Chapter 699: Inufu 8 children, 8 lines of benevolence and righteousness
Inufu Kaoshi and others also came over.
After hearing what Yuya said, Inufushi Zen asked in confusion: "But even if the gas from the lighter is released, how can it burn if there is no fire source?"
“It’s impossible to order them one by one, right?”
"As for the source of fire, yes." Conan's voice suddenly sounded.
Miyano Shiho raised the flashlight and shone it over, only to see Conan standing next to the "demon dog's" tail, holding something that was emitting sparks in his hand.
Conan raised the object in his hand and said, "It's this wire ball tied to the dog's tail. There are red-hot coals in it. As long as it passes by the place where the lighter is placed, they will be ignited one by one. It looks like the demon dog leaves burning footprints wherever it runs."
Mao Lilan asked: "But we didn't find any lighters in the yard at that time? What's going on?"
Youya walked in front of the magic dog, bent down and picked up the piano wire on the ground. Everyone looked and found that the magic dog was tied to something.
Yuya said, "In fact, this dog will not really attack people, but will just run along the scent of the lighter that the murderer had placed beforehand."
"After running to a place where there are no lighters, they will hold this thing in their mouths and take it away, and they will also take the lighter with them."
"That's why you heard the crackling sound and dancing flames."
"But," Inufu Zen suddenly thought of something and pointed at Zhi Huang beside him and said, "Didn't Mr. Zhi Huang get burned after being knocked down by the demon dog? What's going on here?"
Hattori Heiji raised his lips slightly, looked at Inufushi Chiaki and said, "Of course he got burned, because..."
Yuya also came over: "Because he burned himself."
"What?" Everyone showed surprised expressions.
Inufushi Chiaki's expression also changed: "What nonsense are you talking about? Wasn't I also attacked by the demon dog?"
Yuya smiled faintly and turned to look at Inufu Koko: "Ms. Koko, I heard that you also raised a dog before, right?"
Inufu Koko was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Yuya said, "So, if your dog jumped on you, what would be your first reaction?"
Inufu Kaozi was puzzled, but still said as a matter of course: "What other reason could that be? Of course a dog will jump on its owner happily when it sees him... Ah! What do you mean?!"
She looked at Inubushi Chiaki in surprise, and the latter's face changed drastically, but she couldn't see clearly in the dark.
"That's right." Youya nodded, "The reason why Mr. Chi Huang was attacked by the demon dog was simply because the dog happily jumped into the arms of its owner."
"At that time, after we entered the wooden house, he placed the prepared lighter on the embankment and used a dog whistle to call the dog hiding nearby, acting out a scene of being chased by a demon dog."
"After being knocked down by the demon dog, he fell down where we couldn't see him, turned off the lights to let the dog go, and set his arm on fire."
"The purpose of doing all this is naturally to make us believe in the existence of the cursed demon dog."
"As for putting onions on the side, it was probably to confuse the smell that Mio smelled. It's a pity that he didn't expect that Mio could identify the components of that smell so clearly."
Miyano Shiho took out the letter she had written before and said, "So, this letter that Miss Yukiji left to atone for her sins was also written by him? In order to let me take the blame for the murder for him."
Mao Lilan asked hurriedly: "Where is Miss Yuki?"
Yuya pointed to the cabin behind him and said, "She was unconscious in the cabin, but we have moved her to a safe place."
"Mr. Zhihuang used the excuse that he had lost Ms. Suochen's medicine and asked Ms. Xingji to bring him to the swamp to look for it."
Inubushi Chiaki looked at Yuya with shock on his face and asked subconsciously: "Did you see everything?" Otherwise, how could he tell every word of his conversation with Yukihime?
Youye smiled faintly: "Of course, because we were following you at that time."
"According to your plan, Miss Yuki and the demon dog would have burned themselves in the cabin together. What a pity."
"No, that's not it..." Inufushi Chiaki waved his hands in panic, trying to explain, but was interrupted.
He looked down and saw that the "ferocious" demon dog was now sitting obediently in front of him, looking up at him quietly.
Inufu Koko looked at this scene with a gloomy expression: "A dog will never mistake its owner, Mr. Zhihuang, I didn't expect it to be you..."
"Hachi often growls at you. It must be because you smell like his other dogs, right?"
"Besides, Grandma Suochen has already known the truth." Hattori Heiji suddenly said.
"What?" Inufushi Chiaki looked at Hattori Heiji in surprise.
Hattori Heiji: "You lied to others that you were taking care of her to prove your alibi, so it's only natural that you'd be discovered."
Yuya said, "Do you know that the names of the eight adopted children of the Inufushi family each represent a special meaning."
Inufu Kaozi and the others were stunned: "What's the meaning?"
Youya said: "Each of your names corresponds to one of the eight virtues of benevolence and righteousness: benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, loyalty, filial piety, and brotherhood."
"Mr. Chihō, the character 知, plus the upper part of 煌, can form 智; Mr. Shinichi, the character 浅, plus the two horizontal lines above 壹, can form 仁; Ms. Kaozi, the upper part of 考 and 子 can form 孝; Mr. Zenye, it can form 礼; Mr. Yingci is 忠, Ms. Migako is 义, and Ms. Saki is 信.
As for the last Ti, it is Miss Yuki."
"Miss Yukihime's original name was Teie. If you combine Teie and Kokoro, it becomes Tei."
Yuya looked at Inufushi Chiaki and said slowly:
"The eight beads in Grandma Suchen's hand represent the eight virtues of benevolence and righteousness, and the fourth bead was deliberately changed to black, representing that the murderer is the fourth wisdom, which is you."
"Mr. Chihuang!"
Inubushi Chiaki stood there in a daze, his body trembling slightly.
Youye continued, "Do you still remember the tears that Grandma Suochen shed at that time? I'm afraid she didn't want you to continue killing people and increase your sins. Turn yourself in to the police as soon as possible!"
Inufushi Chiaki's body trembled violently and he fell to the ground weakly.
"I don't want to either. I don't want to let go of that castle filled with memories of Su Chen's adoptive mother, who was warmer than my biological mother!"
He lay on the ground crying, but the reason for the murder made it impossible to sympathize with him.
Because the inheritance tax was too high, in order to increase his share of the inheritance, he killed his half-children one after another...
