The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 348 The Mermaid Island Incident Ends

"But, if the arrow is not there..."

Bai Masong stopped talking here.

However, Conan and Hattori Heiji both knew what the following words meant.

If the arrow is not there, it means the murderer has retrieved it.

No matter where it was recycled, at least they can't find it in a short time.

And if the murderer could retrieve the arrow outside the Ebihara house, then he would definitely not be inside the Ebihara house.

They no longer need to continue blocking the people present here. It is all in vain, the murderer has already escaped!

About thirty minutes later, the well-digging officer sent someone back.

"White Horse Officer,"

The returning police officer reported to Bai Masong,

"We have not yet found any objects similar to arrows on the beach outside the Ebihara family's yard."

"However, since it is late at night and there is no light around, the light is dim, so we will continue the search. Officer Digging Wells said that he will continue to organize a large-scale search tomorrow."

"Well, I see."

Bai Masong replied calmly.

It seemed as if he had already anticipated this situation.

However, Conan and Hattori Heiji were angry.

hateful!

They thought, this murderer is so cunning!

"It's not necessarily that he is too cunning, but that the criminals you encounter are too idealistic."

Bai Masong may have seen through the two people's thoughts, turned his head and spoke in a flat tone.

"Brother Song..."

Hattori Heiji looked a little indignant. The criminals they had encountered before were considered highly intelligent criminals. How could they say that all the criminals they had encountered before were...

"That's why I said it was too idealistic."

Bai Ma Song once again seemed to have the ability to read minds and continued speaking.

"In the cases you have encountered before, many suspects have accidentally come up with criminal schemes that allow them to evade police pursuit, and even when faced with police investigations, they calmly accept them."

"This is undoubtedly idealistic and stupid."

After hearing what Hakubamatsu said, Hattori Heiji and Conan suddenly felt that the criminals they had encountered before were really quite stupid.

However, they really don't want to give up just like that!

"Brother Bai Ma, is there really no other way?"

Conan also asked.

Bai Masong shook his head slowly.

"We are just three people, there is only so much we can do, the rest is actually physical work, you have to learn to leave it to the police."

Bai Masong has already made it very clear. What remains is to visit and investigate, and screen the suspects one by one.

All police officers can do these things well, just let them go.

...........................

Time passed quickly and the night was over in a flash.

This day was also the third day that Bai Masong and others arrived on the American Island.

The case is still under intensive and orderly investigation, but the Fukui Prefectural Police have still not found any new clues.

Of course, not only Naoko Kuroe's case, but also Sumi Ebihara's case is under intensive investigation.

But all this actually has nothing to do with Bai Masong and others for the time being.

Hakuba Matsu has already explained all the key points to Officer Horii, so he just dragged Conan and Hattori Heiji down with him to be useless.

After all, for the remaining things, one more laborer from him wouldn't make much difference, and one less laborer from him wouldn't make much either, so there was no need for him to continue to get involved.

Conan and Hattori Heiji have also adjusted their mindsets. After all, in life, not every case can go smoothly, and they have already expected this.

Amid the atmosphere of case investigation, a major event also happened on the American island - Shimabukuro Kimie made an official announcement!

Of course, she didn’t officially announce her boyfriend, but she officially announced her identity as a long-lived woman.

She summoned all the old people on the island, as well as most of the young and middle-aged people, and gathered them all at the shrine. She announced her identity as the Longevity Lady to them and took off her disguise as the Longevity Lady.

Bai Masong and others were naturally present at this ceremony.

Conan and the others were even more stunned. They really couldn't connect a short old woman like Changshoupo with a young girl like Shimabukuro Kimie.

However, their thoughts could not influence Shimabukuro Kimie.

Shimabukuro Kimie said that after experiencing this incident, she felt sad and uncomfortable. She had completely seen through it. The so-called immortality is actually a self-deceiving scam.

This self-deceiving scam has caused the deaths of two of her good friends, and the remaining one is missing. She thinks it is time to end this farce.

So, she decided to reveal her identity - there has never been a long-lived woman in this world, nor is there any so-called immortality.

During this revelation ceremony, there were also vested interests on the island who were blinded by greed and wanted to stop her, but it was useless because there were too many people from outside the island present, and the rumor that the longevity lady did not exist would immediately spread throughout the island with the news.

Shimabukuro Kimie was just informing them today instead of discussing with them.

After doing all this, Shimabukuro Kimie once again entertained Shiramasatsu and others, returned all the 3 million yen to Shiramasatsu, and made a sincere apology.

Bai Masong took back the money with a cold face. He did not blame her too much, but just told Shimabukuro Kimie not to lie again.

Others expressed concern for Shimabukuro Kimie and hoped that she could find a place and start a new life.

Shimabukuro Kimie hesitated for a long time and finally accepted everyone's suggestion.

...............

Another day passed. This was the fourth day that Bai Masong and others had arrived on the American Island.

This day was also the day when Bai Masong and his crew returned.

The difference from when they came was that Shimabukuro Kimie also boarded the ship back to Tokyo with them.

Looking at the three young girls playing around, Hattori Heiji stood beside Hakuba Song and whispered,

"Brother Song, the mermaid skeleton from three years ago was actually Miss Jun Hui's mother, right?"

"Ah."

Bai Ma Song nodded.

"You already knew that Miss Jun Hui is the longevity lady, right?"

Hattori Heiji continued to ask.

"Well, I actually have another mission here, which is to investigate the fire three years ago."

Bai Masong said lightly.

"Oh?"

Hattori Heiji was a little confused.

"so?"

"The ones who set the fire were actually Ebihara Sumi and the other two."

Bai Ma Song said quietly.

"what?"

Hattori Heiji was very surprised, even shocked, but he also understood something.

"No wonder they are so crazy about mermaids. So this is the reason."

"However, Miss Jun Hui..."

"she does not know."

Bai Masong shook his head slightly.

Hattori Heiji patted his chest and whispered,

"Fortunately, fortunately, let Miss Jun Hui keep the best memories in the past."

"Um......"
