With the old woman's consent, Qin Zhibo and Fen Chuan found a windowless bathroom and walked in with photo developing equipment.
Set up the equipment in a fixed position, first prepare the liquid used to develop the photos, prepare the developing tank, and configure various lights.
Developing photos is divided into two steps, developing the film and developing the photos.
Among them, developing black and white film does not require a darkroom, just a dark bag.
Qin Zhibo has art and craft (photography) skills, which include the knowledge of photo development, so he can easily handle the photo development work.
Fenchuan was a little surprised when he saw Qin Zhibo's fluent technique.
"Your technique is very skilled, almost as good as a professional photographer like me."
"Excellent. I usually follow some goals in my work. Developing photos independently is a basic skill."
Qin Zhibo arranged a reasonable application scenario for the source of his skills, which made Fenchuan less surprised.
"Yeah, I heard that being a detective means you have to know a little bit about everything."
"Roughly the same."
Qin Zhibo was noncommittal, and then asked in an extremely casual tone: "You seemed to have said before that you were Mr. Futugaki's official photographer. Why didn't you go with Mr. Futugaki to take pictures of Japanese wolves this time?"
When this matter was mentioned, Fenchuan's eyes changed slightly and his expression was startled.
After a pause for two seconds, Fenchuan replied weakly: "It's because of some things."
Qin Zhibo put aside the developer prepared in the measuring cup, turned to look at Fenchuan, and asked solemnly: "Actually, what Mr. Futagaki wants to photograph is not Japanese wolves, right?"
Qin Zhibo saw Er Yuan's actions when taking photos in the guard totem. He was never looking at the ground, but focused on staring at the trees.
In other words, staring at the sky.
No matter how much Japanese wolves evolve, they will never be able to run into trees or into the sky.
After Qin Zhibo finished speaking, Fenchuan's body trembled slightly, and he nodded slowly after a long time.
"Er Yuan asked me not to tell anyone about this."
"Two years ago, Eryuan and I were going to shoot a documentary on the theme of forest wildlife protection, so we came to the vicinity of this villa."
"But in the forest near the villa, we saw something even more incredible than wild animals."
"It was a pink creature with a pair of huge wings that just flew through the sky."
"Its flying speed is not slow. I didn't see it clearly. It might be an insect or something else, but it is definitely not any known creature on earth."
"Er Yuan asked me to take a picture quickly. I was stunned for a while because of nervousness and surprise, and then I raised my camera and took a picture of the thing."
"But when I came back to develop the photos, there was nothing captured in the photos. There were only slightly blurred spots in the sky where the creature flew by."
"Fujiaki insisted that I missed the best opportunity to shoot. From then on, we parted ways."
After listening to Fenchuan's story, Qin Zhibo roughly understood what happened.
The pink creature Futagawa and Fenikawa saw should be Mi-GO.
Mi-GO is composed of another type of material, and its body has different electronic vibration frequencies, making them unable to be captured by ordinary film.
Previously at Shanni Temple, some monks said that tourists had taken pictures of something, but they could not see it in the photos.
Futagaki and Fenikawa once saw Mi-GO, which shows that Mi-GO is indeed present here.
As for now, MI-GO will not leave until the special minerals in a mountain are mined.
"So you and Mr. Eryuan were a couple before, and you broke up because of this reason?" Qin Zhibo guessed.
Fenchuan was startled, shook his head quickly, and denied: "Fujia and I are just in a working relationship. I had a boyfriend before."
"Before?" Qin Zhibo realized the key point in his words.
Fenchuan nodded with a heavy expression, "In an avalanche accident four years ago, my boyfriend Xia Ye died together with the owner of this mountain village."
"Oh" Qin Zhibo remembered that the old woman seemed to have mentioned that her old man died four years ago, "I'm sorry."
"It's okay." Fenchuan forced a smile on his face, "I'm relieved now."
Your expression is not one of relief.
Qin Zhibo did not express his inner judgment, but instead asked: "What about Miss Yazi? When did she become Mr. Futugaki's girlfriend?"
"It was about half a year before the avalanche happened. Ako is Natsuya's younger sister. It was also through Ako's introduction that I started working with Futagaki."
"oh"
Qin Zhibo nodded, having figured out the relationship between these characters, and continued the photo development work at hand.
The film is developed first, then the photos.
"I need to turn off the lights."
"Um."
The lights in the small toilet suddenly went out. Although some fluorescent stickers were posted in advance to mark the location, Fenchuan still had to let his eyes adapt to the darkness first.
Qin Zhibo is more convenient. You can just turn on the night vision device and start working easily.
At the same time, everyone waiting in the living room was also talking.
Conan still didn't give up about the video recorder. Although Qin Zhibo was setting off smoke bombs for himself, he also reminded that the video recorder should have previously recorded tapes.
At Conan's reminder, Mouri Kogoro borrowed the previous video tape and watched it.
But the content inside was a life vlog of several people making chocolate yesterday. It made Kogoro Mouri yawn, and he felt sleepy in his brain.
At this time, the hunter duo mentioned something that excited everyone present.
"Oh, by the way, before I met you, I once saw a suspicious guy in the forest."
"He was wearing a black knitted hat, he was quite big, and he was carrying something on his shoulders."
"I thought it was a bear and almost shot me."
With just a few words from the spectacled hunter, the fear of everyone in the villa reached its peak.
However, the bald hunter comforted him: "Actually, there is no need to worry. It is so windy and snowy outside now that the guy has no place to spend the night. Sooner or later he will come to the villa."
"He will show his true colors when the time comes."
The wind and snow were still blowing outside the villa, and a tall figure stepped resolutely on the snow.
The cold wind was blowing like a knife on the man's angular face, unable to reveal a trace of hesitation.
Normal people would look for a warm place on such a windy and snowy day, but this man was carrying a tent on his shoulders and was preparing to sleep outside.
The man's name is Kyogoku Makoto, and he is Suzuki Sonoko's suitor and quasi-boyfriend.
The two officially got acquainted during a beach trip, establishing an unusual and ambiguous relationship as friends.
But some time ago, Kyogoku went abroad because he wanted to participate in an international karate competition, and he and Suzuki Sonoko entered into a long-distance relationship.
Needless to say, there are shortcomings of long-distance relationships. In short, the relationship between the two quickly cooled down, and the contact between them became less and less.
Until today, a gossip newspaper photo sent by a friend in the morning completely ignited Kyogoku's small universe.
That was a photo of Suzuki Sonoko cuddling up to another dark-skinned man.
Kyogoku, whose head was so green that he was worried about the competition, immediately took the earliest flight back to Japan.
