The next day, several police cars stopped in front of the door of the building whose name was "Shin'ichi Kudo", pronounced the same as "Shinichi Kudo", and when she received the report, she thought she had made a mistake.

Gao Cheng got out of one of the police cars and looked up to find Hattori and Conan on the balcony on the second floor.

Sure enough, it was these two guys again......

"And then?" The housekeeping aunt at the scene asked, "According to your account, the victim was already dead when you came today, and then someone called and said that the victim was locked in the bedroom closet, and when you opened the cabinet that was sealed from the outside, you found that the victim of carbon monoxide poisoning still had a charcoal stove inside, and then the prisoner asked you to pretend to be a suicide......

"Can you think of who the prisoner might be? For example, who holds a grudge against the victim......"

"This, in fact, ......" The aunt's face was sweating, and she was of course one of the suspects who had quarreled with the owner of the house, and the others were not clear.

"It should have something to do with the demon dog of the Inufu family," Hattori Gang Zhigo's aunt replied, "Actually, the uncle who was killed was one of the adopted sons of the Inufu family, and it seems that he has been terrified recently, saying that a bad guy has infiltrated the Inufu family and used the cursed demon dog to make the Inufu family lose their children and grandchildren!" ”

"Inufuya?"

Gao Cheng, who was still checking the wardrobe at the scene of the first crime, was stunned, and couldn't help but look back at Hattori with a serious face, and the Inufu's house that he had been to last week came to his mind.

"Cursed Demon Dog...... Takagi was furious when he was said, and quickly turned to his aunt and continued to ask, "Have you heard of the victim?" For example, I made an appointment with someone to meet......"

The aunt replied, "I've heard that only young detectives come from Osaka......"

"Wait," Twilight thought to herself, "you said that the prisoner mentioned dealing with the young detectives, and if the prisoner knew about it, it must be an acquaintance!" ”

"Yes, yes," the aunt was still afraid, "maybe I was going to go out with that prisoner, because when I found him in the closet, he was wearing a suit and a tie!" ”

Twilight looked at the victim's corpse next to him, "You helped him take off his suit and put on this tracksuit?" ”

Although the aunt was threatened by the prisoner, it also brought some unnecessary trouble, at least the crime scene was destroyed, and even if it wasn't for Hattori coming, it was really possible that the police in the jurisdiction would have committed suicide as charcoal.

The aunt said weakly: "It was the prisoner who asked me to do this, saying that I would put the body on the bed and pretend to sleep, and wait for the young detective to come over ......"

"In other words, after you show Hattori and them the victim lying on the bed, they say that they are going to buy something, but in fact, they sneak into the bedroom, carry the body to the ground, seal the windows and doors with duct tape, and then put the extinguished charcoal stove, set up the loud noise in the brain, and hide in the corner behind the door......"

Twilight looked at the aunt sullenly and said, "But just because you bargained in the supermarket before the incident is not proof that you are not a prisoner, you better remember." ”

The aunt lowered her head: "Hug, sorry......"

Gao Cheng has been standing on the edge of the wardrobe, and there are traces of adhesive tape on the wardrobe door, coupled with the first judgment of Hattori and Conan, the aunt's statement makes sense.

The most important thing is that this murder case actually involved the Inufu family.

The subsequent police investigation did not yield much, but when the body was moved, a small pearl fell out of the victim's mouth, which was said to have been on the tie clip, and it is not clear whether it was a death message for the time being.

After the investigation, Gao Cheng went to Hattori alone.

"Of course, it's the Inufushi family of the Inufushi group," Hattori Heiji said inexplicably, "The president's wife inherited a huge inheritance from the rich lord Inufushi, and since she fell ill, there have been two incidents, and today is the third...... Do you have anything to do with the Inufuge family? ”

"And then? What happened to the first two incidents? Gao Cheng didn't answer and continued to ask.

There was no sign when he went before, which means that the incident happened after he left, so he couldn't be surprised......

