The dog Fu family doesn't know if it's too much to do with it, it's a little too quiet at night, especially the maids are on vacation, there are not many people at home, and there is not even a footstep outside.

Gao Cheng rubbed his eyes and stood up, seeing that it was almost completely dark outside, and was thinking about what the situation was on Hattori's side, when his mobile phone suddenly rang.

"Something happened to that adopted daughter, Miss Zoji?!"

"Yes, Demon Dog...... It seems that ...... has appeared again."

The Demon Dog Tomb of the Inufu family was built under the cliff that Gao Cheng had seen before, and it was also the place where the adopted son Hotaru fell off the cliff during the first incident, but the adopted daughter Zuo Ji who went out this time had the same experience, and in front of everyone below the cliff, she rushed out of the cliff on a bicycle.

"An ambulance and the police have been called, but ......"

Hattori and Conan followed the path to the top of the cliff as Inufushi Yukihime drove to the top of the cliff and watched the flames on the grass stretch to the edge of the cliff, connecting in two like footprints left by a burning dog.

The important thing is that there is no smell of oil, but a "footprint" that really burns......

No matter what Hattori thinks, the new case has completely alarmed the Inufu family, and Gao Cheng's position is a little embarrassing for a while.

On the one hand, his warnings become a reality, and on the other hand, it reminds people of his title of plague god.

However, it wasn't until Hattori and his entourage took the Gunma County police back to Inufu's house that several adopted children still regarded Gao Cheng as the backbone, perhaps because he was a detective with a sense of security in the face of fear.

The middle-aged doctor, Inufu Zhihuang, answered the phone and said with a heavy expression: "The hospital where I work called and said that Zuo Ji died in the ambulance. ”

"How, how can this be ......?"

Inufushi Yukihime, who experienced the scene, heard the bad news, tears uncontrollably appeared in her eyes, only she was the youngest of the eight adopted children of the Inufu family, and she was taken care of a lot by Zuo Ji when she first came over, and the relationship was usually the best, and the impact was also the greatest.

Inufukaoko's face was also ugly, as if he was talking to himself: "Half of the eight adopted sons have been killed." ”

Gao Cheng opened his mouth, but he didn't care about comforting, in the current situation, the murderer is actually likely to be among these adopted sons.

"And then?" Gao Cheng asked Hattori, "What's the matter with those burning footprints?" Are you sure you haven't done anything? ”

Hattori shook his head and said cautiously: "I haven't found it yet, those flame footprints have been stretched about 20 centimeters from the edge of the cliff, and they are chasing behind the tire prints...... Although we didn't see any demon dogs, just like the first incident, it was like the traces left by the burning demon dogs, and even the Zo Ji himself, who fell off the cliff, finally said that the burning dog was ......"

"Haha," the mountain village who followed behind turned blue and refused to believe it, "It's all in this era, how can there be any magic dogs?" Probably someone lit the fire before you passed, so that it looked like some kind of demon dog there......"

"How can it be so simple, to create such a trace, it is difficult to do it in the dark, right?" Hattori rolled his eyelids and looked at Yamamura Cao in a muffled voice.

"We quickly went down the path, and if anyone had done it there wasn't enough time to do it," Conan continued, "and the fires were spaced apart as they got closer to the edge of the cliff, and so did the flames, and it was as if something was burning and walking through it as it grew......

Yamamura Cao was also frightened when he was said, and said in a trembling voice: "Is there really a cursed demon dog?" ”

"Who just said that there could be no magic dog in this era......

It's the first time Hattori has seen Yamamura Cao, and he didn't expect that it would be such a stupid police officer leading the team.

Is there no one at the Gunma Prefectural Police Station?

"Anyway," Hattori pondered, "it must have been someone who created that scene through clever arrangement, and that should be true, although I don't know how, but it's a fact that I blamed the demon dog for my crime." ”

Saying that, Hattori asked Gao Cheng curiously, "By the way, Joto, have you found any clues?" ”

When he left before, looking at Gao Cheng's appearance, he should have found some key information......

"Ah, not yet."

Gao Cheng came back to his senses, looked at the people who were still discussing, and remained silent for the time being.

