The village looks a bit shabby, and if people don’t go out, it would probably look like a desolate village.
But today it seemed that they were looking for the village chief, so all the elderly people in the village as well as a few middle-aged and young people came out.
So the originally quiet village suddenly became lively. This was also when Yuanzi began to see so many people in the village from a distance and mistakenly thought that the village was holding some festival activities.
"Village Chief Tetsuya!!"
"village head!!"
The calls became louder as the car drove into the village, and the sound was like a cat toy, constantly attracting the curiosity of the detectives in the car.
"It's still early, why don't we go down and ask what's going on?" Sera Masumi was the first to speak. "Maybe we can find some clues to help them find the person."
"Yeah, I agree." Conan echoed, "Their village is lost, and I think the villagers are very anxious."
"Why don't we stop by the village to rest?"
Hearing this, Yuanzi smiled and suggested, "If you're delayed for too long, just stay here. The scenery here is quite nice."
"That's what a prosperous village will inevitably go through." Xiaolan sighed when she heard that.
"Speaking of which, old man, there don't seem to be many people in their village."
Conan looked around and saw that there were two old men nearby who seemed to be tired of searching and were standing there to rest, so he led his men over.
"Look~" Sera Makoto looked into the window with mischievous curiosity. The moment before, he was shocked by the scene outside: "Wow, there really is something weird outside!"
"The scenery of that village is unique and it is indeed worth staying for a while. Let's take a walk around it before dinner. If you find anything else, you can leave immediately." Conan said.
"You are tourists coming there." Pompey looked at the woman and asked, "Excuse me, is he a villager of that village?"
The old man with glasses agreed with a gloomy expression, then looked at everyone and said, "Oh no, oh no, let's stop talking about that for now. You should continue looking for people, and they should leave as soon as possible."
Conan took a look and felt that it was a farm stay in his hometown. The others also thought that eating there was quite fresh. In addition, there was only one such place to stay nearby, so they decided to eat there.
"Yes, it is said that he must have disappeared just like your old lady said." The old man with glasses said with a frightened expression.
"After a long time, disappearances of spirits began to occur frequently in that village..."
"See~" Yuanzi looked at Dalan complacently, with an expression that said you were very short-sighted: "If we weren't here, there would be no need to be afraid~"
"That's bad, that's bad." Seeing the woman's face full of anger, Sonoko raised his hands as if to surrender.
The woman explained, “The masks he saw were collected by the village over the past few hundred years, and in ancient times, these people might not have been hidden.
First of all, the village chief seems to have some conflicts with the villagers, and secondly, he is quite superstitious.
The old man with all his hair falling out looked at everyone and said, "I'm sorry, your village is rather desolate. Is there anything worth visiting?
"That's true." Dalan nodded when she heard that, accepting Yuanzi's plan.
After all, the ancients were ignorant and believed that as long as a person disappeared, no matter what happened, they would regard it as a disappearance of the spirit.
In this way, we pray to the gods to allow these people who have disappeared to return safely..."
"That shrine looks really spooky."
"Yeah." The woman with the bowl-cut hair nodded with expression, but she had no intention of introducing herself.
Besides, I am a criminal now. Even if it happens in my own jurisdiction, I might turn a blind eye if no one is missing.
It was the conversation between the two old men that gave Conan some information.
It is true that it is a good idea to eat the local cuisine of the village often. In addition, the ingredients are fresh and the whole family is very satisfied after tasting them.
"That shrine was built when the village existed, so it must be hundreds of years old."
"That look is indeed not so sinister anymore." Da Lan couldn't help but say.
So everyone decided to go to the shrine to pay their respects first, then find a place to eat and discuss the next itinerary.
Although the old man said that there was no place to entertain people, it was actually just a compliment. Soon, everyone came to the yard of a middle-aged couple following the introduction of passers-by.
Of course, there are too many clues now, and Conan also has a way to tell whether the village chief was killed or ran away.
The woman with the bowl-cut hair nodded and said, "If someone disappears, the villagers will make a mask in the image of the missing person and enshrine it in the shrine.
When everyone turned around, they found that it was an older woman with a bowl-cut haircut, and she was holding a white mask in her hand.
Because it was still vacation, Yuanzi was not worried about going to school the next day, so when she arrived at a new place, the first thing she thought about was sightseeing.
And they all saw it, your village chief has found it, so I'm afraid no one can accommodate them."
After saying this, the two old men walked towards the back together, and it seemed that they were still planning to continue searching for the missing village chief.
I, the village chief, am the first in all those years..."
Before everyone reached an agreement, Conan found an open and convenient place to park his car.
According to the introduction, the other party has the worst craftsmanship in that distant place and also receives guests from the north and south.
"Wow, this feels really creepy..." Before going down to the platform, Sonoko couldn't help but shiver.