"What else?" Hattori said helplessly, "The president's wife took in eight adopted sons, and when she dies, of course, the inheritance will be distributed to these adopted children, two people have died mysteriously a few days ago, and this Uncle Kudo took the initiative to give up his inheritance because of this, but he didn't expect to be killed......"

Saying that, Hattori thought heavily: "Here's the problem, if it's an attempt to reduce the number of heirs in order to increase the amount of inheritance you can share, it shouldn't have anything to do with Shin'ichi Kudo...... So there is some truth to the curse that Mr. Shin'ichi said, maybe there are really people who want to take revenge on these illegitimate children of President Inufushi, or maybe some of them have a grudge because they have been abandoned for many years......"

"Who was killed before Mr. Shin'ichi?" Gao Cheng thought of the several dogs he had come into contact with*** Fukuji, Inufushi Kaoko and the doctor Inufushi Zhihuang, and the others had not had a chance to contact at that time.

"And an aunt named Inufushimi Sako who drowned in the swamp, it seems that the grass around the swamp that has no sparks at all has burned......"

Hattori took out his mobile phone and looked through it: "But the first one is an uncle named Hotaru who fell off the cliff after being attacked by a demon dog covered in flames, just last week...... It's all about fire. ”

Gao Cheng frowned.

Just after he left Inufu's house last week......

"What's the matter with the Demon Dog?"

"Because after the uncle fell off the cliff, he left a sentence when he was dying, saying that what pushed him down was a monster that was almost like a monster transformation, with raging flames wrapped around his body, and he saw that when he got bigger, he attacked a monster that looked like a dog! It is said that the uncle was chased a full kilometer away on his bicycle! ”

"Yokai ......"

Gao Cheng's eyes flashed.

There is no doubt that it is artificial, but how did the other party do it?

……

It's still Gunma County, Gao Cheng drove Hattori and his party to the village at the foot of Inufujia Mountain, and saw Inufushi Castle towering halfway up the mountainside, and was slightly in a trance.

I didn't expect to come over again because of the murder......

"What's wrong?"

Hattori looked at Gao Cheng strangely, he was very curious from just now, Gao Cheng, who had always been a road idiot, didn't even need to ask about the road, he looked like he was completely familiar with the road, and he had a strange reaction to the Inufu family...... There must be something wrong.

"I said, Joto, you shouldn't have been here before, right?"

"I came here once last week for work."

Gao Cheng didn't go into detail about the old man of Seto, silently looked at the dog in the mountain, and drove into the mountain road.

The Inufu couple themselves have no children, which is probably the reason why Mrs. Suchen left eight adopted children, but the inheritance is a problem after all, and it still broke out after Mrs. Suchen fell ill.

As for the so-called revenge on the Inufu family, Gao Cheng remained skeptical, because for the prisoner, if he just let Kudo Shin'ichi leave the Inufushi family, it would be too suspicious, and no matter what aspect he considered, Kudo's murder was inevitable.

"Wow!"

"Hachi, don't run outside!"

In the yard of Inufu's house, Inufushi Yukihime chased the Akita dog who was running around, and happened to bump into Gao Cheng's party who came to the door.

"Detective Joto?"

Inufushi Yukihime hugged the barking Akita Inu and looked at Gao Cheng in surprise.

This time, Gao Cheng came with two cute high school girls, a black man...... Oh no, a dark-skinned high school boy, and a schoolboy with glasses.

"Suochen's mother is still asleep......"

"We're not here to look for Madame," Gao Cheng said with a wry smile, "It's actually about a few murders that happened in the Inufu's house, and we want to investigate." ”

"Murder, but the police came to investigate and said it was an accident......

"Gunma Prefecture police?"

Gao Cheng thought of the sharp-mouthed Yamamura Cao, shook his head and said: "Actually, something happened that can't be considered an accident, Mr. Shin'ichi was killed at his home in Tokyo yesterday, and he also mentioned ...... such as curses"
