"Boss, everyone is here."

In front of the village office, Kuroki Takashi gathered all his subordinates together, including Huang Mao and others, who were knocked out by Mu Yuan, and they were also woken up by his forced splashing of water.

"Well, did you find the woman?" Kuroki asked at the bandaged yellow hair on his head.

Huang Mao covered his head and shook his head, "Boss, Sister Skyler didn't respond, we have already called her on the walkie-talkie." ”

"No response?" Kuroki Takashi was stunned.

Could it be that Skyler Jones was by Asumi?

"No, with that woman's strength, ......" Takashi Kuroki frowned, and then asked, "What about Kudo Shinichi?" Where did he go? ”

"This ......," Huang Mao looked at the other thug with some embarrassment.

The thug immediately shrunk his neck, "Old, boss...... Actually, we didn't see Kudo Shinichi coming out of the village office just now. ”

"What!?"

Kuroki Takashi was completely stunned when he heard this.

He had personally stared at Mu Yuan and the others just now, so he was very sure that Kudo Shinichi was not with them.

In order to maintain order, his thugs have always stayed in front of the village office and in the open space.

If no one saw Shinichi Kudo leave...... So where did he go?

Kuroki Takashi's fierce gaze swept over the younger brother one by one, and finally gritted his teeth, "Is the ship ready?" ”

"Ready!" Huang Mao immediately responded, "Big brother, when you just gave the order, I had already asked them to prepare, and they would arrive at the dock in half an hour at most." ”

"Hmm...... Keep an eye on the intercom if you haven't heard from the woman in Skyler Jones within ten minutes......"

Takashi Kuroki took a deep breath.

He thought about it again, but he still couldn't tell the relationship between Mu Yuan and others and Kudo Shinichi.

If these people and Kudo Shinichi are members of the organization, then why should they care about Kuroiwa Tatsuji's death?

There is also the mysterious disappearance of Shinichi Kudo......

The man who seems to be able to see through everything......

“…… Exercise! Lao Tzu fought with him! Kuroki Takashi suddenly burst out and let out a loud sigh.

"He? Who is he? Huang Mao looked at Kuroki Chongshi, who suddenly became excited, and blinked his eyes and said, "Big brother, shouldn't we help Hideo Kawashima become the village head, and then ......"

"Nope! It's too late......" Takashi Kuroki grimaced, "Remember, it doesn't matter to the others, the monk in the robe...... I want him dead!

！ ”

…

…

"The deceased Ken Nishimoto, male, 35 years old, unemployed......"

In Ken Nishimoto's villa, Kogoro Mori states the death information based on Hideo Kawashima's description.

"The right hand was handcuffed to the support pillar of the bedroom bed on the second floor, and there was no trace of struggle and dodge before he died, and the shot hit the center of the eyebrows ......"

"Acquaintances are good friends, and it's an acquaintance that Mr. Nishimoto didn't expect to be bad for him."

Conan summed up as he touched his chin from the side.

"You little ghost!" Maori Kogoro looked down and immediately said in annoyance, "Xiaolan, didn't I tell you to be optimistic about this little ghost?" ”

Mao Lilan looked at Conan with a complicated expression, and just wanted to step forward, Hattori Heiji took the lead and said, "This little ghost is right, judging from the scene, it should indeed be an acquaintance, and now the question is whether the person who handcuffed the deceased is the same as the murderer." ”

Gray Yuan blinked, turned his head to peek at it, and after finding that Mu Yuan didn't have any intention of speaking, he quietly took a step back.

"Cut, what kind of acquaintance is making a mistake, maybe this kid committed suicide after killing the village chief of Heiyan Village?" Mori Kogoro squinted at the corpse and said with his hands in his pockets.

Heiji Hattori and Conan rolled their eyes at the same time, and the former said bluntly: "Idiot...... What about guns? Could it be that he still had the ability to hide the gun after committing suicide with a pistol? ”

"Uh, this ......" Kogoro Mori scratched his head.

"Huh? Uncle Maori, this pair of handcuffs doesn't seem to be the same as on TV. Conan reminded with an 'innocent' look.

"Huh?" Maori Kogoro squatted down and observed carefully for a moment, and was suddenly startled, "This, this is!?" ”

"It's police handcuffs." Hattori Heiji said firmly, "Although it is a little old, this number is correct, it is indeed the old batch of police handcuffs from more than ten years ago." ”

"There are handcuffs and guns, do you say...... The murderer is the old man who patrols!? ”

Mori Kogoro's whimsy rarely stunned everyone in the room.

