Chapter 402 The Bewitching Siren
Under Shimabukuro Kimie's aggressive questioning, Kadori Saori's weak defense suddenly collapsed!
She cried and knelt in front of Shimabukuro Kime, bursting into tears: "I'm sorry, Kime, I'm sorry! I don't know anything, I just didn't draw the dugong arrow, I was a little unwilling, and I wanted to see my fate. Is it really that magical, not to mention that nothing happened to fate?"
Shimabukuro Kimie pushed her away hard: "Go away with your childish reasons, Kadori Saori! I feel disgusted that I once regarded you as my best friend!"
In the past, Shimabukuro Kime rarely said such cold and rude words. She was the gentle and generous Shimabukuro Kime in everyone's eyes. The only truth was that she had flown to heaven with her mother.
Kadori Saori grabbed Shimabukuro Kimie's leg and kept begging her for forgiveness.
"Since the fire only destroyed a warehouse and no one died, why do you have to apologize?" Shimabukuro Kimie suddenly felt sad.
The way she looked at Saori Monarishi was just like her mother looked at her in the past, gentle and patient.
"I, I don't know." Saori Kadori cried and shook her head.
Maybe she has realized the truth but doesn't dare to face it.
Shimabukuro Kimie didn't bother her anymore. She took out a red cloth strip used to decorate the shrine from the cabinet next to her, and walked slowly and step by step in front of Saori Kadori.
Kaori Saori raised his head, his eyes finally filled with a little fear.
But she didn't run away, or even call for help. She just looked at Shimabukuro Kime and said tremblingly: "I'm really sorry, Kime. I know that no matter how much I say, I can't undo the harm that happened to you." .So...no matter what you want to do, I support you."
"I would have done it without your support." Shimabukuro Kimie wrapped the cloth around Kaori Saori's neck and slowly closed her eyes.
They were also best friends at one time. They grew up together on the island that was still called the American Island at the time. They cried, laughed, and even fought together, but their friendship became stronger after every quarrel.
If that thing hadn't happened, if Saori Monari and the others hadn't set the fire, if the mother pretending to be Mingzhi hadn't died... they should still be best friends, right?
Unfortunately, there is no if.
Shimabukuro Kimie tightened the cloth.
However, the cloth seemed to be stretched as tight as possible and did not move at all.
Shimabukuro Kimie opened her eyes in confusion, only to see Hisashi Watanabe, whom she had had dinner with in the evening, standing in front of her.
"Watanabe?" Shimabukuro Kimie said in astonishment, her voice was a little hoarse, and her tone contained a strong sense of disbelief.
Nobushige tried to keep his voice gentle so as not to irritate the emotionally unstable Shimabukuro Kime: "Miss Shimabukuro, do you really want to kill this person?"
"I..." Shimabukuro Kime smiled bitterly, "Mr. Watanabe, I don't know why you appear here, but this matter has nothing to do with you. You don't know the grudge between me and her. Can you please Don’t stop me?”
Nobushige glanced at Kadori Saori who was cowering on the ground, turned to Shimabukuro Kime and showed a wanton smile: "How can a gentleman let his female companion be stained with blood? Since you want to kill this woman, then Let me do it for you!”
After that, he snatched the strip of cloth from Shimabukuro Kimie's hand, turned his hand over, and strangled Saori Kadori!
Shimabukuro Kimie turned pale with fright, and she quickly stopped: "No!!"
However, as soon as the words to stop her were spoken, even she was stunned.
At this time, Nobuhiro had already loosened the cloth. Only then did Shimabukuro Kimie realize that Hisaru Watanabe's other hand was always holding the strip of cloth around Kaori Saori's neck to prevent him from hurting her.
"You..." Shimabukuro Kimie didn't know what she should say, but the despair and cruelty in her eyes had faded a lot.
In just one minute, Kadori Saori went through: "Go to death as if you were going home" to "Someone is helping me, so I don't have to die" to "The guy who suddenly appeared is more ruthless than Shimabukuro Kimie, I'm gone" ”, and finally ends with “It turns out I’m still alive.”
The ups and downs of her mentality made it impossible for Saori Kadori to recover for a while. She lay limply on the ground, her back completely soaked with sweat.
Shimabukuro Kimie looked at the embarrassed Kadori Saori, and suddenly laughed at himself: "I am so useless, I can't bear to kill you at a time like this."
"Because killing doesn't solve any problems." Nobuhiro whispered, "Do you hate her? Then let the law punish her and let her spend the rest of her life to atone for her sins."
Nobushige's voice was like a siren in a fairy tale who was good at bewitching people. When he said those words seriously, Shimabukuro Kimie felt much relieved.
In fact, three years ago, the police at the time determined that it was not the skeleton of the mermaid. They had been looking for the true identity of the mermaid and hoped to find out the truth. However, because of her mother's dying instructions, Shimabukuro Kimie did not tell the police what she knew, and the case was hastily closed.
Now, is it time for the truth to come out?
But the identity of Mingzhang...
Shimabukuro Kimie looked at Hisashi Watanabe seriously. This man was the biggest variable in her entire plan.
Nobushige saw the fear in her eyes and said to her: "You play two roles by yourself. I already know this."
Even though she had already made such a guess, Shimabukuro Kimie was still very surprised. She opened her mouth in shock: "How do you know?"
"It's not just me, many people on the island should know about this. Do you remember the old man we met when we went to the museum in the afternoon? What he said at that time made me very concerned about why the dugong celebration depends on you. , obviously the most important person in the celebration is your great-grandmother, right?"
"So that's when you started to have doubts?"
Nobushige explained: "I also asked many people, and some people's answers were similar. Plus, after hearing the conversation between you and Miss Monori, I can roughly guess the truth of the matter."
"I see, but if you say so..." Shimabukuro Kime's expression suddenly changed, "Do all the residents of Mermaid Island know about it?"
So why has she persisted for so many years?
Is her and her mother's insistence all a joke?
Shimabukuro Kimie stumbled dejectedly. Kadori Saori wanted to help her, but she avoided him.
Nobuhiro sighed softly and asked: "If you want to make yourself invisible, there are two ways. One is to stand under the scorching sun overhead, the other is to be in the deep darkness. Which one do you want to choose?
Shimabukuro Kimie looked at Nobuhiro blankly and didn't speak for a long time.
Five minutes later, she turned on her phone and dialed a number.
After Saori Kadori saw it, a flinch flashed in her eyes, but soon her eyes became firm again.
Because the call was to the Fukui Prefectural Police.
