Ahead, more than a dozen people gathered around the exit of the underground sidewalk. After noticing the police getting out of the car, they quickly backed away and watched as the police entered the entrance of the underground sidewalk.
Mouri Kogoro was stunned for a moment, then walked forward quickly, "Hey, hey, what happened..."
Chi Feichi looked at the police car on the roadside and followed it calmly.
This scene looked familiar, and it looked like something had happened.
It was the police from the Mika Town Police Station, not the Police Criminal Division of the Metropolitan Police Department, which meant that it was not certain whether the incident was a homicide...
"Woof! Woof woof!"
A golden retriever led by its owner barked at Chi Feichi and others, its tail wagging happily behind it.
"Kerr!" The man holding the dog quickly tightened the leash, turned to look at the group of people coming over, recognized Chi Feichi, and greeted with a surprised smile, "It turns out to be Dr. Chi."
Chi Feichi looked at the man's face and couldn't remember his name for a moment. When he got closer, he looked down at the golden retriever that was happily rubbing against his legs and said hello, "Kerr."
Yueshui Nanatsuki glanced at Chi Feichi secretly, lowered his head and suppressed a smile.
She suddenly remembered that in the evening some time ago, Mr. Chi and her were watching the street scene from the balcony on the second floor of the Seventh Detective Agency. From time to time, people passed by with pets on the street. Mr. Chi could name several dogs, but for those who kept them For people who are dogs, I can only say that they have a good temper, they like to wear strong perfume, they have a very loud voice...
As for the name of the pet owner, Mr. Chi told her frankly - 'I don't remember'.
The only person whose surname Mr. Chi could barely guess was because the name of that person's shepherd dog was 'Nobita Fukada'. Mr. Chi said, 'The owner's surname should be Fukada'.
Mr. Chi explained that this is because pet doctors often see the pet’s name and gender when looking at medical records and examination reports, but the pet owner’s name does not appear in a conspicuous place. During the examination or treatment process, the doctor and the Pet owners will call their pets' names repeatedly to make their pets calm down after hearing the familiar pronunciation. Therefore, for pet doctors, pet names are what they have the most contact with and will remember them more clearly. In comparison, pet owners just accompany them. Family members who see the doctor, those who are willing to accompany their pets to the doctor, will not feel ignored because the doctor only pays attention to the pet.
That being said...
(*)
But Mr. Chi just saw the pet owner, thought about it for a moment, and decisively chose to say hello to the pet. She could think of Mr. Chi's series of thoughts like "I can't remember the name" and "Say hello to Kerr, it counts as saying hello." I feel that Mr. Chi is inexplicably cute.
"Woof woof! Woof woof woof!"
Ker rubbed against Chi Feichi's legs enthusiastically.
The barking in Chi Feichi's ears was - "Doctor! Touch me! Touch me quickly!"
The man didn't care that Chi Feichi only greeted his own pet. When he saw Kerr rubbing against Chi Feichi, he was a little worried that his pet would be too enthusiastic and scare other people. He tried his best to tighten the dog's leash to comfort him, "Okay, okay, Kerr, I know you are happy, but please be a little quieter!"
Chi Feichi put his hand on Ker's head, touched the dog's head, and began to turn the dog's ears, "It's okay, we haven't seen each other for a long time..."
Kerr immediately stopped jumping forward and stood obediently, with his tail dangling behind him.
When Haihara Ai saw that his brother was starting to suffer from the occupational disease of "turning ears when seeing a dog", he waited for Chi Feichi to turn both of Ker's ears before he stepped forward and reached out to rub the dog.
"Ha...ha..." Ker stretched out his tongue and gasped. Suddenly he tilted his head with doubtful eyes, and quickly backed away, keeping a distance from Chi Feichi. His movements were so fast that he almost lost the leash in his master's hand.
Before Haiyuan Ai's hand fell on Kerr's head, when he saw Kerr suddenly retreating, he was a little at a loss, "Did I scare it?"
Kerr just tilted his head and stared at Chi Feichi, his eyes filled with doubts and horror written with 'I don't understand', "Uu? Uu..."
Translation: Can it fly? Can't fly?
Chi Feichi: "..."
Could it be that when he turned into a crow and wandered around Mihua Town, was Kerr seen him? Or was he seen by Kerr when he turned into a half-man and flew in the sky?
I'm so sorry, but he is not in the shape of a crow today and cannot fly.
"Kerr?" The man squatted down in confusion and patted Kerr on the back. "It doesn't seem to be afraid or wanting to attack people."
Hui Yuan Ai noticed that Kerr had been looking at Chi Feichi and cast a suspicious look at Chi Feichi.
"Maybe there is some smell on me that he doesn't like." Chi Feichi said, taking another step forward.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
Shicheng Ker corrected online: 'No, the doctor has changed! '
In the eyes of men, this kind of behavior is more like 'Kerr really doesn't like a certain smell of Dr. Chi'. He tightened the rope and smiled helplessly to appease, "Kerr, he is the Dr. Chi you like very much, 伱Aren't you very happy to see him just now? Please be quiet, I have other things to do."
"Speaking of which..." Mouri Kogoro looked at the entrance to the underground sidewalk where the police entered, looked at the policeman next to the man, and asked aloud, "Did something happen here?"
"this……"
The man was still a little confused, but the male policeman standing aside had already recognized Chi Feichi and Maori Kogoro.
