Chapter 713: Who exactly was the woman last night?

~4 min read 669 words

At night, Conan came back with a big bump on his head and Hattori Heiji.

With his short arms and short legs, how could he beat an adult?

The two walked back to the inn and were just about to enter the door when they suddenly heard a slight sound from afar.

Conan and Hattori Heiji turned their heads inadvertently to look, and then immediately all froze.

I saw that under the streetlights, a woman wearing blue clothes, with brown hair and glasses, was hiding behind a tree, staring at them.

Brown hair, wearing glasses?

Could it be that that person is Kadowaki Saori?

The two looked at each other, and when they looked again, the person was already gone.

They were just about to chase when they suddenly heard a commotion.

Someone seemed to be shouting things like "Fire," "The fire is so big," "The fire brigade has just been dispatched," and so on.

Conan and Hattori Heiji turned their heads, and saw that the distant sky had been burned to an orange-red color, and their expressions changed instantly:

"Hell! Why is there firelight there? That is... the shrine?!"

The big fire that ignited in the shrine warehouse burned for a whole night!

It wasn't until dawn that it was finally completely extinguished by the rescue workers who rushed over!

Hattori Heiji and Conan went to understand the situation at the scene.

"We found a charred body at the scene!" the rescue worker said.

"A charred body?"

Hattori's expression changed drastically.

At the same time, the ominous premonition in his heart became even stronger!

The rescue worker nodded when he saw this, "Yes! Although the deceased was charred all over, she was wearing a pair of glasses and blue clothes. I think that should be Saori, who has been missing!"

Speaking of this, a sad look gradually appeared on the other party's face.

The rescue worker himself was a resident of this small island, so he naturally knew everything about Kadowaki Saori's disappearance.

However, he still never expected.

By the time he saw Kadowaki Saori again, the once living person had become a charred corpse!

"What? Is it Ms. Saori?"

Conan and Hattori Heiji's expressions were grave.

If the person burned to death in the warehouse was Ms. Saori, then who was the woman they saw last night?

Just at this time, the sound of a cane supporting the ground and the Longevity Hag's shouting suddenly came from the corridor of the room: "Kimie? Kimie? Where are you? Kimie!"

Hattori Heiji turned his head to look when he heard the Longevity Hag's voice, his expression serious to the point of being scary: "Ms. Kimie didn't come back after leaving Ebihara Sumi's house last night?"

Conan also frowned, reaching out to pinch his chin.

"Hattori, Ms. Kimie said she had been to the dentist before, right?"

"Yes, that's right." Hattori Heiji's expression changed slightly, he looked down at Conan, and his voice also changed, "You brat, you wouldn't be thinking about some bad things again, would you?"

"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:

"After Ms. Kimie left Ebihara Sumi's house last night, I'm afraid she went to the warehouse!"

In the afternoon, at the entrance of the Shimabukuro house.

Conan and Hattori Heiji walked out together, closed the door, and walked toward the shrine's warehouse.

Through dental comparison, it is very likely that it was Ms. Kimie who died.

They came here to notify the Longevity Hag.

The two walked on the road, their steps very slow.

"If the person who died in the warehouse was Ms. Kimie, then the person we saw last night was Ms. Saori, right?"

"Also, Ms. Kimie was wearing glasses and blue clothes when she died. Could all this have been done by Ms. Saori, with the purpose of making people think she died in the warehouse?"

Hattori Heiji said while touching his chin.
