"At least so far, she is the biggest suspect, isn't she?"
Kogoro Mori remained silent.
"Um..." Yuanshan Heye whispered, "Should we tell the longevity lady about this news?"
Xiaolan couldn't bear it: "Miss Junhui is Changshoupo's only relative. If she knew that Miss Junhui was murdered, she would definitely not be able to accept it."
"But at least we should go see her, just in case..."
"Then let's go together."
"Uh-huh."
……
The incident was confusing. Although Hattori Heiji had determined the direction of the investigation, he still found nothing after investigation. At this time, Xiaolan and Toyama Kazuha brought him surprising news.
"What? You said that old woman is missing?" Hattori Heiji looked at Xiaolan and Toyama Kazuha in amazement: "How is this possible..."
"It's the real Heiji." Toyama Kazuha said anxiously, "We searched the entire house and asked the residents nearby, but no one said they saw the Longevity Lady."
"That's strange." Hattori Heiji frowned, "Given her physical condition, she shouldn't be able to walk too far."
"Heiji, do you think even the longevity lady will..."
It’s no wonder that Yuanshan Heye thought that way. People have been murdered one after another in the past two days, and the disappearance of Changshoupo is not a good sign.
Hattori Heiji remained noncommittal: "Anyway, let's keep looking. Please ask the locals here to help look as well."
"it is good."
"Oh, there's something strange." Xiaolan suddenly remembered something: "When Heye and I asked the locals about the longevity lady, they didn't seem surprised. They also said that since Miss Junhui died, the celebration could only be held this year."
"By this year?" Hattori Heiji looked surprised. "Why do you say that?"
Xiaolan shook her head: "I don't know."
"Could it be that Miss Junhui died and there is no one to preside over the celebration?" Yuanshan Heye guessed.
Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes at her and said unhappily, "Fool, the protagonist of the celebration is the Longevity Lady. As long as she is still here, the celebration can continue, unless..."
His eyes widened in disbelief.
"This... How is this possible... How could such an outrageous thing happen..."
"Heiji, have you thought of anything?" Toyama Kazuha asked curiously.
Hattori Heiji turned and ran outside, leaving behind a sentence: "I'm going to Miss Saori's house."
It seems this guy is not far from the truth.
Looking at Hattori Heiji's back, Watanabe Toru said in his heart.
……
noon.
The council hall on the island.
Hattori Heiji gathered the residents together, and based on the methods used to murder Sumi Ebihara and Naoko Kuroe, he ruled out the suspicions of Benzo Kadowaki and Rokuro Fukuyama... and revealed that the real murderer was 'Changjupo', also known as Kimie Shimabukuro.
"You've all known for a long time that Miss Junhui is the one playing the role of the Longevity Lady, right?" Hattori Heiji looked at the silent residents before him. "Otherwise, you wouldn't have said that the celebration could only be held this year..."
"Yes." One of the uncles nodded and whispered, "Except for the young people on the island, almost everyone knows about this. Of course, we also know that the charred corpse in the warehouse three years ago was Jun Hui's mother..."
"After the fire, we all discussed telling Jun Hui the truth and canceling the celebration. But when we saw Jun Hui, who was trying so hard to play the role of the longevity lady, appear in front of everyone, we said everything."
"Besides, our island is Mermaid Island. Since Jun Hui is willing to continue playing the role of the Longevity Lady, we will quietly cooperate with her..."
299. Meeting with the Women
Although it has been confirmed that Shimabukuro Kimie is the culprit of these three murders, new problems arise.
Shimabukuro Kimie is missing!
The police searched the entire island but still found no trace of Shimabukuro Kimie.
……
The sea was stormy again, and seagulls were flying around, chirping.
"Ugh……"
Looking at the island gradually moving away, Xiaolan, Yuanshan and Ye all sighed.
Hattori Heiji looked at them in confusion: "What's wrong with you two?"
"I didn't expect Miss Junhui to be the murderer." Xiaolan looked melancholy.
She had a very good impression of Shimabukuro Kimie and considered her a friend, but she never expected that the ending would be like this.
"Heiji, where do you think Miss Kimie is hiding?" asked Toyama Kazuha.
Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes. "How would I know that? Finding people is the police's job. However, no matter where Miss Kimie is hiding, she will be found and brought to justice."
Ran and Toyama Kazuha were silent. They knew Hattori Heiji was right, but Shimabukuro Kimie's past and experiences were also hard to accept. They couldn't blame her, and they felt more regretful.
In the evening, the passenger ship docked at the Tokyo Bay Pier.
"Then we'll go back to Osaka first." Hattori Heiji put his luggage on the car that had been booked in advance to pick them up, and said goodbye to Mouri Kogoro and his group.
"Uncle, Xiaolan, Xiaotuo, remember to come to Osaka when you have time." Toyama Kazuha waved.
"Okay, be careful on the road." Xiaolan smiled.
After seeing off Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha, Watanabe Toru and the other two took a taxi back home. Xiaolan started preparing dinner, while Watanabe Toru hid in the room and sent a message to Tachibana Maya.
"I'll come over tomorrow afternoon. Don't worry, Junhui will be fine."
〖good〗
Tachibana Maya's reply was as concise as ever.
Watanabe Toru called Pu Siqinglan again and asked her where she was. After learning that she was still in Wano Country, he asked her to come and meet him tomorrow afternoon.
The next afternoon.
After taking the antidote for Aptx-4869, Toru Watanabe came to Akemi Miyano's residence.
In the living room, five women were sitting lazily on the sofa, watching TV, eating fruit, and one was absent-mindedly doing her manicure.
Seeing Watanabe Toru come in, Miyano Akemi stood up and said, "You're here..."
