Chapter 509 Belmode’s talk
"Why did Shimabukuro Kime lie?"
"Why didn't she want us to see the grave of the deceased three years ago?"
Lin Xinyi explained these doubts one by one:
"Hattori, what do you think?"
"I think there must be something fishy about this."
Hattori Heiji couldn't help but frown slightly:
"Because the miko lady's reaction was very strange:"
She had previously shown great interest in the old case from three years ago, and expressed regret that the case could not be solved. Later, her attitude changed drastically, and she remained secretive and refused to take Lin Xinyi to open the coffin for an autopsy.
The excuse of using ghosts and gods and the orders of ancestors as excuses is even more contradictory to the intelligence and reason she showed at the beginning.
"This kind of conflicting performance actually reflects her nervousness at the time."
"She was nervous about our investigation."
"It seems that Miss Shimabukuro has something to do with the case three years ago."
"I'm afraid the mysterious deceased is not an ordinary tourist, but someone in her social relationship."
"Otherwise, why would she prevent us from doing DNA testing on the body and preventing us from finding out its identity?"
"This" Toyama Kazuki asked with some concern: "Is Miss Shimabukuro the murderer of the case three years ago? No way? She looks so gentle."
"She does look like a murderer, but" Hattori Heiji shook his head in confusion: "But I always feel that she doesn't look like her."
The great detective could not help but speak contradictory words.
The reason why Shimabukuro Kimie looks like the murderer three years ago is because her resistance to the investigation is very suspicious.
She said she didn't look like it, and it was because the regret and emotion she showed when she first talked about the old case didn't really look like the emotions a murderer should have.
In particular, Shimabukuro Kimie specifically pointed out in front of Lin Shinichi that "the case three years ago still has no results" and mentioned the bad behavior of "the Fukui Prefectural Police closed the case in a perfunctory manner".
How could a murderer say this in front of a famous police detective?
Isn't this a disguised form of encouragement for Lin Xinyi to investigate this old case?
"Both encouraging and hindering, this self-contradictory manifestation"
"Is it possible that she was actually hoping that the case three years ago would come to light, but for some reason, she couldn't let us investigate the tomb?"
"That's why she showed regret when she initially believed that we were unable to investigate old cases."
"When I later heard that Mr. Lin had a way to investigate old cases, I became nervous again."
Hattori Heiji analyzed Shimabukuro June's tangled psychology.
As I thought about it, I became entangled in the thought:
"But what is the reason that makes her behave in such a contradictory and strange way?"
"What role did she play in the old fire case three years ago?"
No one can answer this question.
However, Belmode raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said in a playful tone:
"I don't know what role that miko lady played."
"But what I do know is."
"Her acting skills are still a bit off."
"Huh?" Everyone was slightly startled: "Why do you say that?"
Lin Xinyi also looked over curiously: "Chris, did you find something fishy?"
“It’s not so much a discovery as it is a discovery.”
Belmode paused slightly at the right moment, and then replied slowly in her lazy and mysterious tone:
"Women's intuition."
"Well" Lin Xinyi looked back helplessly:
Now let’s get down to business. Is intuition reliable?
"certainly."
"Don't underestimate women's sensitivity to emotions." Belmod analyzed calmly: "My intuition tells me that the emotional changes of the miko lady just now are actually a bit abnormal compared to her character design at the moment. ."
"Character design?" Lin Xinyi and others became interested and couldn't help but listen quietly.
"That's right, it's the character design."
"People are complex, and a character's personality is also complex."
"When an excellent actor is performing, he should always remember to perform the most prominent character that corresponds to the plot as the background changes."
Belmode simply told Lin Xinyi and others about the drama:
"Let's talk about Shimabukuro Kime."
"First of all, she is a shrine maiden."
"Secondly, she is a huge fan of Forest Management Officers."
"At the same time, she was a 'passerby' who knew about the case three years ago."
"In the end, she was a young girl who had just heard that her best friend had been brutally murdered."
"In your opinion, among these four characters, which one should be highlighted most in the performance just now?"
Director Belmode asked the three rookies in the entertainment industry in such a persuasive manner.
"I see."
It was Toyama Kazuye, this delicate girl who reacted first:
"Miss Shimabukuro's mood changes just now were abnormal!"
"Kadowaki Saori is Miss Shimabukuro's childhood sweetheart. The relationship between them should be extremely deep."
"And when she first heard that Miss Saori was murdered, she was indeed very shocked and painful."
"Later, when I talked to Mr. Lin about the case three years ago, this painful emotion gradually eased."
"When she finally heard that Mr. Lin wanted to open the coffin for an autopsy, Ms. Shimabukuro was only focused on coping nervously and completely forgot about the pain caused by the loss of her best friend."
"It's like" Toyama Kazuha pursed her lips nervously: "It's like Miss Shimabukuro actually doesn't care about Miss Saori at all."
"That's right." Belmod nodded appreciatively: "This is a problem for many novice actors."
"They may be able to play a character well, but they can't play a complex person well."
"These rookies often forget about the previous scene at the end of the performance, and they can't figure out what kind of emotions they should show in what situations as complex people."
