Conan's Beginning was Picked Up by Xiaolan

Watching Fukuyama Rokuro and Ebihara Sumi leave, Heiji frowned, because along the way he found that many people did not take the disappearance of Monkyo Saori seriously.

"This is because Saori often quarrels with her father and runs away from home." Shimabukuro Kimie gave a reason.

At this moment, Kogoro suggested that Shimabukuro Kimie could take them to visit Monkyo Saori's home.

Shimabukuro Kimie smiled sweetly and agreed, but she would have to wait until the celebration was over before she would be free.

Xiaocheng glanced at Shimabukuro Kimie. When the girl named Sumi came out and talked about the case three years ago, there was a moment of obvious abnormality on her face.

Conan and Kojo looked at each other, then looked at Heiji. Conan couldn't possibly believe in mermaids. His mind was still on the letter of commission and the disappearance of Saori Menkyo.

He felt that something might have happened to Menxie Saori and she ran away from home?

Conan frowned. First he sent a letter to Heiji and then disappeared. What a coincidence, and then there was Heiji's first phone call.

Heiji was obviously thinking about something, and Koshiro watched Shimabukuro Kimie hand two wooden cards to Xiaolan and Kazuha. The two girls looked very happy. Before leaving, Koshiro took a special look at Shimabukuro Kimie.

But he didn't notice anything. That fleeting look alone couldn't explain anything.

When the celebration began in the evening, a short old woman wearing sacrificial clothes and heavy makeup appeared on the stage. Xiao Cheng looked a little puzzled.

"This is the longevity lady." Conan looked towards the stage.

"This... is so small?" Kogoro looked at the stage in confusion. The person was too short, not even as tall as Xiaocheng.

"She's just an ordinary old woman wearing heavy makeup." Heiji seemed unconcerned.

Xiao Cheng was in the middle of the three people, watching their comments and listening with his ears tilted. He wanted to see if he had heard it wrong. Why did the footsteps sound so strange? They didn't sound like the footsteps of an ordinary old man.

And the old lady Shimabukuro on the stage lit up three numbers with a torch, and Kazuha's number was among them, and she actually won.

Xiaocheng watched old lady Shimabukuro go in with shining eyes. Not long after that, Shimabukuro Kimie came out and announced that they would go to the Mermaid Waterfall to award the Dugong Arrow.

Disguise? Or what? The footsteps were definitely not right. At first he thought they were too far away and he had misheard them, but it turned out that there was something wrong with this old lady.

It's just a pity that the makeup was too heavy and it was quite far away, so he couldn't see anything from her face.

He just told Conan and Heiji about this discovery.

"What do you mean? Do you suspect that the longevity lady is a person in disguise?" Heiji looked at Xiaocheng suspiciously.

"This possibility is very high. Didn't you notice her clothes?" Xiaocheng said.

Clothes? The ritual clothes that the old lady from Shimabukuro wore were very loose.

Conan frowned slightly. He did not doubt that Xiaocheng had heard wrongly, because Xiaocheng must be sure to tell them this, but why? There must be a reason.

"Hey! You three, hurry up." He Ye waved to the three people behind him.

"Let's go first, we'll find out eventually." Heiji adjusted his hat, looked in the direction of Kazuha, and walked forward.

"Oh." Xiao Cheng shook his head and sighed softly. What a trouble.

Conan was stunned when he saw Xiaocheng's appearance, but then he followed. According to Xiaocheng, someone was disguised as a longevity lady, but what was her purpose?

The group came to the Mermaid Waterfall, and Shimabukuro Kimie called the three people in the middle to come forward, including Kazuha, Kuroe Naoko, and a drunk man, Kadokyo Naizo, who was Kadokyo Saori's father.

Heiji looked at the three people on the field with surprise. That's not right. I just clearly heard that Sumi Ebihara won the prize.

Xiaocheng also blinked his eyes. Since Heiji could hear it, he naturally heard it too.

What happened in the middle? Xiao Cheng glanced around, but then he looked straight ahead, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he was stunned. No way.

He saw a corpse with long hair hanging in the middle of the waterfall. Seeing that no one on the field had noticed it, Xiao Cheng looked left and right.

Should he howl? Never mind, he just said it out loud: "Conan, Heiji-nii, what's that in the middle of the waterfall? It's shaking a little bit."

Xiao Cheng pointed into the air and a cute voice sounded.

Conan and Heiji were both stunned, especially Heiji, who was confused by Kojo. Why did the voice sound so wrong? He felt like he had goosebumps.

But they followed the direction Xiaocheng pointed. From not being able to see clearly at the beginning, to the end, Conan ran directly over to take a look, and the female corpse hanging in the middle of the waterfall was finally discovered.

They pulled the female corpse up from the upper waterfall, and the deceased was none other than Sumi Ebihara.

Shimabukuro Kimie was worried and a little sad.

She mentioned two possibilities, suicide and homicide, but they were denied by Fukuyama Rokuro, who also showed everyone the fixed rope to prevent danger.

"Is that so? So that means Miss Sumi walked to the beach, and because her center of gravity was unstable, although she grabbed the rope, the water flow was too fast, causing the wooden stake to fall off, so she was strangled to death by the rope on the way to the waterfall."

Kogoro looked at the wooden stake whose body had fallen off, and Xiaocheng listened, saying that if this was true, then it was an accident.

What a surprise! Xiao Cheng sighed and scratched his head. It must be homicide!

Moreover, Xiaocheng glanced at Shimabukuro Kimie and saw that Shimabukuro Kimie's expression was normal, without any abnormality. Xiaocheng was not sure if she was the murderer.

What Kogoro said makes sense but is also a bit wrong. Why would Sumi Ebihara come here for the celebration?

And Naoko Kuroe said that she was most likely here to find the mermaid's grave. Kuroe Naoko said that the shrine warehouse caught fire three years ago and the mermaid's bones were buried here.

Xiao Cheng touched his chin. Three years ago again?

"Wait a minute, are you so sure that the skeleton is that of a mermaid?" Heiji was sweating and had dead eyes. This was really a fantasy.

"It's hard to say. The villagers on the island all said so, but the police said it was the skeleton of a middle-aged woman." Shimabukuro Kimie said.

"Nonsense! This is only possible because the bones below the waist of the skeleton are still there." Naoko Kuroe obviously did not believe what the police said.

Xiao Cheng and Conan looked at each other. Bones below the waist? Fukuyama Rokuro said that the bones below the waist of the skeleton were supposed to be the foot bones, but they were all smashed.

On the field, Fukuyama Rokuro, Kuroe Naoko and Shimabukuro Kimie were talking one after another. Xiaocheng was a little confused. How could someone steal the remains?

Then Shimabukuro Kimie said there was no other way and buried the remains here.

Just when Kogoro wanted to ask where she was buried, Shimabukuro Kimie said she didn't know. She only knew that her great-grandmother asked a trustworthy person to do it.

Both Heiji and Conan looked at her. If what Kojo said was true, then there was definitely something wrong with the great-grandmother. So was there also something wrong with Shimabukuro Kimie?
