Monkyo Benzo is not at home.
To be precise, he has not returned home at all from yesterday to now.
Conan and others rushed to nothing.
Of course, he was not interested in a room that he had already searched once.
"Shouldn't it be Shazhi..."
Shimabukuro Junhui kept Ye Gengyi's instructions in mind, spoke only half a sentence, and never expressed his own opinions.
"No way, that's his daughter..." Mouri Kogoro was startled, but a little uneasy, "Anyway, before the police come, everyone must not be left alone! I don't want any more victims... .”
Menxie yarn weaving? The mermaid of the waterfall...the fragments of the mirror, and the craze for mermaids...
Suddenly, Hattori Heiji remembered what Ye Gengyi had said before, "That's right! The sound of the waves..."
"Wave? Osaka boy, what are you talking about?" Mouri Kogoro was confused.
"No! Maybe Monkyo Benzo went to the shrine!" Hattori Heiji didn't have time to explain and ran directly outside.
"Hey! Wait a minute..." Several people didn't know what was happening and had no choice but to follow.
Shimabukuro Kimie was shocked again.
Why?
Why does the mermaid know that whenever he mentions Saori, these detectives from Tokyo will think of the shrine?
So... so awesome...
...
Because on the way to the back mountain, one must pass by the shrine, so things did not go as Ye Gengyi expected.
Through the positioning device, we learned that before going to Mermaid Falls, Monkyo Benzo went to the shrine and stole the list of selling number plates.
[Sir, Shimabukuro Kimie has been detected, moving towards the shrine. 】
It went quite smoothly.
Ye Gengyi raised his head and glanced at the gloomy sky.
The hint I gave to Hattori Heiji also worked, although I might feel sorry for that little black guy if I think so.
However, if they did not lay the groundwork, but directly asked Shimabukuro Kimie to tell him, "Will Monkyo Benzo go to the shrine to steal the roster?", Heiji and Conan would still suspect Shimabukuro Kimie because of their detective instincts afterwards. Said intention.
Therefore, if you want to mislead them and make them think that the clues are your own, you must use "casual remarks" to prompt them.
The content given should not be too simple and clear. They should be allowed to associate and reason on their own, and have the idea of 'so...that's what happened' without any violation.
Therefore, the way to deal with smart people is never to cover up, but to put the 'truth' in front of them.
The truth is...
"The roster is missing."
Shimabukuro Kimie rummaged in the drawer, "After you saw it yesterday, I clearly put everything here."
Mouri Kogoro gritted his teeth, "It must have been stolen by Monkyo Benzo! Damn it, that guy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps on the corridor outside the door.
Several people had been holding back a ball of anger for a long time, and now it finally completely exploded.
With a crash, the barrier was opened by Mouri Kogoro.
However, the person walking this way is...
"More one?"
"Huh? Mr. Mori... Heiji," Ye Geng stood still and asked proactively: "Why are you here?"
"Let's... let's not talk about this for now!" Mouri Kogoro said: "Did you see anyone suspicious just now?"
"No." Ye Gengyi shook his head and directly told his clues: "The fishing boats on the outlying islands are all parked in the port, and there is no trace of Monkyo Benzo. What about you?"
"He didn't go home either, but the roster was missing." Mouri Kogoro said with a gloomy face, "I guess that guy must have thought that the police took away the evidence against him before they came."
"The mountain road is muddy and it is easy to leave traces." Ye Gengyi said: "Even if he destroys the roster, there is no way for him to clear away the suspicion with witnesses like us."
"Well, you are right, Genichi." Mouri Kogoro nodded, preparing to expand the search range.
"By the way, Brother Saraichi, are you here just because of the roster?" Hattori Heiji asked.
"Well, Heiji, Xiaolan, and Heye, come here, I have something to tell you." Ye Gengyi did not answer directly. When he said this, he deliberately made a pause, and then called Fukuyama Rokuro. He waved, "Mr. Fukuyama, come here too."
At this time, Mouri Kogoro had already begun to circle the shrine and began to collect traces of Monkyo Benzo's visit here.
Conan didn't hesitate when he saw this, and decisively came to Ye Gengyi's side, ready to hear what secrets the other party had discovered.
When Shimabukuro Kime saw that these people excepted him, before he could panic, the phone in his pocket vibrated again.
content of email:
[The matter of Changshou Po has been exposed, don’t worry, calm down. Don't interfere with your revenge plan. 】
This way.
Ye Gengyi also quietly told Heiji and others about this discovery.
"What?! Changshou Po is Jun Hui..."
Fukuyama Rokuro said he was shocked.
Maori Lanyuanshan and Ye covered their mouths in surprise.
Heiji and Conan also looked stunned.
"It is said that all the old people on the island know about it," Ye Gengyi said, not forgetting to trick Monkyo Benzo once: "Perhaps it is because he knows the truth about mermaids that Monkyo Benzo dares to sell dugong arrows unscrupulously."
"Oh, no wonder Miss Shimabukuro put out the bath water for the old lady yesterday and just brought the roster over..."
Conan sighed.
The murder case last night made him ignore why a 130-year-old man who was trembling when he walked didn't need anyone to serve him when he took a bath.
However, since it is a secret known to older people, it seems that this matter has nothing to do with the murder case...
"It seems that we still need to find Monkyo Benzo first." Hattori Heiji said, about to leave for the back mountain.
Clues appeared one after another, and he couldn't help but believe that the drunkard was the murderer.
"It's too dangerous to go up the mountain now. It's best to wait until the rain stops and the police come to search the mountain." Ye Gengyi stopped him and said, "Besides, Monkyo Benzo may not have hid in the back mountain."
"But..."
"Then let me go with you!" Fukuyama Rokuro said: "I've been climbing the back mountain since I was a kid. If the weather gets bad, I can bring you back safely."
"That's great," Hattori Heiji said with a firm expression, "I absolutely cannot let that murderer who cares about human life continue to be at large."
Ye Gengyi: "..."
Thanks, I was offended...
"Brother Genichi, just let me go!" Hattori Heiji insisted.
"Okay, then Conan Xiaolan and He Ye will stay." Ye Gengyi said, "I'll go with you."
"No!" Yuan Shan and Ye immediately expressed their stance: "I want to go too!"
"What are you going to do? Just stay here!" Hattori Heiji objected.
Yuan Shan and Ye blushed, "Because it was you who said, don't let me leave your side until the truth comes out..."
"Ah?" Hattori Heiji sweated, "I did say something similar, but... ok, ok, don't cause any trouble to me!"
Ye Gengyi: "..."
Forget it, he still won't go. Anyway, whether Monkyo Benzo is dead or alive is not that important.
