"Hello..."

Kidd suddenly grabbed Conan by the collar and pulled him back:

"This is a forest. Who would come here for an outing so early in the morning?"

"Oh, why are you so timid!"

Breaking free from his arms, Conan said angrily:

"How can there be a ghost in broad daylight?"

“It’s not a question of whether it’s haunted or not…”

Swallowing his saliva, Kidd stretched out his hand nervously and pointed at the dark shadow leaning against the tree trunk not far ahead:

"Look at that person's movements, aren't they a little weird?"

The three of them looked at the black figure leaning against the tree trunk again. One of his shoulders was deeply slumped, and his arm hung limply by his side, as if half of his shoulder blade had been pulled out and was limp. His head was twisted, as if he was about to look back, but an ordinary person's neck could only be turned 90 degrees at most, but he turned it directly around, with his feet still moving forward.

Fortunately, Conan and Makoto Sakaki are staunch atheists. They are willing to fight for the great science, even if they are facing the Saiyan Kyogoku Makoto.

Bang!

Conan turned on the flashlight, and at Sakaki Makoto's eye signal, the two of them moved towards the shadow together.

“You…you…ouch!”

Kidd hesitated for a while, but finally stomped his feet, threw away the ice cream reluctantly, took out a few smoke bombs and chased after him.

Regardless of the monster, there are only four ways for the opponent to locate the enemy:

1: Vision

2. Smell

3. Hearing

4: Bat-like ultrasound

It just so happens that these four methods will be hindered by smoke bombs. If one is not enough, use two or three. As long as the opponent is not the Crimson King who can use "Time Delete", he will be hit.

Holding the smoke bomb, Kidd's confidence increased greatly.

Click...Click...

In the dim woods, the sound of dead leaves being trampled came from under their feet. Sakaki Makoto and the other two were getting closer and closer to the black shadow, but the other party seemed to be unaware and did not move.

Bang!

When he got closer, Conan suddenly raised his wrist, and the flashlight beam suddenly shone on the black shadow, revealing the rugged and rough brown skin and knife-like limbs.

"Oh shit!"

Seeing the true face of the black shadow, Kidd's anger rose immediately:

"What kind of bastard is carving a wooden man with a knife in the forest?!"

"Who are you trying to scare?"

What appeared before the three people was not a monster, but a protruding tree trunk carved by humans. The carving technique was not sophisticated enough, and from a distance, it looked no different from a strange and twisted person.

"Pooh!"

Kidd went forward and knocked on the wood, and found it was solid, which made him more certain that there was no mystery inside:

"Luckily it's daytime now, if it were night, wouldn't it be scary to death?!"

"I'm afraid the carver's idea was to scare off tourists."

Turning the flashlight beam, Conan pointed his head towards the depths of the woods. Kidd looked around blankly and was frightened by the scene in the woods!

There is more than one tree man. In the semi-dark forest, there are many wooden statues of various sizes. They have no faces, but the naturally grown vines are like poisonous snakes coiled around them, adding a touch of horror.

"This forest is very large, and the forest rangers came up with this trick to prevent the forest from being damaged by tourists."

Conan reasoned casually:

"The patterns on these wooden statues are quite old. They were quite ordinary at first, but as time went by, weeds and vines grew on them, so they looked weird."

"But isn't it also a way of destroying the forest when forest rangers use the protruding branches of large trees to carve?"

"That's better than having the forest full of garbage."

Sakaki Makoto put his cigarette butt into the iron box and waved the map in his hand:

"We are at the foot of the Hakone Mountains, which belong to the active volcanic zone. The famous tourist attraction Owakudani was formed by the eruption of the Hakone volcano 400,000 years ago. It is also called the Great Hell. But do you know what opportunities volcanic eruptions usually bring?"

With a raised eyebrow, Kidd seemed to understand:

"diamond?"

"That's right."

Sakaki Makoto nodded:

"The diamonds that can be dug up on the surface now are basically formed in the mantle, about 150-250 kilometers from the surface. Like jade, they are naturally formed by the metamorphosis of stones after long-term high pressure. They appear on the ground with the eruption of kimberlite and potassium-magnesium lamprophyre. Just ask..."

"How powerful is a volcanic eruption that can directly change the terrain and form a landscape like Owakudani?"

"That must be a scene of devastation."

"So, the young woman we met on the cable car asked about the whereabouts of the treasure. The possibility of Tokugawa Ieyasu's secret treasure buried in the Hakone Mountains is not high, but the probability of diamonds is very high. You should all know the price of diamonds."

"this...."

Scratching his head, Kidd was completely speechless:

"Isn't this the same thing as the gold rush that started in the United States in the 18th century? Are there really people going to scenic spots to dig for treasure?"

"You are wrong."

Conan interrupted Kidd:

"Throughout history, treasures have mostly been buried in places with natural dangers. If you were Tokugawa Ieyasu and wanted to hide dozens of boxes of gold leaves, would you dig a hole under a tree in front of your house, or look for a dangerous shoal that no one could cross?"

Kidd was speechless.

Conan is right. Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows, let alone a daimyo who rules a region?

With the development of science and technology, the natural dangers and places that were rarely visited by people in the eyes of the ancients have become tourist attractions one by one. The more natural wonders there are, the more they will be sought after by people. Let's change our thinking...

Maybe there are some blindingly large diamonds buried under their feet!

"Hello!"

While Kid was in a daze, Sakaki Makoto and Conan had already walked a long way:

"Are you coming or not? Do you want a shovel? A Luoyang shovel will do!"

“Here it comes…”

Kidd quickly chased after him and complained:

"You guys, everything else is good, but your vision is too small. Am I the kind of person who does things myself?"

"If there's any treasure, wait until others dig it out, and then I can steal it and observe and play with it, right?"

"Why bother putting in the effort yourself!"

Kidd, who was very satisfied with his choice, put the smoke bomb in his pocket, held his head high, and looked as proud as a donkey without its reins.

Treasure hunting?

Doesn't exist!

If you have nothing to do, just go to Suzuki's house and take a look around. You can find everything there!

He is not a blind bear who picks up sesame seeds and misses watermelons. He is not going to leave the Suzuki family's gold mountain alone and just run to dig the soil with a shovel...

Don’t even think about what his real job is!

People who are willing to work hard will not become thieves!

Seeing Kidd's smug look...

Sakaki Makoto and Conan clenched their fists.

"Shh!"

Suddenly, Conan paused and his face suddenly became serious. He had been chatting and didn't pay attention to the location of Baihui Takenaka. Unconsciously...

"We are very close to her!"
