However, she would rather Saori keep her sins and paranoia a secret forever.

“Uncle, did Saori behave in a strange way before she disappeared?” Conan asked.

Without hesitation, Fukuyama Rokuro told Conan, “She would be scared to death when she saw a big wave, fearing that the mermaids were coming to seek revenge on her.”

“revenge?”

Winnet took the initiative to cut off the topic. “It’s because she lost the dugong arrow. Maybe she went into the warehouse to look for the dugong arrow last night, which led to the misfortune.”

“Yeah, I think so too. After all, Sumi…” Fukuyama choked and stopped mentioning his ex-fiancee.

He led the way, and to some extent, he was also monitoring them to ensure that they would not mess around in Kadowaki’s house, and led them to a room with a distinctive style. There was a poster of a kung fu star on the door, and the bookcase was filled with photography-related books, with mascots like Pokémon piled on top.

As soon as Conan entered the door, he crawled around like the large beetle doll under Saori’s cabinet, looking for something. He walked around, rummaged through drawers and cabinets, and looked at Fukuyama somewhat unwillingly.

“Uncle, is there something missing in this room?”

“Ah… Come to think of it, Saori’s equipment for leaving home is indeed missing. It’s a travel bag that she would bring with her whenever she ran away from home. It contained toiletries and documents. However, she almost always went to Kimie’s house when she ran away from home, so Kimie’s house had Saori’s spare glasses and a change of clothes.”

“So, if Saori ran away from home, she might have gone to Miss Kimie’s house?”

Conan saw that the equipment for leaving home was not there, so he reasoned. Kogoro looked at him speechlessly, “Please, if that’s the case, there’s no need for Miss Kimie to hide it from us, and she’s just as worried about Saori’s safety!”

Conan’s eyes were sharp.

“Maybe she didn’t go to Kimie’s house at the beginning, but on the night of Mioko’s death. In that case, Kimie would think that she came to seek protection, so she didn’t tell anyone about her – she was afraid that the murderer who didn’t know whether he existed would know the news. And Kimie dressed up as Saori to lure out the murderer, so maybe that’s the case.” He said and pretended to be young, “This is just my guess.”

“Don’t be stupid, how is this possible!”

Kogoro thought it was too unbelievable. Winette didn’t mind continuing to mislead Conan, “If that’s the case, it makes sense that Miss Kimie insisted on going to the warehouse alone.”

“Well, if Miss Kimie thought that there was a murderer who wanted to harm Saori, she would assume that if she disguised herself as Saori near her home, she might be able to find a suspicious person and then catch the murderer. Saori would no longer have to hide… Conan does have a point.”

“What are you talking about? When the fire broke out last night, didn’t you and Eri see a figure that looked very much like Saori in the yard?”

“In that case, doesn’t it possible that it was Miss Junhui?” Winnet tilted her head slightly.

“Then why is she staring at Xiaolan and the others so mysteriously?”

She couldn’t answer it, but Conan was there to explore it.

He asked Fukuyama if he had any photos of Saori, and he showed them the album of photos from the Yaobikuni movie, which contained Saori’s headshot. Kogoro asked Xiaolan to identify her, but it was too dark and so far away that it was impossible to see her face clearly. Conan focused on the film footage. Winnet thought to herself, “His intuition is really dangerous.” However, she had never thought of hiding the fact that Kimie was the longevity woman from the beginning. Although Kimie herself was very confident in her disguise, Winnet felt that her mother’s fake death might not be a secret, and consensus was a terrible thing, especially since the island was closed and united. She thought of extreme political gangs, and there was nothing those people couldn’t do.

“It really looked like there was a mermaid swimming in the ocean.”

“Yes, this storm at sea looks very realistic.”

These behind-the-scenes photos record the filming process and some wonderful scenes. In terms of effects and makeup, they are indeed as professional as Junhui once said.

“By the way, is the dugong an ugly mermaid or a mermaid?” Miss Winnet asked at an inappropriate time.

“Artworks always need to be beautified,” Fukuyama said. “The reason why this movie was successful and won the gold medal was because of Saori’s photography and Kimie’s special makeup. However, a storm really arose at sea the following year. No one expected that my parents, Kimie’s parents, and Saori’s mother would be missing at sea. It was really fate’s trick.”