Acquaintances, unexpected murderers, police weapons...... After several clues were stacked, the old patrol on Lunaris ...... It seems that there is really a bit of suspicion?

"Mr. Kawashima, does that old man on patrol have a grudge against Mr. Nishimoto?" Mori Kogoro asked, turning his head.

Hideo Kawashima immediately waved his hand, "Then, how is that possible, Mr. Policeman, he has been working on the island for decades, he is a very kind old man, and he has never had a conflict with anyone." ”

"Is that so...... Then I get it! Maori Kogoro suddenly clapped his hands and said proudly, "The truth is that the old man who patrolled came to hunt down Ken Nishimoto, but met with fierce resistance, so he had to shoot him!" ”

“…… Uncle, are you here to be funny!? Hattori Heiji couldn't stand it anymore, "First of all, how can the residence on Moonshadow Island be equipped with a gun, secondly, there is no trace of resistance here at all, and finally, do you think it is necessary for Mr. Patrol to shoot when he has already restrained people?" Or was he handcuffed after he had beaten someone to death? Do you think it's reasonable!? ”

"Uh...... But if it weren't for him, who could the murderer be? Mori Kogoro scratched his head again.

Hattori Heiji looked at Kogoro who didn't blush, and he was also so convinced that the corners of his mouth twitched, "I didn't say that the old man on patrol has completely cleared the suspicion, but I'm just correcting the murder process that you just reasoned, uncle!" ”

Mori Kogoro pondered for a moment, tilted his head and said, "Then is he a murderer?" ”

“……”

The abdomen was completely stunned when he was asked, this uncle is absolutely amazing!

…

"Hey, look, there's a footprint here?"

Conan ran to the entrance to the entrance downstairs and shouted upstairs.

Everyone upstairs walked down one after another, and then saw a footprint on the wall of the entrance that Conan had pointed to.

To be precise, it's just a half-footprint silhouette made up of a circle of fine sand, and it doesn't even have the anti-slip marks on the shoe.

"Stinky little ghost, it's just a footprint, what's there to make a fuss about?" Kogoro Maori glanced at it and pursed his lips impatiently, not at all aware of the abnormality in the footprints.

Heiji Hattori and Toru Amuro immediately squinted their eyes.

"This footprint ......," Hattori Heiji said seriously, "it should have been left by the murderer." ”

"What?" Kogoro's eyes widened and he looked closely, but no matter how he looked at it, he didn't find anything unusual, "What, there's nothing special at all!" ”

“…… Location, it's location! Hattori rubbed his eyebrows, "Uncle, didn't you notice that this footprint was left by the wall?" ”

"Huh?"

Kogoro Mori stepped in front of him and tried to take the same step, only to find that he could only leave a similar footprint if he was clinging to the wall.

"In this posture, does the owner of the footprints want to ......?"

"He probably wanted to attack the owner of the house as soon as he heard the noise." Hattori Heiji lay down and continued, "And the shape of this footprint is also very special. ”

"The shape is special? Why didn't I see it? ”

"Uncle, you ......" Hattori Heiji took a deep breath, "The owner of the villa laid a very long doormat in front of the door, just to prevent the sand and dust from the island from being brought into the house, so we didn't leave any footprints on the ground when we came in, but this footprint ......"

"The owner of this footprint must have been to the beach before." Conan suddenly spoke, with a serious expression, "His shoes were once wet with the sea, which is why fine sand stuck to the top of his toes, and he left marks on his toes. And......

There is only one fine beach on the island, and that is the beach outside the village office, and people who have been there today ......"

"It's Narumi Asai, right?" Hattori Heiji said in a deep voice, "Asai Narumi escaped from the back of the village office, and he will definitely pass by that beach. ”

Conan pursed his lips and didn't speak.

Asai Narumi's escape route does pass through the beach, but it doesn't get his shoes wet by the sea, and when Asai Narumi actually gets his shoes wet by the sea...... It's time to save him.

"Damn! Why, how could Miss Sung Sil ......"

Conan couldn't help but hammer the wall beside him.

Such abrupt movements, as well as the muttering sound in his mouth, immediately caught Mao Lilan's attention.

"Conan, did something happen between you and Miss Chengshi?" I don't know if it's a woman's sixth sense, Mao Lilan suddenly asked.

