That's what criminal investigation cases are like.
If a possibility cannot be completely ruled out, an investigation must be conducted.
Since we could not completely rule out the possibility that an insider committed the crime at that time, we naturally had to investigate whether an outsider had entered and committed the crime.
If there is a need to investigate suspicious outsiders, it is normal to know the whereabouts of Gin and the others.
Of course, these are all based on his own imagination, and Tang Ze will not give Conan a real answer.
He just needs to use this vague hint to induce Conan to think in this direction.
Just keep it vague and if anything goes wrong later, you can use other excuses to cover up the lie.
For example, if there are no cameras around the Twin Towers skyscrapers, and Conan happens to find them, he can put the blame on the carpet search personnel.
This may make it impossible to continue verifying.
However, if Conan doesn't want to pursue the matter any further, there's no need to make things so final.
It was just a habit of keeping billions of dollars in hand for insurance, which was Tang Ze's daily basic operation.
Although these backup plans are often useless, and Tang Ze is fighting a battle of wits and courage with the "air", if they can be used, they are definitely crucial insurance.
After thinking about it, Conan roughly understood the ins and outs of Tangze's discovery of Gin, and at the same time he was worried about the series of actions taken by Tangze.
After all, it's like walking on a tightrope. If there's even a slight mistake, the consequences could be disastrous.
Not only that, even if the plan succeeded, it would be followed by crazy retaliation from the Black Organization. Tang Ze actually succeeded in carrying out such a dangerous plan.
This made Conan wonder in amazement.
Even if Tang Ze did not describe it in such detail, just a few words may be enough to give people an idea of the thrill of it.
"Okay, that's all I have to say. Go back and find time to think about it."
Tang Ze looked at Conan who was lost in thought again and waved his hand in front of him to draw his attention back: "Let's get out quickly too. I guess Genta and the others will be back soon."
"Ah... okay." After coming back to his senses, Conan nodded, and walked out of the tent one after another with Tang Ze.
"Are you done talking?" Huiyuan, who was watching outside, chuckled when he saw the two of them. "That was just in time, otherwise I would have had to go in and look for you."
Upon hearing this, the two looked into the distance, where the three little ones were walking towards the camp, talking and laughing all the way.
"Come on, let's go help too."
Seeing that the important matters were almost dealt with, Tang Ze also planned to start solving this case.
As for how to trigger the case, the natural way is to find the three little ones.
As soon as they arrived at the center of the camp, the three little ones who had put down the branches ran over excitedly.
"Listen to me! Listen to me! When we were collecting wood earlier, we came across a strange stone box."
Seeing a few people coming, Ayumi couldn't wait to share with them what she saw and heard when picking up branches.
"It's a square box with a round hole on each side, but it's made of wood." Yuan Tai described the appearance of the stone box without wanting to be left behind.
"When we looked into the hole, we found a lot of Chinese characters carved into the inside of the box."
Mitsuhiko recalled this and said, "It seems to be something like 'The Time of Niou'... But since the whole thing is written in Chinese characters, I can't really understand it..."
"Stone box? Chinese characters?"
Conan muttered and repeated it, then exchanged a glance with Tang Ze, then looked at the three people and said, "Hey, can you take us to see it?"
"Yeah, I'm a little curious too." Tang Ze agreed with a smile, "Besides, I'm familiar with the Chinese characters, so I can take a look at the content."
"No problem." After hearing what the two said, the three little ones seemed to have done a great deed, and prepared to take Tang Ze and the others to the place where they had seen the stone box before.
Tang Ze, who already knew the plot, naturally knew what would happen next, so he called Gao Mu over and followed them into the forest.
Although it is called a forest, it is only the outermost area, and there are also man-made paths for passage.
Led by the three little ones, they climbed a small hill and soon arrived at a place somewhat remote from the camp.
"Look, that's where we found the stone box!"
Looking in the direction of Mitsuhiko's finger, everyone discovered that there was a very dilapidated house located on the flat ground below the left side of their hillside. There was even a small lake in front of the door. It must have been a beautiful place in the past.
"I didn't expect there would be such a large house in a place like this."
After arriving at the bottom, Gao Mu looked at the dilapidated house in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "But if you look closely, the walls are very dilapidated and covered with moss. It must have been abandoned a long time ago."
"It's really shabby..." Mitsuhiko agreed.
"It looks a bit eerie..." Yuan Tai commented.
"It looks like a haunted house..." Ayumi also exclaimed.
As the group was talking, they came to the front of the mansion and saw the old wooden gate.
“This is…”
Conan looked at the door and touched it, but before he could do anything, Ayumi beside him called his name and waved for him to come over quickly.
"Look, look, this is where we found the stone box."
Ayumi squatted beside the stone box and said, "You see, there are a lot of Chinese characters in it."
"Why is it so wet?" Tang Ze looked at the surface of the stone box and asked in a strange manner.
"That was when we came here before. It was actually in the water." Yuan Tai chuckled and said, "There was a carp swimming in the box at the time. We wanted to catch it, so we fished Shihezi out."
"Then I discovered the Chinese characters inside." Mitsuhiko looked at Tang Ze expectantly: "Did you see anything?"
"This should be a stone lantern."
Tang Ze smiled and said, "Don't you often see stone buildings like that in Japanese gardens? There's a stone pillar base at the bottom, a hollow box in the middle, and a tower-shaped top on top.
The square box you fished out is called a "fire bag," and it's where you put the candles."
"Now that you mention it, it does look alike..."
Guangyan looked up and down at the stone box on the ground, and then asked doubtfully, "But if it's Shidong Road, then where are its top and base?"
"As for this, just look at this small lake and you will know." Conan smiled and looked at the lake.
In the clearly visible lake water, a pile of stone lantern parts were quietly piled up at the bottom of the lake.
