Izu Beach is also considered a tourist attraction, and parking spaces are in short supply.
Izu Princess Hotel is not far from the place where the festival is held, only about half an hour's walk away, so the two of them walked all the way there.
As we get closer to the festival, the number of people begins to increase, and there are stalls everywhere.
Toru Amuro looked at the stalls and the terrain, secretly planned the route, and prepared to start "walking away".
But when he turned around and tried to confirm the location of his accomplice, he was slightly startled.
...where are the people?
As a professional undercover agent, Toru Amuro is very good at counter-tracking and finding people.
He looked around, but could not find Matsuda's figure, nor did he find anyone following him.
After a minute, Toru Amuro silently came to the conclusion that Matsuda probably left him and went to play on his own. After all, there were not only snack stalls at the festival, but also many interesting game stalls, which were more attractive than just empty games.
After realizing this, Toru Amuro sighed. He thought of many dumping plans along the way, but in the end, none of them were used.
However, no matter what, the result is pretty good.
With this thought in mind, Toru Amuro walked around a few times in a boring way, found his destination, and handed the information to his colleagues from the police.
…
This festival held in a scenic spot was quite lively.
After watching his colleagues disappear into the crowd, Toru Amuro raised his head and looked into the distance.
On the top of the mountain, there are three big characters burning. The first two are "天" and "下", and the last one "一" has just been lit.
Amuro Tohru calculated the time and planned to wander around for another ten minutes to show off, and then go find his accomplices.
He chose an edge area with fewer people and breathed in the fresh sea air while walking around.
However, not long after he walked around, he saw several police cars parked nearby, and then a group of police officers got out of the cars and went straight to the festival site, where they were quickly lost in the crowd.
Toru Amuro looked at it, suddenly alert.
He recalled briefly and found that he had not heard any explosions just now, so he felt relieved.
Then he returned to the festival, looked around, and finally found Matsuda in front of the shooting booth.
Matsuda started a round of the game, and except for the first shot which missed 10 rings, the rest all hit the target.
The owner of the shooting booth crossed his arms and stood silently nearby. If he hadn't been staring, he would have suspected that someone secretly measured it with a ruler and then made a hole in the center of the bullseye.
Amuro looked at the target for a while, then looked at the prize, and saw that the first prize was a huge brown stuffed bear, which stood taller than him.
"..."
Take one of these with you when you go on a mission...
Could it be that it was intended to confuse the organizer and use a huge contrast to make the two of them look less suspicious?
Or do you want to wait until the person is kidnapped and then stuff them in to avoid possible searches?
However, it was different from what Toru Amuro imagined. After all the bullets were fired, Shiraishi did not want the bear.
——When the boss reluctantly said goodbye to the store-keeper, Shiraishi pointed to the third-prize piggy bank: "Can the prize be replaced by this one?"
"Huh? Okay!" The sadness on the boss's face faded and turned into a smile in a second.
Although the ceramic piggy bank is also expensive, the purchase price is only one-tenth of that of the bear.
Shiraishi took the heavy piggy bank from his hand. When he turned around, he saw Toru Amuro also watching, so he stuffed the jar into his hand and said, "Here you go."
Toru Amuro took it and looked at it carefully.
Then he discovered that this was an ordinary piggy bank.
"..." Toru Amuro threw all the previous speculations into the recycle bin in his mind.
Matsuda probably felt itchy after seeing the gun and wanted to play with it, without even thinking about the prize...
Shiraishi didn't know what his accomplices were thinking about.
But he actually came here for the piggy bank, which looked heavy and sturdy.
This afternoon, after Toru Amuro finally stopped wandering around and stayed in the room, exuding the buff that stopped consuming the mask's time, Shiraishi found the cleaning girl who was cleaning the room nearby and asked her about the place in the woods.
Something about a few cans.
According to scientific laws, hotel staff are approximately equivalent to encyclopedias of nearby folk customs.
He did get some useful information.
——A year ago, a woman with dyed hair was hacked to death nearby, her abdomen was messed up with a knife, and her death was miserable.
Since the case occurred in a deep forest, there were no witnesses, and there was a large flow of people at the scenic spot, so no specific suspect could be found, and the case has not yet been solved.
Therefore, gradually there are rumors that the ghost of a woman has been floating nearby. So some timid staff members will put some flowers on them when they pass by, just to put their minds at ease.
The more I hear about this case, the more familiar it becomes.
Therefore, when Shiraishi came to the festival, in addition to his camera, he also hid a portable strong flashlight.
A solid porcelain piggy bank is also very useful, making it easy to throw and hit people. Bourbon is an all-rounder, so it shouldn't be thrown astray.
After the tools and the tool maker were ready, Shiraishi looked at his watch.
There are still more than fifty minutes left in the countdown to the mission of rescuing the lost lamb.
After waiting another ten minutes, you can start back to the hotel.
Shiraishi was about to catch two handfuls of goldfish and kill time when a man suddenly approached him.
He turned his head and saw that it was Suzuki Sonoko.
Suzuki Sonoko grabbed a camera and waved it pitifully in front of Shiraishi's eyes: "Well, our camera is out of battery, but we really want to take photos at the festival. Could you please help us take some photos?"
After taking the photo, I left my email address, had dinner together, and then stopped by our room to sit for a while, hehehe.
A few meters behind Suzuki Sonoko, Conan and Mao Lilan's eyes twitched at the same time.
They just saw with their own eyes that Suzuki Sonoko took the battery out of the camera and stuffed it into Conan's schoolbag.
Conan held the bag that had been messed up by Suzuki Sonoko in front of him and rearranged it.
Before Suzuki Sonoko came over, he really didn't realize that the black cat was nearby. In a way, Suzuki Sonoko's ability to find people was amazing.
However, I originally thought that the Izu Mysterious Journey would be a relaxing puzzle-solving trip, but now that the black cat is here...it seems that my nerves will be tense again.
I don't know what they are here for. Conan habitually wants to go to Shiraishi to ask about the situation.
However, after he and Mao Lilan separated from the crowd and approached, Conan was startled - the one next to the black cat was not Shiraishi. With that hair color and skin color, he looked more like a foreigner.
Wait, this person seems to have been seen somewhere...
At the same time, Mao Lilan was also looking at Shiraishi in his masked state.
When Suzuki Sonoko picked out the battery, she said with certainty that it was the "disappearing Pani" who had participated in the Magic Lovers League.
However, after Mao Lilan thought about it for a long time, she only remembered that there was a very conspicuous scar on Pani's face. As for her appearance...she had no impression at all.
However, Suzuki Sonoko said yes, so that should be correct, she has always been able to recognize faces.
