Fujiwara Yu lost his sense of direction after entering the forest. He knew that if he walked a distance to the west of the forest, he would enter the Aokigahara Forest. It was originally a natural forest with pleasant scenery, but because people with suicidal thoughts chose to end their lives there, it got the unlucky title of "Suicide Forest".
He frowned worriedly. He had been following the figure for about five minutes. Now, the surroundings were all trees and bushes that looked almost identical. It was really difficult to identify where he was.
Fujiwara Yu took out his cell phone and was about to locate his position, but he didn't know that Edogawa Conan's kick made him hear a strange movement above his head. He subconsciously looked up and met a pair of eyes - it was the male waiter!
Seeing the male waiter jump down from the tree, he launched a back kick without saying a word. Even though he managed to block, he was forced back several steps by the powerful force. Before he could stand firm, he was hit by another mid-range kick in the abdomen. This time he was unable to block it, and he flew backwards and hit the tree trunk.
The monstrous strength left Fujiwara You helpless. He covered his abdomen and staggered to his feet. He never expected that the fighting skills of the man in front of him were so powerful.
"Brother Yingsi!"
Seeing the man with glasses attacking again, Edogawa Conan didn't know where he got the courage from to open his arms and use his small body to protect Touji Sosuke behind him. His determined eyes also made the man with glasses lower his raised right leg, and he stared at the two people in front of him with a complicated expression.
Obviously, the man with glasses couldn't do anything to the child. He knew that if he kicked the child, the child would definitely die.
He didn't want to be charged with murder. He practiced karate to protect what he wanted to protect, not to hurt or kill people. Thinking of this, he took two steps back to distance himself and asked in a deep voice:
"Why are you following me? Are you trying to stop me from finding them?"
"?"
This question left Fujiwara Yuu and Edogawa Conan bewildered. They stared at each other, each seeing the surprise in the other's eyes. So, was this all a misunderstanding? The powerful man before them wasn't Michiwaki Masahiko's accomplice? Or the copycat criminal's accomplice?
Fujiwara Yu brushed off the dust on his body. Even though the area where he was kicked in the stomach was still painful, he pretended to be fine and asked his doubts:
"You're not Michiwaki Masahiko's man?"
"Shouldn't I be the one asking this question? What is your relationship with Michiwaki Masahiko?"
It turned out to be a misunderstanding. The other party's expression did not lie. Didn't I get beaten for nothing?
Fujiwara Yu took out his police ID in a puzzled mood. When he took a step forward, he saw the man with glasses in a defensive posture. He swallowed his speech and threw the ID over.
The man with glasses unfolded his ID and looked at it. When he saw the word "police", he showed a hint of surprise and raised his eyes to ask:
"You're a police officer? Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"...You are the one who fights as soon as we meet, right?" When Fujiwara Yu said this, his eyes were full of resentment. This guy didn't even give him a chance to explain. Besides, it was him who was sneaking around, not him.
The man with glasses blushed, and then realized that it was a misunderstanding. He touched the back of his head and said embarrassedly:
"I'm sorry, I mistook you for an accomplice of the pervert."
"What's your name? And why are you here? Have you found Michiwaki Masahiko's whereabouts?"
"My name is Kyogoku Makoto. I was following that person, but I passed out after drinking a glass of lemonade handed to me by the restaurant waiter. When I woke up, the two girls were gone. I thought that person often committed crimes in the forest, so I thought I would try my luck. But as soon as I came in, I felt someone was following me, so I deliberately hid in a tree to observe you. You know what happened next."
Yes, I do know, and I don’t want to experience it a second time.
Fujiwara Yu rubbed his temples with a headache. He still didn't know the whereabouts of Suzuki Sonoko and Mori Ran. He looked at Edogawa Conan who was anxious and almost collapsed, and had to use the dumbest method.
He took out his cell phone and contacted Shoji Terabayashi, asking him to arrange for the local police to investigate the forest. At least such a large-scale search might scare the murderer and make him give up the crime.
"Mr. Kyogoku, let's split up and search."
"Um."
Fujiwara Yuu, who has returned to the search work, did not miss any clues around him. He and Conan walked all the way towards the depths of the forest. He didn't know if the goddess of luck finally fell in love with him, but he actually found a pair of sandals next to the bushes.
After seeing these sandals, Edogawa Conan said excitedly:
"This is Sonoko! She must be nearby!"
"Well, Kudo, let's split up. Be careful."
When Fujiwara Yu said this, he secretly activated the power of the wind, using his sandals as a medium. As long as he couldn't hear any sound, it meant that Suzuki Sonoko was not nearby. If he could hear the sound, he could find her.
The power of wind was unable to eavesdrop on any sound. Based on the abandoned state of the sandals, Suzuki Sonoko should have been running from east to west, so she could be ruled out of running in the east direction... For the remaining three directions, she could only take her chances.
Fujiwara Yu ran towards the west, constantly urging the power of the wind. Finally, his efforts paid off and he successfully eavesdropped on Suzuki Sonoko's crying voice.
——"I really don't know about the photo. I didn't capture the scene of you committing the crime. Please let me go!"
The sound was not far from where he was, it was over there!
