And now, the kicked-apart stones were stacked on top of each other again in descending order to form a tombstone.
"No way!" Xiaolan looked at the place where Tang Ze's light was shining and said in panic: "How could it be, the tombstone has really been repaired!
Is it a kappa!? Or is it Tatsuhiko-kun's ghost!? "
I have to say that seeing the damaged tombstone become intact again was quite a shock to the timid Xiaolan.
But think about it, after all, someone has died by this river, and someone else said in the hotel before that it was a kappa who killed Tatsuhiko Numayama.
Then you return to the river in the dark to look for your phone, but suddenly you see that the scattered tombstones have been restored.
This sense of déjà vu at the beginning of a horror movie instantly made Xiaolan feel scared.
As for the other three...
There was only subconscious contemplation on their faces, without any fear. If there was a ghost, they might even be more excited.
"I guess someone close to Tatsuhiko saw it and fixed the tombstone."
Conan looked at the frightened Xiaolan and smiled and comforted her: "It's okay, Xiaolan, we are all here. Let's find your phone quickly."
"Oh, yes." When Xiaolan heard Conan's words, she woke up from her fear and began to look around, trying to recall where she was standing during the day.
"Conan and Koshimizu, you two go over there and take a look. If you're scared, Xiaolan, come with me."
Because it was related to his own plan, Tang Ze took the lead in speaking up and took command and divided the team into groups after he started looking for his cell phone.
As for the direction, it is divided according to Xiaolan's position during the day today.
Conan and his friends were destined to gain nothing, while Tangze and the others went to the side where Xiaolan stood during the day.
"Thank you very much, Detective Tang Ze." As expected, after hearing Tang Ze's arrangement, Xiaolan showed gratitude on her face.
Nanatsuki Koshimizu on the side had no objection to this decision. After all, since Xiaolan was so afraid of ghosts, it was natural for her to go with an adult male like Tozawa.
In Xiaolan's view, this was also Detective Tangze's care for her, but although she knew that this was the truth, she still couldn't help feeling jealous.
Every time this happened, he began to regret why he was not Kudo Arata.
First, Conan looks like an elementary school student.
Of course, he also knew that Tang Ze's arrangement was very reasonable, so he couldn't say anything else, and felt even more depressed.
"It's okay, I'll call your cell phone. If you're here, I'll find you soon."
Tang Ze smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. Even if there really is a Kappa, I will rush out and catch it immediately. That way, I will go down in history."
"Going down in history..."
Xiaolan smiled helplessly and said, "I don't really want to run into a Kappa, but with Detective Tang Ze here, I feel like I might actually be caught by you.
This is truly a contradictory mentality..."
"Ha ha."
Tang Ze smiled when he heard that, then waved his dialed phone and said, "Okay, I've already called. Look around carefully and listen to the ringtone."
"Yeah." Xiaolan had just nodded when the next moment, the sound of a phone ringing suddenly came from not far away from them.
“Ah, over here!”
Seeing the place on the ground suddenly light up, Xiaolan quickly approached and finally used the flashlight to lock onto the ringing phone on the ground.
Xiaolan happily picked up the phone and hung up the call from Tangze. Before she could thank Tangze next to her, she suddenly heard the sound of water splashing from the other side of the river.
That sound was not the natural sound of water splashing, but more like the sound of someone or some creature walking in the river.
"Crash..."
"Crash..."
"What's that sound..."
The sound of footsteps in the water made Xiaolan confused and she subconsciously raised her flashlight. The next moment, a black figure appeared on the other side of the river.
"ah!!"
The next moment, Xiaolan screamed loudly, and the one who screamed even faster than Xiaolan was Tangze!
When he heard the first footsteps in the water, he locked onto the source of the footsteps. In the next two steps, he used his excellent night vision ability to accurately lock onto the other party's position.
When Xiaolan started screaming, Tang Ze rushed to the shore at lightning speed, and then the mechanical watch in his hand instantly popped out a claw and rushed towards the black shadow on the opposite side of the river bank.
The next moment, the hook wrapped around the black shadow tightly for several circles, giving Tang Ze feedback on the strength and feel of the firm fixation.
“Waaaaaaa!!”
At the same time, panicked shouts and cries of pain from people falling down were heard from the other side of the river.
"What happened!?"
"Ran, are you okay?!"
The two people who rushed over immediately after hearing Xiaolan's scream came to the two of them and asked anxiously.
"It's a kappa!"
Xiaolan closed her eyes and pointed at the dark figure on the other side of the river. Her voice trembled as she said, "There's a kappa in the water!!"
Hearing the sound, Conan and Nanatsuki Koshimizu took out their flashlights and shone them towards the other side of the river where Xiaolan pointed. The next moment, when they saw the people on the other side of the river clearly, they were stunned.
"Kappa?" Nanatsuki Koshimizu asked in a strange tone.
"Xiaolan, open your eyes and see what it is." Conan also looked helpless.
Hearing the strange tone of the two people, Xiaolan quietly opened her eyes.
Under the illumination of several flashlights, Numayama Banzo, whom I had met twice before, was tied up tightly with black ropes and was lying on the other side of the river, struggling with all his might.