After hearing his statement, Winette realized that Junhui’s mother had kept it a secret for nearly three years until she died in a fire in the warehouse three years ago. She once again thought that she was right. Even with the ability to disguise, it would not be possible to keep it a secret for so long in an environment where everyone was familiar with her. There was a good example around her, Mingmei was suspected by Bourbon – but was finally seen through.

Conan was lost in thought.

Winette guessed that he already knew the truth about Changshou Po, because her disappearance at the same time as Junhui was a perfect coincidence. After figuring this out, the famous detective would definitely think of the truth about the fire three years ago and regard Junhui as a suspicious person. However, correct reasoning can lead to wrong results.

Amid her silent attention, Conan stealthily left the room.

It seems that we need to turn on the team voice.

Winnet took this opportunity to check if there was anything missing. After a round, she focused on the album. The Junhui in the album was cute and lively, with a genuine smile. She was once happy and loved these friends from the bottom of her heart. However, it was not her turn to pity her. She was very calm, but Kogoro chattered a lot of useless things and asked about their simple interpersonal relationship, which made Fukuyama fall into the cocoon of memories and made Winnet’s ears calloused. She reminded him that Junhui had not been found yet.

His brows furrowed, a look of pain on his face.

Miss Winnett didn’t fit the atmosphere. She felt that Junhui would soon wake up naturally, and she couldn’t really sleep all night. Soon, they would find Junhui under control. There was no need for a great detective to come out. They just needed Junhui to testify and use that crazy legend to explain their madness; it was just like that. They all agreed that it couldn’t stand up to logical scrutiny. However, the fact that they burned her mother to death was completely out of line with logic.

Kogoro felt that he had gained nothing. He stared at the messy courtyard with grass and could see that Benzou Motowa had no interest in life. After a while of contemplation, Kogoro thought that the incident was related to Benzou and he had to be arrested first. At this time, Conan came in as if nothing had happened. Xiaolan complained that he took a long time to go to the toilet, but she still smiled and passed it off. Conan asked Kogoro to go to Kimie’s house in a roundabout way, gather the villagers, and explain the progress of the investigation. The ambitious Kogoro suddenly felt that he was fine again. Everything was bright and he started to set off.

“Then I’ll go back and look for Hattori and the others,” said Winette.

“Is it okay for you to be alone?”

“Well, I’ve gradually become familiar with it. And Miss Jun Hui hasn’t been found yet. I have to pray for her.”

“Then let’s go first.”

Miss Winnet waved her hands, as if she had never knocked Junhui unconscious.

Leaving the search for Kimie to the detective, Miss Winnett decided to stay away from the scene to avoid leaving any possibilities for association. She returned to the hotel and briefly explained the whole story to Cheng Shi, and the two set out on the road to Sumi’s house. When they arrived in front of the mourning hall, the village name who was guarding told her that Hattori and Kazuha asked questions and left. It was about Benzo, and after the banquet, Benzo followed them and left.

“They should have gone up the mountain to look for Benzo Kadowaki,” said Winnett.

“There are no ships going out to sea right now,” Cheng Shi agreed with her. “If he wants to escape, he can only go to the mountains.”

She took action. Winnet actually didn’t want anyone to go into the mountains, because there might be traces of Jun Hui’s mother’s tomb and the fake tomb she built. And now it seems that in addition to Jun Hui, other villagers may also know the location of the cemetery. Although it is not a flaw, it is still a place that Jun Hui does not want to be touched. Now she can already think a little bit about other people, and she has been carrying out superficial love for many years.

She was already familiar with the terrain of the mountain, and Jun Hui personally led her through it. The mountain had a small curvature, and a dirt road was built at the entrance as the way up the mountain. There was also a wooden, inscribed sign nearby, which was almost the only path for outsiders.

Although Winnett thought Hattori had a lot of personality, he was not like an elementary school student who only chose zebra crossings or low walls – he didn’t take the usual path. She looked at the sky. The night was getting darker and the evening wind was very cold. It probably wouldn’t be long before they would automatically return. But she was a man of action and went straight to Kimie’s mother’s grave. She thought that maybe Kadowaki Benzo knew where her mother’s grave was, or even the whole village knew it.

