Chapter 818 Remote Control Crime

Inufushi's house didn't know if it was a big deal, it was a bit too quiet at night, especially because the servants were on vacation, there were not many people in the house, and there was not even a sound of footsteps outside.

Gao Cheng rubbed his eyes and stood up. Seeing that it was almost completely dark outside, he was thinking about the situation at Hattori when his cell phone rang suddenly.

"What happened to the adopted daughter, Miss Zuoji?!"

"Yeah, the magic dog... seems to have appeared again..."

The Tomb of the Demon Dog of the Inubusu family was built under the cliff that Gao Cheng had seen before, and it was also the place where the adopted son Yingji fell off the cliff in the first incident. As a result, the adopted daughter Zuoji who went out this time had the same experience. face, riding a bicycle out of the cliff.

"I've called an ambulance and the police, but..."

Hattori and Conan rushed to the top of the cliff along the path in Inubushi Yukihime, and looked at the flames on the grass extending to the edge of the cliff. The flames were connected in two strings, as if they were footprints left by a burning dog.

The important thing is that there is no smell of oil, it is the "footprint" of real burning...

No matter what Hattori thought, the new case had completely alarmed the Inufushi family, and Gao Cheng's status was a little awkward for a while.

On the one hand, his warning became a reality, and on the other hand, it reminds people of his title of plague god.

But until Hattori and his team took the Gunma County police back to Inufushi's house, the adopted children still regarded Gao Cheng as the backbone, perhaps because they felt a little bit safe in front of him as a famous detective.

The middle-aged doctor Inufushi Akira answered the phone, and said with a heavy expression, "The hospital where I work called, saying that Zuo Ji passed away in the ambulance."

"Why, how could this be..."

Inubushi Yukihime, who was at the scene, heard the bad news and couldn't control the tears in her eyes. She was the youngest of the eight adopted children of Inubushi's family. When she first came here, she was taken care of by Zuoji. The impact is also the biggest.

Quanfu Kaozi's face was also very ugly, as if he was talking to himself: "In this way, half of the eight adopted sons have been killed."

Gao Cheng opened his mouth, but he didn't care about comforting him. According to the current situation, the murderer may actually be among these adopted sons.

"And then?" Gao Cheng asked Hattori, "What happened to those burning footprints? Are you sure you didn't do something wrong?"

Hattori shook his head and said cautiously: "I haven't found it yet, those flame footprints extend to a place about 20 centimeters away from the edge of the cliff, chasing after the tire marks... Although we didn't see any magic dogs, it was the same as the first incident. , It’s almost like the traces left by the burning magic dog, even Zuo Ji himself, who fell off the cliff, finally said the burning dog..."

"Haha," said Shancun Cao who was following behind with a pale face, unwilling to believe, "It's this kind of age, how could there be any magic dogs? Someone probably lit the fire before you passed by, making it look What kind of magic dog..."

"How can it be so simple? To create such a trace, it is difficult to do in the dark?" Hattori rolled his eyelids and said to Yamamura Cao in a muffled voice.

"We followed the path very quickly, and there is not enough time for someone to do tricks," Conan continued, "and the distance between the fires is that the closer to the edge of the cliff, the larger the distance between the fires, and the flames are the same. It really seems that there is something burning. Walking through there while getting bigger..."

After being told, Shancuncao became frightened, and said in a trembling voice, "Is there really a cursed magic dog?"

"Who said just now that there can be magic dogs in this era..."

It was the first time for Hattori to see Yamamura,

It was completely unexpected that such a stupid police officer would lead the team.

Is the Gunma Prefectural Police Station deserted?

"In short," Hattori pondered, "it must be someone who created the scene through ingenious arrangements. This should be true. Although I don't know the method, it is a fact that I blamed my criminal pedestrians on the magic dog." .”

Speaking of that, Hattori asked Gao Cheng curiously: "By the way, Kido, did you find any clues?"

When I left before, looking at Gao Cheng's appearance, I should have found some key information...

"Ah, not yet."

Gao Cheng came back to his senses, looked at the people who were still discussing, and kept silent for a while.

