The world is restarting

Edogawa Conan was talking with Sawada Ya in the window seat when he received the call from Hattori Heiji.

This is the time when the bar is open. There are quite a few guests in the elegantly decorated lobby, drinking and flirting, but unexpectedly all of them are very qualified, maintaining the social courtesy of not disturbing others by making loud noises in public places—there are also some It may be because of the identity of the owner of the bar, even if he has no quality, he still tries to pretend.

A group of laughing delinquents near the bar was the only source of noise, but it wasn't too much.

It seemed to be a very everyday and leisurely scene, but for some reason, he always felt an anxious breath lingering in the air.

Maintaining a thoughtful state, Conan glanced at the notification of the incoming call, and didn't bother to find a quiet place, just sat in his seat and answered it directly.

Edogawa Conan: "What's the matter, Hattori?"

...Although he regretted it immediately.

"Kudou, do you have the contact information of Sawada's little sister that day, I have something to ask her... Wait, Kudo, are you at the bar?"

Over there, Hattori Heiji rushed out of the phone with a single sentence, his tone was obviously anxious at the beginning, but then he slammed on the brakes, sincerely surprised.

And the surprise is full of gossip

Edogawa Conan: "..." Can you have some priorities.

He calmly ignored the latter question, "Zetian is next to me now, just tell me what you want to ask,"

"Wait! Are you really at the bar, Kudo? Sister Sawada is by your side now, which means you take Lori to the bar in the middle of the night? Kudo? Are you still the Kudo I know?!"

Edogawa Conan: "..."

Sorry, the loli you mentioned lives in this bar.

"...If you don't talk about business, I'll hang up."

"Wait a minute, okay, okay, let me say..."

Hattori over there muttered a few words, but Conan Quan pretended not to hear it, until the voice of the guy on the other side finally got a little serious, "Hey Kudo, can you ask Sister Sawada for me, does she know the magic dog of flame?"

"Ok?"

Conan looked up subconsciously, and the person in front of him was biting a straw and looking out the window.

Her delicate side face was illuminated by the cold street lights outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and her long silver curly hair swirled down from her shoulders. Sensing his gaze, she turned her head slightly and looked over with a little doubt.

Conan didn't speak immediately, and asked the person on the other end of the phone with his eyelids pressed, "Hey, isn't it? You shouldn't be so lucky to really meet the Demon Dog of Flame, right? Didn't you just swear before that? Surely it was just an ordinary murder?"

"Well, how should I put it..." Hattori Heiji looked up, scratched his cheek with a dry smile, "The situation is a bit complicated."

Conan's calm voice came from the other end of the phone, "Oh, then wait a minute."

Then he seemed to take the phone aside and asked something, and then there was the sound of tables and chairs being pulled away.The bar music in the background and the chatter of the guests gradually faded away, and Hattori heard the sound of footsteps going upstairs on the phone, one was obviously from Conan himself, and the other was brisk and calm, with a brisk rhythm.

That little sister Zetian must be the young lady of a rich family, right?

Following the sound of footsteps, Hattori Heiji ran away briefly for a while.He remembered a few girls from real aristocratic families that he had seen before. Their footsteps sounded like this, with a unique rhythm, which was said to be the etiquette norms cultivated since childhood.Except for a few famous surnames whose ancestral names have been written in history books and have been passed down to this day, there are very few families that still raise their children in this way.

However, the surnames that can be counted on one hand do not include "Zawatian".

Hattori Heiji scratched his head, feeling that Kudo's "family friend" was really mysterious, and his instinct as a detective made him want to probe into it.

"All right."

When he was distracted, Conan and the little sister over there seemed to have changed places, and there was only the two of them in the background sound.

"I turned on the loudspeaker, just tell me, what happened?"

Hattori Heiji came back to his senses.

"Well..." He put aside the speculation he had just made, and turned his attention back to the business.

His eyes fell on the river bank directly in front of him, and the young detective showed a headache expression, "The thing is like this..."

What is placed in front of Hattori Heiji now is a picture that is enough to shatter the three views of normal people.

Obliquely to the right, a majestic big dog with flames all over his body stood in the night, his body slightly bent down and his throat rolling and growling. Along with the prelude to this attack, the flames around him were also torn by the night wind. With fangs and claws, the momentum is so violent that people will be frightened to the point of weakness at a glance.

However, a tense atmosphere was created at the scene at this time, and it was not it who was confronting tit for tat, but the handsome boy with brown short hair who stood in front of it, and the exorcist who was also invited back by Inufuzen on the opposite side.

Looking at this bald scene, Hattori Heiji sighed, "Let me start from the beginning."

In the beginning, he was entrusted by the adopted son of the Inubushi family, Mr. Inufushi Shinichi, to help him investigate the case that the other two adopted sons of the Inubushi family were killed by the curse of the legendary magic dog.

