Chapter 31 Death brings the dead

In Shimadai's house, Conan and his friends were sitting in the guest room, and it started to rain heavily outside.

"Looking like this, the police probably won't be able to come tomorrow..." Hattori Heiji looked toward the end of the corridor for an unknown number of times, "And that old lady, why didn't she come after waiting for so long?"

Mao Lilan and others sat around the table and waited patiently, "Miss Jun Hui just said that she would try to call her great-grandmother, but the old grandma is very tired from today's festival and may not be able to see us." The voice said.

Just after landing, there was a "dong, dong" tapping sound on the floor from the corridor outside.

"Are you the ones looking for me?" The wooden door suddenly opened, and an old woman with a wrinkled face and a cane appeared in front of everyone. Her voice was hoarse and her face was pale. She looked like a mountain witch.

Conan was startled, swallowed his saliva and stepped forward with a stiff expression: "Please... Excuse me, old lady, how did you decide the number that won the Dugong Arrow?"

Changshou Po stared at the people in the room for a while, and when everyone's hair stood on end when they looked at her, she suddenly laughed and said: "It depends on the situation. Sometimes I also use the numbers drawn by horse racing, haha..."

"In that case," Hattori laughed dryly, not interested in this cold joke, and the old woman's smile was really scary, "Why do you only give away three bottles a year instead of selling more?"

"That's impossible," Changshou Po pinched a piece of her white hair, her dry voice making a weird sound like fingernails scraping against a blackboard, "The hair I can use to tie those arrows is already very limited."

"Great-grandmother," Shimashiro Kimie's voice appeared from the other side of the corridor, "I've put the bath water away for you!"

When Changshou Po heard the shouting, she left slowly with her cane and her walking posture was weird: "I'm sorry, if you don't have anything important to do, I have to take a bath and go to bed."

Conan quickly stopped him, "But I still have something to ask..."

"Also," Changshou Granny ignored Conan. The old granny stopped and looked at Yuanshan Heye. Her smile was a bit weird. With her frowning face, she felt scary no matter how she looked at it. "The one over there with his hair tied up."

Little girl, the dugong arrow was originally an arrow to ward off evil spirits. If you let it go away from you, the monsters will build a nest on you. If you are a man, you will be buried in the ground and become a heartless hungry ghost. If you are a woman, you will be buried alive.

Enter the water and become a speechless mermaid! I advise you to carry it with you for a moment."

Then the wooden door closed, leaving everyone looking at each other. Conan turned around and was shocked when he saw the figure appearing on the door: "Who is it?!"

The figure outside paused, and then ran away quickly. Conan and Hattori Heiji rushed out. There was no one in the empty yard, but the figure just now could not be their illusion. Who was watching them? Or, in the

Spying on Ms. Shimadai or the longevity woman?

"Heiji, what's wrong?" Kazuha looked at the empty yard and looked at Hattori in confusion.

"Someone was watching us just now." Hattori Heiji looked ugly, "It's probably the murderer!"

Mao Lilan, Yuanshan and Ye: "What?!"

Kurosawa Gin pulled Gin and hid in the shadows. The corners of the silver-haired man's mouth twitched and looked at Kurosawa Gin who secretly peeked at Conan and his group. He couldn't figure out why he was hiding. Kurosawa Gin raised his fingers and Gin was silent.

He shifted his gaze and pretended not to see Kurosawa Gin's gesture.

"They're coming!" Kurosawa Gin said in a low voice, dragging Gin around from the other side. The tall, silver-haired man was being dragged by a half-grown kid to play hide-and-seek at Shimashima's house.

"As expected, someone was watching just now." Conan and Hattori Heiji looked at the traces on the ground with ugly expressions. Some grass showed signs of being trampled. The other party should have been hiding here after being discovered by them. After watching for a while, they noticed

Just left.

"They must not have left this yard yet." Conan glanced at the gate of Shimadai's house and looked at the marks on the ground with a flashlight. "Sister Xiaolan, guard the gate and don't let anyone out!"

Saying that, Hattori Heiji followed the traces and chased him.

"The traces you left are too obvious." Gin looked back at the trampled roadside.

"Shall we climb over the wall and get out?" Kurosawa Gin came up with some bad ideas.

Gin: "..."

Gin stared at Kurosawa Gin coolly, and the latter touched his nose and laughed dryly. It was indeed his problem to drag Gin here to play hide and seek. As for why he wanted to hide... maybe it was subconscious?

Hearing the footsteps coming from the other side, Kurosawa Gin took Gin and continued to circle around the Shimadai house and returned to the gate. Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha were looking around at the door.

Gin, who came around from the other side, lowered the brim of his hat, and Kurosawa Gin ran out, "Xiaolan, this way!" Hearing the footsteps, Kazuye and Xiaolan took an attack stance. The next second, Kurosawa Gin

Emerged from the grass, Gin followed behind.

