Grab your gear and leave the hotel.
A few people walked on the mountain road for about 10 minutes. Dr. Ali, who lacked physical exercise, had to stop and ask for a rest after fully realizing that mountain climbing is also strenuous work.
"Doctor, hold on a little longer and we'll be there soon."
Yuantai pointed to the cliff not far ahead: "The hill the hotel owner mentioned should be over there!"
This... this is at least 50 meters high.
Dr. A Li sat down on the stone and gasped: "No... I need to rest for a while..."
"It's better to climb up while the sun hasn't set yet." Conan suggested.
"That's right, doctor!" Mitsuhiko explained with an example: "Look at Brother Gengyi carrying such a heavy telescope, but he can still walk faster than us."
"Oh, please be more considerate and considerate of the elderly." Dr. Ali said nothing and did not get up.
You, you used to often say, don't let people treat you as an old person... Conan cursed in his half-moon eyes.
"In that case, let's rest where we are for 10 minutes."
Haihara Ai said: "Anyway, we have prepared flashlights. At worst, we will walk slower after dark. We can't leave the doctor here alone."
"Please don't leave me alone!" Dr. Ali said obediently.
"If there's really nothing I can do to you, then just rest..."
Yuantai moved a stone from the side and came back to temporarily use it as a stool to sit on.
Just as Conan was casually discussing the strange content of the invitation with a few people, Ayumi's scream suddenly came from the other side.
Started again?
Ye Geng walked over and looked at the skull on the ground in silence.
Immediately, Huihara Ai also found scattered ribs, mandibles, upper wrist bones and thigh bones in the grass.
"Why, how could this happen..." The children covered their mouths.
"Did he fall from the hill?" Dr. Ali guessed.
"It is very possible that this person's body has turned into bones. It has obviously been a long time," Haihara Ai analyzed: "It should be due to exposure to wind, rain, and being eaten by animals, so Bones were scattered everywhere."
"There are no signs of being chewed on the bones." Ye Gengyi said.
"Yes," Conan added firmly: "And this is not an accident, but an extremely vicious murder case!"
"Huh?" The three children were surprised and confused.
"Look, there is lime here..."
Conan picked up a small gray-white soil clod and said: "Lime can accelerate the decomposition of corpses by absorbing rainwater and heating up. It can also confuse the death event and the cause of death."
Ayumi said hesitantly: "This...could it be Mr. Kazuno they just mentioned?"
"It can't be such a coincidence." Yuantai was a little nervous.
"Oh, you must be thinking too much. Didn't Mr. Kazuno send an invitation letter to those three people just now?" Mitsuhiko comforted: "No matter how powerful the lime is, it is impossible to burn the corpse until only the bones are left. .”
“There is caries on the mandibular central incisor of the skeleton,” Ye Gengyi adjusted the focus of the camera on his mobile phone, took a simple photo, and said, “We just need to contact the police to check the hotel’s accommodation list, as well as the missing persons in recent years. With his tooth shape, it should be easy to find out who he is.”
"Perhaps this is the skeleton of Mr. Nono," Conan lifted a stone next to the skull. "Look...there is a ring and a cigarette case pressed here. The ring is engraved with Nonomiya Etsuko and Noma. Xiong, it seems that this should be the message Mr. Kazuo left before his death after he was pushed down."
As he spoke, he took out his handkerchief from his pocket, picked up the cigarette box and poured out the cigarettes inside.
There are six roots in total, four long and two short.
Immediately, Conan gathered around with three small heads and a big bald head and started discussing.
Hui Yuan Ai took the opportunity to get close to Ye Gengyi and asked, "Hey, what do you think?"
"You should ask Yuan Fang this question, Mr. Di..." Ye Gengyi's eyes closed.
"Ah? Lord Di? Yuan Fang... who are they?" Hui Yuan Ai was at a loss... it didn't sound like the name of the wine.
"You don't know him," Ye Gengyi had no intention of explaining. He turned his head and looked behind him and said, "Someone is coming."
He just finished speaking.
From the other end of the hiking trail, there was the rustling sound of shoe soles on dead leaves.
It didn't take a while.
The owner of the hotel, Tian Tu Lingsi, hurried to them.
Dr. Ali, who was about to call the police, was startled. He was worried that the murderer was someone in the hotel, so he asked nervously:
"Tian...Mr. Tiantu, why are you here?"
"I'm really sorry," the hotel owner gestured to the cloth bag he was carrying, "I forgot to put the lead pendant in the set of telescopes you rented..."
He scratched his head, his face full of apology, but his eyes kept looking behind Dr. A Li, and then, as expected, he saw the white bones scattered on the ground.
"Dead... dead?!"
"Well, we just..."
"Ah, ah, people are dead, people are dead!"
The hotel owner seemed to be frightened and didn't intend to listen to Dr. A Li's explanation. He turned around and ran away.
"Hey! Wait a minute!"
Dr. A Li still wanted to chase, but was stopped by Ye Gengyi, "Doctor, there is no need. Since the bones are deliberately spread out, it shows that someone hopes that the death of Wano Asao will be discovered by others. Let's wait and see. It will be good if it changes.”
"Maybe the guy hiding behind the scenes is still planning some conspiracy," Conan said with a serious face, "I always feel that there is something wrong with that invitation letter."
"Could it be the owner of the hotel?" Yuantai guessed. "If we talk about the invitation letter, he is the only one among those people who has not received it."
"You can't use this as a reference..."
Conan shook his head, thinking of his major mistake in the Okinawa incident, and said cautiously: "The person who sent the invitation letter can also pretend that he has received the exact same letter. Maybe this is still a gang crime. Brother Gengyi, you What do you think?"
(?_?)... Are you going to collect clues at the scene and wait until the police arrive?
I think you, the God of Death, just want to satisfy your addiction to solving puzzles...
Ye Gengyi was too lazy to pay attention to him, and he was also not interested in the murder scene that had not been known for a long time. He turned to everyone:
"It seems that everyone is not in the mood to see the stars anymore, so let's go back to the hotel first."
"Uh..." Conan hesitated.
"I agree," Haiyuan Ai agreed. "Anyway, the owner of the hotel has already seen the skeleton. He will definitely tell the three people when he goes back. If we continue to stay here, it will be easy to confused the situation."
"...There won't be any danger," Dr. Ali was a little worried. "I just tried it. If the reception here is not good, the call can't be made at all."
"It doesn't matter." Conan looked up at someone confidently again, "Brother Gengyi, you must have brought it with you. It's the antenna that can enhance the mobile phone signal."
Is there some force somewhere that wants me, a leader of the organization, to press my phone in front of Conan?
Ye Gengyi thought for a moment, decided to avoid this time period for the time being, and said, "You are thinking too much."
Well……
"No, I didn't bring it with me..."
Conan's expression froze on his face, he was silent for a moment, and then said humbly: "Haha... let's go back to the hotel first. I remember there is a landline at the front desk."