"It turns out to be Mr. Chi," the policeman greeted Chi Feichi with a smile, and then smiled at Maori Kogoro, "I didn't expect to see Mr. Maori Kogoro here. I'm really honored!"
Chi Feichi nodded to the police as a sign of greeting.
It's another familiar face, he seems to be... a subordinate of Yu Sakurada from the Mihua Police Station?
He was deeply impressed by how fierce Sakurada was handling cases before, and he was also a little impressed by the police officers who appeared next to Sakurada at that time.
When a group of people were talking, Ker put aside his previous doubts about Chi Feichi and came to Chi Feichi's feet. He saw Feichi crawling out of Chi Feichi's sleeves, raised his neck, and pointed his nose towards Feichi. He leaned forward and kept smelling the scent of Fei Chi.
Fei Chi also stretched his neck and put his chin on Kerr's big black nose.
Haiyuan Ai was originally prepared to reach out and pull away the snake to prevent a dog and a snake from biting each other. She didn't expect to see such a harmonious and friendly scene. She was startled for a moment, and then slowly lowered her outstretched hand and touched it. He touched Feichi's head and then Ker's head.
She thought that Kerr had smelled Feichi's scent just now and that's why he barked at Feichi. But now it seems that's not the case. Kerr and Feichi seem to be friends...
"Really?" Mouri Kogoro thought that people would recognize him wherever he went. He grinned with pride. He quickly calmed down the smug look on his face, put his fist in front of his mouth, and coughed seriously, "Then... …”
"The thing is like this..." The male policeman understood, turned to look at the entrance of the underground sidewalk, and talked about what he learned, "According to this gentleman, it was about ten o'clock when he walked his dog and passed by here. Seeing the dog barking towards the entrance, he looked down and found someone lying at the bottom of the steps..."
"I shouted twice, but the person who fell below was still motionless. I quickly tied Kerr to the railing over there." The man pointed to the railing near the entrance to the underground sidewalk. "I went down to check on the other person's situation. I found that the other party seemed to have fallen and hit his head. There was a lot of blood near the head, so I immediately called an ambulance and called the police..."
"There have been several burglaries in this area recently, and we are strengthening security inspections," the male police officer said seriously. "After the department received the police notification, we asked our colleagues who were patrolling nearby to rush over. However, our colleagues rushed over When we arrived, the man lying below was no longer breathing. Since it was a life-threatening incident, the department immediately asked us to rush over to help maintain order at the scene, and the ambulance just returned."
"I see," Mouri Kogoro sighed heavily, "Is there no way to save the person? That's really a pity..."
"Yes," the male policeman said, and then looked at Kerr who was staying next to his owner. "Currently, we can't rule out that the dog barked when passing by, scaring the deceased and causing him to fall. , after all, the deceased was already quite old.”
Mao Lilan was a little surprised, "How could..."
Master Ker noticed passers-by looking here, with a little anxiety and worry on his face, but he still explained to a group of people in a good-tempered manner, "No, the deceased Mr. Xiangyue lives near my house. Although he doesn't like children, Animals, but they are not easily scared by small animals. I definitely don’t want to shirk responsibility, but when I went downstairs to check the situation, a lot of blood was already flowing out of Mr. Xiangyue’s head, and the blood on the ground was somewhat solidified, and When I called an ambulance, I followed the doctor's instructions and squatted down to see Mr. Xiangyue's condition. He was no longer breathing. Judging from the situation, he should have fallen down the steps before we arrived. , Kerr has undergone some training before and is relatively sensitive to the smell of blood. It probably smelled the smell of blood before barking towards the entrance..."
"Officer Iwai!"
Another middle-aged male policeman ran forward, took a deep breath, and said seriously, "I went to call the surveillance camera in front of the convenience store and the surveillance camera at the intersection. They all captured the footage of Mr. Yagizawa walking by with his dog. The times were 9:56 pm and 9:45 pm respectively. If they were moving at the speed captured in the surveillance video, they would have arrived here around 10 pm sharp."
Iwai rubbed his chin to sort out his thoughts, "According to the judgment of our police, the time when the deceased Mr. Xiangyue fell down the steps should be 9:40 pm. From this point of view, Mr. Xiangyue fell long before Kerr arrived here. The steps were gone, it’s impossible that he fell down because of Kerr’s scream.”
Master Ker breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense expression relaxed.
"That's great." Haiyuan Ai stood next to Kerr and patted Kerr's dog's head. "Your suspicion has been cleared, Kerr!"
Kerr was heartless and just stuck out his tongue and gasped at Haiyuan Ai, looking harmless and cute.
"So, did Mr. Xiangyue fall by himself?" Mouri Kogoro asked.
"When Mr. Yagizawa saw Mr. Xiangyue, he didn't see anyone suspicious nearby," Iwai looked at the entrance to the underground sidewalk, "but Mr. Xiangyue must have fallen for a long time, if he was pushed down. , the person who pushed him down also had time to escape the scene, so we need to further investigate this incident, and also ask Mr. Yagizawa to leave his contact information. Then, you can go back with Kerr first, if there is anything needed Check with you and we will contact you again.”
Yagizawa Hiroshi nodded, took out a business card and handed it to Iwai, "Here, this is my business card. I have been free recently, you can contact me at any time."
