Why is there firelight there? That is... the shrine?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The fire that started in the shrine warehouse burned for an entire night!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It wasn't until dawn that it was finally completely extinguished by the arriving rescue personnel!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hattori Heiji and Conan went to understand the situation at the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"We found a charred body at the scene!\" the rescue personnel said.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"A charred body?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hattori’s expression changed drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At the same time, the ominous premonition in his heart became even stronger!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The rescue personnel nodded upon seeing this. \"Yes! Although the deceased was charred all over, she was wearing glasses and blue clothes. I think that must be Saori, who has been missing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Speaking of this, the other person’s face gradually revealed a sad expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The rescue personnel themselves were residents of this small island, and they were naturally very clear about Kadowaki Saori’s disappearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, he still never expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That when he saw Kadowaki Saori again, the once-living person had become a charred corpse!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What? It’s Miss Saori?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Conan and Hattori Heiji’s expressions were solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If the person burned to death in the warehouse was Miss Saori, then who was the woman they saw last night?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just then, the sound of a cane supporting the ground and the Longevity Hag’s shouting came from the corridor of the room: \"Kimie? Kimie? Where are you? Kimie!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing the Longevity Hag’s voice, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but turn his head to look, his expression serious to the point of being scary: \"Miss Kimie didn't come back after leaving Ebihara Sumi’s house last night?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Conan also frowned, reaching out to pinch his chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hattori, Miss Kimie said she went to see a dentist before, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Yes, that’s right.\" Hattori Heiji’s expression changed slightly, he looked down at Conan, and his voice changed too: \"You brat, you aren't thinking about bad things again, are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hattori, can you stop playing dumb? I think you must have thought of it long ago, right?\" Conan suddenly looked up, his expression serious and complex:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"After Miss Kimie left Ebihara Sumi’s house last night, she probably went to the warehouse!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the afternoon, at the entrance of the Shimabukuro house.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Conan and Hattori Heiji walked out together, closed the door, and walked toward the shrine warehouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Through dental comparison, the person who died is very likely Miss Kimie.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They came here to notify the Longevity Hag.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The two walked on the road, both taking slow steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If the person who died in the warehouse is Miss Kimie, then the person we saw last night was Miss Saori, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Also, Miss Kimie was wearing glasses and blue clothes when she died. Could all this have been done by Miss Saori, with the purpose of making people think she died in the warehouse?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hattori Heiji said while rubbing his chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That is indeed possible.\" Conan nodded. \"However, it could also be that the murderer is setting up a false trail, and Miss Saori has actually also...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That’s right.\" Hattori Heiji nodded slightly. \"Let’s go to the warehouse first and see if the police have found any new clues!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In front of the warehouse ruins behind the shrine.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Conan, Hattori Heiji, and the others stood in front of the forensic officer investigating the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"So, you haven't found anything here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Yes! After a big fire, everything in the warehouse was burned to the ground; it’s too difficult to find clues!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The forensic officer sighed, then spoke again: \"By the way, we did find a few more fish scales on the road behind the warehouse leading to the sea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What? Fish scales again?\" Conan and Hattori Heiji frowned together.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Is that murderer still setting up the illusion of a mermaid even now? How boring.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just as a few people were talking, Kobayashi Masaki walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The shrine just received a strange phone call, saying they were very grateful that the shrine was willing to part with the Dugong Arrow, that the one hundred yen they paid was very valuable, and that their son’s surgery went very smoothly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Conan and Hattori Heiji’s expressions changed drastically upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What? Someone spent one million yen to buy a Dugong Arrow?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Did you ask the person who called when and from whom they bought the Dugong Arrow?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kobayashi Masaki replied: \"That person said they bought the Dugong Arrow the day before yesterday morning from a man working at the shrine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"They don't know the person’s name. As for the person’s characteristics, he had stubble, was tall, smelled of alcohol, and was about fifty years old.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Is it Kadowaki Benzo?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Conan immediately thought of the person who fit the characteristics and was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The Dugong Festival hadn't been held yet the day before yesterday morning. Does that mean the Dugong Arrow Mr. Kadowaki sold was the one Kadowaki Saori lost?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Also, Brother Hattori, do you remember?