That's what happens in criminal investigations.
If a possibility cannot be completely ruled out, it must be investigated.
Since it could not be completely ruled out that insiders committed the crime at that time, it was natural to investigate whether outsiders were involved in committing the crime.
And if there is a need to investigate suspicious foreign persons, then it is normal to know the whereabouts of Gin and the others.
Of course, these are all based on his own imagination, and Tangze will not give Conan a practical answer.
He only needed to use this vague hint to induce Conan to think in this direction.
Just keep it vague like this, and if something goes wrong, you can use other excuses to cover up the lie.
For example, if there are no cameras around the Twin Towers skyscraper, and Conan happens to discover it, he can push it onto the people who are conducting a blanket search.
In this case, there may be no way to continue to verify.
But if Conan no longer pursues the case, there is no need to make the matter so final.
It's just a habit of keeping high-level insurance in Yiyi's hands. These are Tangze's daily basic operations.
Although many times these backhands are useless, and it can be regarded as Tang Ze's "fight of wits and courage" with the air, but if they can be used, they are absolutely crucial insurance.
After thinking about it for a while, Conan roughly understood the cause and effect of Karasawa's discovery of Gin, and at the same time, he was also worried about the series of actions Karasawa made.
After all, this is like walking a tightrope. If you make a mistake, the consequences will be disastrous.
Not only that, even if the plan succeeds, the black organization will usher in crazy revenge. Such a dangerous plan actually allowed Tang Ze to succeed.
This made Conan a little surprised.
Even if Tangze's account was not so detailed, just a few words may be enough to imagine the thrilling nature of it.
"Okay, that's all there is to talk about. Go back and find time to think about it more."
Tang Ze looked at Conan who was lost in his thoughts again, and waved his hand in front of him to draw his attention back: "Let's go out quickly. I think Genta and the others will be back soon."
"Ah...Okay." After regaining consciousness, Conan nodded and walked out of the tent with Karasawa.
"Have you finished talking?" Huiyuan, who was looking out, saw the two of them and chuckled: "It's really timely, otherwise I would have to go in to find you."
When the two heard this, they looked into the distance, where three little ones were walking towards the camp, talking and laughing.
"Come on, let's go help too."
Seeing that the main business was almost settled, Tang Ze also planned to start solving this case.
As for how to trigger the case, it is naturally to find the three little ones.
As soon as they arrived at the center of the camp, the three little ones who had put down the branches hurriedly ran over.
"Listen to me! Listen to me! When we were picking up wood before, we encountered a strange stone box."
Seeing a few people coming, Ayumi couldn't wait to share with them what she had experienced while picking up branches.
"It's a square box with a round hole on each side, but it's made of wood." Yuantai described the appearance of the stone box unwilling to lag behind.
"When we looked into the hole, we found that there were many Chinese characters engraved on the inside of the box."
When Mitsuhiko said this, he recalled: "It seems to have written something like "The Time of Nioh"... But because the whole article is described in Chinese characters, I really can't understand it..."
"Stone box? Chinese characters?"
Conan murmured and repeated it, then he and Tang Ze looked at each other, then looked at the three of them and said, "Hey, I said, can you take us to see it?"
"Yeah, I'm a little curious too." Tangze echoed with a smile: "And I'm familiar with Chinese characters, so I can take a look at the content."
"No problem." After hearing what the two said, the third child seemed to have made a great contribution, and was ready to take Tang Ze and others to the place where they saw the stone box before.
Tangze, who already knew the plot, naturally knew what would happen next, so he called Takagi over and followed them into the forest.
Although it is said to be a forest, it is only the outermost area, and there are also human-made paths that can be passed through.
Under the leadership of the three little ones, several people climbed a hillside and soon arrived at a place that was somewhat remote from the camp.
"Look, that's where we found the stone box!"
Looking in the direction of Mitsuhiko's finger, everyone discovered that there was a very dilapidated mansion sitting on the ground on the left hand side of their hillside. There was even a small lake in front of the door. It must have been a beautiful place back then.
"I didn't expect there to be such a big house in a place like this."
After arriving below, Takagi couldn't help but be a little surprised when he looked at the dilapidated house in front of him: "But if you look closely, the walls are very dilapidated and covered with moss. It should have been abandoned long ago."
"It's really shabby..." Mitsuhiko agreed.
"It looks a bit eerie..." Yuantai commented immediately.
"It looks like a haunted house..." Ayumi also sighed.
As the group talked, they came to the front of the mansion and saw the old wooden gate.
"this is..."
Conan looked at the door and touched it, but before he could make any move, Ayumi on the side called his name and waved for him to come over quickly.
"Look, look, this is where we found the stone box."
Ayumi squatted next to the stone box and said, "Look, there are a lot of Chinese characters in it."
"Why is it so wet?" Tang Ze looked at the appearance of the stone box and asked, pretending to be strange.
"That was when we came here before. It was actually in the water." Yuantai heard this and said with a smile: "There was a carp swimming in the box at that time. We wanted to catch that carp, so we fished out Shihezi. Come up."
"Then I discovered the Chinese characters inside." Mitsuhiko looked at Tang Ze expectantly: "Did you see anything?"
"This should be a stone lantern."
Karasawa smiled and said: "Isn't it common to see that kind of stone building in Japanese gardens? The bottom is a stone pillar base, the middle is a hollow box, and the top is the shape of a tower.
The square box you picked up is called a "fire bag" and is where candles are placed. "
"Listening to what you said, it does look very similar..."
Mitsuhiko looked at the stone box on the ground up and down, and immediately asked with some confusion: "But if it is Shidong Road, then where are the top of the mountain and the base?"
"About this, don't you know this just by looking at this small lake?" Conan looked at the lake with a smile.
In the clearly visible lake, a pile of stone lantern parts were quietly piled at the bottom of the lake.
