Tang Ze: Detectives can only follow the culprit's footsteps to catch them, but I can rely on knowledge to foresee the future and prevent cases!
Conan: It seems I need to go to Hawaii for ...
Seeing the marks on the corner of the table, Nanatsuki Koshimizu immediately realized what the problem was.
"Well, let's move this table and take a look. Since someone has been here and specifically looked here, maybe there's something hidden underneath."
Tang Ze's words made Koshimizu Nanatsuki nod, and the two of them took one side and worked together to move the low table to the side.
After lifting the carpet, the two of them lifted the tatami on the ground.
"I now believe there's something hidden down there."
Nanatsuki Koshimizu looked at the scattered soil under the tatami and the flat soil around it, and she knew that someone had probably dug up the ground and then buried it again.
"I guess there's something hidden underneath. Go ask the administrator to borrow a shovel." Tang Ze said.
"good."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki nodded and walked outside, and soon brought back two shovels.
"One is enough." Tang Ze looked at Nanatsuki Koshimizu who was also holding a shovel and was about to help, and stopped her.
"Two people can also be faster." Koshimizu Nanatsuki smiled and said, "You will be the main force and I will provide support."
"Okay, let's start digging." Tang Ze said no more after hearing that. He picked up the shovel and started digging.
After a while, the two of them dug half a meter, and then they heard a "bang" sound as if the shovel hit the plastic.
After clearing the soil and taking a look, the two men discovered that there was a suitcase inside.
But after getting the suitcase up and opening it, they found it was empty.
"It seems the person who came in yesterday took the things out of the box." Tang Ze activated his super sense of smell and sniffed: "It smells like ink. I'm afraid it was filled with banknotes before."
"But why don't you just take the suitcase with you?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked doubtfully, "Wouldn't it be more convenient to take it that way?"
"There are several possibilities."
Tang Ze pondered and said, "One possibility is that the other party felt that the suitcase was too dirty and conspicuous after being buried in the ground, so they wanted to replace it with a new one.
The second is to change to something more discreet, like a backpack."
At this point, Tang Ze looked at the surveillance footage on his notebook, paused, and said, "There is one last possibility. That is, the person who buried the things used this box as a tool to confuse future searchers and left it here on purpose.
He wants us to find this empty box and think that we are too late and the things have been taken away, thus covering up the things hidden underneath."
