Conan: This repairman is not very knowledgeable

"Red maple leaves in winter, what is that?"

"I do not know either."

"When winter comes, the maple leaves turn red and fall off?"

All three suspects said they were unaware of the series.

"Haha, there's no point trying to hide it. If you're a die-hard fan, you'll pop your head out just by hearing the theme song!"

Ashan glanced at the time on his watch, took out the portable TV from his pocket and placed it in front of everyone.

"Come on, let me show you the red maple leaves in winter!"

Unexpected.

The theme song did not play.

"The competition is about to officially begin, the European Karate King Championship, welcome to watch!"

Unfortunately, there is no rebroadcast of the TV series tonight, and the TV station is broadcasting a foreign karate program instead.

"Are you planning to let us watch a karate match?" The three suspects also had question marks on their faces.

This police officer is really a bit out of touch...

"No..." Ashan smiled awkwardly, feeling a little lost.

"The lone and arrogant boxing master who has set a record of 400 undefeated fights at the age of 18, Kyogoku Shin!"

Suddenly, a contestant's message came from the portable TV.

"Lend it to me!" Sonoko snatched the TV and looked at the promotional photos on it, looking very happy.

"Sonoko, haven't you heard him mention anything about this game?" Xiaolan seemed quite surprised to see Sonoko's condition.

"He said that rather than letting me see him lose the game, he would rather commit seppuku to apologize, so he refused to tell me such a thing." Sonoko smiled and said sweetly.

"Hah, seppuku?" Xiaolan opened her mouth.

A bit of a benefit...

"That guy will never lose, right?" Conan laughed speechlessly. If he continued to practice, he might even be able to break through steel plates.

"If some weird guys sneak in, it's hard to say." Lin Feng thought about it seriously and shook his head.

Okita Souji, Onimaru Takeshi, Tetsuken, and Lupin's group are also active internationally. Who knows what other masters are out there.

"Officer Yamamura, I've already asked the TV series' production company, and they have no idea that Katakana is HODUMI's assistant director."

The police officer has already called to confirm, and the other party has also faxed the list of staff members.

"This list is quite detailed, and it also includes the date and time of employment. However, are you sure there is nothing missing?" Ashan asked after taking a look at the list.

"Well, I have asked someone to take photos of the deceased. I will send them via email later. But if the production company has not missed any of them, then it means that the victim lied."

The police officer nodded, not ruling out the possibility that the deceased was impersonating someone else and defrauding others.

"Come to think of it, April 1st is April Fool's Day, a day for deceiving people. This is implying that the murderer deceived us, right?" Ashan said with a confident smile.

"I, that's not what I meant. Maybe the victim lied to attract fans of the drama Winter Maple Red and gain benefits from it..." the police officer expressed his guess.

Anyway, this person is much more reliable than Ashan...

"Sonoko, Conan seems to have disappeared suddenly." Xiaolan, who was listening to the case attentively, glanced beside her and said to her best friend.

"This person is amazing." Yuanzi said without looking up at the TV in her hand.

She seemed not to hear what Xiaolan said at all.

Kyogoku Makoto hasn't come on the field yet, she wants to observe the enemy situation.

"Really? Brother Lin Feng is gone too." Xiaolan remembered that she had only seen the repairman three or five minutes ago. "Oh!"

Looking at the contestants in the karate championship, Sonoko couldn't help but exclaimed, "Zhen's opponents today are all very strong..."

……

"The date is the key. If my reasoning is correct, the murderer may not have been found yet!"

Conan turned on the flashlight function of his watch and ran wildly through the woods.

Finally, he ran to a maple tree with a red handkerchief tied to its branch.

This maple forest is different from the one where the last scene was filmed. There is only one tree with a red handkerchief tied on it, and it is covered by maple leaves, making it difficult to be found.

And this tree is the one that Conan climbed when he was helping Sonoko find the handkerchief.

"The victim must have dug something with his hands before meeting the criminal."

Conan muttered as he noticed something strange on the ground next to the tree. The soil was loose and had obviously been dug.

As his hands dug, a human skull that had turned into a skeleton appeared before his eyes.

Apparently, the so-called fan commissioned Mr. HODUMI to look for the first maple tree with a red handkerchief tied to it, which inspired the screenwriter, in order to find this skull.

"Next, we have to lure the criminal over here." Conan called Xiaolan.

After learning that the three suspects were being questioned nearby.

The dog-headed detective deliberately discussed with Yuanzi about the lonely tree in the woods with a red handkerchief tied to it.

It is not on the way up or down the mountain, but is a few hundred meters away from the hot spot of the last scene. The garden is still very impressive.

"Please, of course I remember it, but who would walk hundreds of meters away and climb to such a high place to tie a handkerchief." Sonoko said speechlessly while watching the karate competition.

She now felt more and more that the little boy with glasses had seen it wrong.

"Conan, are you okay? Is Brother Lin Feng with you?" Xiaolan took the phone and asked with concern.

"Sister Xiaolan, don't worry, I'm fine." After Conan said that, he hung up the phone.

With Sonoko's voice, the criminal can definitely hear it, but I don't know whether he will take the bait.

Also, where did that guy Lin Feng go again???

Conan shook his head, buried the skull, activated his tree-climbing skill, and prepared to squat on the tree...

……

In the hotel lobby.

The village police officer took his men back first, and the three guests also returned to their rooms, waiting for the police to come and question them again tomorrow morning.

After waiting for twenty or thirty minutes, Xiaolan still couldn't get through to Lin Feng and Conan on the phone, and she felt a little uneasy.

"Sonoko, do you think Conan ran to the mountain by himself?" Xiaolan asked with a worried look on her face.

"What is he doing in the mountain?" Yuanzi looked puzzled.

Peek-a-boo?

"I was thinking, he will ask you about the maple tree, whether he has found any clues. From his tone, it doesn't seem like Brother Lin Feng is around."

Xiaolan thought about it carefully, but still felt something was wrong.

If Brother Lin Feng was there, Conan would definitely not have hung up the phone so suddenly and stopped him from asking further questions.

"What you said seems to make sense..." After a moment of contemplation, a certain reasoning queen nodded and said.

It seems that my best friend has been influenced by me and finally got it... (End of this chapter)
