My neighbor's name is Conan

Chapter 839 The Legend of the Eight Dogs

"Speaking of names, there is a strange legend about the names of us adopted children," said Inubushi Yukihime.

"What is the legend of your name?" Hattori Heiji asked immediately after hearing this: "What is it?"

[The murderer is probably one of the remaining adopted children. Who is the murderer who controls the Flame Demon Dog to attack the adopted children of the Fushi family one after another? ]

"I heard that Mr. Shinichi, who died in Tokyo, also had his name changed to this before his father applied for a birth certificate," said Inubushi Yukihime.

"It was changed before?" Kogoro Mouri was stunned.

Inufushi Yukihime nodded. "Yes, I remember him saying that his original name only consisted of the character '仁' (Jin) in Renyi."

"Then why do you want to change your name?" asked Hattori Heiji.

"It seems that only the word 'Jin' is too simple." Inufushi Yukihime said uncertainly: "So my father changed his name for him. This is what Mr. Shinichi said himself."

"The character '仁' does have fewer strokes, and it sounds simple as well." Hattori Heiji frowned and said, but this reason was too ridiculous.

Inubushi Yukihime continued, "Also, if Miss Koko was a man, my father would use the word 'kao' for consideration and 'ji' for season, and call it 'kaoji'.

If Mr. Zenya is a woman, we can use the character "Yu" from Yutenji Temple and the character "Hua" to name it "Yuhua". If Mr. Chiaki is a woman, we can use the characters "Haru" and "Chi" to name it "Chiharu".

"Are these names you mentioned really the ones given to you by President Hengdi?" Conan asked curiously.

"Yes, the deceased Mr. Hotaru, Ms. Migako, and Ms. Saki also said so." Inubushi Yukihime confirmed.

Hattori Heiji didn't know what he was thinking when he heard this, and smiled evilly, "It seems that there are some secrets hidden in these names."

"Yeah." Conan agreed with shining eyes.

"I don't think so!" Aoki Matsu interrupted.

"Uh..." The smiles on Hattori Heiji and Conan's faces suddenly froze.

Mao Lilan saw this and asked quickly: "Brother Aoki, why do you say that?"

"It's very simple. Judging from the names of Miss Yuki and others, it's easy to think of the eight words 'benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, loyalty, trust, filial piety, and brotherhood'. This is one of the Confucian ideas of the flower-growing family. It is also reflected in the culture of Neon.

"Miss Yuki, your last name and the name of this place easily remind people of the masterpiece of Edo-era drama written by Kyokutei Bakin, the longest masterpiece in the history of classical Japanese literature, "The Legend of the Eight Dogs of Nanso Satomi," Aoki Matsu replied.

"The protagonist of the story of the Eight Dogs is a person from the eight states of Kanto (now Kanto) whose surname has the character "犬", which just happens to fit the Inufushi family. I think President Hengdi must be like this, so he insisted on giving birth to eight children and deliberately named them: Ren, Yi, Li, Zhi, Zhong, Xin, Xiao, and Ti.

Mr. Shinichi's original name, 'Ren', is the first of the eight virtues, and he changed his name not because it was simple, but because it was too direct. The single radical of 'Shen' and the two horizontal strokes above 'Yi', when combined together, form the character 'Ren', right?

The word "义" is made of the traditional Chinese character "义", which is the upper part of "美" and the character "我" in "美我子小姐". "考子小姐" is the radical of "考" plus the character "子", which is "孝". The boy's name is "孝纪", which also has the same radical.

Mr. Zenye, the simplified Chinese character "礼" can be formed by combining the radical of "示" with the vertical hook of "也". Mr. Chihuang can be formed into "智" by removing the "光". The murdered Mr. Yingci is "忠". Ms. Zuoji is "信". Ms. Xingji is "玉梓". President Hengdi is "悌", and Ms. Suochen can be formed into "姬" by removing the "沙" character, so she is called "公主".

Speaking of "The Tale of the Eight Dogs", everyone knows this famous book, and suddenly I was a little dazed. This seems to make sense! And President Hengdi did say that he wanted to protect the princess.

"The Tale of the Eight Dogs of Minamisato Satomi" is a novel written by literary giant Ryusawa Bakin. The story is set in the middle of the Neon Warring States Period and the Muromachi Period. The main stage is located in the border of Awa Province, which is now the southern end of Chiba Prefecture in Neon.

