Mermaid Falls.
When the ceremony of awarding the "Dugong Arrow" was about to begin, Tang Ze found everyone and successfully reunited.
"Is it done?" Ayako asked casually, putting her arm around Tang Ze's arm very naturally.
"Well, I guess it's half done." Tang Ze smiled and replied casually.
"half?"
"Well, let's do the other half after the festival." Tang Ze smiled and said, "Let's watch the festival first, and then we can go together."
"Yeah." Ayako smiled slightly and nodded.
And in the Mermaid Waterfall, with the appearance of Shimabukuro Kimie in a shrine maiden's costume, the awarding ceremony of the "Dugong Arrow" began.
"Hey, Tang Ze-san, what have you been doing?"
Hattori Heiji and Conan, who were standing by, saw Tang Ze coming back and came over curiously to find out some information.
In response, Tang Ze glanced with a hint of sympathy at the two people who were destined to be beaten by him soon, then pointed at the festival and said meaningfully: "Watch this festival carefully, or you may not be able to see it again in the future."
"Can't see it?"
"What's the meaning?"
Conan and Hattori Heiji looked at each other, then saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
"It means exactly what it says. You'll know after the ceremony is over." Tang Ze said with a smile.
"Could it be that... Detective Karasawa..." Hattori Heiji said in a dry voice, "What did you find?"
"Is it about the whereabouts of Miss Menxie Saori?" Conan became a little restless after hearing this.
"I've discovered more." Tang Ze smiled undeniably, then looked at Conan and the other two and said poignantly, "You'll know after the festival is over."
“!!!”
When Conan and Hattori Heiji heard these words, they felt as if their hearts were stabbed with a knife.
So in the following period of time, the two began to rack their brains to find some clues, but even though they scratched their heads, they still got nothing and could only watch the festival gradually come to an end.
Afterwards, they followed Tang Ze to the shrine.
But when they arrived, they found that the residents of the island were walking into the house in an endless stream in the hall of the shrine.
It was Shimabukuro Kimie who pretended to be the boss and gathered all the residents on the island.
"Detective Karasawa, what's going on here?" Maori Kogoro asked, puzzled, as he watched the growing crowd gather. "All the island residents are here. Are they calling a meeting?"
"Yes, that's right." Tang Ze nodded.
"What's that for? Did something happen to Miss Menxie Saori?" As the "old god of death", Conan immediately had a bad impression.
"No, look at the woman sitting there with Sumi Ebihara and Naoko Kuroe. She is Miss Saori Monkyo." Tang Ze said with a smile, pointing to the woman sitting in the first row against the right wall.
"What?! Miss Menxie Saori has been found!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard what Tang Ze said, but just when Maori Kogoro and others wanted to ask what happened, Ming Shai slowly walked out.
"I've called everyone here today for no other reason," a voice with an aged look slowly rang out. "I simply want to reveal the truth and bear witness before you all!"
"witness?"
"What is it?"
After hearing Ming Shan's words, everyone present began to discuss, with puzzled expressions on their faces.
"I know you're all confused, so what I'm going to tell you next is about three years ago when Monkyo Saori, Ebihara Sumi, and Kuroe Naoko locked me in a warehouse and set it on fire, intending to burn me to death!"
Amidst the uproar of the crowd, the old man slowly spoke out the crimes committed by Monkyo Saori and the other two in the fire three years ago.
As expected, the three people's expressions changed when they heard Ming Shan's words, and they realized that something was wrong.
Although they blindly believed in the power of fate, in this situation, whether they were afraid of being spurned by the island residents or did not want to be arrested by the police for arson and attempted murder, the three of them began to deny it.
"Aren't you afraid of being cursed by Lord Fate?" Tang Ze slowly stood up and spoke, attracting the attention of everyone present.
"Who are you! All non-essential personnel please get out!" Ebihara Sumi said impatiently to Tang Ze.
"Detective Tang Ze is my honored guest. If you are willing to surrender yourself to him and confess your crimes, I will let bygones be bygones." The old voice sounded again, causing the three people's expressions to change again.
At this point, the three of them realized that something was wrong, and faced with the fateful attack, they all began to fight back.
"Lord Fate! Even if you're afraid we might covet the power of immortality, you can't say such nonsense!"
"That's right! My Lord, you're standing right here, alright!!"
"My Lord, if you want to punish me for losing the Dugong Arrow, there's no need to say that!"
The three of them sang in unison, giving everyone the impression that the murderer was seeking revenge against them for other purposes, while at the same time attempting to sway public opinion in their favor.
"If that's the case, then there's nothing we can do..."
The short, lifeless figure slowly turned around with the help of a cane, and an old, eerie voice rang out, "Then you... just wait for the curse of the mermaid..."
Having said that, Ming Shan ignored the three people whose expressions changed and started walking towards the house.
"Is this really okay? You've clearly committed a crime, haven't you?"
Tang Ze slowly walked up to the three of them and said, "Since you have all witnessed the power of Master Mingzhai with your own eyes, aren't you afraid of retaliation?"
"Humph! It's you who's causing all this trouble!"
Naoko Kuroe looked at Tang Ze and said in a bad tone, "You want to investigate the arson case three years ago. I'm trying to scare us with my life, but unfortunately, I didn't do it. I will never admit it!!"
"That's right!" Ebihara Sumi looked at Tang Ze with a bad tone and said sarcastically, "This method is too crude!"
When they heard Ming Sang introduce Tang Ze's identity, they realized something was wrong. Human nature of seeking benefits and avoiding harm made reason overwhelm blind superstition, making them wake up and insist that they had not done it.
But this was already something Tang Ze had anticipated.
If the threat of death is really that useful, he would naturally be happy to save trouble and also save props.
But that is only a small probability after all. The other party will most likely deny it like they are doing now.
Therefore, Tang Ze, who was well prepared, held the [Lie Detection Needle] in his right hand, walked meaningfully to the kneeling Menxie Saori, and slowly squatted down.
As if exerting pressure, Tang Ze placed his right hand on the other person's left shoulder, then leaned forward and said something to the other person's left ear.
After that, under the shocked and angry gazes of the other two, Monkyo Saori turned against them!!
