The Magician of Conan’s World

After the death of the biology professor, an unknown creature such as “water ghost” appeared in the river in Iwami Town. Thinking of this, the corners of Bai Ye’s mouth raised slightly, it seems that it should be what he thinks.

Xiao Wei saw that Bai Ye showed this expression when he heard about Professor Furuta, and he couldn’t help but wonder. Could it be that Bai Ye thinks that Professor Furuta is conducting some inhumane animal experiments, thus creating creatures that are neither human nor ghostly?

“Speaking of the biology professor at the University of Tokyo,” Xiao Wei thought thoughtfully, “I remember Secretary Esato Nakamura mentioned that a young man from Tokyo University was dragged into the water by a water ghost and drowned, is there any connection between this young man from Tokyo University and Professor of Tokyo University?” ”

And when they first saw the mayor’s body, the residents were still shouting in panic about the same things as nine years ago.

Bai Ye agreed with Xiao Wei’s statement, “The young man of Todai who unfortunately died in Iwami Town nine years ago should have come for the dead Professor Furuta, maybe he was the professor’s student. ”

“You’re right.” Officer Suzuki interjected: “The young man had the key to the professor’s seclusion cabin, and asked me for the direction of the hut, saying that he followed the professor’s will to sort out his research materials during his lifetime. ”

After sorting out the research materials, he was killed by the water ghost, and Xiao Wei muttered to himself: “Sure enough, the water ghost is related to the professor.” ”

Finding that the painting style was becoming more and more sci-fi, Officer Suzuki hesitated and said to himself: “With the same limbs as humans, but can only live in water, this unprecedented creature cannot be created even by Professor Todai, right?” ”

“Creation?” Bai Ye suddenly chuckled, “I didn’t say that, the water ghost was not created by him, but existed in the world from the beginning. ”

Hearing this, Officer Suzuki asked in surprise: “Mr. White Night, do you already know what a water ghost is?” ”

Xiao Wei also looked expectant, where did he know that Bai Ye was on the spot, “It’s useless to say it at the moment, then I will directly catch it in front of the priest and witch, and the priority is to find out who is behind the scenes.” ”

Listening to Bai Ye’s words, Officer Suzuki looked incredulous, “Behind the scenes? Don’t you know the true face of the water ghost? ”

“I mean someone used the legend of the water ghost to secretly seek wealth and murder, but-” said Bai Ye and raised his head, “I’m not sure the identity of this person, it may be a priest, a witch, or everyone in the town…”

Officer Suzuki was stunned, is even my wife suspicious?

“Our sons were killed by water ghosts! How could Mesa be behind it? ”

“I’m sorry, but the shrine that profited the most from the water ghost incident, so the priests and witches had to be suspicious.”

Bai Ye explained that Suzuki Haruki was a police officer after all, and knowing that Bai Ye’s suspicions were reasonable, he could only nod slightly, “Speaking of which, I also suspected Dr. Sakurai, because he was the one who proposed the construction of the shrine, so the priest let him take charge of the sesame oil money.” ”

“Oh? The person who manages the sesame oil money is the old doctor? Bai Ye was slightly surprised to hear this.

“That’s right, he should be the one who makes the most profit.” Officer Suzuki frowned slightly, “But the doctor’s granddaughter was also killed by the water ghost, so I ruled out his suspicion…”

While speaking, Bai Ye had already turned over two old photos of the deceased, one of them was the young man of Todai mentioned earlier, and the other was Kako, the granddaughter of Dr. Sakurai. Unlike Suzu’s son, who lost too much blood and died, they were only found in the river after death.

“The two corpses look completely different.” Little Mourning tiptoes to look at the photo.

As Xiao Mo said, Xiangzi’s body is no different from ordinary drowning deaths, except that there are more bloody tooth marks on the body; However, the body of the young man of Dongda University was extraordinary, with his hands straight at his sides, his feet stretched straight as if he was bound by a rope, but he did not leave similar rope marks.

It was learned from Officer Suzuki that it had been confirmed through an autopsy that both were drowned by the river, which cannot be fake.

“Officer Suzuki, do you know who is closest to Professor Furuta, who died ten years ago?” Bai Ye asked suddenly.

“With Professor Furuta?” Haruki Suzuki muttered slightly, “It’s probably Dr. Sakurai, because they are all intellectuals, so they fit in well.” Before the professor became seriously ill and went to Tokyo to be hospitalized, he gave Dr. Sakurai the spare key to the cabin…”

The police officer was still talking, but the original sin, which had been silent, flew through the wall and into the police station, shouting to Bai Ye: “Partner, the soul of the town mayor and what you want to find Uncle Ben have been found, I also used magic to help you do things, this time you have to let me eat enough anyway!” ”

It turned out that he did not follow him into the police station because he was ordered by Bai Ye to do something else.

Bai Ye promised to take half of the commission fee to buy him food, and then stood up against the table, “Officer Suzuki, I think it’s time to unravel the truth and find out who is behind the scenes.” ”

……

At this time, many residents gathered next to the mayor’s body, and the priest, witch, and doctor Sakurai were still there.

Suzuki Haruki came to the scene with Bai Ye, and the police immediately came over and asked: “Officer Suzuki, when will we transfer the body of the deceased?” “Because of the rules of the case, the person who died must be brought back and asked the superior to send a forensic doctor to carefully examine.”

Officer Suzuki waved his hand, “Wait a minute, there is something else to do before that.” ”

Something else? The policeman looked to the side and found that Bai Ye was holding a fishing net in his hand, and couldn’t help but look at Bai Ye in surprise, “Hey! Aren’t you going to use a net pocket to catch the water ghosts? ”

Hearing these words, the eyes of everyone around them suddenly turned over, some surprised, some stunned, and even mocking.

“Just kidding, right? Catch the water ghost with a net pocket? ”

“How unreasonable! This is an insult to Lord Water Oni! ”

“What the hell did he take as the honorable Lord Water Ghost!”

The priest also frowned, he had chosen to tolerate it before, because Bai Ye only doubted the authenticity of the water ghost, and this suspicion was understandable to outsiders; However, at this moment, Hakuya’s actions are insulting the water ghost in front of the residents of Iwami Town, which may have caused the dissatisfaction of the water ghost lord.

Seeing the crowd roaring, every resident showed malice, although Xiao Wei was not afraid, he felt cold, and subconsciously grabbed Bai Ye’s arm. Bai Ye turned around and smiled at her, telling her not to be nervous.

“White nights, huh? Do you know what you’re doing? Onimon Daisuke asked coldly, his attitude no longer as friendly as before.

Bai Ye couldn’t help but laugh, “What for? You should ask yourselves this sentence, right? ”

Ask yourself? The priest could not understand the meaning of this sentence and asked rhetorically: “What does this sentence mean?” ”

Bai Ye couldn’t help but say sarcasm: “A bunch of idiots! ”

“Who do you say?” Immediately there were people around who shouted angrily.

“That’s you!” Bai Ye sneered: “As a victim, why do you desperately defend the water ghosts?” Why build a shrine for it and honor it as a god? Unreasonable! Even if it is really a high god, if it is me, even if there is no place to die, I will fight it to the end! Definitely will not surrender to it! ”

Hearing Bai Ye’s bloody words, everyone became confused about their behavior for the first time.

Yes, it’s a big deal, why should I live like a dog, wagging my tail and begging for mercy on the water ghosts who hurt me?

“Since you regard it as a god, keep your eyes open and see reality! Look at what you are bowing to, and what has ruled you for ten years! ”

After finishing the words, Bai Ye picked up the net pocket and stabbed into the river. _
