After asking for Chen Anxia's contact information, Suzuki Sonoko left in a daze.
At this time, Suzuki Sonoko was imagining a date with Chen Anxia in her mind. When she thought of certain scenes, she couldn't help but burst out laughing, attracting the attention of those around her.
Of course, these glances seemed a little strange.
On the other side, Chen Anxia knew that Suzuki Sonoko would most likely meet up with Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan, and he also knew that he could naturally get to know Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan through this, but he did not follow them rashly.
On the one hand, it still seems a bit abrupt and deliberate to follow him now.
On the other hand, there is no rush to get to know Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan.
Because of Suzuki Sonoko's relationship, Chen Anxia can wait until a more appropriate time to get to know Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan.
It is even possible that Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan took the initiative to get to know themselves.
But now, Chen Anxia has more important things to do.
The thing is gathering information about a case from four years ago.
For Chen Anxia, the case four years ago was likely to be the beginning of his detective journey, so he naturally had to pay more attention to it.
As for the channels for collecting information...
Chen Anxia turned around and looked around, quickly locked on his target, and walked towards it.
Chen Anxia's target is the senior staff of this ski resort.
Chen Anxia believes that apart from the police who handled the case at the time, they were the ones who knew the best about the case four years ago.
The senior staff member Chen Anxia targeted was the manager of the ski resort that rented ski equipment to external parties. His honest and prosperous appearance gave people the image of a good old man, and he seemed to be in the easy-to-talk category.
Sure enough, when the manager saw Chen Anxia approaching, he couldn't help but reveal a simple and honest smile on his face, and proactively asked, "Excuse me, do you need any help?"
After hearing this, Chen Anxia did not hesitate and asked directly, "I am a junior high school detective. I am very interested in the case that happened here four years ago. I want to find out about the case from you four years ago." detail?"
The manager was stunned when he heard this, with a strange look on his face. He looked at Chen Anxia and murmured in confusion, "Another junior high school student detective. Why do junior high school students now love to be detectives? Is it the current trend?"
Chen Anxia understood something when he saw this. He knew that there must be someone who claimed to be a junior high school detective before him, and asked the manager in front of him about the details of the case four years ago.
Don't think too much, the person who claims to be a junior high school detective is either Kudo Shinichi, Hattori Heiji, or both.
After the manager muttered to himself, without thinking much, he directly talked about the case four years ago and said, "Four years ago, there was a crew filming here, and the person who had the accident was a male stand-in in the crew. actor."
"I remember it was snowing heavily at the time, and the man took the cable car of this ski resort down the mountain alone, and on the way, the man shot himself."
Chen Anxia frowned slightly when he heard this, and confirmed in his mouth, "Suicide?"
The manager nodded and affirmed without hesitation, "It's suicide."
At this moment, a slightly aged voice suddenly said, "No, that was not suicide, but homicide."
Chen Anxia and the management staff followed the sound and saw a dusty middle-aged man with a cigarette in his mouth, a detective hat and a windbreaker, and a stubble on his face walking slowly over.
Those words just now were what this middle-aged man said.
After hearing what the middle-aged man said, the manager couldn't help but frown and said, "Don't talk nonsense here. The police had already closed the case as suicide."
The middle-aged man smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly upon hearing this, "Can that case really be closed? There are obviously still doubts that have not been clarified."
When the manager heard this, he looked a little hesitant, as if he knew something.
At this moment, the manager saw the middle-aged man's face clearly, and his expression was startled.
Then, the manager seemed to have discovered something and couldn't help but point at the middle-aged man and said in surprise, "Ah, I remember, are you the policeman who asked me about the details of the case back then?"
Seeing this, Chen Anxia also showed a look of surprise on his face. He never expected that the middle-aged man in front of him would be a policeman.
At the same time, Chen Anxia also noticed something unusual.
If the middle-aged man in front of him was really a policeman, why would he deny the conclusion of the suicide case made by the police back then and instead say that it was a homicide?
Before Chen Anxia could express his doubts, the middle-aged man said with some ease, "I have been fired because I was too focused on this strange case that happened in another county."
Hearing this, Chen Anxia raised his brows slightly, as if he had discovered something, and asked, "You must have a good relationship with the deceased."
The middle-aged man was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Chen Anxia in surprise and nodded and said, "Yes, he and I grew up together, and our relationship is like that of brothers."
As he said that, the middle-aged man couldn't help but curiously asked, "Young man, how do you know that I have a good relationship with him? I remember I didn't say that, right?"
After hearing this question, Chen Anxia responded directly, "I denied the police conclusion of the suicide case, and was fired because of this case. I am still obsessed with this case even now."
"If it weren't for the deep relationship with the deceased, it would be impossible for ordinary people to do this."
When the middle-aged man heard this, the curiosity on his face became more intense, and he continued to ask, "How do you know that I am still obsessed with this case?"
Chen Anxia smiled slightly and said, "This is what you told me."
After hearing this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said with some confusion, "I told you? When did I tell you?"
Chen Anxia did not mince words and responded directly, "Didn't you say before that you were fired because you were too focused on this strange case that happened in another county?"
"This sentence reveals that you are not from Yamagata Prefecture, and the reason why you are here today is obviously not to ski here."
"Because you are not wearing any ski equipment, and your clothes are only windbreakers and not special cold-proof clothing for skiing."
"Then, the reason why you are here today is obviously related to the case four years ago."
As he spoke, Chen Anxia stared at the middle-aged man with his penetrating eyes, and continued, "Well, let me guess whether the people related to that case are also here today."
"Even among them you are the murderer..."
boom!
The thunder on the ground suddenly started at this moment!
