Conan Rick's Investigator

It just so happens that the Inufushi family has a legend about the "Curse of the Devil Dog" from long ago, which can be used as a cover for killing people.

Now, as long as Yukihime's death is blamed on the "devil dog"...

In fact, even if Yukiji hadn't called him to the cabin, he had already planned to stop after killing the last person.

The four adopted children who opposed the inheritance of Inubushi City were dead, and he needed a murderer.

Originally, Kudo Shinichi was wanted to take on this role, but the coward was frightened and left Inubushi Castle.

This was beyond his expectation.

So, he organized other adopted children to go to Tokyo to persuade Kudo Shinichi to come back.

If he cannot be persuaded to come back, he will be treated with carbon monoxide poisoning.

In this way, the "curse" thing can be made more realistic.

However, the curse can only temporarily set up the confusion. If you want to solve it once and for all, you still need a real "murderer".

Among the remaining three adopted children, he chose Yukihime as the target of the blame.

Because he had heard some rumors from Ms. Saomi before that Yukihime's original name did not comply with the naming rules of the Inubushi family, and she might not have been born to Chairman Inubushi.

There is no reason to be merciful to such a person who obtains inheritance rights by pretending to be someone else.

Therefore, even if Xingji didn't take the initiative to come to her tonight, he had already prepared the note for Xingji to "surrender" and made all arrangements.

But he really didn't expect that Yuki Ji would be the first to find out the identity of his murderer.

How did she know?

Did she say 'saw it'?

How is it possible for people to see it?

Chihuang recalled that he had committed several crimes, all of which were carried out secretly in the forest. The dogs were also secretly raised near the hut. Except for Migako's time, they should not have been discovered.

Could it be that Migako not only told me, but also told Yukihime?

Zhihuang frowned, unable to think of a precise answer, so he could only guess like this.

Looking at Xing Ji's peaceful sleeping face, there was no trace of pity on his face. He turned around and went to get the gasoline barrel hidden in the secret compartment under the magic circle carpet.

Sometimes, in order to prevent the dogs from running around and being discovered, he would lock the dogs underneath.

He lifted up the carpet of the magic circle, opened the secret compartment, and saw the gasoline barrel below.

But just as he stretched out his hand to lift the oil barrel, the light oil barrel made his strength go nowhere, and his whole body fell to the ground.

"Ok?"

He stared blankly at the oil drum that he could lift with two fingers. It was obviously empty.

At this moment, a young voice sounded from the door of the wooden house behind him.

"It seems you are really hopeless..."

Zhihuang's back felt like being pricked by needles, and a chill rushed from his back to his forehead.

His eyes widened in surprise, and then he quickly looked back behind him.

I saw two figures, one tall and one short, standing at the door of the wooden house. Among them, the tall young man had his hands in his pockets, and the short one wore slightly reflective glasses on his face.

He immediately recognized that this was the child accompanying the two famous detectives!

When did they come?

Unlike Chiko's shocked and frightened faces, Conan and Hattori Heiji's mouths were filled with confident smiles.

"Are you surprised?"

"We are not surprised to see you here..."

In fact, before going to bed at night, Conan and Hattori Heiji had agreed to continue looking for clues.

The methods of the entire case and the identity of the murderer were almost figured out with Qin Zhibo's reminder and their own thinking.

All that's left is to lock in the evidence, that is, to find the most critical "magic dog."

At night, the murderer is likely to relax his vigilance, which is a good time for them to come back to the cabin to kill again.

So, the two gay friends sneaked out and searched around the cabin.

However, they didn't find the "Devil Dog" this time, but found the gasoline barrel hidden under the floor.

Putting the gasoline barrel in the dog house means that the murderer planned to burn the cabin and the "magic dog" together, so there would be no evidence to prove his death.

So, the two simply squatted nearby and waited for the prisoner to come.

As a result, not only Chiko was waiting, but Yukihime was also waiting.

Judging from the conversation between the two, Yukihime also guessed that the murderer was Chiko.

It's just that Yukihime is kind-hearted and wants to give him a chance to surrender.

But Zhihuang is a "madman" and cannot seize the opportunity, and even destroys the body and destroys all traces.

"you……"

The shock on Zhihuang's face returned a little, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

Seeing this, Conan glanced at Hattori Heiji. As usual, when the two gay friends were together at the same time, Hattori Heiji would be the main output force.

So Hattori Heiji spoke with an Osaka accent.

"Actually, your initial tactics did shock us a bit..."

"Using strips of cloth and red lights to create the effect of burning flames on the dog's body, just like the virtual flames on a TV quiz show."

"You can also open the gas port of the lighter, connect it with piano wire, and tie a burning charcoal block to the dog, so that the lighter on the path can be ignited to create the effect of flame footprints..."

"As for recycling, you should have trained the dog to leave with the ring at the end of the piano wire in its mouth."

