Red Tree Hotel.
Just looking at the name, I immediately got a feeling of 'local characteristics'.
Go down the mountain along the path used by many tourists.
Ye Gengyi, Conan, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko arrived in front of this half-Edo style building.
The reason why it is said to be a 'half-Edo-style building' is mainly because the inn is open for business after all, so there are no thick walls built around the Yashiki.
Not only that, as if to allow tourists to appreciate the upright maple trees around them, the area originally used to install wooden rainproof doors and windows and paper sliding doors and windows has now been replaced with glass that provides better lighting.
Suzuki Sonoko didn't have Ye Gengyi's keen observation of details, so she had to use vernacular to describe her intuitive impression of the hotel:
"Hmm...it looks a little weird..."
Stepping into the hotel, the sounds of tourists talking, discussing, laughing and having fun filled my ears.
After Suzuki Sonoko ran to the front desk and finished writing a message, the four of them found a nearby restaurant to eat.
Ye Gengyi, Conan and Mao Lilan were not too hungry, so they only ordered coffee, juice and some desserts.
Suzuki Sonoko, on the other hand, looked absent-minded and pointed at the recommended set meal on the menu, then sat at the dining table and started to stare blankly.
She didn't move her chopsticks until the three of them finished eating.
Um? Is this young lady's neurological reflex arc so long? Are you still worried about the handkerchief?
Ye Geng was drinking coffee and accidentally guessed the truth.
"Garden..."
Mao Lilan asked with a little confusion and concern, "Don't you have an appetite?"
"Well," Suzuki Sonoko looked serious and nodded solemnly and seriously: "Let's go to the forest over there again."
"You want to go again?" Mao Lilan was surprised and naturally wanted to ask the reason, "Why?"
"Because I care very much!"
Suzuki Sonoko looked at the red maple leaves outside the window and gave an example: "Xiaolan, if you and Shinichi make an appointment to wear red clothes on a date, but Shinichi is attracted to other cute girls wearing red clothes, you will not only be late but also If you happen to forget to wear red clothes to an appointment...that situation will be the same as what I am experiencing now, right?"
Sonoko, what are you talking about... Conan's half-moon eyes.
"The mood is probably as complicated as seeing a cow drinking milk for the first time." Ye Geng said.
Hey hey! Why don't you use such an abstract metaphor to describe me? Besides, don’t cows drink milk? Conan Khan.
"That's right, that's right! Brother Genichi, even with that kind of mood, you still understand me!" Suzuki Sonoko nodded crazily.
What do you understand? Why don’t I understand a word? Conan complained crazily in his heart.
No, I just hope that when Kyogoku really comes for the handkerchief, he can watch and record the data from the sidelines... Ye Geng sneered, nodded calmly and said 'hmm', expressing his agreement.
"We must not let this happen!"
Mao Lilan slammed the table and stood up, "Let's go! Yuanzi, let's go now!"
What, what is all this...what are these three people talking about!
Conan was shocked. It turned out that the person who didn't integrate into the group was myself?
…
After checking out and leaving the restaurant, the four of them embarked on the mountain climbing journey again.
We walked for about tens of minutes.
It was getting late at this time, and the maple leaves in the distance turned from fiery red to dark red due to the light. With the afterglow of the setting sun, the entire sky was dyed a bloody color. Look at the red leaves hanging high on the branches. The handkerchiefs were fluttering in the wind and placed in various weird shapes, which really added a touch of spookiness to the atmosphere.
"Garden...it's so dark, I'm a little worried about monsters appearing..."
Lu Chi and afraid of ghosts, Mao Lilan held on to Suzuki Sonoko's sleeve tightly, fearing that if someone didn't notice, she would look back again and find that she was the only one left in the entire forest.
"Don't worry, we will be there soon." Suzuki Sonoko comforted.
Ye Geng led the way, and suddenly his eyes moved down, and he found a notepad lying quietly among the maple leaves.
ホジミ……
"It's from the art director."
"It must have been accidentally dropped. I don't know if the person is still in the forest."
Suzuki Sonoko muttered and looked around: "If you can't find it, just hand it over to the police in the town when you get down from the mountain."
Conan ran over, picked up the notepad from the ground, and flipped through a few pages out of habit.
A sticky feeling came into contact with the palm of his hand on the cover on the back, and then he saw a bright red finger mark on the date on the page where work items were recorded, April 1st.
No way? !
Conan was startled. He closed the cover of the notepad and immediately saw the uncoagulated blood on his palm. He immediately warned: "Everyone, be careful. There may be danger around here."
After saying that, he ran out first.
Ye Geng raised his arm, then took it back after a second thought.
Forget it, don’t smear my blood again, and...
His eyes scanned several areas. Are there too many suspects this time?
A break for thinking.
Near the big tree not far away, Mao Lilan, who was chasing after him, screamed, and then came the sound of Conan yelling to call the police.
Let's leave the matter of fixing the murder scene to the little detective first.
There is no rush to find a 'medium'. It's better to find out the situation first. After all, the living are always scarier than the dead.
Ye Gengyi took a few steps back and walked around to a maple tree to observe the climbing point.
He jumped up and took off a few times quickly. His figure was hidden in the wind and the rustling of maple leaves. Without attracting almost anyone's attention, he came to the top of the sneaky group of people hiding under the shadow of the trees.
It almost didn't attract anyone's attention, and it wasn't that it wasn't noticed at all... Ye Gengyi knew that he was still discovered when he landed at the last place.
Even if the factor of distance is excluded, the fact that the other party is a master cannot be denied...
Unexpectedly, while most people's attention was focused on Xiaolan who called the police, there were still people who could notice her sneaking closer.
Ye Gengyi frowned slightly, ignoring the crowd who couldn't even find his trace, and fixed his eyes on the tent diagonally below.
Hey, have you locked onto me too? This observation ability is not a little bit better than the two treasure hunters on the Divine Sea Island.
I didn't expect to meet an opponent of this level. If I let him hide in the dark, he would suffer a lot even if he wouldn't capsize in the gutter.
Do you want to kill him now... The bright silver nanorobots flowed slowly under his skin, and the electric shock gloves emerged quietly.
Um? Wait a minute, this sense of déjà vu, could that person be...
