Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

The third day of the mermaid incident.

Gao Cheng and Haibara stood together in front of the smoky shrine warehouse, silently watching the firefighters on the island busy.

When he arrived here, the fire could no longer be stopped, and the warehouse burned all night, and was burned into a scorched ruin as it was three years ago.

Also found a burnt corpse...

"Although it was burnt a bit scorched," the firefighter said with a tired look at the Shimashiro family house, "but it can barely be seen, wearing glasses and blue clothes... It's probably the unaccounted corpse of Saori. Right..."

"But, but..." He Ye and Xiaolan trembled in shock, "The person we saw in the yard...is it a ghost?"

The longevity woman tremblingly walked to the corridor yard, and did not care about everyone, but kept in the house hoarsely shouting: "Junhui! Where are you, Junhui?"

Hattori watched the old man walk by, and said strangely: "Miss Junhui hasn't come back yet?"

"Well," He Ye looked at the lonely longevity woman, worried, "I'd better follow the old woman to have a look..."

"I'll go with you too."

Heye and Xiaolan ran away in a hurry, following the longevity woman who disappeared around the corner. Conan looked serious when watching this scene and said softly: "Hey, Hattori, I remember Miss Junhui said that she had only seen the dentist before. Right? If you use her name to ask, you should know which dentist it is..."

Hattori's face became stiff, and he whispered slightly: "You fool...what are you talking about? Is it possible..."

"Don't pretend to be garlic!" Conan said solemnly, "You should think of it like me now, right? I have a... ominous premonition..."

Gao Cheng regained his consciousness, retracted his gaze from the ruins, walked to the yard and looked at the two Conan, without speaking.

Outside the longevity woman's bedroom, Ye and Xiaolan went to the wooden door with ease, still worrisome between their eyebrows.

"How is it?" Gao Cheng asked, "Where is the longevity woman?"

"I fell asleep temporarily, but I'm still talking about Miss Junhui..."

Xiaolan worried: "Will Miss Junhui also have something wrong?"

Gao Cheng smiled comfortingly: "Don't worry, Miss Junhui will be fine."

Of course nothing will happen, I'm still alive, just under my nose...

Gao Cheng calmly looked at the bedroom of the longevity woman.

After the whole incident became clear and all the impossible had been removed, the final truth had been laid before him. No matter how unexpected it was, the fact was the fact, and the longevity woman should be Junhui Shimadai.

Only the last news...

At noon, a phone call came to the shrine. Uncle Maori finished answering the phone and announced to everyone in a deep voice: "After comparing the tooth shape of the corpse with the record left by Miss Junhui during the treatment...the information is completely consistent..."

"what?"

"How is it possible?"

Hattori swallowed dryly and gritted his teeth: "Damn it! If we were to be more cautious yesterday..."

"Miss Junhui..." The two girls of Xiaolan wiped their tears, "So good Miss Junhui..."

He Ye directly whimpered and cried: "Miss Junhui was with us last night, woooooo..."

Hattori looked at the crying Kazuye, his eyes condensed: "No matter who the murderer is, one thing is certain, and that is that he must not be allowed to continue at large... He is simply not taking human life seriously. The murderer!"

"But why did the murderer kill Miss Junhui? The previous few times were all for the dugong arrow, right?"

Uncle Maori asked strangely: "And why does Miss Junhui wear a special satin look?"

"I'm afraid that Miss Junhui hit something. After killing Ms. Junhui, I wanted to confuse the audience," Hattori thought. "The glass door in the corridor was broken last night. It seems that he came to steal the signature book... Very suspicious, I heard that his fingerprints were also found on the lifebuoy, but now the police can't find anyone else..."

After a pause, the Hattori subconsciously called to Kudo, and turned to Conan's gaze in time to change his words: "Well, Joto, uncle, after seeing the longevity woman, let's go out and look for it together..."

Gao Cheng interrupted: "Let me come here for the longevity woman... Xiao Ai and I will stay and take care of the old woman."

