Conan's Unscientific Detective

Naoko Kuroe glanced at the villagers below.

Although she was somewhat outspoken, she was still hesitant and did not dare to say in front of so many people that she was the one who set the fire.

"Ok?"

Xiao Hei frowned when he heard this.

"Zi Liu!"

The electric baton made a crackling sound again.

"That's right, it was us who set the fire!"

Naoko Kuroe shuddered. "We were all drunk at the time and saw the Fate-Show walking into the warehouse, so we thought of setting fire to see if the Fate-Show was really immortal... But who knew we would accidentally burn the Mermaid to death!"

"So nice."

The coldness on Xiao Hei's face gradually eased. He picked up the electric baton and shocked her again.

"It turned out that they were the ones who burned down the warehouse..."

"Isn't that right?!"

"No one has figured out what happened to that mermaid's body yet."

"Could it be that the person who calls himself Xiao Hei is really the ghost of a mermaid?"

"You've lost your mind, your family members use electric batons on mermaids!"

"What if it's some weird magic?"

"Mermaids are obviously female."

"What if I use some weird magic to change my gender?"

"Hey hey hey..."

"But why do you say it's fate? It's obviously still alive and well!"

"Isn't that bullshit?"

This time, no one cared about the little black guy on the roof.

Instead, he began to care about what Naoko Kuroe had just mentioned, the matter of someone being burned to death.

As for regarding Xiao Hei as the ghost of a mermaid, naturally no one would believe it except the loyal believers of mermaids.

Just like most of the damn Japanese people do not admit the bad nature of the shit they did back then, and are frantically tampering with history, among these people, there are still some young people who have only a vague understanding of what happened back then.

When it comes to fate, they subconsciously turn their eyes to Shimabukuro Kimie.

"Is it really the fate of those who were burned to death back then?"

"Ms. Jun Hui, what is going on?"

"Why would she say that the Lord was burned to death?"

Shimabukuro Kimie was a little panicked for a moment when asked by people around her.

She didn't know that some people on the island already knew the truth about her fate.

At this moment, she was desperately thinking about how to explain so as not to expose the fact that the death was pretended by her family members.

"Forget it, Miss Jun Hui."

At this time, Fujino slowly walked towards Shimabukuro Kimie: "Combined with what Xiao Hei said, I think if my guess is correct, the middle-aged woman who was burned to death should be from the Shimabukuro family, right?"

"what?"

Shimabukuro Kimie was stunned when she heard this and raised her head in a daze.

"In fact, I figured it out before. The person who died last night was a fake one by you, Miss Jun Hui."

Fujino's voice was low and calm, as if he was stating the facts: "Put on a disguise mask, tie your legs with ropes, kneel on the ground and walk slowly. Am I right?"

Conan and Hattori Heiji were surprised at first, but soon they followed Fujino's train of thought.

If you think about it carefully, it seems to be true.

However, Kogoro Mouri, Xiaolan and others were all confused and had not yet caught up with Fujino's pace.

After a brief moment of silence, Shimabukuro Kimie lowered her head and sighed: "I didn't expect it to be exposed."

"I am still very confident in my disguise."

She raised her head and looked at Fujino with a complicated look in her eyes: "When exactly did you…"

"The first moment I saw my fate."

Before Shimabukuro Kimie could finish, Fujino spoke first: "Whether it's the proportions of your body or your temperament... the most important thing is that you didn't change out of your miko costume when you were disguising yourself, and your bust... ahem, you didn't disguise yourself."

"what?"

Shimabukuro Kimie was slightly stunned when she heard this, then immediately her face flushed when she realized what was happening.

She had thought of countless possibilities of being exposed, including but not limited to having her voice heard.

But the bust is exposed...

She hadn't expected to be exposed in this matter...

After all, who would have thought that someone would pay attention to other people's bust size!

Conan: "..."

Hattori Heiji:"……"

So why do you look at someone’s bust size?

And seeing through the disguise actually uses breast size or something...

Everyone knows that you have a keen eye for observation, but why don't you try to hide this? !

"chest circumference……"

Xiao Laba and He Ye were both stunned for a moment, looked at Shimabukuro Kimie carefully, and then their faces turned red.

"Ahem, let's not talk about this for now."

Fujino coughed lightly, and felt that the eyes around him were somewhat unfriendly, so he changed the subject and said, "If that's the case, then the body without feet in the warehouse three years ago might be the impostor of the previous appointment..."

"Yes, just as you said, Detective Fujino, the former boss who was burned to death was my mother."

Shimabukuro Kimie lowered her head, her cheeks still slightly flushed, and said in a deep voice: "A poor woman who inherited my grandmother's job, desperately played a role for the benefit of the entire island, and was finally burned to death."

