With tears in Shimabukuro Kime's eyes, she was stunned: "Your...method?"

"Yes. Verify the truth of the facts, and make them pay the price without killing people... Do you want to try it?"

Kithara Sosuke asked with a smile.

"I..." Shimabukuro Kimie hesitated.

In fact, she is still confused now, and she doesn't know whether to believe this person's words... Huh? By the way, what is his name?

Kitahara Sosuke mistakenly thought that she was still thinking about killing people, so he flicked the girl's forehead and said: "It's okay even if you don't agree now! Because as long as I am here, your murder plan will definitely not succeed. I will

Always looking at you."

This sentence aroused the girl's rebellious psychology. She gritted her teeth, lowered her head and said, "I know. People like you will never watch others being killed, right? Even if that person...those people

...Everyone is a cruel and vicious executioner!"

"You are wrong." Kithara Sosuke understood the resentment in her heart and smiled: "I am not here to save them, but to save you."

Shimabukuro Kime suddenly raised his head, with bright eyes, staring straight at Kitahara Sosuke, as if trying to find the slightest trace of lying on his face.

The sound of drums and noise could be heard faintly in the distance.

"Save me?" she repeated in a very soft voice.

"Yes! Didn't I say it? It's not worth it... Miss Shimabukuro, you are a very good person. I hope you can get out of this island, stand in the sunshine, and don't give up on your life casually."

Kitahara Sosuke stretched out his hand.

"It's difficult to travel at night, so I'll take you down first. After the memorial ceremony is over, we will slowly discuss this matter. Believe me, there will definitely be a better way."

Seeing the smile of the young man in front of her that seemed to be free of haze, Shimabukuro Kimie hesitated for a while before slowly reaching out her hand and holding the dry and warm palm.

The clear moonlight shines on the trees with gnarled branches and leaves, casting mottled shadows. The witch in the red dress followed the young man in black, walking among the trees, and the footsteps were soft and sure.

The road ahead gradually became flat and wide, and the light of torches could already be seen in the distance. Kitahara Sosuke let go of Shimabukuro Kimie's hand and asked, "Can you go by yourself on the road ahead?"

The girl nodded.

"Then go ahead...hey, wait a minute."

He stretched out his hand, and Shimabukuro Kimie closed his eyes subconsciously, feeling the hair on his temples being lightly touched. When he opened his eyes, he found a withered yellow leaf in Kitahara Sosuke's hand.

He stepped aside to get out of the way and said, "After the memorial ceremony is over, I will go to the shrine to find you."

"good."

The girl bowed her head in response and walked past him. After walking a few steps, she suddenly turned back and asked with a bit of anxiety: "You...what's your name?"

"Kitahara Sosuke." The young man smiled and said.

The young miko bowed, then turned and walked towards the place where there was a lot of people. As she walked, she straightened her slightly messy skirt, wiped the tears on her face, and put on a little lipstick. When she walked to the place where the ceremony was,

Already like a female warrior wearing armor, she looked full of brilliance.

The people who had been waiting for a long time had some complaints at first, but when they saw Shimabukuro Kime appear, they all immediately became quiet.

Behind the girl was a waterfall hanging in the sky, and beside her was a blazing brazier. She glanced at the crowd gathered together, her eyes filled with majesty as if granted by God.

"The Dugong Arrow promulgation ceremony begins now! Now, please three lucky people who have been drawn to come forward!"

"Ah, yes!" Yuan Shan and Ye hurriedly walked out with their own signs, and turned back to wave to Mao Lilan and said happily: "I'm going to get it!"

"Yes!" Mao Lilan nodded vigorously and looked at her expectantly.

'but……'

Yuan Shan and Ye turned around and subconsciously searched around the crowd. They were a little disappointed when they didn't see a familiar figure.

'Really, where did that guy Heiji go? I want to make him envious!'

"Congratulations on getting the Dugong Arrow." Shimabukuro Kime solemnly presented the prepared arrow to her.

"Thank you!" Yuan Shan and Ye took it respectfully with both hands, showing a bright smile.

Two other people also walked out of the crowd, one was the short-haired beauty Naoko Kuroe, and the other was Hisumi Ebihara who hurried over just now.

Kuroe Naoko held the long-awaited dugong arrow, looked at Shimabukuro Kimie and whispered: "I got the arrow. Don't forget the agreement between us!"

Shimabukuro Kimie lowered her eyes, restrained the boiling murderous intent in her heart, and said softly: "Of course."

Naoko Kuroe stood aside holding the arrow with satisfaction.

Hisumi Ebihara took the arrow with a smile. When she saw Shimabukuro Kimie, she couldn't help complaining: "Kimi, where did you go just now? I've been waiting for you for a long time..."

"Sorry." Shimabukuro Kimie explained softly: "I walked halfway and realized I forgot to bring my arrows, so I went back to get them again..."

"Really, you can forget about such an important thing. Fortunately, I still got the Dugong Arrow!"

Being watched by many people, Ebihara Hisumi did not dare to speak for a long time. She also stood aside holding an arrow and showed a bright smile.

Yuan Shan and Ye turned their eyes to look at them curiously, feeling that the relationship between these three good friends seemed a little subtle.