"Xiao Yin? Mr. Jin En?" Mao Lilan looked at the two people doubtfully.

"Xiaolan, do you know each other?" Toyama and Ye looked at Gin, who was dressed in black, and subconsciously felt that the other person did not look like a good person.

"We know each other," Mao Lilan nodded, "Mr. Jin En, why are you here? Conan and the others just said that someone is watching..."

"Ask Kurosawa Gin." Gin adjusted his earphones and glanced at Kurosawa Gin, who was standing aside obediently. Conan, Hattori Heiji and Mouri Kogoro chased him out. Mouri Kogoro saw a man with long silver hair wearing a suit.

The man in black raised his hand, subconsciously thinking that the other party was going to attack Xiaolan, "Xiaolan, get out of the way!" Mouri Kogoro rushed directly towards Gin.

Maori Lan and Conan didn't even have time to explain. Maori Kogoro had already arrived in front of Gin, trying to throw Gin aside over his shoulder. The idea was beautiful, but the reality was cruel. Gin grabbed Maori Kogoro's hand with his backhand.

Wrist, kick the opponent's leg, making the opponent lose his center of gravity. With a turn of the wrist, Mouri Kogoro's whole body was restrained by Gin with one hand. One arm supported the body, and the other arm was pressed on the back. The whole process was very fast.

Very quickly, by the time everyone reacted, Mouri Kogoro was already kneeling on the ground.

"Wait a minute!" Mao Lilan saw her father being knocked over with one hand, and recovered from being amazed at Gin's skill, "Dad, this is all a misunderstanding!"

Gin let go of Mouri Kogoro and finally explained the matter clearly. Kurosawa Gin awkwardly apologized to Hattori Heiji and the others.

"Sorry." Gin looked at Mouri Kogoro rubbing his shoulders with a painful expression and apologizing simply. When he was suddenly attacked, Gin had a subconscious reaction. Although he came to his senses in time, it was impossible.

Let Kogoro Mouri throw him over his shoulder, right?

"You're too cruel." Mouri Kogoro moved his shoulders, "I almost broke my bones."

Gin: "..." It's not as exaggerated as you said. He acted with discretion. Otherwise, at that moment, Moori Kogoro would not exist in the world.

"Really, why are you running away?" Conan looked at Kurosawa Gin with half-moon eyes. If Kurosawa Gin hadn't suddenly escaped, how could these subsequent events have happened.

"Because I was frightened by your sudden shouting." Kurosawa Gin said confidently.

Conan: "Haha..."

On the second night after the dead body was discovered at Mermaid Falls, the Ebihara family held a funeral. Most people came to pay their respects in black clothes. The atmosphere was solemn and a bit heavy. Kurosawa Gin wanted to come over, so Gin followed him, but

In the beginning, they didn't plan to spend their trip looking for the murderer.

"ah--!!!"

The sudden scream made two detectives, one large and one small, rush over. A woman they were familiar with was entangled in a fishing net and fell to the seaside. There were still a series of footprints on the ground. Gin stood on the steps and looked at the face.

The pale corpse.

"Follow those footprints and there are still some fish scales falling on the ground."

"Fish, fish scales?!" He Ye and Xiaolan hugged each other in fear. Kurosawa Gin squatted aside and did not come forward. "Could it be... that the murderer is a human, a mermaid?"

"Idiot, how could a mermaid wear boots?" Hattori was speechless and sneered at this statement, "This is just a small trick to deliberately mislead everyone. I think the murderer may have walked all the way along the coastline and arrived at the

Ms. Naoko made an appointment to meet next to the fishing net. After the murder, she walked back along the coastline, and her footprints were washed away by the waves. It looked like this."

Gin lowered his eyes slightly and returned to the hall without saying a word, paying no attention to their subsequent discussion.

"It would be great if we could know who bought what number." Hattori Heiji had a headache. There was no clue about this case, which was really difficult to handle.

"This is easy," Shimashiro Kimie met Conan and Hattori's different gazes, "because I will mark everyone with each number on the roster. In this case, do you want to take a look at that roster now?"

Conan and Hattori Heiji stood up immediately, they had no reason not to go.

"Gin, do you know what is going on?" Kurosawa Gin came to Gin who was leaning on the fence outside. The silver-haired man put out the cigarette in his mouth, "The murderer who killed those two people

.”

"You have to learn to investigate on your own." Gin's voice was lazily, but this attitude can explain a problem very well. Nine times out of ten, Gin already knows who the real murderer is, but he has not exposed it and will not expose it.

"Aren't you interested in this case?"

"Then I'll go check the roster first. You wait for me here and don't run around." Kurosawa Gin couldn't control his curiosity and warned Gin before catching up with Conan and the others.
