Chapter 392 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada

It's easy to find Kikue Tanaka. Nobushige had installed a transmitter produced by the organization on Kikue Tanaka when they first met today.

It was precisely because he successfully installed the transmitter without any obstruction that Nobushige had doubts about Tanaka Kikue's ability.

Although Gin often suffers from bugs and transmitters, he is facing Conan after all, who has the aura of the protagonist and the creator's preference written in the plot. Gin would not make such a careless mistake when facing anyone else, including FBI Akai Shuichi.

Even if he was confronting Conan and the FBI at the same time, Gin could still keenly detect the bugs stuck on the soles of Keir's shoes, let alone such a blatant contact.

At least Nobuhiro had no confidence that he could install such a thing on Gin casually. After all, the price of being discovered was too high.

He used the software installed on his mobile phone to find the location of Tanaka Kikue, which was a beach on Mermaid Island that was very suitable for fun. Many tourists were sunbathing on the beach, and there were children chasing the waves.

Nobushige found a higher place and looked at the entire beach, looking for Tanaka Kikue's figure.

Soon he found it.

Tanaka Kikue didn't know when she changed into a cool swimsuit. She wore black sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat. If it weren't for the fact that Nobushige was responsible for her disguise, even he might not have been able to recognize Tanaka Kikue in a short time.

This woman who looked like an ordinary tourist stopped in front of a stall selling freshly squeezed juice. On the surface, she was relaxing and enjoying the sea breeze, but in reality, her eyes hidden by sunglasses were like poisonous snakes waiting for opportunities in the dark. Generally, he kept a close eye on everyone around him.

Tanaka Kikue has already found out that a person in charge of celebration fireworks on Mermaid Island is selling swimming rings on the beach at this time. Shimabukuro Kimie will come to him today to discuss the fireworks on the day of the celebration. As long as she waits here quietly, she will get a chance to get acquainted with Shimabukuro Kime naturally.

However, Tanaka Kikue probably didn't expect that when she paid close attention to her surroundings, there was a pair of eyes on the high ground not far away that were always staring at her.

More than half an hour later, the sun was about to set, and Tanaka Kikue and Shimabukuro Kimie finally arrived.

In the photo, Shimabukuro Kimie was always wearing a serious miko outfit, but now she appeared on the beach wearing refreshing casual clothes.

Shimabukuro Kimie walked to the stall where there were no more customers and chatted with the stall owner for a few words. They soon agreed on the celebration fireworks a few days later.

Immediately, Shimabukuro Kimie said goodbye to the man and walked toward the coastal road with her bag on her back.

Tanaka Kikue placed the ice juice in her hand on the rock aside, and then walked towards a certain location pretending to be casual.

As she walked, Tanaka Kikue pretended to be talking on the phone. She covered most of her face with a sun hat. She walked eagerly and "accidentally" bumped into Shimabukuro Kimie.

"Ah! Sorry!" Shimabukuro Kime apologized subconsciously, but the woman she bumped into continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened.

Shimabukuro Kimie felt very strange. She couldn't help but stare at Tanaka Kikue's back for a long time.

But until the woman's figure disappeared, Shimabukuro Kimie didn't see anything unusual.

She frowned deeply and left quickly without staying on the beach for too long.

…

After Kikue Tanaka left the beach, she first found a public restroom, changed out of her swimsuit, rearranged her hairstyle, and threw away her hat and sunglasses.

Then she opened Shimabukuro Kimie's wallet, took out all the cash and flushed it into the toilet.

The wallet was obtained by Tanaka Kikue when she passed by Shimabukuro Kimie. She has deep knowledge in magic, and her hand speed is beyond the reach of ordinary people. It is easy for her to steal a wallet without leaving any trace. .

Tanaka Kikue took a look at the contents of her wallet and found that in addition to cash, Shimabukuro Kimie's wallet actually contained two medical cards.

One of them says Shimabukuro Kimie, and the other belongs to a girl named Kadowaki Saori.

Tanaka Kikue was just surprised for a moment, and soon she put the matter behind her. She put away her purse and left the bathroom after making sure no one was around.

Thanks to the home address recorded on her medical card, it made more sense for her to return her wallet.

Tanaka Kikue walked into the bathroom wearing a swimsuit and changed back into casual clothes when she came out, and Nobushige caught sight of her. He leisurely kept a distance that was neither too far nor too close, and stayed behind Tanaka Kikue.

Tanaka Kikue wandered around the island for a long time like an ordinary tourist. She even entered the bar and ordered a mojito.

Mojito is a cocktail made with rum, sugar cane juice, lime juice, soda water, and mint. It feels very refreshing in the mouth and is a very suitable drink for summer.

Nobushige wondered whether it was a coincidence that Tanaka Kikue chose a cocktail with rum as the base liquor. But at least she didn't order a rum and Epcot special like Belmode did...

Tanaka Kikue walked around Mermaid Island until around nine o'clock in the evening, and then she arrived at Shimabukuro's house as if she finally remembered her mission.

As the celebration approaches, Shimabukuro's house is brightly lit.

Tanaka Kikue pressed the doorbell with her fingers.

"Who is it?" A clear female voice came from inside the house.

"Are you Ms. Shimabukuro Kimie? I am a tourist on Mermaid Island. I found your wallet in the bathroom on the coast."

Tanaka Kikue adjusted her voice to be as gentle as possible to lower Shimabukuro Kime's vigilance. After all, it was late at night, and there was a sudden knock on the door from a stranger. Since Shimabukuro Kimie lived with his elderly great-grandmother, there was a high probability that he would not open the door.

A few seconds later, Shimabukuro Kimie opened the door. At this time, she had changed back into the miko's clothes.

With a gentle smile on her face, she said, "Thank you so much. I didn't realize my wallet was missing until I got home."

Shimabukuro Kimie took the wallet, and Tanaka Kikue immediately pretended to be concerned and said, "Quickly check to see if the things inside are missing. But since it was thrown in such a place, I'm afraid your wallet was stolen by a thief."

"Well, there's no cash in it." Shimabukuro Kimie opened her wallet, her eyes paused slightly on the medical card, and then quickly closed it again.

Shimabukuro Kimie raised his head and smiled at Tanaka Kikue: "If you don't mind, you can come in for a cup of tea and some snacks, which can be considered as my thanks."

"Then I would be disrespectful."

In this way, Tanaka Kikue successfully entered Shimabukuro Kimie's home.
