Deep darkness enveloped the entire forest.椕
Below the clouds, on the side of the brown rock dotted with dark green moss, the devil dog that caused four deaths and one injury was raising one hind leg, leisurely marking the smell of "I'm here for a visit".
Drones mimicked by nano-robots are more convenient than long-lasting.
Therefore, Ye Gengyi was not prepared to waste time.
When the target was locked, he sent a command and used the catapult to shoot an anesthetic needle that reduced the amount of medicine by a certain percentage to knock the opponent down.
Glancing at the side of the slightly sloping dirt road not far away, Mouri Kogoro and others were still surrounding Inufushi Chiaki to help treat his left arm that had been burned by the flames.
Ye Gengyi had no intention of saying hello, so he confirmed the direction and quickly walked into the forest.
Different from the path that was trampled by too many people walking on it, the mountain forest filled with wild plants seemed very narrow.椕
There was no way to avoid scratches and stains on the coat, so Ye Geng used nanorobots to attach a thin layer of 'armor' to the surface of his skin. It took him a few minutes to reach that area. In front of the weather-beaten rocks.
…
the other side.
Conan and Hattori Heiji found another onion tree near the scene.
In Japanese, 'onion' is also called 'jade onion', and 'jade' means 'bead'.
Judging from the previous four incidents, Chiaki Inufushi is clearly the next victim. The most important thing is that the one who attacked him was not a murderer, but a real demon dog.
While Mouri Kogoro, Yamamura Misao and Inubushi Yukihime were shocked.椕
Conan looked around for a while and found new clues:
"Huh? Hattori, look...a piece of white cloth fell here, and there seems to be traces of something dragging it on the ground."
Hattori Heiji came over and squatted down to check: "Really...not only are there traces of dragging, but there are also some less obvious small pits at intervals..."
Speaking of this, they suddenly thought of the smell of rotten onions smelled by Yuan Shanheye when he fell, and the flames that Mao Lilan mentioned making a 'clicking' sound while constantly beating.
The two were silent for a while, then the corners of their mouths raised almost at the same time, and they turned to look at each other with a confident smile.
"I understand."
Conan was the first to speak: "The land next to the swamp is relatively soft, and few people come here, so there is the Inubushi family's yard on the cliff before. It's not that there isn't, but because it's too dark and the ground is covered with weeds. We didn't find it! As for the smell, if I guessed correctly, it should be the gas in the lighter, right?"
"Indeed, the murderer only needs to adjust the air outlet of the lighter to a state of continuous air leakage, and then wrap it with fishing line or piano wire to simulate the scene of beating flames. The reason why He Ye fell to the position where he did not The fire happened because she threw the lighter gas nozzle into the soil..."
Hattori Heiji continued his analysis: "But the problem is that the 'devil dog' with its whole body exuding fire can light the lighters along the road. It really only needs to carry an ignition source with it..."
He paused and turned his head to look at the gray-faced Inufushi Akira over there, "But how is the kind of flame that can burn the body formed and retained in the dog's body?"
"Um……"
Conan thought for a while and hypothesized: "If the dog's body was wrapped with cloth strips and lit with flames, then the body of the burned dog should be found nearby. Even if the murderer used a fire extinguisher to put out the fire in time, causing a 'devil dog' 'There should be some corresponding traces of the illusion that suddenly disappeared into the night."
"yes……"
Hattori Heiji added, "If the murderer parked the truck a little further away, and waited for the dog to go back, he would go to the shelf to help the dog put out the fire. Although there would be no traces of the use of the fire extinguisher, there would definitely be traces of the use of the fire extinguisher on the wet ground. It will leave tire marks, not to mention... we didn't hear the car's engine at all."
After such reasoning, the two fell into deep thought again.
There is still a lack of key information, otherwise there is no way to solve the mystery of the murderer causing the demon dog, which was burning brightly, to disappear into the darkness...
"Hey! Have you two seen Genichi?"
At this time, their ears suddenly heard Kogoro Mouri's confused shout.
Hattori Heiji stood up, looked around habitually, and murmured: "It's true... Saraichi-san is missing..."
His words also made Conan open his eyes wide, and he immediately stood up on tiptoes to try to find that familiar figure in the dark environment.
"No, it can't be right?"
Yamamura Cao couldn't help but murmured in a trembling voice: "Could it be that... Expert Ye was taken away by a magic dog?"
"What?!"
Inubushi Yukihime was shocked by Yamamura Cao's words.
Even Inu Fushiko's face showed a slightly stunned expression.
"Please, let's take a step back. Even if the 'Demon Dog' is real, logically Genichi is not a member of the Inubushi family. How could he be attacked?"
After Conan murmured something in a low voice, he was almost speechless for the rookie police officer. He sighed in his heart... Oh, it is my responsibility to let such a person become the police department of a county.
Hearing this, Hattori Heiji also curled his lips and gave a fairly reasonable guess, "Saraichi-san probably discovered the traces of the 'Devil Dog' and went after it alone!"
As he spoke, he also turned on the flashlight to the brightest and began to look around the cabins beside the swamp.
They should despise Yamamura's unreliability, but this did not prevent them from being worried about Ye Gengyi's behavior of chasing the "devil dog" alone.
You know, the murderer used a mechanism that even they couldn't figure out yet.
If that kind of flame is a device that can be turned on and off remotely, then Brother Geng Yi might be in danger right now!
It's just... looking at this forest that can be said to have no roads, but also can be said to be roads no matter how you walk, you can't find it at all...
"hateful!"
Hattori Heiji's brain was running rapidly. Most of his attention at that time was focused on Inufushi Akira. He could only vaguely lock an area according to his intuition, pointed there, turned to Mouri Kogoro and shouted:
"Uncle! Hurry up and drive your car to that area and keep honking the horn!"
This method is similar to some electronic alarms. It itself does not have strong anti-theft capabilities, but it can continuously make harsh noises. The party who commits illegal things has a guilty conscience and hears such disturbing noises. After the noise, impatience and restlessness can force him to make mistakes or simply abort the crime.
"good!"
Mouri Kogoro also understood this truth. After answering, he hurried to the car, only to find that there was no key inserted in the ignition switch. He remembered that when a group of people explored the cabin ten minutes ago, Ye Geng threw the car key to Inubushi. That scene with Chiaki.
He quickly put his head in and shouted to the heir of the Inubushi family who had a solemn face and didn't know what he was thinking:
"Hey! Mr. Chihuang! Do you have the car keys with you?"
"Ah? Here... here..."
Inufushi Chiko's reaction was slightly sluggish, and he was stunned for a few seconds before lowering his head, and using his uninjured right hand, he began to fumble in his pocket in a panic.
Oops, ouch...how could this happen? Doesn't that young man know what he's afraid of? They had obviously let the 'Demon Dog' appear in front of them. How could they have the guts to run into the forest alone to look for such a creature that was beyond common sense?
No, we must not let him find it! The forest is so big, it should be too late, otherwise I, who had faced the attack of the devil dog, would have no room for explanation... Where is the key? ! Where did I put my keys? !
The more anxious Inufuzhiko became, the more he was in a hurry.
Suddenly, he felt that the atmosphere around him suddenly became quiet.
Immediately afterwards, the dark-skinned high school student shouted excitedly: "Brother Gengyi."
