Here, Conan's attention was completely focused on the case, and he did not notice Ye Gengyi and Kyogoku Makoto peeking at him from behind.
He took out his mobile phone and called Dr. Ari, asking him to come to the trailhead where the TV series "Red Maple in Winter" was filmed as soon as possible, and to quickly solve this murder case.
The top priority right now is to lure the real culprit over. Since the other party cares so much about the skeleton, it should be easy to take the bait.
Conan squatted down and covered the bones with soil and scattered branches and leaves again, thought for a moment, and then called Mao Lilan.
The situation on the mountain is still a bit unclear, and the other party is a murderer with clean and neat techniques.
Xiaolan must have discovered that she was not in the hotel, and they must not be allowed to take risks.
"Hello? Conan, where have you been?"
The phone was connected, and Mao Lilan's anxious inquiry came from the speaker: "I've been looking for you for a long time, and... is Brother Gengyi with you?"
Brother Geng?
Conan was confused, "No? Isn't he at the hotel?"
"I heard from the police officer that he saw Brother Gengyi answer a phone call and then go outside." Mao Lilan said.
What?
Conan was shocked.
Combined with the corpse under the maple tree, several possibilities suddenly appeared in his mind, and they were quickly suppressed by him.
Calm down, calm down... don't let your imagination run wild, let's solve the current case first.
Conan took a deep breath, and before Mao Lilan made another request to go back, he came up with the excuse he had prepared in advance and said at a very fast speed:
"I received a call from the doctor before. He happens to be in Gunma County. I'm going to go with him to pick out some gifts for Yuanta and the others. Sister Xiaolan, you don't have to worry about me."
"The doctor is also here in Qunma?" Mao Lilan was stunned.
"Yes, by the way, Sister Xiaolan..."
Conan responded and immediately changed the subject, "Are the three guests who just stayed at that hotel this morning still at the front desk?"
"Well, Mr. Okuma Isamu, Mr. Watanuki Tatsuzo, and Hans Berkeley are all here."
Mao Lilan lowered her voice and said, "However, because Mr. Okuma Isamu has been making a lot of noise, many tourists have called the front desk to complain, so the Yamacun Police Department is planning to come to the store early tomorrow morning to find out the situation from them."
That guy named Isamu Okuma really likes to cause trouble. Fortunately, I called in time...
Conan's thoughts were spinning, thinking about how he could pass on the information about the location of the buried bones to the real murderer without compromising Xiaolan and Yuanzi. Suddenly, he had an idea:
"Sister Xiaolan, I have something to say to sister Yuanzi. Please give her your phone."
"Ah? Looking for Yuanzi..."
Although Mao Lilan was confused, she handed the phone to Suzuki Sonoko, who was holding a portable TV and looking forward to Kyogoku's real appearance.
"What's wrong? Little devil..." Suzuki Sonoko took the phone.
"Just... I want to ask, when we were hiking this afternoon, Sister Yuanzi, wasn't your handkerchief blown away by the wind?"
Conan paused for a moment and said with a very unsatisfied "hehe" smile: "Because I also talked about this matter when I was on the phone with the doctor before, and the two of us made a bet that you definitely don't remember where that location is, so..."
"Idiot! You brat! How could I not remember? I was desperately trying to get my handkerchief back!"
Suzuki Sonoko shouted angrily: "The maple tree with the handkerchief hanging on it is about 500 meters east of the rock in the last scene of the play."
"Really?"
Conan deliberately said in a teasing tone: "You can't remember it wrong, right? Because there is also a red handkerchief tied to that tree, so maybe the last scene of the movie and TV series was shot from there..."
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Suzuki Sonoko replied:
"The red handkerchief on that tree must have been tied by a movie fan! The only thing photographed in the TV series was the maple tree next to the rock. Otherwise, wouldn't it be easy for people to confuse that kind of tree once it enters the camera! You know what you are doing Zhong Xiaoguitou simply doesn’t understand anything related to love..."
Click.
Toot toot…
"Hello? Wait! What the hell is this brat doing? He hung up on me!"
Suzuki Sonoko became even more angry, and quickly dialed the number and called back, ready to scold the other party.
result……
"Damn it, that little devil has turned off his phone!"
"Eh? No... I still have something to ask him." Mao Lilan was also a little anxious.
On the side, Tatsuzo Watanuki started to observe this place when Suzuki Sonoko was shouted angrily by Conan.
"Is it about 500 meters east of the stone..."
A smile appeared on his face.
…
"Okay, next, just stay here and wait."
In order to avoid exposing the whereabouts of the mobile phone during an ambush.
Conan planned to use an anesthesia needle to put down Watanuki Chenzo, and then turn on the phone to contact the doctor and the police for the final finishing touches.
He muttered and turned around to climb the tree.
Suddenly, a subtle rustling sound suddenly entered my ears.
In a daze, from the corner of his eye, he saw something that seemed to be standing on the tree behind him.
"Um?!"
Conan was startled, blinked quickly, and looked over there but didn't find anything unusual.
Was it just...an illusion?
Or maybe it's an owl or something...
…
Ten seconds later.
Ye Gengyi and Kyogoku Makoto, who avoided Conan's sight, once again found a suitable position, watching from a distance a certain elementary school student who had climbed up the tree flexibly.
"Teacher Ye, I have always felt that Conan is a little different from other children..."
Kyogoku frowned, showing an expression of hard thinking, which made Ye Gengyi speechless for a while.
Do you still need to think about such an abnormal primary school student?
Of course, there is no need to explain this kind of thing.
Ye Gengyi simply took the attitude of believing it or not and casually said:
"Maybe it's because of your extraordinary talent, just like Kyogoku-san, your dedication to karate."
"So that's it." Kyogoku suddenly realized.
"Well, that's what happened..."
Ye Gengyi continued to be perfunctory, while in his mind he was calculating the number of nano-robots previously installed on several surrounding trees to see if they could complete the subsequent data recording work for Kyogoku.
The clue that the skeleton is buried within 500 meters east of the filming location of the TV series is a laborious task to find.
If nothing else happens, Watanuki Chenzo will definitely bring the members who are participating in the meeting together later.
When the nanorobot turns on the high-speed camera mode after leaving the body, the battery is estimated to only last about 30 seconds.
In order to avoid wasting the seats, it seems that they must be opened and used alternately, so plan it reasonably and effectively...
