Sunday, February 8th, evening, mountain hut in the middle of the Danbara Mountains, mountain village.

While Yamazaki and his caretaker, Shigekichi Iwata, were drinking their first pot of tea around the stone stove, a light rain began to fall, and then it slowly began to fall heavier. When it was time to start drinking the third pot of tea, the door was pushed open, and Kenichi Hirai, Mori, Ran, Conan, Shingo Noshi, Wataru Takanashi, Shiobunzo, Akira Kawabe, and Kyoko Mieda, a group of nine people rushed here in the wind and rain.

"Kenichi, you're here. Iwata Shigeyoshi stepped forward and presented the prepared Maoi.

"Thank you, Uncle Iwata. Kenichi Hirai said.

Chao Wenzao took the towel and wiped it, looked at the young man lying on the ground and was tightly wrapped in a net, and couldn't wait to ask, "This is the fox?"

"He had a knife wound on his hand, a knife hand, but that alone wasn't sure if he was the fox. Yamazaki stepped forward and said, "If he's willing to answer you, ask him yourself." Then he said to the young man, "Hey, stop pretending, I know you woke up an hour ago." ”

Kenichi Hirai said, "Uncle Iwata, what is this?"

Iwata Shigekichi said: "This gentleman brought him here and said that he was probably the killer in the news. As he spoke, he poured a cup of hot tea for Shingo Nengshi, Wataru Takanashi, Akira Kawabe, and Kyoko Mieda, who were sitting next to the stone stove.

"Nonsense, playing with knives is just my hobby, who the hell are you, what are you doing here?" said the young man, "and besides, can you let me go, it's uncomfortable, and I want to go to the bathroom." ”

"Mr. Mori, what the hell is going on?" said Shingo Noshi, "and now you can tell us." ”

"Well, we're catching a killer codenamed 'Fox'. "But I'm not sure if it's this person." ”

"Can you let him go first?" asked Takanashi.

Yamazaki said: "It's better not to, if you have to, then say okay first, if someone is killed because of this, you kill yourself to accompany that person." ”

"That's, that's it. Takanashi said.

"Mr. Chao, in this situation, I think it's better to call the police. Maori said.

"Say, are you a fox or not? Mr. Chao grabbed the young man and asked.

"I don't even know what you're talking about. The young man said, "Hurry up and let me go." ”

"Calm down, Mr. Chao. Maori said.

"Uncle, I think it's better to call the police. Conan said.

"Even if you call the police, the police can't catch up for a while. "Heavy rain here is prone to landslides and other geological disasters, which is very dangerous. ”

"Ah, aren't we trapped here?" asked Takanashi, surprised.

Yamazaki, who sat back in his seat, said, "Not really, I've already called a helicopter on the phone and will come over when the rain stops." ”

Kenichi Hirai smiled and said, "Then let's listen to the weather forecast on the local radio." With that, he turned on the radio.

With the murmur of chirping, the radio began to work, "The next news is broadcast below, this morning in Danbara Village, a resident of Danbara Village, Mr. Tanaka Iwa, 60 years old, was unfortunately assassinated at home, and some belongings were robbed, and the police suspect that the murderer may have fled to Danbara Mountain. ……”

Conan found that Akira Kawabe and Kyoko Mieda tightened the backpack they had just taken off and were holding in their arms, but due to the cold, their faces were already blue and white, and they couldn't see any other changes.

"Well, it's getting more and more lively in the mountains. Shingo Noh smiled.

The young man said, "Hey, you guys let me go, I can't stand it anymore, I'm going to the bathroom." ”

"Okay, I'll take you. Chao Wenzao said, "Mr. Maori, something happened, and I am responsible." ”

"Wait, Mr. Chao, if it's you, please pay the commission fee first. Yamazaki said, "I saw you paying for your and your uncle's house with a check in the morning, and the cost of buying things last night, so you should bring a checkbook." ”

"I'm ready for that. Chao Wenzao gave a prepared check to Maori.

"How embarrassing is that. Maori put the check in the pocket of his undershirt.

It took about ten minutes for Chao Wenzao to untie the messy net and release the young man.

Looking at this man in his twenties, white and clean, Lan asked Yamazaki, who was sitting next to him, "Is he really a killer?"

"yes, it doesn't look like it. Kyoko Mieda said.

"Thank you. The young man asked, "Where is the bathroom?"

"The washroom is next door. Kenichi Hirai said, "I'll take you." ”

"I'll do it anyway. Chao Wenzao said.

Chao Wenzao grabbed the young man's arm, went out and walked along the aisle under the eaves, walked to the door of the bathroom next to the house, and then let go of the young man, "Go in, be honest." ”

The young man raised his arm and rubbed it, "Thank you so much." As he spoke, he suddenly waved a hand knife and hit Chao Wenzao on the throat, and then turned around and rushed into the heavy rain without looking, and said at the same time, "I'll be back." As he spoke, he turned to the side of the bathroom and disappeared into the eyes of Chao Wenzao, who was half-kneeling in the aisle in front of the bathroom with his throat covered and foaming, and Mori, Ran, Conan, and Shingo Nengshi, who were watching them at the door of the house.

Conan hurriedly chased after him, but found that the rain was too heavy to discern the direction at all.

"Mr. Chao, are you alright?" asked Maori, who stepped forward.

Chao Wenzao stared at the two bloodshot eyes and shook his head.

"No, no. Shingo retreated back into the house.

"What's going on?" asked Takanashi, a little scared.

"That guy knocked down Mr. Tide and ran away. "He said he would come back to us." ”

"What!" Takanashi and the others were taken aback.

"Don't worry, with such heavy rain, he won't come back. Yamazaki said.

"Really?" asked Kyoko Mieda.

