The next day.
The sky became increasingly gloomy, making it difficult to tell the difference between day and night.
Thunder rumbled, but the rain lingered.
Early in the morning, Chi Feichi left without disturbing the sleeping Conan and Hattori Heiji, taking his computer bag and mobile phone.
Probably because it was too dark, there were not many pedestrians on the road. We arrived at Shimabukuro Kime's house. Not long after knocking on the door, lights came on in the yard. Shimabukuro Kime asked aloud, "Who is that?"
"I, Chi Feichi." Chi Feichi said.
After a moment, Shimabukuro Kime opened the door, looked over, and stepped out of the way, "Please come in, Mr. Chi is here very early."
"It's almost eight o'clock." Chi Feichi reminded.
But eight o'clock in the morning is the same as eight o'clock at night. The weather today is really weird.
It seems that for most events related to the organization, the weather will not be very good...
"Really? I thought it wasn't dawn yet." Shimabukuro Kime closed the door, led the way inside, and fell silent.
"Can you take me to the bathroom?" Chi Feichi suddenly asked.
Shimabukuro Kimie hesitated for a moment, then nodded and led the way to the bathroom.
Chi Feichi took a look after entering the door. Sure enough, it was the same as he thought last night, and there were more traces.
Shimabukuro Kimie stood at the door, "Didn't Mr. Chi bring anyone else here?"
"No, I just don't understand something. I want to ask Miss Shimabukuro. I don't plan to tell them until I figure it out. Maybe..." Chi Feichi turned around and left the bathroom, "This is what Miss Shimabukuro thinks because of some difficulties." A secret to keep.”
Shimabukuro Kime brought Chi Fei to a room late, poured hot tea, knelt down on the opposite side, and then asked, "What did Mr. Chi find?"
"Before that, I want to ask Miss Shimabukuro a question," Chi Feichi looked directly at Shimabukuro Kime, "Have you always taken care of your grandma?"
"Hmm..." Shimabukuro Kime lowered his eyes.
She probably guessed what Chi Feichi discovered. She didn't find out that she was the murderer, but that she should be...
"Bathrooms are poorly ventilated, and the temperature and humidity are too high, which will cause the oxygen content in the air to be too low, and the elderly will be weak. Taking a bath in that kind of bathroom, even if they are in good health and do not have heart disease, high blood pressure, etc. People may also experience dizziness, palpitations, chest tightness, etc., and they may die suddenly if they are not careful, which is very dangerous," Chi Feichi said calmly, "The bathroom design of Ms. Shimabukuro's house only has a grille-type ventilation window above. When I saw the amount of hot air being discharged, I felt something was wrong. There was too little hot air. The bathroom should be filled with hot air. If a 130-year-old man took a bath in this kind of bathroom, he would be able to come out alive the first time, but not the second time. .”
Shimabukuro Kime remained silent, unable to refute.
She used to feel stuffy when taking a shower in the bathroom, but since there were no real elderly people at home, she didn't take it to heart.
"Actually, last night Ms. Shimabukuro didn't take care of your grandma's bath and see us off. It was very strange. An elderly man taking a bath alone is the most worrying situation for the family. A 130-year-old man , the great-granddaughter looks very filial. When she takes a bath, it is impossible not to worry about her slipping in the bathroom or suddenly feeling uncomfortable in the bathroom. Not to mention accompanying her in the bathroom, at least she will not be too far away from the bathroom door. , in order to cope with various emergencies, let alone send guests to the gate." Chi Feichi took a sip of tea, looked at Shimabukuro Kimie calmly, and continued, "And I just saw it, a There is no anti-slip mat in the bathroom where the elderly go to take a bath, and it is the kind of wooden floor that is easy to slip if water is spilled. This is also unreasonable. In other words, there is not a 130-year-old man living in this home. does not exist."
Shimabukuro Kimie took a deep breath and nodded, "You are right."
"There is only one bathroom in your home, and it seems that you have maintained that design for a long time." Chi Feichi paused, "Not just recently, it should be said that Changshou Po has not existed for a long time, otherwise the family would have found it inconvenient. And the bathroom was rebuilt…”
"You are really a powerful person," Shimabukuro Kimie lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly, "You only came here once and you discovered the secret that our family has hidden for many years. Yes, in fact, many years ago, Changshou Po had not Real existence has been playing the role of destiny since my grandmother, then my mother, and then me..."
The tea cup was swept down, and the tea was swept all over the floor. It rolled around on the ground a few times and broke into Shimabukuro Kimie's sight.
"Thank you very much for not spreading the news rashly after you found out, but instead came to me to ask about my difficulties..."
Shimabukuro Kimie raised his head, looked at the man lying on the table, and sighed, "Although I'm really...sorry."
Chi Feichi only saw the secret behind Changshou Po, but did not see that she was a murderer. It was normal to be unprepared.
She stayed up all night last night, worried that Chi Feichi would discover that she was the murderer, and also thought that Chi Feichi just discovered that her grandmother did not exist.
She considered the worst outcome and also thought about killing Chi Feichi, but just thinking about it, she just wanted to avenge her mother and didn't want to kill Chi Feichi.
Especially this morning, knowing that Chi Feichi had just seen through Changshou Po's affair, and seeing that Chi Feichi was unprepared, she didn't want to hurt Chi Feichi even more.
"I hope you can sleep well here for a while..."
Shimabukuro Kime smiled, looked away, stood up and took out the mobile phone from Chi Feichi's coat pocket, removed the battery, went out with the battery, locked the door, and then turned around and left.
