The Split-Actress in Conan's World

The person who took the list was Monkyo Benzo.

According to Kudo's observation, his dugong arrow most likely belonged to Miss Sumi.

At the same time, he was the second person to arrive at the funeral hall after Miss Naoko. If he was lying...

Moreover, he sneaked into the shrine and stole the list before them and Miss Junhui.

Probably to cover up the fact that he was not the winner.

If he was cruel and afraid of being discovered by Miss Jun Hui, it is very likely that he would set fire and kill people when she went to the warehouse.

Hattori Heiji sat on the balcony, watching the busy forensic personnel not far away, and connected several cases bit by bit in his mind.

No matter how you look at it, the man is suspicious.

Just as he was thinking, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

It's that guy Kudo.

"You just happened to call me. I just had an idea and was going to tell you."

"According to the clues I have found, the list was stolen by Mr. Benzo."

He looked up at the life buoy that the forensic personnel had put away. "And the fingerprints that the police found on the life buoy were also his after confirmation."

"From the current perspective, Monkyo Benzo is the most suspicious person."

"Kudo, what do you think?"

However, there was no immediate response from the other end of the phone.

Conan said in a deep voice after a long while: "Hattori, I will now tell you my reasoning."

"We found the bag that Miss Saori left in Miss Kimie's room. It contained daily clothes, some important documents... and a few boxes of dental medicine."

"Among those documents, there is a medical insurance card that does not belong to her. It belongs to Miss Jun Hui."

"Do you remember what Miss Kimie said when we first met? She said that she took a boat to the main island a few days ago to see a dentist, together with Miss Saori."

"But I can't find any tooth-related medicine in the whole room. Instead, I found a lot of similar medicine in Ms. Saori's house."

He paused, causing Hattori Heiji's throat to feel a little dry.

"I think the person who went to the dentist was not Miss Kimie, but Miss Saori."

"Ms. Saori's medical insurance card and the Dugong Arrow were placed in her handbag, and were stolen by Mr. Menkyo Benzo. That's why she borrowed Miss Kimie's medical insurance card to seek medical treatment."

"That is to say, the tooth shape left by the hospital is not Miss Jun Hui's, but..."

He didn't say anything else, but Hattori Heiji already fully understood what he wanted to say.

"What a joke..." Hattori's pupils shrank and he murmured unconsciously, seeming to find it unbelievable.

"How can I believe such a thing?"

"Hattori," Conan's voice was heavy, and one could imagine that he was not in a good mood, "eliminate all the impossible answers, and the remaining one, no matter how unbelievable, is the truth."

"Ms. Jun Hui is not dead, she is still alive."

"She is the common culprit in these three cases."

The police officers nearby suddenly received a message from the intercom: "Attention everyone, the search team has found the whereabouts of Menkyo Benzo in the mountains and is currently pursuing him. Please ask the nearby idle police officers to provide reinforcements."

Hattori Heiji clenched his cell phone.

After a long silence, he calmly said to the other end of the phone: "Even if this is true, I have to look at all the possibilities before I can believe it."

"There must be some clue we missed."

"I will find Menkyo Benzo and ask him personally!"

He hung up the phone, pulled Yuanshan and Ye and ran towards the dark mountain.

"Heiji, who are you talking to on the phone?"

Yuanshan Heye asked him puzzledly.

Hattori just shook his head and didn't answer.

Impossible, how could Miss Jun Hui...

She obviously missed the college days with her friends so much, and longed for the time when they worked hard for their dreams together more than anyone else.

She obviously loves this island so much that she even gave up everything to come back here to become a witch!

How could such a Miss Jun Hui have the motive to do such things?

Kudo's reasoning is wrong, right?

There must be some clues that haven't surfaced yet!

"It's so dark, Heiji!" Toyama Kazuha was tripped by the tangled tree roots again and staggered two steps.

Only then did Hattori Heiji come to his senses.

While they were distracted, they had lost track of where they were on the mountain.

There is no stream in sight nearby...

He was just about to call a police officer he knew to ask for directions, but his thoughts were interrupted by a word from Yuanshan Heye.

