"I found a skeleton under a maple tree about 500 meters east of the tent..."
Kyogoku really stated the situation in a very concise and effective way.
When Ye Gengyi heard these words, he immediately thought of the traces of soil on the fingers of the deceased.
Turns out I was looking for this...
While he was thinking about it, he withdrew his gaze from looking out the window to look for any trace of Kyogoku Makoto.
Last time when I went to Fukito Villa to make chocolate, this 'humanoid beast' did not dare to meet Sonoko, but was worried about her safety, so he lurked outside the window to peek.
Therefore, Ye Gengji simply doubted whether the other party might repeat the incident of being a couple but engaging in voyeurism after discovering the gangsters attending the meeting.
It seems that I have thought too much... Ye Gengyi asked:
"Are you still there?"
"Well, I'm on a tree nearby." Kyogoku replied without any concealment.
"Attention..." Ye Geng paused, "Forget it, it's nothing. I'll go find you and we'll tell you the rest."
It is better to avoid polite words like reminding the other party to pay attention to safety. With a humanoid beast lurking in the tree, it is the gang members who should be more careful when walking at night.
On the other side, Conan, who also guessed that April 1st refers to Watanuki Tatsuzo, took advantage of Ye Gengyi's phone call to sneak out of the hotel and ran towards the maple forest.
He was so anxious in his heart that he wished he could fly directly to the place where he climbed the tree in the afternoon.
"What a coincidence, isn't it?"
Conan murmured quietly, stringing together many clues in his mind.
When I saw the handkerchief on the tree, I felt a little strange.
Now that I think about it, I'm afraid the murderer might have buried something at that location. Just in case, he tied a red handkerchief on the branch to mark it for subsequent transfer.
The reason why the murderer chose red is also because the red handkerchief mixed with the maple leaves will not be too eye-catching. After all, before the TV series "Winter Maple Red" became popular, not many people would come to this forest to appreciate the maple leaves, let alone So many handkerchiefs were tied around the maple tree, imitating the final scene of the play.
Of course... the most important thing is that this time I actually found the key to solving the case faster than Brother Gengyi!
Thinking of this, Conan's lips unconsciously raised a smile, but he didn't know that just seven or eight meters behind him, a figure wearing black clothes and hiding his body as much as possible in the environment had already moved. Several times I thought about whether to knock this kid unconscious.
Ye Gengyi weighed the pros and cons, but in the end did not take action.
Since the 'thing' that Wan Guanchen tried every possible means to take away was the skeleton, the eighth achievement had nothing to do with the medium.
It would be better to find an opportunity to beat this boy who cares about food but not about beating.
…
We walked for about ten minutes.
As the light dims, the colors of the surrounding trees become darker and darker. The dark night makes the originally fiery red maple trees appear strangely inky.
Ye Gengyi followed Conan's footsteps and had no intention of saying hello to the little detective.
Kyogoku was waiting near the burial ground. It was hard for him to call himself teacher, but he would not appear with the little detective and rashly break the agreement.
After all, with a single-minded character like a humanoid beast, sometimes it is really difficult to change the impression with words.
Since we will inevitably have to deal with you in the future, it is also a good choice to at least let the other party listen to you to some extent.
Ye Gengyi thought and walked for a short distance.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a bright light flickering on a tree about 10 meters away at the 3 o'clock direction.
He looked sideways and saw a dark silhouette squatting on the tree trunk, and the bright light before was the other party's mobile phone.
Good guy, as expected, black skin has a natural advantage in dark environments...
As soon as Ye Geng thought about bringing Hattori Heiji into the same position, he immediately frowned.
It's very dangerous. If the specialties of these two people are combined and we are in a dark environment, even I need to maintain a high degree of vigilance to avoid capsizing in the gutter.
The wind was blowing.
Amidst the rustling sound, Ye Geng jumped up and climbed up the tree.
"Teacher Ye." Kyogoku Zhen jumped over and greeted in a low voice.
"Yeah." Ye Gengyi responded.
Then, both of them turned to look at a little detective who was digging soil under the maple tree.
"Why is this child here?"
Kyogoku asked in confusion, as if he had thought of something, his face showed a bit of embarrassment and nervousness, and he quickly looked around to find a certain figure with a hairpin on her head.
"Calm down, Yuanzi didn't come with you. If you don't want to be exposed, just move more gently and don't get discovered by that child." Ye Gengyi reminded him loudly.
"Huh? Oh..." Kyogoku came to his senses and immediately adjusted his breathing rhythm.
Ye Geng paused for a moment and waited until a breeze blew the maple leaves, then continued to ask:
"How did you find the skeleton?"
"Shortly after you left, many people with shovels and shovels came here. They probably wanted to dig something, but they left quickly after seeing the police..."
Kyogoku paused, and also explained in a low voice in tune with the sound of the wind: "Then I was wandering around a nearby tree, and happened to see the handkerchief. I noticed that the soil next to the root of the tree was a little soft, and I didn't notice that there were bones underneath. It’s too convenient to contact the police, so I called Teacher Ye.”
"That's it..."
Ye Gengyi murmured in a low voice.
Now even the context of the case is clear.
Presumably, the deceased became suspicious after finding the maple tree, so he dug up the roots of the tree and discovered the bones buried underneath.
He became greedy and prepared to use this as a threat to blackmail Watanuki Chenzo for more money in return. However, he did not expect that what the other party cared about was never the money, but how he could hide the secret that he had killed people.
In the end, he ended up being silenced.
The reason why this unidentified skeleton is still here is probably because Watanuki Tatsumi was impulsive and thought that the place where the two met was the area where the corpse was buried. After rashly killing the other party, he was not nearby. Find what you want.
As a last resort, he quickly returned to the hotel to deal with the police while arranging for the gang to continue searching on the mountain.
Heh... I'm afraid the little detective doesn't know the information about the Mu Guanhui, so he dared to ask Dadi to come out to look for clues alone.
In this case, let him handle the case.
With Kyogoku Makoto on my side, I couldn't miss the opportunity to collect data on this 'humanoid beast'.
