Zongman: People in Conan, raising cats and mice

To be honest, if he had known that this commission would be like this, Hattori Heiji would never have come.

The key point is that there was a commission of 50,000 yen in the letter. Although 50,000 yen is not a lot, it is still money after all. It would be unsafe to send it back like this, which led him to come and find out.

In order to return the commission and find out the situation, Hattori Heiji boarded the island.

He didn't expect the fact to be like this. He lost interest in an instant and wanted to go home, but he happened to meet Matsumoto Akira and others.

"Fifty thousand yen is indeed not a lot, no wonder you are reluctant to accept this commission--" Conan nodded thoughtfully.

Hattori Heiji immediately reached out and tapped Conan's head gently.

Normally, he wouldn't do this to a child, but when it comes to Conan, he doesn't know why he can't always treat him as a pure child.

"What nonsense are you talking about! I never take a penny from any commission I receive. This time I just want to return the 50,000 yen!"

"Did the client accept it?" Conan asked back aggrievedly, covering his head.

"She did accept it, but she probably thought I didn't think the money was enough, so she took out another 50,000 and tried to force it on me. Luckily I ran away quickly!"

Hattori Heiji shook his head. You know, for a famous detective like him, how could a mere 50,000 or 100,000 yen be enough to pay his appearance fee?

Even if we help find cats and dogs, the cost will be far more than this amount.

After all, for famous detectives of their level, if someone comes to them just to find cats and dogs, then the two parties must have some kind of connection.

Moreover, the cats and dogs they are looking for are either of extraordinary significance or of special breeds. Naturally, the client will not be stingy and will be willing to spend any amount of money to get the cats and dogs back.

When the important name was exposed, some information suddenly flashed in Matsumoto Akira's mind like a spark of electric carbide.

Saori Kadowaki, shouldn't she have died when Hattori Heiji received that letter?

The previous mention of the American Island had not evoked this memory, but this time, the information came flooding back to my mind.

If it were in one's original body, the memory would be easier to recall, after all, the memory ability of that body has also been enhanced.

However, although the client was not dead, which was inconsistent with his memory, Matsumoto Akira, who had long been accustomed to his unreliable memory, did not care too much.

At this moment, he had so many things in his mind that he didn't know how to deal with the case.

In general, the three girls including Kadowaki Saori set fire to the warehouse, which directly led to the death of Shimabukuro Kimie's mother in the fire.

To be honest, Matsumoto Akira really couldn't understand how the police conducted the investigation back then.

There must be a problem here!

A person is a person. How can we conclude that a body is not a human being just because its lower half is smashed by a collapsed object and then turns into pieces after being burned by flames, leaving only the lower half of the body?

Instead of speculating that it is not a human body, it is better to think about whether there is something wrong with the lower body. Isn’t this possibility more likely?

And that fire, with the door obviously locked, and a person burned to death inside, it didn't look like suicide at all.

It was believable that the fire could burn down the warehouse, but it was unbelievable that even the steel locks could be melted.

The temperature of pure arson is not that high, so it is certain that the lock is in the locked state.

No matter how you look at it, it is puzzling that there has been no progress in this case since then.

However, Matsumoto Akira changed his mind and realized something else: Shimabukuro Kimie was called back by her mother before she died.

From then on, she began to play the role of her mother, or rather, the role that her mother originally played.

In terms of actual seniority, she should be playing her own great-grandmother.

In the eyes of others, her mother may not exist, or her mother may have passed away long ago.

In this case, when Shimabukuro Kimie returns, she not only has to play herself, but also her long-deceased great-grandmother.

She forcibly covered up the death of the person who was supposed to have died in the warehouse, causing the police to discover that there were no deaths on the island during their investigation.

So, if there were no casualties, where did the body left behind after the warehouse fire come from?

For the local police, instead of going to great lengths to trace the source of this non-local body, it would be better to allow the media to publicize it and gain some benefits for the local area.

This cannot be blamed on the police. After all, if someone died locally, it would be easier to handle. But if no one died and a foreigner without any identification appeared, don't expect the police to conduct a full investigation.

More importantly, Japan's household registration system is actually not perfect.

Although its modern household registration system was established quite early, its level of perfection cannot be compared with that of other countries.

Just as Matsumoto Akira and others can easily insert fake identities for Conan and Haibara Ai, there are many people who can also insert other identities using similar methods.

Moreover, after these identities were inserted, although everyone knew they were fake, they became real identities in the household registration records.

This is mainly because the local household registration system is not connected to the Internet, or the country has not yet established a unified household registration center with Internet access.

In other words, the household registration of all people born locally exists only in the local area. Even if investigation is conducted in other places in the country, there is no way to find out. The only way to investigate the household registration is to go to the local area.

For example, it is possible to call local personnel to conduct an investigation, but wouldn't this make it easier to insert a false identity?

Similarly, in the absence of a national unified household registration center, how can the police investigate a foreigner who died in the local area and has no identification?

They have no ability to investigate situations outside the area, nor can they find out the registered residence of the parties involved.

Under such poor conditions for handling the case, there were no relevant clues, and the fact that there should have been an extra death in the area was accidentally covered up by the daughter of the person involved.

The police are helpless and can only say it is God's will, right?

However, no matter what, the charges of murder against Saori Kadowaki and the other two were established, and how to deal with them is a big problem.

Or just do nothing and let the three of them be killed by Shimabukuro Kimie?

Matsumoto Akira thought about it and looked at Conan and Hattori Heiji beside him. These two detectives would never sit idly by and watch an unsolved murder case.

Once Shimabukuro Kimie takes any action, she will definitely be caught by these two people.

Is it really worth sacrificing your future for those three people?
