"Well... Moreover, we are relatively familiar with this mountain..." The old hunter also agreed.

So, accompanied by three hunters, everyone began to search for Haiyuan, Mitsuhiko and Asaha in this mountain forest.

Asa Yu was still on the way, but Mitsuhiko and Hui Principle saw Conan's group and the three hunters through the telescope, and then stopped Mitsuhiko who wanted to shout loudly.

"Wait a minute! The hunter just now is also with them."

"Eh? Why..."

"Because we are witnesses, we have no way out! If we go out casually, we will be shot to death! The murderer will definitely argue that he shot us because he thought we were bears..."<

/p>

Now that Asaba's whereabouts are unknown, Haibara can only tell Conan the current situation through indirect hints.

The two people deliberately walked in circles, using Mitsuhiko's potato slices to tell Conan and his party the direction in which they were walking, hoping that Conan would discover their intentions.

"Hey! Doctor! Tell the people at the hotel where we just found Mitsuhiko's badge, and ask them to go there with the police to investigate."

Conan quietly pushed the doctor to the back of the team and whispered to the doctor.

"What? Police?"

"They left very clear traces, but we haven't been able to track them down. Isn't it strange?"

"Then are they hiding from bears?"

"No, there were blood stains on the place where Mitsuhiko's medal was found, and there were new bullet holes on the tree next to it...so it wasn't a bear they were hiding from."

At this time, there was some movement in the bushes behind them. Just when the children thought it was Mitsuhiko and Haiyuan, the three hunters set up their guns and opened fire without even saying hello, causing the children and Haiyuan to

The doctors were all shocked.

It turned out that there was a little rabbit in the bushes, and it ran away in a panic. But the doctor and the others would not accept just a misunderstanding!

"What are you doing?! If you were a child just now..."

"We can still tell the difference between children and prey. Even if the big bear named Jubei comes, you don't have to worry... I will use the same speed to deal with it."
p>

"Hmph... Your little bullets can't hurt that guy. If you want to survive, don't shoot randomly even if you encounter Jubei. That guy can distinguish human smells and will kill him silently.

If he gets close to you, he won't fall down even if he's shot. He's like a black monster over two meters long...Only I can catch him, because I was the one who destroyed his glasses twenty years ago."

The old hunter had a gloomy face as he recounted the terror of the "Jubei" and his twenty-year obsession.

The scene just now was also seen by Mitsuhiko and Haibara who were using telescopes.

"As expected...that hunter planned to shoot us as soon as he saw us..."

"But we shouted on the road and were not afraid to wait for them to come..."

"But isn't Ayumi over there? Maybe he will take her as a hostage and then kill everyone... After all, he has already killed one person..."
p>

"No, it can't be!"

"Judging from the way he shot us just now, he may have gone up the mountain with his companions who had a deep hatred, and then waited for an opportunity to shoot them to death!"

"Yes, but don't you have to apply for hunting first? No matter what, if the body is discovered, the hunters who went up the mountain together will still be suspected!"

"No, they usually apply for a long stay, and it doesn't matter when they go up the mountain to hunt during that period. So it doesn't matter how many people go up the mountain or at any time... In other words, if he asks the deceased to come forward

If you apply for a mountain climbing certificate and then forge an alibi yourself, even if the body is found, it will be thought that it was accidentally killed by a hunter..."

"Then... then we saw the scene of his murder..."

"Yes...it was us who caused all his plans to fail, so he wants to get rid of us right away!"

"In this case, we shouldn't use potato chips. We should prevent them from finding us and escape from the forest as soon as possible!"

"No! It's very dangerous to act alone in this strange forest, so the best way to leave this mountain is to join the doctor and the others... Although there is a guy who ran in alone for some reason.

!"

"You mean Asaba-san?"

"Well...but don't worry, at least nothing will happen to him. Although I don't know the reason, he should appear soon...Now we have to solve our problems first

, if you drop the detective badge next to the corpse, Edogawa-san will definitely find something fishy. But we have to think of other ways to tell him the current situation..."

Haiyuan walked forward, but her eyebrows twitched, but she still endured it. She was not willing to hold back at this time.

"As for why I let it follow...because I don't want this little bear to suffer any accidents."

"Oh... that's right."

The two looked at the little bear that had been following them.

The doctor on the other end followed Conan's instructions and called the hotel to call the police. After the police arrived at the scene, they called the doctor back and told them that a male body with a bullet in the abdomen was found in the woods.

After Conan understood the situation, he hung up the phone before the three hunters asked.

"Hey! Why don't you tell the truth? Maybe among these hunters..."

"It's not that it's wrong...but the murderer is among these three people! It should be Haiyuan and the others who saw the murderer's crime scene, so he wanted to kill and silence...just act with us.

I want to wait until they have no way to go and shoot them when they run out, and then lie about thinking they are bears..."

Conan's reasoning frightened the doctor. He was very worried about the safety of the children!

"Well, Shinichi... do you know who the murderer is?"

"No, I have no idea, there are too few clues... But don't worry, if Haiyuan is here, she will definitely tell us who the murderer is... using a method that only we know!"

"Ah, look! A lot of mushrooms have fallen here!"

While Conan was talking, Ayumi seemed to notice something and called Conan and the others over to take a look.
