Although he looked confused, Yamamura Cao still handed over the car keys and watched Tang Ze take Conan away.
As for the Suzuki sisters, Xiaolan and others, he also told the three of them to be careful and not to leave the side of Yamamura Cao and other criminals until he came back.
Of course, he also told Shancun Cao about this. Although this guy is unreliable, he can still act as a bodyguard with his men.
With Xiaolan present and so many criminals around, there was definitely no problem with safety, so Tang Ze left with peace of mind.
After asking everyone to wait for news from the two of them in the hotel lobby, Tang Ze drove Conan all the way up the mountain on the grounds that Conan had a good memory and could help find road signs.
However, when they reached the maple forest, they got out of the car and hiked up the mountain with flashlights.
After all, the two of them came to find the marked maple trees, so it was naturally impossible for them to drive up the mountain in a "rush" manner. They could only confirm it bit by bit.
However, this is a troublesome project. After all, it is pitch black on the mountain and the only light source you can rely on is the flashlight in your hand.
Fortunately, Conan's memory is absolutely extraordinary. After a while of traveling, he quickly found a familiar route.
"I remember walking along the road here." Conan walked forward, and Tang Ze followed with tools. The two soon came under a maple tree.
“This is it.”
Conan shone the flashlight upwards and saw a red handkerchief tied to a branch. He quickly determined based on the location that this was the tree where Sonoko mistakenly thought the handkerchief had floated that morning.
This is also the reason why Tang Ze brought Conan with him. After all, the other party climbed up the tree and saw the location of the red handkerchief. No one could be more sure of the location of the maple tree than him.
"Get out of the way."
Holding a small shovel borrowed from the hotel to tend the garden, Tang Ze squatted down and dug under the tree with the shovel.
As soon as the shovel touched the ground, Tang Ze quickly discovered something was wrong.
"It's very soft. It looks like the soil was dug up and then filled in." Tang Ze told Conan about his discovery.
"Sure enough, the Mr. 'AD' we met this morning dug the ground before meeting the murderer." Conan said with a serious expression while turning on the light for Tang Ze.
Tang Ze didn't say anything else, but dug down little by little. Soon, under the light of the flashlight, a sharp white color appeared under the soil.
Tang Ze put down the shovel, and dug the soil with his hands wearing white gloves, revealing something buried in the soil.
The bones and pale head were covered with dirt, and the black eye sockets were facing the two people outside the pit, as if silently telling the misery of his life.
"What should we do now?" Conan looked at Tang Ze and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"What about you? You've already got an idea, right?" Tang Ze's nose twitched slightly, and then he smiled calmly and said, "I just don't know if you and I are thinking of the same method."
"In this situation, we have no other evidence, so this is the only way."
Conan and Tang Ze looked at each other and took out their cell phones at the same time.
"Come on." Tang Ze smiled and dialed Yuanzi's number: "It would be more convenient if you ask for me."
"That's right." Conan nodded, picked up the call, and began to explain the situation.
"Is it Conan? Did your brother-in-law ask you to ask me something?"
“Ah, you mean the maple tree where I thought my handkerchief fell.
The tree is in the distance in the woods near the rocks in the last scene.
If you want to walk, it’s about 10 minutes away.”
Sonoko answered Conan's questions truthfully.
"I understand. Thank you, Sonoko-sister."
After Conan heard the other party say what he wanted to convey under his guidance, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Speaking of which, Sister Sonoko, are you really not going to consider the tree from before?
I remember there was a red handkerchief tied to that tree, and the overall numerical situation looked pretty good, maybe it appeared in a movie or TV series."
"You're stupid! That handkerchief tied to the tree must be a fan's creation!"
After hearing what Conan said, Sonoko said unhappily, "The only maple tree that appeared in the play was the one growing next to the rock.
If two or three of those trees appeared at once, it would be confusing!"
"Haha... That's right..."
Although he wanted to further lure Sonoko to reveal the information to increase the temptation of the "bait", but after being despised by the other party, he could only smile awkwardly, and then hung up the phone after saying a few perfunctory words.
"You bastard, how dare you hang up on me!"
Yuanzi was still chattering and mocking, but the phone suddenly rang busy. She closed the phone unhappily: "Next time, let him learn his lesson!"
"Okay, well, maybe he went to help Detective Tang Ze find clues!" Xiaolan was comforting the angry Sonoko.
She didn't know why, but she and Conan just didn't get along. She was always unhappy with Conan, so she had no choice but to act as a mediator and comfort her best friend.
"So, Detective Tang Ze is probably close to finding a clue?"
Shancuncao, who was standing by, naturally also heard the content of the call and said with some excitement: "That's amazing! You are worthy of being Detective Tangze!"
"Hehe, isn't that only natural?" Yuanzi said proudly, "Since my brother-in-law has already taken action, the case is naturally no longer suspenseful!"
"What a pity, Detective Tang Ze didn't bring me with him!"
