Hattori Heiji's mouth curled up slightly, "It seems the motive is very clear!"

Fukuyama Rokuro asked, "Is it Kadowaki Benzo? But why did he kill Kimie?"

Hattori Heiji explained: "Because of the list, he heard that we were going to check the list, so he took a shortcut and stole the list first. He killed Miss Kimie, most likely because she saw him."

Conan frowned, Hattori Heiji's statement was indeed self-consistent.

But his suspicion towards Shimabukuro Kimie did not diminish at all. Thinking about it carefully, Chang Shou Po and Shimabukuro Kimie had never appeared at the same time!

Add to that the so-called corpse without leg bones three years ago, and if it is based on his reasoning, then it makes sense.

"Brother Heiji, come with me for a moment."

Conan called Hattori Heiji aside.

"What's wrong, Kudo?"

Conan said in a deep voice: "Hattori, I am going to tell you my reasoning now, you listen to me first!"

Seeing Conan's serious expression, Hattori Heiji was startled, then said: "You say."

Conan laid out his reasoning.

Hattori Heiji's pupils shrank, and a trace of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, "How is this possible!?"

Conan's reasoning is really unbelievable.

"Hattori!" Conan said slowly: "Eliminate all the impossibilities. No matter how incredible the remaining thing is, it is the truth!"

"But you don't have any evidence!" Hattori Heiji still couldn't believe it.

Conan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Isn't the biggest evidence right there?"

Hattori Heiji also realized it, "You mean, longevity woman?"

As long as it can be verified that the longevity lady is actually Shimabukuro Kimie in disguise, the truth will be revealed.

Conan added: "Also, you can check with the dental clinic where they have their dental checkup!"

Hattori Heiji gritted his teeth and said, "Without further delay, let's go to Kadowaki's house to find the bald uncle and ask him to help contact the clinic."

……

Kadowaki family.

"Why are you here? Did you find any clues?"

Kitagawa Taki looked at the hurried Hattori Heiji and Conan.

Hattori Heiji panted, "It's a long story. Where's the bald uncle? We have something urgent to talk to him about!"

Beichuan Taki looked back and said, "It's behind the house."

The two of them hurriedly ran to the back of the house, and Kitagawa Taki followed silently.

……

The beach behind the house.

Hattori Heiji found the bald uncle and said, "Uncle, please contact the clinic immediately and ask them about the characteristics of the person who went to the dentist!"

The bald uncle was stunned, "Why?"

Hattori Heiji said anxiously: "There's no time to explain!"

The bald uncle looked displeased with Hattori Heiji's attitude. Who do you think you are, kid? Can you just investigate it if I say so?

Kitagawa Taki raised his eyebrows. These two guys are really something. Even in such a situation, they still suspect Shimabukuro Kimie.

However, he had already thought of the dentist.

It’s okay for them to seek confirmation.

So, Kitagawa Taki said, "Inspector, please help me!"

"Since Mr. Beichuan has said so," the bald uncle's expression softened and he called a police officer over. "Go and help contact that clinic."

With the help of the police, they finally contacted the clinic.

Hattori Heiji picked up the phone and quickly asked, "Doctor, what did Shimabukuro June, who came to see you the other day, look like?"

The doctor said, "Let me think... a girl with long black hair, very beautiful."

Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at each other and asked again: "Doctor, are you sure it's long black hair?"

"Sure, I'm quite impressed!"

"Thank you..." Hattori Heiji hung up the phone.

Kitagawa Taki asked, "Do you suspect that the person who saw the dentist wasn't Shimabukuro Kimie?"

Kitagawa Taki has already filled this obvious loophole for Shimabukuro Kimie.

The dentist obeyed after just a few threats.

Of course, it wasn't through the phone, but Hojo Hitomi came to the house.

Hattori Heiji looked at Conan: "Kudo, your reasoning seems to be wrong."

Conan's face was solemn, and he shook his head. "No, I believe in my reasoning. What the dentist said may not be true!"

Hattori Heiji sighed and said, "Then let's wait until the police catch Benzo Kadowaki!"

He was more inclined to believe that Benzo Kadowaki was the murderer.

……

into the night.

The police finally caught the fugitive Benzo Kadowaki in the forest and found the lost number plate list on him.

"I'm not a murderer!"

Benzo Kadowaki kept repeating these words.

The bald uncle sneered: "You are not the murderer, then can you explain why Kuroe Naoko's dugong arrow is in your hand?"

"Don't argue that you drew it. You sold the one you drew for a high price, didn't you? And why is the roster in your possession?"

He had already heard about the arrow sales from Hattori Heiji.

Faced with the bald uncle's repeated questioning, Benzo Kadowaki was choked and unable to speak.

He couldn't explain why Naoko Kuroe's arrow was on him.

Conan pulled Hattori Heiji and whispered, "Hattori, if he killed someone, he could have burned the list together. There's no need to carry it with him."

Hattori Heiji frowned. This was indeed a suspicious point, so he said, "Mr. Kadowaki, just answer the question that uncle asked you just now truthfully!"

Benzo Kadowaki slumped on the ground, looked up at Heiji Hattori, and after a moment he said, "I did sell an arrow. It was a number plate I found. I didn't even know it belonged to Sumi Ebina."

"You found it?" The bald uncle laughed and asked, "Where did you find it?"

"It's right by the waterfall." Kadowaki Benzo said, "Really! Everything I said is true! As for Kuroe Naoko's arrow, I don't know why it was in my pocket."

Fortunately, he had been hiding in the mountains for the past two days and had no alcohol to drink, so his mind was still clear at the moment.

Hattori Heiji interrupted, "You admitted at the time that it was your own arrow."

"Yes, that's because I was greedy, that's why..." Benzo Kadowaki looked regretful.

Conan asked, "Where's the roster?"

Benzo Kadowaki explained, "I was afraid of being mistaken for the murderer, so I thought of stealing the list."

"That's nonsense! These are just your excuses!" The bald uncle said sternly, "You killed Ebina Sumi and then brutally murdered Kuroe Naoko just for money!

You thought you could hide it from the public, but you didn't expect that the person who bought the arrows would actually call the shrine to thank you!

After you stole the roster, you ran into Shimabukuro Kimie in the warehouse looking for it, so you murdered her and then set fire to the warehouse!"

"It's not me! It's not me!!" Benzo Kadowaki vehemently denied it.

"Hattori, I need your help!"

Conan stared at Hattori Heiji with a serious expression.
