Officer Megure and others asked Kogoro Mori and the villagers at the scene about the case.

Finally, three suspects were identified.

The first one was the candidate for village chief this term, Masato Shimizu.

Because the identities of two of the three dead people have been confirmed.

They are the current village chief, Tatsuji Kuroiwa, and the largest capitalist on the island, Hideo Kawashima.

And these two people happened to be candidates for village chief this term.

The biggest beneficiary of their death was Masato Shimizu, who was also a candidate for village chief.

He would naturally become the first suspect of the police.

As for the other two suspects, they are the missing Ken Nishimoto and Kazuaki Hirata, the secretary of the village chief.

There are two suspects, but there is only one.

The other one should be the third charred corpse lying with the current village chief, Tatsuji Kuroiwa, and the capitalist Hideo Kawashima.

It's just that the police have not been able to confirm the identity of the third charred corpse for the time being.

Officer Megure ordered his men to search for Ken Nishimoto or Kazuaki Hirata throughout the island.

And notify all villagers that if any of the two people are found, they must notify them as soon as possible.

Inspector Megure himself began to interrogate Shimizu Masato.

Maori Kogoro also assisted in the interrogation.

"Mr. Officer, I really didn't kill the village chief Kuroiwa and Mr. Kawashima. When the explosion happened, I was at the community center with Dr. Honest!"

"Mr. Maori was also present at the time, and he can testify for me."Shimizu Masato was in a lot of trouble.

He never thought that he would become a suspect in the murder of Kuroiwa Village Chief and Kawashima Hideo.

He could not kill people just for the position of village chief.

"Mr. Shimizu, we were together when the explosion happened. But you didn't need to be there when the explosion happened."

"You can make a timer or a remote control device.

"Mr. Maori, I am just a fisherman. I don't know how to make a bomb."Shimizu Masato's face was full of bitterness.

How could he be sure that he was the murderer?

Officer Sato came over.

"Officer Megure has investigated everything. According to the testimony of Mr. Kuroiwa and Mr. Kawashima's family, they have not been seen since they woke up in the morning."

"And when I went to their house, I found that Mr. Kuroiwa and Mr. Kawashima left in their pajamas."

"As for their wives, they didn't notice them leaving. Officer Sato reported.

"How could this happen? Did they leave on their own?"Mouri Kogoro was confused.

People who sleep in the same bed don't even feel the person next to them leave.

It can only be that they left on their own.

But leaving in pajamas doesn't seem normal.

"Not necessarily. It is also possible that the criminals used drugs such as incense in advance, so they could kidnap people without anyone noticing."Inspector Megure said.

This kind of thing has happened before.

""Mr. Officer, I'm just a fisherman, I don't know anything about medicine." Shimizu Masato looked helpless.

It was too hard for him.

While Officer Megure and Maori Kogoro were questioning Shimizu Masato, Conan ran to the only old policeman on the island.

The old policeman was very old and should be very familiar with the things on the island.

""Officer, did Mr. Aso really set the fire and burn his family to death?" Conan asked curiously.

In Conan's opinion, today's murder case is not an independent case.

It should be closely related to the former village chief Mr. Kameyama who died three years ago and Aso Keiji who died twelve years ago.

So he has to start from the source.

"Because there were four witnesses who saw it.

"Who are they?"

"Let me think about it, the former village chief Mr. Kameyama, and the village chief Kuroiwa, Mr. Kawashima and Mr. Nishimoto."The old inspector thought for a while and said.

Hearing these familiar names, I thought to myself that it was true!

Except for the current village chief's secretary Hirata Kazuaki, everyone else is related to that Asagami Keiji!

"What does An have to do with the four of them?" Conan continued to ask.

"Including Mr. Aso, the five of them grew up together."The old inspector recalled

"Oh? Then what about the village chief's secretary, the man called Hirata?" Conan asked again

"That man is a coward. But I often see him sneaking around with Mr. Kawashima at the community center.

"What kind of person is Mr. Shimizu?"

"He, he has a strong sense of justice, and is very popular among other fishermen."

Conan caught up with the old inspector and asked him a lot of questions.

He got a lot of important clues.

The most important one is the relationship between Keiji Aso, who died twelve years ago, and the other four people.

All the cases are linked together.

This is most likely a revenge!

Twelve years ago, Keiji Aso did not set fire to his family, but was murdered.

And the murderer is probably the thinking witness at the time.

The former village chief Kameyama Yong, the current village chief Kuroiwa Tatsuji, the capitalist Kawashima Hideo, and the last one Nishimoto Ken.

Three years ago, the murderer killed Kameyama Yong.

Now, three years later, the murderer continues to kill Kuroiwa Village Chief, Mr. Kawashima and Mr. Nishimoto at the same time.

The murderer must have a close relationship with Keiji Aso who died twelve years ago!

It may be a relative, or it may be a very good friend.

The village chief's secretary Hirata Kazuaki, could it be him?

But everything now is just his reasoning, and there is no evidence at all.

This gives Conan a headache.

If Hirata Kazuaki has other hidden identities...……

""Officer uncle, does Keiji Aso have any particularly good friends? Or, does he have a son besides his daughter?" Conan suddenly asked.

Because Hirata Kazuaki is about 30 years old, Aso Keiji and Kuroiwa village chief are the same age, both in their 50s.

Hirata Kazuaki is likely to be Aso Keiji's son.

In order to avenge his family, he went undercover beside the village chief to investigate the truth of what happened back then.

Then he killed all the murderers who killed his family back then.

After doing all this, he fled alone.

This is very possible!

"Now that you mention it, I remember that Mr. Aso does have a son in addition to a daughter."

"When he was a child, he had a serious illness and had been in the hospital. His name should be... Chengshi."The old inspector recalled

"Cheng Shi!? Wait... could it be!!"Conan was shocked.

This was different from what he had deduced!

How could it be Cheng Shi?

Shouldn't it be that guy Hirata!!

"Officer Megure! Found it! Hirata Kazuaki found it!!"Officer Takagi ran in.
