——Just now, after asking Jiang Xia and the others to leave a message for the guests in the Red Tree Hotel, Homi stayed there and waited for the customers to go up the mountain to meet up.
He rested for a while on the way, and when he regained his strength and got bored, he wandered back from the shooting location to the tree with the old handkerchief tied around it, wondering why the guests were looking for this tree.
Then I happened to see several peripheral members of the organization that Toru Amuro had recruited.
Previously, Toru Amuro discovered that there were bones hidden under the tree, so he sent people over and asked them to hide nearby and prepare to wait and get evidence that Watanuki Tatsumi hid the corpse and the cadres of the organization - this is probably Watanuki Tatsumi.
The reason three was caught by Epimetheus was also the reason why he leaked the secret to the other party in this transaction. With this, he can almost make a report to the organization.
After the peripheral members arrived nearby, they discussed under the tree for a while, installed some equipment, and then each found a place to hide.
Bomi didn't know what was going on, but he only saw those few people from a distance who looked fierce and not friendly, so he didn't dare to get close.
He hid behind a thick tree and watched for a while, and finally pretended that he was just a passing tourist and returned to the place he had made an appointment with Watanuki Tatsuzo.
At the same time, his mind moved slightly, and he noticed some inconsistencies - this customer was very generous and seemed to be very obsessed with the tree. But at the same time, the customer never took the initiative to contact him, and his whereabouts were somewhat secretive. In addition, the customer did not take the initiative to contact him.
What happened just now...
It seemed that the guest was interested in more than just the tree and the old red handkerchief on it.
But there is something else hidden.
...For example, what kind of treasure is buried there, and both groups of forces are looking for it? He has heard a lot about such treasures hidden in the mountains. The group of people just now may be installing detection equipment.
Thinking of this, Mimi's eyes lit up slightly.
It just so happens that he is very tight recently, and he doesn't know if he can force a guest to join him. After all, if there is really a treasure hidden under the tree, then the little traveling fee he received is really meager. This can be compared with
"Finding a tree that can inspire screenwriters" is not a price point.
ホヅミ has been on the set all year round, has seen a lot of dramas, and has some experience on how to be a qualified Riddler.
After simply straightening out his thoughts, he looked at Watanuki Tatsuzo, who was walking towards him, and showed a mysterious smile: "I found the tree."
"Really?!" Watanuki Chenzo smiled honestly and sounded surprised.
When he was about to say something, he checked his voice to see if Mimi noticed anything wrong with the tree.
Before he opened his mouth, he heard ホヅミ change the subject, and there was a hint of threat in his tone: "Tsk, tsk, there is something terrible hidden there, I saw..."
Mari wanted to say that he saw someone wandering nearby, and he must be the customer's competitor. Without him, a local to guide the customer, the customer would never be able to catch up with the excavation, and then there would be a wave of price increases.
As a result, as soon as I started talking, I felt a sudden chill in my abdomen.
Severe pain followed.
"You know too much."
The gray-haired Watanuki Tatsuzo changed his appearance from the kind old man just now, looked at him coldly, and then pulled out the short sword stuck in Mimi's body.
ホヅミ: "..." Wait, this, this is completely different from the promised direction...
All the strength in his body seemed to drain away from the wound, and ホヅmi suddenly fell into a pile of dead leaves. His trembling lips moved, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should shout "Help!" or whether he should say "I actually don't know anything."
Ah"...the dim light dissipated from his eyes. At the last moment of his life, a sudden movement occurred in his mind. He used all his strength to catch the book he had dropped on the ground.
…
Toru Amuro was hiding behind a tree with Jiang Xia, observing secretly.
According to Amuro Toru's idea, the normal process is that after the two people had a brief conversation, they walked together to the place where the bones were hidden - this process would be recorded by cameras hidden near the burial ground and by peripheral members of the organization, and became Target Five.
There was irrefutable evidence of infighting within the same group years ago, which further revealed the reason why he was caught by another organization.
However, as the mountain breeze carried the conversation between Homi and Watanuki Tatsuzo, Toru Amuro gradually felt that something was not right.
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he heard a scream under the maple tree - Watanuki Chenzo suddenly drew his sword and pierced Mimi with one blow.
Toru Amuro: "..."
He actually wanted to save Mimi, an innocent passerby. After all, Watanuki Chenzo's past had little to do with the organization, so there was no need to strictly follow the confidentiality principle and kill everyone who knew about it.
But I didn't expect...it was too fast. The threats and silence came too quickly.
Jiang Xia was not the only one around, but there were also some other peripheral members of the organization. Toru Amuro sighed inwardly, maintaining the emotion that Bo should have, turning a blind eye to the loss of a life, and continued to watch indifferently, pretending that he had no intention of first aid and helping.
Call an ambulance.
After Mian Guanchen finished killing everyone, he snorted coldly, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
He also knew that his behavior of "paying a lot of money to ask someone to find an old tree with a red handkerchief tied to it" was a bit strange. But if the money was spent less, the TV station probably wouldn't send someone to help him find the tree. But if it was spent more, it would be
Like now, it will arouse the vigilance of some paranoid people.
The worst-case scenario Tatsuzo Watanuki had prepared before was that after Minami found the maple tree and discovered the accident out of curiosity, he would immediately call the police. That would cause big trouble.
Fortunately, this stupid person did not do that, but chose the method of "threat"... Mian Guanchen and the other three straightened their collars in a humane manner, dropped the body, and prepared to let their younger brother handle it at night, while they themselves started
Swirling around.
——Since ホヅミ discovered the secret of the bones, it means that he must have dug up the soil.
In other words, I don't need this idiot to lead the way. I just need to walk around the neighborhood and see which tree has been turned over, and I can easily find the target.
A minute passed.
Five minutes have passed.
Half an hour passed.
Watanuki Chenzo looked around at dozens or hundreds of trees, but found nothing.
When it got dark, he kicked the tree trunk next to him in annoyance. The branches and leaves rustled, and there was a faint voice from the camping place in the distance. Watanuki Chenzo glanced over there, didn't stay any longer, and left it angrily.
Corpse, quickly return to the direction of the hotel.
…
"..."
After waiting for a moment and seeing that he was indeed gone, Toru Amuro and Jiang Xia walked out from behind the rock where they were hiding.
When Toru Amuro walked to the side of Mimi and knelt down to check his vital signs, Jiang Xia glanced at the fresh shikigami that passed by him and chased after Watanuki Chenzo, preparing to grab the murderer's leg.
Then he withdrew his attention, turned back to look at the body on the ground, thought for a while and said: "I thought Watanuki Tatsuzo had obtained the detailed address from Mr. Mimi, but now it seems that he did not. In this way, he dared to kill people...
