Because this story happened during the Meiji era, and the head of the Inufushi family at that time was also burned to death in a fire.
So this legend is not groundless and it is still circulating in this land today.
Just like the old man they met on the road before, this legend may have only been around for a few decades when he was born, so he believed it firmly.
If we take into account the accidents that occurred during this period and the last words left by Inubushi Hotaru before his death, it is understandable that people would believe this legend and even fear it.
However, this definitely does not include Tang Ze and the other two who looked indifferent.
"It sounds like a legendary story." Hattori Heiji said with his chin in his hand.
"Does the tomb you are talking about really exist?" Conan asked curiously.
"Of course, you should stop the car during the day and check below the cliff beside the road." Inufushi Yukihime nodded and smiled and suggested, "If you are interested, why not go and take a look?"
"I remember you said during the day that Mr. Yingci seemed to have fallen here as well?" Tang Ze asked back after hearing that.
"That's right." Inufushi Yukihime nodded.
"Well, let's go take a look." After Tang Ze confirmed that it was the crime scene, he still planned to check it out.
Although I don't have much hope, if I can find any clues, it will be progress. Even if it's a wasted trip, I can't just ignore it.
Conan and Hattori Heiji on the side had the same opinion. Since Inubushi Saki went to a dry cleaner far away, he might not be able to come back for a while.
After all, this place is already in the mountains in the suburbs. Even to the nearest city, it takes a long time to drive there. What's more, I learned from Inufushi Kaoru that the other party went there by bicycle.
This would cost more time, and waiting for her while doing nothing would be a waste.
The group of people were all decisive and action-oriented. After deciding to go, they drove directly to the bottom of the cliff where they came from today without any hesitation.
Of course, it was unrealistic to expect the three of them to go to the bottom of the cliff. After all, they didn't know how to get around in the mountains.
With them was Inufushi Yukihime, the youngest of the group. She was very enthusiastic from the moment she saw them and welcomed their arrival.
As for the other three people, they did not show any disgust towards their arrival, but they also did not welcome them with any attitude.
It was already dark at night, but with the help of an acquaintance and Tang Ze's steady driving, they soon arrived at the bottom of the cliff.
With the help of the car's lights, everyone got out and saw the tombstone standing at the foot of the cliff.
The broad tombstone is inscribed with the words "Tomb of the brave Inufushi family's beloved dog, Fusatarou."
"This is the prototype of the legendary 'demon dog,'" Hattori Heiji said, surveying the tombstone. "It doesn't seem unusual."
"But this does prove that the 'demon dog' does have a prototype."
Conan said, "There's a legend that if a dog with fire comes out of it, it's considered the ghost of Fusataro and a curse.
And Mr. Yingci, who was being chased by the demon dog, did fall off the cliff here, right?"
Conan looked at Inufushi Yukihime, who nodded and pointed to the top of the cliff and said, "Yes, it's right above this tomb..."
As they were talking, everyone looked up in the direction of each other's fingers, only to find that a flame suddenly appeared on the cliff above their heads, followed by a black shadow jumping out from the cliff under the illumination of the flame.
Seeing this scene, everyone's faces turned horrified.
Because that black shadow was obviously a human!
By the time everyone realized this, it seemed like it was already too late and they could only watch the dark shadow descending from the cliff.
But Tang Ze is not among this group of people!
With his eyesight, he realized the danger the moment he looked up and saw the fire and dark shadows.
With his terrifying nerve reflexes working at full capacity, that brief moment seemed to be infinitely stretched.
At that critical moment, Tang Ze took out a cylindrical box he was carrying and twisted it. The contents inside were fired like bullets directly under the falling black shadow in the sky.
Almost instantly, a huge air cushion inflated.
But before the air cushion could fully inflate, a dark shadow from the next cliff fell straight down.
The enormous force made the air cushion, which had not been fully inflated, seem to be flattened, and the inside kept sinking, but fortunately, the air cushion was still expanding even at the moment of being hit.
In the end, the figure falling from the cliff did not hit the ground directly with the greatest momentum.
"Bang! Bang!"
The bicycle was squeezed by the inflated air cushion and fell to the ground, and Tang Ze and others immediately ran over to check the situation.
"Ms. S-Sukee!!"
After seeing the identity of the figure falling from the cliff, Inubushi Yukihime hurriedly shouted: "Wake up, cheer up!!"
"Ms. Saki!?" Hattori Heiji was surprised when he heard Inufushi Yukihime's name. "She is the last adopted daughter?"
"The dog... is... burning..."
As if awakened by Inubushi Yukihime's shout, Inubushi Saki's eyes were wide open with fear. He just trembled and uttered a few words before losing consciousness.
"Sister Zuoji..."
Just as Inubushi Yukihime was about to touch the other person, Tang Ze immediately scolded her, "Don't touch her! She fell from the cliff, and even though I used a cushion below in time, the cushion was not fully deployed and did not completely relieve the impact of falling off the cliff.
