To be precise, it should be a rifle, a hand-held firearm that is relatively heavy and not very easy to use.

as a sporting firearm; The rifling inside the barrel gives the bullet a rotating force, so it is more accurate and has a longer range compared to smoothbore guns.

The disadvantage is that loading is slower than smoothbore guns, because each bullet (wrapped in a cloth soaked in lubrication) has to be hammered into the barrel with a mallet, which is time-consuming to reload.

It can't be mistaken, the man who slipped into the bushes just now definitely has a rifle in his hand.

It tensed up, and it looked like it was going to have to stay here for a while.

Seeing that the Junior Detective Corps was still seriously discussing how to seduce a kappa or a mountain ghost, it picked up the Brazilian turtle and ran in the direction where the man had disappeared.

………

The Brazilian turtle was lying on Zorro's back, helplessly holding its front paws on its cheeks, and finally ran out of the drunken laboratory, it really didn't want to mix anything with humans, and it was estimated that it would end up badly......

It hadn't seen the cat be so nosy before.

It also took a rather tasteless name...... What is Zorro's name?

It's the words that would rather be called Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael or something like that......

"Meow~"

Zorro groaned in a low voice, signaling the Brazilian turtle to get ready, after all, the other party has a gun, and if it is discovered, he can let the Brazilian turtle use the shell to block the bullet.

It sounds a bit crumb, but after all, this turtle is not afraid of bullets at all.........

The Brazilian turtle sighed, there was no way, the cat came to give it food from time to time, and she couldn't watch this girl get shot, so she cooperated and hugged Zorro's back.

It's a little bit to be able to cover a little, but it doesn't think the cat will really be hit.

………

Zorro scurried into the bushes quickly, and inside...... There is a path...... To be precise, it was a dirt road formed by the trampling, and it looks like it should have been trampled back and forth many times.

It's surrounded by rocks and vines, and you won't really notice the path if you don't go this way.

The woods here are so obscured that you can't see where the road leads.

Zorro licked his lips, it became a little excited, and there was a vague smell of some complicated smell in the air...... Monkey...... Seagull...... I wonder if these animals are really in this park......

Whatever they were here for, they had absolutely nothing to do with the man just now.

It's a poacher or a habitual animal smuggler.

In that case, then it is up to him and the old turtle to bring him to justice!

In this case, it's actually better for humans to solve it, but Katayama isn't here, and it can't let Katayama solve the case through prompts, those children......... Forget it, it's too dangerous, the other party has a gun in his hand.

As for Katayama...... It's a man who has experienced an explosion, so it's really not worried.........

It followed the path and came to the end in one breath, and came to a mountain wall full of vines.

The vines hung down densely from above...... This is the end of the park, because it is a park made of forests, so behind the mountain wall is the highway around the mountain.

It can even hear cars passing by.

The man was nowhere to be seen, but there were no other forks in the road, that is, behind the vines.........

Zorro gently flicked the vines, and sure enough, it was empty...... A hole has been made in this mountain wall!

It quickly lowered itself and gently flicked the corner of the vine to let the Brazilian tortoise inside.

I don't know what happened inside! Sure enough, this kind of invulnerable guy should still be allowed to explore the way!

…………

"So, to attract kappa, we should pretend to sumo wrestling by the river!"

On the edge of the artificial lake, three children are still discussing a plan to lure kappa, and they don't know much about mountain ghosts, but Japanese children know the legend of kappa.

It is said that kappa would play sumo wrestling with children by the river, but of course it is just a legend that no one has ever actually seen it.

But now they belong to the dead horse as a live horse doctor, there is no other way, then put it badly!

Motota was excited to take off his shirt and start sumo, but there was no way, this was his area of expertise, and he was inevitably excited.

Reasoning and football and so on were all blown up by other people, but sumo wrestling...... He can wear three of Ayumi Conan!

Of course, Conan is not here now, and Ayumi can't sumo with him, so the opponent is naturally Mitsuhiko.

"Wait, wait, you don't really want sumo!"

Mitsuhiko hurriedly made a pause gesture, he was originally going to pretend to sumo, if the kappa didn't come out, forget it, I didn't expect to see that Motota's posture was real!

He could almost imagine himself being pushed to the ground by Yuan Tai's palm.

"Hey, look! Zorro and the little turtle are gone! ”

Just as Mitsuhiko was still thinking about how to shirk it, Ayumi's voice came in time, which diverted Motota's attention.

"Ah, it would be bad if we lost Brother Katayama's cat, I think it's better for us to find Zorro first!"

How could Mitsuhiko miss such an opportunity, he immediately said that sumo kappa or something, compared to Katayama's brother's cat, is not important! It's still important to find a cat.

“…… Maybe it just got bored and went back on its own......"

Yuan Tai put on his shirt dissatisfied, and he thought he could show his manhood in front of Ayumi......

……

The old turtle went in and looked around, reopened the thick vines, poked his head out, and nodded to Zorro, as if nothing unusual.

Walk into the cave...... Zorro's eyes widened suddenly...... Good guys, here it is......

Cold iron cages were placed inside, reminding it of unpleasant memories, monkeys...... Seagull...... There are also other animals that should not be in the park.

Cowering in a cage shivering, it stinks so much that it doesn't look like it's been cleaned at all.

The direction directly opposite the entrance of the cave is still covered with vines, and it seems that this place leads directly to the side of the highway around the mountain......

That makes sense...... I'm afraid it's an important stronghold for some habitual animal smugglers to evade site inspections......

Although it is said that the whole process is monitored on the highway, in general, there are cameras that run at intervals.

If they are sure that there is no surveillance near this section of the road, they can pile up the smuggled goods in this hole first, and then move the whole thing away when the transport arrives......

For a while, the usefulness of this cave was immediately guessed by Zorro, no wonder there were such rumors......

However, it didn't notice that the pitch-black muzzle was already aimed at it in the dark.........
