pure sky

"What?!" Sawano jumped up from the sofa in surprise.

"Why? Lawyer Serizawa, didn't you look at him?" Junko asked quickly.

"He went to the bathroom and insisted that I wait outside the door. I thought, look outside the door, he can't run anywhere, but who knows he will escape from the window!" Serizawa anxiously Angry, remorse wished to punch himself a few times.

Enomoto ran to the window of the bathroom, and by the light of the house, he saw a row of footprints under the window leading directly to the forest behind the house.

Sawano followed Enoki itself, saw the footprints on the snow, thought for a while, and said, "I think Kikugawa Castle must be looking for a treasure."

Beicun heard the words but retorted: "How do you know that he is looking for the treasure? He is a murderer. He should think of running away at this time, right?"

"For him, the treasure is the most important thing!" Serizawa said bitterly.

Junko looked at Enomoto and Sawano thoughtfully, and couldn't help asking: "Enomoto-san, Mr. Sawano, what should we do now? Are we going to chase Kikugawa Castle?"

"Of course we have to chase after him. How could such a vicious murderer just let him run away with the treasure!" Serizawa really hated that Juchuan Castle escaped under his hands.

Enomoto and Sawano looked at each other, then nodded.

※※※

After tracking the footprints of Juchuan Castle on the snow for more than half an hour, Fujimura was too tired to walk.

"Yiren, why did we go out to chase Juchuan City together? It's so dark and cold, I don't want to go, let's go back."

Beicun patted Fujimura on the forehead and reproached him: "You are stupid, this is to find the treasure, if you don't go, the treasure will not be yours."

"But……"

"Don't worry, it's been so long, keep going."

"..."

As Sawano walked, he took a flashlight to look around the terrain so that he could compare it with the map on his phone to prevent getting lost or going in the wrong direction.Sawano's mobile phone must pass through the base station to connect to the GPS positioning function, so in the place where the mobile phone has no signal, you cannot use GPS positioning to judge your position, you can only judge by the surrounding terrain and direction.

After walking for more than an hour, the group bypassed a mountain depression and climbed up a hillside, but the footprints of Juchuan City that they had been following stopped abruptly here.Looking at the appearance of the snow on the hillside, a small avalanche occurred not long ago. Although it did not cause much damage, the footprints of Juchuan City were completely buried.

"What should we do now? Do we continue to chase down? But the footprints are gone!" Bei Cun asked anxiously.

Enomoto looked into the distance and said, "Although the footprints are gone, but the whereabouts of the footprints of the Kikukawa Castle is where the treasure is. As long as we go to the location of the treasure, the Kikukawa Castle must be there."

Sawano thought for a while, handed the phone to Enomoto, and said, "It looks like we have to climb over this mountain first. You have the best sense of direction. I'll give you the map. You will lead the way, and I'll break it down."

Enomoto nodded, took the phone, and said to Mikoshiba: "Miss Mikoshiba, you are more familiar with the terrain here than we are, can you please lead the way with me?"

Mikoshiba didn't say anything after hearing that, but he still walked to Enomoto's side.

More than half an hour later, the group finally climbed over the hillside with difficulty and came to the location of the treasure shown on the map, a very hidden small valley.However, looking around this valley, apart from the white snow, there are towering cedars. Where is the treasure?

"Is there really a treasure here?" Beicun looked around with a flashlight, but couldn't find any place that looked like a treasure.

Enomoto checked the map again and again, and then said: "As shown on the map, this should be the place."

"But where do you think there is a place to hide treasures here?" Beicun was a little discouraged. It's a cold winter night, so could it be that their trip was for nothing?

Serizawa couldn't get used to Beicun's tone, and retorted: "Mr. Beicun, if the treasure can really be seen through by someone like you, it would have been poached by someone long ago. Which round will be yours?" !"

"You..." Although Kitamura was angry, thinking about what Serizawa said made sense, he reluctantly fell silent.

"Well, let's split up and look around to see if there is anything wrong, but remember, don't go far alone!" Enomoto urged everyone.

Everyone got the order and started looking around.

"Enomoto-san!" Junko called Enomoto loudly as if she had discovered something.

"What's wrong?" Enomoto asked, walking over.

"Look at this bush. It looks like it's been turned over."

Enomoto carefully observed the bushes, and said, "If it's not a beast, it should be Kikukawa Castle."

Enomoto paused after speaking, and exchanged a glance with Junko, then stepped forward and walked deep into the bushes, Junko followed Enoki herself step by step.

The slender light of the flashlight can reach a limited range, and Enomoto and Junko have traveled a long distance without any major discoveries.It is very dangerous to be alone in such snow, and the two of them dare not go far.But just when the two were about to go back the same way, Junko suddenly felt that her feet were sinking, as if she had stepped on cotton.

"what--"

Seeing this, Enomoto quickly stretched out his hand to hold Junko, but the force of Junko's fall was so great that Enomoto was caught off guard and unprepared. Not only did he not hold Junko, but he was pulled by Junko and fell together. At the bottom of the hard pit.The snow around the entrance of the cave and the dead branches and leaves under the snow also fell one after another, hitting Enomoto and Junko's bodies, causing pain and pain.

Junko brushed away the snow and dead leaves on her body, sat up, rubbed her aching forehead, and said in a mournful voice, "Why is there such a big hole, it hurts me to death!"

Enomoto also sat up, patted the snow on his body, and looked around with a flashlight, and said, "Actually, I noticed a small hole here before, but I thought it was just an ordinary small hole, but I didn't expect it The surroundings of the cave are hollow, and I didn’t expect there to be such a big pit under the cave. I was too careless, if you stay away from the cave carefully, you won’t miss out.”

Junko heard the words and said quickly: "I can't blame Enomoto-san, I didn't pay attention to my feet. Enomoto-san fell down together to save me."

Enomoto looked at the deep pit with a flashlight.This is a pot-shaped pit, the upper bottleneck is very narrow, but the lower ampulla is very spacious.

Under the light of Enomoto's flashlight, Junko noticed something shining faintly on the ground, Junko walked over to pick it up, and was taken aback.

"Enomoto-san, look at this."

Junko handed the thing to Enomoto, Enomoto took it and looked at it, it was a watch, very new in condition, obviously it had just been left behind.

"Enomoto-san, if I remember correctly, this should be Kikukawa Castle's watch." Junko said, holding her chin, thinking again and again.

Enomoto looked at his watch and said thoughtfully: "It seems that the small hole I saw was not originally there, but was caused by the fall of Kikugawa Castle."

"You mean that Juchuan City also fell down? But what about others? Although this pit is not too deep, it is impossible to go up it by one's own strength."

"There."

Enomoto moved the light of the flashlight to somewhere behind Junko, and Junko followed the light to see the entrance of a hole as tall as a person.
