Toru Amuro circled the tree with the old handkerchief tied around it slowly several times, looking at it carefully.
Then I vaguely felt that the position of the tree roots was not quite right.
He squatted down, pushed aside the dead leaves covering the top layer, and found that the vegetation below was indeed a little strange.
Something seems to have been buried here...
After simply coming to this conclusion, Toru Amuro thought for a moment, took out his gloves, put them on and dug in the soil for a while.
A few minutes later, when he looked at what was exposed under the soil, his movements suddenly stopped.
——A skeleton that has turned into white bones is buried here.
"..." After staying with Jiang Xia for a long time, Toru Amuro's first reaction was to call the police over.
But in the end, he just remained silent for a moment, then silently covered the soil back, spreading the dead leaves evenly.
Then he took out his mobile phone, clicked on the mailbox, entered the content, and directed the organizational branches in Gunma County to temporarily call his peripheral members: [There is something, please 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 Mori became unhappy.
——In front of them, stood a fiery red maple tree.
In addition to maple leaves, there are also branches full of red handkerchiefs blowing 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 and hanging neatly. Occasionally a gust of wind blows,
The direction and amplitude of the shaking are also exactly the same, red on top of red, too dense, but it loses the aesthetic atmosphere, and is a bit eerie.
"You are so incompetent!" Mouri Kogoro stared at his head, blankly for a moment, and then angrily issued the above condemnation.
Jiang Xia nodded in agreement.
After just a few clicks, a sincere voice suddenly came from behind them: "Sorry, sorry, it's all my fault."
"?"
A group of people turned around and saw a burly man wearing a knitted hat, a broad chin, and a white vest.
"Is it all your fault?" Mouri Kogoro looked at him doubtfully, a little confused, "You tied all this? Are you a handkerchief seller?"
"Suzuki Sonoko" laughed.
Mao Lilan was speechless for a moment, and bumped her out-of-line father with her elbow - no matter how you thought about it, it couldn't be the reason. Although the handkerchiefs on the tree were all red, but if you look closely, you can see that the styles are actually different... No
No, that's not the problem at all. Even a handkerchief seller would not have enough time to tie handkerchiefs to branches.
So what the man said should mean...
Thinking of this, Mao Lilan's eyes sparkled as she wanted to chase any star.
She turned to the person who suddenly appeared, flipped through the signature book skillfully, took out the matching pen, and approached happily: "Are you the original author of "Winter Maple Red"? I am your fan!"
The man who suddenly appeared was startled.
Then he scratched the back of his head and laughed honestly: "No, no, I'm just the assistant director of this show - I just said that because when the screenwriter asked me if I had any recommended filming locations, I recommended this to him.
Maple Leaf Mountain.
"To be honest, this is actually my hometown. I used to come to the mountains to play. Once when I was shooting a location nearby, I found an old red handkerchief tied on the branch of a maple tree. The screenwriter heard me tell it
After this incident, I suddenly got inspiration and changed the last scene in the movie to what you see now."
It could be heard that although the man said he was sorry, his tone was actually a bit proud, and he looked somewhat proud.
But soon, he sighed again: "Being too famous is actually a double-edged sword - after the number of tourists increased because of "Winter Maple Red", the shopping street and nearby hotels were happy. But on the contrary, from then on,
After that, many people came to camp on this mountain without permission, and some were like this..."
He raised his hand and pointed to the tree above his head covered with red handkerchiefs: "Tie a red handkerchief to the tree. The owner of this mountain has complained to me countless times.
"In addition, the crew and the receptionist knew that I knew this mountain very well, so they forwarded all the relevant questions raised by major customers to me, such as 'Are there any similar scenic spots around' and 'Can you take me to shoot the scene?
Look at that tree on the ground' or something like that...
"I came here today actually because a guest wanted to see the tree with an old red handkerchief tied around it that inspired the screenwriter. The trees on this mountain all looked the same, and I forgot where I was at that time.
I have seen it since I wandered around in the morning until I found it now, and I am almost exhausted."
At first, Mao Lilan and others listened with great interest to the gossip behind the creation of this drama.
Later, as I listened, I found that the assistant director was beginning to express his bitterness, and suddenly I had a vague premonition in my heart.
Sure enough, not long after, the man changed the topic and said with a smile: "So, can you do me a small favor?"
He raised his hand and made a "little bit" gesture.
"What are you busy with?" Jiang Xia hurriedly spoke before anyone else, taking the initiative to take the conversation to prevent the man from being rejected directly by Moori Kogoro, who was in a bad mood.
Jiang Xia has always been very patient with this kind of abnormal events that suddenly pop up on the road, and is willing to understand them in depth.
"That's it. Didn't I just say that someone asked me to help find the 'source of inspiration' for the screenwriter?"
Listening to his tone, the man felt funny and quickly explained: "I have found the tree, but I forgot to note the customer's mobile phone number, and it was mixed with other numbers. I'm afraid if I send letters to each of them to ask.
It disturbs other guests. There is no way to notify him.
"There is a 'red tree hotel' in Yamaguchi, and the guest lives there. There is always 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, I will take you there].”
After saying that, he smiled helplessly: "I didn't expect it took so long to find the tree. If I went to see him by myself, I would have to go down the mountain, accompany the client up, and then go down again... It was too much. I had to
Thank you"
Belmod glanced at him, then looked at the nearby trees, thoughtfully.
Mao Lilan was more attentive and asked one more question: "If you leave a message, what name should be noted? What should I do if the guest can't see the message? Does he have any characteristics? We can directly relay it to him."
"Just write ホヅミ for the remarks." The man turned over the notebook 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 the appearance of that guest - we only chatted on the phone and never met in person. However, don't worry that he can't see it. He has already arrived at the hotel in the morning. I said, 'One
If I have news, I will go to him. If he is not here, I will leave a message on the notepad in the lobby, so he will probably look at it."
