Chapter 912: Dead bodies buried under red maple trees

Although he looked bewildered, Yamamura Cao handed over the car keys and watched Tang Ze take Conan away.

As for the Suzuki sisters and Xiaolan and others, he also told the three of them to be safe and not to leave Shancuncao and other criminals until he came back.

Of course, he also explained to Yamamura Cao that although this product is unreliable, it is still possible to bring troops to act as bodyguards.

With Xiaolan present, plus so many criminals, there must be no problem in terms of safety, so Tang Ze left very relieved.

After asking everyone to wait for news from the two of them in the lobby of the hotel, Tang Ze took Conan all the way up the mountain on the grounds that his memory was good enough to help him find the road signs.

It's just that when they got near the maple forest, the two got out of the car and hiked up the mountain with a flashlight.

After all, the two of them came to find the marked maple tree. Naturally, it was impossible to drive up the mountain in a "flying horse and watch the flowers", so they could only confirm it a little bit.

But this is a troublesome project. After all, the mountain is pitch black, and the only light source that can be relied on is the flashlight in hand.

Fortunately, Conan's memory is absolutely outstanding, and he quickly determined the familiar path after a long journey.

"I remember walking along the road from here." Conan walked forward, and Tang Ze followed behind with tools, and the two soon came to a maple tree.

"This is it."

Conan shined the flashlight upwards, saw the red handkerchief tied on the branch, and quickly determined according to the location, this is the tree that Yuanzi mistakenly thought the handkerchief floated up in the morning.

This is also the reason why Tang Ze took Conan with him. After all, the other party climbed up the tree and saw the location of the red handkerchief. No one could determine the location of the maple tree better than him.

"Get out of the way."

Holding the small shovel borrowed from the hotel for gardening, Tang Ze squatted down and dug under the tree with the shovel.

And when the shovel touched the ground, Tang Ze soon realized something was wrong.

"It's very soft, it looks like it was dug up and filled with soil." Tang Ze told Conan his discovery.

"Sure enough, the Mr. "AD" we saw 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 speak any more, but dug down bit by bit, and soon under the light of the flashlight, a stern white appeared under the soil.

Tang Ze put down the shovel and dug up the soil with his hands in white gloves, revealing the things buried in the soil.

The bones, the pale head was covered with mud, and the black eye holes were facing the two people outside the pit, as if silently telling the misery of life.

"What should we do now?" Conan looked at Tang Ze and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"What about you? Already have an idea?" Tang Ze moved his nose slightly, then smiled calmly and said, "I just don't know, are you thinking the same way as I am?"

"In this situation, we have no other evidence, so this is the only way."

Conan and Tang Ze glanced at each other and took out their mobile phones at the same time.

"Come on." Tang Ze smiled and dialed Yuanzi's phone number: "It's more convenient for you to ask for me."

"That's right." Conan nodded, answered the phone call, and began to explain the situation.

"Is it Conan? Is it brother-in-law who asked you to ask me something?"

"Ah, you said that I thought my handkerchief fell on the maple tree, right?

The distance to that tree appears in the woods near the rock in the final scene.

If you want to walk, it's about 10 minutes away. "

Sonoko answered Conan's question truthfully.

"I see, thank you, Sister Yuanzi."

Conan couldn't help but smile when he heard the other party say what he wanted to convey under his guidance: "By the way, Sister Sonoko, do you really not think about the tree before?

I remember that there was also a red handkerchief tied to that tree, and the overall situation of the value looks very good, maybe it appeared in a film and television drama. "

"You stupid, the handkerchief tied to that tree must be a masterpiece of fans!"

After hearing what Conan said, Sonoko said in a bad mood: "The only thing that appeared in the drama was the maple tree that grew next to that rock.

Two or three of those trees at a time can be confusing! "

"Haha... yes ha..."

Although he wanted to further entice Sonoko to share information to increase the temptation of "bait", but being so despised by the other party, he might just smile awkwardly, and then hang up the phone after a few perfunctory sentences.

"Brat, how dare you hang up on my phone!"

Yuanzi was still chattering and mocking, but the phone suddenly rang with a busy tone, and she closed the phone angrily: "Let him look good next time!"

"Okay, hey, maybe he's going to help criminal Tang Ze find clues!" Xiaolan comforted the angry Yuanzi by the side.

I don't know why, but she and Conan just don't get along very well. She is unhappy with Conan no matter what, so she can only be sandwiched in the middle as a palliative to appease her best friend.

"So, Criminal Tang Ze is probably about to find a clue?"

Shancun Cao at the side naturally also heard the content of the phone call just now, and his expression was a little excited: "It's really amazing, as expected of Tang Ze's criminal!"

"Hmph, isn't that a matter of course!" Yuanzi said triumphantly, "Since brother-in-law has already taken action, there is no suspense in the case!"

"Unfortunately, Criminal Tang Ze didn't bring me along!"

Speaking of the pity of this mountain village, this is a great opportunity to handle the case with Criminal Tang Ze. If we can really catch the murderer together, then returning to Qunma County will be the capital to show off to those colleagues.

But thinking of the tasks that Tang Ze explained, Yamamura Cao could only stay here honestly and comfort himself:

'This is also an important task. Since Tang Zezheng has confessed, it means that he trusts me. I can't live up to Tang Zezheng's trust! '

But in fact, Tang Ze is just habitually well-organized, and Yamamura Cao is his toolman bodyguard, as long as he doesn't make trouble and wait for the case to end.

If he is allowed to follow, he doesn't know what troubles will be caused by his personality.

Everyone waited patiently for the news of Tang Ze's crime, but they didn't notice that there was a figure hiding in a dark corner in the hallway leading to the room, showing a ferocious smile.

