I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

Chapter 841 Kogoro Mouri's Famous Mystery

Although I am very worried about Chen En's debt situation.

However, Conan also knows that the heinous murder case on the American island should be dealt with first.

Now that the police officers from Fukui Prefecture have arrived.

Let's do a full review of the case here.

This incident began yesterday afternoon.

Yesterday afternoon, Conan received a phone call from Heiji Hattori.

Heiji Hattori told him clearly over the phone that he had received a letter asking for help, but the letter started with Shinichi Kudo's name, which was why he specifically called to ask if he wanted to come over together.

Conan was quite surprised by this.

He has never been to the American islands.

They didn't even recognize the person who signed the letter seeking help.

Furthermore, Heiji Hattori said that when he called back to confirm the situation, all he heard was a girl crying, which made Conan and Heiji feel that this incident was not as simple as they had imagined.

So Conan immediately tricked Kogoro Mouri into going with him.

Just then, Ran Mouri's cold also got better.

The three of them discussed it and decided to come together.

Conan was actually thinking about how to trick Kogoro Mouri on the way.

After all, the letter asking for help was written in Shinichi Kudo's name, but it was sent to Heiji Hattori, without mentioning Kogoro Mouri at all. What should they say when they meet the person asking for help...?

Then he realized that he didn't need to think about the problem.

He discovered upon arriving at the American island that the person seeking help had been missing for some time.

If nothing unexpected happens.

Those whose fate is unknown must already be dead.

So, apart from secretly vowing to avenge you, Conan couldn't do anything else.

It just so happened that it was the day of the mermaid festival on the island.

So he calmed down and decided to start by investigating the specifics of the mermaid festival.

It was later learned that the person seeking help had obtained the mermaid arrow during the previous mermaid festival.

There is such a legend on the island.

It is said that anyone who loses the mermaid's arrow will be punished by the mermaid and die without a burial place.

The coincidence was that the person who asked for help had just lost the Mermaid Arrow a few days earlier.

And she herself disappeared just as the prophecy foretold.

Conan immediately suspected the mermaid arrow.

Although Koizumi Akako had already proven to him that magic exists in this world.

But he didn't believe that magic was everywhere.

This heinous murder was likely committed using physical means.

It was merely a charade using the mermaid's arrow.

The wielder of the mermaid's arrow must be the person the real murderer is after.

They were just deliberately using the legend of the festival to fool people.

Mermaids do not exist.

It doesn't exist, at least not in the Japanese region.

This is the opinion given by Koizumi Akako, an expert.

It's impossible for mermaids to appear here unless Fukui Prefecture is removed from the Japanese household registration system.

With these doubts in mind, Conan participated in the mermaid festival.

Three mermaid arrows are distributed at each mermaid festival.

The three who received the Mermaid Arrow this time.

They are Naoko Kuroe, Tomi Ebihara, and Kazuha Toyama.

However, Tomi Ebihara did not appear at the waterfall where the Mermaid Arrow was used.

Her mermaid arrow appeared in Kadowaki Muzou's hands.

In other words, Toshimi Ebihara lost her mermaid arrow.

Therefore, the waterfall scene where the Mermaid Arrow is used.

Tomi Ebihara was hanged in the center of the waterfall.

Its body appeared and disappeared in the water. It looked like a mermaid swimming upstream.

Without a doubt, this was a heinous murder.

The person assigned the Mermaid Arrow is very likely to be the killer's target.

In other words, Naoko Kuroe, Toshimi Ebihara, and Kazuha Toyama were all the killer's targets.

However, Conan couldn't find any common ground between Kazuha Toyama and the previous two.

If the murderer wanted to kill Naoko Kuroe and Tomi Ebihara because they were close friends of Saori Kadowaki, who sought help, then why did Kazuha Toyama also draw the Mermaid Arrow?

Kazuha Toyama and Saori Kadowaki were complete strangers; she had even come with Heiji Hattori.

In other words, under normal circumstances, it's impossible for Toyama and Ye to appear here.

She shouldn't have been the killer's target.

This is really too strange.

"I already said, I'm not the murderer."

"I just found the mermaid's arrow and wanted to sell it for money..."

"This isn't illegal, is it?"

This was followed by questioning by Fukui Prefectural Police officers.

Kadowaki Muzo, who had previously found the mermaid arrow, loudly defended himself.

"You can't just say I killed the person because you can't catch the murderer."

"I just found a mermaid arrow, is that illegal?"

The Fukui Prefectural police officer stared suspiciously at the middle-aged man in front of him.

It is said that losing the mermaid's arrow will lead to the person's accidental death.

And now the mermaid arrow of the deceased Ebihara Toshimi is in your hands.

You say you didn't kill for money? Who would believe that?
Besides, the famous detective Kogoro Mouri has already made his judgment.

You must be the murderer too.

Could our famous detective possibly make a mistake in his reasoning?
"I said smugly."

"That's right, he's the murderer."

"The actual location of Ebihara Sumi's death should be upstream of the waterfall."

"That is to say, the murderer must be someone strong enough to carry an adult woman upstream from the waterfall and hang her without any resistance."

"It even requires the strength to tie a rope around an adult woman's neck to a rock in the middle of a waterfall so she won't be swept away."

"It's obvious you weren't there at the time, and the only person suspected of murder is you."

"Mr. Kadowaki Muzo, just admit it!"

Kadowaki Muzou: ?
The idea of a sleeping detective is complete nonsense.

How did someone like you manage to be a famous detective in Tokyo for so long without getting stabbed to death?

It's said that everyone in Beika Town is irritable.

How could I let someone as utterly nonsensical as you live this long?

Or is it that everyone you suspected has been sent to prison, so they had no chance to retaliate against you?
Kadowaki Muzo's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say to prove that he wasn't the murderer.

The thought that the mermaid priestess even had a roster was quite surprising.

A quick glance at the roster reveals that the person who won the Mermaid Arrow last year was his daughter, Saori Kadowaki.

Then, Saori Kadowaki's mermaid arrow was also inexplicably lost.

And then it disappeared.

They'll probably still think he killed his daughter.

How can we get rid of this scapegoat?

Just when he was on the verge of tears.

Hattori Heiji, standing nearby, shook his head and said...

"No, no, no, Mr. Kadowaki is not the murderer."

"We only need to look at the scene of the crime to know."

"I am the famous detective Hattori Heiji, my judgment is never wrong."
