Conan: This repairman is not very knowledgeable

In the forest, a black figure was walking quickly with a flashlight in his hand.

After a long time, he squatted down, fumbled for a while, and a look of joy appeared on his face in the darkness.

That's right, it's here!
"I thought you would be happier. After all, you are an old friend whom I haven't seen for a long time!"

Suddenly, a strong light hit his face from top to bottom, and he put out his hands to cover his eyes.

That's right, the criminal is among the three people in the hotel.

It was the fat old man wearing glasses.

"Edogawa Conan is a detective." The dog-headed detective revealed his true face and said with a smile.

"..."

Seeing that it was a little child standing above his head and shouting at him, Watanuki Tatsuzo narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

“Although I don’t know who these people who have turned into bones are.”

"But I know that you killed him and buried him here, and tied a handkerchief of the same color as the red leaves as a mark." Conan reasoned.

In the past, few people would come to this mountain even during the maple leaf season. Even if there were tourists who came to admire the red leaves, it would be difficult to see this red handkerchief among the leaves.

However, since the TV series Winter Maple Red became popular, the situation has changed and the mountain is full of people.

This made Tatsuzo Watanuki even more panicked. He was worried that his past crimes would be discovered, so he pretended to be a fan of the series and contacted Mr. HODUMI, wanting to pay to find the tree that originally gave the screenwriter inspiration.

"..." Watanuki Tatsuzo didn't say anything and looked towards the dark jungle on both sides.

"You probably didn't expect that Mr. Hodumi would be so bored as to dig the dirt, and you certainly didn't expect that he would have the guts to use this to blackmail you."

Conan believes that the assistant director is committing blackmail.

Because it was four of them who went down the mountain to help leave messages in the guestbook.

Unless faced with some strange situations, most people would not choose to kill people.

"Hehe, you seem to know that greedy guy very well." Watanuki Tatsuzo stood up, showing no fear or panic on his face, instead he laughed.

"You chose to kill him before asking for the location because you thought you had a sure win. The tree was nearby, and the other party had just dug the soil. If you just looked around, you would definitely be able to find it."

"But you didn't expect that the place where we agreed to meet, the last scene of red maple leaves in winter, is not the place where you are buried at all." Conan said with a smile.

It’s several hundred meters away from the last scene, it’s hard to find it!
"Little friend, you are really smart. However, what would you have planned if I hadn't come here?" The fat old man asked with a smile, his hands behind his back.

"Just call the police."

"Because it has been recorded in Mr. HODUMI's notebook, you are the murderer." Conan replied.

"Impossible, I've seen that notebook, there's just a little bloodstain on the date April 1st." Watanuki Tatsuzo was confused by the other party's confident expression.

The guy was stabbed in the abdomen at that time. I found him lying on the ground. After taking out his notebook, I stabbed him in the chest again and took him away.

evidence?

That little bit of blood on April 1st?
Didn't you just come across it by chance?

"Yes, April 1st. In the past, people would pull out the cotton (WATA) from their clothes (NUKI) and wear them as summer clothes."

"WATANUKI, it means both April 1st and your last name, Watanuki."

The reason why Conan thought of this day was thanks to Ashan holding the list of crew members and reading the date on it.

The police should have confirmed that Mr. HODUMI was indeed the assistant director of the crew.

His katakana is also derived from the date.

"Now it's my turn to ask you, you little idiot who calls himself a detective, do you know why I left his body behind and left the scene?" Watanuki Tatsuzo asked with a sneer. "Because you calculated that after dark, no one would come here, so you planned to go down the mountain to make preparations, and then come here at night to bury him." Conan had already opened the anesthesia aiming cover of his watch.

"That's true, but I'm not here alone." Just as Watanuki Tatsuzo finished his words, a group of thugs holding iron bars and machetes walked out of the woods behind him.

When Sonoko and Conan were talking on the phone, they only roughly talked about the range of a few hundred meters. If these people were not there, it would be difficult for him to find the tree in the dark.

Even from the third time Conan went up the mountain, someone had been secretly watching him.

"???"

Director Ke's expression finally changed. These were not just two or three people, there were at least forty or fifty people in front of him.

Football can solve one problem, watches can solve one problem, what about the rest???
"Conan-kun!"

"Where are you!"

Suddenly, the shouts of two girls were heard from a distance.

"Haha, go catch them!" When Watanuki Tatsuzo saw the little detective jump off the tree trunk and run away, he was not in a hurry. He just waved his hand and called on everyone to chase after him.

……

"What a fool you are! He may not have really come to the mountain. Why are you so nervous?"

Sonoko felt that Xiaolan's previous analysis made sense, but she still didn't see any person.

"How can that be possible? The child is too curious. He would sneak out. Maybe he thought of some clues. In any case, it is too dangerous for a person to run up the mountain late at night..." Xiaolan kept nagging.

"..." Sonoko was concentrating on watching the TV in her hands and didn't say a word.

Before Kyogoku Makoto even played in the game, Ashan had been holding the portable TV in her hand.

"There are footsteps!" Xiaolan suddenly stopped and pulled Yuanzi.

"Footsteps?"

"Did that kid with glasses hear you calling him?" Sonoko was stunned, not knowing why her best friend was a little serious.

"Sister Xiaolan, be careful!" Conan shouted from about 20 meters away.

"Suffer to death!"

I don't know when the little henchman had already circled behind the two women, waving an iron rod and shouting.

"drink!"

Xiaolan's eyes narrowed and she threw a spinning kick.

Although I don’t know what’s going on, the person who rushed up with a stick is definitely not a good person.

At this time, Conan had already run in front of the two women.

Even though Xiaolan kicked one down in an instant, the Dog-Headed Detective did not look relaxed.

The current situation cannot be resolved by just one person falling down.

Unfortunately, this group of people surrounded us from all directions, making it difficult to escape.

"Eh?!"

"What's going on, little devil with glasses?"

When Sonoko saw two strange men with knives coming out from the front, her face changed and she asked Conan.

Who did you offend in the mountains?
They don't look like your friends. (End of this chapter)
