Chapter 2921 2925 [Terrible Gun-Hunting Dog]

Conan looked at the shotgun and then at the wound on the body. Then he squatted down and sniffed the smell around the shotgun.

A unique smell of gunpowder hit him.

"It seems that this is the murder weapon that killed the store owner." After confirming that the murder weapon was the shotgun that the middle-aged store owner had just taken out, Conan touched his chin and turned his head to look at the other three employees in the cafe, his eyes full of suspicion.

——A hunter will not let go of his gun easily, and there are no signs of struggle on the body of the deceased. He died very peacefully and neatly. It can be seen that the murderer must be his acquaintance, the kind who is familiar enough to help him take the gun, and it is very likely that he is among these three people.

...

The crime scene this time was in the mountains. After waiting longer than before, Inspector Otaki finally drove over.

There were many other police cars and ambulances that came to the scene.

The medical staff who arrived with the car came down to take a look, and shook their heads decisively and left.

"Accident?"

Inspector Otaki heard this word from the store clerks, looked at the many detectives present, and said doubtfully: "Are you sure?"

The old farmer nodded and sighed: "A lot of customers came today, and the store manager wanted to go into the mountains to hunt a wild boar, but... well, he must have been scared by the eagle flying over, so the gun went off and shot himself."

Inspector Otaki scratched his head in confusion: "But isn't this the eagle in your store? Will he really be scared like this by the eagle that he has lived with for many years?"

The store manager's wife remembered something and looked at Li Chi hesitantly. Eagle: "It looks a bit strange today, and it has been restless. When the gunshot just now, I vaguely saw it flying around and shouting. Could it be..."

The falconer heard something wrong and retorted after realizing it: "My eagle will never attack humans! Not to mention that it has been trained for many years, even if it is a wild eagle, it will only avoid people when it sees people!"

The store manager's wife knows the habits of this eagle: "Could it be because the muzzle of the shotgun accidentally pointed at it, and it was scared, so..."

The falconer's face turned ugly.

Indeed, with the sensitivity of eagles, let alone the barrel of a gun, even if you just point a finger at it, they will feel very uneasy... But his eagle will never kill people!

Jiang Xia looked at the unlucky road eagle that had huddled into a furry ball and said, "With such a long barrel, even if it went off accidentally, it would be difficult for the victim to shoot himself in the chest."

Conan also felt that the eagle was somewhat innocent: "It did suddenly change its direction just now, but rather than changing its route to attack humans, I think it was more like being tripped by something. And at that time, I felt a strange reflection in this area."

If it was just an ordinary child, this sentence might not attract attention.

But as an acquaintance of high school students, Inspector Otaki knew very well that this was not an ordinary child. This first-grade elementary school student wearing glasses was a super detective embryo who had been with Jiang Xia for many years and had gained a lot of knowledge.

He immediately took this clue seriously and asked the forensic department: "Is there anything shiny nearby?"

Several technicians scratched their heads blankly: "Nothing... Could it be the light reflected from the barrel of the shotgun?"

Conan shook his head firmly: "The reflection I mentioned is hanging in the air, and it is very thin."

The forensic department police officers: "..." This kid is not dreaming.

...

The evidence mentioned by Conan cannot be verified, and the claim that the eagle harmed people is temporarily ruled out because the police can't imagine how the shotgun can accidentally go off to hit its chest, and the investigation is temporarily stagnant.

Jiang Xia seemed to remember something and said to Inspector Otaki: "I think it's more like someone took the shotgun of the deceased by some means, and then shot him, which eventually led to his death.

"Although the probability of a stranger committing a crime is not high, it cannot be ruled out that the deceased thought the shotgun was too heavy and put it on the ground, and then someone took advantage of it - it's better to look around in the woods. If you can find the hidden murderer, things will be simple. "

"Makes sense. "Since he had nothing to do, Inspector Otaki immediately assigned work to his subordinates who had nothing to do, and asked them to search for people nearby.

The police scattered, and Conan naturally couldn't sit still either. He randomly found a direction and started to walk around.

After walking a few steps, the pseudo-primary school student's ears moved slightly, and suddenly he felt footsteps behind him.

"? !" Conan was startled and turned around suddenly... Then he saw that it was Jiang Xia who followed him.

Conan: "..."

After a false alarm, he relaxed, but then he was a little confused: "Why are you following me? ”

A correct version at 16191book1bar!

Jiang Xia: “…” Of course I’m keeping an eye on you, lest you dig out that carefully hidden sniper rifle again.

It’s not that I want that gun, but I’m a little bit skeptical - can Kudo-san always find all the illegal items from the crime scene?

If not, that’s great. If so... then another note can be added to the “Kudo Shinichi User Manual”.

Conan didn’t know what his classmate was thinking, but when he thought of what Jiang Xia had just asked Inspector Otaki to search the mountain, Conan seemed to understand something.

He couldn’t help but be a little moved: “Don’t worry, even if the murderer is really someone else, that guy must have run far away, and it’s impossible for him to stay here waiting to be caught by the police. I won’t run into him.”

Jiang Xia nodded and advised thoughtfully: "That's what I say, but it's still too dangerous to run around in this kind of woods - since the suspect is more likely to be among the three clerks, we might as well go back to the cafe and take a look. There are also more clues to be found.”

It sounds reasonable.

Conan glanced at the forest and walked back with Jiang Xia thoughtfully.

…

The other three clerks had already been persuaded by the police and returned to the cafe to wait for news.

As soon as Jiang Xia and Conan arrived in the courtyard, they suddenly heard someone talking.

The two looked at each other, walked lightly to the corridor, and saw the falconer apologizing to the store manager's wife sitting in the room: "I know that no matter how much I apologize, Mr. Takehara will never come back, but I still ask you Accept my apology, and besides, the kid definitely didn't mean to attack him, it might just be, just..."

The store manager's wife looked at his helpless look and wiped her tears: "There's no need for this. Of course I know you didn't mean it. No one wanted this to happen. It was just a tragic accident."

She sat up straighter, looked at the falconer and the old farmer opposite, and said to these two colleagues who had been with the cafe for many years: "So there is no need to blame yourself, and there is no need to blame the eagle."

The falconer didn't expect Mrs. Kuzhu to be so easy to talk to, and he suddenly felt even more guilty: "But..."
