My neighbor's name is Conan

Chapter 836 Demon Dog Attack

Inufu Zen also chimed in: "But he seemed very scared, so he didn't say anything."

Inufushi Chiaki also said: "It feels like the murderer is among the four of us."

Inufushi Koko then said, "It was only after we returned here that we heard about Mr. Shinichi's death from Miss Saki who stayed behind to look after the house."

Maori Kogoro looked at the four people and asked, "So, have you four been together all the time in Tokyo?"

Inufushi Yukihime shook her head and said, "No, we went together, but came back separately."

"Inubushi Koko, but isn't it time to tell us now?" Inubushi Koko looked at Maori Kogoro and the others and asked, "The clues you found in Mr. Shinichi's case, I remember you said that it seemed to be related to the cases of the deceased Hotaru and Migako."

Aoki Matsu thought for a moment and said, "We are still unable to confirm whether there is any connection, but the murdered Mr. Shinichi had something in his mouth, which was the pearl on his tie clip."

After hearing what Aoki Matsu said, several people from the Inufushi family showed expressions of shock at the same time.

Seeing this, Qing Musong quickly asked: "What's wrong with you?"

Inubushi Yukihime replied, "Ah, no~" and then said after a pause, "Because a small steel ball also fell beside Mr. Hotaru, who fell off the cliff and died just like Miss Saki."

"Small steel beads?" Qing Musong raised his eyebrows. "They're not pearls, but small steel beads?"

Inufu Zen also said: "That uncle loves playing with small steel balls. I thought it fell out of his pocket."

Inufushi Chiaki said with some fear: "And, and after that, I also found ping-pong balls on the water surface near the swamp where Miss Migako died."

Hattori Heiji raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "They are all spherical."

"This means that pearls are not the message left by the deceased before his death." Kogoro Mori said with a frown.

Qing Musong nodded when he heard this: "It looks more like a message left behind intentionally by the murderer."

Mao Lilan suddenly remembered something when she heard this, and looked at Yuanshan Heye, "So, could it be..."

Toyama and Ye also thought, "That's the same?"

Mao Lilan quickly said to Aoki Song and Mao Li Kogoro: "Dad, something appeared after Miss Saki was taken away by the ambulance."

Yuanshan Heye replied, "There is a glass ball rolling next to the dog's grave!"

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji quickly asked, "Glass ball? Did you take that?"

Mao Lilan shook her head: "No, I thought it was a tribute and placed it on that grave."

Upon seeing this, Hattori Heiji immediately turned his head to look at Yamamura Sou, then looked at him and said, "In that case, let's go take a look at the glass ball. Inspector Yamamura, do you want to go with us? I also have something to ask you."

Shancuncao was stunned for a moment, then responded, "Oh, okay."

It seems like he was the one who was questioned by the Detective Inspector Hattori Heiji last night!

However, Cao's greatest advantage is that he knows his own limitations. At the scene, there is Matsu Aoki, the police inspector who has solved many strange cases, and two famous detectives, Kogoro Mori and Heiji Hattori, so he just lay down obediently.

Hattori Heiji then looked at Toyama Kazuha and Mao Lilan and said: "Kazuha, you two just wait here obediently..."

Seeing this, Yuanshan Heye said unconvincedly: "Hey, we want to go too, we were the ones who discovered it!"

Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji knew how to hit Toyama Kazuha's weak spot and said, "Ah, you can come if you want. If you want to encounter the demon dog..."

"Ah, yes, that's right!"

"Just wait here!"

Suddenly, Toyama Kazuha and Mao Li Ran didn't want to go anymore.

It turns out that the person who knows you best is your childhood sweetheart.

Matsu Aoki, Ayumi Maruta, Kogoro Mori, Heiji Hattori, Conan and So Yamamura drove to the grave under the cliff.

On the way, everyone also learned other information about the case from Shancun Cao.

"There was a call record from the Inufushi family in Ms. Zuo Ji's mobile phone!" Aoki Matsu raised his eyebrows and said.

Yamamura Cao nodded, "Yes, about two hours before she fell off the cliff!"

"From this point of view, the four adopted children are even more suspicious!" Hattori Heiji said, "They suddenly called her when she was out, delayed her return home, and waited until it was pitch dark before ordering the dogs to attack her. This possibility is very high!"

"Huh? Aren't there three people?" Maori Kogoro was stunned when he heard this. "Ms. Yukihime has an alibi!"