At first, there were eight adopted sons of the Inufushi family, all of whom were illegitimate children who found themselves after the death of the previous head of the Inufushi family many years ago.Patriarch Inubushi's official wife, Ms. Inubuso, and the patriarch had no children. After these children came to her door, she recognized them all and recorded them as adopted sons.

In recent years, Ms. Suochen, who is the current head of the Inufushi family, is getting worse and worse. Seeing that time is running out, she has even fallen into a coma. Therefore, the Inufushi family also opened up the legacy that every big family will perform during this period. Compete for the big show.

The inheritance battle of the Inubushi family was quite fierce. Two people died at the beginning. Mr. Inubushi Shinichi was dissuaded by the brutal battle report and retreated to Tokyo to withdraw from the war.However, the murderer behind the scenes didn't seem to let him go without seeing him shrink back. When Hattori looked for him, he found that Inubushi Shinichi had died in his apartment.

That's why he found the main residence of Inufushi's family again, and wanted to investigate this matter thoroughly.

Originally, after investigation, he had confirmed that this matter was definitely a murder case, and the Flame Demon Dog was just a cover for the murderer. However, now, as if he was going to deliberately slap him in the face, when he was about to announce the murderer, he was alive. The Demon Dog of Flame appeared.

But you may not care too much about Hattori-kun being slapped in the face, because all the people of the Inubushi family at the scene have been frightened silly by the magic dog who suddenly came out to steal the show, and they all shrank behind him and turned into quails, except for that Hattori Heiji is the most calm one among the exorcists.

He watched the mysterious boy who appeared with the magic dog stand in front of the magic dog, suppressed his anxiety and tried to calmly explain to the demon exorcist on the opposite side, "I said, it didn't kill those people, the reason why it wakes up It felt that the descendants of the Inubushi family were in danger, and it came to protect them."

The Demon Eliminator on the opposite side sneered, unwilling to believe it, "Monsters protect people, are you joking?"

"It's not a monster, it's an Inugami."

"It's just what you said. You have no evidence at all to prove that the monster behind you didn't kill anyone. So, get out of the way, or I'll be rude!"

"That..." Heiji Hattori had no choice but to stand up when he heard this, "Although I don't know where this Lord Demon Dog belongs to, but if it's the people who died from the Inubusu family in front...it's really not It killed, and the murderer was someone else."

Seeing the two confronting each other startled, and looking at him at the same time, Hattori Heiji sighed, "I said it earlier, this is just an ordinary murder... If my reasoning is correct, the culprit is Mr. Chiaki Inufushi."

The complicated situation at the scene made him not even bother to tell the truth, and directly revealed the answer.

The Inubushi quail huddled together behind him were taken aback, and subconsciously isolated the Chiaki quail.

Inufushi Chiaki froze under the horrified eyes of everyone, subconsciously raised his hand, "Well, I..."

"Okay, you don't need to refute," Hattori Heiji said blankly, "If it's an emergency, I'll just tell you about the process of your crime..."

The magic dog that frightened the two dead adopted sons and drove them off the cliff one by one to death was actually a mechanism made by Inufushi Chiaki with a lighter, a dog raised at home, lights, and a cloth draped over the dog.

Because of the existence of the legend of the magic dog, when the two saw the dog with the special effect of burning flames, they subconsciously thought that the magic dog was back for revenge, so they were so frightened that they fell off the cliff without even seeing the changed path fell to his death.

"revenge?"

Hattori Heiji explained to this point, and Conan, who was also listening to his reasoning on the other end of the phone, interjected and asked in doubt.

Hattori Heiji: "Ah, the legend of the Inubusu family. It is said that it was a wise period. The youngest daughter of the owner was lost in the mountains and was rescued by the family dog. But at that time, the owner saw the unconscious daughter and her wounds. The misunderstanding was made by the dog named Fang Taro, so he beat Fang Taro to death and burned him. After his daughter woke up, he realized that he had done something wrong, and set up a tombstone for Fang Taro in repentance. But the first In the second year, a fire broke out at Inufushi's house, and only the owner was burned to death in the fire, so it was rumored that Fang Taro turned into a demon dog and came back to take revenge."

After explaining the legend in a few sentences, he looked at Inufushi Akira, "You killed Mr. Shinichi in Tokyo, too. You deliberately let us see the scene of the 'magic dog' throwing you down this afternoon, and even set yourself on fire." Just to let us reduce your suspicion and believe that the magic dog is real."

"No, that's not the case!" Seeing that everyone's eyes became more and more suspicious as he narrated, Inufushi Chiaki stammered hurriedly to defend, "I really met the magic dog at that time, you see, the magic dog is indeed exist..."

"Fangtaro didn't attack you," the brown-haired boy immediately retorted without waiting for others to ask, "except for the time in the afternoon when he felt that the lady was in danger and ran out to save her, he has been with me today. "

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and Inufushi Saki, one of the adopted daughters of the Inufushi family, pointed at himself in a daze, "Help, save me?"

