Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 680 Wreck

   Amuro Toru circled around the tree with the old handkerchief tied, and slowly turned a few times, looking 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 below was a little strange.

  Here...something seems to be buried.

  Simply came to this conclusion, Amuro thought for a moment, took out the gloves, put it on and digged the soil for a while.

   After a few minutes, he looked at what was exposed under the soil, and his movements suddenly stopped.

  ——Here is a skeleton that has been skeletonized.

   "..." After staying with Jiang Xia for a long time, Amuro's first reaction was to call the police over.

   But in the end, he was only silent for a moment, then silently covered the soil back and spread the dead leaves evenly.

   Then he took out his mobile phone, clicked on the mailbox, entered the content, and instructed the organization branches in Gunma County to temporarily call his peripheral members: [There is something, you go to confirm...]

  …

the other side.

   Jiang Xia and others walked along the road and finally found the scene where the hero and heroine in the TV series met.

   looked at the "Holy Land", and the happy Kogoro Maori was not happy anymore.

  ——In front of them, stood a red maple tree.

  In addition to the maple leaves, there are also branches of red handkerchiefs fluttering in the wind.

   Originally, the "handkerchief tied to the tree" is not offensive, but rather interesting. But the problem is that there are too many red handkerchiefs on this tree, densely packed and hanging neatly. Occasionally a gust of wind blows, and the direction and magnitude of the shaking are exactly the same.

   "Too unqualified!" Mouri Kogoro stared at the top of his head, stunned for a moment, and angrily issued the above condemnation.

   Jiang Xia nodded in agreement.

   Just clicked a few times, and a sincere voice suddenly came from behind them: "Sorry, sorry, it's all my fault."

  “?”

   A group of people turned their heads and saw a burly man with a knitted hat, a broad chin and a white vest.

   "It's all your fault?" Kogoro Mouri looked at him suspiciously, a little confused, "You tied this all up? Are you a handkerchief seller?"

   "Suzuki Sonoko" laughed.

  Maolilan was speechless for a moment, and pushed his elbow against her off-line father-no matter how you think it can't be the reason. Although the handkerchiefs on the trees are all red, if you look closely, the styles are actually different... No, no, that's not the problem at all, even if you sell handkerchiefs, you won't have time to tie them to branches.

   So the meaning of what the man said should be...

  Thinking of this, Mao Lilan, who wants to catch up with every star, has bright eyes.

   She turned to the person who suddenly appeared, flipped through the autograph book skillfully, took out the matching pen, and approached happily: "Are you the original author of "Maple Red in Winter"? I'm your fan!"

   The man who suddenly appeared was startled.

Then he scratched the back of his head and smiled honestly: "No no, I'm just the assistant director of this show - I said that just now because when the screenwriter asked me if I had a recommended shooting location, I recommended this to him. A maple mountain.

"To be honest, this is actually my hometown. I used to come to the mountains to play often. Once when I was shooting a location nearby, I found an old red handkerchief tied to the branch of a maple tree. The screenwriter listened to me. After this incident, I suddenly got inspiration and changed the last scene in the movie to what you see now."

   I could hear that although the man said sorry, his tone was actually a little proud, and he looked proud.

But soon, he sighed again: "To be famous is actually a double-edged sword. After the increase in tourists because of "Maple Red in Winter", the shopping street and nearby hotels are happy. But on the contrary, from After that, many people came to camp on this mountain without authorization, and some people were like this..."

   He raised his hand and pointed to the tree covered with red handkerchiefs above his head: "Tie a red handkerchief to the tree. The owner of this mountain has complained to me many times.

"In addition, the crew and the receptionist know that I know this mountain very well, so they forwarded all the relevant questions raised by major clients to me, such as 'are there any similar attractions around', 'can you take me to the scene' look at the tree in the ground' or something like that...

"I came here today because a client wanted to see the tree that was tied with an old red handkerchief and inspired the screenwriter. On this mountain, the trees are all similar, and I forgot where they were at the time. What I saw, I only found it from wandering around in the morning, and I am almost exhausted."

  At first, Mao Lilan and others listened to the creative gossip behind the play with relish.

   After listening and listening, I found that the assistant started pouring bitter water, and I suddenly had a vague feeling in my heart.

   Sure enough, not long after, the man changed the subject and said with a smile: "So, can you please do me a little favor?"

   He raised his hand and made a "little bit" gesture.

   "What are you busy with?" Jiang Xia spoke before the others and took the initiative to pick up the conversation, lest the man be directly rejected by Kogoro Maori who was in a bad mood.

   Jiang Xia has always been very patient and willing to learn more about such abnormal events that suddenly jumped out on the road.

   "That's it. Didn't I just say that someone asked me to help find the 'source of inspiration' for the screenwriter."

Hearing his tone, the man felt playful, and quickly explained: "I have already found the tree, but I forgot to note the guest's mobile phone number, and it ended up being mixed with other numbers. If I send letters one by one, I'm afraid Disturbing other guests. Unable to notify him.

"There is a 'Red Tree Hotel' in Yamaguchi, where the guest lives. There is a guest book in the lobby of the hotel. I would like to trouble you to write 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 speaking, he smiled helplessly: "I didn't expect it took 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 can't bear it anymore. Thank you"

   Belmod glanced at him, then at the nearby trees, thoughtfully.

  Mao Lilan was more careful and asked one more question: "If you leave a message, what name should you write? What if the guest can't see the message? What characteristics does he have? We can directly pass it on to him."

   "Just write ホヅミ in the remarks." The man turned over the wallet in his hand, and the pronunciation of his name was written on it. It was indeed ホヅミ:

"In terms of characteristics, I actually don't know what the guest looks like - we only talked on the phone, and haven't met. However, don't worry about him not being able to see, he has already arrived at the hotel in the morning, and I said 'one day' If there is news, I will come to him, and if he is not there, I will leave a message on the notepad in the lobby', so he should go and look it up."