The story tells about Princess Fukime, the daughter of Satomi Yoshimune, the lord of Awa domain (daimyo), who was cursed by Tamazusa (the concubine of the castle lord who was executed by Yoshimune for being promiscuous and seducing the lord of Takita Castle, Kamio Mitsuhiro, into drinking and sex) before her death. She was taken to the mountains by her beloved dog Hachifusa (who was actually possessed by the vengeful spirit of Tamazusa) and lived with him as a couple.

One day, Fu Ji was told by a fairy boy who suddenly came to visit that she was pregnant with a beast's child, so she committed suicide out of shame. At the moment of her suicide, the child in her belly flew away in the form of "air", combined with the rosary that Fu Ji wore, which had eight beads with words of virtue written on them, flew high into the sky and scattered in all directions.

In order to save Fu Ji, he went into the mountains to look for someone and happened to see this scene. Jinwan Daifu, who was originally engaged to Fu Ji, then took the remaining 100 beads to become a monk and began his wandering journey to find the eight scattered beads.

After Fukihime's death, young people with the character "犬" in their surnames and born with peony-shaped moles on their bodies (Yafu had eight peony moles on his body) were born in various places in the eight provinces of Kanto (now Kanto). They were Hafu and Fukihime's sons who were reincarnated as humans with the "energy" of Fukihime, the protagonists of the story, the Eight Dog Warriors.

Guided by fate, the Eight Dog Warriors gradually gathered due to encounters in various occasions, and finally came to the Satomi family to serve as officials. When the Satomi family was attacked by a large army composed of many daimyo generals including Ogigayatsu Uesugi Sadamasa, the Eight Dog Warriors, who were active on both land and sea, finally won the battle and finally became the lords who protected the Satomi family.

It can be said that "The Tale of the Eight Dogs" is a perfect match with the previous situation of the Inufushi family. Even some imperfections in the earlier period were made "perfect" by President Hengdi - such as having eight children.

In addition, in Japan, a country that still talks about the aristocracy of the old times, it is not uncommon for rich people to find a very impressive ancestor for themselves.

"But..." Inufushi Yukihime asked hurriedly after hearing this: "The murderer of these murders is among us adopted children, and his goal is to use the demon dog to make our Inufushi family childless?"

"There is no way to confirm this at the moment. Maybe someone is using some method to carry out a series of killings. This should be correct." Hattori Heiji said confidently: "But I have already picked up the clues about the mechanism of this demon dog."

As he spoke, Hattori Heiji took something out of his pocket.

"What is this piece of cloth used for?" Yuanshan Heye asked hurriedly when she saw this.

Aoki Matsu looked at the piece of cloth in Hattori Heiji's hand and had a guess in his mind.

"This piece of cloth fell not far from where Mr. Chi Huang was attacked by the demon dog." Conan said.

Hattori Heiji looked at Aoki Matsu proudly and said, "Although there are no signs of burning and no smell of gasoline, it is certain that it has a special purpose."

At this time, Inubushi Koko saw Inubushi Yukihime go to the living room to call for help, wondering why she hadn't come back for so long. She came over by herself, and happened to hear what Hattori Heiji said. She said righteously, "Since you found such an important piece of evidence, why don't you hand it over to the police immediately?"

amount……

This is not the habit of Hattori Heiji and Conan. They are only "well behaved" in front of Aoki Matsu, and they still return to their old ways at other times.

Hattori Heiji was immediately stunned by the question and said awkwardly, "No, I was planning to give it to that police officer."

"Also, Yukihime, there's water boiling on the stove." Inubushi Koko looked at Inubushi Yukihime and said.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Inufushi Yukihime apologized immediately, "I was planning to go back right away."

"In that case, let's go have dinner first." Kogoro Mouri stepped forward to smooth things over.

After arriving at the restaurant, Aoki Matsu and his friends sat down and started eating right away. Hattori Heiji and Conan looked deep in thought.

Aoki Matsu was calm and composed. Everything had already been arranged. It all depended on whether the murderer would panic after the police arrived and jump into the encirclement on his own initiative.

After eating a few bites.

Yuanshan Heye suddenly took out his mobile phone and asked Mao Lilan: "Hey, Xiaolan, do you know the answer to this question?"

Mao Lilan said: "Well, 'Please put on your glasses and think about it' should be the hint!"

Hattori Heiji was very puzzled when he saw this and asked: "What are you two doing?"

Mao Lilan replied subconsciously: "The two of us were watching the nightly rerun of the quiz show."

Yuanshan Heye followed up and said, "It's quite interesting."