"But your biggest failure is that you take the initiative to act like you are being attacked by a 'devil dog' in front of us..."

"Devil dogs cannot exist!"

"From that moment on, you have admitted that you are the murderer!"

This powerful line of reasoning made Zhihuang's eyes slowly widen.

This moment is a victory for the staunch materialists!

Chapter 1239 gives Conan’s worldview a little shock!

“Who on earth are you…?”

Inufushi Akira's face was filled with astonishment as he stared at the most adorable pair of gay friends with a height difference in front of him.

He had no idea that the cruel trick played out in front of everyone would expose him as the murderer.

What a shame he burned his own arm with a lighter!

That really hurts!

Hattori Heiji was very satisfied when he saw Chiko's expression and began to introduce himself.

"I forgot to introduce myself. I'm not some 'child'..."

"My name is Hattori Heiji, and I'm a detective."

He was obviously still holding a grudge against Shinichi Kudo for being described by the murderer as a "child who is easy to fool."

Zhihuang, who was squatting across from him, had a look of shock on his face, his pupils filled with disbelief.

When Chiaki visited Kudo Shinichi's home the day before his death, he heard from Kudo that a "child" was coming from Osaka to help investigate the Inufushi family case.

At that time, Kudo will also tell this "child" what he has learned.

After finishing the explanation, Kudo Shinichi took a deep look at Chiko among the adopted children.

It was that pointed look that made Chiko feel that Kudo Shinichi had noticed something.

Therefore, he decided to solve it immediately the night before.

But he never expected that this so-called child was actually as capable as a policeman...

No, a better detective than the police.

It was precisely because of the mysterious performance of the Gunma Prefecture police in the first two cases of demonic dog attacks that he had the illusion that he could use demonic dogs to deceive everyone.

Zhihuang's legs were kneeling on the ground, his head gradually lowered, and he seemed to have given up resistance.

But the next second, his mother's warm and kind smile like the sun appeared in his mind.

Ms. Suochen was not only an adoptive mother to him, but also a benefactor who supported him during the most frustrated and lowest period of his life.

Even if you fight until the last moment, you must repay the favor!

At least give this imposter woman...

Chiko's lowered eyes squinted at the unconscious Yukihime next to him. His body suddenly rose up, he took out a delicate switchblade from his trouser pocket and rushed towards Yukihime.

"Hello!"

Seeing that Chiko still refused to give up resistance, Hattori Heiji was about to rush over.

But Conan had already raised his anesthesia watch, aiming it fully at Chihuang's forehead.

Within seven steps, the anesthesia needle is accurate and fast!

whoosh-

There was a slight sound of breaking wind, and the anesthesia needle was inserted right into Zhihuang's forehead.

The powerful coma effect, several times stronger than ether, caused Chihuang's consciousness to collapse instantly, and his body fell to the ground uncontrollably.

Hattori Heiji, who was charging, was stunned for a moment when he saw Chiko who suddenly fainted again, and then realized that Conan still had a trump card.

He stepped forward and knelt down, took away the switchblade in Chihuang's hand, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

“That’s it, it’s over…”

Hattori Heiji glanced at Chiko's body and saw the anesthesia needle still on the skin of Chiko's forehead, and reached out to pull it out.

Hattori Heiji had always had some doubts about this needle, but he had never had the chance to ask.

That is……

"Kudo..."

"Do you think that every time this needle sticks into Mr. Maori's neck, it will never be removed?"

"Doesn't that mean the uncle's neck has a lot of anesthetic needles in it right now?"

In several previous cases in which he had cooperated with Conan, Hattori Heiji personally watched Conan shoot an anesthetic needle into Mouri Kogoro's neck.

And every time, Kogoro Mouri, who was hit by a needle, would first perform a graceful "dance".

Then, as if a magnet was installed between the buttocks, the seat, and the sofa, he sat firmly on it and entered a deep state.

This tacit cooperation makes

Hattori Heiji even felt like the two of them had agreed to play him.

"Forehead……"

Conan snapped on the sight cover of his watch and said nonchalantly, "This is a special anesthetic needle made by Dr. Agasa. It uses a self-degradable material."

"It will disappear on its own after a while..."

"Oh?" Hattori Heiji was surprised, "So amazing..."

Conan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Let's not worry about that for now. Let's find the dog he raised first..."

As he spoke, Conan squatted down next to Chiko's lower body and reached out to fumble through the pockets of his coat and trousers.

Since the "demon dog" can be summoned at will, he guessed that Zhihuang must be carrying a dog whistle with him.

This kind of dog whistle can emit audio sounds that are difficult for human ears to detect, but can be easily detected by dogs whose hearing is 16 times that of humans.

While Conan was groping around, Hattori Heiji next to him pulled out the anesthetic needle stuck in Chiko's forehead.

He touched the thin needle with his finger and felt nothing except a little coldness.
