Chapter 689 8 minus 4
The person is beyond help, but...
Youya stood up and looked towards the cliff, where he could still vaguely see some fire.
He turned around and asked Inufushi Yukihime: "Miss Yukihime, besides the mountain road, is there any other shortcut to the top of the cliff?"
Perhaps infected by Yuya's calmness, Inufushi Yukihime came to her senses, nodded and said, "Yes! It's faster to go directly through the forest!"
This is the territory of the Inubushi family. As the adopted daughter of the Inubushi family, Yukihime should be very familiar with this place.
Youye nodded and said, "Then please lead the way!"
He turned to Miyano Shiho and shouted, "Mio, you and Xiaolan stay here and look after Miss Saki!"
Miyano Shiho nodded immediately: "I understand."
Inubushi Yukihime took the lead and ran towards the top of the cliff, and Youya quickly followed.
Seeing this, Hattori Heiji and Conan followed closely.
"Wait, wait a minute, Heiji! Are you going to leave us girls here?" Toyama Kazuha stretched out her hand towards Hattori Heiji.
Hattori Heiji shouted as he ran, "Stay here and don't run around. Nothing will happen!"
"But the demon dog..."
"That's just a legend!"
The sound gradually faded away, and soon the four people's backs could no longer be seen.
Yuanshan Heye held Mao Lilan's arm with some fear and looked around: "Xiaolan..."
Mao Lilan was actually very scared, but she still tried to comfort him, "It's okay, it's okay. Didn't Hattori say that the demon dog is just a legend..."
"But, but!" Yuanshan Heye looked up, her face turned pale and she quickly lowered her head, "It seems to be burning!"
Mao Lilan's mouth twitched, and she kept muttering: "It's just a legend, just a legend..."
Miyano Shiho looked at the two people who were shivering in each other's arms and shook her head in amusement.
She turned and walked to Inubushi Saki, squatted down to check on him. The latter had completely lost consciousness and his breathing had become very weak.
Miyano Shiho sighed. There was nothing here, so even if she wanted to do something she couldn't. Moreover, she didn't dare to move Inubushi Saki's body at will, in case she caused further harm to her, it would be troublesome.
Just as she was about to get up, she suddenly saw a spot of light out of the corner of her eye.
Miyano Shiho turned her head and found that a glass bead had fallen next to Inubushi Saki, and it was crackling under the light of the car lights.
"This is..." Miyano Shiho frowned slightly, and subconsciously bent down to pick it up, but suddenly stopped when she was about to touch it.
She looked at the unconscious Inubushi Sasaki thoughtfully, took out a small transparent plastic bag from her pocket, picked up the glass beads through the bag, and put them into the bag.
Tell Miyano Shiho directly that this glass bead may contain some clues.
···
On the other side, Yuya and the other two, led by Inubushi Yukihime, ran all the way to the top of the cliff.
However, the burning dog had disappeared, and what remained were only strings of burning flames on the ground, extending all the way to the end of the cliff.
The flames were like the footprints left by a burning demon dog.
When they returned to the Inufushi family, everyone was shocked by what happened.
They were not only surprised by Inubushi Sasaki's sudden fall from the cliff, but also by the flaming footprints that appeared on the cliff.
"Are there really footprints of fire on the cliff?" Yuanshan Heye asked in horror.
Hattori Heiji nodded, looked at the others, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, 20 meters from the edge of the cliff, the burning dots of fire are just like the scene after the legendary burning demon dog ran past."
"Ah!" Mouri Ran and Toyama Kazuha couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.
Miyano Shiho was a little unconvinced and looked at Yuya with an inquiring look, but the latter gave her an affirmative look.
Inufu Kaozi also didn't believe it and speculated, "Could it be that someone deliberately spread gasoline and set it on fire to pretend that a demon dog was passing by?"
Yuya denied it, "But we didn't smell any gasoline."
"Moreover, the closer the flames got to the cliff, the larger the distance became. Even the fire became bigger, as if the burning object was getting bigger along the way."
"Sure enough, it's the cursed demon dog!" Mao Lilan shouted with a pale face.
Yuanshan Heye was also extremely scared: "It really exists! Miss Zuoji who fell from the cliff also said that she saw a burning dog!"
Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes and said with disdain: "Fool, there is no such thing as a demon dog in this world. This is just a trick to deceive people. The purpose is just to make people think that demon dogs really exist."
Conan agreed, "Of course, and also to put the blame on the demon dog for his own crimes."
"That's right!" Suddenly, a somewhat sharp voice came out.
Hearing this familiar voice, Yuya and Conan turned their heads and were stunned at the same time.
"Police Officer Yamamura?!" Mao Lilan shouted the other party's name in surprise.
Shancuncao raised his finger and said in a serious tone, "In this increasingly digital age, there are still people who are panicking because of the legend of the demon dog. This is really outrageous!"
After that, he asked rather proudly, "How about it, isn't the comparison between the digitization and the demon dog cool?"
"Uh..." Everyone looked speechless.
Hattori Heiji pouted and asked Yuya: "Who is this guy?"
Yuya tilted his mouth and replied: "Don't be fooled by his silly appearance, he is actually a detective from Gunma Prefecture."
The corners of Conan's mouth twitched. Because the Inufushi family lived in the mountains, they didn't pay too much attention to the area. They didn't expect that this was the area of Gunma Prefecture?
Inufushi Yukihime suddenly thought of something and asked anxiously, "Um, how is Miss Zuoji?"
Shancuncao said: "I'm not sure, I just know that she has been rushed to the hospital by ambulance."
"It's the hospital where I work," Inufushi Chiaki sighed, "My colleague from the hospital just called me and said that Miss Zuo Ji had passed away in the ambulance..."
"How could this happen..." Inubushi Yukihime couldn't believe it, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
Inufu Zen also looked very embarrassed, and said through gritted teeth: "Although I don't know if that is the legendary demon dog, and who is controlling it behind the scenes... That guy must have some deep hatred with our Inufu family..."
Inufushi Koko's expression also darkened: "That's right, now half of the eight adopted children have passed away..."
Yuya secretly added in his mind that to be precise, he was killed.
Miyano Shiho walked up to Yuya and handed him the thing in her hand: "This is what I just found next to Miss Saki."
Yuya took it and looked at it, with a puzzled expression: "Glass beads?"