"But you should go to bed too, it's already past one o'clock," Conan said.

Hattori Heiji also said, "Isn't the quilt already laid out in the guest room?"

Mao Lilan said fearfully: "But when I think about the demon dog wandering around here..."

"I'm so scared that I can't fall asleep!" Yuanshan Heye replied.

"You guys!" Hattori Heiji was convinced by these two women.

Seeing this, Toyama Kazuha pointed her phone at Hattori Heiji and said, "Can you solve this puzzle? If you can, I'll go to bed."

Mao Lilan looked at Conan and said confidently: "Conan may be able to solve it, because he is wearing glasses!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Hattori Heiji and Conan were both speechless when they saw this.

Conan said: "So, the 'ga' in the middle of this sentence is a particle."

What a simple question!

Hattori Heiji then said: "Change the 'me' in this code to 'ne'...

Just as Hattori Heiji and Conan were solving the riddle in the video, the contestant in the video suddenly pressed the buzzer and said - The cat in the attic!

Seeing this, Hattori Heiji and Conan both had a flash of inspiration and opened their eyes wide.

Yuanshan Heye suddenly realized what was going on: "That's right! 'me' is 'ne'!"

Mao Lilan also understood and said with a smile: "Just change 'me' to 'ne', right?"

Conan and Hattori Heiji looked at each other and then laughed.

【I see】

[So this is the mechanism of the demon dog]

[In this case, the murderer will...]

[Only that person is left]

Aoki Matsu rolled his eyes when he heard this - he hadn't figured anything out yet, so he hated riddles the most.

Just then, a cry from Inubushi Yukihime interrupted them...

"Eh? Mother?"

"You said Mother fainted?!"

After hearing Inubushi Yukihime's scream in the corridor outside, Aoki Matsu and others stood up and walked to the door.

Immediately after Hattori Heiji opened the door, they saw Inubushi Yukihime and Inubushi Zenya talking in the corridor.

Inubushi Zen also said to Inubushi Yukihime: "She seemed to have crawled out of the quilt by herself..."

Seeing this, Aoki Matsu and the others did not say anything, but followed Inubushi Yukihime and Inubushi Zen to Inubushi Soshin's room, and then they saw Inubushi Chiaki and Inubushi Koko were both there.

It turned out that Quanfu Kaozi, who heard a strange noise in the corridor, came into the room and saw Quanfu Sachen lying in front of the cabinet.

Inufushi Chiaki said with some regret and horror: "This happened while I was in the toilet."

"Something fell on the ground." Qing Musong said, looking at the ground.

Hattori Heiji and Conan squatted down after hearing this, and after observing it for a while, they said, "It looks like a rosary."

Looking up from this angle, you can see tear marks on the face of the unconscious Inufu Soshin.

Seeing this, Hattori Heiji immediately walked to her bed, and after lifting the quilt, he saw a rosary in her hand.

"Wait!" Seeing Hattori Heiji behaving so rudely, Inubushi Koko hurriedly scolded him.

Hattori Heiji noticed that Inufushi Soshin was holding a rosary in his hand and immediately began to observe it.

Inufu Sachen's hand holds eight prayer beads. Counting from the top, the fourth one turns into a small celestial jade, which is also the bead representing "wisdom" among "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, loyalty, trustworthiness, filial piety, and fraternity".

[Rosary, eight, dog...]

Both Hattori Heiji and Conan suddenly opened their eyes wide - "The Legend of the Eight Dogs"!

Aoki Matsu once again reasoned ahead of them.

Suddenly, Hattori Heiji and Conan both thought that Aoki Matsu did not enter the forest cabin with them just now, but ran away somewhere unknown. Could it be that... he had seen the murderer's crime process?

After confirming that Inufu Sachen was not seriously injured, everyone returned to their room to sleep.

Because the Inufushi family's house is a traditional Japanese building, everyone sleeps on the floor in one room.

When Aoki Matsu was in a daze, he seemed to see Hattori Heiji and Conan quietly get up and slip away.

Qing Musong didn't care and didn't stand up either, because he had already arranged everything that could be arranged, and having one more person wouldn't be of much use.

If the other party doesn't go tonight, I will have to find evidence to identify him as the murderer tomorrow, so I must get enough energy.

What Aoki Matsu didn't expect was that Maori Ran, Toyama Kazuha and Maori Kogoro also couldn't sleep. After sleeping for a while, they suddenly got up and started discussing the case.
