Inubushi Chiaki was caught, but Tang Ze did not immediately explain to Inubushi Yukihime the mystery. Instead, he asked him to call the other two people from the Inubushi family to come here and then explain it together.
After all, it’s too troublesome to explain it twice, so it’s better to just call him over and get it over with once and for all.
Moreover, Inubushi Chiaki is still one of their own. It would be more convincing for them to let them see it with their own eyes if they just pointed out that the other party was the murderer.
"What's this?"
Inu Fuchan also looked at the "flaming demon dog" with flames all over its body and next to Conan and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Isn't that a demon dog!"
"This is the whistle we found on Inufushi Chiaki. We blew it to summon him," Tang Ze explained. "In terms of identity, it is indeed a demon dog, but in the end, it is just an ordinary dog."
"But it has flames on its body..." Inufushi Kaozi said in fear.
"No, it's just a fake fire."
After Conan approached with the flaming demon dog, the two of them could see clearly what the flames on the dog were, and they also felt firsthand the temperature of its body, which was not flaming.
"What is this?" Inufu Kaozi asked in surprise as he looked at the "demon dog".
"Fake flames." Tang Ze explained, "They often appear in entertainment program productions.
It’s essentially a shiny cloth, but with the help of red LEDs and the way it sways in the wind, it creates the illusion of flames.”
"It's the same principle with this dog."
Hattori Heiji explained, "In order to make it make sounds and create more power when it runs, we put a special cloth on it.
Red lights were also placed underneath the cloth, so the fake cloth fluttered in the wind as he ran, preventing him from looking like he was on fire.
And if we use the remote control to turn off the light on the dog, in such a dark environment, the dog will instantly disappear from our sight."
"What about the flaming footprints!" Inu Fuchan asked hurriedly, "Are those fake too? There are obvious signs of burns on the ground!"
"It's very simple." Conan smiled and pulled out a string of lighters tied to a rope and spaced in an orderly manner.
"This is..." Inufu Zen was also stunned.
"A disposable lighter, and also the footprints of the 'demon dog' we saw earlier."
Conan explained with a smile: "Just tie two disposable lighters together with their gas ports facing opposite each other and open them, then use piano wire to connect the two lighters together.
This way, the fiery footprints left by the demon dog are complete."
"Generally speaking, gas doesn't have any smell, but because it's so dangerous, they deliberately added a smell like rotting onions."
Tang Ze looked at Inufushi Chiaki and said, "The reason why you chose rotten onions in your self-directed and self-acted drama was to cover up this smell."
"But no matter how much gas leaks from the lighter, it can't be ignited without a spark, right?" Inufu Zen also questioned.
"The fire starter is the charcoal enclosed in this wire ball!"
Conan took out a piece of charcoal tied to a metal tennis ball on a steel wire and showed it to everyone: "After the dog is tied up, if it passes by the place where the lighter is buried, the one that keeps spewing gas will be ignited."
"The dog was not actually going to attack anyone, but was trained to run towards the smell of lighter gas that the killer had placed on the ground."
"But after we were attacked and chased in the yard, we didn't find any lighters like this left behind?"
Shancuncao, who was standing by, couldn't help but ask the doubts in his mind.
"Because we missed it, because of your hasty escape."
Conan said this with a hint of resentment on his face: "If we hadn't escaped at that time, we would have exposed the truth about this "demon dog" long ago.
Even if we can't see the truth, as long as we keep our distance, we can still see the dog holding the piano wire ring to retrieve the lighter."
"Who wouldn't be scared if they encountered that situation?"
Shancuncao retorted in embarrassment, then suddenly remembered something: "So the 'crackling' sound we heard wasn't the active flame, but the sound of the lighter scraping against the ground as I ran while pulling the string?"
"Then what about the burns he sustained when he was attacked?" Inufushi Koko couldn't help but ask, "If he was the criminal, why would he do this?!"
"He burned himself to make everyone believe that the demon dog is real." Tang Ze looked at Inufushi Chiaki and said, "He burned himself to make everyone believe that the demon dog is real."
"Then he was attacked by a demon dog..." Inu Fuchan said in disbelief.
"That's just your preconceived notion."
Tang Ze looked at the dog playing happily with Conan and said, "For the "demon dog", it's just a play of happily jumping on its master.
While all of us were inside the cabin to investigate, he placed the lighter and piano wire in his bag on the ground, and then used a dog whistle to call out the dog that was actually in the doghouse.
Then he pretended to be attacked by the "demon dog", but was actually just playing with his pet dog. He then took advantage of the situation to fall further inside the slope to avoid our sight.
Then he turned off the light on the dog, let him hold the piano coil in his mouth to retrieve the string of lighters on the ground, and then light it on his arm.
Although your plan was good, it's a pity that I saw you hiding the lighter."
Tang Ze looked at Inufushi Chiaki with an expression of disbelief and said playfully, "I'm afraid you didn't expect that the miscalculation was due to miscalculating the speed?
