Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends

Shimabukuro Kimie pushed open the door and walked in with a cold face.

She looked at the pale-faced Ebihara Sumi on the bed and said coldly: "I came to see if you were dead, but I didn't expect to hear such a thing."

"My mother was burned to death by you?!"

Of course she knew that it was those three people who burned her to death, but since she could stay out of it, there was no need to make trouble.

Ebihara Sumi's pupils shrank sharply, and she quickly argued: "No, Junhui, listen to my explanation, that's not your mother, it's a mermaid..."

The three detectives immediately showed a speechless expression. No, this woman is obsessed with mermaids, right?

"Don't I know if it's a mermaid?!" Shimabukuro Kimie roared hysterically, with deep disappointment in her eyes.

Her plan of murder and revenge was destroyed by the mermaid, and she couldn't continue to do it in the hospital, so she had to put it aside for the time being.

I thought Sumi Ebihara would be restrained by the mermaid's attack, but I didn't expect that she is still stubborn.

Such people deserve to die!

Sumi Ebihara still didn't believe it. She asked tentatively: "But didn't your mother die in a shipwreck many years ago?"

Shimabukuro Kimie smiled miserably: "That's all to pretend to be a longevity woman."

"What, pretend to be a longevity woman?" Sumi Ebihara looked confused, "What does this mean?"

"It's all for this island!" A somewhat old voice sounded at the door.

Several people turned their heads in amazement and saw the village chief walked in with the support of Fukuyama Rokuro.

"What a sin! What a sin!" The village chief knocked the ground with his cane, making a banging sound, "You guys actually did that kind of thing! It's simply unforgivable!"

Ebihara Sumi looked desperate: "Village chief! Rokuro! Why are you here?"

Shimabukuro Kimie was shocked. What does that mean? According to the village chief, he knew that the body was my mother?

Fukuyama Rokuro looked at his fiancée expressionlessly and said coldly: "Detective Kamiya asked someone to call us here, saying that there was something important to say, but I didn't expect... to hear such a thing."

Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at Yuya in surprise.

Yuya whispered to the two friends: "When I heard that the mermaid came to attack again, I guessed that Miss Sumi might not be able to bear it and would tell the story, so I thought about finding a few more witnesses."

The two suddenly realized that he was still thoughtful.

Sumi Ebihara asked with a pale face: "Village chief, what do you mean by what you said just now? Everything is for this island?"

The village chief sighed and said: "Only the older generation knows about this. Our island was originally very poor, but later because of the legend of mermaids, tourists began to come here, and gradually the economy was boosted and the lives of the villagers became better."

"And the representative of the mermaid legend, the longevity woman, has become the symbol of our island."

"But fake is always fake, and it will be exposed one day."

"That day came soon, and it even came unexpectedly. The longevity woman suddenly died of illness."

"What, what?" Sumi Ebihara was confused. The longevity woman died of illness?

Then who is the longevity woman she has been seeing? Who is the person who appeared at the mermaid festival? Is it a ghost?

The village chief continued, "If the outside world knew that the immortal Changshou Po died of illness, it would undoubtedly be a devastating blow to our island, so someone stood up, that is Junhui's mother! She decided to continue to play the role of Changshou Po."

"But who would have thought!"

The village chief coughed because of excessive anger: "We thought her death in the fire was an accident, but we didn't expect that it was done by you guys!"

"I..." Ebihara Sumi was stunned by this shocking secret, and she opened her mouth without knowing what to say.

Shimabukuro Kimie was also shocked. She asked in disbelief: "Village chief, you... have always known that the Changshou Po was my mother pretending to be? But why didn't I know about this?"

The village chief took a breath and said with a sad face: "The fire came too suddenly, maybe she didn't have time to tell you about it."

"Then, then..." Shimabukuro Kimie stood there, "Then you all knew about these three years..."

The village chief nodded heavily.

"Why didn't you tell me? You've been lying to me?" Shimabukuro Kimie felt a sharp pain in her heart.

The village chief pushed Fukuyama Rokuro away and knelt on the ground with a plop: "I'm so sorry!"