The case is not a trivial matter, the more times like this, the more careful it should be, and it must be fast, otherwise someone will be killed.

The murderer probably knew that he was visited by a detective, which showed that he was very confident that he could hide from him to commit the crime......

"So," Gao Cheng paused and asked, "Did you find any beads this time?" ”

"Glass beads," Hattori said in a deep voice, "this time it's glass beads, and they were found later by the tombstone where Miss Saki fell off the cliff." ”

"At the very least, it can be determined that the killer had a plan to kill Miss Zo Kee in the first place."

Gao Cheng still put his suspicions on the people of the Inufu family, even the Inufushi Yukihime who was next to Hattori at the time was still suspicious, and even the glass bead may have been thrown by Inufushi Yukihime at the opportunity.

Thinking of this, Gao Cheng looked at several adopted sons of the Inufu family and said: "The time of the crime was around seven o'clock in the evening, except for Miss Yukihime, who went to the bottom of the cliff with Hattori and them to see the tomb of the demon dog, the other three Mr. Zenya were taking a bath, and Miss Kaoko waited outside because Zuoji had not returned, and Mr. Zhihuang was measuring the body temperature and blood pressure of Mrs. Suochen, and also fed liquid food......

"Even so, after I received the news, I only met Miss Kaozi who happened to be returning to the house from outside."

"So didn't I tell you everything?" The bearded male dog Fuzen also snorted, "I was taking a bath alone, and I heard you say something happened later!" ”

"I've been here by my mother's side all along," Inufushi Chiaki looked at the room where Mrs. Suchen was sleeping beside her, and couldn't say anything, "but she's been asleep, and she can't testify for me." ”

Gao Cheng didn't continue to ask.

Soon after receiving news from Hattori, he did find these people one after another.

However, Inufu's house is not too far from the cliff, much closer than to the bottom of the cliff, and considering that the prisoner himself may have only used some means and did not appear in person, these people cannot rule out suspicion.

"I'm talking about Detective Joto," Yamamura Cao carefully recorded in his notebook, and waited until the Inufu family left, "In terms of time, they really don't have a chance to commit crimes, especially Miss Yukihime, after all, she was at the bottom of the cliff at the time ......of the crime."

"These do not rule out suspicion," Gao Cheng explained helplessly, "If the murderer is a remote control crime and drives the dog to attack, even if he is under the cliff, he can secretly use something like a dog flute...... Even Miss Yukihime was the most suspicious person, as she was right below the cliff at the time. ”

"Speaking of remote-controlled crimes," Yamamura said, "Miss Saki has a call record on her phone, just two hours before she fell off the cliff. ”

"It's normal, Miss Zuo Ji came back much later today than usual, and the murderer obviously has calculated the time, probably asking her to buy something to let her come back a little later, so that she can attack when it is dark," Gao Cheng thought about it with his elbows on his elbows, "but this also shows that the murderer's methods should be more suitable for implementation at night, and it is possible to expose the stuffing during the day." ”

In several so-called demon dog attacks, the time of the crime was carried out in a relatively dark situation, one is easier to conceal the method, and the other is more able to create a false impression and cause panic.

It's just that I don't know what kind of technique those burning footprints used, so that Hattori and Conan can't find any clues, it's really powerful.

Gao Cheng's heart sank, and he opened the door next to him a little, and looked at Mrs. Suochen, who was still sleeping in the room, and her quiet appearance seemed to be an old sleeping beauty.

This family has become like this, I don't know what the old lady will think, maybe it's a good thing to stay asleep.

Looking at Mrs. Suochen, Gao Cheng suddenly thought of the old man Seto who came over willfully in order to meet him at the end of his life.

The woman who can make the old man think about it until the last moment, and from the perspective of the Inufu family, it must be that Mrs. Suchen was also a gentle woman in the past, leaving her husband's illegitimate children to be adopted as adopted sons, which ordinary people can't do.

The old lady probably doesn't want the tragedy of the Inufu family to continue, right?

Gao Cheng closed the sliding door.

Either way, he'll deal with this serial murder case as soon as possible.
