On the dark river bank, the cool wind blew on everyone's body, constantly taking away the weight of their body.
Compared to the cold, Numayama Banzo's blunt words made Xiaolan even more difficult to cope with.
"I'm sorry, I've been afraid of these things since I was a child."
In the end, the kind-hearted Xiaolan gave Numayama Banzo a step, and the man stopped talking when he saw this.
If you really want to count, he had noticed them a long time ago, but he didn't say anything and didn't want to deal with them, which led to him scaring the girl in front of him.
"Leave."
After throwing down these words, Numayama Banzo planned to leave immediately.
"etc."
However, just as Numayama Banzo uttered two words abruptly and was about to leave, Tang Ze took the initiative to call him back: "Mr. Numayama, you haven't told me why you came here so late at night."
"Huh? Who do you think you are!?"
Upon hearing this, Numayama Banzo grumpily retorted, "Do I have to report everything I do to you?!"
"Actually, even if you don't tell us, we already know it."
Tang Ze shone the light from his watch onto the tombstone of his suggestion, and said calmly, as if repeating himself:
“There really is no kappa here, there is only a father who misses his son but doesn’t know how to express his feelings.
You were the one who placed that tombstone, right?"
Tang Ze's words made Numayama Banzo stunned, and then an emotion of shame and anger instantly appeared on his face. It was the subconscious reaction after having his secret exposed: "What's it to you!"
"Eh? Did Mr. Banzo repair that tombstone?"
Hearing Tang Ze's words, Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said: "So, the reason why Mr. Banzo appeared here..."
"I guess he regretted it after kicking it down, and then came back to fix it secretly by himself."
Conan's slightly "venomous" words exposed Numayama Banzo's last cover-up, making this man who didn't know how to express his feelings a little at a loss.
"Anyway, I'm going back!"
Numayama Banzo could no longer maintain his "grumpy brother" side, his face full of impatience: "You put me in the water, and how long are you going to make me stand here in the cold wind!"
"Ah, sorry, but I have one last question."
Hearing that the other party was about to leave, Tang Ze stopped him and said, "Well, although it may be a bit rude, when you destroyed the tombstone recently, did you dig up the things buried underneath?"
"Huh?! What do you mean by that!?" Numayama Banzo was shocked and angry when he heard this: "I have never done such a thing."
"Really?" Tang Ze touched his chin and pondered, "That's strange..."
"Did you find anything?" Conan, who had tied with Tang Ze before, couldn't help but ask after hearing Tang Ze's words.
He would not allow himself to be inferior to Tang Ze in insight, even if there was no case now, but not in daily life!
"Well, didn't Mr. Banzo kick over the tombstone during the day?" Tang Ze explained, "and I noticed the surrounding soil had been dug up."
"kindness?"
Upon hearing this, Numayama Banzo was shocked and angry, “You said someone dug up Tatsuhiko’s grave?
But this is just a simple tombstone built by his friends, and there's nothing inside. Who would bother to dig it up!?"
"Excuse me, is there anything placed in here?" Tang Ze looked at Numayama Banzo and asked.
"Only after Chen Yan's accident was his right shoe found stuck in a crack in the rocks at the bottom of the river."
Numayama Banzou looked desolate, as if he had aged a lot in an instant: "His friend buried the shoe in the ground as a cenotaph.
I really can’t imagine why anyone would dig up his things.”
"If you want to know, you can only confirm it yourself." Tang Ze said.
"This is the only way to prevent Tatsuhiko's tomb from being tampered with." Koshimizu Nanatsuki agreed considerately, and at the same time explained to Numayama Banzo why they did this.
After all, digging up the other person's son's grave to confirm it, although it is not real but simple, is also a very rude behavior. It is naturally better to seek the opinion of the other person's father when doing such a thing.
"Tampering..." Xiaolan seemed to be frightened by Nanatsuki's words. In an instant, she thought of many plots in the movie: "It can't be a curse or something..."
"It shouldn't be such a mysterious reason."
Seeing that Numayama Banzo did not refute or stop him, Tang Ze squatted in front of the simple tombstone, clasped his hands together, apologized, and then moved the stones on it to the side one by one.
"If there are signs of excavation."
When the last stone was removed, Nanatsuki Koshimizu said with a serious expression as he looked at the traces on the bottom edge of the stone that were different from the surrounding soil.
"But we still don't know who it is and why they did this." Conan echoed in a deep voice, holding up the flashlight.
"Let's try it first." Tang Ze didn't say much, and took two small shovels for planting flowers and plants from the toolbox in the car.
"Detective Tang Ze, do you usually carry these in your car?"
Looking at the small shovel being given to Nanatsuki Koshimizu, Xiaolan said with a strange expression on her face.
"It's a professional habit to always be prepared just in case." Tang Ze replied while wearing white gloves.
As he watched Tang Ze and the other man gradually digging up the soil, Numayama Banzo just watched without any intention of stopping them.
Obviously, the conversation between several people before had caused him to have doubts in his heart, and he wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly.
The two of them moved very quickly, or rather, Tang Ze's digging speed was very fast. His powerful arms seemed tireless as he dug out the soil shovel by shovel.
