I have to say, with the old man's aging voice, coupled with the content of his speech and the buildings standing in the woods in the distance, it really feels like driving in a horror movie.
But unfortunately, the three people in the car were all "materialist fighters" and did not believe in any supernatural things at all.
They only believe that all things related to ghosts and gods are either caused by themselves or are natural phenomena of nature.
So the mansion cursed by the "demon dog" sounds scary, but the three of them were calm and after expressing their gratitude, they accelerated directly to the Inufushi family's mansion.
It has to be said that the Inufu family is indeed wealthy enough. This mansion built halfway up the mountain is so tall that it looks like the residence of an ancient city lord.
The car went around the mountain and soon approached the Inufushi family's castle. Tang Ze suddenly saw a warning sign on the side of the road and couldn't help but step on the brakes to slowly slow down the car.
"What's wrong?" Feeling the car slowly stop, Hattori Heiji, who was talking to Conan in the back seat, couldn't help but ask.
"There was a warning sign nearby. You were talking to Conan, so you didn't see it?" Tang Ze parked the car, opened the door, and said, "Go down and check the situation."
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car with Tang Ze and walked towards the signboard ahead.
“It’s actually a cliff…”
Conan looked at the edge of the mountain road, which was simply guarded by wire, and couldn't help but feel relieved: "It's a good thing that Detective Tang Ze noticed it, otherwise it would have been really dangerous."
"Hey, there's a dangerous cliff over there. The road is this way."
Just as the three of them were looking at the cliff in front of them and feeling relieved, suddenly the sound of a small motorcycle engine and a woman's voice came from behind them.
Everyone turned around and saw a young woman in a pink and purple suit stopped behind them. She took off her helmet and said, "Don't go near that place anymore. Someone fell off a cliff and died not long ago."
"Falling off a cliff? Are you referring to the uncle Yingci who was being chased by the demon dog?"
Hattori Heiji was surprised when he heard this, and then he explained, "In fact, we came all the way from Tokyo to Gunma just to investigate this matter."
"Eh? Do you know Brother Yingci?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, then introduced herself: "I am the Inufushi person you are looking for. My name is Yukihime."
"I didn't expect to see the relevant people here." Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Then please take us to the Inufushi family."
After saying this, Hattori Heiji seemed to realize that he hadn't answered the other party's question, and quickly explained, "Also, let me clarify, we don't know Mr. Yingci. It was Mr. Shinichi who found us through his connections and asked us to help with the investigation."
"Is it Brother Shinichi?" Inubushi Yukihime showed a look of realization when she heard this. Then she looked at the three people and asked with a smile, "I wonder how Brother Shinichi is doing in Tokyo?"
"Not much, actually."
Tang Ze shook his head and said, "He was almost killed today if we hadn't arrived in time."
"Ah! How could this happen!" Inufushi Yukihime was horrified when she heard this: "So how is Shinichi-kun now?"
"He's still in a coma. The doctor said he's not out of danger yet and needs to be observed."
Tang Ze replied, "Originally, we wanted to find Mr. Shinichi to understand the situation, but after this happened, we had no choice but to come here in person."
"I see." Inufushi Yukihime nodded slightly and said anxiously, "I have to tell the others about this as soon as possible."
"Then let's go without further delay." Tang Ze said, "Please lead the way."
Inufushi Yukihime nodded when she heard this, put on her motorcycle helmet, and then drove up the mountain with her motorcycle leading the way.
"It seems that the people of the Inufushi family still don't know that Mr. Shinichi was murdered by the murderer."
After getting in the car, Hattori Heiji's eyes flickered with thought: "This is a good opportunity..."
"You mean to see other people's reactions through this news?"
Conan nodded in understanding and said, "It's indeed a good idea. Since Mr. Shinichi was not killed, the police did not notify his family.
This way, the prisoner will definitely not know that his plan has been disrupted by us, and we can take this opportunity to observe everyone's reactions."
Tang Ze, who was standing by, listened to the conversation between the two and did not join in. Deep down, he did not hold much hope.
After all, in the absence of key evidence, criminals all have the "little golden man buff". The more serious the crime, the more natural the acting skills will be.
Therefore, if Tang Ze wants to rely on the reactions of the crowd to select the criminal, he still has no hope even if he has mastered micro-expressions.
While the three were talking, the car followed the motorcycle in front and stopped in front of the castle halfway up the mountain.
"It's really impressive." After getting off the car, Hattori Heiji looked up at the towering mansion and said, "It's like a castle from ancient times."
"Yes, even people living nearby call this place Inubushi Castle." Inubushi Yukihime explained with a smile.
"Yeah, this castle doesn't look like a mansion cursed by a demon dog."
As Conan finished his words, a low, aggressive dog bark came from behind him.
“Woof! Woof!!”
When the three heard the dog barking, they subconsciously turned around and found an Akita dog standing behind them.
"No, Hachi!"
Seeing the Akita dog running towards them, Inubushi Yukihime quickly squatted down with a smile, patted the dog's head, and said, "These people are the criminal who came to investigate the accident involving Brother Hotaru and his friends."
