"We've already heard about Mr. Shin'ichi," the short-haired middle-aged woman Inufushi Kaoko came in from outside, "Mr. Shin'ichi did say before he left this house that someone was going to use a curse to make the Inufushi family cut off their offspring, but there is no curse at all, so I don't bother with it......

"And it will make her sad if her mother hears about it."

"No," Gao Cheng interrupted, "it's not the curse that we care about, it's that someone is now eyeing you adopted children of the Inufu family, and this is a vicious serial murder incident." ”

"Serial killing?"

Inufushi Kaoko and Inufushi Yukihime looked stunned, and a young uncle with a beard on his chin appeared on the side of the courtyard, looked at Gao Cheng and said dissatisfiedly: "What are these little ghosts for?" Haven't the police already investigated? ”

"It's a Detective from Joto who came here last time!"

"Detective Joto?"

The young uncle looked at the werewolf who seemed to be a thin version, and when he saw Gao Cheng's face changed slightly, he couldn't help but sweat.

"Hey, won't you? Shin'ichi, that guy said the detective he was looking for wouldn't be him, right? Last time, Shin'ichi was obviously not there. ”

Because the maid of the Inufu family was on vacation, Zuo Ji, an adopted daughter who usually prepares food, went to the dry cleaners to get clothes, and there was nothing to entertain Gao Cheng, so everyone drank tea and waited in the reception room from Jane.

Hattori privately pulled Gao Cheng over and asked in a low voice, "Hey, Joto, what have you been here for, how do you feel familiar?" ”

"I've only been here for a long time, what can I do?"

Gao Cheng's mind has always been on the people of the Inufu family.

In addition to the Aunt Zuoji, the rest of the adopted children of the Inufu family happened to be there, and Gao Cheng took the opportunity to ask, "Can I ask?" When Shin'ichi was killed in his home in Tokyo, had you ever been to Tokyo? ”

"All four of us went," Inufushi Kaoko responded, "because everyone wanted to convince him to go back to Inufu's house." ”

"Yes, he seemed to be suspicious of one of us, and we were going to ask him why, but he kept trembling and didn't say anything, as if the prisoner was among us......"

"When we came back, we heard from Zuo Ji, who was left at home, about his murder."

Gao Cheng's gaze swept over the four people, including Inufushi Yukihime, one by one: "You have been together in Tokyo?" ”

"No," Inufushi Yukihime shook her head, "We went together, but when we came back, we came back separately, because it was hard to go to Tokyo ......."

"Really?"

Gao Cheng paused and continued to ask, "There is another question, do you know what special meaning pearls have?" ”

"Pearls?"

"I'm not sure if it's related, but Mr. Shin'ichi, who was killed in the closet, had a pearl inlaid with a tie clip in his mouth."

Gao Cheng always observed the expressions of the Inufu family, but there was no difference from beginning to end, and the reactions were almost the same, looking terrifying.

"Speaking of pearls," Inufushi Yukihime said with a pale face, "Actually, when Brother Hotaru fell off the cliff, there was a small steel ball beside him. ”

"That's right," said the bearded young man with a chin frown, "that uncle likes to play small steel balls so much that we thought it rolled out of his pocket, but if you really want to talk about it, there was a ping-pong ball floating in the pool where Mi Iko drowned, right?" ”

"Yes, yes."

The middle-aged doctor Inufu Zhihuang was also a little panicked.

"Is there really some curse?"

"Cut," the bearded young man snorted, "Someone must be pretending!" If I see it, I'll have to show him some color! ”

The sky gradually darkened, and in the end, only Inufu Yukihime was left with Gao Cheng, and at this time, Gao Cheng also asked for the alibi of everyone in the Inufu family, but unfortunately there was no gain.

Sure enough, it was just a simple question, and it was not easy to investigate.

The prisoner is clearly prepared to deal with the police and detectives.

However, Gao Cheng was not in a hurry, and still looked for clues from the subtleties.

All crimes will inevitably leave traces, and this serial murder incident itself has traces to follow, Gao Cheng's investigation direction is "cursed demon dog", since the criminal used this statement, there must be a reason.

"That is, the ancestor of this family burned the dog to death in the past?"

"Well, it's still the Meiji period," Inufushi Yukihime knelt down at the tea table and told the story of the demon dogs that had been passed down from generation to generation in the Inufu family, "The only daughter of the Inufu family suddenly disappeared, and everyone in the village went out to look for it, but the dog of the Inufu family suddenly appeared, and the girl who was still dying with injuries in his mouth was still in his mouth, and the angry owner of the Inufu family beat it with a whip and set it on fire......

But the girl who woke up after that said that she had lost her way in the mountains and fell, and that it was the dog who saved her, and the owner of the bathroom dog Fu family regretted it very much, so he built a very magnificent grave for the dog...... As a result, a fire broke out a few days later, and only the owner failed to escape and was burned to death, and later it was rumored that the Inufu family had a flame demon dog to haunt him! ”

"Sounds like a legend," Hattori yawned with his chin propped up, "and is it so easy to get lost in this kind of mountain?" ”

"It's really easy to get lost if you're not familiar with it," Inufushi Yukihime looked at Gao Cheng and proposed, "That tomb is still there, do you want to go and see it?" ”

"I'm not going."

Gao Cheng buried his head in writing and drawing in his notebook, but handed over the car keys to Hattori, who seemed to be very interested in the Demon Dog Grave, and continued to study under the light alone.

Speaking of demon dogs, he remembered a film that is widely circulated in Japan, called "The Legend of the Eight Dogs in Nan Zongzato", which is coincidentally very similar to the situation of the Inufu's family.

It tells the story of a city lord when the city was about to be breached by the enemy, jokingly said to the dog that if he could take the head of the enemy general, he would marry his daughter to the dog, but the dog really sneaked into the enemy formation to take the head of the enemy general, and the princess Fu Ji, the daughter of the city lord, thought that the king had no jokes, and lived in seclusion in the mountains with the dog.

But this dog was actually cursed by a woman who was beheaded by the city lord, Yuzi, and the city lord Mingming's retainers killed the cursed dog to save the princess, but the princess blocked the bullet, and the eight prayer beads in her hand before she died flew into the sky and fell into the hands of the eight swordsmen.

The last eight swordsmen helped the city lord dispel Yuzi's resentful spirits.

It's such a story, but Gao Cheng suddenly found a problem in the names of the adopted children of the Inufu family.

Shin'ichi, Kaoko, Sakee, Chiaki, Migako, Zenya, Hotaru, and Yukihime...... I heard that it seems to be the name of the deceased President Inufushi.

He has found the real reason why Mrs. Suo Chen was called a princess back, in fact, it is because "female" and "minister" together are "Ji", and unexpectedly, whether it is the name of President Inufu or the names of the adopted children, almost all have the same situation.

The eight rosaries in the story are engraved with the words "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, faithfulness, and filial piety", which can actually be combined through a part of the Chinese characters of these people's names.

This shouldn't really be a coincidence, it's obviously a deliberate act by President Inufushi.

In this case, the only thing that stands out is the name "Yukihime......

Gao Cheng raised his head slightly.

Why?
