The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 331 Corpse on the Waterfall

an hour later

At this time, a lot of people had gathered in the open space in front of the Mermaid Waterfall.

Among them, there are actually not many local American island residents. Most of them are tourists from other places and some people who still have hope for the dugong arrow.

After all, it might be impossible to draw the Dugong Arrow, but it is possible to spend a lot of money and trade with those who have drawn the Dugong Arrow.

At the front of the open space was a small, simple "awarding platform" with two torches. Shimabukuro Kimie, wearing a shrine maiden's costume, was standing right in the middle of the two torches.

When she saw that the time had come, she said,

"Now, please ask the three guests who have drawn the Dugong Arrow tonight to come to the front. I will award the Dugong Arrow to the three of you."

As Shimabukuro Kimie finished her words, Bai Masong stepped out from the crowd and walked in front of Shimabukuro Kimie.

Shimabukuro nodded to Hakuba Song, then looked at the crowd below and shouted,

"What about the other two guests? Have the remaining two guests arrived?"

As soon as Shimabukuro Kimie finished speaking, a man reeking of alcohol also stood up.

"Haha, that's me. I'm here."

The man's face was still somewhat red from the alcohol. He held a number plate in one hand and showed it to Shimabukuro Kimie. One of the numbers written on it was "100-7".

When Shimabukuro Kimie saw it, her pupils dilated slightly, but no one saw it except Hakuba Song.

Then she cried again,

"There's one lucky guest left. Is the last lucky guest here?"

Two or three minutes passed, and there was still no reply.

Seeing this scene, Conan, Hattori Heiji and even Mori Kogoro in the audience felt a little strange.

"That shouldn't be the case. Why didn't Miss Ebihara come?"

Conan asked doubtfully.

"Yes, she got the Dugong Arrow as she wished. Why wouldn't she come to claim it?"

Hattori Heiji also frowned, feeling very confused.

Another five minutes passed, and Shimabukuro Kimie's face began to look a little bad. After all, no one would be happy if they were stood up during the award ceremony.

"Humph!"

Shimabukuro Kimie snorted coldly, looked at the people in the audience, and shouted again,

"The last lucky guest, if you are here please come up to the stage immediately, otherwise we will regard it as you giving up the gift of the Dugong's Arrow."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the people in the audience changed slightly, especially those guests who had ulterior motives, whose eyes gradually became heated.

After all, if the three dugong arrows really have magic power, it would not be easy to make one of them. Now that someone has given up, in order to make the best use of them, can I get them myself?

Ten seconds passed, and Shimabukuro Kimie's face became more and more unhappy. Finally, she said,

"Okay, in that case, the last Dugong Arrow will be considered abandoned. We will now hold a ceremony to award the Dugong Arrow to the two guests on stage."

As Shimabukuro Kimie finished her words, the ceremony of awarding the Dugong Arrow officially began.

an hour later,

Two American Island staff members came forward carrying a salute.

"Now, we will bathe you in the light of bliss. Please enjoy it."

Shimabukuro Kimie smiled warmly at Hakubamatsu.

This appearance, in the eyes of Kogoro Mori and others, is also very normal.

Maybe the white horse (Song Ge) paid a lot of horse inner energy for the dugong arrow!

Kogoro Mori (Conan/Hattori Heiji) thought so.

Afterwards, as the two staff members fired their cannons, the light of bliss flew into the air, slightly illuminating the dark sky.

However, the next scene shocked everyone in the audience.

"Then, what is that?!"

One person exclaimed, and everyone looked at him.

Above the Mermaid Waterfall that was crashing into the river, there was a figure with waist-length hair hanging.

The human body swaying left and right with the waterfall looked like a mermaid swimming upstream.

This figure was obviously a female corpse.

The first time they saw the corpse, Conan and Hattori Heiji looked at Hakuba Matsu with excitement in their eyes.

"Brother Bai Ma!"

Conan shouted at Hakuba Song.

Bai Masong nodded to Conan with a serious face, took the dugong arrow, stepped forward, looked at the crowd below the stage who were gradually panicking, took out his police officer ID,

"I am Inspector Hakuba Matsu of the Third Division of the First Investigation Division of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Metropolitan Police Department. It seems that a murder case has been discovered here. Please don't make any noise and cooperate with our investigation."

As he said this, he turned to look at Shimabukuro Kimie.

"Ms. Shimabukuro, please help calm everyone down and maintain this place. Although this may not be the scene, it cannot be damaged too much."

"Ok."

Shimabukuro Kimie immediately nodded in agreement, her expression very serious and nervous. After all, she was the person in charge here and she had to behave like a person in charge.

After Shimabukuro Kimie agreed, Hakuba Matsu said to Maori Kogoro,

"Mr. Maori, you bring a few staff members with me to the top of the waterfall. We will go to recover the body and check the scene at the top of the waterfall."

"no problem."

Kogoro Mori also agreed in a deep voice.

"Lan, He Ye, call the Fukui Prefectural Police immediately and tell them that a murder has occurred on the American Island. Ask them to send police over immediately."

Bai Masong then gave instructions to Xiaolan and Heye, the two professionals who were responsible for reporting the incident.

The two of them agreed in unison.

Everyone immediately took action in an orderly manner.

After Hakuba Song, Maori Kogoro, several staff members, Hattori Heiji, and Conan left, Hakuba Song stood beside Hattori Heiji unnoticed and said softly,

"Hattori, Mr. Maori and I are alone on the waterfall. You and Conan should go to the river downstream of the waterfall now."

"River?"

Hattori Heiji frowned, somewhat puzzled.

Conan also looked at Bai Ma Song in confusion.

Bai Masong explained calmly,

"The murderer must have had some means to hang the body over the waterfall, that is, to use a rope to let the body float downstream, and then use something to catch the rope."

"But the body could have been stuck in the shallows. Either the murderer was very strong and threw the body far away, or..."

When Hakuba Song said this, Conan and Hattori Heiji understood instantly.

"Or, he (she) used something that could drag people afloat on the water!"
