Chapter 057: The Forest at Night

"Mr. Katayama, you have to take a cat with you even at this time........."

Night soon came, and even the eerie forest as a tourist attraction no longer had tourists crouching at the door to take pictures, which meant that it was time for them to act.

"Uh...... I'm not in it to cry ......."

Katayama responded casually, and in response to him was Zorro's cat's paw face...... Of course, Zorro didn't use his claws, but only slapped Katayama with the meat balls on his cat's paws.

When Inoue saw them like this, he didn't say much.

………

Walking to the entrance of the forest, the two of them looked at the black oppression, and couldn't help but be a little scared.

The forest at night was more terrible than during the day, and the rustling of the trees by the breeze sounded creepy, but other than that, there was no more sound.

"Alright, let's go inside."

Inoue cheered himself up and prepared to walk inside, with Katayama following closely behind with Zoro in his arms.

He originally wanted to send Zorro in to explore the way first, but he didn't expect this girl to be so reckless, so he had to follow.

Inoue's speed is extremely fast, Katayama has to trot to keep up with her, and the physical fitness of a reporter is different.........

At this time, Zorro suddenly broke free of Katayama, jumped to the ground, and grabbed Katayama's trouser leg.

At this moment, Katayama also dragged Inoue back and hid behind a tree with Zoro......

"Mr. Katayama...... Is there a situation? ”

Inoue saw Katayama's nervous expression and asked a little scared, but it was Katayama's silence that responded to her.

He doesn't know! It was simply Zorro who stopped him, and he guessed what the situation should be.

"Meow ......"

Zorro climbed up Katayama's shoulder again, grabbed Katayama's cheek with his two paws, and moved his gaze to a tree......

He squinted his eyes and looked closely...... Finally, a small red light was spotted on the tree...... It's the camera!

There's a camera over there...... Meaning, are there cameras everywhere in this forest?

But if so, why are people still missing?

Where the people who entered the forest went, you should be able to know by adjusting the monitoring!

"There...... There is a camera ......"

Katayama pointed to the top of the woods, and Inoue also noticed the presence of the camera after looking at it for a while.

"Here...... So what should we do? ”

Inoue was a little panicked, if he was caught on camera, the man who looked like a security guard would appear and drive them back again...... That's how it can be good.

Katayama picks up a stone from the ground...... If you use enhanced bracers, you should be able to knock the camera down, but if the camera suddenly breaks, they will still be exposed.

Sure enough, what secrets are hidden in this forest......

Inoue and Katayama both thought so, now that the secret was in front of their eyes, how could they let the opportunity go like this.

The two are still struggling...... A terrible scream came from the depths of the forest, leaving Katayama and Inoue stunned.........

The lights suddenly came on in a nearby hotel...... Tourists staying at nearby inns also seemed to be woken up by the scream......

"Out of ...... Something went wrong? ”

Inoue reacted at this time, and the light of countless flashlights shone into the forest, and many tourists also gathered around the perimeter of the forest.

"I think we'd better go out first."

Katayama hugged Zorro and went around the camera...... It's easy to get out.........

There was a circle of people outside, and Katayama and Inoue quickly blended into the crowd.

The owner of the inn was the leader...... He was standing in front of everyone, maintaining order and not wanting to let people into the forest.

"I think something must have happened in the forest, why don't we call the police?"

Some tourists suggested, but the innkeeper ignored him and continued to persuade everyone not to go into the forest.

But the more he did this, the more agitated the crowd became, until the voice of the suggestion to call the police had overshadowed the voice of his shouting, and he had to respond.

"Guys, we're not sure if something really happened, so let's search around the periphery of the forest, and wait for daylight in the depths of the forest to make plans."

He seemed reluctant to call the police, so he took a step back and let all the tourists into the outer edge of the forest, and Katayama and Inoue followed suit.

"Ahhh!!hhh

Shortly after entering, a tourist screamed, causing everyone to gather around.........

"Dead ...... Dead! ”

There were more and more onlookers, and Katayama desperately pushed away the people on the periphery and squeezed in with Zoro and Inoue.

There was no way, Conan was not there, and he was deeply skeptical about the Japanese police's ability to solve the case, so he could only quickly let Zorro take a look.

Unexpectedly, it was the owner who drank with the secretary in the hotel who died.........

He was lying on the ground, his face purple, probably caused by suffocation...... Strangulation marks on the neck...... It was supposed to be strangled.

The clothes were messy, and the buttons on the collar were completely loose...... He should have fought desperately before he died, but he still died.

Zorro stood next to him and sniffed...... The man in front of him still had a lot of dirt on his body, and it felt as if he had just crawled out of the dirt.

"Don't be stunned...... You're a journalist. ”

Katayama pushed the well next to her, motioning for her to record the crime scene first

Inoue immediately took out his camera and took pictures of the corpse from all angles.........

"Let it go, let it ......"

The innkeeper pushed everyone away, saw the corpses inside, and sat down on the ground with a look of incredulity......

"How is he...... It shouldn't be...... It shouldn't be him........."

The innkeeper muttered to himself, and Katayama silently put him on the list of suspects, there was definitely something wrong with this guy.

"This ...... It doesn't seem to be dirt......"

Katayama pinched a little dirt and rubbed it in his hands...... It's too fluffy and doesn't have the graininess of the earth.

"It's ...... The nutrients for cultivated fungi are made of lime, grass ash, urea and other materials......"

Inoue recognizes this kind of soil...... It's not dirt either.

"However, since someone has died, let's call the police first."

Katayama saw that Zoro no longer looked at the body, and estimated that it had seen almost enough, so he stood up and proposed to call the police.

“………”

As soon as he mentioned calling the police, the innkeeper's expression became unnatural, and even the shocked look just now was completely gone.

"This forest has secrets, and it's secrets enough to kill people."

Katayama looked at the forest, and then glanced at the innkeeper, he became more and more concerned about what this man and this forest were hiding.

It seems that Ke Xue's pet matter is no longer so important.........
