Chapter 2169 Conan the Lucky Cat

When everyone walked out of the shrine and felt the warm sunshine shining on their bodies, the chill deep in their hearts subsided a little.

"Pingji... I'm afraid... Let's not investigate this case."

Heye grabbed Heiji's arm tightly and said in a low voice, while Xiaolan next to him also grabbed Conan and shook his head.

"Me too, new... Conan, this should be the same as what my father said, it was just an accident, um, it must have been an accident..."

Regarding the performance of their girlfriends, Conan and Hattori Heiji did not care, but still discussed the case in a low voice.

"What do you think, Hattori?"

"I don't think...it's hard to say."

Hattori Heiji also frowned, confused.

"To be honest, after listening to Ms. Shimabukuro Junhui's words, I think she has a motive for killing."

"That's right, but there is only a motive for the murder. If Ms. Shimabukuro Junhui is right, then the three people were already dead before she planned to kill."

Conan also nodded, and he was also a little baffled by the development of this situation.

"But... a website?"

"Could it be that she bought murder and then regretted it?"

"It shouldn't be like that. If Shimabukuro bought the murderer, she shouldn't have said it in front of us. And Hattori, have you noticed? She is very cooperative with our inquiry, as if..."

"It's like asking for our help."

Hattori Heiji also understood what Conan meant. As high school detectives, they often encountered such things. After all, sometimes, the difficulties encountered by many people are uncertain, and the police may not necessarily take action, so it has become the choice of those people to find high school detectives like them to solve the problem.

And Junhui Shimabukuro's performance is the same as many clients they met before.

But... She is clearly a suspect!

"If I had to say something, either she was very confident in her murder method and thought that we would never be able to solve the case so she deliberately said it to lure us, or it was..."

"Either what Ms. Shimabukuro Junhui said is true."

Conan also took Hattori Heiji's words, speechless.

"She really wanted to kill Ms. Kadowaki Saori and the others, so after she learned the truth, she immediately thought of this urban legend, but at that time, maybe Ms. Shimabukuro Junhui was just venting..."

"That's right, it's like nailing a scarecrow."

Hattori Heiji nodded. This kind of situation is actually quite common. Many people seem to be very gentle on weekdays, but they also have people who hate them, so it is normal to secretly tie a small paper man or something Phenomena, as detectives, they have seen this kind of thing a lot.

"But what Ms. Shimabukuro Junhui didn't expect was that the urban legend actually came true."

"So she was scared too."

"That's why you came to us for help."

The two of you straightened out the whole relationship with each other, but... this is even more unacceptable!

They would rather believe that Junhui Shimabukuro had done a perfect murder by himself, and felt that he was very stable and absolutely impossible to be discovered, so they directly spoke out to provoke them detectives!

However, this does not make sense from a logical point of view, because the fire three years ago was not an accident but a man-made incident. Before that, only three victims knew that Junhui Shimabukuro was betrayed by Saori Kadowaki's father. After dropping that arrow, I only learned the truth from Saori Kadowaki a week ago.

In other words, as long as Shimabukuro Junhui doesn't say anything, it is absolutely impossible for them to find Shimabukuro Junhui's murder motive...

But people told you directly......

"We might as well listen to Mr. Fangzheng's thoughts.

"By the way, Fangzheng first... huh? Where is Mr. Fangzheng?"

The two famous detectives from Kanto and Kansai thought hard for a long time, then turned around and found that Fangzheng, who had come with them, was nowhere to be seen at the moment. Hearing their inquiries, Xiaolan, who was standing next to him "huddled together for warmth", and Kazuha pointed to the shrine. At this time, Hattori Heiji and Conan realized that Fangzheng was standing at the gate, talking to Junhui Shimabukuro, and the latter kept nodding.

Seeing this scene...

"Did Mr. Fangzheng let her confess?"

"Let's go and see!!"

