"I'm afraid it's just the usual drama of fighting over property?"
After hearing Hattori Heiji's words, Karasawa spoke up, "Since Inufushi and his wife Sasomi have no children, and given Mrs. Sasomi's frail health, it's only natural that someone would take a risk for the sake of a huge fortune for the sake of huge profits."
"Yes, although the Inubushi Group was handed over to the Inubushi family, Mrs. Sasomi also inherited a huge inheritance."
Hattori Heiji's face was filled with indescribable complexity and indignation: "When the old lady passes away, even if the property is divided equally among the eight adopted sons and daughters, it will be enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.
But unfortunately, there are still some people who are greedy and blinded by interests, and two of their children have died mysteriously.
The first adopted son fell from a cliff, but he left a last word before he died.
He said that the one who pushed him off the cliff was a monster that looked like a monster, with its body wrapped in red lotus fire, and was similar to a dog.
The demon dog continued to grow larger before his eyes, pouncing towards him.
"Could it be fake?"
Ayako looked a little frightened when she heard what Hattori Heiji said. "I saw some puppets made of resin or something on TV. Could they be fakes, or maybe they've set up some kind of trap?"
"Probably not."
Hattori Heiji shook his head upon hearing this and said, “The deceased was riding a bicycle at the time. In order to avoid the dog, he drove his car for a kilometer.
If it were a human, using all four limbs to imitate a dog's running would be fine for a while, but running one kilometer would probably be difficult.
And with current technology, it shouldn't be that advanced, so I'm afraid it's true."
"Since you received this commission, it means that you have been called to the Inufushi family, right?"
"No, one of the adopted sons was an elementary school classmate of Kazuha's mother." Hattori Heiji shook his head.
"I heard from my mother that the other party originally lived in Kansai, and he always believed that the deaths of those two people were due to a curse." Toyama Kazuha said this with a look of fear on his face.
"I heard him say that among the eight adopted sons and daughters, there seems to be a fake adopted son who has a strong hatred for the Inufushi family."
Toyama Heye, who was already afraid of ghosts, had a gloomy look on his face. "They all say that the fake adopted son is using the power of the cursed demon dog to wipe out the Inufushi family."
"No descendants..." Ayako's face turned pale when she heard this, and she was obviously a little scared.
"Actually, at first they wanted to discuss this with my father, who was the Chief of the Criminal Division of the Osaka Metropolitan Police."
Kazuha explained, "But my father couldn't leave Osaka because of work, so he had no choice but to let Heiji and I go over there first to hear the situation.
However, because Uncle Hattori is worried about Heiji, he specifically asked me to first find Detective Karasawa to investigate this case together."
"That's it."
Hattori Heiji held his chin with his right hand, muttering with a bit of dissatisfaction: "Although I can handle it myself..."
"So, you want to invite Tang Ze to the Inufushi family?"
"No, we came to Tokyo because that man gave up his inheritance rights, left the Inufushi family, and now lives in Tokyo."
He Ye waved his hand and explained, "I heard that his name has been changed back to his mother's surname."
"We have an appointment to meet tomorrow." Hattori Heiji looked at Tang Ze and smiled, "Let's go together then."
"You agreed to meet me tomorrow, but you're here today?" Tang Ze rolled his eyes and said, "Calling me so early."
"Hey, come and play a day early." Hattori Heiji said with a playful smile: "Sorry to disturb your sweet dream."
"I don't see any sincerity from you."
Tang Ze rolled his eyes and turned to look at Yuanshan Heye: "Heye, do you want to come with us tomorrow, or let your sister Ayako take you out to play?"
"I remember that you, Heye-chan, are afraid of ghosts and monsters, right?"
Ayako also advised: "Let's call Xiaolan to go shopping together, and leave the investigation of these cases to these men."
"Um…"
Yuanshan Heye glanced at Hattori Heiji with excitement, but he waved his hand and said, "You make your own decision."
"Then I won't go." He Ye hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't help much either. Let's wait for you to finish your investigation."
The main reason is that Karasawa also agreed to investigate together with Hattori Heiji, so Kazuha felt relieved to have him around.
"By the way, let's call Conan along when the time comes." Hattori Heiji smiled and raised an eyebrow, "After all, he is your apprentice."
"Okay."
Knowing that Hattori Heiji was just an excuse to call Conan, Tang Ze agreed and then asked, "By the way, what time do you and the client have agreed to meet tomorrow?"
"Ten o'clock in the morning." Hattori Heiji said this with a smile and joked, "This time shouldn't affect your ability to sleep in, right?"
"Of course it's not about sleeping in." Tang Ze said unhappily, "I asked about the time so I could plan my route and itinerary to avoid missing an appointment tomorrow."
"It's okay, don't worry too much about the time."
Hattori Heiji waved his hand nonchalantly at this point: "I told him to go see him after 10 o'clock, but he was so worried about this that he wouldn't go out at all.
So no matter what time we go, the other party will be waiting for us at home."
"We've made an appointment, so don't keep people waiting." Tang Ze said, then took out his phone: "I'll contact Conan to see if he's free tomorrow."
