Chapter 687: Dog City
Yuya sighed and asked Hattori Heiji: "By the way, didn't you say that two more people have passed away? Who are they?"
Hattori Heiji took out his phone, looked at the screen and said, "Let me see. In addition to Mr. Shinichi who was disguised as committing suicide by burning charcoal, before that, a lady named Migako passed away by the swamp."
Yuya threw a question mark over: "By the swamp?"
Hattori Heiji nodded. "It seems that the weeds that were originally difficult to burn and piled up by the swamp suddenly caught fire and trapped them to death. The next one was an uncle named Yingci who fell from a cliff and died."
Yuya: "The one who claimed to be chased by a burning demon dog?"
"Yes."
"Huh? Is there really a demon dog?" Toyama Kazuha and Mouri Ran immediately showed expressions of horror.
Conan looked up and said with a smile, "If you're scared, why don't you just stay at home?"
Mao Lilan laughed dryly and said, "But, when you hear something scary, it makes you care about the truth!"
Yuanshan Heye nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, I feel the same way."
Miyano Shiho was driving when she suddenly saw a sign in front of her. She stopped the car and took a look, and found that it said "Cliff ahead, no passage allowed" on it.
“It seems there is no road ahead.”
Yuya looked around, and just as he was looking for the road, a motorcycle stopped next to the car.
There was a young woman in the car. She breathed a sigh of relief: "It's a good thing you guys stopped."
"There is a cliff ahead. Someone fell off the cliff and died not long ago."
Yuya rolled down the window and said with a smile, "We are here to investigate that matter. We are looking for the way to Inufushi's house."
"Huh?" The young woman was startled, took off her helmet, and revealed a very beautiful face, "I am from the Inufushi family."
"Ok?"
···
Under the leadership of Inubushi Yukihime, everyone followed the correct path and arrived at the Inubushi family before dark.
Hattori Heiji looked at the rather luxurious mansion in front of him and said with emotion: "It really looks like the castle in Japan in the past."
Inubushi Yukihime smiled sheepishly: "Really? People who live nearby call this place Inubushi Castle."
Miyano Shiho looked at the surrounding scenery, then at the luxurious house, and said, "It doesn't look like a place cursed by a demon dog at all."
"Yes, yes." Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha responded reluctantly.
Although they were curious about the truth behind the curse, when they really arrived at the Inufushi family, they couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
Mao Lilan secretly asked Miyano Shiho: "Mio-chan, why aren't you afraid at all?"
Miyano Shiho tilted her head in confusion: "What are you afraid of?"
Mao Lilan lowered her voice and said, "The demon dog, the cursed demon dog in the legend!"
Miyano Shiho suddenly realized and said with a smile: "I don't believe those legends, and if anything happens, You will protect me."
Mao Lilan was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked at Conan, and immediately shook her head: Forget it, Conan is so small, it is better to pray that he can fill the teeth of the demon dog than to expect him to protect herself.
Conan suddenly shuddered, looked around in confusion, and felt a little suspicious: Why do I feel like some villains want to harm me?
"Uuuuuu——"
Suddenly, a low whimpering sound was heard behind them.
Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha were startled: "What, what is that?"
Just as they were about to look back, Miyano Shiho's excited voice rang out: "Wow, what a cute Akita dog!"
"Akita Inu?" Mao Li Ran and Toyama Kazuha looked at each other, turned around quickly, and saw Miyano Shiho holding an Akita Inu and rubbing its neck gently.
"What's this child's name?" Miyano Shiho turned and asked Inubushi Yukihime.
Inufushi Yukihime smiled and replied, "Call me Hachi."
"Xiao Ba, right? Yoshi, so good~" Miyano Shiho teased Xiao Ba's chin with her fingers, and the latter made a comfortable purring sound.
Conan looked as if he had seen a ghost and nudged Yuya's knee with his elbow: "Hey, what's wrong with this guy?" Could this freak scientist also have such a little girl's expression?
Yuu looked at Conan in confusion: "Mio likes small animals very much."
Conan said with empty eyes: "Are you sure she likes animals, not dissecting them?"
Hmm? Yuya's eyebrows jumped, and he directly asked Conan to taste a chestnut.
Just as Conan was holding his head and screaming in pain, the door of the Inufushi family suddenly opened. A lady in her forties stood at the door and said angrily: "Xingji, the guests don't know, but you don't know? When a dog is barking, if you call its name or even touch it, it will be mistaken for praising its behavior. How many times do I have to tell you?"
"Yes, I'm sorry, Sister Koko." Inubushi Yukihime apologized quickly.
The person who came was Quanfu Kaozi, one of the eight adopted children of the Quanfu family.
Inufu Kaozi looked at Yuya and the others and asked unkindly, "What are you doing here?"
Yuya stepped forward and said, "My name is Yuya Kamiya, I'm a detective, and I'm here to inquire about the deceased Mr. Yingci and Ms. Migako."
"Detective?" Inufushi Yukihime was stunned.
"Kamiya?" Inufushi Kaoko was stunned.
Youya noticed that Inufushi Koko's expression was a little strange, and smiled faintly: "It seems that Miss Koko has heard of me."
Inufushi Koko said dissatisfiedly: "But the police have come to investigate several times some time ago, and they have confirmed that Yingci's death was an accident."
Yuya said: "Maybe. But now there is another case that looks like an accident but is actually a murder..."
Inubushi Yukihime said thoughtfully, "Are you talking about Mr. Shinichi who passed away in Tokyo?"
Inufushi Koko suddenly remembered something: "Ah, come to think of it, when Shinichi left this house, he did mention some horrible rumor that someone was using a cursed demon dog to wipe out the Inufushi family."
She sneered disdainfully: "There is no such thing as a curse, please don't worry. And if such words get to my mother's ears, she will be very sad."
Youye was stunned: "Mrs. Suochen also lives here?"
Inufushi Yukihime nodded: "Yes."
You was also surprised: "I heard that she has been in a coma. I thought she was in the hospital."
"Yeah," Inubushi Yukihime sighed, "but she's been in a coma the whole time, so there's almost no way to communicate."
The two of them brought Youye and the others to Ms. Soshen's room, where she was lying in bed, soundly asleep.
Kneeling beside her was a man who was in charge of taking care of her. He was also one of her eight adopted children, named Inubushi Chiaki.