"After the fire three years ago, we originally planned not to continue holding the Mermaid Festival., but when we saw the longevity lady appear in front of us, we immediately knew that it was you pretending to be her, and we didn't know how to tell you about this. "

"This island is called Mermaid Island. Since you are willing to continue pretending to be the longevity lady, then we can only accompany you silently to continue acting."

Shimabukuro Kimie had already burst into tears. The older generation on the island actually knew that she was pretending to be the longevity lady. What was the point of her three years of hard work? Isn't everything meaningless?

The village chief burst into tears: "Although it is for the sake of the island, you have worked hard for so many years. I am really sorry! "

Shimabukuro Kimie covered her mouth with her hands, but intermittent whimpering sounds still came out from between her fingers.

Yuya sighed and walked out first, and Hattori Heiji and Conan followed.

As soon as the door closed, Shimabukuro Kimie cried bitterly from inside.

Hattori Heiji said with some emotion: "I didn't expect that this investigation would get such a result. The longevity woman is fake. It was Miss Kimie who pretended to be her."

Conan was also a little sad, but he immediately thought of something: "Did we forget something?"

Hattori Heiji and Yuya looked at Conan in confusion: "What's the matter?"

Conan was a little speechless, and said with a dark face: "Hattori, have you forgotten why we came to Mermaid Island?"

Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and suddenly said: "Ah! We haven't found Menwaki Saori yet! "

Yuya was also stunned for a moment. Damn, he actually forgot about this woman. Could Shimabukuro Kimie have already taken action?

···

Fortunately, Yuya's worries did not come true. Menwa Saori is still alive, but she has been very weak after being locked up for three or four days. It is estimated that she will be seriously ill.

Of course, when she comes out of the hospital, she will face the prosecution from the Procuratorate for the crime of intentional arson causing death three years ago.

Ebihara Sumi and Kuroe Naoko will not escape either.

As for Shimabukuro Kimie's illegal restriction of Menwa Saori's personal freedom, because it did not cause Serious consequences, plus Mao Lilan heard the whole story, and called her mother, Kisaki Eri.

After Kisaki Eri knew about it, she asked about the details of the incident and immediately expressed her willingness to defend Shimabukuro Kimie.

With the queen of the legal world personally taking action, um... Menze Saori will probably be locked up for nothing.

On the boat leaving Mermaid Island, Conan and Hattori Heiji sat at a table with their chins propped up in the same pose, and their expressions were not very good.

Yuya knocked on the table: "What's wrong with you? We solved the case three years ago, what are you unhappy about?"

Hattori Heiji frowned and said: "In the end, we didn't find out who pretended to be the mermaid."

Conan said in a deep voice: "I have a guess, but..."

Hattori Heiji's expression moved, and it was obvious that he had the same idea as Conan.

Yuya raised his hand quickly: "Don't say guesses without evidence. "

Conan was speechless for a while, and opened his mouth but didn't say anything.

He suspected that Yuya had the same idea as him, but there was no evidence.

Yuya rubbed Conan's head with satisfaction.

Conan's forehead darkened, staring at Yuya and suddenly said: "I thought of a question. Since we haven't found out who pretended to be a mermaid, then... Yuya, shouldn't your 100% crime-solving rate be reduced?"

Yuya was stunned for a moment, but he immediately thought of a reason: "What a joke, this case was caused by Hattori's commission, I am just an assistant, don't blame me! If you want to reduce it, it should be his."

"Hey, hey, hey!" Hattori Heiji yelled dissatisfiedly, "How can that be, we will go back and investigate the truth about the mermaid!"

"Ah," Yuya turned his head and looked at the slowly moving away pier, and said, "The ship has already left, it's too late."

Hattori Heiji was angry, pinched Yuya's neck and shook it hard: "Damn it! Kamiya, tell me clearly, whose credit is being deducted?"

Yuya rolled his eyes wildly: "Of course it's your commission that's being deducted... Ah - stop shaking, okay, okay, deduct Kudo Shinichi's credit, okay?"

Hattori Heiji immediately let go of his hand when he heard this, and patted Conan's head with a smile: "Then I'm sorry for inconvenience you!"

Conan was stunned: No, what does the puzzle that Edogawa Conan didn't solve have to do with Kudo Shinichi?