Regardless of Benzo’s whereabouts, she only needs to prevent such a small accident. It is better to take precautions before it happens. Looking for Hattori is just a secondary excuse. Before long, Benzo will be caught by the police for questioning, and they will find out that he is just a slightly greedy man who wants to make money even from dead people. She came to the real “Mermaid Tomb”, and the bad news that she was worried about came true. In front of the mound that was so simple that it made people suspect that it was not properly buried, there was a small bronze jar with incense used for sacrifice, and the smell was fragrant.

“Strange, where did the tombstone go?”

Cheng Shi heard Winnet tell him the destination, and naturally knew that this was the grave of Jun Hui’s mother. The mound was empty. Winnet remembered that it was originally a scribbled stone without even a word engraved on it. If it weren’t on this island famous for mermaids, it would probably be regarded as a guy who had violated a taboo and was forced to hide his name.

“Shh!”

Winnett made a shushing gesture. On the trampled road leading here, there was a sign that had been broken by the rain. It was put there by Junhui to prevent others from entering. And the word “danger” was not deceptive. The real tomb was the same as the fake one, standing on the edge of the cliff. She also took great pains to respect the deceased and specially built a similar one to prevent her rest from being disturbed, but in the end, it was disturbed.

Because of a young man and woman.

Under Cheng Shi’s puzzled gaze, Winnet carefully pushed aside the shade of the tree in front of her. On the sloped cliff with almost no foothold, Winnet leaned her body to ensure balance. Fortunately, she was not wearing thick-soled shoes or riding boots, but light and reliable travel shoes.

Look down.

On a crooked tree growing in the crevice of the cliff, an arm of the same brown and black color as the trunk was tightly grasping it. Hattori was like a rope used for connection, with buckles tied up and down, and the other end was Kazuha. At this moment, in Winnet’s opinion, the two looked at each other affectionately between life and death. She might not have disturbed them, but this small tree growing in the crevice of the cliff was already struggling. Under the weight of two people, the trunk had bent and cracked.

However, the tree trunk is quite solid, and the fragility is only an appearance. Miss Winnett had no sense of crisis and planned to sit down and watch the show. She saw Kazuha below taking out something silvery and reflecting, and stabbed Hattori’s back of the hand, wanting him to give up saving her. Seeing the unfortunate couple like this – Hattori still didn’t let go despite the pain reflex, and Kazuha burst into tears, Miss Winnett was satisfied with the real-life love story and teased the two.

“It’s really hot!” she said, “But what are you two doing in a place like this? Are you going to commit suicide for love?” – The scene was extremely awkward. Hattori heard Winnet’s voice, but he couldn’t turn his head to look at her. Although He Ye could see her, she didn’t dare to move at all under Hattori’s instructions.

“Please, Miss Winnet, please find someone to rescue us quickly.” Hattori shouted, not having the time to respond to Winnet’s joke.

“Save you, that’s easy! As long as you promise to kiss me after you come up, I will save you.” Winette teased in a very frivolous way. Cheng Shi covered her face. The couple in crisis really didn’t have the energy to argue with her. After the parties felt it was boring, Winette jumped and stepped on the trunk of the crooked tree. The trunk shook slightly, and Hattori almost thought the tree was going to break.

“What should I do if even you jump down?” Hattori was very troubled and he almost didn’t have the strength to speak.

“You still have the energy to speak,” Winnet tilted her head, “In that case, you should be able to hold on for a while longer.”

She wanted to climb up with Heye. She told her, “Hold Hattori with both hands, quickly move up and hug his neck, I will pull you over.” Seeing someone come to rescue her, Heye, who originally wanted to sacrifice herself, also ignited the desire to survive. She asked Hattori to get ready, and then, as Winnet said, she quickly alternated her arms and hugged Hattori’s neck like climbing a tree trunk. The distance between the two was extremely close, and Heye’s chest was pressed against Hattori’s shoulders, and their faces were almost touching.

“Don’t get so close, idiot!” Hattori turned his face away shyly.

But Winnet didn’t understand their double-talk. If it were her, she would have asked for a kiss from Ai. Winnet was no longer off the track. She held out her hand for Kazuha to grab. She was a little scared when she let go of Hattori. After all, Winnet’s appearance didn’t look very strong, and Kazuha was not confident about her weight (she had a lot of muscles).