In the dark night, Xiaolan and the others were still waiting patiently in the lobby of the hotel, but they didn't notice that one of the three people who investigated before had quietly left the hotel and headed for the mountains.

In the dark woods, a dim light shone into the distance, and the shadow searched all the way and finally found a maple tree with a red handkerchief hanging on the branch.

He put the flashlight on the ground and dug under the tree with both hands.

The soil on the outside of the pothole was very soft, and even a layer of maple leaves was carelessly covered on it. The little black man didn't dig a few times, and a pothole the size of a human head was exposed.

And in it, because the skull was lying there quietly.

Seeing this, the little black man showed a ferocious smile.

"Shouldn't you be more happy? After all, this is the first goodbye after a long time, right?"

Just after the little black man dug up the bones, Tang Ze's voice suddenly came from the dark forest guard.

The little black man looked around in a panic, and the next moment a light came from the maple tree, illuminating the figure of the other party, revealing his true face.

Mianguan Chenzo, standing next to the skeleton at this moment is the kind-looking old man in the hotel!

And he is the murderer this time, and also the culprit of the bones under the maple tree!

"Although I don't know the identity of this skeleton, you killed him and buried him here, right?"

Tang Ze pointed to the red handkerchief on the branch and said: "You take this red handkerchief as a mark, if something happens, you can move the corpse immediately.

The reason for choosing red is to blend in the maple leaves without attracting attention.

Because no one would come to this mountain before except for the red maple in autumn, but the popularity of the handkerchief is beyond your expectations, right?

The last classic scene of "Winter Maple Red" was filmed on this mountain.

After that, pilgrimage fans began to pour in irrespective of the season, imitating the last scene in the center, and tied red handkerchiefs on the branches of this maple forest in an endless stream.

This unexpected scene also made you unable to distinguish the marks you made, and naturally the body buried under the maple tree could not be found.

You are afraid that your murder will be exposed at some point. In order to find the original maple tree, the staff of the serial drama who deliberately went on a diet, that is, the man you killed today.

You then pay him to help you find the maple tree that inspired the screenwriter.

And he did find the maple tree as he wished, so you followed the message and went to meet the other party in the woods in the last scene.

You thought that if you paid him to tell you where the tree was, you would have all your worries at your fingertips.

But I'm afraid the other party didn't proceed in the direction you thought after receiving the money.

Before he met you, he discovered your secret.

Like you now, he dug up the roots of this maple tree and found the pile of bones you buried.

I think the things after that are very rare and common things in reality or in movies.

The other party used the pile of bones as a handle, saying that you spent more money to seal it.

But blackmail is risky, especially blackmailing a murderer who has already killed someone.

So you decisively chose to kill him, and you did it without even asking the location.

You are decisive and smart, because at that time you no longer need him to point out the position for you.

Because if he has already discovered the place where you buried your bones, the soil under the maple tree will have obvious signs of digging, and it will appear relatively soft.

So you just need to target and find people with relevant characteristics.

In this case, it is useless for you to keep the other party, and the other party is threatening you with this, so you decisively kill.

But what makes you miscalculate is that the place the other party takes you to is not the place where the last scene was filmed.

The tree you want to find is about 500 meters away from where the last scene was filmed.

So after you killed someone, you didn't find any nearby maple trees whose soil had been loosened, and you were afraid that the murder would be discovered, so you left the scene in a hurry. "

Tang Ze jumped down from the tree and looked down at Chenzo Mianguan who was kneeling in front of the pit: "How? There should be no mistakes in my reasoning, right?"

"Hehehe...It is indeed worthy of being the famous "Hell Chaser", it is absolutely true."

Facing Tang Ze, the criminal, Mianguan Chensan smiled and did not feel any panic on his face. Instead, he got up and looked at Tang Ze with great interest and asked, "But if I didn't come here, what are you going to do?" Woolen cloth?"

"Well, that would naturally be a little more troublesome." Tang Ze smiled and said, "Because the man you killed has already written the fact that you are the murderer in his notes."

"Eh? How is it possible?" Mianguan Chenzo immediately vetoed the words: "There is only blood in the notebook on April 1st."

"That's right, on April 1st, people in the past would take out the cotton from their clothes and use it as summer clothes."

Conan, who was still on the tree, smiled and said: "That's why there are Chinese characters that say April 1st, but the pronunciation is the same as your "Mianguan" polyphonic word."

"Judging from the place where the notebook fell, it should be that the other party marked the notebook after being hit by the knife and you found it. You made a second knife on the other party's chest and then ran away."

Tang Ze looked at Mianguan Chenzo with an ugly expression and said mockingly: "At that time you snatched the notebook, but you didn't know what April 1st meant, so you dropped the notebook when you were running away halfway.

But this is also your stupidity. You just threw the notebook near the crime scene. If you destroy the notebook and don’t come here tonight~lightnovelpub.net~ I really have no way to determine the culprit who is it.

In other words, you are in a cocoon. "

"Hey... Then I'll ask you instead, do you know why I left his body and fled the scene?"

There was a playful smile on Mianguan Chenzo's face, that calmness made Conan frown secretly, but he still replied: "Of course no one will come to the mountain again at night, you can take care of the details and take advantage of the night. Bury the body, isn't that obvious?"

"Yeah, that's right, it's really obvious..."

Mianguan Chensan grinned ferociously and said, "And it's with these people!"

As Mianguan Chenzo's words fell, dense footsteps were heard in the maple forest, and countless figures walked out from behind the maple trees, instantly making Conan's face change.

All kinds of men walked out with malicious smiles, but the only thing that remained the same was that each of them held a steel pipe or even a katana sword in their hands.