"Generally speaking, yes. "But if there's a heavy weapon, like a grenade, it's a grave." ”

"Grenade?grave?" Akira Kawabe and Kyoko Mieda hugged each other in fear.

"Well, sir, don't scare them. Kenichi Hirai said with a smile.

"No, this possibility cannot be said to be none. "Maori helped Chaowen to come in.

"I—I don't want to stay here. Takanashi said and wanted to run out.

"But it's even more dangerous to go out now. Maori stopped Takanashi.

"What then?" said Takanashi, "by the way, call the police, and call the police to save us." "I went to make a phone call, but I found that there was no signal on the phone," he, he cut the phone line. ”

"Don't be afraid, if he dares to come, I will use this against him. Chao Wenzao said in a hoarse voice, and then took out a pistol.

"Mr. Chao, what are you?" asked Maori in surprise.

"This is my backhand. Chao Wenzao said.

Maori said, "But ......"

Chao Wenzao said: "Okay, Maori detective, now is not the time to discuss whether this is illegal. ”

Shingo said, "That's right, there's a killer out there staring at us." ”

"Okay. Maori reluctantly agreed.

"Mr. Administrator, is there anything to eat here?" Chao Wenzao asked.

Iwata Shigekichi said, "Yes, it has been prepared for a long time. ”

Dinner is rice, a variety of wild vegetables from the mountains, rabbit meat, and mushroom soup.

Yamazaki sat down in the aisle to eat his own bento, and Conan sat next to him with a full plate, "Didn't you eat lunch, or did you bring two lunches?"

"Isn't the weather forecast saying that there will be heavy rain in the afternoon, including supper?" Yamazaki smiled, "knowing that there is rain, of course you have to be prepared." ”

"By the way, I have a feeling that there is something wrong with Mr. Tide," said Conan, "and he doesn't just look like a fox." ”

"I feel that way, too, but it's none of our business, we've done what he's commissioned. "As long as the rain stops, I'll be able to go back soon." If you have the leisure to do so, you should think more about how you will hide if he throws a grenade in, you know, this may be his true face. ”

"Forget it, he knew there was going to be a helicopter coming, and he wouldn't stay unless he really had heavy weapons," Conan said angrily, "He doesn't know where he's gone now, and cutting the phone line just won't let us notify the police down the hill." ”

Yamazaki asked, "So, how do you know he doesn't have heavy weapons?"

"At least not now, or I'd have a pistol or something. "But you just got a few daggers out of him." Then he asked, "Did you say that Mr. Chao deliberately let the fox go?"

"Probably not. Yamazaki said.

"I think so," said Conan, "but it's strange that he untied the fox and didn't tie him up anymore." Then he thought about it and said, "By the way, he has a gun, do you think he wants to test it, if people escape, it is a real fox, and then he shot him." ”

"Quite possibly. Yamazaki said.

Conan said: "By the way, I think Mr. Chao seems to have a grudge against the fox, I don't know why." ”

"Your curiosity is really heavy. Yamazaki sighed.

"No way, occupational disease. Conan laughed, and then said, "And Mr. Riverbe and Miss Mieda, they may have something to do with the murder in Tanbara Village, and their backpacks may be stolen goods." ”

"Again, when they pressed the bag, I smelled a smell of blood coming out. "I guess it's blood-stained stolen goods." ”

"It's all reasoning," said Conan, "and they didn't take anything out of their backpacks to eat at noon, perhaps in a hurry up the hill, and didn't prepare anything." ”

"In that case, use your keen observation to watch the wind here," Yamazaki said, "and I'm done." He stood up.

Conan asked, "Hey, where are you going?"

"Washing the boxes, of course. Yamazaki said. ……

After that, Yamazaki and Conan found Akira Kawabe and Kyoko Mieda.

Yamazaki said: "Uncle Maori already knows what you are doing in Tanbara Village, let us ask you if you are willing to turn yourself in, and being caught by burglars and murderers is a crime that can be punished by death." ”

"Ah Huang, let's go and turn ourselves in. Kyoko Mieda said, "As long as we go to the police together, we will be safe." ”

"That's it. Akira sighed by the river.

Conan asked, "Why is that?"

"Because that person is a member of a violent organization, he is responsible for being a good person and lending money to people, and when he meets the right person, other people will harass him and make him unable to pay back, and then he will force these people to do things for them. Kyoko Mieda said.

Kawabe said: "There is no way we will run here, we took an important ledger by mistake when we took something from the safe, they are chasing us, and the police here have their informants, if they or the informant police are caught here, we will definitely die." ”

"I see, I'll tell Uncle Maori. Yamazaki said, "Don't worry, we'll go back to Tokyo, they won't be able to catch up with you." ”

After that, Yamazaki approached Mori, "Uncle, Mr. Akira Kawabe and Miss Kyoko Mieda want you to take them to turn themselves in, they are the murderers of the Tanbara Village incident." ”

"What?" Maori was taken aback.

"There is another secret to this matter, whether it is true or not, I don't know. Yamazaki told me what he had just heard.

"I see. Maori laughed, "Well, if that's true, it's a big deal." ”……

About an hour later, when the rain stopped, Yamazaki first contacted Midaiko on a satellite phone and told her that they would go to the Metropolitan Police Department and tell her not to come.

After that, Yamazaki handed over the satellite phone to Mori, who contacted the Twilight Police Department.

After the Twilight Police Department learned about Chao Wenzao's incident, he was just about to talk about Maori on the phone, but he was diverted by Mao's use of Akira Kawabe and Kyoko Mieda.

Soon after, a helicopter flew over and took everyone in the mountain village, including the caretaker Shigeyoshi Iwata, who was dragged onto the helicopter by Lan with his eyes closed and gritting his teeth. ……