Winnett felt relaxed. If Heye had not learned Aikido, with strong upper limbs and light weight, this action would be difficult to complete. Heye felt the pull from Winnett, and in a trance, she squeezed in front of Winnett. Winnett’s legs intertwined with the tree trunk, like a gymnast, giving up the standing position to Heye.

“Can you come up on your own, Hattori?”

Hattori said it was no problem, “Without that woman dragging us down, it will be a piece of cake.”

“Hmph, I didn’t ask you to save me!” Kazuha turned her face away, but still secretly glanced at her because she was worried about whether Hattori could come up.

What trouble, these two people, Miss Winnet thought boredly, making a sound like a cuckoo urging. After the two people stood close together on the tree trunk, Winnet called Chengshi’s pseudonym.

“Are you ready, doctor?” Winnet asked.

“There’s a cliff below, be careful.” Cheng Shi warned.

“No problem, I’m very flexible,” she said.

Hattori and Kazuha were still confused about the situation, and Miss Winnett did something that would make people sweat even in a kung fu movie; she suddenly relaxed her waist and drooped down the cliff, but her legs firmly grasped the tree trunk, like an acrobat in the air, she swung a circle by inertia, and then flew upwards. In the thrilling air, she stepped on a protruding rock and took off again. Cheng Shi, who was supposed to grab her hand, didn’t even grab her feet, and the whole person landed gracefully like a diver.

“…Has Miss Winnett received special training in the circus?” He Ye went from horror to shock to numbness.

“There are a lot of street performances in London, but she seems to live in the countryside,” Hattori said. “She has practiced martial arts, unlike you who are half-baked. Gong… that kid said that she has the ability to win even in international competitions. If she gave up being a pastor and switched to being an athlete, she would definitely be very popular.”

He Ye nodded, not wanting to refute the “half-baked” woman. This exaggerated woman made her feel no need to compare herself with her.

“Doctor, please hold my legs.” Winnet dug a hole with a stone and hooked her heels into it. She bent down and held out her hands to the two people in a handstand position. “Who will go first?”

“I think it would be better if you ask someone to come over and get a rope.”

Looking at her like this, Hattori was afraid that her slender waist would break.

“If you’re a man, you’ll be dawdled.” Winnett grabbed his hand and lifted it slightly like a sit-up, and Hattori grabbed her trousers and climbed up. Then the two men grabbed her feet, and Winnett grabbed Kazuha and used her lighter weight to pull her up.

“It was a close call.”

“It was because you touched someone else’s tombstone and accidentally fell down!”

“Who would do such a stupid thing as to stab me with an arrow?”

“I want you to be… saved…”

The noisy couple gradually quieted down. No one looked at each other, and it seemed more like they were too shy to talk than to have a cold war.

Miss Winnett raised her hand: “What about kissing?”

“Please, stop joking!”

The two are unusually in sync.

Miss Winette was scolded and was very unhappy, hiding behind Cheng Shi. The 26-year-old doctor “Miss” was also embarrassed by this and smiled like a peacemaker. Winette was questioned by Hattori about the situation. When she learned that Kogoro had called the villagers, she hurried over; his cell phone was heroically sacrificed.

Kimie’s house is now very lively. While Winette was looking for Hattori, Kimie woke up wearing Saori’s clothes. She was lucky that her struggle was heard by Miss Kuriyama, and Kisaki Eri untied her and checked her injuries. In addition to cooking, this wife also has a lot of experience in dealing with injuries. Conan and Kogoro rushed back to the scene, and were greatly shocked when they saw the injured Kimie; the detective boy’s reasoning was stillborn. However, out of protection for the injured, Kisaki Eri asked them to come back to ask Kimie what happened later, because Kimie was still a little unconscious.

……

When Hattori and Winette arrived, it was also the time for visiting. Jun Hui was lying on the white bed with a pale face, and her head was wrapped in white gauze, like a candy wrapped in white candy paper, as if it would break into powder at any time. With Xiaolan’s support, she slowly sat up, slightly lowered her head, as if she had just woken up from a nightmare.

“Ms. Kimie, what exactly happened last night?” Kogoro went straight to the point.

“Saori…she suddenly found me last night and hoped that I could let her hide for a while and asked me to keep this secret from everyone. I agreed.” She hesitated to speak, and this part was obviously just a prologue.

