434. List
"That's good!"
"But then we couldn't forget the life on the island, so we came back." As she spoke, her expression became sad, "If nothing had happened, how nice it would have been if everyone was still the same as before......
If her mother hadn't been burned at the shrine, if she hadn't taken up the burden, if she hadn't known about these things, she might have agreed......
But unfortunately there is no if......
After tonight, Shimabukuro Kimie will disappear on the island.
"Did anything happen?" Conan was a little curious about what had happened between them.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to say." Kimie Shimabukuro shook her head, not wanting to mention more.
Back at Shimabukuro's house, Kimie Shimabukuro rummages through the roster in a drawer.
"Strange, how? I remember putting it in this drawer...... "It's all in previous years, but this year's roster is gone."
"Could it be that your great-grandmother took it?"
Shimabukuro-kun shook his head and replied without thinking, "This is absolutely impossible. ”
Conan looked up at the side of her face, his eyes darkened, "Then does anyone know that this roster is here?" ”
"Almost everyone on the island knows about it." After rummaging through the drawer again, but still not finding it, she stood up, "For the sake of prudence, I'd better look for it in another room." ”
"I'll help you find it too!" Xiaolan took the initiative to speak.
"And me!" Yuan Zi and Ye glanced at each other, and several girls went to look for things together.
Kamikawa instantly took out a roster from a drawer, and many of the names recorded on it were familiar to the public, including Japan's former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of the Interior, and the president of the Bank of Japan...... Almost all of Japan's top power figures have left their names on these rosters.
It can be seen that how many people yearn for immortality.
He picked up another three-year-old roster and rested on one of the pages, his fingers rubbing the edge of the paper.
Shiho Miyano, Jinjin Kurosawa, Saburo Uozuka......
Several familiar names were recorded on the page.
Before he came, Gray Hara told him something about the island. Among them is the investigation of this longevity woman and the bones.
It's a pity that because of the rumors of immortality, what I finally discovered was just a magical story made up in order to promote the tourism of the island.
And that longevity woman is just an ordinary person in disguise.
Fortunately, they didn't have much hope for this rumor in the first place. If immortality is really that easy, then why would it take an organization a century.
Conan glanced sharply at the name "Shiho Miyano" written on the paper, "I remember this name... It's her real name, right? ”
"Hmm."
"How did that come to this? She shouldn't be interested in immortality and eternal youth, right? ”
"I don't know, maybe it's the same name and surname." Kamikawa continued to flip back, checking the list behind him.
As he was watching, a scream came from outside the door.
Several people in the house were startled and hurriedly ran out.
The three girls stood in the hallway, looking in horror in one direction in the courtyard.
"What's wrong!"
"Just there... There was a woman with brown hair and glasses who kept staring at us......"
Everyone's minds suddenly appeared in the appearance of Saori Menxie, and she was dressed like this: "Could it be that ... Will it be Saori...."
"The glass here is broken." Kamikawa instantly watched as the glass door on the side of the corridor was broken, and the glass at the lock position of the door buckle was broken. This way, you can also enter the room directly from the outside world.
"Where's Sister Junhui?"
"Miss Junhui, she said she was going to look for it in the newly built warehouse."
"Where's that warehouse?"
"Right behind that shrine." Xiaolan pointed in one direction, but saw that the other side was exceptionally bright, and the red flames seemed to burn the night.
"It's on fire!"
Thinking that there were still people inside, Conan and Hattori Heiji hurriedly ran over there. But the fire in the warehouse was so fast that it was out of control as soon as it ignited.
Kamikawa, who came along, instantly looked at the burning warehouse and looked up at the sky. A few lightning bolts streaked across the gloomy sky from time to time, but the rain still didn't fall.
"Damn! Miss Saori is still inside! ”
Hattori was a little grumpy. Obviously, it was fine before, but in the blink of an eye, such a big thing happened again! This feeling of knowing that there are people inside, but only watching the fire burn bigger and stronger, and being powerless is really uncomfortable.
Insert a sentence, the book reading app I have been using recently, there are many book sources, all books, and fast updates!
"I've called the police. But the fire is so big, even if the fire department arrives, it will not be extinguished in a while. ”
The flames have spread throughout the warehouse, and the warehouse itself is wooden, and it has not rained for the past few days, and the wood is dry. The likelihood of a fire being extinguished quickly is slim to non-existent.
The fire burned overnight and was reduced to ashes as it had been three years earlier.
The tragedy of three years ago was repeated, when firefighters found a charred skeleton in the rubble.
According to the preliminary judgment of the police, this corpse should be the one who has never been seen.
After receiving the notice from the police, Hattori breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it was good that it wasn't Miss Junhui. But then more doubts followed, "If it's Miss Saori, then what did Xiaolan and the others see last night?" ”
If it's Saori in the shrine, then where did Junhui go, they also had the expectation that Junhui wasn't in the warehouse last night, and searched in the house and around the fire, but they didn't find anyone.
Conan's face was serious, "I remember Miss Junhui said that she had seen a dentist, right?" ”
"Hmm......" Hattori obviously thought about it too, and he didn't want to accept such a result for a while.
"Does going to the dentist have anything to do with that?" Sonoko tugged at Kamikawa's sleeve.
"It is comparable to determining the identity of the deceased by comparing the tooth shape and the treatment marks of the tooth."
"Doesn't that mean that the body found is likely to be Miss Junhui......"
"Hmm."
Hearing Kamikawa's answer, Sonoko felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. Although we haven't been together for a long time, that Miss Junhui is really nice. Gentle and kind.,Parents are dead and another person takes care of his great-grandmother.,And also in charge of the affairs of the shrine.。 It is really unacceptable for such a girl to die in the fire.
The longevity woman came out of the room, her rickety body staggering forward with a cane, she didn't know what was happening, and she called out for her granddaughter everywhere.
"I'm a little worried about my mother-in-law'......"
Several girls looked at the old man with a little unbearable. Originally, such a granddaughter was still alive, and now the granddaughter is no longer alive. How can such an old man survive living alone and enduring bereavement and pain......
