naoko Kuroe didn't say anything, just nodded, but Fukuyama Rokuro confirmed what Kogoro Mori said.

"Yes, when we found the skeleton, its lower body was crushed by a collapsed pillar."

"After we removed the pillars, we found no bones below the waist."

"Oh okay."

Hattori Heiji stroked his chin.

"Then why did you move the corpse to the forest here?"

"Because someone wants to steal it."

Fukuyama Rokuro said in a cold voice.

"what?!"

His words surprised Kogoro Mori, Heiji Hattori and Conan.

Bai Masong also made a gesture with his pupils slightly dilated, but then he sneered,

"It seems that some people are really crazy about wanting to live forever."

"Ah."

Hattori Heiji and others nodded in agreement.

Shimabukuro Kimie also sighed.

"Because some people always believe that this corpse is the skeleton of a mermaid, so they stubbornly believe that even if it is a skeleton, it has magical powers, so they want to rob the tomb."

"My great-grandmother didn't want this kind of thing that would offend nature to happen, so she asked me to find someone to move the remains to the back mountain."

After listening to Shimabukuro Kimie's words, Hattori Heiji asked Shimabukuro Kimie.

"Then, Miss Jun Hui, do you know where the mermaid's tomb is?"

"have no idea,"

Shimabukuro Kimie shook her head regretfully.

"The burial location of the grave was chosen directly by my great-grandmother. I didn't know that."

"Oh okay."

Hattori Heiji felt a little regretful, as he had originally wanted to continue going to the so-called mermaid's grave to look for clues.

"okay!"

Fukuyama Rokuro suddenly spoke, interrupting everyone's thoughts and words.

He picked up Ebihara Sumi and said coldly to everyone,

"Anyway, Shoumei's appearance here at this time may have her own problems, but there is no need to delve into it now!"

"Uncle Ebihara should be here by now. I'll take Sumi downstairs first."

As he said this, Fukuyama Rokuro carried Ebihara Sumi's body and walked down the mountain.

"Haha, it seems like your fiancé is quite responsible."

Naoko Kuroe looked at Fukuyama Rokuro and chuckled.

"fiancé?"

Maori Kogoro was stunned.

"Mr. Fukuyama is still Ms. Sumi's fiancé?"

"That's just my parents' orders,"

When Fukuyama Rokuro was reminded of this, his voice became even colder for some reason.

"My parents have passed away for a long time, and these things are no longer counted."

"Really?"

Naoko Kuroe looked at Fukuyama Rokuro, then at Shimabukuro Kimie, and revealed a meaningful smile.

Fukuyama Rokuro looked at Naoko Kuroe's expression and felt angry. This woman...

He wanted to say something else, but Bai Masong interrupted him directly.

"alright,"

Bai Masong said calmly to everyone,

"Mr. Fukuyama is right. There are probably a lot of people waiting for us down there. Let's go down first."
