Chapter 3205 3217 [Case Closed] Request for monthly ticket (`)
The old hunter recalled those days, feeling a strange sense of relief amidst the fear: "No matter how terrified I was, my body was always warm. Standing next to a live bear in the snow, I almost forgot all the other pains."
"We, the man and the bear, leaned on each other for an unknown amount of time. When I was groggy, I suddenly heard a gunshot - someone shot Jubei in the eye from a distance, and the bear left in a hurry, covered in blood."
"The hunter later said that he followed the bear's footprints all the way here, and then he saw me. In other words, if it weren't for Jubei, I would have frozen to death in that cold spring."
"After that, I moved my family to a nearby place and went up to the mountains every day with my hunting rifle. Whenever I spotted Jubei, I would fire my rifle into the air and drive it away to the deep mountains where there were no hunters."
Suzuki Sonoko was moved by the friendship between the man and the bear, but suddenly she felt something was wrong: "Wait, but when you mentioned Jubei just now, it didn't seem to be said like that at all - you clearly said that the bear was vicious and loved to eat people, and had an irreconcilable hatred for humans..."
The old hunter sighed and said, "I made up this story to scare people away from hunting bears."
The long-haired hunter sneered, "You are a hunter, but you actually protect animals, and you don't even know how to protect them. Do you know that many people think it is very challenging to come to Chiba County to hunt that vicious black bear because of your lies, and they came all the way here?"
"But no wonder some people occasionally see traces of bears, but no one ever sees a bear... It turns out that you drove them back long before anyone else encountered them."
"in addition……"
Thinking of the unlucky colleague who was shot dead by the old hunter while hunting Jubei, the long-haired hunter was frightened: "I really sympathize with the guy you killed. He was just hunting normally, but he was killed by a traitor among the hunters."
The old hunter snorted, "Bears are a gift from nature. We hunters shouldn't have included such smart black bears in our shooting lists. As for the guy I shot dead..."
He shook his head. "If Jubei was really found and killed by the hunter, that would be fate. I have nothing to say. But that guy, the one who pointed a shotgun at Jubei, he completely violated the laws of nature!"
Looking at the suddenly angry old man, the long-haired man asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
The old hunter clenched his fists tightly. "Jubei recently gave birth to two bear cubs, and he occasionally took them out to hunt for food. But that bastard took the opportunity to kill one of Jubei's children. He hung the body of the cub on a tree, hoping to lure Jubei out and kill him!"
"I heard the black bear roaring, and when I got there, I couldn't believe my eyes - Jubei was trying desperately to get his cub down from the tree, and that man was right next to him, pointing a shotgun at his head!"
"I didn't think twice before I pulled the trigger - he wasn't one of my kind, but a ghost in human skin!"
Ghosts: "..." Why are you a ghost? Do you have a problem with the righteous ghosts? !
The long-haired hunter scratched his head and muttered, "If that's the case, then he really went too far. But breaking a leg is enough to show his respect. Why kill someone..."
Lawyer Ju sighed. He felt a headache when he thought about the sudden death of the client with whom he had a lot of vested interests.
Thinking of the increased workload, he looked at the old hunter with a look that turned a little cold:
"As a hunter, this is indeed not in line with the established rules of your small circle, but in fact my old friend was just hunting and did not break the law. You have no right to shoot him.
"There are many people who are ignorant of the law in this deep forest. As his old friend, I will take over this case. Just wait for the punishment of the law."
——Of course, their friendship was only part of the reason. Another part was that if he took over the case, he would have a reason to frequently visit his old friend's house, which would also make it easier to erase some information and contacts that were unfavorable to him.
The old hunter didn't know the twists and turns of this city elite. He sensed the hostility in the other party's words and snorted indifferently: "Whatever you say."
…
Even though the truth behind the murder was revealed, the old hunter was not too panicked and did not try to escape.
He just looked back at the forest with worry after meeting the police who came to look for him - he seemed to be more worried about whether Jubei would come to the outskirts of the forest frequently after he left and be hunted than himself.
Not long after meeting up with the police, the group returned to the perimeter of the barbed wire fence and left the hunting area.
Looking at the corpse of the little bear on the ground, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko couldn't bear to watch and looked away.
Jiang Xia also looked at the bear, then at the children next to them, and suddenly sighed: "..." Whether it was the children or the little bear, it seemed that they didn't have so many obsessions, and it was difficult for them to turn into ghosts.
A few children accidentally looked up and met his gaze. They were startled and stood still like statues: "..." Why is Brother Jiang Xia looking over here! What did we do? !
The naughty kids who behaved relatively well were seriously and frantically reviewing and reflecting on the past.
Next to her, Haibara Ai was paying attention to something else.
After she recovered from the black bear's attack and was no longer being carried or hugged by Jiang Xia, she slowly discovered that the aura of the surrounding organization seemed to have become much stronger.
——The dark aura seemed to come from the female lawyer next to him. The sense of oppression brought by this woman was much stronger than expected. Just standing next to her and being looked at casually by her was like being stared at by some terrible monster.
"Why is she staring at me? An ordinary child wouldn't freeze like this when being stared at by her. Could it be that she has discovered something wrong with me?" Huiyuan Ai clenched her fists tightly, pricking the pain in her palms with her fingertips, trying to get herself back to thinking:
"But I can't control my body's reaction... No, I can't go on like this, I have to think of a solution quickly..."
Her thoughts were turning stiffly, and suddenly, Haibara Ai remembered something.
A reassuring voice slowly sounded in her mind - "Don't be too afraid of her. Although Miss Shirai is very capable, she is not the kind of person who is too ambitious and a little timid. You still remember the way Conan smiled sinisterly."
