Chapter 2168 Urban Legend (What if I Don't Want to Update It Even if I Stay at Home)

After having a direction, Conan and Hattori Heiji immediately started to act, and as expected, they soon gained results. They found the old man who lived in this place, and then pretended to be "we already know the truth". As expected, the other party It didn't take long to tell the truth.

However, this truth still surprised Conan and the other two—it turned out that on the entire island, except for those young people, everyone of a certain age knew that the long-lived woman was pretended by Shimabukuro Junhui's family, and they were all very happy. Clearly, it was not a mermaid who died in the warehouse due to a fire accident three years ago, but Junhui Shimabukuro's mother.

In fact, at that time, the residents of the island already wanted to find Junhui Shimabukuro and told her not to continue. But……………

"Looking at Jun Hui who appeared in front of us again in the role of Changshou Po, we couldn't say anything..."

Hearing the villagers' answers, Hattori Heiji and Conan were also dumbstruck for a while, not knowing what to say at all. After learning the truth of the matter, they only felt that this was simply an absurd drama. Junhui Shimabukuro worked hard to play the longevity woman to maintain the lives of everyone on the island, and the residents on this island couldn't bear to destroy it. Shimabukuro's hard work and acquiescing to this point because of his worries about his own livelihood, it is almost like performing a pantomime that both parties know well, but they both think that the other party does not know.

At this point, things are almost cleared up!

After confirming the news from the villagers, Hattori Heiji returned to the hotel excitedly with Conan.

"Hey, listen to me!"

However, when the two ran up the stairs, suddenly, Xiaolan's low voice came from the door of the guest room not far away.

"Ah...um...it's no longer possible..."

“………………?”

Hearing this voice, Hattori Heiji and Conan were taken aback, but before they recovered, they heard Kazuha's voice also sounded from it.

"Me too... I can't do it... Please, Mr. Fangzheng, please let me go, I'm so big... so thick... I can't get in... woo..."

However, the next moment, He Ye's pleading turned into a whimper.

"What are you doing!"

At this time, Hattori Heiji couldn't bear it anymore, he rushed over and opened the door, and then he saw Xiaolan collapsed on the ground, panting motionless. But He Ye sat at the table, his eyes wide open and his cheeks flushed. Opposite her, Fang Zhengze was holding a thick black roll and stuffing it into He Ye's mouth...

"...What the hell are you doing?"

Seeing this, Hattori Heiji and Conan were stunned.

"No reason."

Seeing the two come back, Fang Zheng also clapped his hands.

"We play cards, and we agree that whoever loses will have a snack."

"I will never play cards with Mr. Fangzheng again..."

At this moment, Xiaolan was lying on the floor, clutching her stomach, with a painful expression on her face.

"It's simply cheating..."

"Me too, I can tell what card is in my hand just by looking at someone's expression, how can I play this..."

He Ye also put the cards in his hands on the table dejectedly. At first, Fang Zheng proposed to take off his clothes and they definitely refused. Then the other party changed the subject and said that the loser would have to eat a piece of pastry. Naturally, Xiaolan and Heye would not object to this, but felt that they had made a profit, but they didn't expect Fangzheng to kill them directly. They had no power to fight back, and pieces of cakes were stuffed into their mouths like feeding pigs. , the two of them had a good meal at first, but now...

"I, I can't eat anymore."

"Me too……………"

"Hey."

Looking at the two men who raised their hands in surrender, Fangzheng shook his head and threw the cards in his hand on the table.

"It's not enough to eat just this, it means you have a small appetite."

"It's not a matter of appetite, Mr. Fangzheng!"

Hearing this, Xiaolan was completely speechless.

"hehe."

Seeing the miserable situation of the two girls, Fang Zheng chuckled. Although Xiaolan is indeed very popular, it doesn't mean that he will be sympathetic to her. After all, no matter how sympathetic she is, she will not be her own woman. Why not play tricks on her? Interesting.

"Really, you guys had a lot of fun."

After listening to the complaints of the two girls, Hattori Heiji and Conan had nothing to say, but soon, Hattori Heiji changed the subject.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it, we got very useful information!"

While talking, Hattori Heiji explained the information he and Conan investigated to the two, and after listening to the explanation, the two girls were also taken aback.

"Ms. Shimabukuro Junhui pretends to be the long-lived lady?"

"And the people on the island already knew about it?"

"That's right!"

Hattori Heiji snapped his fingers triumphantly.

"According to the information we have searched, the elderly people on this island actually know about it, only the young people don't. This also explains why Kadowaki Saori's father casually took the dugong arrow Selling it to someone else, and she didn't seem to care. And why Kadowaki Saori was so panicked after losing the arrow, after all, if she knew that Longevity was pretending to be Shimabukuro Junhui, she would definitely not be panicked. Such."

"But what does this have to do with the deaths of Ms. Kadowaki Saori and the others?"

