"Although I don't know who is behind the "demon dog", it definitely has a deep hatred for our Inufu family!"
Inubushi Zenya's rough voice was filled with suppressed anger: "Damn bastard!"
"That's pretty obvious."
Tang Ze looked at the three of them and said, "Inubushi Yukihime once said that among your eight adopted sons and daughters, there seems to be a fake adopted son who has a strong hatred for the Inubushi family.
So we will start the investigation from the inside, excluding Ms. Yuki who was with us the whole time. As for the remaining three people, please tell us your alibis.
When Miss Zuo Ji was attacked by the "Flame Demon Dog" it was around 7pm. Could you three please tell me where you were and what you were doing?"
"Around seven o'clock, I remember I seemed to be taking a shower at that time." Inufushi Zen also heard what Tang Ze said and thought about it and said.
"As for me, I looked at the time and felt that Miss Zuo Ji should be back after being gone for so long, so I went outside to check on the situation."
Inufushi Koko said, "Because she has lived here for so long, but still gets lost in the mountains, so I am a little worried."
"I was staying by my mother's side the whole time." Inufushi Chiaki finally said, "During that time, I was helping her measure her blood pressure and temperature.
Also, since it was already dinner time, I fed my mother some liquid food.”
At this point, Inufushi Chiaki opened the sliding door behind him and gave Yamamura Cao a wry smile. "That being said, Wenming doesn't want to and can't testify for me because my mother has been in a coma."
"It seems that you two are acting alone, and there is no one who can prove it for you, right?" Hattori Heiji looked at the other two and said.
"Yes." Inufu Zen also nodded.
"Normally, there are three servants working in the castle, but unfortunately, they are all home for the holidays."
Inufushi Koko explained and also shook her head, as if there was no one else in the room who could prove it for them.
"Hey, this dark-skinned guy!"
Just after the three of them finished answering the questions, Shancuncao stood up and said with some resentment, "Interrogation is a criminal job. Can you please stop taking my job?"
"Sorry, sorry." Hattori Heiji said embarrassedly: "I'm just used to it."
"What? You look like you're only in high school, aren't you?" Yamamura Cao was surprised when he heard Hattori Heiji's words. "From what you said, it sounds like you're very experienced in reconnaissance."
"This is Hattori Heiji-kun, a famous high school detective in Kansai."
Hearing this, Tang Ze smiled and defended Hattori Heiji, saying, "We have handled many cases together, and your abilities are trustworthy."
"I see." Upon hearing this, Yamamura Cao smiled and patted his chest, saying, "I'm Yamamura Cao, an inspector of the First Investigation Division of Gunma Prefecture. Thank you for your guidance!"
'Police department? '
After hearing Yamamura So's self-introduction, Hattori Heiji looked at Tang Ze in disbelief. After receiving the other party's confirming look, he began to doubt his life.
Although it was just a preliminary contact, the other party didn't seem reliable no matter how you looked at it.
Comparing the inspector at the scene of his own investigation division with Inspector Megure in Tokyo, there is really a world of difference between them.
"Hey, what's that look in your eyes?"
Seeing Hattori Heiji's suspicious look, Yamamura So said unhappily, "I've solved many cases together with Detective Karasawa, the world-famous "famous detective"! If you don't believe me, ask Detective Karasawa!"
"Famous Detective!?"
Hearing what Yamamura Cao said, the dead people from the Inufushi family present were all shocked.
"Eh? Are you a famous detective in Tokyo?!" Inubushi Yukihime looked at Tang Ze in surprise.
"It's me."
Tang Ze nodded, then glanced at the three people beside him, a playful smile on his face: "But after learning my identity, your reactions seem to have changed the atmosphere a bit."
"I'm just a little surprised." Inufushi Kouzi explained, "After all, your deeds are widely known even in Gunma."
"Yes, just like the famous detective in Sherlock Holmes' novels, he is just a legendary figure."
Inufu Zen also nodded repeatedly and agreed: "Now that you suddenly appear, it even feels a little unreal to us."
Meanwhile, Inubushi Yukihime, who was standing by, seemed to have remembered something and quickly said, "Come to think of it, Mr. Shinichi did tell us something before he left the Inubushi family."
"He said that he asked a criminal friend he knew to investigate the mystery of the series of cases that occurred in the Inufushi family, so we should be mentally prepared." Inufushi Chiaki immediately echoed.
"But we didn't expect that he would actually invite you, the famous "famous criminal." Inubushi Zen's face was full of sighs.
"Actually, they found me, but in this situation, let Detective Karasawa take the lead." After listening to the three people's words, Hattori Heiji felt that there was no need to explain, so he tacitly agreed with them.
"Since you mentioned Mr. Shinichi, I'll ask you a question."
Tang Ze looked at the suspects who had been reduced to three again and asked, "Excuse me, were any of you in Tokyo when Mr. Shinichi was attacked?"
"Actually, the four of us went to Tokyo," Inufushi Koko replied.
"Huh?" Tang Ze was stunned for a moment before asking, "Excuse me, are you going to Tokyo together? Is there something important you need to do?"
"The reason we went to Tokyo was to persuade Mr. Shinichi to come home," Inubushi Yukihime explained.
