"Kyogoku-san."
In the maple forest, there is an area slightly far away from the murder scene, but the situation there can still be observed.
Ye Gengyi met this humanoid beast.
"Teacher Ye, it turns out it's you..."
Kyogoku scratched his head with a silly smile on his face: "I was still surprised just now, who has such a strong sense of oppression."
You are the most extraordinary person. Every time we meet, I always have the idea of killing you while you are not an 'enemy'...
Ye Gengyi first slandered, then sorted out the existing clues, and finally asked directly:
"Since you're here, why don't you go find the garden, and what's going on with that tent?"
A few minutes ago, he guessed that the other party might be Kyogoku Majou. Instead of making the decision to rush to the tent to say hello, he directly took out his mobile phone and called the other party.
Although the ringing only lasted for less than 2 seconds before being picked up, the unknown group of people who were observing in the dark immediately turned into birds and beasts and fled away from the scene of the murder.
What a pity, I missed a great opportunity...
At that time, a certain shady professor surnamed Ye regretted that these sneaky guys could not hear the news and go to have a fight with Kyogoku.
"I...I...put up the tent because...uh..."
Speaking of this, Kyogoku's face turned red immediately, and he hesitated for a long time without being able to say a complete sentence.
(?_?)…I know, I know, it’s related to Yuanzi…
There is no way it seems that the "Test Project on the Eyesight of Humanoid Beasts" is 90% likely to fail.
Ye Gengyi rubbed his brows and stopped thinking about the matter. He turned around and said, "Let's go. There's a murder over there. Go take a look."
"no!"
Kyogoku was really anxious and quickly stopped in front of Ye Gengyi, "I can't go to see Sonoko yet!"
"...What's the reason?" Ye Geng's eyes widened.
"That... is... Mr. Ye, let me tell you, can you not tell Sonoko yet?" When Kyogoku said this, his expression seemed to be twitchy, but his arms raised flatly, Not even the slightest tremor.
If it were anyone else, they would definitely think it was a threat...
Ye Gengyi said with dead eyes: "If you don't say anything anymore, I will shout."
Kyogoku Makoto: "..."
Why does this sentence sound weird...
Immediately, without hesitation, he recounted the email that Yuanzi had sent to him, 'Meeting under the red maples in winter'.
"Then, I set up my tent and have been waiting here since last night."
... Starting last night, are you ready to wait until Christmas Eve?
Is there something not quite right?
The date Yuanzi wrote on the guestbook when he left a message for the deceased flashed through Ye Gengyi's mind, and then he took out his mobile phone to confirm again. Yes, today is October 15th.
So...tomorrow is December 24th?
Hmm...that's probably what happened, otherwise it's impossible for someone to be so stupid as to wait for more than 2 months from the mountain.
The "Test Project on the Eyesight of Humanoid Beasts" is back on the agenda.
It seems that after going back today, I need to prepare winter clothes.
Ye Geng was thinking multi-purposely and said at the same time: "Okay, then come on, I will help you keep it a secret."
"Thank you, Teacher Ye!"
Upon hearing this, Kyogoku's arms that were raised horizontally immediately dropped to his sides, and he bowed slightly towards Ye Gengyi and saluted.
"polite."
Ye Gengyi asked casually: "There was a murder over there. Did you see the murderer?"
"No."
Kyogoku shook his head, "I had been sleeping in the tent before. I woke up when I heard the footsteps of many people, and then I met you, Teacher Ye."
"That's it..."
Ye Gengyi reminded: "Since a murder has occurred, the police will definitely investigate nearby later. You should sort out your personal belongings in the tent and hide first. If you are regarded as a suspect, you will not be able to hide it from the garden." It’s all about you being here.”
"Yes, I'll take care of it now."
Kyogoku bowed again, turned around and ran toward the tent with a few long strides.
Ye Gengyi withdrew his eyes from the humanoid beast and returned to the scene of the murder.
Conan was loyally guarding here. After seeing his reasoning partner who had been missing for at least five or six minutes, he subconsciously blurted out:
"Brother Gengyi, where did you go just now?"
"there."
Ye Gengyi pointed in a direction that was more than ten degrees away from the real tent in Kyogoku: "There was a group of people who didn't know whether they were tourists or not. They dispersed immediately after noticing my approach."
Sure enough, what I felt just now was right!
But...Conan sweated.
Brother Geng Yi was too brave. There were at least a dozen people hiding in the darkness of the woods. If those people were really related to this murder, it would not be too dangerous.
A certain little goldfish detective complained, completely forgetting that after he touched the blood on the notepad, he acted impulsively and acted recklessly.
"Did you call the police?" Ye Gengyi changed the subject.
"Reported." Mao Lilan said.
"Let's stay here and wait until the police arrive."
After Ye Gengyi finished speaking, he also walked to the body, squatted down, looked for the 'medium', and observed and thought:
Both wounds were on the front of the torso, leaving no chance for the deceased to escape.
An acquaintance...or that loyal fan that we met in person.
The technique is very capable and there is no unnecessary trauma.
It's obvious that the murderer is proficient in this area of knowledge. Is he... a medical worker, a criminal police officer, a detective, or a reasoning expert?
...It could also be a murderer who has not yet been caught.
The murderer's occupation can be screened from other clues later. The current question is why there are wet soil residues on the corpse's fingernails and hands, but there are no similar traces nearby.
Several clues quickly emerged in Ye Gengyi's mind:
The person died here, and the traces of crawling were less than one meter. With this amount of bleeding, it was obviously impossible for the deceased to throw the notepad stained with his own blood ten meters away.
So it could only be that after the murderer took the things away, he chose to discard them there for some reason.
He stopped looking at the corpse, took the notepad from Conan who was standing next to him, and turned to the page where the deceased left his fingerprints, and saw that it read:
[April 1, Friday, 6 a.m., meet on the bus in front of the TV station, remember to prepare a lunch. 】
The fingerprints were on April 1st?
If I remember correctly, this should be the day Kaito announced that he would steal the Dark Star at the Rice Flower Exhibition Hall.
Of course, the current case must have nothing to do with that kid.
Ye Gengyi restrained his divergent thoughts.
He just used the first thought that came to his mind to make an intuitive judgment on the date of April 1st.
It obviously failed.
The reasons for the failure include but are not limited to today being October 15th.
Assume that you are killed in this forest, and the murderer happens to be Kuroba Kaito, and leave the message before his death as April 1st. Let alone Conan, even if Kudo Yusaku came, he would not be able to find out in this prompt. Real murderer.
Therefore, for me, April 1st was absolutely impossible to treat as a pre-death message for Kaito to kill me.
In other words, the environment in which the deceased died was this maple forest.
If April 1 is a death message, its hidden content cannot be a secret that is difficult to guess.