Aoki Matsu shook his head: "Miss Yuki is also suspicious. If it was a dog attack, even if she was with us at the time, she could have secretly used the dog whistle to commit the crime, right?"

"Because Miss Yukihime is right below the cliff..." Hattori Heiji shrugged and said, "The only person who is not suspicious in that house is the unconscious Granny Su."

The car quickly arrived at the tomb under the cliff. After getting off the car, several people walked straight to the tomb, squatted down, and looked at the glass bead placed on the tomb.

Hattori Heiji looked around and said, "They look like ordinary glass beads!"

"It is indeed an ordinary glass bead." Qing Musong said after taking a look.

"There are small steel balls, ping-pong balls, pearls and glass beads!" Maori Kogoro said puzzledly: "What exactly does the murderer want to express?"

"That's it! That!" Shancuncao said excitedly, as if a flash of inspiration had occurred to him: "As long as it mentions dogs and beads..."

Maori Kogoro heard this and said carelessly: "Hey! You! Are you going to come up with some stupid joke again?"

"Huh!?" Shancuncao was stunned.

Hattori Heiji tried to smooth things over by saying, "Whatever it is, tell me about it."

Conan also said: "Maybe you can give some clues."

Shancuncao's words were not entirely profound, but occasionally a word could indeed give him a hint.

Shancun Cao didn't say anything, "No, since I've been told it's boring, just forget it!"

Seeing that Yamamura Cao was not going to say anything, Maori Kogoro and the other two were stunned at the same time.

Aoki Matsu smiled when he heard this.

Don’t underestimate Brother Cao!

Brother Cao also has a temper!

Then Maori Kogoro came to his senses and grabbed his collar angrily, "Hey! You guy! Stop keeping me in suspense! Tell me now!"

Shancuncao, who was grabbed by the collar, turned his head away and said stubbornly: "I don't want it! I will never tell you!"

Seeing this, Kogoro Maori could do nothing about Cao Ge, so he could only let him go, take the small path to the cliff, and survey again.

Maori Kogoro looked at the ground with a flashlight and said, "Indeed, there are traces of burnt grass."

After checking, Hattori Heiji said, "The rope on the edge of the cliff has also been cut."

"And the warning sign has also been pulled out." Conan followed.

Upon hearing this, Shancuncao pointed behind him and said, "The road signs at the fork in the road have also fallen down."

Maori Kogoro suddenly realized and said, "I see. On a dark road like this, with no road signs, warning signs or ropes, and being chased by a dog, it's not surprising that you'll fall headfirst off a cliff."

Looking at the cliff, Yamamura So said: "The question is, was the one who attacked the victim the so-called Flame Demon Dog?"

"How could it be a demon dog? This must be man-made." Aoki Matsu said.

"Humph, demon dogs can't possibly exist. This is simply a psychological trap." Maori Kogoro also echoed: "Because of the legend of the demon dog's curse, plus the footprints on fire, someone just deliberately made people mistakenly believe that demon dogs really exist, and painted fluorescent paint on the dog to make it glow."

Upon hearing this, Yamamura Cao asked, "Yes, painted with fluorescent paint?"

Maori Kogoro said confidently: "Because things that don't usually glow glow, people will mistakenly think they are on fire."

[No! It shouldn't be fluorescent paint, because that would be too easy to distinguish.] Aoki Matsu thought to himself.

Shancuncao asked again: "Then what about the footprints on fire? Didn't they smell like oil?"

"How could that kind of thing be lit one by one using gas lamps?" After hearing what Yamamura Sou said, Kogoro Mori looked at him speechlessly.

Suddenly a cell phone rang.

“Ding ding ding…”

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Hattori Heiji took out his cell phone and saw that it was Toyama Kazuha calling him. After answering the call, he asked, "What's the matter, Kazuha? We still need a little more time here. If you are sleepy, it's okay to go to bed first... What!"

Suddenly, Hattori Heiji's voice rose several degrees.

"The demon dog appeared in Inufu City?!!!"

"what!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and then they ran to the bottom of the cliff to get the car and immediately turned around and rushed to Quanfu City...

***

Let’s go back in time.

After Aoki Matsu and others went to find the glass ball, Maoli Ran and Toyama Kazuha followed Inufushi Yukihime to the kitchen.

Then Mao Lilan said to Inufushi Yukihime with an apologetic look on her face: "I'm sorry, we came here uninvited, but we still have to stay here and let you entertain us."