“What about the person who attacked you? Is he the murderer? Also, Xiaolan saw someone dressed like Saori last night. Do you have any impression of her?”

“I think that’s Saori herself.”

“That’s impossible, Miss Kimie. The warehouse was already on fire at that time.” Kogoro’s voice suddenly changed, “Ms. Kimie, did you disguise yourself as Saori?”

Jun Hui shook her head slowly, straightened up as much as she could, and spoke almost tremblingly. Although her acting was a bit exaggerated, it was also very vivid, with the qualities of a horror movie character, and this was also the pain and horror of Saori and others’ terrible actions.

“I did dress up as Saori, but I was just trying to lure out the ‘murderer’. However, it wasn’t the murderer that showed up, but Saori. She was the one who stole the list, and also the one who attacked me. She took the key to the warehouse.”

After that, she took the initiative to confirm the detective boy’s guess, calmly dropping bombs one after another: she was the longevity woman; the person who was burned to death three years ago was actually her mother, but Saori believed that the longevity woman was unharmed even after being entangled in the flames.

“Before she attacked me, she asked me where my great-grandmother was. I didn’t tell her, and then she attacked me. She said she had found the tomb of the mermaid, retrieved the dugong’s arrow, and said…”

“What?” Conan asked impatiently.

“She said she had gained immortality, like Changshou Po. I thought she was crazy and tried to persuade her not to believe it, but she just thought I was deceiving her, and then she attacked me. I don’t know what happened after that.”

“Did she run into the burning warehouse by herself? She’s crazy.” Kogoro said with emotion, and then based on what Kimie said, he believed that Saori was related to the previous two accidents. If it was Saori who was missing, she could have attacked them in secret, and the mermaid’s tomb and the dugong’s arrow corresponded to the information of the two cases respectively.

Whether it was Kimie’s secret or Saori’s crazy behavior, it was hard to believe for a while.

But detectives are good at finding corroborating evidence. Hattori and Conan quickly found the cane used to attack Kimie, and they handed it over to the Fukui Prefecture police (who had been called in by Kogoro) for identification. The fingerprints on it matched those on Saori’s personal belongings, which seemed to confirm Kimie’s statement.

“Kudo, how should I put it? This is really too bizarre. Would someone really go to the center of a fire to prove the so-called immortality?”

Conan stood still. He frowned, racking his brains to find no other possibilities. Some fragmented information could not be pieced together, but his logical thinking gave him a solution – fear makes people crazy – after obtaining the dugong arrow and the mermaid bone, a superstitious and crazy person could do anything.

“Hattori, you said you saw the mermaid’s tomb, right? Was there any sign of it being dug up?”

he asked him.

“It’s very likely, because the tombstone fell down when I touched it lightly, and someone burned incense in front of it before. But it rained not long ago, so I can’t see any specific traces.”

“Did they dig it up and then bury it again?”

“Ah, it’s not a grave robbery after all. Besides, if Saori firmly believed that it was the grave of the mermaid, she would probably have filled it up out of fear of retaliation.”

After he said that, he also understood the idea of ​​going to the grave site. Although it was incredible, it also opened a path for the whole case. Following Miss Sumi to find the mermaid’s grave, taking away Miss Naoko’s dugong arrow, and finally looking for the longevity woman; he thought Saori thought the longevity woman was in the warehouse, so there was a fire later and she threw herself into the fire. It was both reluctant and reasonable, and there was no second explanation. Although Kimie had a motive to kill Saori, she could not have committed the crime in the first two cases, and the final way of tying her up and beating her was impossible for one person to accomplish. Even the warehouse key found later (newly installed after reconstruction) was found to have Saori’s fingerprints.

This time he did not anesthetize Kogoro and let him tell the story quietly.

The first case may have been an accident, but the second case was probably because Naoko saw Saori and took the initiative to meet her, and Saori killed her in order to snatch the dugong arrow. It rained that night, so she would not be suspected if she found Kimie wet. When it was mentioned that Kimie was the longevity woman, the villagers except Fukuyama were not surprised, but they regretted not telling Kimie and chose to let her take over the identity of the longevity woman – they believed that this was the reason for the terrible consequences.

Although there are subtle differences, the results are indeed the same.