At this moment, Conan and Hattori Heiji also walked over excitedly. Originally, they expected that Junhui Shimabukuro saw them coming, and then smiled wryly, saying, "I really didn't expect to be seen through by you, yes, I killed them." I've killed them" and then it's the criminal confession process they are familiar with...

Oh, this one has been gone before.

However………

"Thank you, Mr. Fangzheng."

"You're welcome, after this matter is over, you can go to me, just make this call."

Hattori Heiji and Conan just watched Fang Zheng take out a business card and handed it to Shimabukuro Junhui, then nodded and turned to leave, while Shimabukuro Junhui bowed deeply to Fangzheng...

“…………………”

What unfolds?

"What are you doing?"

At this time, Fang Zheng also noticed Hattori Heiji and Conan not far away, and asked suspiciously. Conan blinked and looked at Fangzheng.

"Mr. Fangzheng, what did you say to Junhui Shimabukuro?"

"Oh, it's nothing, you see, this long-lived woman can't play anymore, everyone knows the tricks have been exposed, and it will only increase the pain if I continue to play. So I talked to Ms. Shimabukuro about For the future development of Mermaid Island, the legend of the mermaid can continue to spread. As for the rumor of the longevity woman...Miss Shimabukuro Junhui will find time to discuss with the people on the island, and then give the news that the longevity woman has passed away. After all An old lady has lived for 130 years, and normal people would think it is normal to die."

"Then if there is no Longevity Woman, how will the festival be done?"

Now Xiaolan and Heye also came over, and they couldn't help asking when they heard this.

"The ceremony can be continued in another way. Moreover, a person who lives to be 130 years old before dying may not meet the standard of immortality, but it is enough to make people yearn for it. People beg for this dugong's arrow in itself A long life and peace, who will really rush to live forever."

"Uh……………"

Hearing what Fangzheng said, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

That seems to be the case...

"But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, Mr. Fangzheng, does it?"

Hattori Heiji also realized at this moment, indeed, the future of this mermaid island is very worrying, but it seems that it has nothing to do with Fangzheng?

"Who said no?"

Fangzheng silently glanced at Hattori Heiji.

"Umbrella intends to enter the tourism industry. The transformation of Mermaid Island is just a good start for us to test the water. The festival itself on this island is actually just a gimmick. The important thing is the environment for people to go sightseeing. The seafood here is rich. It's fresh, delicious and cheap, isn't it more attractive to tourists than something like immortality?"

Hearing this, Conan was also taken aback.

"So you and Ms. Shimabukuro just now..."

"Well, that's right, what I told her was about Umbrella's investment in Mermaid Island."

Facing this answer, Conan and Hattori Heiji rolled their eyes in unison.

"However, she is a suspect, Mr. Fangzheng, what if she killed Kadowaki Saori and the others......"

"She didn't lie just now."

Before Hattori Heiji finished speaking, Fangzheng interrupted him.

"I'm pretty sure of this, she didn't kill people."

Of course she didn't kill the person, Fangzheng did it himself.

Hearing this, Conan and Hattori Heiji also looked at each other speechlessly.

The reason why they like to invite Fang Zheng to solve the case together is not because they are interested in Fang Zheng's reasoning ability, because Fang Zheng himself said that he is not interested in reasoning, but Fang Zheng's accuracy in judging people is first-class. If Conan and Hattori Heiji are regarded as two academic masters, and the case is a practice question, then Fangzheng is actually equivalent to the "reference answer" of this practice question, but just like the answer to the practice question, he only gives the answer, not the process. .

The process of solving the problem still needs to be solved by Conan and other top students.

And there is another reason why Conan invited Fang Zheng.

Speaking of it, let's talk about it when Teacher Xiaobaihe was almost poisoned when she got married.

At that time, Fangzheng saw through the groom's plan and stopped his poisonous killing on the spot, which greatly shocked and shocked Conan.

Indeed, as a detective, Conan—or Kudo Shinichi is very good. He can detect the other party's problems through the traces left by the other party, inadvertent movements and other small nuances.

