Chapter 287 The most difficult thing to crack is the disappearance case
Now that Shimabukuro Kimie has joined the "God of Death" organization, with the magical potions refined by Suzuki Seimei, she can use her identity as a longevity woman to show more miraculous abilities.
As long as Shimabukuro Kimie establishes the character of longevity woman, he can take the opportunity to win over the dignitaries who come to the shrine to pray for blessings and establish a huge network of relationships.
And when he meets a suitable candidate, Shimabukuro Kimie can also find a way to absorb them into the "Death" or "Net" organization.
As Shimabukuro Kimie came under the command of Suzuki Seimei, he also followed his previous agreement and asked Aizen to help her get rid of three of her mother-killing enemies.
Shimabukuro Kimie's three enemies who killed her mother are also her good friends since childhood. They are Kadori Saori, Kuroe Naoko, and Ebihara Hisumi.
Although Kadori Saori and the others deserved their death, considering that they were all beauties, Suzuki Seimei did not make their deaths too painful, but only fed them poison that would seal their throats when they see blood.
Like Naoko Kuroe, Saori Kadori and Hisumi Ebihara are also eligible to sign in. Suzuki Seimei has signed [Shougen] for a total of five years with them.
After quietly poisoning the three women, Suzuki Seimei asked Yan Lingji to sink their bodies into the deep sea a hundred meters below.
According to the laws of the island country, as long as the body of the deceased cannot be found, he can only be defined as missing.
Therefore, even if other people find out that Kuroe Naoko and the others are missing, they can only report them as missing.
In the eyes of the island police, disappearance cases and homicide cases are two different concepts.
If it is a homicide, the police will arrest the murderer as soon as possible to prevent him from committing another crime.
But when faced with a disappearance case, the police tend to just go through the motions, and often end up with nothing left to deal with.
In the original plot, Shimabukuro Kimie used a lot of fancy tricks in order to avenge her mother and hide the secret that she was the murderer.
Suzuki Seimei can only say that Shimabukuro Kimie is still too naive and she can only be regarded as a rookie killer.
If it were Suzuki Seimei, he would definitely coax Kuroe Naoko and the others to take a boat out to sea under the guise of looking for a mermaid, and then use some tricks on the boat to let them all die at sea.
In an island like the United States, surrounded by the sea, most of the residents make a living by fishing. Every few years, several fishermen accidentally die in the sea.
Even if the bodies of Naoko Kuroe and others are discovered by then, the residents of the island will think that they suffered a shipwreck, and it is impossible to blame Shimabukuro Kimie.
After all, others didn't know that Shimabukuro Kimie's mother was set on fire by Kuroe Naoko and others. Instead, they always thought that they were good friends since childhood.
Perhaps because the residents of the island were busy preparing for the dugong celebration tonight, no one noticed the disappearance of Kuroe Naoko and the others.
And after learning that his great revenge had been avenged, Shimabukuro Kimie finally let go of the burden in his heart and began to play the role of longevity woman with peace of mind.
As night fell slowly, the residents and tourists on the island all gathered in the shrine square.
"He Ye, I suddenly feel so excited!"
"That's it!"
Compared to Suzuki Seimei and others who were joining in the fun, Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha firmly believed in the legend of the mermaid, and seemed particularly excited and looking forward to it.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Mao Lilan and the others are defenseless against ghosts and the like.
Under the curious eyes of everyone, two maids in white kimonos slowly opened the door of the shrine, revealing the empty hall inside.
I saw a short old woman with long gray hair standing in the center of the hall, her back to everyone.
Hearing the sound of the shrine door opening, the old woman with white powder on her face picked up the long fire stick in front of her and walked outside the house.
"The longevity lady is out!"
"Is this Changshou Po?"
"It looks so small~"
Seeing this short, child-like longevity woman with their own eyes, some people seemed surprised, others were very calm, and many people began to pray silently.
Shimabukuro Kimie glanced at everyone, and walked slowly to the stove at the entrance of the shrine, holding the fire stick, lighting the fire stick in his hand, and then placed the fire stick against the paper door at the entrance of the shrine.
Huhuhu...
The paper door that had already been smeared with alcohol erupted into flames the moment it came into contact with the flames, and three sets of numbers burned on the paper door.
"The flames actually burned into numbers!"
"I got it! I got it!"
"He Ye, I seem to have won the lottery too!"
Compared with the three sets of numbers burned on the paper door, Mao Lilan and the others checked the number plate and couldn't help but cheer excitedly.
You must know that at the annual dugong celebration, Changshou Po will only distribute three dugong arrows.
And Mao Lilan and the others drew two at once, and they had to say that they were really possessed by the European Emperor.
Of course!
Mao Lilan and the others were able to draw the dugong arrow this time, not because of luck, but because Aizen asked Shimabukuro Kimie to do so.
Because the burning numbers on the paper door were all written by Shimabukuro Kime with alcohol in advance, so she just wrote the numbers of Mourilan and their number plates on the paper door in advance.
Mao Lilan and the others firmly believe in the legend of the mermaid, and also believe in the rumor that the "dugong arrow" can bring blessings to people.
Instead of letting Shimabukuro Kime distribute the "Dugong Arrows" randomly, it would be better to give them to Maori Lan and the others to make them happy.
If Haibara Ai had not known the truth about Changshou Po for a long time and had no interest in the "Dugong Arrow", Suzuki Seimei would definitely have asked Shimabukuro Kimie to give her the third "Dugong Arrow".
The final result was just as Suzuki Seimei expected. After receiving the dugong arrows handed out by Shimabukuro Kimie, Mao Lilan and the others immediately felt blessed and protected, with smiles that could not be concealed on their faces.
After the lively dugong celebration ended, everyone stayed on the American island for two more days in order to investigate the news about Saori Monaribei. In the end, no useful clues were found, and the group had no choice but to leave.
┐(?~?)┌
no way!
The bodies of Menri Saori and the others had already been buried in the belly of a fish. No matter how powerful Conan and the others were, they would not be able to find any trace of them.
Without finding the body, Conan and the others could only treat this commission as a disappearance case.
And for this kind of disappearance case that they don't know whether it can be solved at all, Mouri Kogoro and the others can't waste too much time.
