Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 483 Expressions Gradually Deform
Conan and Hattori exchanged a glance. It was good, but it would be even better if they could leave someone alive.

"what--"

Just as Hattori was about to take a shower to relax and open his suitcase, he suddenly noticed something was amiss.

He turned his head and stared blankly at the woman bound on the ground, then looked completely dumbfounded.

"No, what's she doing here?"

Many images flashed through Hattori's mind.

I just went to Shimabukuro's house to steal something, and then they showed up here and were tied up?

Could it be that Kazuha wanted to help his childhood friend cover up the fact that he stole something, which is why he tied him up?

The ideas are clear and the logic is consistent, but the clothes are a bit strange, somewhat like the clothes worn by the longevity goddess at the dugong celebration at night.

It's just too short.

Shimabukuro Kimie is over 1.6 meters tall, while the old woman seems to be about the same height as Conan. When the old woman's clothes are worn by Shimabukuro Kimie, everything below the knees is exposed.

Overall, it looks like a short skirt, and the way it's bound gives it an indescribable sexiness and allure.
"Uncle Kogoro, what's going on?"

Conan asked the question that had been bothering Heiji Hattori.

"That's a long story."

"Then let's get to the point?" ×2
Kogoro Mouri started rambling on and on for half an hour, making sure he didn't drink any water and there wasn't a single dull moment. He even managed to graft the act of identifying the murderer by hanging a body tag onto the fact that he found the tag and deduced that it was a message from Toshimi Ebihara before her death.

Then, she described how she saw through the fact that the longevity woman was actually played by Kimie Shimabukuro, from aspects such as appearance details, psychological characteristics, behavior, and walking posture.

It's worth mentioning that while Kogoro Mouri was bragging, Conan and Kogoro took turns taking a bath.

"In short, the old woman and Shimabukuro Kimie are the same person. I noticed the problem before, and tonight I finally saw through the truth!"

Kogoro Mouri put his hands on his hips and laughed, then couldn't resist picking up a glass of shochu and gulping it down.

Conan, understanding Kogoro Mouri's personality, picked and chose, and roughly figured out the cause and effect.

Fortunately, Ran and Kazuha were already asleep, otherwise they would definitely have spoken up in rebuttal.

Shimabukuro Kimie was asleep when Hattori startled her awake, but she fell asleep again because Kogoro Mouri's story was so long and hypnotic.

In short, the entire one-hour text conveys only one point: When I, the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, take charge, there is no case I cannot solve, and no criminal can escape my eyes.

Conan and Hattori remained silent for a long time, their expressions gradually changing.

If being a longevity woman is a family tradition, and the woman who plays the role of a longevity woman, Kimie Shimabukuro, has already been arrested, then what kind of longevity woman did they see at night?
This belated realization is far more chilling than seeing the longevity woman at the beginning.

It's like listening to a ghost story on the radio, and then realizing that you've experienced what was described.

"That's it! I remember where the problem lies!"

Hattori's startled reaction pulled Conan out of his strange thoughts, and he asked in confusion, "What did you remember?"

"The longevity woman! Something's wrong with that longevity woman, her height is abnormal!"

"Hey, are you guys even listening to me?" Kogoro Mouri was quite annoyed at not receiving any praise for so long. However, the two high school detectives had already gotten into the swing of things, activating their passive skills and completely filtering out his presence, entering a state of blissful oblivion.

After carefully recalling the events, Conan nodded repeatedly. Just as Hattori had said, he had looked up and seen the old woman, not at eye level!
This was actually a very obvious flaw, but I overlooked it because of the darkness and my own mindset.

"We realized the problem too late. Even if we go back now, the other party will probably have already left."

"Damn it, who is that guy? He suddenly startled us. What does he want?"

Heiji Hattori was a little embarrassed. It was all Conan's fault. If they had knocked on the door openly, they would have known that no one was home at the Shimabukuro house, and then they could have openly turned on the lights to search. They wouldn't have been scared away by some random old woman.

The other party must have taken a spare disguise mask from Shimabukuro Kimie. Height was the biggest problem, and now that I think about it, the other party's clothes were also a problem.

Although I couldn't see it clearly, I glanced at it and it seemed to be black.

Conan had a strong feeling that the person who scared them was a codenamed member of the Black Organization.

Given its characteristic of not harming itself, there's probably no one else besides tequila that fits this description.

Damn it, I've been disgusted again!
The thought of the other person deliberately patting him on the shoulder and then pretending to be an old woman to scare him made Conan a little angry.

This can no longer be explained by coincidence; this guy definitely did it on purpose!

"Seriously, what are you guys talking about?"

Kogoro Mouri realized that the two of them didn't get what he wanted at all, and stormed out, looking unhappy.

With Conan and Hattori watching over him, Shimabukuro Kimie felt at ease and was now going to sleep.

Meanwhile, Natsukawa had already left the Dugong Shrine. In order to ensure that Conan would not discover any problems when he came to the Dugong Shrine again, he could only tearfully dump the entire cabinet of catalogs into the sea.

When Conan looks back on it later, he will only suspect that the Black Organization is interested in the list, and will not discover Natsukawa's true purpose at all.

Vodka was also very quick, having already finished moving everything, and was waiting for Xia Chuan at the agreed location.

Despite the heavy rain, Xia Chuan had prepared a diving suit and diving booster with Vodka in advance, which allowed him to withstand the raging ocean currents and enter the submarine in a short time.

"Tequila, amazing! Princess Thorn didn't come looking for us tonight after all!"

"There's nothing to be happy about. Although we got rid of the Thorn Princess, we sacrificed a promising member. This promotion mission, which aimed to protect Yimu, had many problems, but it was also because I didn't plan well."

"Nonsense, this is clearly Bao Benyimu trying to scam us." Volt stepped forward, patted Xia Chuan on the shoulder, gave him a knowing look, and continued, "Don't worry, I've already told Big Brother about this."

At this point, Vodka sighed again: "Speaking of which, we'll have to start picking people again. I hate this the most. There are so many peripheral members, and quite a few of them are outstanding. It's making my eyes tired."

He didn't care about the life or death of Bao Benyimu at all.

If a peripheral member who hasn't even been promoted yet dares to use him and Tequila as pawns, what will happen if they are promoted? Dying wouldn't be such a bad thing.

"After all, to become a code name agent, one must have a clean background. If another person like Rye appears, then the sky will fall."

Vodka briefly imagined himself recruiting another Shuichi Akai, and immediately felt a chill run down his spine.
