With the help of Nanatsuki Koshimizu, the two of them soon dug up an iron box.
Tang Ze dug around with a shovel again, loosened the surrounding soil, and then reached out to take the box out.
When the lid of the iron box was opened, what came into everyone's sight under the flashlight was a dirty white shoe.
Just as Numayama Banzo said, it is the shoe for the right foot.
Looking at the pair of shoes, Numayama Banzo's face was full of sorrow. He opened his mouth but said nothing in the end.
"The shoes are still here..." Xiaolan said, looking at the relic in Tang Ze's hand, "But there are indeed traces of digging on the surface of the soil."
"So, someone dug this place up and then restored it exactly as it was." Koshimizu Nanatsuki rubbed his chin and pondered, "Who was it, and for what purpose..."
“Ah, it’s raining…”
Just as Conan was carefully looking at the dirty and slightly green shoes, he suddenly felt raindrops falling on the tip of his nose, and he subconsciously looked up at the sky.
In just a moment, the rain became heavier.
"Hurry up and get in the car. I'll be back after I finish fixing the tombstone." Tang Ze handed the car keys to Nanatsuki Koshimizu and urged, "I'll be there soon."
"I understand." Nanatsuki Koshimizu took the car keys and said to Numayama Banzo, "Let's go, Mr. Numayama. I'll leave this to Detective Karasawa."
"Hmm..." Numayama Banzo glanced at Tangze, his expression looked much better, and then he ran towards the car.
When Tang Ze saw them leave, he put the shoes in his hand into the iron box, but did not put it back into the pit. Instead, he put it aside, filled the pit with soil, and then restored the tombstone from large to small.
Afterwards, Tang Ze took the box and put it and the shovel back into the trunk, then opened the driver's door.
"Okay, let's go back now."
In the heavy rain, the car took the group back to Guangluo Hotel.
After arriving at the hotel, Numayama Banzo got out of the car and prepared to leave, but Tang Ze stopped him and said, "Mr. Numayama, please come over for dinner. I have something very important to tell you."
"Nothing has anything to do with me, right?" Numayama Banzo said with his impatient look again after returning to the hotel.
"It's about your son." Tang Ze said seriously, "It's very important, so please come."
"What on earth do you want to say!" Numayama Banzo heard what Tang Ze said and said with a bad face: "What are you going to do!"
"Please be sure to come." Tang Ze did not answer Numayama Banzo's question, but replied with this sentence again, and then walked into the hotel with everyone.
After asking the middle-aged front desk clerk at the hotel, everyone learned that dinner would not be served for about twenty minutes, so they all returned to their rooms to rest.
At 7 o'clock, everyone went downstairs, including the three people they met today, Tokubi Rokuro, Araiwa Isshi, and Nohira Bosuke, in addition to their group of five.
Guangluo Hotel is not particularly large, and the restaurant has long tables that can seat six people.
Tang Ze and his five companions sat together, while the other three sat at another table.
But even when dinner started, Numayama Banzo did not show up.
"It seems Mr. Numayama isn't planning on keeping the appointment." Nanatsuki Koshimizu looked around but couldn't see him. She couldn't help but ask, "Detective Karasawa, what are you going to do?"
Seeing this, Tang Ze smiled and said, "Then let's eat first. If he doesn't come later, I'll have to go and invite him in person."
Seeing that Tang Ze was calm, Nanatsuki Koshimizu shrugged his shoulders, knowing that he had his own plans, and began to concentrate on dealing with the dinner on the table.
Although they are just ordinary common dishes, because the village is close to the forest, you can still eat a lot of wild delicacies and wild vegetables.
"What are you talking about?" Maori Kogoro, who was sitting at the same table, looked confused. "What happened when you went to look for your phone?"
"Well, a lot of things happened. I was almost scared to death." Xiaolan whispered to her father beside her while eating, telling him about her experience of looking for her cell phone at night.
By the time Xiaolan finished speaking, dinner was almost over.
But just as the other three, Tokubi Rokuro, were about to leave, Tang Ze stopped them and said, "Please wait a moment, I have something important to tell you about Tatsuhiko."
"Tatsuhiko-kun?" Tokubi Rokuro asked with a puzzled look on his face, "I'm not sure what you're trying to say."
"Should I stay too?" Nohira Bosuke asked in surprise, "I don't seem to have any connection with that child?"
"It really has nothing to do with it, but it can solve the mystery of Kappa. If you are interested, Mr. Nohira, you can stay and listen." Tang Ze smiled when he heard this.
"Ahem...Interesting..." Nohirabosuke coughed twice, his face showing interest. "In that case, I'm all ears."
"Humph, I already told you there are no Kappa anymore, do you really want me to kick you out!?"
At this moment, Numayama Banzo walked into the restaurant and said with a cold face.
But Tang Ze didn't care about it at all. After all, since the other party didn't get angry like before, he knew that he was just talking and would not actually do anything.
"So, Detective Tang Ze, why did you call us together?"
Huang Yan, who was standing aside, saw that even his friend's father was invited. Combined with the other party's previous words and the information he had obtained when they were together before, he couldn't help but become concerned about the topic the other party was going to talk about.