Hattori looked at Gao Cheng strangely, and he was confused about how Gao Cheng was not in a hurry to solve the case.

"Well, I'll leave it to you here."

...

Outside the longevity woman’s bedroom, Uncle Maori, Hattori and Ye left the Shimadaiya Shrine with Ye, while Gao Cheng and others stayed behind, kneeling in silence at the door, and barely talking about the corpse in the warehouse.

"Really? Jun Hui is also gone..." The old man was lying on the bed with an old face and lifelessly, as if he could close his eyes forever at any time.

Xiaolan said with tears in her eyes: "It's all because we didn't follow Miss Junhui, if we didn't let Miss Junhui go to the warehouse alone..."

The old man's voice was tired: "The young lives are gone one by one, but I drag this body to continue to linger... Sorry, can you let me be alone?"

"Old woman," Conan asked anxiously, "I heard that the old woman asked someone to move the mermaid's tomb to the mountain two years ago. Who did you ask to go?"

"What's the use of asking?" The old man gently shook his head, closing his eyes and said sadly, "Because even that person has left me and I will leave first..."

"That's it."

"Well, Conan, don't ask so much at this time."

The guilty Xiaolan pulled Conan away, but Gao Cheng didn't leave, but He Huiyuan stayed.

The longevity woman opened her eyes as much as she felt, and saw Gao Cheng quietly leaning against the door, weakly saying, "Is there anything else?"

"Old lady...or should I call you Miss Junhui?"

Gao Cheng asked calmly, seeing that the old man's complexion remained unchanged, and continued: "The police have already started searching for Mr. Menwaki. I believe it will be found soon."

"Really?" The old man's eyes were dim. "When did you find out?"

"It felt a little uncoordinated at the beginning, but Miss Junhui's makeup skills are really amazing. I never thought that the longevity woman who lived to be 130 years old was actually disguised by Miss Junhui..."

Gao Cheng folded his arms and said lightly: "The first case was that Miss Sumi was hung on the Mermaid Falls, the second case was that Miss Naoko was strangled and hung on a fishing net, and then the third case,'Miss Junhui 'Burn to death in the warehouse...

"If it is only a single case, the murderer may not be determined, but all the mysteries are solved if they are connected. Miss Sumi and Miss Naoko drawing the arrow of the dugong is the key to the case. Miss Junhui, you planned it beforehand. Everything, right?"

Looking at the silent old man, Gao Cheng continued: "The reason for disguising Ms. Sumi as an accidental death is to prevent the police from launching an investigation for homicide and to kill Naoko later. It happened that the weather was bad and the police could not come over. , Your plan went well, and then, taking advantage of the police's footprints, they deliberately said that they would come back to check the roster, and after leaving Xiaolan and the others, they burned'Miss Junhui' in the warehouse...

"But that burnt corpse is actually Kamenwaki Saori who had been killed many days ago. The so-called tooth shape is just a trap... Yes, it was Miss Saori who went to the dentist before and stole her insurance card. , And lent her her insurance card so that she can receive treatment as you...

"Even the Miss Saori that Xiaolan and the others saw was dressed up by you? Because Miss Saori often runs away from home~www.NovelMTL.com~ The spare clothes and glasses stay here..."

Gao Cheng paused and did not continue. He listened to the sound of the waves outside the shrine and asked, "Is the sea behind this?"

"Yes," the old man said, looking at the blue sky, "behind the shrine is the sea..."

"Hattori called Miss Saori, the first time I heard the sound of the waves and...the sobbing of a woman..."

Gao Cheng stood up straight with his back in the bedroom, and put his hands in this way, and exhaled deeply: "You were crying at that time, right? It was in the warehouse, next to Miss Saori's corpse...Miss Junhui, just now , Xiaolan and the others are still sad for your death, do not believe that the kind-hearted Miss Junhui will be killed..."

"Really?" The old man turned his head away, his voice choked.

"Go and surrender," Gao Cheng leaned back, pulling Hui Yuan straight away, "I won't tell others."
