Detective Conan: Becoming a Zaibatsu - Starting with Joining the Winery

On the other side, at the crime scene.

The two famous detectives who voluntarily handed their girlfriends over to Lin Mo, completely disregarding their increasingly green hair, could only helplessly watch as the fire engulfed the crime scene after taking over the scene using their 'detective' identities.

Their eyes reflected the raging fire.

The two men looked extremely grim, knowing that the case seemed hopeless.

no way!

Fire will destroy most of the evidence; any clues that might have existed will be wiped out in a single fire.

Putting out fires? It's pointless!

The fire is now too large, and the best time to put it out has long passed.

And, in response to this.

Conan and Heiji Hattori were helpless, but they had no right to blame others, after all, the neighbors at the crime scene had said...

Although they dared not show their faces to see the actual situation, they could hear from their ears that there were at least three murderers, and all of them were carrying guns and ammunition.

In this situation, who would dare to step forward?

If they even peek out, they might die!

An hour later.

After the Metropolitan Police Department arrived by helicopter, the fire at the crime scene was gradually extinguished, and the Metropolitan Police Department personnel immediately began their investigation.

After conducting an investigation, Sato began his report.

"Inspector Shiratori, this case..."

"Why!"

"A large number of bullet casings were found at the scene, a small portion of which were pistol bullets, but most of them were submachine gun bullets. A large number of grenade fragments were also found."

"This is true at both sites."

"Oh, right!"

"During our investigation, we also discovered a third crime scene."

"The crime scene contained a female corpse. Due to severe burns, the time of death could not be determined. However, based on bone age, it is similar to the case of Kadokawa Saori investigated by Hattori Heiji."

"Therefore, it can be highly likely that the deceased over there is Kadokawa Saori!"

"Upon investigation..."

"The deceased tonight, Saori Monkyo (suspected), Tomi Ebihara, and Naoko Kuroe, were all close friends."

"However, after our investigation, none of the three had any debts, no connection with yakuza organizations, and no other special professions were found."

"Under normal circumstances, they have not had any contact with underground forces."

"only……"

"Judging from the situation at the crime scene, this was definitely not an ordinary revenge killing. After all, even if an ordinary person wanted revenge, they wouldn't be able to get their hands on a handgun, submachine gun, and hand grenade."

"Furthermore, judging from the statements of the neighbors at the crime scene, tonight's case was committed by a group of at least three people. It is impossible for a normal person to gather so many people for revenge."

"Therefore, our judgment is that it is most likely an assassination by a yakuza organization or underground force, but we cannot find out what other professions the three people have at the moment."

"Oh, right!"

"We also discovered something else, which, although seemingly unrelated to the case, appears to be somewhat connected."

"The longevity woman here is a fake!"

"Previously, the role was played by Kimie Shimabukuro's mother, but now it's played by Kimie Shimabukuro. It seems that Kimie Shimabukuro's mother died three years ago."

"The cause has not yet been determined."

"Shimabukuro Kimie was a friend of the three deceased. We originally wanted to find out more about the situation from Shimabukuro Kimie, but we discovered that Shimabukuro Kimie had quietly left the island tonight, leaving only a farewell letter."

After saying that.

Sato Miwako unfolded a letter that was sealed in an evidence bag and handed it to Shiratori Ninzaburo, who was in charge.

And, in response to this.

Shiratori Ninzaburo yawned as he took the letter in front of him.

then……

A face like an old man on the subway!

What the hell.

"The world is so big, I want to go see it."

The beginning of the letter left him completely bewildered.

Then.

After briefly reading the contents of the letter, Shiratori Ninzaburo couldn't help but sigh softly.

A girl who had been playing the role of a long-lived old woman for three years still longed for the outside world. So, taking advantage of this year's dugong festival, she secretly contacted her classmate in Tokyo and took her away from the island under the cover of night.

Ok……

No problem!

After yawning again, Shiratori Ninzaburo said, "Since it's unrelated to the case, let's skip it for now."

"After the case is closed, we'll ask her to submit a supplementary statement!"

"Let's go."

"Let's see if our Mori detective has any other leads."

After saying that.

Shiratori Ninzaburo walked towards Kogoro Mouri!

Obviously.

The daily torment of a mountain of cases had long since worn off Shiratori Ninzaburo, and now he had completely accepted Inspector Megure's advice.

He's completely giving up now!

Once you enter the crime scene, your mind is basically blank. Your first thought is to look around the crime scene to see if there's a scapegoat... cough cough, detectives are here!

If so? Then it's a sure thing!

If not, then it depends on the abilities of your subordinates.

If we can find the case, then we'll take action; if we can't, then we'll classify it as an unsolved case!

With so many cases solved by detectives, it's normal for a few unsolved cases to appear occasionally, and that's enough to satisfy the higher-ups.

But now!

Since "Sleeping Kogoro" is here, we don't need to think about this. We can just wait for "Sleeping Kogoro" to come on stage.

Unfortunately, it's a pity.

The Sleeping Kogoro is a fake; the current Kogoro Mouri is also in a state of confusion.

On the contrary, Conan and Heiji Hattori were extremely excited at this moment, and were basically checking up on Kimie Shimabukuro!

The reasoning is simple!

The most basic process of elimination.

Since we can't figure out how the enemy got the weapons, let's put those thoughts aside for now, peel back all the complicated clues, and start by investigating the places where we can find clues.

At the very least.

After tonight's case, Kimie Shimabukuro has become very conspicuous.

First of all.

Kimie Shimabukuro was a close friend of all three deceased individuals!

Secondly...

Kimie Shimabukuro's mother died under mysterious circumstances three years ago!

have to say.

Heiji Hattori and Conan are both quite capable.

Through interviews with the villagers on the island, they learned that the three deceased had all spoken ill of the "Longevity Granny" three years ago, and importantly, someone had overheard it by chance...

The three people who died tonight had wanted to test whether the "Longevity Granny" was truly immortal three years ago, and had even tried burning the Longevity Granny in the warehouse three years ago.

After that incident, the Longevity Granny reappeared, causing the island's fame to skyrocket once again.

But what is the truth?

If the longevity granny is a fake, then that's interesting!

Was the mother of Kimie Shimabukuro, who died three years ago, killed by the three victims tonight?

Thinking about this...

The two quickly found Shiratori Ninzaburo and briefly explained the situation. Shiratori Ninzaburo then began to take the matter seriously.

Then.

He immediately contacted the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters and asked them to find Kimie Shimabukuro as quickly as possible!