But there is a problem.

That is the so-called trace, which is often left after the fact.

In other words, by the time he found out, everyone was already dead.

No matter how good a detective is, he can only catch the criminal and avenge the victim.

But Fangzheng is different, he can detect the criminal in advance, and stop the other party, stop the crime!

This is the ability that Conan and Hattori Heiji do not have.

Although they can occasionally detect that something was wrong before the murderer committed the crime, they can only be curious and confused. After all, they do not have this ability, and they cannot tell from the fierce eyes of others that he really wants To kill the other party or simply look at other people's displeasure.

And it is not the first time that Fangzheng has demonstrated this ability in front of them. In the egg of memories incident, he targeted Shi Kaobing, and in subsequent incidents where policemen were killed, he was the first The prisoner was found, and the other party was prevented from almost killing Officer Sato and Xiaolan.

To be honest, Conan now wishes to have Fang Zheng's ability to observe people's hearts more than his reasoning ability.

However, he also found that this ability is obviously difficult to master. After all, the evidence and clues observed by detectives are fixed, but the micro-expression observed by Fang Zheng may only change in a thousandth of a second, and it is difficult for outsiders to really grasp it. It's not the realm of "self-taught".

That's why Conan decided that if he encountered any kind of invitation in the future, he would invite Fangzheng along with him. After all, it could be just in case?

Although Fangzheng's move was not tried and tested, for example, Fangzheng told him that unless the prisoner was really stupid enough to attack the target in front of him, he would not see it. After all, it is impossible for a person to live with killing intent twenty-four hours a day. Just like that time at the Mansion of Masks, everyone went to bed when the other party committed the murder, and he knew that the other party wanted to kill?

He doesn't need to sleep?

But for Conan or Kudo Shinichi, even if one victim can be saved, it would be good!

It was the same this time, but what Conan didn't expect was that the victim was really miserable this time, and died before Fangzheng arrived.

Hmm... Actually, they died after Fangzheng arrived.

But this Conan does not need to know.

Now that Fangzheng said that, Conan and Hattori Heiji were also speechless. Since Fangzheng's "reference answer" has confirmed that Shimabukuro Junhui is not a criminal, it is useless for them to pursue reasoning.

"Is there no other possibility?"

"Of course there is."

"Hey?"

Hearing what Fangzheng said, the two of them cheered up immediately.

"What possibility?"

"It's very simple. If the plot is designed according to the novel, it is that Miss Junhui Shimabukuro actually has a dual personality. In fact, it is her other personality who killed the person. Her main personality doesn't know anything, so I can't see it. It's normal to come out..."

"........."

Hearing this, Conan, Hattori Heiji, Mori Langa Toyama and Ye were all speechless, while Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands.

"So you see, this setting is still very good for novels."

In the end, the police finally closed the case with an "accident" according to Mori Kogoro. This is also a rare moment for "Sleeping Kogoro" not to sleep, not to overthrow his own reasoning, and to solve a case!

So on the way back, Mori Kogoro laughed triumphantly. And Hattori Heiji and Conan's faces were as black as coal—oh, Hattori Heiji didn't need it, he was already black.

As for Fangzheng, he was also very happy, because he suddenly discovered that Conan had another use besides the God of Plague.

That is to attract money!

To know that Umbrella needs to grow, he must acquire a lot of companies, and Japanese companies are mostly family-run. It is not easy to obtain management rights from them, but now, with Conan, things are simple too much!

Which company he wants to acquire, if the other party disagrees, then Fangzheng will take Conan to the banquet, and people will die at that time, and most of them will be the president of the company, and the heirs of the company will usually be the ones who die. Come on, under the halo of death, the entire company was completely ruined, and the stock price plummeted. Umbrella took the opportunity to buy a large amount of equity... Perfect!

Now Fangzheng finally discovered that Conan is not only a god of death, but also a beckoning cat! !
