"Robbery and murder?!" Tsukamoto Sumi and Sonoko were all surprised.
Shu Yunwen nodded, then glanced at the messy campsite, frowned and said: "Detective Yuesui, you seemed to have said before that Yamaguchi Eri probably came to camp in the mountains with her companions, right? Assume that these dead people
He is her companion, so is it possible that she was killed on the way back from shopping..."
"...This is unlikely." Koshimizu Nanatsuki shook his head slightly, then pointed at the messed up ground and explained:
"Look at the things on the ground. There are still unfinished beers, drinks, unfinished snacks, etc. It can be seen that they have brought enough things and there is no need to go down the mountain to purchase. Also, their
There are only five camping backpacks, sleeping bags, etc., as well as other daily items that prove that they only belong to five people..."
"This means that Yamaguchi Eri...has nothing to do with them!"
"Then...Eri Yamaguchi is...is there anyone else camping in the mountains?" Sonoko asked immediately.
Koshimizu Nanatsuki pondered: "I don't rule out this possibility... However, speaking of which, the things purchased on Yamaguchi Eri's shopping receipts are not only bought when camping. For example, if there are many friends gathering at home
, and may also be purchased. If Yamaguchi Eri did not come to camp, but had friends gathering somewhere to buy things, then she was probably robbed and killed somewhere else."
"...Also, I always feel that some of the places I saw before are strange...huh?!"
Suddenly, Koshimi Nanatsuki seemed to have thought of something and ran quickly out of the woods.
Shu Yunwen, Tsukamoto Sumi, and Yuanzi quickly followed and asked, "Detective Yueshui, what's wrong?"
"Footprints! That string of footprints!" Koshimizu Nanatsuki said with a solemn expression, "You still remember the string of footprints from the observation deck leading to the river before us, right?"
Yuanzi nodded and asked: "Remember, what happened? It seems that someone was earlier than us and came to the viewing platform to enjoy the cherry blossoms..."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki continued to explain: "The person who arrived earlier than us seemed to have driven here, but he only left footprints where he parked his car and where the observation deck leads to the river. Don't you think
Is it weird?"
"If he came to enjoy the cherry blossoms, he would at least leave some footprints on the railings of the observation deck? But he didn't!"
"In other words, he didn't come here to enjoy the cherry blossoms, but had other things to do. After he finished that thing, he drove away directly..."
"Something else?" Tsukamoto Sumi was stunned for a moment.
Shu Yunwen frowned, vaguely guessing what Koshizu Nanatsuki meant, and said: "Detective Yuesui, you mean that that person is here..."
"The corpse, he should be here to dispose of the corpse?" As Koshimizu Nanatsuki spoke, several people finally ran out of the woods and went directly to the observation deck, where they looked at the footprints on the ground together.
Shu Yunwen and the others walked to the wooden railing, glanced briefly, and then said: "Yes, although the footprints here are messy, there are indeed only the footprints of the five of us, and there is no sixth person..."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki carefully walked to the place where the car had been parked before, squatted down and looked at the traces left on the ground, and smiled: "It seems that my reasoning is correct. That person should have come here to bury the body."
.The depth of his footprints is very different when he goes back and forth. When he goes there, it is deeper, but when he comes back, it is much shallower. Moreover, there are still traces of the shovel left on the ground here..."
Shu Yunwen also walked over and took a look, then looked at the set of footprints walking towards the river and said, "If I remember correctly, that person's footprints didn't reach the river, but disappeared halfway there, right?"
"Yes, he buried the body in the woods here." Koshimizu Nanatsuki stood up and asked seriously, "Shu-san, didn't you find anything unusual in the woods over there just now?"
"No." Shu Yunwen shook his head, "You guys found the five corpses before I even searched there. I heard Yuanzi's shouting and went over immediately..."
"...But, after all, this is near the observation deck. Occasionally there will be campers in the woods to pick up dry branches and mushrooms. If that person really buries a body here, maybe he will be discovered in the future?"
"That's right." Koshimizu Nanatsuki nodded and said with a smile, "So, he probably buried the body in a place that other people generally wouldn't go."
"protected area!"
"Well..." Shu Yunwen squinted his eyes, stretched out his hand to hold his chin, and said with a smile, "Okay, anyway, let's go take a look in the woods over there first. If we can find Yamaguchi Eri's body,
That’s easy to say.”
Koshisui Nanatsuki smiled slightly: "Shu Sang, I'm going to trouble you about finding the corpse."
Shu Yunwen nodded, and then walked with Sonoko, Tsukamoto Sumi, and Nanatsuki across the water along the path, observing the footprints on the ground, towards the river.
A few people walked about a hundred meters, and the unfamiliar footprints on the ground walked west into the woods.
Shu Yunwen and the others also entered the woods. Shu Yunwen turned on his [Yin Yang Eyes] to observe the surroundings. After careful inspection, he finally vaguely saw some Yin Qi and ghost Qi——
After all, this is the Yin Qi and ghost Qi that remain after the corpse has been moved. It is not like the corpse itself, but it is still too weak. In addition, it is a forest now and the trees are shadowy. It is really difficult to detect it if you don't look carefully.
Discovering the remaining Yin Qi and ghost Qi, Shu Yunwen led the way and soon walked outside the barbed wire fence of the protected area deep in the woods. He took a look inside the woods and said, "Detective Yueshui, what you said is really right.
, it seems that the murderer buried the body in the reserve."
"Did you find the body?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked immediately.
Shu Yunwen replied: "I didn't see the body, but I roughly saw the place where the body was buried."
Inside the protected area, in the woods about a hundred meters away in front, there is a dense cloud of yin and death energy.
The body... is probably buried there!
"Then let's go and take a look together." Koshimizu Nanatsuki ignored the "danger" warning sign on the barbed wire fence, grabbed the barbed wire fence with both hands, and began to climb up.
"I want to go over and have a look too! Hahaha, Sister Shumei, let's go together!"
Yuanzi also grabbed the barbed wire fence with both hands and was about to climb up. Then, as if he remembered something, he covered his skirt, turned to look at Shu Yunwen, and warned: "Master Yunwen, please don't peek!"
"Peeping... uh..."
Shu Yunwen had a black line on his head and turned around slowly - Damn it! Who cares? Brother, there are female high school students in my house after class~ Who cares about you!
By the way, what colors do they wear and what kind of fat (embarrassing) times do they wear~
Hmm...we're just a little curious, don't think too much.
…
"Student Shu, I just went to see it. There is a cliff not far to the east, and there is a forest below, so... eh? Uh... uh..."
Koizumi Anko flew back on her magic broom and circled around the campsite where the body was hanging, with a confused look on her face——
Damn it, where is the person we promised?
I went out and flew around, why was there no one when I came back?