When everything is over, if she is not exposed as the murderer, she will come to explain to Chi Feichi and only talk about Changshou Po. If the other detectives investigate and find out that she is the murderer...
Then at least she had her revenge.
Before that, she didn't want to have such a keen person hanging around outside, and even her revenge plan would be ruined.
There is still one……
There's only one left...
…
As the door was locked and the footsteps outside the door moved away, the room became quiet and dark.
After a while, Chi Feichi opened his eyes, sat up straight, took out his handkerchief and spit out the tea in his mouth.
When he entered this room, he understood that Shimabukuro Kime had chosen this place to do his thing.
The window is very high and narrow. It must have been a storage room in the past.
Judging from the marks on the floor in the room, it was estimated that things were moved out just last night, and tables, chairs and simple furnishings were put in, pretending to be an ordinary lounge.
The best way is...drug!
The 'warning' he gave last night was a bit scary. Shimabukuro Kimie would never choose to attack at close range again.
And if Shimabukuro Kimie chooses to drug him, he can completely avoid it as long as he is prepared.
He held most of the tea in his mouth and swallowed a small part, using his own feelings to determine whether it was a coma-causing drug or a toxin. Then, based on the strength of his own feelings, he calculated the drug content in the tea and performed the most realistic attack time and effect. scene.
It doesn't matter if it's a toxin. He has a lot of toxin antibodies and he won't die if he swallows just a little bit.
But if it was poison, he would consider standing up and knocking Shimabukuro down to forcefully end the case.
If Shimabukuro Kimie chose to kill him after he was unconscious, the result would be the same.
But now it seems that Shimabukuro Kimie doesn't want to hurt other people, so he doesn't care.
Judging from the time of the crime, Shimabukuro Kimie had already killed Kadowaki Saori before they came. He never thought about it from the beginning. Since the revenge had already begun, let the girl finish her revenge.
If his mother is killed, he will not let those people go lightly, let alone legal sanctions. He just wants to see the other person die miserably, the more miserably the better!
Of course, he will not help Shimabukuro Kimie escape guilt.
Conan and Hattori Heiji are not easy to fool. Even if all the current evidence and clues are destroyed, there may be other clues.
If you do it, it will leave traces. The more you try to eliminate the traces, the more mistakes and omissions you will leave.
In fact, if it had been earlier, he would have advised Shimabukuro Kimie: Don't commit any murders. When those few people get together, the arrangements will be blown up...
Doing this makes it difficult to even lock in the motivation.
Vendetta? Accidentally became a scapegoat?
Next, just investigating the interpersonal relationships of those few people will take a long time.
When Shimabukuro Kimie's mother was killed, those few people did not dare to tell the outside world. The only person who knew about it was himself, and the possibility of being found out was very low. Shimabukuro Kimie will always be the good friend of these people who grew up together. friend.
Even if the feud between a few people is found out, as long as you are careful before obtaining the explosives and placing them, it will be difficult to find evidence.
You can even say - 'I'm sorry, I didn't know about this matter. I really didn't expect that my mother was locked up in a warehouse and burned to death by a few of them. '
In the end, the case had to be dropped.
Just like the saying in the Sherlock Holmes series "The Red-Headed Club" - unusual phenomena can always provide people with some clues, while cases with no characteristics are difficult to detect.
But then again, if Shimabukuro Kime really does this, he will think that this woman is scary, and she is born to be a member of the organization...
After Chi Feichi felt that the dizziness had completely disappeared, he took out his laptop and turned it on.
Therefore, it is better to be stupid.
Shimabukuro Kimie was probably convinced that he had been knocked down, so he only took away his mobile phone battery to prevent others from calling him and being found by following the ringtone of his mobile phone, but she never thought that he would get up on his own, so I didn't even search his bag.
If you knew that his cell phone never had a ringtone and always vibrated, I'm afraid he wouldn't even take away the cell phone battery...
…
hostel.
In a room on the second floor, Hattori Heiji and Conan woke up one after another.
Hattori Heiji looked at the sky outside, yawned, took out his phone and looked at the time, and suddenly became energetic, "It's already 9 o'clock in the morning..."
"Huh? Is it 9 o'clock?" Conan, who was rubbing his eyes, suddenly woke up. He looked at the sky outside and then at the empty tatami next to him. "Brother Chi should have gotten up early. He might have finished his morning exercise by this time. It’s breakfast in the restaurant.”
"Then let's hurry over. He's really energetic..." Hattori Heiji sighed and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.
The two of them were busy and went to the restaurant downstairs, and found that Mao Lilan, Yuan Shan and Ye had already arrived.
"Brother Fei Chi hasn't woken up yet?" Yuan Shan and Ye were surprised. She also thought that the boys would also get together.
"I drank with my father until after two o'clock in the morning last night. I probably haven't woken up yet." Mao Lilan said to Yuanshan and Ye with a smile.
"No," Hattori Heiji sat down opposite the two girls, "He was no longer in the room when we got up. Didn't you see him in the restaurant?"
Conan climbed onto the chair next to him and sat down, "Maybe he went to morning exercise and hasn't come back yet..."
The four of them finished breakfast together, and then Mouri Kogoro tidied up. After Moori Kogoro finished his breakfast, he prepared to attend Ebihara Hisumi's wake, but Chi Feichi still didn't come back...
Hattori Heiji made a call, and when he heard the notification tone on the other side, he looked hesitant and solemn, "It's strange, the phone can't be connected at all..."
