The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

"Hey, Heiji, hey!" He shouted several times but failed to stop the figure in front of him. Toyama and Ye wiped the rain from their faces and complained, "Where did you see someone? Really... "

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the muddy ground was about to be washed away into a swamp. One foot was deep and the other was shallow. Fortunately, before going out, Shimabukuro Kimie kindly provided them with rubber shoes that made it easier to walk in the rain. Otherwise, I am afraid that the entire knee below will be covered with mud and water.

In the pouring rain, the umbrella no longer provided any protection. She had no choice but to put on the jacket she had brought with her just in case to act as a raincoat, and continued to trek behind Hattori Heiji with difficulty.

"I feel that the person looks like Naoko Kuroe." After wiping away the rain that blocked his vision, Hattori Heiji, who could not find the figure in the heavy rain that affected his vision, stopped and explained, "Her hairstyle It’s very unique, I haven’t seen anyone like it on the island.”

He turned his head and glanced at Toyama Kazuye, who was wrapped in a black coat and was also wet. He said in a serious tone: "I suspect that the prisoner is deliberately connecting the victim with the Dugong Arrow."

"...What do you mean?" Yuan Shan and Ye patted their chests subconsciously.

She had kept her dugong arrow by her side ever since she got it. After visiting the goddess at the shrine and being threatened by the old lady that she would be punished by heaven if she took the arrow away, she felt even more at ease. The enemy put the arrow directly inside his coat without any hesitation.

It's like seeing a curse or something that will happen if you don't repost it. You all know the truth. People can't be superstitious. When they encounter such unlucky things, they still want to repost them. It's better to do less than to do more.

It has to be said that this wave of designs of Dugong Arrow really captures human nature, and it cannot be said that it is not vicious.

"Just after extracting the arrow, but before getting it, Hisumi Ebihara died. Don't you think it's too coincidental?" Hattori Heiji straightened his mouth. After arriving on the island, he came into contact with several people related to Kadori Saori. People flashed before his eyes, "The same is true for the missing client. Not long after she lost the arrow, she disappeared after leaving the island... She was so scared that she sent me a letter of trust, I don't I think she would really dare to leave the island alone.”

If he was afraid of the curse brought by the arrow, shouldn't Saori Monori continue to stay on the island, participate in the Dugong Festival, and try every means to get a new arrow?

Although her disappearance can be understood as the result of an emotional breakdown, there are still too many unreasonable things when taken into consideration.

Thinking of the news he got earlier at the shrine, about the fact that the drawing of arrows was not really a random draw, but Shimabukuro Yaqin alone decided what to write, this once again deepened his suspicion.

Whether it is the disappearance of Karasawa or the death of Hisumi Ebihara, they are all related to this woodland with complex terrain, which seems to be particularly easy to get lost. Many residents on the island said that they do not dare to enter and exit here casually, and will only open up some open areas. Good road location activity.

Shimabukuro Kimie is an exception who is easy to get in and out, and can easily identify the direction in the forest...

"So, follow me closely." Seeing the pale faces of Toyama and Ye, Hattori Heiji stretched out his hand, "Don't leave my sight."

No matter why they added He Ye to the list, if the murderer really tried to use the excuse of losing the damaged arrow to cover up the truth of the death, then He Ye might also become the target of the murderer.

Unexpectedly, after analyzing the case for a while, Toyama Kazuye heard such a turning point. He stared blankly at the palm stretched out in front of him. Large drops of rain hit the other person's palm and snaked down along the palm lines. This hand, which she was very familiar with, felt unspeakably strange.

"Okay..." She lowered her head and grabbed his hand, not daring to look at his face a second time.

Even the wet and cold rain could not extinguish the heat rising on her face. Yuanshan and Ye were afraid that if they didn't lower their heads quickly, their excessively flushed face would be exposed.

Because of this, she suddenly discovered that there was a red mark on the root of the tree at her feet.

"Heiji, look at this." She pointed at the mark that was washed away by the rain but became increasingly red. "What does this symbol mean? It looks like..."

"...Mermaid's Tomb?" Hattori Heiji crouched down and squinted for a while to distinguish the crooked handwriting, and soon found a deeply imprinted arrow underneath.

Is this a beacon left by someone?

----

"Boom——"

Rolling thunder surged in the dark clouds, and Shimabukuro Kimie was awakened from his thoughts. He blinked and retracted his gaze that had always been cast toward the back mountain.

With the suggestions from the Phantom Thieves and her own inspection, there should be nothing wrong with the mechanism she had arranged, so she should be more confident.

Telling herself this, she took a deep breath, arranged her black suit, and walked out of the room.

She doesn't need to do anything more, her revenge is about to come to an end.

And the final end of her preparations will come soon.

After Shimabukuro Kimeya "dies", she will play the role of Shimabukuro Yakoto wholeheartedly, and faithfully carry out the Shimabukuro family's mission, which is also a sad mission.

When she really gets old, the miserable shackles of the Shimabukuro family will also come to an end.

The goddess who lived to be 200 years old must have done enough for this island, right?

But why did the confusion and depression in her heart not diminish at all?

Feeling lost, Shimabukuro Kimie looked at the waterfall under the eaves and was stunned for a while. Then he suddenly remembered something and took out a small bag from his pocket.

This is what Asai Narumi left behind after communicating with her on how to arrange the death of Naoko Kuroe.

"What is this, a life-saving method in an emergency?" Shimabukuro Kime, who took the small bag and found out that there was a note inside, was dumbfounded. She was a little confused about why the collaborator handed this over at this time. significance.

This was an attempt to conceal her true identity. It was not a written test. What could a small piece of paper influence?

"If you feel confused, confused, and undecided, just open it and take a look." Knocking the fox mask on his face, Asai Shigeyuki looked at her with crooked eyes, smiling, with an inexplicable feeling of nostalgia and nostalgia in his expression. Clearly, "Just think of it as a little reward."

"Remuneration. For you or for me?" Shimabukuro Kimie, who didn't quite understand what he meant, tilted her head.

She didn't understand what these Phantom Thieves guys wanted from her, and what benefits they could get from this deal - after all, no matter how you looked at it, it was just her getting assistance unilaterally, and they seemed to be unable to get anything.

But Asai Chengmi insisted that this was not a well-intentioned public welfare act, but just——

"Everyone gets what they need." Asai answered before turning around and swaying his flaming haori before disappearing, "So it is both what you need and what we need. Open it when it's time to open it, don't hesitate."

Lowering his head again and looking at the small cloth bag, Shimabukuro Kimie bit his lips and hesitantly untied the tight opening.