"Burn to death..."

Maori Kogoro frowned, and finally reacted: "Could it be that the person who was set on fire by the three of them was Miss Kimie's mother?"

"You just realized it, uncle."

Conan complained speechlessly, then turned to look at Shimabukuro Kimie and asked curiously: "Sister Kimie, did you know that they were the ones who burned your mother to death?"

Judging from Shimabukuro Kimie's reaction when she learned the truth just now, he felt that Shimabukuro Kimie must know something, or had known the truth a long time ago.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said "he was burned to death in the end".

"Well, I just found out about this a while ago."

Shimabukuro Kimie nodded and did not deny it: "To be honest, if Saori hadn't let it slip when she came to me and asked me to take her to the mermaid's grave because she lost the dugong arrow, I wouldn't have known about this."

"So what that Xiao Hei said is true?"

Yuichi Shimura had been listening quietly nearby and finally understood what was going on.

Originally, he came here to check out the attack.

I didn't expect to have the opportunity to solve a murder case...

Moreover, it was an old and sensational case that had not been solved at the time.

This opportunity can’t be stopped!

Thinking of this, Shimura Yuichi was delighted, and then he turned to Xiao Hei and shouted, "Mr. Xiao Hei, we can totally agree to what you said. As long as we find evidence, we will immediately arrest the three of them. Can you let them go now?"

"It's not over yet."

Xiao Hei looked around the square of the shrine: "I'm not the only one who knows about this... People in your village should also know about this, right?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 354: Cannibalism

"Ugh?"

Shimabukuro Kimie was slightly stunned when he heard this.

The faces of some people around also turned a little ugly.

Conan looked around, his eyes narrowed, and soon understood what was going on. He whispered, "I see..."

"I'm sorry Jun Hui!"

After a brief silence, a square-jawed man in the crowd couldn't help himself first. He walked up to Shimabukuro Kimie and bowed deeply: "In fact, except for some young people on the island, almost everyone knows about this."

"is that a lie……"

Shimabukuro Kimie stood there in a daze, her eyes widened a little, and she seemed a little at a loss.

"In fact, we all know that the woman who was burned to death in the fire three years ago was your mother..."

"We had originally planned not to hold the Dugong Festival after that, but now that you've appeared in front of us again disguised as the Fate, we don't know what to say about this matter."

"This island is originally the Mermaid Island... Since you are willing to continue to make it happen, we are naturally willing to cooperate and continue!"

Led by the square-chinned man, some of the older islanders around him also began to speak out about the matter.

"how so……"

Shimabukuro Kimie looked around at the familiar people around her and suddenly felt a little strange.

"Hehe... After all, you are just doing this for your own benefit."

At this time, Xiao Hei on the roof laughed and said jokingly: "You treat the little girl like a clown, and the whole island is full of cannibalism!"

"Compared to me as a villain, you islanders who treat innocent girls like clowns and exploit them for your own benefit are even better than me as a villain!"

Someone in the crowd objected: "We are indeed doing this for the benefit of the island, but this is also Jun Hui's own wish!"

"Of her own free will?"

Xiao Hei frowned, "If this matter had been told earlier, would those people have burned people to death just to test their fate? Would Jun Hui's mother's body have to be buried in the back mountain under an assumed name, without even a tombstone?"

As he spoke, he laughed out loud: "In the final analysis, the reason you didn't tell anyone was because you benefited from the festival. You must have thought that instead of telling this matter, it would be better to keep Jun Hui in the dark and let the lies that have lasted for so many years continue to entangle her, so that you can get more benefits from the festival in the future, right?"

"........."

There was a sudden silence among the people in the shrine square.

Most of the people present did make a lot of money from the festival.

Just as Fujino said, as long as the festival continues, the legend of this island will attract a large number of people who believe in the fate of mermaids, so there will be a large number of guests for a few days every year.

No matter what, they chose not to tell Jun Hui the truth, and they did have their own little thoughts behind it.

"I'm sorry, Jun Hui!"

"Even though this is for the island, I'm still very sorry for you!"

"please forgive us!"

The surrounding islanders all humbled themselves and bowed to Shimabukuro Kimie to apologize sincerely.

"Why didn't you say so earlier..."

Shimabukuro Kimie was confused for a moment and looked around at the islanders around her, feeling a little strange.

If these people had said it earlier, she wouldn't have to play two roles every day.

My mother wouldn't have to be burned to death because of pretending to be dead...

After all, she pretended to be a person because of her mother's request and for the sake of the island.

But now, she always feels like something has been quietly broken.

Suddenly I felt like I had been doing something meaningless.
