Conan's Beginning was Picked Up by Xiaolan

"Great-grandmother, I've prepared the bath water." Shimabukuro Kimie's voice came from a distance.

Old lady Shimabukuro looked in that direction and said, "If you don't have anything important to do, I'm going to take a shower and go to bed."

"Hey! But we haven't finished asking questions yet?" Conan wanted to keep him.

"And the little girl over there, I mean the one with the hair tied up. The dugong arrow was originally a precious arrow to drive away demons and evil spirits. Once you let go of it, the demons will build a nest on your body. If it's a man, he will be buried in the ground."

"It will become a heartless demon. If it's a woman, it will go into the water and become a mermaid who can't speak. So I advise you to take it with you all the time."

Heiji watched the old lady Shimabukuro leave and couldn't help but complain: "Her voice is hoarse and her complexion is terrible. I don't think this old woman will live long."

Conan looked at Xiaocheng, and Xiaocheng winked at him playfully.

Conan was stunned, then fell into deep thought. The expression given by Xiaocheng actually explained it very well. Xiaocheng did not shake his head but had this attitude.

That means the previous guess was correct, this old lady was someone in disguise, and the disguised person was most likely Shimabukuro Kimie, but Shimabukuro Kimie's voice was heard again before.

Conan was still thinking, while Xiaocheng found an excuse to go to the bathroom.

Is Xiaocheng going to the toilet? Of course not. He followed the old lady Shimabukuro to the bathroom. Xiaocheng blinked his eyes. Is he going to peek?

Ahem...I'm not that kind of person. I have principles!

There was no movement inside at first, but sounds began to be heard after a while. Were they confirming that there was no one outside?

Xiaocheng was sitting outside counting his fingers boredly, and soon the person who came out was not old lady Shimabukuro, but Shimabukuro Kimie.

When Shimabukuro Kimie saw Kojo for the first time, she was very surprised. How could he be like that?

"Why are you here, Sister Junhui? Shouldn't you be the longevity lady?" Xiaocheng's bright eyes met Shimabukuro Junhui's eyes.

"Could it be that the Longevity Lady is Sister Junhui in disguise?" Xiaocheng smiled and tilted his head to look at Shimabukuro Junhui.

"Uh...little brother, what are you talking about? Great-grandmother is resting now. I just came to the bathroom to take a look." Shimabukuro Kimie was shocked, but her expression remained normal.

"Really? But sister Junhui must be very sad about the death of her childhood friend." When Xiaocheng saw Shimabukuro Junhui fighting hard, he smiled.

"Sister Junhui, it must feel bad to kill your childhood friend with your own hands." Xiaocheng still stared at Shimabukuro Junhui's face. People who disguise themselves have good psychological qualities, but so what.

I'm going to get close to you and use my ultimate skill directly on your face. What do you say?

"What are you talking about, little brother? Are you playing a detective game? I don't have time right now. I have some things I need to do at the shrine."

Shimabukuro Kimie squatted in front of Xiaocheng, smiled, patted Xiaocheng on the head, and prepared to leave.

"Sister Junhui, please turn yourself in." Xiaocheng did not stop her. After all, he had no evidence, so why should he stop her?

When Shimabukuro Kimie, who was leaving, heard what Xiaocheng said, she paused slightly. She didn't say anything and just left.

Xiao Cheng scratched his head. He still had a good impression of Shimabukuro Kimie, but it was a pity that others didn't listen to him. That was right. Who would listen to him if he just went forward foolishly like that?

On the second day, we arrived at the Ebihara family, where a funeral ceremony was being held.

The sky was gloomy and thunder could be heard from time to time. When I saw Shimabukuro Kimie in the mourning hall, there was still a trace of fatigue on her face.

Kogoro looked around but couldn't find Naoko, even though she was clearly on the list. Kojo was stunned, thinking that couldn't be true. He looked at Shimabukuro Kimie, whose brows revealed a hint of fatigue.

Xiaolan suggested that Naoko Kuroe might be in the bathroom. Just as she and Kazuha were going to the bathroom, they planned to go and check, but as soon as they looked, something happened.

Listening to the screams of Xiaolan and Kazuha, Xiaocheng's eyes showed helplessness. In front of him was the body of Naoko Kuroe tied to a fishing net.

Kogoro took the lead and went forward to look at the scene. There were two kinds of footprints at the scene, one of which was a sandal, which should be the deceased's.

The other one should be a pair of long boots, which should be the murderer. There is also a dugong arrow that was stepped on and broken under the body.

I originally wanted to follow the boot prints to see if I could find anything, but I didn't expect that the boot prints actually led to the sea, and there were fish scales around the boot prints.

Xiaocheng did not go to the scene. He stayed with Xiaolan and Kazuha, and also watched Shimabukuro Kimie. His efficiency was impeccable. He had just persuaded Shimabukuro Kimie to surrender last night.

Another person died today, and at this moment, the police from Fukui Prefecture finally arrived.

Kogoro, Heiji and Conan are back too, and the next step is the police's work.

But when Ye Xiaolan and I listened to Ze Pingci's story, we couldn't help but see some panic on our faces.

"Could the murderer be a mermaid?" He Ye grabbed Xiaolan's shoulders, with a little fear on his face.

"Silly, how could a mermaid wear long boots? I think the murderer may have walked along the wave line all the way here, and then came to the fishing net where he and Naoko had agreed to meet. After committing the crime, he walked back along the wave line. It looks like he was walking towards the beach."

Heiji analyzed that the mermaid thing was a bit outrageous, but if that was the case, the murderer was most likely acquainted with Naoko and committed the crime by acquaintance.

Kogoro asked everyone present if they had seen Naoko, and it seemed that Naoko was the first one to come over, so no one present paid attention.

"Could this murderer be the same person who killed Sumi?" said Fukuyama Rokuro.

"This is not very clear at the moment, but it is certain that the murderer has taken away Miss Naoko's Dugong Arrow." Kogoro replied.

"Saori also disappeared after she said that the Dugong Arrow was missing. Could she..." Shimabukuro Kimie recalled, her tone a little worried.

"Yes, maybe she has been murdered now." Heiji nodded. He has been thinking this since Menkyo Saori disappeared.

"You mean Saori? I saw her yesterday morning near the Mermaid Falls."

At this time, a voice sounded, and surprise appeared in Xiaocheng's eyes, because according to reason, Menxie Saori should be dead.

However, there was also a voice on the field saying that someone had seen Menxie Saori appear. Heiji frowned and asked, "Maybe she was hiding because she was being chased by someone or for some other unavoidable reason?"

Xiaocheng looked at Shimabukuro Kimie with a puzzled look in his eyes. The situation seemed to be getting more and more complicated.

Kogoro also asked Monkyo Saori's father about this, but unfortunately, Monkyo Heizo didn't care about his daughter. He thought that as long as she didn't turn into a mermaid, it would be fine.

"Mermaid, what do you mean?" Kogoro wondered.

"Don't you know? The legendary eight hundred nuns specialize in eating the flesh of mermaids hanging on the nets."

Xiao Cheng listened to Menkyo Heizo's explanation and looked back at Naoko's death posture. The murderer was quite creative...
