When Tang Ze learned that Tokubi Rokuro was going to visit the grave, he felt that this was related to the subsequent case and naturally had no reason to refuse.
After he agreed, he asked Koshimizu Nanatsuki to contact Mori Kogoro to explain the situation. Then the two cars stopped on the road under the leadership of Tokubi Rokuro.
Following Tokubi Rokuro all the way to Mori Ling, everyone learned from him who he was about to worship.
"Are you saying that there was a child nearby who was swept away by the water and drowned?" Maori Kogoro couldn't help but ask after hearing this: "Can you tell me more about the situation?"
"Ah..." Tokubi Rokuro sighed. "The person who drowned that year was a boy named Numayama Tatsuhiko. I heard he was swept into a reservoir downstream."
"So, isn't this the murder case 11 years ago that person mentioned!?" Xiaolan said with a look of horror on her face.
"But that wasn't a murder; it was an accident."
Tokubi Rokuro sighed and said, "That child was playing in the river when it rained heavily, but unfortunately he was washed away.
But that was more than ten years ago..."
As Tokubei Rokuro was speaking, his eyes suddenly lit up. When he saw someone by the stream, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Ah! Tokubi-sensei!"
Before Tokubi Rokuro could react, the young man who was paying homage to a simple grave on the river bank shouted in surprise.
"Huh? Isn't this Araiwa Ichiki-kun?"
When Tokubi Rokuro saw the man in front of him wearing a yellow jacket, with a round, chubby face and a big nose, he recognized him immediately.
He quickly approached the other person and asked, "Are you here to visit the graves as well?"
"Yes, that's right." Huangyan waved his hands together, closed his eyes, and worshiped in front of the grave: "After all, today is the anniversary of Tatsuhiko's death."
"But isn't this tomb a little too simple?" Maori Kogoro couldn't help but wonder as he looked at the tombstone that Araiwa was worshipping.
It’s no wonder that Kogoro Mori was surprised. After all, this tomb was made up of four stones stacked on top of each other.
The stone at the bottom is the largest, and the stones above it are smaller, forming a simple tombstone.
"No, actually Tatsuhiko's real tomb is somewhere else." Tokubi Rokuro waved his hand after hearing this.
"This tomb was built by Tatsuhiko's classmates when he passed away."
Huang Yan waved his hand and looked at the tombstone and said, "Although there are no remains inside, there are commemorative items that Chen Yan used during his lifetime.
Of course, I have also visited his real grave and paid my respects there."
"But why build a tombstone here?" Nanatsuki Koshimizu looked towards the nearby river. "Could it be..."
"That's right, he was swept away by the river behind me and drowned." Huang Yan waved his hand, looking at the gentle stream behind him with some melancholy. "And that was exactly eleven years ago today."
"Eleven years ago!?"
When everyone heard each other's words, their expressions changed and they subconsciously thought of the contents of the letter.
"So, the murder case mentioned in the letter sent to my father and Detective Tang Ze..." Xiaolan said hesitantly.
"Letter?" Tokubi Rokuro looked surprised. "What is that?"
"The commission we came here for is that someone sent us a letter." Tang Ze answered simply.
"Brother, how did you know that Tatsuhiko was washed away by this river?" Conan asked curiously, "Wasn't the child found in the reservoir downstream?"
"Because we found his shoes here."
Huangyan replied with a wave of his hand, "Tatsuhiko's shoes were caught in the cracks of the rocks at the bottom of the river. I guess Tatsuhiko accidentally got his foot caught while playing in the river.
Then, when his body was unable to move, the rain became heavier and heavier, and he was finally swept away by the rapids.
This is what Gunma County's criminal investigation found after the scene.
in conclusion. "
"Hmm...but playing in the river in November?" Maori Kogoro rubbed his chin and pondered. "Doing something like this at this time of year is a bit strange, isn't it?"
"It's a bit strange indeed." Tokubi Rokuro put his left hand on his waist and looked at Araiwa and asked, "By the way, where were Tatsuhiko's shoes found?"
"I think it's on the protruding rock opposite."
Huang Yan took two steps and found a small stone path that was higher than the sleeping area. He said, "I think it should be around here."
"Excuse me, where are Tatsuhiko's shoes now?" Conan asked in a loud voice.
"We buried him in that grave." Huang Yan replied with a wave of his hand.
"If we dig down, we should be able to find it." Tokubei Rokuro just agreed with this, and his right foot seemed to have not been firmly planted and slipped and fell into the water.
The next moment his body began to lose balance.
When people are shaking, they will subconsciously want to grab the things around them, but there is only Huang Yan by his side.
Although Huangyan Yihua was very strong, it was a disadvantage for him to stand on the stone with a small foothold next to the stream.
The next moment, with two screams, they fell straight into the water.
"Hello!"
"Are you all okay?"
Seeing the two people fall into the water, everyone on the shore was shocked and immediately ran to the river bank.
"It's okay."
Seeing everyone rushing over, Huang Yan waved his hand and spoke in the water to stop everyone from approaching.
"The water around here is very shallow, it's okay." Tokubi Rokuro followed up with an explanation.