"Ahh Conan was startled, and suddenly felt a sense of excitement of being a thief, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, "No, no, why do you ask that, Sister Xiaolan?" ”

"Oh?" Mao Lilan's eyes sank, and he saw through Conan's weakness at a glance, then pursed his lips, and with the last trace of expectation, he smiled, "By the way, Conan, when I went to borrow a towel just now, you met Shinichi, right?" Did he tell you anything to tell me? ”

"Huh? New, Xinyi's brother said...... "Conan was stared at by Xiaolan and panicked, and he almost couldn't help but confess the fact that he had deceived Xiaolan again, but after thinking that as long as he could drink that kind of wine again, maybe he would be able to change back again, he immediately gritted his teeth again and resisted the impulse, "No, it's nothing, Brother Xinyi just said that suddenly there is a very important eucalyptus to investigate, let Sister Xiaolan, don't worry......"

"Oh, that's it, I see." Xiaolan's voice gradually turned colder.

In the end, I don't know if it's an illusion, Conan even felt that there was a kind of ...... in that 'understood' The numbness of complete disappointment?

…

"It's strange, judging from the footprints, this person's shoes are at least 26 sizes, if the suspect is really Dr. Chengshi...... Are her feet that big? ”

Just when Conan was worried about whether Ran knew something, Mori Kogoro's sudden words immediately caught his attention.

"What? Really! ”

Thinking back to Asai Narumi's 'weak' appearance, Conan, who didn't want the other party to be the murderer, suddenly couldn't think about Xiaolan's reaction, and hurriedly rushed forward to compare the number of grids on the floor, and then said in surprise:

"Yes, the murderer's shoe print is at least 26 centimeters, if it is a girl, she generally does not have such a big foot, and with the height of Sister Chengshi, the possibility is even lower!"

Trying too hard to prove that Aso was not the murderer, a certain detective didn't realize that his reasoning had gone one-sided, or even ...... Subconsciously ignoring the only possibility of the truth.

"Heh, a little ghost is a little ghost...... "Hattori Heiji stepped forward, looked at Conan with a happy face, and struck, "I originally doubted that your little ghost could actually be that kid from Kudo Shinichi, but now it seems that you are just a little bit of a little bit of a little brain." ”

"What, what do you mean?" Conan was stunned for a moment, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

"You're right, with Dr. Chengshi's height, it's true that a girl doesn't have such big feet, but what if ......" Hattori Heiji paused and said mysteriously, "She, no, it should be him, what if he wasn't a girl?" ”

"What...... This, how can this be ......" Conan subconsciously wanted to deny it, but the thinking ability of the detective in his brain made him have to choose silence.

Mao Lilan keenly noticed the strangeness of his childhood sweetheart, and closed his eyes in disappointment.

Heiji Hattori continued unnoticed:

"It's certainly possible, and it's very likely."

"Sherlock Holmes once said, 'When all the impossible has been eliminated, what remains, no matter how unbelievable, is the truth.'" ”

"When Asai Narumi escaped from the village office, this truth has been lingering back with us, but unfortunately we didn't find out at the time, but now it's ......"

"The destruction that is impossible to cause with a girl's physical strength, the footprints that cannot be possessed by a girl's body, and the hatred that cannot be possessed by a female doctor from Tokyo...... Everything points us in the same direction, the same truth, and that is ......"

"Asai Narumi actually...... Not a female doctor! ”

Hattori Heiji suddenly raised his hand and put on a handsome posture with a front finger, pointing straight at Hideo Kawashima, who began to tremble at some point.

"Mr. Kawashima, it seems that you have something in mind about the people who have a grudge against the head of Kuroiwa Village and Mr. Nishimoto?"

"I ......" Hideo Kawashima subconsciously took a step back and stood in the middle of the entrance, facing the door, "Cheng, Chengshi, I, I remember, twelve years ago, Keiji Aso's youngest son who was treated in Tokyo, his name was ......"

Bang!

Sudden gunshots rang out through the entrance.

Under the shocked gaze of everyone, a blood flower bloomed on Hideo Kawashima's temple, and the red and white that flew out splashed to the ground.

Mu Yuan was the first to turn his head and said calmly:

"Mr. Sung Sil."

Outside the door, Asa Shengmi was holding a gun with a resolute face, and a wisp of green smoke was emitting from the muzzle.
