Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends

After finally coaxing Suzuki Sonoko, everyone followed Shimabukuro Kimie's instructions, asked along the way, and finally arrived at Kadowaki Saori's house.

The gate of the courtyard was open, and you could see everything from the outside.

Fishing nets and tools were hung randomly in the courtyard, and other than that, it was empty. It seemed that the owner of this house had neglected it for a long time.

Yuya raised his hand and moved the green plants on the shelf, saying, "It's a little wilted. It looks like it hasn't been watered for many days."

Conan speculated, "So it seems that Miss Saori has indeed disappeared three days ago."

After asking along the way, they also got a certain understanding of the Kadowaki family.

Kadowaki Benzo was a fisherman by profession. Because his wife died, he got addicted to alcoholism and had long abandoned his fishing job. Only when he really had no money to buy alcohol would he go fishing for some money.

Fishing one day and drying the nets for three days is a true portrayal of him.

This also led to the poor living conditions of the Kadowaki family and the strained relationship between father and daughter. It was not until Kadowaki Saori graduated from university and started working to earn her own money that things improved.

But quarrels were inevitable on weekdays. Once there was a quarrel, Kadowaki Saori would run away from home and stay outside for several days before returning.

So now, although Kadowaki Saori has been missing for three days, no one around her found it strange. It was really commonplace.

Yuya raised his hand and knocked on the door, but there was no response after waiting for a while.

Just when he thought there was no one at home, there was a staggering sound of footsteps from inside, and finally a bang on the door, and the door was opened after a while.

A strong smell of alcohol came towards him. For people who don't drink, the smell of alcohol is very unbearable. Yuya felt nauseous and frowned and stepped back. Then he looked up and saw a drunken face with red cheeks.

A glance showed that the room was full of bottles of wine.

Benzo Kadowara looked at the crowd with blurry eyes, and found someone he didn't recognize, and asked stutteringly: "You, hiccup! Who are you?"

While speaking, another smell of alcohol came.

If half of the alcohol smell coming out of this room came from those bottles, then the other half was definitely from this drunkard.

Yu took a step back without making a sound, protected Hattori Heiji in front of him, pointed at him and said: "He is looking for you."

Hattori Heiji was stunned. Isn't it the same if you knock on the door and ask? Why did you push him out specially?

Hattori Heiji was about to speak when he smelled the strong smell of alcohol, and immediately understood: Kamiya, this guy, didn't want to smell the alcohol and pushed him out to block the knife, right?

He looked back angrily, and his face suddenly turned black.

Yuya had already retreated to Miyano Shiho, resting his chin on her shoulder, tilting his head slightly to smell the scent, as if he was using his girlfriend's scent to heal his nose that was hurt by the smell of alcohol.

Miyano Shiho felt a little guilty when she saw Hattori Heiji's resentful eyes, and looked away embarrassedly.

Hattori Heiji cursed in his heart: Are you a detective? Haven't you seen a murder scene? Haven't you smelled the stench of a corpse? Can't you stand the smell of alcohol?

And are you showing off your affection? You are showing off your affection! Right? !

Seeing that Hattori Heiji didn't say anything, but kept looking back, Benzo Kadowaki said unhappily: "If you have something to say, please say it quickly, don't delay me from drinking!"

He was the one who accepted the commission this time. Hattori Heiji could only pinch his nose and endure the stench and asked in a muffled voice: "I want to ask, where has Miss Saori been recently?"

Benzo Kadowaki was stunned for a moment, looked up and down at Hattori Heiji, and found that although he was a little dark, he could tell from his own eyes that he was not a poor boy, and immediately showed a wretched smile.

"Are you looking for my daughter?"

Heiji Hattori nodded somewhat unnaturally: "I received her commission..." and told about the commission letter.

Hearing that the other party was a detective, Benzo Kadowaki immediately lost interest: "What, a detective. I don't know where Saori went, you can find it yourself."

"Hey, aren't you her father? How come you don't know where she went?" Toyama Kazuha said a little dissatisfied, how can this man look like a father?

Benzo Menwaka curled his lips: "Saori is not a child anymore, how can I control her? Besides, she often goes out for several days without coming home."

"Okay, okay, I don't know anything more, don't disturb me drinking."

After that, he closed the door.

Everyone showed dissatisfied expressions.

Toyama Kazuha, who was a little impatient, was almost about to roll up his sleeves because of his attitude, but was stopped by Hattori Heiji in time.

Hattori Heiji sighed and said: "It seems that there is nothing to ask, we can only rely on ourselves to find it."

EveryoneDivide into groups and disperse to inquire about the news of Kadowaki Saori.

Unfortunately, after asking many people, whether it is villagers or tourists on the island, they all said that they did not know.

The villagers even said that Kadowaki Saori often ran away from home, and asked them to play on the island for a few days, maybe she would show up by herself at that time.

They also enthusiastically invited everyone to go shopping in their store.

Hattori Heiji declined.

He felt more and more uneasy in his heart. If it was any other time, he might really think that she ran away from home.

But Kadowaki Saori sent him a letter asking for help, and the matter of the mermaid revealed a little unnatural.

Hattori Heiji felt that no matter from which angle he considered it, he had to personally confirm that the other party was safe before he could feel at ease.

On the other side, Yuya took Miyano Shiho and asked for news while thinking.

He was wondering if there was any way to stop Shimabukuro Kimie from killing people.

He had an impression of the case of Mermaid Island. After coming here, he also remembered who the people who were killed in the case were.

Shimabukuro Kimie is a good girl, optimistic and nice, and beautiful. Especially for the future of Mermaid Island, she worked hard to take over her mother's mission and pretend to be a longevity woman. Regardless of whether this matter is right or wrong, at least her starting point is for the island and the villagers on the island.

It is really not worth sacrificing her beautiful second half of life for those three people.

However, it is quite difficult to stop it this time.

Unlike the time when Asai Makoto was there, the people there were drug dealers, and Yuya had no intention of saving their lives. Even the police investigation of the fire afterwards was perfunctory. After all, drug dealers and human traffickers are very hated no matter where they are.

But this time is different. It does not mean that those people are not guilty. From a legal point of view, they are guilty of intentional arson causing death, and can be sentenced to more than ten years, and in serious cases, life imprisonment or even death penalty.

It is because Conan and Hattori Heiji are there.

The two men were very good at solving cases. Even if Yuya did it himself, he couldn't say that he was 100% sure that he could hide it from their eyes.

Because he knew very well that as long as it was a case, there would be traces left. This was also his favorite saying besides his catchphrase.

Killing for Shimabukuro Kimie was not okay.

However, if the original incident was exposed, the crime of intentional arson and causing death, he would send someone to secretly operate it. The minimum sentence would be ten years, and it was not impossible to try to get a life sentence.

Even if it was only ten years, in the world of science, it was no different from a life sentence.

Thinking of this, Yuya had a general idea.

But before that, he had to find Kadowaki Saori first, otherwise everything would be too late.