She was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered something in shock, "Ah, speaking of which, this afternoon is indeed..."

As if remembering something terrible, her face paled instantly, and she subconsciously hid behind the people around her, until she was patted comfortingly by the elder sister beside her before she managed to calm down a bit.

"Yes, it's like this..." Seeing that everyone was waiting for him to speak, Inufusaki shrank behind Hattori with lingering fear, and tried to organize his words, "I did meet a magic dog this afternoon, and I was almost chased by it I fell off the cliff, but when I was about to rush to the edge of the cliff, the magic dog ran out again and threw me down, so I got my life back..."

Hattori Heiji: "So, the magic dog that chased you to the edge of the cliff is not the same magic dog that finally saved you."

Inufusaki nodded in a daze, and looked at the big dog on the embankment unconsciously, "Probably... that's right."

In the surprised eyes of everyone, the big dog with raging flames shook its tail and barked at everyone.

"Wang."

Everyone shrank back at the same time.

But, it still feels so scary, a living magic dog!

The tea-haired boy who appeared with the magic dog sighed, reached out and touched the dog's head behind him, "You don't have to be afraid of it, the Inufushi family has enshrined it for many years, it has become the family god of the Inufushi family, and will not harm Yours."

The big dog obediently rubbed against his hand. To be honest, if it didn't have the flame, some of its small movements would be no different from ordinary dogs.

Everyone looked at each other, and Hattori held up his mobile phone and asked, "Hey, Sister Sawada, is there such a thing?"

"there is."

A clear and ethereal voice came from the other end of the phone, and he explained in an unhurried manner, "The dog god has existed for a long time. After the dog in the family dies, if it is enshrined for a long time and the incense keeps burning, it is indeed possible. Become an Inugami to protect the offspring of that family."

"That, that, but..." A member of the Inufushi family interjected cautiously, "But at the beginning, Fangtaro...he was wronged by the owner of the house."

While speaking, he carefully glanced at the magic dog on the embankment, for fear that mentioning this matter would arouse its viciousness.

"Because it forgave you. Dogs are very simple. If they want revenge, they will only revenge on the original owner. It will continue to protect other offspring enshrined in it."

Is that right?

After hearing this, the children of the Inufushi family breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at each other a few times, still a little hesitant.

Toyama and Ye, who came with Hattori, saw what they were hesitating at a glance, so they simply asked for them, "Heiji, is the little sister you asked reliable, she sounds very young. "

Hattori Heiji quickly turned his head and stared at her, "What are you talking about, sister Sawada is much more reliable than the mage Onmyoji invited by the family before! Onmyoji is a career that depends on talent, age doesn't mean anything at all .”

Because he came from a big family, Hattori Heiji had dealt with famous monks, god masters, and onmyoji before.But he has always believed that religious beliefs are just the sustenance of the soul, and he has never believed in ghosts and gods since he was a child.

Because none of those mages could pull a demon out of the air with their backhands and shatter his worldview.

So he firmly believed that although sister Zetian was still young, she must be the most powerful onmyoji he had ever seen.

With Hattori Heiji's endorsement, although the Inubushi family still hesitated, they still reluctantly believed Inugami's statement.

At this time, seeing that they seemed to have finished their discussion, the tea-haired boy who came with the magic dog suddenly said, "That..."

Everyone trembled and looked at him nervously at the same time.

To be honest, the brown-haired boy is actually not scary. He has a handsome face, a slender figure, and his aura is not too strong. If you meet him in another place, he should be a very good-looking type.

However, no matter how good it can make people feel, it is not as good as the rumored magic dog under his command, which is as good as a big domestic dog.

Although everyone now knows that it is Inugami, the inherent impression cannot be reversed for a while.

Hattori Heiji was helplessly shrunk behind him and Ye Gongde stood up, "Excuse me, what's the matter?"

Across the river bank, the brown-haired boy smiled and didn't walk over, but pointed to his mobile phone from a distance, "Actually, I want to ask, is the one on your mobile phone... is Xiao Mi? "

Hattori Heiji: "Huh?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Sister Zetian's puzzled voice on the phone, "Huh? Natsume?"

"It's really you." Hearing her voice, the boy named Natsume seemed to heave a long sigh of relief.

Hattori Heiji looked at him, then at the phone, realized that they really knew each other, and touched his chin in amazement.

Sister Zetian's network is a bit powerful, why can I meet her acquaintances everywhere?

But what he didn't expect was that it wasn't over yet.

As soon as Natsume and Zetian Ya took the lead, the exorcist over there who had been confronting him for a long time hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and said, "Excuse me, is that over there His Excellency Zetian?"

Everyone was stunned and turned to look at him.
