When Kadowaki Saori lost her Dugong Arrow, she also faced a breakdown.
She went to her friend, a shrine maiden, for advice and begged for her help. In her haste, Kadowaki Saori revealed the truth about the fire three years ago.
He was thus killed by Junhui, who was shocked and grieving over her mother's wrongful death.
Junhui's targets for revenge also include two other people...
...
Upon arriving at the village office on the island to inquire, Kogoro, Yoruichi Toyama, and the others indeed received bad news.
Kadowaki Saori has been missing for three days.
It was exactly the day Kogoro made that phone call.
Thinking about it that way, the woman's groans were very likely the sounds of Kadowaki Saori on her deathbed.
This hypothesis immediately weighed heavily on the detectives' minds.
"Um... excuse me," the village office clerk stammered, "I have to go and attend to festival matters. If you want to know other information, could you go to the shop where Saori works?"
It should be said that detectives always encounter this kind of excuse during their investigations, and Kogoro is already used to it.
But the young people beside him all looked unwilling.
“Please wait a moment,” Shinichi Kudo spoke first, “Someone has gone missing, and you haven’t called the police or taken it seriously. Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?”
He was saying exactly what Yoruichi Toyama wanted to say.
Considering the recent push to put Shinichi Kudo in the spotlight of major media outlets, no one spoke up.
The clerk, facing the criticism, scratched his head and looked embarrassed.
"Oh no! Everyone's busy with the festival!"
"Besides, Saori has run away from home more than once or twice, and everyone is used to it. Nothing bad will happen."
"Huh?" Shinichi Kudo's expression was a bit absurd. "That Saori-san, she often runs away from home?"
Where do you usually go?
"Let's go to the main island to relax. We haven't asked about the specifics."
"Who told her to have such an alcoholic father? When he's drunk, he's either beating or arguing..."
When asked about these private matters, the clerk lowered his voice and then hurriedly rubbed his hands together.
"I...I really have to go now, everyone..."
"Then please tell us where Ms. Saori's house is, and where the shop where she works is," Yoruichi Toyama interjected.
"We'll also ask her about her friends who are close to her."
Upon hearing this request, the clerk, in the spirit of "better to sacrifice a friend than myself," listed several addresses and names.
Kadowaki Saori's house.
American Island Gift Shop.
American shrines.
Kadowaki Saori's father: Kadowaki Benzo.
Saori's friends: Naoko Kuroe, a fellow gift shop employee; Kimie Shimabukuro, a shrine maiden from an American shrine; Toshimi Ebihara, the daughter of a net weaver; and Rokuro Fukuyama, a fisherman.
“Alright,” Yoruichi Toyama smiled after reading the series of names, and looked at her companion in front of her, “It seems that, like Tsukikage Island, we will have to split up again this time.”
How should we divide into groups?