"That's what this miko lady is like."
"If my 'gut feeling' is correct."
"Her initial shock and sadness when she heard that Kadowaki Saori was murdered were all acted out by her."
"This" Lin Xinyi still hesitated:
Although Belmod's analysis was very clear and logical, there was still a sense of using psychology to solve the case.
But intuition is intuition after all, and you can’t tell for sure.
and
"If it is said that Shimabukuro Kime's mood is not normal."
"Then Naoko Kuroe and Hisumi Ebihara, both of whom were close friends of the deceased Kadowaki Saori, didn't their behavior along the way become even more abnormal?"
At least Shimabukuro Kimie was shocked and sad for a while, and shed a lot of tears.
Kuroe and Ebihara were fine. When they heard that Saori was killed, they became suspicious and just worried about themselves. They didn't even cry.
It was as if in their hearts, the fear of the mermaid was far more weighty than the regret for their best friend.
"True friends emerge in times of need. Sometimes close friends who grew up together may not have deep feelings."
"Maybe they are actually sisters on the surface?"
"It's difficult for outsiders to grasp this kind of emotional issue!"
Lin Xinyi raised his doubts.
"Then" Hattori Heiji asked with some confusion: "Then what should we do now?"
"Do you need to keep an eye on Miss Shimabukuro Kimie?"
The investigation has now reached a dead end.
Shimabukuro Kimie, who shows signs of abnormality, may be their only breakthrough.
Therefore, regardless of whether Bellmode's intuition is reliable or not, he should pay special attention to Miss Shimabukuro.
Lin Xinyi understood what Hattori Heiji meant.
He thought for a moment and replied:
"Hattori, you have a point."
"Let's do this. Chris and I will stay near the shrine and wait to observe the whereabouts of Ms. Shimabukuro Kimie."
"As for you and Miss He Ye, I have to give you a task."
"What mission?" Hattori Heiji was a little curious.
"Investigating the truth behind the longevity mother-in-law." Lin Xinyi solemnly replied: "Be more detailed."
He had learned from Haibara Ai before he came that the older residents of the American Island actually knew that the so-called longevity mother-in-law was played by Shimabukuro Kimie.
But it was Gin and Vodka who were in charge of the investigation at the time.
After they knew that Changshou's mother-in-law was a fake and had no value for the organization's research, they stopped the investigation without any interest and did not dig deeper to find more clues.
So Lin Xinyi told Hattori Heiji about this matter, leaving out the part involving the organization, and asked the great detective to temporarily return to his old job, try to find an old man on the island who was willing to cooperate, and inquire in detail about the truth behind the longevity mother-in-law.
It's best to clarify a question:
"Shimabukuro Kimie studied outside the island from the age of 12 to 22. She graduated from college five years ago and returned to the American island from Tokyo."
“Five years ago, ‘Grandma Longevity’ was already 125 years old.”
"I would like to know."
Lin Xinyi asked the question in his heart seriously:
"The longevity mother-in-law from 5 years ago is really the longevity mother-in-law."
"Or...played by someone else?"
After he searched for Shimabukuro Kimie's past resume on the Internet, he had always had this question in his mind.
It just so happens that the investigation has lost its direction now, and if you want to investigate Shimabukuro Kime, you can only wait until the festival ends in the evening.
There was nothing to do for a while, so he asked the great detective Hattori Heiji to help find out the truth behind the longevity mother-in-law.
"No problem!" Hattori Heiji responded confidently.
But Miss He Ye is a little worried:
"Mr. Lin, this kind of thing is difficult to investigate, right?"
The longevity woman is the wealth code of the residents of the American island.
Who would disclose their bank card password to the outside world?
If outsiders know the truth about the legend of Changshou Po, how will the special tourism on this island be conducted in the future?
"It doesn't matter!"
Lin Xinyi was quite confident:
"He Miss Ye, don't forget who your childhood sweetheart is!"
"That's right!" Hattori Heiji couldn't help but smile proudly.
He is not the kind of arrogant person who likes to hear good things from others.
But the praise and recognition from a strong man like Lin Xinyi is particularly weighty.
So Detective Hattori couldn't help but get excited:
"He Ye, don't worry!"
"I'm the most powerful high school detective in Kansai."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Xinyi patted his shoulder encouragingly and said to Yuan Shan and Ye:
"He is the most famous wealthy young man in Kansai!"
"There are so many rich second generations in Osaka, but he has the highest appearance rate on TV."
"The residents of the island all know that Hattori is rich. They may not cooperate with his investigation, but they will never fail to cooperate with his banknotes."
Hattori Heiji:"."
The expression of this young detective who had practiced "Don't mention my dad" as a mantra suddenly became very exciting.
"Hey, what's your expression?"
"You just have to spend some money on this kind of thing, don't be reluctant."
Lin Xinyi carefully advised this disciple.
After being persuaded and persuaded, he himself became entangled.
He gritted his teeth helplessly, and suddenly glanced at Belmode beside him with a complex look that usually used to beg Haiyuan for papers:
"Okay, okay, Hattori."
"I'll reimburse you when you come back."
