When everyone walked out of the shrine and felt the warm sunshine shining on their bodies, the chill in their hearts subsided a little.

"Heiji...I'm afraid...we don't investigate this case."

Heye grabbed Heiji's arm tightly and whispered, while Xiaolan next to him also grabbed Conan and shook her head.

"Me too, new... Conan, this should be the same as my father said, it's just an accident, well, it must be just an accident..."

Conan and Hattori Heiji didn't care about their girlfriends' performance, but continued to discuss the case in a low voice.

"What do you think? Hattori?"

"I think...it's hard to say."

Hattori Heiji also frowned and was confused.

"To be honest, after listening to Miss Shimabukuro Kin-ei, I felt that she had a motive for murder."

"That's right, but there is only the motive for murder. If Miss Shimabukuro Kin-ei said it correctly, then the three people were already dead before she planned the murder."

Conan nodded, and he was also a little confused about the development of the situation.

"But...a website?"

"Can she buys murder and regrets it?"

"It should not be like. If Shimabukuro Kan-ei bought a murderer, she shouldn't have said it in front of us at all. And Hattori, have you noticed it? She was very cooperative with our inquiries, just like..."

“It’s like asking for our help.”

Hattori Heiji also understood Conan's meaning. As high school detectives, they often encounter such things. After all, sometimes, many people are uncertain about the difficulties they encounter, and the police may not necessarily take action, so it becomes the choice for those people to solve the problem by asking them, high school detectives.

And Shimabukuro Kine's performance is the same as many client they have met before.

But...she is obviously a suspect!

"If I were asked to say anything, either she was very confident in her killing method and thought we would never be able to solve the case, so she deliberately said it and induced us, or she was………………”

"Or it's all about Miss Shimabukuro Kin-ei telling the truth."

Conan also took Hattori Heiji's words and looked speechless.

"She really wanted to kill Miss Monhisaori and the others, so after she learned the truth, she immediately thought of this urban legend. However, at that time, perhaps Miss Shimabukuro Kin-ei was just venting..."

"Yes, it's like a scarecrow."

Hattori Heiji nodded. This situation is actually quite common. Many people seem to be very gentle on weekdays, but they also have people who hate it, so it is normal to secretly tuck a small paper man behind their backs. As detectives, they have seen too much of this kind of thing.

"But what Miss Shimabukuro Kin-ei didn't expect was that the urban legend actually came true."

"So she's scared, too."

"That's why I came to us for help."

The two of them straightened out the whole relationship with each other, but... this is even more unacceptable!

They would rather believe that this was Shimabukuro Kine who made a perfect murder, and felt that he was very stable and would never be discovered, so they said it directly to provoke these detectives!

However, this does not make sense in theory, because the fire three years ago was not an accident but a man-made incident. Before that, only three victims knew that Shimabukuro Kine also learned the truth from Monoshiro Saori's father because of Monoshiro Saori's father sold the arrow.

In other words, as long as Shimabukuro Kin-ei doesn't say it, it is absolutely impossible for them to find Shimabukuro Kin-ei's motive for murder...

But they told you directly……………

"We might as well hear what Mr. Fang Zheng thinks.

"By the way, Fang Zhengxian......Hmm? Where is Mr. Fang Zheng?"

The two famous detectives Kanto Kansai thought for a long time, then turned around and found that Fang Zheng, who was following them, had no sign of it now. When they heard their inquiry, Xiaoran and Kazuye, who were standing next to them, pointed to the shrine. At this time, Hattori Heiji and Conan discovered that Fang Zheng was standing at the gate and were talking to Shimabukuro Kine, and the latter nodded constantly.

Seeing this scene...

"Did Mr. Fang Zheng ask her to plead guilty?"

"Let's go and have a look!!"

At this moment, Conan and Hattori Heiji walked over excitedly. Their original expectation was that Shimabukuro Kin-ei saw them coming, and then smiled bitterly, saying, "I really didn't expect you to see through it. Yes, I killed them." Then there was the process of confession of the criminals they were familiar with...

Oh, this has been passed before.

However………

"Thank you, Mr. Fang Zheng."

"You're welcome. After this matter is over, you can go find me, just make this call."

Hattori Heiji and Conan just watched Fang Zheng take out a business card and handed it to Shimabukuro Kine, then nodded and turned away, while Shimabukuro Kine bowed deeply to Fang Zheng...

“………………………………”

What is this going on?

"What are you doing?"

At this time, Fang Zheng also noticed Hattori Heiji and Conan not far away, and asked in confusion. Conan blinked and looked at Fang Zheng.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, what did you say to Shimabukuro Kine?"

