The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 334 Ask the Longevity Lady?

"Mr. Fukuyama is right. There are probably a lot of people waiting for us down there. Let's go down first."

After saying that, everyone walked down the mountain.

Soon, everyone arrived at the Mermaid Waterfall.

At this time, many people had left the place where the Dugong Arrow award ceremony was held before, but some new people had arrived.

Those who dispersed must have been those who did not want to cause trouble. The new ones basically came here to watch the fun because they heard that a murder had happened.

Of course, there were also relatives of Ebihara Sumi among them, but they naturally came here to claim their own family members.

"Shou Mei! Shou Mei..."

As soon as Fukuyama Rokuro came down, a bald middle-aged man with a sad face ran over and immediately took the body of Ebihara Sumi from Fukuyama Rokuro's hands, calling out Ebihara Sumi's name and crying bitterly.

"This is......"

Kogoro Mouri looked at the man crying while holding the body, and asked Shimabukuro Kimie next to him.

"This is Sumi's father,"

Shimabukuro Kimie whispered,

"Uncle Ebihara is a captain, and he has only one daughter, Sumi."

As she said this, Shimabukuro Kimie couldn't help but reveal a hint of sadness in her tone.

She is kind-hearted by nature. Even though she faced the revenge of her mother's murder, she retaliated decisively and without hesitation, and can be described as cruel and ruthless.

However, she and Sumi Ebihara have indeed been friends and besties since childhood. Sumi Ebihara's father is an elder who is very familiar to her and takes good care of her on a daily basis.

At this moment, seeing his pitiful appearance of holding his daughter and crying, Shimabukuro Kimie really felt sad for him.

Some people may think that this is the cat crying over the mouse. After all, she was the one who killed the man, she was the one who killed the man, and she was also the one who was sad.

But perhaps this is the complexity of human nature.

She has hatred towards Sumi Ebihara and the others, but she also has memories of the fun they once had together.

Now, all of this can only be kept deep in her heart, starting from the moment she knew about that incident.

Maori Kogoro looked at Shimabukuro Kimie who seemed quite sad, and thought of her childhood friendship with Ebihara Sumi, and sighed slightly.

"Alas, the dead cannot be resurrected, Miss Jun Hui, please accept my condolences."

"Ah."

Shimabukuro Kimie nodded and didn't say much.

At this time, Bai Masong looked at Xiaolan and Heye who had been waiting for everyone to come back, and asked,

"Have you contacted the Fukui Prefectural Police?"

"We've made contact."

Xiaolan said,

"But they said the sea is too rough right now and they won't be able to get here until tomorrow."

"Let's contact the local police station on American Island first and conduct some self-inspection."

Are the waves too strong?

Hakuba Matsu, Hattori Heiji and others were also stunned when they heard the news.

Then, Hattori Heiji showed a satisfied smile.

"Actually, this is not bad."

"Even though the Fukui Prefectural Police can't get in, we can't get out either."

"Um,"

Conan also smiled confidently.

"In this way, the murderer will definitely not be able to get out."

"This period of time is enough for us to find him."

Listening to the two people's confident words, Bai Masong also nodded.

But...

"I guess there aren't many police officers at the American Island Police Department. It would be difficult to ask them to conduct a self-inspection."

However, Kogoro Mori seemed a little distressed.

"It doesn't matter,"

Bai Masong said calmly,

"Anyway, the prisoner can't escape tonight. As long as we block the harbor of the American Island tomorrow and take extra precautions tonight, the prisoner won't be able to escape easily."

"Yes, that's what I thought too!"

Hattori Heiji nodded in agreement, and as he spoke, he silently turned the baseball cap on his head to the front.

This action also made Yuanshan Heye beside him a little obsessed.

"Ran, let me tell you, whenever Heiji turns his hat around when he's investigating a case, it means he's serious!"

"Yeah, Heiji looks pretty cool when he turns his hat around."

Xiaolan smiled and said words of agreement, then teased,

"But, when you saw him just now, he was so cute!"

"Hey, what did you say?"

......

Although the two were at the crime scene, this kind of experience was as common to them as eating and drinking, so they were not overly nervous and instead started joking with each other.

On the other side, Hattori Heiji also asked Shimabukuro Kimie,

"Excuse me, can we see the longevity lady tonight?"

"Eh? You want to meet my great-grandmother."

Shimabukuro Kimie was a little surprised, and made a thoughtful gesture, then nodded hesitantly.

"Okay, but Great Grandma might be a little tired, so she probably won't talk to you too much."

"It's okay, we're just asking casually."

Hattori Heiji said with a smile.

Originally, they still wanted to find the father of Monkyou Saori, but...

When they saw this guy today, they finally understood what the drunkard that Fukuyama Rokuro was talking about looked like.

Looking at Mr. Kadowaki Muzo's flushed face and staggering gait, and smelling the alcohol on him, Hattori Heiji knew that if he asked him, he might as well ask the 130-year-old longevity lady!

After getting Shimabukuro Kimie's consent, Hattori Heiji took the initiative to approach Hakuba Matsu and wanted to discuss things with him.

"Brother Song, do you think we should go look for this longevity lady?"

Bai Masong felt speechless after hearing what Hattori Heiji said.

You've already asked, is it possible for me to say no?

Feeling Bai Masong's speechless gaze, Hattori Heiji chuckled.

"Oh, I want to hear your opinion."

"should,"

After listening to Hattori Heiji's explanation, Bai Masong said calmly,

"First of all, I was also present at the Dugong Festival. Miss Ebihara's expression must have indicated that she had obtained the Dugong Arrow, so the last person who didn't come must have been her. Also, she didn't have a number plate on her, so there was something wrong."

"That's right!"

Hattori Heiji stroked his chin and nodded.

"It seems that the murderer was most likely going after her dugong arrow."

"So, Brother Bai Ma, do you want to go to the Longevity Lady and ask if anyone knows the winning number?"

Conan also came over and asked Bai Ma Song.

"Not only that,"

Bai Masong shook his head.

"I still need to confirm a few things."

"Issues?"

Hattori Heiji and Conan were both stunned.

"What's the matter?"

Conan asked curiously.

"Yes, Brother Song, what is so important? Are you still hiding it from us?"

Hattori Heiji also said the same thing.

Bai Masong still had a calm expression on his face and shook his head slightly.

"I'm not hiding it from you, but I plan to tell you after I confirm it."