Other people's attention also gathered over.
Watanabe Toru nodded slightly, walked over to sit next to Miyano Akemi, looked around at everyone, and said, "I've gathered everyone here today because I have a few things to announce. You all know Miss Junhui, right? From now on, she's a member of our team. As for her arrangements, I plan to have her follow Qinglan first."
"Huh?" Pu Siqinglan, who was called out, looked stunned.
Watanabe Toru explained, "Miss Junhui's wanted warrant has been issued. It's risky to stay in the country. It would be better to go abroad to avoid the spotlight. Also, although Miss Junhui's makeup skills are outstanding, she has no experience in intelligence work. I hope you can teach her."
Pu Siqinglan was not Watanabe Toru's first choice. He preferred Miyano Akemi to be Shimabukuro Kimie's mentor. However, Miyano Akemi was assigned to the Suzuki Group and had endless things to deal with every day, so she had no time to take care of Shimabukuro Kimie.
It’s not that Pu Siqinglan is not good, it’s just that Miyano Akemi is better at and more outstanding in intelligence gathering.
As for Masashi Asagi and Maya Tachibana, one can only cure diseases and save lives, while the other can only assassinate, and they were completely eliminated by Watanabe.
"Okay." After listening to Watanabe Toru's explanation, Pu Siqinglan nodded, and looked at the somewhat reserved Shimabukuro Junhui with his heroic and deep eyes: "But the training will be very hard, I hope you can stick to it."
Shimabukuro Junhui quickly stood up: "Yes, I will try my best and will not let Miss Qinglan down."
After talking about Shimabukuro Kimie, Watanabe Toru took out a recipe from his pocket and handed it to Miyano Akemi.
"I obtained this formula through a special channel. The Qi and Blood Pills on it have excellent effects on the human body. Once developed, your position in the Suzuki Group will be even more secure. However, I suggest that you don't give away the complete formula right away. A gradual approach may yield better results."
· ·Request flowers·· ·········
"I understand." Miyano Akemi took the formula from Watanabe Toru and said, "I will make good use of it."
She did not ask where the recipe came from, nor did she question its authenticity. She had complete trust in Watanabe Toru.
Watanabe Toru looked at Masamichi again and said, "It's about time the clinic expanded. I'll transfer some funds to you. You can discuss the specific implementation plan with Mingmei."
"Okay." Masashi nodded.
……
Because the antidote only lasts for an hour, Watanabe Toru did not stay long. After he said goodbye, Shimabukuro Kimie also stood up.
.... .. 0
Toru Watanabe knew what Shimabukuro Kimie wanted to ask. After the two of them walked out the door, Toru Watanabe briefly told Shimabukuro Kimie what happened that day.
"After you left, the high school detective quickly noticed something..."
After listening to this, Shimabukuro Kimie pursed her lips and remained silent. Then she asked in a low voice, "The residents of the island must really resent me."
"No." Watanabe Toru shook his head. "On the contrary, they all blame themselves. Why didn't they tell you the truth earlier? In this way, perhaps the tragedy could have been avoided."
"Really?" Shimabukuro Kimie was in a daze.
Watanabe Toru patted her shoulder and said, "Forget the past. Life must go on."
"Yes." Shimabukuro Kimie took a deep breath and looked up at Watanabe Toru: "I will work hard, and thank you for giving me a chance to be reborn."
"Come on. Have a good rest for two days. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions."
"it is good."
……
The restroom at Beihu Park.
Toru Watanabe changed into his own children's clothes and prepared to return to the office.
As I walked out of the park, my cell phone rang.
I took it out and saw that it was a call from Vermouth.
"What's the matter?" Watanabe Toru answered the phone.
"Where are you?" Vermouth's smiling voice came from the phone.
300. Vermouth's Plan
"What happened in Haido Park?" asked Toru Watanabe.
"I miss you." Vermouth's voice was so charming that it made one's ears feel numb and tingling, just like a lover whispering in one's ear, making one's bones soften.
Watanabe Toru was so upset that he said, "If you have nothing else to do, I'll hang up."
With a burst of giggles, Vermouth returned to her normal tone: "Wait for me there, my aunt will be here in five minutes."
After that, hang up the phone.
This woman...
Watanabe Toru twitched his lips, put away his phone, and stopped at the park entrance.
Five minutes later, a blue sports car drove up and slowly stopped in front of Watanabe Toru.
The woman driving the car was wearing a yellow jacket and sunglasses, so her face couldn't be seen clearly, but her fair, pointed jaw and delicate mouth corners made it easy to tell that she was a beautiful woman with a high appearance value of "877".
Toru Watanabe opened the passenger door and got in.
Vermouth took off her sunglasses, looked him up and down, and said meaningfully: "You don't look like someone who would go to the park."
Watanabe Toru said calmly: "I just happened to pass by. When did you come back?"
"Yesterday morning." Vermouth smiled charmingly. "I thought you were at home, so I wanted to pick you up directly, but your sister at home said you were out. Macallan, don't tell me you went to see your friends to reminisce about your childhood?"
Watanabe Toru adjusted his posture and said, "Children have their own social life. How can an auntie of your age understand?"
“Auntie?” Vermouth’s smile froze, and she gritted her teeth and said, “Do you believe I’ll beat you up?”
For beautiful women, "Auntie" is a taboo word.
Watanabe Toru tactfully changed the subject: "Just kidding, what do you want from me?"
Vermouth snorted, "Those FBI rats have appeared in Wano Country."
Watanabe Toru raised his eyebrows and pretended to be surprised: "Oh?"
"It's just that they are hiding very secretly. Currently, we only know that one of them is hiding at Teitan High School as an English teacher."