Inufushi Yukihime shook her head and said gently, "It's okay, don't mind it."

Toyama Kazuha couldn't help but look at Mao Lilan and asked, "Will Heiji and the others come back before dawn?"

Mao Lilan shook her head and said, "I don't know."

"I'm afraid it will be even more difficult in the future. In the past, Miss Saki was the one who arranged the cooking and the cleanup afterwards. Miss Saki did it all for us." Inubushi Yukihime couldn't help crying as she spoke.

Mao Lilan saw this and quickly said to her: "Let us do something to help you."

Hearing this, Inufushi Yukihime looked at the two and said, "Well, could you please help feed Hachi?"

Toyama Kazuha and Mao Lilan nodded quickly, "Okay."

"I asked Sister Koko and the others to feed it, but they refused." Inubushi Yukihime said embarrassedly when she heard that.

Mao Lilan asked in confusion: "Why is that?"

Toyama Kazuha also said, "Ms. Koko seems to be very familiar with dogs."

"Yes, Sister Koko seemed to have had a dog before coming here, so she knows a lot about dogs." Inufushi Yukihime explained, "Because she had to make a phone call to arrange the funeral, she couldn't split herself up, and Mr. Chiaki was bitten by a dog before, so he hates dogs very much and always looks a little scared. Xiaoba also always barks at him.

Mr. Zenya is allergic to dogs. If he gets too close to a dog, he will keep sneezing and having a runny nose. So, usually it is me, Koko-san, or Saki-san who feeds him. Can I trouble you?"

Yuanshan Heye: "Yes, it's OK."

Mao Lilan asked, "Where is the dog house?"

Inufushi Yukihime immediately stammered and said, "It's a little far."

Mao Lilan was stunned when she saw this. "It's a bit far. Is it outside this house?"

Inufushi Yukihime shook her head and said, "Don't worry, it's at the innermost part of the yard. Because it's surrounded by a wall, the demon dog can't get in."

"Yeah, that's true." Mao Lilan looked at Yuanshan Heye and said, "Well, let's go, Heye."

Yuanshan Heye responded: "Well, let's go."

After that, Toyama Kazuha and Mao Li Ran turned and left the kitchen, then walked out of the house with dog food and a flashlight to find Xiaoba's doghouse.

Just as the two put the dog food in front of Xiao Ba and Xiao Ba was eating it with relish, Xiao Ba suddenly looked up and barked "Woof woof woof!" towards the distance.

Seeing Xiao Ba suddenly yelling fiercely, Mao Lilan asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Toyama Kazuha and Mao Li Ran looked in the direction that Xiao Ba called, and then they saw a ray of light around the corner not far away.

"What is that?" Yuanshan Heye looked over there and asked, "Is there something glowing over there?"

After Toyama Kazuha finished speaking, they saw the light getting bigger and bigger, and then a dog with flames on it rushed out from the corner and ran straight towards them. Seeing this, Toyama Kazuha and Mao Li Ran widened their eyes in horror.

Looking at the demon dog running straight towards them, Toyama Kazuha and Mao Li Ran couldn't help but scream, and immediately stood up, turned around and ran back quickly.

"Ah!" Yuanshan Heye was tripped by a stone.

"Get up quickly! We're almost at the gate!" Seeing this, Mao Lilan immediately turned around and pulled up Toyama Kazuha, and ran towards the door while speaking.

Then the two of them ran to the gate in one breath, opened the door and ran in, while the burning demon dog was still chasing them from behind.

After closing the door, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

The screams of Toyama Kazuha and Mouri Ran were heard by everyone in Inubushi Castle and they all came to the gate.

Inufushi Yukihime asked, "What happened to Xiaolan?"

Inufu Kouzi also frowned and said, "What's going on? Why are you yelling so loudly?"

Mao Lilan said in horror: "It's a demon dog!"

"The demon dog appeared in the yard!" Yuanshan Heye also said.

"Demon dog?!"

Everyone was stunned.

Inufu Zen was also a little speechless and said, "Don't talk nonsense, how could it appear in the mansion!"

Inufushi Yukihime said with some fear, "Could it be...it crossed the fence and came in here?!"

Hearing this, Inufu Koko shouted, "How is this possible? This is simply too unbelievable!"

"No matter what, it's very dangerous now. Everyone, don't go out for the time being." Inubushi Chiaki said to everyone worriedly.