Xiaolan raised her own doubts.

"It's impossible for the three of them to discover the secret of Miss Shimabukuro pretending to be a long-lived wife, and then be silenced because of it."

"this……………"

Faced with Xiaolan's question, Hattori Heiji and Conan were dumbfounded. They were only immersed in the excitement of uncovering a big secret just now. As for whether this secret has anything to do with the incident, it seems... not yet Definitely!

"Anyway, let's talk to Miss Junhui Shimabukuro first."

Fangzheng also put down his teacup at this time and stood up.

"Tell her that everyone on this island knows that she pretended to be the longevity woman. As for whether she killed the person, it will not be too late to ask the situation. At least it is much better than the current ridiculous and sad situation. .”

"Yes, I thought so too."

Hearing this, Xiaolan also hurriedly stood up. She was very kind. After listening to Conan and the others, she felt extremely sympathetic to Shimabukuro Junhui's current situation. And the others didn't say much, even Conan and Hattori Heiji. After all, they only suspect that Shimabukuro Junhui may have killed Kadowaki Saori and others, but there is no motive, no means of committing the crime, and no evidence , they cannot draw conclusions.

They are not the confused detective Moori Kogoro.

Soon, everyone came to the shrine again and met Junhui Shimabukuro.

"Excuse me, everyone, what's the matter?"

"Yes, Miss Shimabukuro Junhui, we have some things that we want to confirm with you and Longevity."

Looking at Junhui Shimabukuro in front of him, Fang Zheng smiled slightly, and then spoke.

Hearing Fangzheng's request, Shimabukuro Junhui nodded.

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll call my mother-in-law right now."

Then Shimabukuro Junhui brought everyone to the living room, then turned and left. After a while, everyone sitting in the living room heard the sound of crutches being tapped, and a thin old lady appeared in front of everyone.

"Cough cough, may I ask... What do you guys want from me, an old woman?"

The old lady who appeared in front of her looked quite old, with dull skin, dull eyes, and white hair. The thin body doesn't look much bigger than Conan. The Shimabukuro Junhui just now is a slender beauty with a sweet temperament. To be honest, even after knowing the truth, everyone still finds it incredible. It is impossible to imagine how Shimabukuro Junhui turned herself into such a thin and thin girl. Little old lady's.

Where is makeup here? This is a direct transformation!

Seeing this scene, Fangzheng also sighed.

"It's really embarrassing for you, Ms. Shimabukuro, it must be very hard to come out to greet us dressed like this."

"........."

Hearing this, Longevity Po looked at Fangzheng.

"……………what do you mean?"

"I just said that."

Fangzheng would never present evidence one by one like Conan and Hattori Heiji to make the other party admit it, he directly pointed it out.

"We have something to confirm with Miss Shimabukuro and Longevity in person, and now that Longevity is here, what about Miss Shimabukuro? I hope you two can appear in front of me at the same time, If it can't be done..."

"It means I'm pretending."

At this moment, the long-lived woman who was originally hunched suddenly straightened up, and her voice changed from the hoarse just now to the original crisp and sweet. And hearing this voice, Xiao Lan and He Ye were stunned.

"Miss Junhui?!"

"That's right, it's me."

While talking, Shimabukuro Junhui stretched out his hand and tore off the mask on his face... Well, Fangzheng seems to have seen Kaitou Kidd use this trick before, and it seems that people who can change their faces are really really good a lot.

At the same time, Junhui Shimabukuro lifted her clothes, and then everyone saw that her legs were completely joined together, that is to say, Miss Junhui Shimabukuro was actually supporting the ground with her knees, and her calves were put together. Behind her, combined with the crutches used for balance, she shrank her body and acted as an old lady who was much shorter than her actual height.

Shimabukuro Junhui untied the leather buckle that bound her legs, and then tore off the fake leather gloves and white wig she was wearing. Soon, a young woman in the clothes of Changshoupo appeared in front of everyone.

"Not bad, not bad, really amazing."

Fang Zheng also clapped his hands.

"Frankly speaking, I think you are much better at disguise than Kaitou Kidd."

"Uh……………"

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji and Conan were also speechless.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Faced with Fang Zheng's compliment, Junhui Shimabukuro smiled sweetly.

"I used to be a special effects make-up artist for a film club when I was in college, and the films we made won gold awards. I am still very confident in my makeup skills. However, you still see through... I can ask , What exactly made you doubt me?"

"It's very simple."

Facing Shimabukuro Junhui, Fangzheng was also quite frank.

"The villagers told me."

"……………Hey?"

Hearing this, Junhui Shimabukuro's expression changed slightly.

"On the night when Saori Kadowaki and the other three had an accident, I once heard a villager say, 'Fortunately, Junhui wasn't the one who had the accident, otherwise there would be no festival next year'..."

Speaking of this, Fangzheng looked at Junhui Shimabukuro.

"Ms. Shimabukuro, you should know what this means."

