Conan: Developing business in Kexue World

Chapter 145 Solving the Mermaid Incident
"Who is the murderer?"

Conan continued to reason: "The murderer intentionally created the illusion of an accidental death when he killed Miss Sumi; but when he killed Naoko, he did not conceal the possibility of homicide at all. You may wish to think about it, this difference represents What's the meaning?"

Jue Ding Police Department: "What do you mean by that?"

Conan: "When Miss Shoumei was found, the police couldn't rush to the island to handle the case immediately because of the rough sea. But according to the general situation, they should have arrived at the scene that night. If it was a homicide In the case of the case, the police will definitely investigate it strictly, so that the murderer will not be able to move at all, and he created the illusion of an accident just to avoid this situation."

"In other words, long before the murderer killed Miss Sumi, he had already made a plan to kill Miss Naoko."

Fukuyama Rokuro still had doubts: "This is wrong, and he didn't know that Naoko would draw the arrow. No one would know until Changshou Po announced the winners."

Conan: "That's right, if the murderer's purpose was not to capture those dugong arrows, there would be no reason to attack the person who got the dugong arrows. These false appearances created by the murderer were purely to mislead the police investigation, so It's a blindfold."

"What?" Everyone straightened up in surprise.

Conan: "The reason why the murderer made Miss Naoko's death to show obvious signs of homicide is to let everyone gather at the scene of the murder at this moment, so that he can continue his murder. The third murder has been planned, and the murderer's actions are completely planned by Zhou Xiang and the result of practice. It is definitely not a crime on the spur of the moment or on the spur of the moment."

"I believe that this complete set of plans can be designed before the celebration..."

"Masaka?" Fukuyama Rokuro's expression changed, he thought of someone.

"That is, the person who knew in advance that Ms. Shoumei and Ms. Naoko would be shot by the dugong's arrow. Therefore, the murderer is you—Longevity Woman." Conan revealed the answer, and everyone looked over.

Xiaolan and Yuanzi were surprised, "Changshou Po is the murderer?"

The villagers also talked about it.

Fukuyama Rokuro turned around and reprimanded: "Don't be joking, okay. Longevity Po is 130 years old, what can she do?"

Conan said: "What if there is an executor?"

"Executor?"

Conan: "In the case of Ms. Naoko's murder, if the culprits were not Mr. Kadowaki and Mr. Fukuyama, then there is only one person who is most likely to commit this crime, and that is Miss Junhui."

Everyone froze in astonishment.

Fukuyama Rokuro came back to his senses, his face was ugly, and he said loudly: "But the third victim is Jun Hui!!"

Conan asked: "What if the charred corpse in the warehouse is not Miss Jun Hui?"

"what?"

Jue Ding put his arms on his chest and questioned, "But the traces of dental treatment on the corpse are exactly the same as Miss Jun Hui's medical records at the dentist's place."

Xiaolan also asked: "Didn't Dad know this too? Miss Junhui went to the dentist a few days ago."

Conan said: "Yes, she did. She said she went with Saori."

"Could it be that……"

Conan: "Yes, in fact, it was Saori who went to treat her teeth. Miss Junhui was going to the dentist with Saori, and when Saori was not paying attention, she stole her insurance card. Then pretend to be kind, Let her temporarily use her own insurance card to see a doctor. In this way, the information at the dentist will naturally be Miss Jun Hui's record. "

"Next, after she killed Saori in the shrine's warehouse, she set fire to the entire warehouse. Based on the tooth shape of the charred corpse, the police would naturally mistakenly believe that the deceased was Miss Junhui."

Xiaolan asked: "Then, who is that figure with dyed tea hair and glasses that we saw in the yard?"

Conan: "It must be Ms. Jun Hui's cross-dressing. Including the morning of the celebration, some people saw her in this dress. I think Ms. Saori should be the first to be killed, but the warehouse was burned at the end. In order to reduce The question of the charred corpse in the warehouse is why she let you see the figure, and by doing so, she can put the blame on Saori."

Jueding police department hugged his chest and said: "But, this is entirely your reasoning."

Conan showed evidence: "I just called the dentist to confirm. They said that Miss Jun Hui who received treatment was a girl with short brown hair and glasses."

The Juding Police Department stood up, "So, Shimabukuro Junhui should still be staying in a corner of the island, waiting for a chance to escape safely at any time. Well, let's search the island thoroughly." , it is necessary to act.

Conan interrupted him, "It's not necessary at all."

"what?"

Conan: "Miss Junhui, you are in this room now."

"What did you say? Where is it?" Jueding police looked around.Some villagers looked at Longevity Po.

Xiaolan couldn't believe it, "No way, I didn't see her at all."