The ceremony continues.

Shimabukuro Junhui said loudly: "Now, please three of you accept the blessing of the light of bliss..."

Accompanied by a sharp whistle, two bunches of fireworks took off into the sky, blooming into brilliant fireworks in the dark night.

——This is the light of bliss?

Mouri Kogoro, who was standing behind his daughter, yawned lazily. From the corner of his eye, he noticed that under the reflection of the fireworks, people's faces almost showed a bit of shock, surprise or jealousy, except for most of the old people in the village.

Their faces were ugly.

He paid attention, and two old men nearby said in vague and low voices: "...They are both young girls, and two of them are from the village..."

"The relationship between Naoko, Sumi and June has been good since childhood..."

"Last year, Shaozhi also got the Dugong Arrow..."

"What a nonsense! This way tourists will definitely suspect our secret operation, and the business on the island may also be affected..."

"Okay, okay, Jun Hui is still young after all, and... in short, we will remind you later. This is the only way this year..."

"That's right... everyone is for the prosperity of the island, and we cannot ruin this hard-won good situation because of someone's selfishness..."

Mouri Kogoro slowly frowned.

…………………………

Watching Shimabukuro Kimie's back disappear, Kitahara Sosuke turned his head and said angrily: "You two have nothing to do? You actually followed us all the way!"

"Hey, have you discovered it?" Hattori Heiji rubbed the back of his head and emerged from behind the tree with a smile.

Conan came out from the other side, holding a branch for cover in his hand. He threw it away with a dry cough and said, "Kitahara, what was the motive of Miss Shimabukuro's murder?"

——Have you just revealed what you were following just now?

Hattori Heiji glanced at Conan, lamenting that he was still not thick-skinned enough, and said hurriedly: "Yes, Ms. Shimabukuro doesn't look like a murderer. Is there any misunderstanding here?"

Kithara Sosuke raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you two hear?"

"No..." Hattori Heiji said with a bit of regret and a bit of shame: "The two of us accidentally got lost at first, so..."

Looking at the two of them, Kitahara Sosuke sighed in his heart about the power of "science" in this world.

Just like the "little gangsters" in this world will always get some kind of invisibility bonus. Before committing a crime successfully, even if they climb on the roof, get under the car, install countless bombs, or sneak out of their room to decorate under the eyes of others

Various complex mechanisms will not be discovered.

Just like Conan's presence will automatically decrease by one when reasoning. Even if he is standing next to Mouri Kogoro, hiding in his arms, leaning against the side of the pillar next to him, others will automatically ignore the reasoning with the bow-tie voice changer.

He turned to focus all his attention on Mouri Kogoro who didn't move his mouth.

Conan and Hattori Heiji are not as light as swallows. Originally, Kitahara Sosuke could easily detect and get rid of their following. But for some reason, he didn't notice it at all at first, until he held Shimabukuro Kimie's hand.

Only then did I hear a short intake of breath.

Fortunately, he didn't do anything bad this time. Kithara Sosuke briefly recounted the story that Shimabukuro Kime had told before. The two high school detectives were somewhat sentimental, and they had previously treated Shimabukuro Kime.

The first impression was very good. After hearing this, they were silent for a moment. After looking at each other, Hattori Heiji asked: "Kitahara, what are you going to do?"

"What, are the two righteous detectives also planning to assist us?" Kitahara Sosuke said with a joking smile.

"Although you prevented the murder this time, it was only temporary." Conan said with a serious expression: "Only by making the truth about the fire three years ago known to the public can the chains of tragedy be completely cut off."

Kithara Sosuke smiled.

Although these two people insist on justice, they sometimes adopt some less-just methods. For example, Conan, following, eavesdropping, and breaking into private houses have become almost commonplace. Even important meetings of the Metropolitan Police dare to insert bugs into them.

Go, the two of them went fishing and enforced the law not once or twice.

As long as they can prevent crimes and expose the truth, these two people actually don't care whether the methods they use are legal and compliant.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the laws in Mingke's world are not exactly the same as those in his previous world. If the investigators in his previous world took the same approach as Conan, it might be a reason for the criminal to be exempted. But in this world

In this world, as long as the criminal facts are conclusive, the chain of evidence is complete, and the murderer pleads guilty, the procedural means are not so strict. This is one of the reasons why many detectives can show their talents in the process of the case, because the law requires detectives to compare

The police are more tolerant.

Kitahara Sosuke squatted down, took a branch and wrote on the ground, and told the two of them his plan.

A group of dark clouds slowly moved over, blocking the moonlight, and the forest was dark. A few minutes later, the dark cloud slowly moved away again.

Hattori Heiji's dark face was full of uncertainty and he asked: "Is this... really okay?"

"I think so." Conan touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "The fact that they believe in such absurd legends is a departure from science, and they must be very susceptible to psychological suggestions and infection..."

"Then it's settled." Kithara Sosuke planted the branch on the ground and said, "Tomorrow morning, you go prepare things, and I will discuss the plan with Miss Shimabukuro."

Conan hesitated: "Beiyuan, you..."

"Um?"

"Forget it, it's nothing." The little detective shook his head, patted Kitahara Sosuke on the shoulder and said, "Come on! We will help you too!"
