Chapter 823 Chocolate

Fenchuan Hyouka took out a few more photos and said, "Because there are no such black shadows in other photos, I guess it was the blood stains on the lens at that time."

Mao Lilan also said: "We put other films in and took a few test shots, and indeed such black shadows appeared."

Yuya looked at the photo, which was taken towards the sky. Apart from a few black shadows, there was also the white sky and a dry tree. It really looked like a photo that was taken by chance after being knocked down.

"In that case, Mr. Erheng was killed during the day?" Youye said thoughtfully, but isn't this a bit strange?

At this time, Grandma Chiyo also came back.

"Before 8 o'clock in the evening, the piece of chocolate with Jiagui's name on it should have been in the cabin. So when was it placed on the body?"

Grandma Chiyoko suddenly said in a low voice: "Could it be that there are other things in this forest besides us? For example..."

"For example?" Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko showed frightened expressions.

Chiyoko said with a sinister expression: "For example, wild wolves, snow girls, etc..."

"Huh?" The two girls immediately hugged each other.

Youye said somewhat weakly: "At this time, mother-in-law, please stop joking."

But Chiyoko's mother-in-law said seriously, "I'm not kidding. You've heard the rumors, haven't you?"

Yuya:...Who would believe in something like that?

"Come to think of it," Itakura Hajime suddenly said, "Before I met you, I saw a suspicious guy in the forest. He was wearing a black knitted hat and was quite big."

"I thought it was a bear and I almost shot it."

A black knitted hat? Mao Lilan was stunned, as if she remembered something.

Conan and Yuya couldn't help but look at each other.

Yuu shook his head imperceptibly, while Conan nodded thoughtfully.

"Xia Ye, it must be Xia Ye, I'm going to pick him up!" Suddenly, Funakawa Hyouka seemed to be possessed, muttering Xia Ye's name and walking towards the door.

"No, Bingka, it's snowing so heavily outside, it's too dangerous!" Gan Liyazi hurriedly grabbed Fenchuan Bingka.

But Fenchuan Hyouka seemed not to have heard it and walked desperately towards the door.

"He died a long time ago in the avalanche four years ago!" Gan Liyazi shouted.

Fenchuan Hyouka was stunned for a moment. She looked back at Gan Liya in a daze, then squatted on the ground with her face covered and burst into tears.

"Who is Xia Ye?" Youya asked Miyano Shiho in a low voice.

Miyano Shiho whispered, "He is Miss Ako's brother. He disappeared in an avalanche four years ago."

Gan Liya patted Konakawa Hyouka's shoulder soothingly and explained, "Natsuya is my brother and was once Miss Hyouka's lover."

"I see." Yuya nodded slightly.

Mao Lilan suddenly realized: "The chess chocolate made by Miss Hyouka..."

Gan Liyazi nodded and said, "Yes, it was prepared to be used to commemorate my brother. He loved chess very much when he was alive."

“We put up a tombstone in the forest, right next to the tombstones of the boss and his first wife.”

Grandma Chiyoko said, "In fact, there are more than just the tombstones of these three people. There are many other tombstones of victims in this forest whose identities are unknown and no one has come to claim them."

"But due to the destruction by animals in the mountains, only the tombstones of the three of them are still intact."

Yuya couldn't help but ask: "Why are their tombstones the only ones not destroyed?"

Granny Chiyoko thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because I take Saburo to worship every day?"

Sakumi Yuzo suddenly said, "Since we know there are other people in the forest besides us, then the murderer is most likely that guy, right?"

Itakura Hajime agreed, "It must be the guy wearing the black knitted hat."

"Really?" Youye touched his chin thoughtfully. For some reason, he always felt that this scene had a strong sense of déjà vu.

It seems like I have encountered a similar scene before.

Itakura Hajime made the same analysis: "I don't know when Erheng was killed, but the one who put the chocolate next to him must be the murderer, right? You guys were all in the cabin before eight o'clock, then you put the chocolate in the cabin and went to the forest to look for Erheng, and then you found the body together, so you can't be the murderer.

I met you near the cabin. I think you had just set out to look for Erheng at that time. It would take at least 20 minutes to walk from the cabin to the location where the body was found. I didn't have time to put any chocolates there."

Sakumi Yuzo also said: "I don't have time either. At around eight o'clock, I was still far away from the cabin, and I saw with my own eyes the avalanche burying the tunnel."

Suzuki Sonoko said, "If there's an avalanche, we can hear about it by listening to the radio, right?"

Yuya denied it, "No, when I called the police just now, they said that the avalanche had just been broadcast on the radio, so he must have seen it with his own eyes."

Jiujian Yousan smiled smugly, and suddenly looked at Gan Liyazi: "But there is still one person, Miss, you have enough time to put the chocolate over, right?"

"Huh?" Gan Liyazi showed a confused expression.

Sakumi Yuzo said proudly, "You guys went out to look for Mr. Niyoko once before, right? You must have prepared a piece of the same chocolate in advance, and then killed the man at that time and put the chocolate away. Then when you went out to look for him the second time, you just secretly took the chocolate from the kitchen and threw it away, right?"

"No, it's not!" Gan Liyazi denied loudly, but could not utter any words to defend herself.

Fenchuan Hyouka retorted, "That's impossible!" She picked up the last photo taken, "When we went out, it was already snowing outside. If it was really Ako who took this photo, then there would definitely be snowflakes in this photo, right? Look, are there any snowflakes in it?"

Sakumi Yuzo took a look and saw that there were indeed no snowflakes, but he still said stubbornly: "But chocolate..."

Fenchuan Hyouka snorted coldly: "When I finished making the chocolate, I took photos to save the images. I just developed them. You can see it after you take a look, right?"

She took out the photos of chocolates she had taken at that time.

Yuya took the photo and compared it with the chocolate he brought back from the body.

Soon You raised his head and said, "Indeed, except for some melted and sunken areas, the rest of the parts, whether it's the shape, the text or even the decorative patterns, are exactly the same."

Fenchuan Hyouka said: "That's right, if there is really someone who can make two chocolates exactly the same, I really want to meet such a person!"

Chiyoko looked at Sakumi Yuzo coldly: "So, your reasoning is completely wrong!"

Sakumi Yuzo quickly waved his hands and explained, "Isn't this a good idea? Now that none of us are suspects, the only one left is the suspicious man in the knitted hat wandering in the forest, right?"

"Now that we know the murderer is not among us, we can sleep peacefully tonight."

"Yes, yes. We will both go to rest first."

After saying that, they left the living room together.

Yuya looked at the backs of the two people with a thoughtful expression.
