Chapter 709

Hattori Heiji put on white gloves, reached into the corpse's mouth, and took out the fish scale.

"Her fingers were bleeding, so it's very likely that this fish scale is also stained with her blood."

"In addition, the deceased's wound was very likely scratched by the fish scale, so there might be residual fish scale surface tissue inside the wound."

"If the DNA identification results of both items are consistent, it is enough to prove that this fish scale is indeed a death message left by the deceased."

"However, looking at the situation of this fish scale now, it seems that identification is not needed."

Conan leaned over to take a look.

After seeing a trace of blood on the fish scale, a smile also appeared on Conan's face.

"So that's it, after this blood-stained fish scale was swallowed into the mouth by the deceased, it probably stuck directly to her palate, so the blood inside was not diluted by saliva and was preserved."

"In that case, our reasoning should be correct!"

Conan and Hattori Heiji both had smug smiles.

Suddenly, footsteps and crying came from the side.

A middle-aged man ran over, saw Ebihara Sumi's body, and collapsed on the ground, sobbing as if he had lost his soul.

"Sumi, how could this happen!"

"He is Sumi's father. Sumi's mother passed away when she was young, and she has been raised by Mr. Ebihara."

Shimabukuro Kimie introduced the identity of the person who came in a low voice from the side.

Everyone looked at Sumi's father, who was crying sadly, and felt a bit silent.

Just at this time, Kobayashi Masaki suddenly walked over and said: "We just contacted the Fukui Prefectural Police, and they said that the wind and waves at sea are too strong now to send anyone over!"

Hattori Heiji glanced at Sumi's father, then pinched his chin and said:

"Since that's the case, there's no other way. Let's perform a simple autopsy, take photos, and by the way, investigate the area around the crime scene carefully to see if there are any missed clues. Also..."

"Mr. Kobayashi, you work at the village office, right? Could you please list everyone on the island whose name, work, life, etc., are related to fish? We want to visit them one by one later to determine their alibis!"

"Uh, okay, no problem." Kobayashi Masaki nodded and agreed.

"By the way, are you still going to Saori's house? Come to think of it, Saori's father, Mr. Benzo, is also here now."

Shimabukuro Kimie said, her gaze looking at a certain position.

Conan and Hattori Heiji followed Shimabukuro Kimie's gaze.

I saw a man holding a small wine bottle, with a drunken face, standing in front of the waterfall, looking at everything around him with blurred eyes.

"Isn't that the third person who won the Dugong Arrow? I really didn't expect him to be Kadowaki Saori's father." Hattori Heiji frowned.

Conan also frowned slightly: "Really, a murder case happened here, and that guy is still drinking. Looking at his drunken state now, we don't seem to be able to ask anything."

"Let's investigate the suspects tonight and visit tomorrow."
