"We meet again! Detective Tang Ze!"
Yamamura Cao looked at Tang Ze with excitement and said, "Is this the fate of a "famous criminal"?
Every time I see Detective Tang Ze, it's at the crime scene!"
"Even though I know he didn't mean that, I still feel like I'm being called the 'God of Death'."
Tang Ze glanced at Conan beside him, and after putting all the blame on him, he said calmly: "We just happened to run into each other while we were out for fun. We can talk later. Let's focus on the case at hand."
"Yes, right, business is more important."
Shancun Cao nodded repeatedly and then asked, "Does anyone of you know the deceased?"
"I don't know him." Xiaolan shook her head and said, "Today is the first time we met. He asked us to leave a message for him at the Red Tree Inn in front of the station when we go down the mountain."
"After we came back here, my brother-in-law found the notebook and didn't let us get close to it anymore," Sonoko continued to compensate.
"Message? What message is it?" Yamamura Cao continued to ask after hearing what the two said.
"The deceased said he was the AD for the film 'Winter Maple Red'..."
"Ah! I know what the winter maple leaves say!"
Before Tang Ze could finish his words, Yamamura Cao interrupted him excitedly: "The TV series version has been rebroadcasted on our Gunma TV station!
In order not to be late, I even brought a small mobile TV with me, planning to secretly start watching it as soon as I have free time!
Actually, I have already made an appointment for the recording, but I just can’t wait...”
All right...
Looking at Shancun Cao who got excited when talking about "red maple leaves in winter", Tangze's mouth twitched involuntarily.
Xiaolan, who was standing by, was so confused that her eyes were all wide open, while Sonoko was speechless, secretly muttering in her heart that the other party was unreliable.
He had originally thought that Sonoko going to watch the movie twice was already exaggerated enough, but he didn't expect Yamamura Sou to be even more exaggerated than Sonoko. Just hearing the name, he went off topic...
Tang Ze coughed lightly and reminded: "We are at work, Shancun Detective, you still have to pay attention..."
“Ah! That’s right!!”
Only at this moment did Yamamura Cao remember that although Tang Ze in front of him looked young, he was already a police inspector. Although he was not a criminal from Gunma Prefecture, he was from the headquarters and his status was obviously higher. It was nothing wrong to say that he was his superior.
Thinking about the fact that he had just exposed his "slacking off plan", he felt guilty and quickly returned to the topic: "Then I wonder what the specific content of the message the deceased asked for?"
"He said a fan wanted to know the exact location of the maple tree with the red handkerchief tied to it at the Waijing live show. He had found the tree, so he asked us to leave a message at the hotel."
Tang Ze didn't hold on to the other party, but instead gave a brief overview of the situation.
"Is it that troublesome? Can't he just go and tell him himself?" Shancun Cao looked puzzled.
"He said he had lost his fan's phone number and couldn't contact her. He also said finding the right maple tree took a lot of energy, and that if he went down the mountain and then brought the fan back up, he wouldn't be able to handle the energy."
Hearing this, Tang Ze explained, "I guess this is partly why he came up to talk to us."
"Have you met that fan?" asked Yamamura Cao.
"No, Sonoko just left a message in the guestbook of that hotel." After Xiaolan finished speaking, Sonoko repeated the content of the message she had written and told it to Yamamura So.
"But why is it katakana?" After listening to Sonoko's description, Yamamura Soman asked in confusion.
"Maybe it's because he's used to writing in katakana."
Tang Ze held up the notebook in his hand and said, "I smelled blood on the way here, and the first thing I found was the deceased's notebook. There was also a name written in katakana on the cover.
As for where it fell, it was about 100 meters away from the crime scene. I saw blood on the notebook and followed the smell to find the deceased's body."
"Ohhhh, as expected of Detective Tang Ze, the name 'Hell's Pursuer' really lives up to its reputation!!"
After hearing Tang Ze's words, Shancun Cao's eyes lit up, and he said with some annoyance: "Damn it, I didn't even see this legendary scene, what a pity!!"
Hearing what Yamamura Cao said, Tang Ze's mouth twitched involuntarily, while Ayako on the side covered her mouth and laughed secretly. As for what she was laughing at, it was self-evident.
After regretting his decision, Yamamura Cao changed the subject directly to the main topic as if no one was around: "Did you find anything unusual in the notebook?"
"I checked it before you came. The record of April 1 in the notebook was smeared with blood from the deceased." Tang Ze said.
"April 1st?" Shancuncao stroked his chin and pondered: "Speaking of April 1st, it is undoubtedly April Fool's Day...
Is this a "death message"? But how should I interpret it..."
Shancuncao almost stuck his notebook to the notebook, but he just didn't understand. No matter how close he got to the notebook, he couldn't figure out what it meant.
"Mr. Yamamura, the time of the victim's death has been revealed. He died around 5:00 this evening."
Just as Shancun was scratching his head, the criminal standing beside him said, "After examining the body, we found that the victim was stabbed once in the abdomen and then stabbed a second time directly in the chest.
