Chapter 672 Wreckage
Toru Amuro walked slowly around the tree with the old handkerchief tied to it, looking at it carefully.
Then I vaguely felt that the position of the tree roots was not right.
He squatted down, pushed aside the dead leaves covering the top layer, and found that the vegetation underneath was indeed a little strange.
Something seems to be buried here.
After coming to this simple conclusion, Toru Amuro thought for a moment, took out his gloves, put them on and dug the soil for a while.
A few minutes later, he looked at something exposed under the soil and suddenly stopped moving.
——A skeleton that has already turned into bones is buried here.
"..." After staying with Jiang Xia for a long time, Toru Amuro's first reaction was to call the police.
But in the end, he just remained silent for a moment, then silently covered the soil back and spread the dead leaves evenly.
Then he took out his phone, opened his mailbox, typed in the content, and instructed the organization branches in Gunma Prefecture to temporarily call his peripheral members: [There is something, go and confirm it...]
…
The other side.
Jiang Xia and others walked along the road and finally found the location where the male and female protagonists met in the TV series.
After taking a look at the "holy land", the happy Kogoro Maori became unhappy.
——In front of them, stood a fiery red maple tree.
In addition to maple leaves, the tree is also full of red handkerchiefs fluttering in the wind.
Originally, "handkerchiefs tied to a tree" would not be offensive, but rather interesting. But the problem is that there are too many red handkerchiefs on the tree, densely packed together, hanging neatly. Occasionally, when a gust of wind blows, the direction and amplitude of the swaying are exactly the same, red on red, too dense, and the aesthetic atmosphere is lost, and it is faintly eerie.
"How uncivilized!" Kogoro Mouri stared at the top of his head, stunned for a moment, and angrily issued the above condemnation.
Jiang Xia nodded in agreement.
Just after they clicked a few times, a kind voice suddenly came from behind them: "Sorry, sorry, it's all my fault."
"?"
The group of people turned around and saw a burly man with a knitted hat, a broad chin and a white vest.
"It's all your fault?" Maori Kogoro looked at him in confusion, a little bewildered, "You tied all of this on? Are you a handkerchief seller?"
"Suzuki Sonoko" laughed.
Mao Lilan was speechless for a moment, and nudged her father with her elbow - this couldn't be the reason. Although the handkerchiefs on the tree were all red, if you look closely, the styles are actually not the same... No, no, this is not the problem at all. Even if they are selling handkerchiefs, they won't have the time to tie handkerchiefs to branches.
So what the man meant by that sentence should be...
Thinking of this, Mao Lilan, who wanted to chase every star, had bright eyes.
She turned to the person who suddenly appeared, skillfully found the autographed book, took out the matching pen, and happily approached: "Are you the original author of "Winter Maple Red"? I'm your fan!"
The man who suddenly appeared was startled.
Then he scratched the back of his head and laughed innocently: "No, no, I'm just the assistant director of this drama - I said that just now because when the screenwriter asked me if I had any recommended filming locations, I recommended this Maple Leaf Mountain to him.
"To be honest, this is actually my hometown. I used to come to the mountain often. Once when I was shooting a scene nearby, I found an old red handkerchief tied to the branch of a maple tree. When the screenwriter heard me talk about this, he suddenly got an inspiration and changed the last scene in the movie to what you see now."
It can be heard that although the man said sorry, his tone was actually a bit proud and he seemed to be honored.
But soon, he sighed again: "Being too famous is actually a double-edged sword. After the number of tourists increased because of the "Winter Maple Red", the shopping street and nearby hotels were happy. But on the other hand, since then, many people have come to this mountain to camp without permission, and some people are like this..."
He raised his hand and pointed to the tree above his head that was wrapped with red handkerchiefs: "Tie red handkerchiefs on the tree. The owner of this mountain has complained to me countless times.
"In addition, the crew and the reception knew that I was very familiar with this mountain, so they forwarded all the related questions raised by the big customers to me, such as 'Are there any similar attractions around', 'Can you take me to see the tree at the filming location', etc.
"I came here today because a guest wanted to see the tree with an old red handkerchief tied to it, which inspired the screenwriter. The trees on this mountain all look similar. I forgot where I saw it. I have been wandering around since this morning and finally found it. I am almost exhausted."
At first, Mao Lilan and others listened to the gossip behind the creation of this drama with great interest.
Later, as I listened, I found that the assistant director began to complain, and I suddenly had a vague premonition.
Sure enough, not long after, the man changed the subject and said with a chuckle, "So, could you please do me a small favor?"
He raised his hand and made a "a little bit" gesture.
"What help?" Jiang Xia spoke before anyone else and took the initiative to take over the conversation to prevent the man from being directly rejected by Maori Kogoro who was in a bad mood.
Jiang Xia has always been very patient and willing to learn more about these unusual events that suddenly occur on the road.
"It's like this. Didn't I just mention that someone asked me to help find the 'source of inspiration' for the screenwriter?"
The man heard his tone and felt that there was a chance, so he quickly explained: "I have found the tree, but I forgot to note the customer's mobile phone number, and it was mixed up with other numbers. If I send emails to ask one by one, I am afraid of disturbing other guests. There is no way to notify him.
"There is a 'Red Tree Inn' in Yamaguchi, and that guest is staying there. There is always a message book in the lobby of the hotel. I would like to trouble you to write a sentence on it: "I have found the tree you are looking for. Please meet under the tree at the filming location and I will take you there."
After saying that, he smiled helplessly: "I didn't expect it would take so long to find that tree. If I go to see him myself, I have to go down the mountain, accompany the client up, and then go down again... I really can't handle it. I have to trouble you."
Vermouth glanced at him, then looked at the nearby tree, thoughtfully.
Mao Lilan was more attentive and asked one more question: "If I leave a message, what name should I put in the note? What if the guest can't see the message? Does he have any characteristics? Can we directly relay it to him?"
"Just write Hozumi in the remarks." The man turned over the notebook in his hand. The pronunciation of his name was written on it. It was indeed Hozumi:
"As for features, I actually don't know what the guest looks like - we've only talked on the phone and have never met. But don't worry, he can't see him. He's already arrived at the hotel this morning. I said, 'I'll go look for him as soon as I have news. If he's not there, I'll leave a message on the notepad in the lobby,' so he should go and check it out."
