Corpse collector in Conan

Shimabukuro Kimie approached suspiciously, and when she saw clearly the "thing" in the crevices of the rocks, she was shocked - it turned out to be a woman.

The woman was wearing blue clothes and had short brown hair... No matter how she looked, she was today's murder target, Kadori Saori.

This is a development that Shimabukuro Kimie had never imagined.

She stared blankly at the corpse for a moment. After coming back to her senses, she straightened up vigilantly and looked to the side.

There was no one around.

Shimabukuro Kimie was silent for a moment, gritted her teeth, rolled up her sleeves, secretly dragged the body away, and hid it for later use - this body was originally part of her murder plan.

Now Kadori Saori died inexplicably...but Shimabukuro Kimie still plans to carry out the subsequent plan as usual.

…

Jiang Xia woke up and heard the ghost released told him about this. He thought about it and ignored it.

Although it is not very legal to hide a corpse privately, the mermaid told him that the dock here is equipped with surveillance to prevent the ship from being lost. Yesterday, Kadori Saori's appearance of stealing a boat and going out to sea was captured by surveillance cameras.

And no matter how you investigate, Kadori Saori did die in an "accident", and it is difficult to blame Shimabukuro Kimie for the murder. The body can be kept at her place for just two days.

…

If you want to deceive the new ghost, there are still two goals left. There were three people who burned the mermaid to death.

After getting up, Jiang Xia took stock of the murderous aura in her inventory while wandering around the island with a few classmates.

Because they had met Shimabukuro Kimie and Kadori Saori on the boat before, a group of people were very interested in the legend of mermaids and asked a lot of relevant news along the way.

The person at the specialty shop saw this and recommended them to visit the shrine.

Several people came to the shrine and met Shimabukuro Kimie dressed as a witch.

Shimabukuro Kimie was wearing a red and white miko costume, holding a royal coin in her hand, her originally hanging black hair tied into a bunch, and she was standing in the yard distracted.

At this time, a visitor suddenly came to visit. She turned around and saw Jiang Xia at a glance. She thought of the body she had just hidden and felt guilty.

Fortunately, she had performed in dramas a lot before and was very good at controlling her expressions without revealing any flaws.

Shimabukuro Kimie welcomed a few people in, introduced the shrine to them with a natural expression, and answered questions from the three girls around "eternal youth."

Before leaving, Shimabukuro Kimie suddenly remembered something.

She smiled at the girls: "If you are so curious about dugong arrows, would you like to try it yourself?"

Suzuki Sonoko was startled and her eyes lit up: "Are you going to sell us dugong arrows?"

Shimabukuro June laughed and shook his head: "Although I don't believe in its power, rules are rules. Dugong arrows cannot be sold directly. I said 'give it a try'..."

She took out three number cards: "It refers to this - these are the numbers used to draw lots at the festival. After all, the 'Mermaid Festival' is actually a lottery meeting. We will issue 180 numbers in advance. If the number is The number on the lot is the same as the number announced at the ceremony, and the person who holds it will get the dugong arrow."

The price of a number tag is only 5 yen, which is not even enough for the cost.

It seems that as Shimabukuro Kimie said, the number plates are not sold for profit, but to connect the fate between customers and mermaids.

This caused the three skeptical girls to have a favorable impression of the shrine, and their trust in the mermaid also increased significantly.

When they left the shrine, each of them had an extra number plate in their hands.

Shimabukuro Kimie looked at the backs of the high school students leaving, feeling a little tangled in her heart.

In order to carry out her murderous plan, she needs a few people who are enthusiastic enough but not familiar with Kadori Saori to accompany her.

These students from other places are undoubtedly very good candidates.

But there are some detectives in it...

Should we involve these people?

…

The night when the Mermaid Festival begins.

The elderly "Mingyang" appeared at the shrine dressed up. This is Shimabukuro Kimie in disguise.

She stooped to the door, waved a wooden pole with a burning tip, and lit the paper door on fire.

On the door that had been specially treated, three burning characters gradually appeared: "three", "one hundred and seven", and "sixteen".

Toyama Kazuha, Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan arrived at the shrine early.

At this time, the three of them looked at the burning characters on the door, then looked at their respective number plates, and sighed in disappointment: "No one hit."

Jiang Xia looked at this scene with slight surprise.

He remembered that in the original world line, Yuan Shan and Ye drew dugong arrows.

However, there are indeed many details in this world that are different from his "prophecy". I don't know if it is due to the butterfly effect or if the world has its own ideas...

Several high school students came earlier and stood very close to the front.

Shimabukuro Kimie, who was dressed as "Fate", heard their disappointed murmurs, glanced over secretly, and moved a little guiltily.

Yesterday, after giving away the number plate, Shimabukuro Kimie studied Jiang Xia's crime-solving collection all night, but in the end she still did not dare to choose these high school students as a part of her plan.

So when she was scribbling on the door, she cowardly avoided the signs of the three female high school students and randomly selected a number.

There are three Dugong Arrows in total. Except for this one, which is random, the other two have been chosen by default - Shimabukuro Kimie chose her two friends, Umihara Nami and Kuroe Nao.

These two people, like Kadori Saori, were the childhood friends of Shimabukuro Kimie, and they were also the enemies who set fire to the warehouse and killed her mother three years ago.

Nami Umihara didn't notice the complicated gaze of "Mate". She looked at the announced winning number, covered her mouth and smiled: "I won!"

Several people around looked at her with envy.

After announcing the lucky numbers, "Mingyang" stooped back to the room while everyone else's attention was focused on the burning numbers.

She changed her disguise and returned to her appearance as Shimabukuro Kime.

Shimabukuro Kimie wore a miko costume, returned to the door, and stood in front of everyone again.

Her eyes swept through the crowd, not lingering on the two former friends.

After the surroundings calmed down, Shimabukuro Kime announced solemnly: "The Dugong Arrow will be awarded in one hour, and everyone is invited to go to the Mermaid Falls."

This is a necessary process for awarding Dugong Arrows each year. The terrain below the Mermaid Falls is open, where they can shine the "Light of Blessing".
