"Hey, Detective Karasawa, I remember you said you smelled rotten onions?" Hattori Heiji looked at Karasawa and asked.
"That's right." Tang Ze nodded, "But how does this relate to the case? I currently have no idea."
"Those things are all settled!" Inu Fuchan interrupted Tang Ze and said, "What we care about now is whether you have found the criminal who controls the "demon dog"?!"
"I plan to ask the forensic department to check out the cabin after daybreak, but it's unlikely that we can catch the murderer with the clues inside..." Shancuncao said with a lack of confidence.
“Why?”
Demonic dogs kept appearing, and the people around him were injured one after another in the attacks. Inu Fuchan no longer had his previous composure.
Hearing the news that Yamamura Cao was somewhat discouraged, Inubushi Zen questioned him even more urgently.
"I can't do anything about it. He's a black magician who can use curses to control the 'Flame Hound'!"
Shancuncao was a little furious when asked this question, and even made a vivid metaphor: "We are now like a little white rabbit that accidentally entered the foggy forest. How can we possibly deal with such a being?
To be honest, I really want to leave this place right now..."
Looking at Shancuncao's frightened face and even words that he wanted to run away, Tangze and the other three "materialist fighters" were speechless.
After all, the reason why Shancuncao got angry really made people feel unreliable. The key point was that the other party seriously believed in that "feudal superstition" and even got angry about it with a serious face.
There were so many complaints that Tang Ze didn't even know where to start.
"What's the matter with the magician?" Inufu Kaozi couldn't help but ask.
"We discovered in the cabin we found that there were a large number of books on the dark arts."
Tang Ze explained, then asked again, "Also, I'd like to ask, when we went to the swamp, you two didn't leave the mansion, right?"
"I've been contacting the hospital to check on Miss Zuo Ji's condition."
Inufushi Koko replied, "Also, I've contacted the hospital over there to coordinate with Mr. Shinichi and make arrangements for him if he really can't wake up."
"I was chatting with my friends who were playing a wilderness survival game." Inufu Zen followed closely.
"Survival in the wild?" Tang Ze asked, "The kind with real-life shooting?"
"Well, because my job is to be a camping guide in this area, I always invite people who are interested to come and play together."
"Oh?" Hattori Heiji raised an eyebrow and said, "If it's you, you should be very familiar with the forest environment, right?"
"Well, sort of." Inubushi Zen also said this and looked at Inubushi Yukihime and smiled: "Of course, she is still not as good as Yukihime who used to go up the mountain to collect herbs with Sasomi's adoptive mother."
Tang Ze simply ignored Inufushi Zen's little trick of deflecting suspicion with his words and had no intention of doubting the other party at all.
After all, Inubushi Yukihime was with them the whole time tonight, so her suspicion had almost been cleared.
You know, the fire dog appeared three times in a row tonight. It would have been fine if we didn't notice it the first time, after all, tricks are not that easy to pull off.
But if the other party plays tricks under their noses for the second, third, and fourth time, and the three of them don't notice it at all, it would be impossible.
So when faced with Inubushi Zenya's words to shift the blame, Karasawa didn't even turn his head, because Inubushi Yukihime had already proven her innocence.
Of course, this does not mean that Inubushi Zenya's suspicion will increase. After all, everyone has a self-preservation mentality.
Given Hattori Heiji's obvious suspicion, it is normal that he subconsciously does not want to be suspected. Moreover, the other party is not talking nonsense. It seems that Inubushi Yukihime is indeed more familiar with the forest.
"Excuse me, how is Granny Sashin doing?" Conan on the side had the same judgment, so he stepped forward and cleverly changed the subject.
"Well, she still sleeps in her room all the time," said Inufushi Koko.
"Let's go back and rest first."
Seeing that no one seemed to be interested in talking anymore, Tang Ze looked at the slightly silent crowd and suggested, "We'd like to trouble you to let us stay overnight."
"No problem!" Inufushi Koko agreed readily: "Xingji, come with me later to prepare accommodation for the guests."
"I understand, Sister Kouzi." Inufushi Yukihime nodded and agreed immediately.
"Thank you very much." Tang Ze thanked the two of them.
"You're welcome. You came to help the Inufushi family, and you saved Zuo Ji. We should be thanking you."
Inufushi Koko bowed slightly when she said this, then left with Inufushi Yukihime.
"Okay, now that everyone has left, let's talk about our opinions." After everyone had dispersed and Tang Ze was sure that no one was eavesdropping, he looked at the remaining three people and spoke.
"Say...what?" Shancun Cao looked at the three people in front of him with confused faces, completely out of touch with the situation.
"Of course it's the puzzle about the 'demon dog'." Conan said with a smile.
"Detective Karasawa said he smelled rotten onions, Conan heard crackling sounds and jumping flames, and I observed that the flames were always 20 meters away..."
Hattori Heiji smiled and said, "Combining these three pieces of information, we can basically guess the method of the "burning footprints" phenomenon."
"Huh!?" Yamamura Cao was shocked when he heard this: "Why didn't I guess this at all!"
