The snowy road at night is not easy to walk on. Kuroki's car performs well, but because he has not put on snow tires, it is a bit difficult to run here.
Fortunately, it's not snowing anymore, otherwise Memu might consider going up the mountain to see it again early tomorrow morning.
Even so, not far ahead you can see the police who came up earlier to explore the road.
"What's wrong?"
When everyone got out of the car, Mu Mu stepped forward first and asked. He saw that the police in the previous car were also surrounding them.
"Police department." Criminal Sugimoto turned around and stood at attention, "We found some clues here."
The clue was a pool of blood, which reflected mottled red on the snow and was very conspicuous when illuminated by the light.
The appearance of the blood is a large pool covering an area of one person, and dots extending upwards with no end. It looks like someone was stabbed here and then escaped upwards, or someone took him to the top. Same as walking up.
"I have notified the Chiba police officer at Yamashita to take the blood samples down for testing." Sugimoto Criminal said, "However, we do not have the blood information of the three suspects here, and the testing cannot tell whether this is related to them."
"Has anyone reached up?"
Criminal Sugimoto glanced curiously at Onto Wakaki who asked the question. This young man had often interacted with their police recently, and he knew him fairly well.
"Yes, Yaogu and the others brought people up."
Ruomu Wenren subconsciously looked back at Kuroki Jin, who had not made a sound, and then glanced at Conan who had already run ahead to see the scene.
"Then let's go up and have a look." He decided.
"You guys go up." To everyone's surprise, Kuroki Ren, who had come all the way here to investigate the case, refused to continue with them. "Will someone return to the town later? Take me back."
"Brother Kuroki?"
"I don't know anything about the case anyway. I'll just wait to hear the results."
Kuroki Jin waved his hand, found a tree to lean against, and signaled everyone to leave him alone.
Conan frowned and touched Dr. Ali gently. The doctor was so blessed that he said, "I won't follow him anymore when I'm old."
Kuroki Jin smiled nonchalantly, watching Conan and Wakamu Onto continue to follow Memu up the stairs, silently closing their eyes in deep thought.
The police collecting evidence at the scene was very quiet. Even Kuroki Jin, who is usually the most active, stopped talking. The scene was embarrassingly quiet.
The embarrassment is Dr. A Li. He is even complaining about Conan asking him to stay - because there is really nothing to see.
Soon another car was sent from below, and Chiba personally took the test results to Sugimoto. Hearing that Dr. Agasa and Kuroki Jin were going back, he waved them over.
After the doctor got in the car, he looked back at Kuromura, only to see Kuromura with his back to the moonlight, seemingly smiling.
"Dr. A Li is still catching a cold, so go back and rest early."
"Mr. Kuroki?"
"I found something interesting and want to take a look at it again."
Kuroki Jin closed the car door without any explanation and gave Sugimoto a look. Sugimoto changed assignments with Chiba knowingly and drove the car down the mountain.
"What did Mr. Kuroki find?" Chiba stayed. He was not as discerning as Sato. He just believed whatever others said.
"Well, I discovered that something must have been buried under my feet just now."
Kuroki stomped on the snow under his feet and kicked the tree trunk at his back. Some snow fell from the bare branches above.
"There is obviously less snow on this tree than the rest of the trees. Someone must have done something around the tree."
There was no damage to the tree itself, and the possibility of someone climbing the tree was almost impossible. So the most likely thing was that something was originally buried under the tree, or that a few people were standing next to the tree doing something.
Chiba called a policeman to dig out the snow around the trees with him, while Kuroki Jin looked at each tree, and finally looked in the direction where the blood stains extended.
It was also the direction that Memu and others left just now.
Mu Mu continued to drive people up, but the car had to stop not far because the road ahead was not clear. Several people got out of the car and continued walking along the bloody footprints.
Not long after walking, Conan found that the footprints on the ground had stopped.
"why is that?"
Memu looked at the snow where there were no footprints but there were still blood stains spreading upwards, and asked with some confusion.
"Keep walking." Conan did not answer him, but continued to climb up on the snow.
"How far do we have to go..."
Wakamu Wenren and Conan both have good physical strength, but Mumu is obviously not good enough. Now he is wheezing and unable to crawl.
"Why don't you, uncle, take a rest here while Conan and I go up to see if it's all over?"
Ruomuwen suggested.
Mu Mu's heart was moved for a moment, but the police's sense of responsibility would not allow two children to do such dangerous things, so he shook his head desperately.
Then keep walking. Maybe God is helping me. Not long after walking, there are no footprints on the snow, and even the blood stains disappear.
"Disappeared?" Megu looked around in frustration, but found nothing unusual, "Then we should search here?"
"Try digging down." Ruomu Wenren squatted down and looked up at the smooth snow in front of him. "It doesn't look like there are traces of someone walking in front of you."
"No need." Conan stopped him, "Let's go back the way we came."
"Why?" Mumu and Ruomu Wenren were puzzled at the same time.
"That guy is right." Conan turned around and sighed maturely, "This is a trap."
Edogawa Conan naturally discovered what Kuroki Jin could discover, especially when Kuroki Jin leaned against the tree.
There was a car behind him where he originally stood. If he wanted to rest or go back to the car, he could just go back to the car. There was no need to walk a few more steps and lean against the tree trunk to blow the cold wind outside.
The reason for doing this was to tell him...or perhaps Kuroki Jin was telling Ruomu Onren that there was something wrong under this tree, and this pool of blood was probably a trap for making false claims.
Conan's intention was to stay just now, but he was a little worried about Memu and Wakamu Onto, fearing that they would continue to explore when they saw that the footprints and blood stains were gone, which would waste time.
But it was impossible not to explore upwards. In order to save time and prevent them from wasting their efforts, they followed them up.
Anyway, it only takes less than half an hour to go back and forth, and Kuroki Ren's side shouldn't be far away in such a short period of time.
Conan calculated well, but things didn't go as he thought at all.
When Chiba led people to dig for possible things, he squatted on the snow and gently brushed the surface of the snow with his gloves, and he quickly found the things.
"Come here." Heimuren whispered. The cold snowy night made his throat a little uncomfortable, and he could only cough twice: "Found it."
Chiba stretched his head and found that what he found were two long traces on the ground that were not there originally.
"This is……?"
"Snowboards," Kuroki Hitoshi said, "It's probably the same thing that was buried under the tree before."
In other words, the three of them ran here after escaping from the hotel, found the skis that had been buried long ago, and quickly shuttled through the snow.
Then, because of the strong wind on the mountain, the floating snow on the trees or on the snow surface was blown away, and because it was difficult to see at night, the traces of the skis were covered up.
"Then let's pursue it according to this." Qianye made a quick decision.
"too slow."