He Ye squatted down and rubbed her feet, biting her lower lip lightly, and suddenly a strange fragrance came into her nose.

The tip of her nose twitched for a moment.

"Does it seem to have a strange smell?"

"It seems to be the scent of burning incense." She gently pinched the corner of Hattori's clothes in front of her.

"Idiot, how could there be..." Hattori Heiji was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly froze.

The voice of the deceased Miss Naoko rang in his ears: "The mermaid's grave is somewhere in this forest."

Miss Jun Hui's distressed look appeared in front of him: "In order to prevent tomb robberies from happening again, my grandmother asked someone to quietly move the cemetery to the depths of this woods last year."

"It's no use asking."

"Because even that person has left me..."

Finally, there was the old priest’s gloomy look.

The wind that had not blown for a long time suddenly started to blow.

Hattori Heiji shuddered involuntarily.

He followed the scent and walked through an extremely dense forest.

He seemed to catch a glimpse of something square in his peripheral vision, but his attention was completely caught by the low stone tablet not far away, so he didn't pay attention to it.

He walked closer and saw a few words carved on the stone tablet, neither too deep nor too shallow.

The tomb of the loving mother.

There isn't even a name.

There was only a vague emblem engraved humbly in the corner.

Hattori Heiji recognized it; it was the same emblem as the one on the shrine's gate.

It is also the family crest of the Shimabukuro family.

He suddenly understood everything.

He leaned down, stretched out his hand and gently touched the cold stone tablet. There were many thoughts in his mind, but they seemed to be suppressed by the stone tablet and he could not reveal a single thought.

The incense stick had just burned out, and the rising wisp of smoke broke off and dissipated in the misty air.

Toyama Kazuha followed and immediately saw the sign that Hattori Heiji had ignored.

It says "Cliff ahead".

Below it was the word "Danger" written in big red letters.

"Heiji!" Her heart stopped for a moment and she shouted loudly to Hattori Heiji.

It was at this time that the muddy land after the rain finally showed its power.

Hattori Heiji slipped, his body hung in the air, and he fell forward.

His pupils slowly dilated.

It was not until then that he finally passed the stone tablet and saw the dangerous cliff behind it.

The cliff became complete little by little, revealing the steep mountain wall and the broken rocks eroded by wind below.

The waves hit the rock wall regularly, making crisp sounds.

Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha's brains went blank.

Hattori instinctively grabbed the stone tablet, but failed to hold on. He completely lost his balance and fell towards the cliff.

"Drink!"

A sudden huge force pulled him back, but it didn't end there. After a violent spin, he was thrown in the opposite direction.

Yuanshan Heye was stunned for a moment, looking at his body moving subconsciously, his eyelids drooped slightly and he revealed a reassured smile.

She suddenly felt that practicing Aikido for so long was not so useless.

Hattori Heiji was thrown back to the safe ground, and she was replaced by him who fell off the cliff after losing her strength.

“He Ye!!”

The detective's superb reaction ability finally came in handy at this moment. In just a moment, Hattori Heiji woke up from his daze.

The physical fitness brought to him by long-term immersion in kendo came in handy. He twisted his waist and legs violently, lowered his center of gravity, and fell back to the ground almost immediately.

He interrupted the trend of falling backwards, and at the cost of spraining his thigh, he lunged forward and grabbed Yuanshan Heye's hand.

The two fell off the cliff together.

Fool.

What an idiot.

A teardrop flew up to the sky as it fell. Yuanshan Heye felt her hand being clamped tightly. It was quite painful, but her heart was burning with heat.

It seemed that God had eyes and did not let them end their short lives like this. The fall lasted only half a second before it was stopped by a strong force.

Toyama Kazuha shifted her gaze away from Hattori Heiji's face and saw that his other hand was tightly grasping a thin branch growing across the mountain wall.

She could almost hear the sound of his muscles being torn apart.

"Heiji!"

Click.

The thin branch was obviously unable to bear such a heavy burden and it made a crisp sound that frightened the two men.

Fortunately, although it looked thrilling, I managed to hold on.

Hattori Heiji breathed a sigh of relief and felt a burning pain in his arms and ribs. His dark face twitched slightly and large drops of sweat flowed down and fell on the sea surface dozens of meters below, merging with the sea water.

