Conan: Begins to collaborate with Miss Bayonetta and become famous

The fire has been put out.

"You...you said Mr. Lao Tiao died?"

"How...how could it be?"

"Yes." Baijiu pointed to one side: "He was killed in the bushes near the pond next to this hotel."

"There are deep claw marks on the back, which should be considered a fatal injury."

"You...you mean claw marks?" Lao Fang was shocked: "Could they be claw marks like those left by a tiger?"

Baijiu's expression became serious. "No, it's a little bigger than a tiger's scratch. There are four scratches about 10 centimeters apart."

Lao Fang put his hands on his hips and asked with full conviction: "How is this possible? Are you kidding me?"

"Who is kidding you?" The little monkey interrupted Baijiu's words with a sinister smile on his face: "It's Nue!"

"He must have been killed by that giant demon!!!"

"Legend has it that the nue's limbs are like a tiger's!"

"I thought it was an old man, but I didn't expect a real monster to appear." Lao Bai sighed.

I thought...it was Weng?

"what do you mean?"

Lao Bai shook his head: "It's okay, I was just talking to myself."

Baijiu asked: "He Ye, did you call the police just now?"

"Yes, we did call, but this is deep in the mountains and the police can't get here right away."

He Ye crossed his hands and became uneasy: "But even if the police come, they can't do anything to that monster..."

"You can rest assured about this." Baijiu raised the corner of his mouth: "How can something like that be real?"

"That must be some kind of trick." Baijiu moved his nose: "There is a smell of kerosene wafting from this burned area."

The monkey retorted, "But! Aren't there big scratches on the back of the body?!"

Heiji analyzed, "I think Mr. Laojo was probably stabbed in the back by the criminal, and died of exhaustion after struggling to escape."

"The prisoner just cut a long scar on the wound."

Baijiu added: "He is right, and added three more wounds next to it."

"So that people would think he was attacked by a nue. The only one who could do this is Mr. Lao Er who called Mr. Lao Tiao here, right?"

"You are very suspicious." Baijiu stared at him, observing the changes in his expression.

“No, no, no…” The second brother’s forehead was instantly covered with sweat: “Actually, I was asked to invite you all!”

He wiped the sweat stains and raised his finger: "Someone sent me the notebook that I showed you at dinner, along with the letter and the money."

"If we call these four people here, the golden legend will become popular again and will be enough to revitalize the countryside!"

"I will also enclose a letter addressed to the four of you, saying that the letter you have received will definitely come. It is in the letter I sent to you."

"There's another envelope, right?!"

Everyone nodded. The little monkey scratched his face and asked tentatively, "You mean the letter about the landslide accident 16 years ago?"

"But, having said that, it is also possible that you are lying." Lao Fang glared at him sharply.

"I'm not lying!" The second brother defended, "Even the hotel and rooms you stayed in were designated by the other party."

"Alright." Baijiu signaled everyone to be quiet: "If you have anything to say, wait until the police arrive."

"Until then, please stay in your room."

"By the way." Baijiu reminded: "Please let me keep anything that makes sound, such as a cell phone."

"Because that strange cry might have been made by someone using a machine."

"Wait a minute." He Ye raised his hand and asked, "If it is really as the village chief said."

"Everyone sleeps in a room designated by someone."

"Something might have been done in that room, and it seems that our room is the one where the foreigner who died in the landslide accident was."

"A room I've lived in before." When he said this, He Ye couldn't help but shudder: "I really want to exchange rooms with someone else."

"Are you telling the truth?" Lao Fang asked.

"Yes! I will never tell lies!" He Ye Banzheng's actions combined with his serious expression made him look very cute.

She added: "Inside the drawer, we also found the notebook that person used to practice writing hiragana."

"There are other notebooks that we haven't opened yet."

"Oh? That sounds interesting." Lao Fang rolled his eyes: "How about I switch rooms with you guys?"

"No, I think I should go to that room." Old White stroked his beard: "I can't let the lady have such terrible memories."

The little monkey asked, "Then, can I move to the room on the third floor?"

Baijiu looked at him threateningly, his eyes revealing a strong murderous intent: "That doesn't matter, but you are not allowed to step out of the room."

"Whoever comes out I will treat as a prisoner."

After a while, everyone returned to the room, and Baijiu and his group stood outside with Lao Er.

The village chief had a white rope tied around his head, and he was holding a broom in his hand, jumping back and forth.

"I see. From here, I can see everyone's room at a glance."

He held the broom tightly, frowned, and said firmly: "Even if that monster attacks again, we can work together to repel it!"

Lao Er stroked Baijiu's muscular body and said, "Young man, you are strong enough if it comes."

"You will be in charge of attracting the enemy from the front, and we will be responsible for attacking from the sides and the back!"

"But..." Baijiu smiled awkwardly: "Why are you here too, Village Chief... Go back to your room and have a rest."

"That's right, village chief, just leave it to us~" Conan blinked his cute big eyes.

"That won't do!" The village chief resolutely refused: "Although I was asked to do this, I was the one who called everyone here!"

"As the village chief, I have an obligation to protect everyone's safety."

"Okay..." Heiji smiled bitterly: "Then I can take this opportunity to ask you properly.

"What do you want to ask?"

"Did the person who sent you the letter state the reason for calling those four people here?"

"Oh." The second brother raised his eyes and looked into the room.

"Old White is an archaeologist. He knows a lot about the geology of Shizuoka. It seems he has investigated the area around here before."

"Not just in Shizuoka Prefecture, he also went all over the country to excavate ruins until a few years ago."

"They are both critics for programs related to relics. They are quite famous."

“Although he disappeared from television after the rumor about the fake excavated earthenware came out.”

At this moment, after reading the notebook, Old White angrily threw it to the ground, gasping for breath.

Anxious! He is anxious!
