Chapter 3199 3211 [Young Black Bear]
On the other side, Huiyuan Ai looked at the fleeing rabbit from afar and sighed softly: "Sure enough, that person planned to wait for us to appear, pretend to be mistaken, and shoot us as prey."
She looked at the short figure in the crowd again. "Even if we find a main road and shout in advance in an uncovered place, making others realize that we are human... the killer hunter can also capture Yoshida-san nearby and use her as a hostage, and use this as an excuse to kill everyone else. In this vast forest, it doesn't matter whether we hide one person or ten."
Jiang Xia looked down at her and tilted his head: "..." The murderer prefers to take Ayumi as a hostage. Is this a consensus among all of you?
Thinking of the bloody scene imagined by the mini scientist, Jiang Xia touched her head and said, "The guns they use are not from the organization. These hunting rifles cannot fire continuously. After each shot, you have to eject the shell manually and reload it. Even if you are a hunter with the fastest hands, you still need two or three seconds to reload the second shot after firing the first one. This time is enough for Xiaolan or Conan to do something."
However, Huihara Ai couldn't rest assured: "But this also means that he has at least a way to shoot and kill someone. We have to find a way to avoid this tragedy. In addition..."
She turned around and looked behind her. She didn't know when a little bear had appeared there. "Why do you think this bear has been following us?"
"Maybe he wants to come home with me." Jiang Xia suddenly reached out, picked up the black bear cub that was a step too slow and shrank back, picked it up and rubbed it a few times, "It's so cute, and it will be very capable when it grows up. I don't mind raising one."
"…But the law minds, and black bears are too dangerous when they grow up." Huihara Ai's eyes twitched slightly. Alcohol, guns, speeding and black bears. Why does Jiang Xia always have these illegal hobbies... It must be the organization's fault.
After a brief distraction, Huihara Ai quickly focused on the present. She returned to the topic and looked at the little bear in Jiang Xia's hand that wanted to run but didn't dare to, so it had to freeze like a bear biscuit:
"I guess it got separated from the mother bear and was frightened by the gunshots and the group of hunters, so it subconsciously followed us. Since it has given us trust, let's protect it first before stopping the brutal hunter."
…
When humans kidnap innocent black bears.
The other side.
As the hunters walked, they suddenly discovered something and stopped to whisper to each other.
Conan came back to his senses and saw this scene, and walked closer in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Lawyer Ju raised his hand and pointed at the tree trunk: "Look."
When the group of people looked over, they saw that two pieces of bark had fallen off the tree trunk, and there were several deep marks on the exposed white wood.
"This should be left by the black bear when it was foraging. The traces are still fresh." The hunters took out their cameras and took a few photos:
"First, they use their claws to peel off the outer bark of the tree, and then chew on the sweet bark inside, which will leave marks like this - these claw marks are widely spaced and located high, which must have been left by a huge black bear."
The dwarf looked up at the marks on the tree and whispered, "It's Jubei."
The long-haired hunter didn't get along well with the old man and questioned, "How do you know? Maybe there are other tall black bears here."
The dwarf looked at the shorter mark: "The taller piece of bark was gnawed away by Jubei, and the lower one must be the mark left by the cubs it gave birth to."
"Ah? It gave birth? Jubei can give birth to a child?" Suzuki Sonoko was stunned. It took her not-so-smart brain a while to come to a conclusion. "The Jubei you're talking about turned out to be a female bear?"
"Of course, don't you know this?" The dwarf said, as if to say, "This is common sense."
"Since ancient times, the mountain gods in the forest have all been jealous goddesses. In order to hunt safely, we hunters must do everything we can to avoid arousing the jealousy of the mountain gods."
"That's why we gave that popular female bear a man's name. Also, she happened to have only one eye, so we simply named her after the one-eyed swordsman, Yagyu Jubei Sanyan."
The long-haired man also heard about this for the first time. He chuckled and became more interested: "A female bear can actually have such a big body - no matter what method is used, I really have to see it with my own eyes."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly felt someone was looking at him, and when he turned around, he saw the old lawyer who was always smiling but inexplicably made people feel a little intimidated.
"What's wrong?" The long-haired man stared back at him, not wanting to be outdone. "What are you looking at?"
Lawyer Ju came back to his senses and smiled: "I just think it's a coincidence that what you just said is exactly the same as what my friend said - it seems that you two will have a lot in common."
Conan was startled, and gradually had other guesses. He asked Lawyer Tachibana: "Did the friend you mentioned also come to this mountain to hunt?"
"Yes, it's an old client of mine." Lawyer Ju looked at his watch. "He came here early in the morning. We agreed to meet at a certain time, but I didn't see him when he came. He went hunting first. He is a hunting fanatic. I guess he forgot about the meeting and focused on playing."
As he said this, he looked at Conan, and was a little surprised after realizing it: "Little boy, how did you know that my friend is here?"
Conan was thinking about something else. Hearing this, he said casually: "When you took the camera out of your pocket just now, I saw that you still had some shotgun bullets loaded in it. They were nine-grain bullets, but the bullet in your shotgun was an ordinary one-grain bullet. Hunters generally don't use two kinds of bullets at the same time..."
As he was talking, he was suddenly startled, and caught a glimpse of Curacao standing beside him. He quickly smiled like a child, "This is what Brother Jiang Xia told me when I heard that this is a hunting area."
Curacao: "..." Do you need to tell me? Everyone knows who ordered you. Anyway, why are you looking at me and saying this... What are your intentions? What is Uzo's conspiracy?
Lawyer Tachibana knew that the kid had helped Jiang Xia solve many cases, and was very receptive to Conan's sharpness. He nodded with a smile:
"You're right. These are indeed the spare bullets I brought for him. He found out he had forgotten something on his way here, so he called me and asked me to bring them to him. But since he wasn't waiting for me at the meeting place, he must have gotten the bullets by some other means."
Conan: "..." No, although it may not be a good idea to say this, it is also possible that your friend has already...