"Just wait, He Ye..."

He clenched his teeth and squeezed out words with difficulty.

"I'll pull you up right away...I'll pull you up right away..."

A warm touch flowed down Heiji's arm and into the palms of their tightly clasped hands, making the palms, which were already sweaty due to nervousness, even stickier.

It was purple blood.

He Ye's eyes blurred.

She looked at the bloody and torn wounds on Heiji's arms, and bit her lip unconsciously, and the rusty smell filled her mouth.

No way.

No...

The thin branch was still making a precarious rustling sound and there was no way it could support the weight of two people.

And Heiji...

The man in front of him was obviously showing off his strength. It could be seen from the slight trembling of his palms and the uncontrollable twitching of his wrists.

The distant mountains and the leaves in front of them were filled with waves and nothing could be seen clearly.

She took out the dugong arrow that she carried with her and gave Hattori Heiji a beautiful smile.

"You must live well, Heiji."

An extremely ominous premonition swept through Hattori Heiji's heart like a tsunami. He looked at Kazuha uneasily, his pale lips trembling slightly: "Hey...you guy!"

The not-so-sharp arrow pierced the skin on the back of the boy's hand, causing him to spasm again.

Blood gushed out, flowing along the two people's connected hands and staining He Ye's clean sleeves red.

Hattori Heiji's arms trembled even more violently.

But even so, the hand still held the girl's hand tightly like an iron clamp, without any relaxation.

"Heiji..."

thump--

With a slight sound, the dugong arrow carrying good wishes fell into the water.

"Don't move, Heye..."

Hattori Heiji's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at her motionlessly.

"If you move again, I will want to kill you..."

The girl stopped talking, but continued to cry and held the boy's hand tightly again.

The slippery blood and sweat did not separate them, but instead made them hold each other even tighter.

Time passed by like a year, and the boy's physical strength was also lost bit by bit.

The thin branch seemed unable to bear the weight, but it held on firmly.

Hattori could no longer tell whether his consciousness was there or not, he just felt his body was very cold, even colder than when he fell into the deep sea.

His arms had stopped shaking and had become strangely stiff, as if there was no blood flowing in them and they were numb.

Yuanshan and Ye just kept praying in their hearts, hoping that the twig would last a little longer and hoping that others would find them sooner.

However, this hope has never been responded to.

Not all destinies can be avoided, and similarly, not all prayers are answered.

It seems that there are no miracles in this world, or rather, the fact that the tenacious branch has persisted until now is already a miracle.

Finally, at a certain limit, it broke under the heavy load.

With a moment of terrible feeling of weightlessness, the two fell off the cliff again.

This time there was no place for them to struggle, and even if there was, Hattori Heiji couldn't hold them back.

Is this the end?...

He thought tiredly, and his stiff body suddenly regained some strength. He did not think about anything else, but silently tightened his arms and hugged the unconscious Yuanshan Heye in his arms.

He closed his eyes, the sound of wind whistling in his ears.

In a few seconds, he would probably fall into the water, be knocked unconscious by the waves and drown, or be pierced by the rocks.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but the wind suddenly stopped.

"Oh~~~"

"I've seen this kind of love that lasts for life and death!"

It was completely quiet, with only the sound of waves hitting the rocks and the girl's energetic exclamations.

He opened his eyes tiredly, and before him was a blue as pure as the sea.

The little fish's feet floated in the air, looking at the two people with shining eyes.

"Really..."

I don't know if it was a complaint or something, but Hattori Heiji relaxed and said, "Show up earlier..."

"Sorry, sorry. I just came out from the bottom of the sea with Lilith. You must have suffered a lot, right?"

Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue and nodded her head towards the purple-haired girl who was sitting in the void not far away and looking at the moon.

"Let's heal our wounds first."

She waved her hand casually, and a dazzling huge magic circle rose up out of thin air, wrapping up the two dying people.

Hattori Heiji only felt warmth around him, and then he felt very sleepy.

Before he lost consciousness, he sighed in his heart.

It's great that there is magic in the world...