The case is not just a trivial matter. The more it is at such a time, the more it should be considered carefully, and it must be done quickly, otherwise someone will be killed.

The murderer probably knew that he, a famous detective, was visiting, indicating that he was confident that he could hide the crime from him...

"So," Gao Cheng asked after a pause, "Did you find any beads this time?"

"Glass beads," Hattori said in a deep voice, "this time they are glass beads. I found them next to the tombstone where Miss Zuoji fell off the cliff afterwards."

"At least in this way, we can be sure that the murderer had a plan to kill Miss Zuoji from the very beginning."

Gao Cheng still placed suspicion on the members of the Inubushi family, even Inubushi Yukihime, who was with Hattori and the others at that time, was still suspicious, and even the glass bead might have been thrown by Inufushi Yukihime.

Thinking of this, Gao Cheng looked at the adopted sons of the Inufushi family and said, "The time of the incident was around 7 o'clock in the evening. Except for Ms. Yukihime who went to the cliff with Hattori and the others to see the tomb of the demon dog, the other three Mr. Zenya Taking a bath, Miss Kaozi waited outside because Zuo Ji hadn't come back, while Mr. Zhihuang was taking Mrs. Suochen's temperature and blood pressure, and even fed liquid food...

"Even so, after I received the news, I only ran into Miss Kao Zi who just came back from the outside."

"So didn't I tell you all about it?" The bearded dog Fuchan also snorted, "I was taking a bath alone, and I only heard you tell me something happened later!"

"I've always been here by my mother's side," Inufushi Chiaki said helplessly, looking at the room where Mrs. Suochen was sleeping next to her, "but she has been sleeping all the time, so she can't testify for me."

Gao Cheng didn't continue to ask further questions.

Soon after receiving the news from Hattori, he did find these people one after another.

However, Inufushi's house is not too far from the cliff, much closer than the bottom of the cliff. Considering that the prisoner himself may have used some means and did not show up in person, these people cannot be ruled out as suspects.

"I'm talking about Detective Kido," Yamamura Misao carefully recorded in his notebook, and waited until the Inufushi family left before saying, "In terms of time, they really have no chance to commit crimes, especially Ms. Yukihime, after all, when the crime happened, she Just below the cliff..."

"These cannot rule out the suspicion," Gao Cheng explained helplessly, "If the murderer commits a crime by remote control and drives dogs to attack, even under the cliffs, things like dog whistles can be secretly used... Even Miss Xingji is the most A suspect because she was right under the cliff at the time."

"Speaking of remote-control crimes," Yamamura said in a daze, "Miss Saki's mobile phone has a record of Inufushi's phone call, just two hours before she fell off the cliff."

"It's normal. Ms. Zuo Ji came back much later today than usual. The murderer obviously calculated the time. He probably asked her to buy something and asked her to come back a little later so that he could carry out the attack when it was dark." Gao Cheng rested his elbow and thought, "However, this also shows that the murderer's method should be more suitable to be carried out at night, and it may be exposed during the day."

Combining several so-called magic dog attacks, the incidents were all carried out in a relatively dark environment. One is darker, it is easier to hide tactics, and the other is more capable of creating false appearances and causing panic.

It's just that I don't know what method those burning footprints used. It's really amazing that Hattori and Conan can't find any clues.

Gao Cheng's heart sank, he slightly opened the door of the next room, and looked at Mrs. Suochen who was still sleeping in the room, her quiet appearance was like an old Sleeping Beauty.

This family has become like this, I don't know what the old lady will think, maybe it's a good thing to be asleep all the time.

Looking at Mrs. Suochen, Gao Cheng suddenly thought of the old man Seto who he willfully found in order to meet at the end of his life.

The woman who can make the old man think about it until the last moment, and judging from the various things of the Inufushi family, Mrs. Suochen must have been a gentle woman in the past, and it is impossible for ordinary people to keep all her husband's illegitimate children as adopted children.

The old lady probably doesn't want the tragedy of the Inufushi family to continue, does she?

Gao Cheng closed the sliding door.

In any case, he will deal with this serial murder case as soon as possible.
