Dr. A Li and the middle-aged man all entered the pavilion, but after entering the pavilion, the little Labrador still barked at the stone table, which made the middle-aged man very embarrassed.
If he were the person lying on the stone table, he would definitely be very unhappy if a dog kept barking at him.
Therefore, the middle-aged man quickly stopped his pet dog and said, "Dolby, be obedient, stop barking, and be polite, do you understand?"
The little Labrador seemed to be able to really understand people's words. He stopped yelling and just pulled his owner's trouser legs, and then whined at the stone table.
"Be good." The middle-aged man smiled and stroked the little Labrador's head, trying to comfort it.
Seeing this, Hoshino Sora couldn't help but take another look at the stone table. Then, he sniffed and asked Kudo Shinichi and Dr. Agasa: "Shinichi, doctor, do you smell anything? It seems like something. The smell of spoilage.”
Kudo Shinichi and Dr. A Li sniffed, but neither smelled anything.
Seeing that neither of them could smell it, Hoshino Sora found the source of the smell on his own. Soon, he discovered that the source was the person lying on the stone table.
"Oh, I understand. The reason why the puppy barks is because of the smell on his body." Hoshino Sora suddenly realized.
"Woof woof~" the little Labrador barked twice at Hoshino Sora, seeming to say 'that's right'.
"Oh, I don't understand what you said either." Hoshino Sora squatted down and sighed. He thought of Apache. If he were Apache, he would definitely be able to understand the puppy's words and then know the reason for the dog's barking. .
The sudden barking of the puppy and the strange smell mentioned by Hoshino Sora made Kudo Shinichi interested in this matter.
"Are the two related? Is it like Akong said that the strange smell made the puppy scream..."
While Kudo Shinichi was thinking, he came to the stone table and looked curiously at the lying man. The man must be drunk. He was lying face down on the table with his left hand as a cushion and his right hand stretched out straight to dominate. Covering most of the tabletop.
"There's no snoring?"
Kudo Shinichi's first reaction after the close contact was this, but it didn't matter. There is no theory that proves that drunk people will snore.
While Hoshino Sora and Dr. Agasa were replenishing water, Kudo Shinichi shifted his gaze from the stone table to under the stone table. It was just a casual look at first, but suddenly, he was stunned.
"That is……"
Kudo Shinichi was shocked, and then he made a move that puzzled everyone present. He squatted down at the feet of the drunk man, and then reached out to pull the man's right trouser leg.
"Rub~"
"Hiss~"
The moment the trouser legs were pulled up, there was a sound of gasping in the pavilion, followed by exclamations and the continuous barking of dogs.
Under the pulled-up trouser leg, I saw a purple and black calf. It looked hideous and ugly, and the horrified puppy barked. The middle-aged and elderly people also trembled.
"Is this?" Dr. Ali was also shocked and hurried over, "Sir, are you okay?"
"Doctor, send him to the hospital quickly, he was bitten by a snake." Kudo Shinichi shouted urgently.
"Ah, okay." Dr. Ali stepped forward to help the man up, and turned to the middle-aged man for help, "Sir, can you help me?"
"Okay." The middle-aged man immediately let go of the dog's leash and went to help.
However, when the two of them lifted the drunken man up and tried to move, Kudo Shinichi discovered a dark purple-red mark on the man's face.
Seeing this, his heart skipped a beat. He reached out and grabbed the man's wrist, felt for his pulse, shook his head and said, "Stop, he's dead."
"What!" Everyone was shocked.
"No!" Hoshino Sora exclaimed.
The middle-aged man shuddered and let go of his holding hand on the spot, and the drunk man lay down half of his body again. Dr. A Li was holding one side, and after hearing what Kudo Shinichi said, he stopped moving around.
"Dead?" Dr. A Li's face turned solemn after confirming in person, "He's not breathing. It seems he was poisoned by snake venom and didn't call for help in time... It's better to call the police."
"Doctor, did you bring your phone?" Kudo Shinichi asked.
"I brought it with me, but in the car." Dr. Ali replied.
After all, a mobile phone is too heavy. Carrying it when climbing mountains is no less than carrying a heavy load. No one knew that this kind of thing would happen!
"So... Akora, you are fast. Go call the police. Everyone else will stay here and wait for the police to arrive." Kudo Shinichi gave orders directly to Hoshino Sora.
Hoshino Sora had no problem, but the old man had an objection, "Why do you want me to wait here?"
"First, we are the first discoverers and should stay and cooperate with the police investigation; second, grandpa, you came to this pavilion before us. If this is a homicide case, you won't be able to explain clearly if you leave. Yes." Kudo Shinichi said as he asked Dr. Agasa to give Hoshino Sora the car keys.
"His murder? My little friend, you don't suspect that I am the murderer, do you?" The old man frowned and looked at Dr. Ali angrily, "Sir, please take care of your grandson."
"Sorry, sorry, he is not my grandson, but my neighbor's child. He did not suspect you, he just wanted you to stay and cooperate with the police. After all, something like this happened here... If you are really in a hurry, you can stay It's okay to give me the contact information." Dr. Ali felt ashamed that he was so old, but at the same time, he spoke much more tactfully and softly than Kudo Shinichi.
After listening to Dr. Agasa's words, the old man nodded, glanced at Kudo Shinichi, and said with a hint of displeasure: "Forget it, I'd better stay to avoid being suspected."
Kudo Shinichi looked at the middle-aged man again, "Uncle, you have to stay too."
"I came in with you. Logically speaking, even if it is a homicide case, it has nothing to do with me." The middle-aged man said while comforting the puppy.
"That's not necessarily the case. Many prisoners like to return to the crime scene to watch after the incident." Kudo Shinichi said.
"No, you've read too many detective novels. How could there be such a stupid criminal!" The middle-aged man couldn't believe it. "I just went up the mountain to walk my dog. Why am I now a suspect?"
"I didn't say you were a prisoner, uncle, it's just a possibility." As Kudo Shinichi spoke, he began to walk around the deceased, trying to find the truth like Sherlock Holmes.
At this time, Dr. Agasa also gave the car keys to Hoshino Sora, "The phone is in the passenger drawer."
"Well, then I'll call the police." Hoshino Sora took the key and ran down the mountain in a gust of wind.
For a time, there were only three adults, a child, and a cold corpse left in the pavilion.
