Chapter 343 Crossbow?!
Chapter 343 Crossbow?!
Shimabukuro Kimie said little by little, using somewhat sentimental words,
"I said to Saori at the time, why don't you try drawing the number again this year? What if you win again? If you really win again, doesn't it mean that your great-grandmother won't blame you?"
"Saori listened, hesitated for a moment, and then agreed."
"The same is true for Sumi's number plate."
"She has been looking for the grave of a mermaid for the past few years. I really don't want anyone to disturb the deceased, so I also wanted to give her a dugong arrow."
"Anyway, in my opinion, this dugong arrow is just a few strands of my great-grandmother's hair, not something valuable."
"I, I really don't have any intention of harming anyone!"
When Shimabukuro Kimie spoke the last part, she couldn't help crying, as if she was scared, but Mori Kogoro, Hattori Heiji and even Conan were more inclined to believe that Shimabukuro Kimie felt guilty for acting on her own and causing the death of her friend.
Maori Kogoro couldn't help but sigh at this.
"Hey, Miss Jun Hui, you don't need to hide this kind of thing. It would be better if you told us earlier."
"You don't need to blame yourself. People should condemn the murderer, not you."
Hattori Heiji and Conan also went forward and comforted Shimabukuro Kimie.
Shimabukuro Kimie also slowly wiped away her tears. Although the tears were no longer flowing, the sadness was not so easy to let go.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Bai Masong felt emotional again.
Shimabukuro Kimie is truly a talented person. Even he, who has been wandering between red and black for many years and has seen countless people, could not find any flaws in this "true feeling" performance.
Kogoro Mouri is also an experienced detective, but he was still fooled by him.
Not to mention Hattori Heiji and Conan, they excel in logic, but when it comes to acting, their insight comes more from their familiarity with the actors being played and the comparison of details.
At this moment, facing Shimabukuro Kimie's performance, they could not see any flaws at all.
At this time, Conan and the others felt exactly as Bai Masong had thought. They seemed to vaguely feel that Shimabukuro Kimie seemed to be hiding something, but they also felt that what she said was basically correct.
Therefore, I believed it 90% in my heart.
At this time, Bai Masong saw that the situation was as he expected, so he continued to speak and asked lightly,
"Ms. Shimabukuro, since you already know who won the Dugong Arrow, does that mean you also know that the number plate that Kadowaki Muzo holds is Ms. Sumi's?"
Hakubamatsu's calm tone gave Conan and others the feeling that he was not affected by Shimabukuro Kimie's emotions at all.
This also made Conan and others secretly admire him.
As expected, he is Brother Song! Others cannot learn this kind of "poker face"!
At this time, listening to Bai Basong's question, Shimabukuro Junhui also nodded weakly.
"Yes, but I was a little surprised at first, but when I saw that Sumi didn't come either, I thought she had some kind of deal with Uncle Kadowaki, but who knew it was actually..."
As he spoke, his expression darkened.
Bai Masong nodded slightly.
After hearing Shimabukuro Kimie's answer, and seeing that Hakuba Matsu didn't seem to have discovered anything, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but say,
"Brother Song, Miss Jun Hui should be fine now, how about we..."
"Um,"
Bai Basong understood what Hattori Heiji meant, so he stood up as well.
"Now, let's go find Kadowaki Muzo."
.........................
Not long after, Bai Masong and others returned to the crime scene, which was the Ebihara family.
For the sake of the case handling procedures, Shimabukuro Kimie had to follow everyone back.
After all, in the eyes of Hattori Heiji and others, although what she said before was probably true, she has not been able to completely get rid of suspicion.
As soon as everyone returned to the crime scene, Officer Digging Well called over a police officer he had assigned previously, wanting to ask him if the police team had made any new discoveries during their absence.
"Inspector Dijing, during this time, we have taken statements from everyone present in the residence."
"Everyone said that they had not seen Miss Kuroe Naoko during this period of time."
"At the same time, he also said he had no impression of when she disappeared."
After listening to the police officer's words, Hattori Heiji stepped forward and said,
"Speaking of which, Song-nii, Conan and I know when Miss Naoko left the crowd's sight."
"Oh?"
The well digging officer asked quickly,
"Hattori-san, please tell me."
"I remember that a group of us were quietly keeping vigil together in the inner hall. It was about fifty minutes before Song Ge and I saw the body."
"However, before us, Uncle Maori had already found the body with Xiaolan and Heye, which means it was about forty-five minutes before the body was found."
"Well, that's how it is."
The well-digging officer nodded in understanding.
"It looks like there are actually 45 minutes of free time."
Then he looked at the police officer who was reporting.
"anything else?"
"Also, apart from the people in the inner hall, the other guests were gathered in groups of three or four in various places in the Ebihara family. Their alibis don't seem to be very reliable."
The police officer spoke cautiously.
Hearing this, Maori Kogoro did not find it strange.
"That's normal. We did it because Hattori said from the beginning that we should focus on the guys guarding the inner hall. The others didn't have this restriction, so of course they just ran around randomly."
"Apart from the alibi, is there anything else strange?"
Bai Masong opened his mouth and asked the police officer calmly.
"Strange, strange things?"
The police officer recalled,
"We have searched the entire house, and there doesn't seem to be anything strange."
"Oh yes, it seems a little bit."
The police officer remembered a detail.
"The Ebihara family seems to like crossbows. We found traces of two crossbows on the wall where the deceased died."
what? !
Crossbow?!
After hearing what the police officer said, Conan and Hattori Heiji's eyes suddenly lit up.
They seemed to have captured something keenly, and they were sure that this crossbow arrow was the key to the murderer's method!