"this……………"

At this moment, Junhui Shimabukuro looked stiff and stunned. At the same time, Hattori Heiji continued to speak.

"And we also checked with the villagers, and found that apart from the younger generation, the other elderly residents on the island have long known that you were pretending to be the longevity woman, and they also knew that it was your mother who died in a fire three years ago. , At that time, they thought about confessing to you completely, but when they saw you desperately acting like a long-lived woman...they..."

“……………………”

Shimabukuro Junhui didn't speak, she just stared blankly at the crowd, tears streaming down her eyes, and muttered to herself at the same time.

"...It turns out that they already knew... So, what is the purpose of my efforts in the past three years? What am I doing? I..."

Speaking of this, Shimabukuro Junhui seemed to realize her gaffe, reached out to wipe away her tears, then raised her head again, showing a bleak smile.

"It seems that there really is no secret that can last for a long time. It's ridiculous that I thought I could keep going like this forever."

"Miss Junhui..."

Seeing Shimabukuro Junhui's sad and painful look, Xiaolan wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to say it. Junhui Shimabukuro shook her head. She closed her eyes and calmed down for a moment. Then she took a deep breath and looked at everyone.

"You came here to weave them."

Hearing this, Conan and Hattori Heiji cheered up immediately.

"Indeed, I hate them very much, I wish I could kill them..."

And in the next step, Junhui Shimabukuro also completely confessed the enmity between her and Saori Kadowaki and others to everyone. It turned out that the fire that happened three years ago was not an accident at all, but Saori Kadowaki and the three of them. To confirm whether the longevity woman is really immortal, but deliberately set fire!

"Even at that time, my mother called me and asked me to continue pretending to be a long-lived woman and continue to work hard for this island. I always regarded this as my mother's last words and carried it out earnestly. Until a week ago, Saori suddenly They found me and asked me to give her another dugong arrow. And it was at that time that I learned the truth about the disaster that year from them."

While speaking, Shimabukuro Junhui clenched his fist tightly.

"It wasn't an accident at all, they killed my mother! They locked her in a warehouse and burned her alive! Whenever I think about what happened then, I feel so angry!"

"So you killed them?"

Hattori Heiji stared at Shimabukuro Junhui, and asked, while Shimabukuro Junhui gave a wry smile and shook his head.

"To be honest, I really wanted to kill them. I even planned a plan to let them die after the mermaid festival. But... I didn't have time to do it, no, I should say I did it... ..."

".........?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other suspiciously.

If you do it, you do it, if you don't do it, you don't do it, what the hell is this?

"Have you heard of hell communication?"

At this time, Junhui Shimabukuro asked again, and of course everyone shook their heads, but this time Kazuha seemed to think of something.

"Ah, I've heard of it, it's a website!"

"What website?"

Facing Kazuha's talk, Hattori Heiji was at a loss, and Kazuha hurriedly introduced him.

"It's an urban ghost story. It is said that you enter a URL at 0:00 in the morning, and then you will enter a website called Hell Communication. As long as you leave a message in it saying that the person you want to kill, then that person will disappear into hell..."

Speaking of this, Kazuha couldn't help thinking of something, and looked at Junhui Shimabukuro with a pale face.

"No way?"

"yes."

Shimabukuro Kimie nodded.

"The day I got the truth from Saori, I was very angry, so I thought of this urban legend, I opened that website, and then left a comment on my experience—of course, this was just me at that time I was confused for a while, and when I woke up the next day, I also felt that I shouldn't rely on such weird urban legends, so I planned to find a chance to call Saori out and kill him, but..."

Speaking of this, Junhui Shimabukuro seemed to recall something, and couldn't help trembling.

"After that, I didn't get in touch with Saori, and shortly after that day, I got a call from a very gloomy girl's voice, and she said to me 'they will go to hell with your resentment' ...Then, I found out at that time that Saori, Sumi, and Naoko were all missing."

“……………………”

No one spoke, the living room was dead silent at the moment, Xiaolan was holding on to Conan tightly, and Kazuha also hugged Hattori Heiji's arm in fright.

Even Hattori Heiji swallowed involuntarily.

"Is there any evidence for what you said...?"

"No."

Shimabukuro shook her head.

"I went to the telephone company to check the records, but there is no record of calling me at that time, and I can't open that website..."

Speaking of this, Shimabukuro Junhui couldn't help but smile.

"And I still remember that girl said to me, 'Lies, after all, are lies, just as the truth they hide will be exposed one day'... Now it seems that this sentence is obviously meant for me what."

"Wait, sister Junhui, you said it was a girl who called you?"

At this moment, Conan also hurriedly asked, and Junhui Shimabukuro nodded.

"Yes, judging from the voice, she should be younger than Xiaolan and the others, around junior high school? But her voice is very deep and unique. It sounds... To be honest, it doesn't seem like the voice of a living person. .”
