Conan: Another Famous Detective

Chapter 610 The truth about mermaid

"This is probably the situation." Yu Gongming roughly explained the cause and effect of the incident.

"Shou Mei, is everything he said true?" Shou Mei's father asked his daughter for confirmation.

"Yes! It's mostly true. She did invite me there under the guise of sharing the mermaid secret with me." Shou Mei said softly.

When Sumi's father heard this, he immediately looked at Shimabukuro Kime with an angry face: "Kimi! What grudge does our family have against you? Why did you want to kill Sumi!?"

Shimabukuro Kimie looked at Kotobuki and his daughter with indifferent eyes, and said coldly: "We have to ask about the good things she, Saori, and Naoko did three years ago."

"Three years ago?" Shou Mei's father was startled, but Shou Mei's expression changed.

Shimabukuro Kimie sneered: "I don't think you have forgotten, right? Three years ago, the fire burned down the shrine warehouse."

"That fire? Wait a minute, could it be that..." Shou Mei's father's expression also changed.

"Yes, the fire that burned down the warehouse three years ago was started by the three of them!"

Shimabukuro Kimie's voice suddenly dropped: "And my mother was unfortunately buried in that fire..."

"What? This is impossible! There is obviously Changshou Po in the warehouse!" Shou Mei immediately retorted with excitement.

Everyone in the room looked at her with strange eyes.

Her words were tantamount to admitting that she was indeed responsible for the fire three years ago.

Shou Mei seemed to realize this, and her excited expression became extremely stiff.

Shimabukuro Kimie sighed: "Now there is nothing to hide. In fact, the so-called longevity woman was actually played by my mother from the beginning."

"What?" Shou Mei's eyes widened in shock.

Shoumei's father and village chief's expressions were somewhat complicated.

Shimabukuro Kimie continued: "My mother just wanted to use this method to continue to spread the legend of the mermaid, so that there will be a steady stream of tourists coming here, and everyone's life will get better and better."

"I really can't accept that she worked so hard for this island and ended up like this!"

"But Jun Hui, why didn't you tell the truth then?" the village chief asked.

Shimabukuro Kimie smiled bitterly and said: "Because, my mother once called me before the fire engulfed her."

"She said that she really loved this island and she really didn't want Changshou Po to die like this."

"So, I relied on my superb makeup skills to continue pretending to be a longevity woman and fulfill my mother's last wish."

"I originally planned to continue like this and quietly contribute to this island that my mother loved."

Shimabukuro Kime suddenly raised his head and glared at Shou Mei: "Until Saori lost her dugong arrow a while ago, she found me in a panic."

"Perhaps her mind was already in a state of confusion, so she just revealed what happened back then!"

"She even said that if I refused to give her the Dugong Arrow, I would tell her the secret of the mermaid's tomb. She also wanted to gain the power of immortality like the longevity woman, even if she was surrounded by flames!"

Shimabukuro Kimie gritted her teeth, but tears filled her eyes: "I can't forgive them at all! That...that was me...no, my mother and I built it together, my mother's grave!"

Everyone in the room looked at Shimabukuro Kime, who had tears unknowingly flowing from his eyes, with complicated expressions, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.

Even Shou Mei's father, who was extremely angry at the beginning, now looked extremely gloomy.

He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Jun Hui, actually... in fact, we have always known that the so-called Changshou Po is pretended by you and your mother."

"What!?" Shimabukuro Kimie was shocked and looked at Sumi's father in disbelief.

Shoumei's father lowered his head and said with guilt on his face: "Except for the young people on the island, almost everyone else knows about the fact that it was your mother who was burned to death in the warehouse..."

When Shimabukuro Kime heard this, his eyes briefly lost focus and murmured: "How could..."

"It's true." The village chief on the side also said with a complicated expression:

"After what happened that year, we originally planned to never hold a dugong celebration again. However, when we saw you coming out to see us dressed as a longevity woman, we really didn't know what to say."

The village chief sighed: "We just thought that since you are willing to continue to play the role of longevity woman, then we will silently help you fulfill your wish."

Shou Mei's father also lowered his head slightly: "Honestly, although it was for the sake of the island, in the end it was us who felt sorry for you. No wonder you killed Shou Mei. Alas! It's all retribution!"

"You...why didn't you tell me this earlier!" Shimabukuro June covered her face with her hands, already sobbing.

"I'm really sorry!" The village chief suddenly knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Shimabukuro Kimie.

Seeing this, Shou Mei's father also took the same action.

Even though Shimabukuro Kimie almost killed his own daughter, compared to what his daughter did to Kimie's mother, after all, their family owed Kimie.

He was willing to kowtow to this.

Even Shoumei on the side pursed her lips and said with a choked voice: "Jun Hui, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."

Akira Hanamiya and others just watched this scene in silence. Although Akira Hanamiya still had some questions to ask, looking at the scene in front of them, it was better to wait until Shimabukuro Kimie calmed down a little before talking.

After a while, Shimabukuro Kimie gradually stopped crying.

Xiaolan took the initiative to hand over a handkerchief and asked Shimabukuro Kimie to wipe away her tears.

After seeing that Shimabukuro Kimie's mood had stabilized a little, Hanomiya Akira said: "Miss Kimie, to be honest, we came here after receiving Saori's letter of entrustment. Do you know the whereabouts of Miss Saori?" ?”

Shimabukuro Kimie looked a little gloomy and said softly: "She is a corpse now, so I hid it in the shrine."

She showed a bitter smile again: "To be honest, it was actually Saori who went to the dentist four days ago, but I stole her medical insurance card while she was not paying attention. She actually used my insurance when she saw the doctor. Card."

"If the police investigate, they will only find out that I went to the dentist."

"I originally planned to create a fire and use this method to disguise Saori's body as mine, achieving the effect of Ridai Tao's stiffness. However, I didn't expect that the plan was stopped by Detective Hanomiya just halfway through the implementation. Maybe this is It’s God’s will…”

Akira Hanomiya patted Shimabukuro June's shoulder gently and said warmly: "Miss June, I sympathize with your experience. However, since you have done some things, you still have to bear the consequences."

"When the police arrive, surrender yourself voluntarily. The judge will give you a lenient sentence as appropriate. You still have a chance to start over."

Shimabukuro Kimie nodded slightly.

…………

The next day, the police arrived at the American island and took away Shimabukuro Kimie who voluntarily surrendered.