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Conan turned to look at Hattori Heiji, his expression solemn. \"Mr. Kadowaki seemed to have won another Dugong Arrow at the festival that day. Isn't his luck a bit too good?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hmm, yes!\" A smile appeared on Hattori Heiji’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Come to think of it, after the drawing ended that night, Miss Sumi looked very happy. I thought she had won too, but I didn't expect her to be murdered shortly after.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If the person who won the Dugong Arrow that night was Miss Sumi, then doesn't Mr. Kadowaki have a big suspicion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Conan narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"We’d better visit Mr. Kadowaki’s house and see if he’s home! If he is, we’ll ask everything clearly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With the help of Kobayashi Masaki, Conan and Hattori Heiji successfully entered the Kadowaki house.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Inside Kadowaki Saori’s bedroom, the two looked around the room covered in posters and carefully investigated the items in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hattori Heiji briefly checked the desk in the room, then discovered a bag placed by the bed, and couldn't help but go \"Huh?\" and ask strangely: \"What is this bag?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kobayashi Masaki glanced at the bag and answered casually: \"You’re talking about that bag? It’s Saori’s runaway gear, containing the things Saori must bring every time she runs away from home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Is the relationship between Miss Saori and her father very bad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Conan asked the question, opened the bag, and checked the contents. First, he saw a large stack of documents, like a driver’s license, passport, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Yes, it’s indeed not very good.\" Kobayashi Masaki nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Under her mother’s influence, Saori strongly believed in the existence of mermaids, while Mr. Kadowaki didn't believe in them and often scolded Saori for it. Over time, the conflict between Saori and her father grew, and running away from home became a common occurrence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kobayashi Masaki paused, then continued: \"Of course, this bag is actually redundant. Anyway, every time she runs away from home, she goes to Kimie’s house, and Kimie’s house also has the clothes she often wears.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What? Miss Kimie’s house has Miss Saori’s clothes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Conan narrowed his eyes. \"In that case, Miss Kimie could also have put on Miss Saori’s clothes to lure out the murderer and then been attacked by the murderer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Conan said his reasoning, then suddenly looked at Kobayashi Masaki and said: \"Mr. Kobayashi, are there any photos of Miss Saori in the room?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Of course there are.\" Kobayashi Masaki walked to the bookshelf next to him, flipped through an album, found a photo of Saori, and handed it to Conan and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This person wearing blue clothes is Saori.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Conan looked at Saori’s photo and went \"Hmm,\" then looked at the other photos.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He asked curiously: \"The photos above, aren't they the photos taken when you were filming 'The Tale of Bikuni'? Miss Sumi’s mermaid makeup is so realistic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Yes.\" Kobayashi Masaki nodded. \"Sumi’s makeup was done by Kimie. Kimie’s makeup skills are truly superb, unmatched by anyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Makeup superb, unmatched by anyone?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Could she be better than Kaito Kid and Lupin III?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Conan laughed to himself, complaining in his heart, and then a flash of inspiration struck him, and he was stunned...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wait!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If Shimabukuro Kimie’s makeup ability is very strong, couldn't she disguise herself as someone else?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Come to think of it, when he checked Kadowaki Saori’s backpack just now, he didn't seem to find a health insurance card. Could all this be...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Conan’s mouth twitched twice, and all the clues about the previous cases in his mind connected together. The more he thought about it, the more he felt his guess was very likely.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Glancing at Hattori Heiji, who was still looking at the photo album, Conan got up and walked out of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He took out his mobile phone, asked the police for the number of the dentist who treated Shimabukuro Kimie, and dialed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A few minutes later, the call was connected. Conan asked a few questions and then hung up, looking up at the sky with a melancholic expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sure enough, things were really as he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In this way, Miss Kimie and the Longevity Hag are the same person?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She actually did all of these events.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Conan felt depressed for a while, and then checked his reasoning in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Judging by the current situation, the murderer of this series of cases on the island is Miss Kimie! It is obviously impossible to make Miss Kimie confess based solely on speculation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hattori Heiji walked out of the room. He looked at Conan, who had a smug expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Conan, I just identified the murderer. How about you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Conan went \"Huh?\" and said in surprise: \"You also identified the murderer? I also just deduced the murderer. Why don't we say the murderer’s name together and compare answers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Compare answers? Good idea.\" Hattori Heiji smiled. \"Let’s count to three together and then say the murderer’s name!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1812,"2026-06-17T04:04:55.481Z","2026-06-17T09:00:09.809Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","5691f04be75dcedf832bd710b488664e128414d8acac41f7d767bf143d843599","conan-the-mage-who-will-break-the-world-chapter-290","conan-the-mage-who-will-break-the-world-chapter-288",403,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fconan-the-mage-who-will-break-the-world-cover.jpg"]
