Perhaps because of the upcoming main plot, Tang Ze has clearly experienced the calmness of a salted fish in recent times... oh no, it's the calmness of "a storm is about to come".
The sun is shining brightly, and spring has quietly shortened to the early summer season. The weather is neither too cold nor too hot, which is the most comfortable time.
Not too much or too little to wear, neither too fat nor too bare-chested, not too cold nor too hot, this is Tang Ze's favorite weather.
As time goes by, the weekend holiday has quietly arrived.
After receiving the text message from Dr. Agasa, Tang Ze quietly slipped out of the Metropolitan Police Department and found a remote public telephone booth nearby.
Then…
"Moshimoshi? The Metropolitan Police Department? I want to report it!!"
"Yeah, it's like this. I'm reporting that there are three people preparing to bury a body in a cave next to the Shinyama campground near Tokyo! They're carrying guns, so hurry over there!"
“Bang!”
After using disguise and voice-changing skills to make a report, Tang Ze hung up the phone without waiting for the operator to react and ask questions, and then quickly left the phone booth.
Afterwards, he found a restroom nearby, removed his disguise in the private room inside, and rushed to the Metropolitan Police Department as if nothing had happened.
When Tang Ze returned to the Metropolitan Police Department, he happened to see Officer Megure on duty, who was frowning and communicating with the telephone receptionist on the phone.
So he waited for a moment, and after Officer Megure hung up the phone, he asked, "Officer Megure, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
"Someone reported the crime."
Inspector Megure repeated what Tang Ze had said when he reported the case, then frowned and said, "But there are some problems with this reporter. First of all, he reported the case anonymously.
Furthermore, the location reported was clearly a camping area near Tokyo, but the area code of the phone booth was within Tokyo. I had someone check and found that the location was even near the Metropolitan Police Department."
After a pause, Inspector Megure looked a little conflicted: "I suspect this might just be a prank, but..."
"But you're also afraid that the case is real, right? And the other party has guns. A place like the forest outside Tokyo is a perfect place to kill and silence people.
Once the body is buried in a cave, no one will be able to find it, and the injustice will be buried in the sea forever.
Moreover, such criminals operating in the outskirts of our city, where police presence is weak, might even endanger people camping nearby."
Before Inspector Megure could continue, Karasawa took the lead in finishing his words.
But this statement...normally speaking, is a bit alarmist.
But what Tang Ze wants is the effect!
Without exaggerating, how could he find an excuse to take people out?
After asking for the address, Tang Ze pretended to be surprised and said that he and Professor Agasa had an appointment to meet at the campsite nearby at noon.
So under Karasawa's "encouragement" and "assistance", Inspector Megure gradually changed and began to consider the possibility that there was really a case.
In the end, the mentality of "better to be safe than sorry" prevailed, and with Karasawa's guidance, Inspector Megure finally decided to make a trip.
Just like Tang Ze said, even if it's in vain, wouldn't it be a relief to have peace of mind?
And because the reporter mentioned in a serious manner that the criminals had guns, Tang Ze also suggested applying for guns.
Although he felt that it was a bit of an overreaction, considering what if the case was true and the criminal really had a gun, Inspector Megure felt that applying for a gun just in case was a good option.
After all, we are ready to investigate. If we really encounter this situation, it would be very embarrassing if we don’t have a gun. If someone gets injured, we will regret it to death.
In the end, Inspector Megure was guided step by step by Karasawa's theory of "no regrets in doing it" and finally decided to go out on the mission!
After applying for guns, Officer Megure gathered people from the three departments and drove the police car towards the campsite.
When Dr. Agasa sent a text message to Karasawa with the camping address, they had just set out, although Karasawa was delayed for some time afterwards because of discussing with Inspector Megure.
However, as they accelerated, both sides arrived at the campsite basically one after the other.
However, as Tang Ze and his team accelerated, the two sides arrived at the campsite basically one after the other.
Seeing Karasawa, Megure and others getting out of the police car, Dr. Agasa said in confusion: "Karasawa-san, are you guys camping together?"
"Looking at this situation, it's impossible no matter how you think about it." After Conan complained about Dr. Agasa, he looked at Tang Ze and others and asked, "Detective Tang Ze, has something happened?"
"Well, I guess so, but I'm not sure yet."
Tang Ze briefly explained the situation and then looked at the three eager kids and said, "You guys stay here and don't run around. If the report on the phone is true, it could be very dangerous."
"Hi..." The three little ones looked disappointed when they heard that and replied weakly.
Because the cave involved in the case was near Dr. Agasa's campsite, not long after they dispersed to search, they heard from the intercom that Sato Miwako had found the target.
After hearing the reported location, Tang Ze and others immediately rushed to the front of the cave.
"What's the situation?" Inspector Megure asked quietly as soon as he saw Sato Miwako.
"I just took a look at the cave entrance and saw a light inside. There is indeed someone there," Sato Miwako reported. "But I only saw the light. The situation inside was blocked by the mountain wall, so I don't know the specific situation."
"Well... there's a 'Danger, Keep Out' sign outside. Most people probably won't come in unless it's necessary." Officer Megure pondered for a moment, then looked at everyone and said, "Be prepared. It's best to be cautious!"
"Hi!"
After checking the pistol, at the signal of Officer Megure, Karasawa and others slowly walked into the cave with guns.
In a dim cave, Tang Ze and others walked lightly inside.
The place where Sato Miwako had seen lights before had now become dark.
After waiting for a while, when everyone's eyes gradually adapted to the dim environment, Tang Ze and others began to go deeper and soon found faint lights deep in the tunnel.
As they gradually approached, the sound of digging made by the shovel hitting the ground gradually reached everyone's ears, and this situation quickly made people think that the people inside were digging a hole to bury the body...
As the lights got brighter and the distance between the two sides got closer, everyone nodded in understanding, looked at each other, and then immediately rushed forward.
When the scene before their eyes came into view, everyone raised their pistols pointing to the ground as if by reflex.
“Don’t move!!”
“Get down!!”