Conan: "Mr. Fukuyama once mentioned to me that Ms. Junhui's special effects makeup skills are superb, and she once won a gold medal."

"Yes." Fukuyama Rokuro confirmed in surprise.

Jue Ding's police officer put his hips on his hips and taunted: "You mean she sneaked in disguised as someone, right? She's not Kaitou Kidd, how could she be perfectly disguised as someone else."

Conan said: "You're right. It's very difficult to completely pretend to be someone else, but if this character doesn't appear often, everyone's impression of her is only when she wears heavy makeup during celebrations. The difficulty will be greatly reduced.”

Everyone looked at the long-lived woman who was sitting dangerously in the middle of the room, and said to the police department: "But, this person is too short."

Conan: "Think about it, didn't a strange skeleton appear from the warehouse in the fire three years ago? At that time, the lower body of the skeleton had no foot bones, so the villagers on the island thought, That skeleton must be that of a mermaid. I think it might be the skeleton of a woman whose legs were bent and fixed with rope or something, and then burned to death."

"If my reasoning is correct, it should be Miss Jun Hui's..."

"It's my mother." Changshou Po suddenly spoke, and the voice belonged to Jun Hui.

Jun Hui, who played the role of the longevity woman, opened the belt fixed on her leg, and stood up slowly under the horrified eyes of everyone. There were still dents on her leg from being restrained by the belt for a long time.

Jun Hui looked into Changshou Po's face and said: "After she took over the mission of Changshou Po from her grandma, she acted desperately just for this small island. This is the end of her tragic life as a woman."

Fukuyama Rokulang pointed at Junhui tremblingly, "You, you are..."

Jun Hui pulled the right side of her cheek with both hands, tearing off a layer of old skin like peeling off the skin, and even the silver hair fell off along with the skin.

Everyone watched this scene in horror.

Jun Hui took the mask, and praised Mao Li indifferently: "You actually know that I am pretending, big detective. I have always been very confident in this old-age makeup." She said, using the mask on her face to pretend The mole was removed, and the exposed skin was torn off by the way, and the hands were a pair of old leather gloves, which flicked on the hands after they were removed.

Conan explained: "Actually, when we were looking for the roster, you said "my great-grandmother would never get the roster". At that time, seeing your unhesitating attitude, I doubted it."

Jun Hui said: "Really?"

Xiaolan still couldn't believe it, and asked, "But, when we first met Changshou Po, we obviously heard your voice."

Jun Hui: "Actually, that's just the voice I recorded on the tape in advance."

"But why did you do this, Jun Hui!" Fukuyama Rokuro stood up with sweat on his face and asked, "Aren't the three of them our friends who grew up together?"

Jun Hui said: "In order to avenge my parents, even the friends who grew up together are the same."

The Jueding police department was surprised: "Could it be the one who set fire to the warehouse three years ago?"

Jun Hui said: "Yes, because they didn't get the dugong arrow at the celebration that day, they got drunk and set fire to the warehouse to vent their anger. After seeing my mother enter the warehouse pretending to be a long-lived woman, they wanted to try her Is it really a symbol of immortality? If it wasn’t for Saori who panicked because she lost the arrow a week ago, I never would have thought that this period of time would have passed three years ago.”

Fukuyama Rokuro asked: "But, didn't your mother die because of going to sea five years ago?"

Jun Hui said: "One person has to play two roles. My mother thinks it's easier to carry out the identity of a long-lived woman from ordinary times, so as to create the illusion of being killed in the sea."

Fukuyama Rokuro said angrily: "In this case, why didn't you tell me after the fire, we didn't know that your mother was in the warehouse!"

Jun Hui lowered her head: "Actually, when the fire broke out, my mother was in the fire scene and called me." Jun Hui, I will be counting on you from now on. Mom likes this island so much. So, please don't let Changshou That's how she died.'"

"But, I never thought of it." Jun Hui shed tears, and then she opened her eyes and glared: "After Sazhi lost the arrow, she said to me like this, 'If you don't want to give me the arrow, just give me the arrow. Tell me about the place of the tomb, it’s the tomb where the mermaid’s skeleton was buried in the warehouse. I want to be like her, like the Longevity Woman, who was engulfed in flames and survived safely. I don’t know how good it would be.” "

"So, I absolutely can't forgive her, and Sumi and Naoko."

"It's actually very easy to find them. As long as I lie to the arrow, I will tell you the location of the mermaid's tomb. When they heard it, their expressions all changed."

Jun Hui looked lonely: "That's my mother, my mother and I built my mother's tomb."

Kenta sighed.

Heiji also made a sound, and they listened for a while.

"It's not just you two."