"Oh, nothing, look, this Changshou Woman can't play anymore. Everyone knows that all the tricks are exposed, and it will only add to the pain if he continues to act. So I talked with Miss Shimabukuro Kin-ei about the future development of the Mermaid Island. The legend of mermaid can continue to be circulated. As for the rumors about the Changshou Woman... Miss Shimabukuro Kin-ei will find some time to discuss with the people on the island, and then give the news that the Changshou Woman has passed away. After all, an old lady has lived for 130 years, and it will be normal for normal people to die."

"What should I do if I don't have the Longevity Woman?"

At this moment, Xiaolan and Heye also came over and asked when they heard this.

"The festival can be held in a different way. Moreover, if a person lives to die at the age of 130, although it does not meet the standard of immortality, it is enough for people to yearn for. People are asking for this dugong arrow to seek longevity and peace. Who will really strive for immortality?"

"Well……………"

After hearing Fang Zheng said this, everyone looked at each other.

That said, it seems to be the same...

"But this doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, Mr. Fang Zheng, right?"

Hattori Heiji also reacted now. Indeed, the future of this Mermaid Island is quite worrying, but it seems that there is nothing to do with Fang Zheng?

"Who said no?"

Fang Zheng silently glanced at Hattori Heiji.

"Umbrella intends to enter the tourism industry. The transformation of Mermaid Island is a good start for us to try the waters. The festivals on this island are actually just a gimmick. What is important is the environment for people to visit. The seafood here is rich in fresh, delicious and cheap, and it is not more attractive to tourists than anything like immortality?"

When Conan heard this, he was also stunned.

"So you and Miss Shimabukuro Kin-ei just now..."

"Well, that's right, what I'm talking about with her is Umbrella's investment in Mermaid Island."

Faced with this answer, Conan and Hattori Heiji rolled their eyes together.

"But she is a suspect, Mr. Fang Zheng, if she killed Menwei Saori and the others......"

"She didn't lie just now."

Before Hattori Heiji finished speaking, Fang Zheng interrupted him.

"I'm very sure that this is not what she killed."

Of course, she didn't kill the person, it was Fang Zheng's own self-control.

Hearing this, Conan and Hattori Heiji looked at each other speechlessly.

The reason why they like to invite Founder to solve cases is not because they like Fang Zheng's reasoning ability, because Founder himself said that he is not interested in reasoning, but Fang Zheng's accuracy in looking at people is first-class. If Conan and Hattori Heiji are two academic masters and cases are practice questions, then Fang Zheng is actually equivalent to the "reference answer" of this exercise question, but just like the answers to the exercise question, he only gives the answers, not the process.

The problem-solving process still requires the academic masters such as Conan to solve it themselves.

There is another reason why Conan invited Founder.

To be honest, it starts when Mr. Sayuri was almost poisoned after getting married.

At that time, Fang Zheng saw through the groom's plan and stopped his poisoning operation on the spot, which shocked and hit Conan.

Indeed, as a detective, Conan, or Shinichi Kudo, is quite outstanding. He can detect the other party’s problems through the traces left by the other party, inadvertent actions and other tiny subtle points.

But there is a problem with this.

That is the so-called trace, which is often left behind afterwards.

In other words, by the time he found out, everyone was already dead.

No matter how awesome the detective is, he can only catch the prisoner and avenge the victim.

But Fang Zheng is different. He can detect the criminal in advance, stop the other party and stop the crime!

This is what Conan and Hattori Heiji don't have.

Although they occasionally noticed that something was wrong with the murderer before the crime, they could only be curious and confused. After all, they did not have this ability, and they could not tell from the fierce eyes of others whether he really wanted to kill the other party or simply looked at others unhappy.

Moreover, it was not the first time Fang Zheng showed this ability in front of them. In the Memories Egg incident, he set his sights on Shi Kaobing. In the subsequent incidents of police killing, he was the first to discover the prisoner, and also prevented the other party from almost killing Officer Sato and Xiaolan.

To be honest, Conan now hopes that he has the ability to observe people's hearts compared to his reasoning ability.

However, he also found that this ability was obviously difficult to master. After all, the evidence and clues of detective observation are fixed, but the micro-expression observed by Fang Zheng is likely to change by only one thousandth of a second, and it is difficult for outsiders to really master it. This is not the field of "self-taught".

So Conan decided that if he encountered any invitations in the future, he would invite Fang Zheng to the side. After all, he could at least be just in case, right?
