Not too far below them, there was a large platform that was naturally formed.
It was very sturdy.
Before Conan landed on the ground, he saw a corpse under his feet.
The corpse looked like it had fallen from above.
Conan dodged it and jumped to the ground.
The corpse was already rotten. Even from far away, he could smell the rotting smell.
While he was inspecting himself, he called Tian Yumei, who was in charge of guns, down.
Gun Tian Yumei used to be a coroner.
So, when it came to examining corpses, she was better than Conan.
Conan watched her every move from the side.
However, in the end, he was carried away by Mauliland who arrived later.
This was not something a child should be watching.
Corpse. They had accepted Miss Gun Tian's mission this time.
After putting these two pieces of information together, Conan had a guess in his heart. This might not be a simple accident.
Or ….. this accident hid something else that they needed to find.
The age of this corpse was around 20 years old.
Compared to the corpse itself, this person's clothes were still intact.
Conan had already examined them before they came.
There was nothing in the pockets that could identify this person.
The corpse had been dead for at least a few months.
Her face was already rotten beyond recognition.
Mauliland was not used to this kind of scene.
She carried Conan to the very end of the platform. There was a very tall tree there.
When they reached the side of the tree, they found that the scene before them was different from what they had imagined.
Below them was not an empty valley.
They saw a very large village.
The neatly arranged houses covered a large area.
Miss Gun Tian Yumei's autopsy was finished.
When Conan discovered this, he immediately broke free from Mauliland's arms and ran to Gun Tian Yumei's side.
Did you find anything special?
He asked her anxiously.
This corpse should have fallen from the top.
This was Gunda Yumei's judgment based on the corpse's appearance.
However, the degree of decomposition of the corpse was too high.
Some things might no longer exist.
Therefore, they still needed to confirm it.
Little Conan told Gunata Yumi at this time.
There was a village up ahead.
The dead man they found was probably from that village.
They could go there and ask about the people who had gone missing in the past few months.
Everyone, including Mauliland, agreed.
If he couldn't return to his family.
Then this person and her family would be too pitiful.
In this group of people, the only ones who weren't good at sports were Tanaka Yumei and Tachibana Zuojin.
Conan was a little impatient, so he simply ran in front by himself.
In the middle of the village was the village chief's house.
Conan asked the passersby on the street and quickly ran over.
He had also mentioned the disappearance to those passersby, but that passerby was a little old. After careful consideration, he only told them to look for the village chief.
The village chief was a young man.
This made Conan feel a little surprised.
Looking at his age, he might not be as old as him.
Maybe he was a little younger than the guy in Itō.
The village chief looked at him with a cold face.
After a while, he left here.
About five minutes later, the village chief quietly appeared in front of Conan.
His face was still expressionless. He threw the book in his hand to Conan.
Then he threw out a sentence: Everything you want to know is here.
He left again.
This was the information of all the villagers in this village.
Including the birth of a newborn baby, the natural death of the elderly, illness or accidents.
Conan quickly turned to the information of the last few months.
He found that three people in this village disappeared during this period.
These three were all women.
They were also in their twenties.
There was a girl named Horie Miyuki. She lost contact with them when she returned from Tokyo.
Her family didn't even know where she was.
They were still waiting for their daughter to go back.
Another woman, Matsuoka Aii, lived alone.
She had no family.
But all the people in this village took care of her.
They didn't know when she left.
But one day, one of them cooked something delicious and invited her to eat with them.
Rina Komatsu was a girl who ran away from home.
That day, after she had a big fight with her parents, she left without looking back.
When her parents found out that she didn't come home that day, they began to worry.
They began to try to contact her.
Did they ask them to find the identity of the victim?
Conan began to ponder over this information.
But soon, Conan rubbed his hair.
This was impossible.
Such a thing didn't need to be investigated at all.
Then, it must be the other missing people?
In any case, they still had to meet the families of those people first.
At this time, several other people also rushed over.
They went to Horie's house and Komatsu's house according to the clues provided by the village chief.
They asked about what happened before their daughter disappeared at that time.
The two families were surprised by their appearance.
Miyuki Horie had an older brother.
Their parents were a little too old.
And they had suffered such a blow.
He didn't want them to be exposed to such a cruel thing again.
So he was fully responsible for it.
The DNA identification was barely possible.
The two families had a contradictory feeling of wanting to find their loved one, but they didn't want to be told that she was dead.
In the end, their results were denied.
The deceased was not related to them by blood.
Aii Matsuoka had no relatives.
Gun Tian Yumei found some things that she had used in her house.
In this way, they finally confirmed the identity of the corpse.
The old neighbor who lived next to Aii Matsuoka still didn't believe it.
"How could that child …"
"This coat is Rina's."
When the matter was about to come to an end, Rina Komatsu's parents wanted to see the person who was mistaken for their daughter.
However, it was such a look full of pity.
This led them to discover something unexpected.
Rina Komatsu was wearing this coat when she left home.
Rina Komatsu's mother suddenly became very excited.
Although they lived together with Aii Matsuoka in this village.
But they weren't very close.
Their daughter's clothes didn't make sense on her.
Their daughter … The Komatsu couple had already guessed it.
She had been missing for so long.
She shouldn't be able to come back.
But they just didn't want to admit it.
Now they just wanted to know where Aii Matsuoka had been before she died.
They had seen the two missing people before.
This was a conclusion that could not be any more obvious.
However, it wasn't easy to find where Aii Matsuoka had been before she died.
In the past few months, even if there were any clues, they would have disappeared by now.
Why was Aii Matsuoka wearing Rina Komatsu's clothes?
Why did she run here?
She even slipped and fell from the top?
Conan returned to the top again.
He didn't know when Zuka Tachibana came with him.
Zuka Tachibana immediately pointed out his thoughts.
"You suspect that they were all taken away by others, right?"
In response to this question, Conan only revealed a very confident and certain smile.
The puppet Zuka Tachibana was still so lively. He pointed to Zuka Tachibana exaggeratedly and said that this guy also said the same thing.
The broken road here wasn't so urgent.
Even for those who were passing by in a hurry, it was not easy for them to fall from this side.
Except … there was something blocking in the other direction.
They had to take the risk to leave here.
Without evidence, these could only be guesses.
When Conan and the others came here, they walked along the same road.
But there wasn't only one way to leave from here.
Conan and Zuka Tachibana naturally chose the other road this time.
The characteristics of this road were simply the opposite of the one they took.
They didn't walk far before they encountered a fork in the road.
Conan looked at each of the two roads. In the end, he chose the road on the right and ran over.
This road looked like it had been walked by someone.
Using the same method, Conan walked very far. He and Zuka Tachibana finally saw a small house appear in front of them.
Zuka Tachibana covered his mouth with his hand.
Then the two of them and the puppet carefully approached the house.
There didn't seem to be anyone in the house.
When this matter was confirmed, Conan and Zuka Tachibana both breathed a sigh of relief.
Zuka Tachibana exaggeratedly said that he could finally breathe.
At this moment, his hand was already behind his head.
He said that Zuka Tachibana used too much force just now.
