Koizumi Anko put down the coffee cup gracefully with a smile on her lips: "Yes, it's the legendary monster, about a puppy..."
"Puppy?" Shu Yunwen thought of the dog-faced man again, "...could there be another dog-faced man somewhere?"
"Of course not." Koizumi Anko shook her head, "Some time ago, six dead people were found hanging from trees in the forest of Shanni County outside Tokyo. The police sent personnel to investigate but found nothing. You should know about this, right?
"
Shu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Is that the one where six people went camping together, and ended up hanging from a tree on a rainy night?"
Of course Shu Yunwen knows about this case~
Six people were hung from a tree and died. This was considered a major case, and the media never stopped reporting on it.
The case occurred ten days ago. The general situation was that six college students made an appointment to go camping together, and then they were hanged from a tree near their camping site and died.
After the body was discovered, the Metropolitan Police Department dispatched personnel to set up a task force to investigate the case. Unfortunately, it rained heavily on the night of the incident, so there were almost no useful clues. Speaking of which, Shu Yunwen also saw the photos of the scene.
However, the three tents in the camping site were torn apart from the outside. Anyway, they were very violent...
"...Yes, that's that case. Although the police are still investigating, there is a high probability that their efforts in this case will be in vain." Koizumi Hongzi continued, "According to my speculation, those six people are likely to be
Killed by that legendary puppy."
"Xiaoquan-san, please stop being so pretentious, okay? What kind of puppy are you talking about?" Shu Yunwen rolled his eyes and picked up the coffee cup on the table.
Koizumi Hongzi smiled slightly: "Misty Dog!"
"Ah, foggy dog?" Shu Yunwen's eyes widened when he heard the name——
I'm so confused! He remembers that this foggy dog seemed to appear in the original Conan novel, and it seemed to be something that happened in a certain temple...
Is that what Koizumi Anko is talking about now?
…
Maori Detective Agency.
Xiaolan reached out and pushed open the office door: "I'm back!"
"Xiaolan, you're back! Could you please help me get a side dish to go with my wine?"
Uncle Maoli raised the beer can in his hand, and Xiaolan put her hands on her hips helplessly: "Really, Dad, what time is it now, and you have to drink again..."
"Hey...it doesn't look like there will be any entrustment today anyway, so what does it matter...eh? Tsukamoto-san?" Uncle Mouri's eyes fell on Tsukamoto Sumi next to Xiaolan.
Tsukamoto Sumi immediately bent down to greet her: "Hello, Detective Mori, I want to borrow Xiaolan's math class notes, so I came here to get them. I'm sorry to bother you."
"Well, it's okay, please take a seat." Uncle Maori waved his hand indifferently.
Xiaolan turned to Tsukamoto Sumi, smiled, and tilted her head: "Sumi-san, please sit down and wait a moment."
"Okay, Xiaolan."
Tsukamoto Sumi nodded. Xiaolan was about to go upstairs to find her notes when she heard the office phone ringing. She quickly walked to the phone and answered it: "Hello, this is the Mori Detective Agency. May I ask?
…”
"...Huh? It's Shinichi! Seriously, where have you gone? Do you still want to go to school?"
…
"The foggy dog...could it be the legendary monster that appears on heavy rainy days and then catches people in mid-air and hangs them to death?"
Shu Yunwen still vaguely remembered the legend of the foggy dog.
Koizumi Hongzi was stunned for a moment: "Huh? Classmate Shu, do you also know about the foggy dog? It's strange... that legend should only be spread in places close to the forest in Shanni County."
"...There happens to be a boy in our class who is from Shanni County. He told me in detail the origin of the legend of the foggy dog."
"...A long time ago, there was a man in Shanni County who liked to torture dogs. He often killed the dogs and then hung them on his tree. The villagers advised him not to do this, but he ignored them. One day
, he found a female dog that had just given birth to puppies on the roadside, so he took the female dog and all the puppies home, and then hung them one by one on a tree on a night of heavy rain. However, when he got up the next day
Later, he discovered that all the dogs he had hung in the tree were gone."
"... He didn't pay much attention to this matter. However, a few days later, when it rained heavily again in the village, people in the village vaguely heard the howling of dogs mixed in the rain. Early the next morning, that person's family
They were all dead, the couple was hung on the scale of the room, and their three children were hung on the tree..."
Koizumi Hongzi briefly told the legend about the foggy dog, and then asked with a smile: "Classmate Shu, are you interested in going to see the foggy dog together?"
Shu Yunwen thought for a while and said: "...I'm interested in taking a look. However, my strength seems...if the foggy dog is really like the folklore, and can catch people flying, I
But it may not be its opponent..."
"Student Shu, you are wrong. That foggy dog is not as powerful as you thought." Koizumi Hongzi chuckled, stretched out her hand to grab her necklace, and pulled it hard, and it suddenly became
A notebook that looks a bit old:
"...My ancestors once encountered and killed Wutian Dog. According to this notebook, the original body of Wutian Dog should be a special undead spirit formed by the fusion of a more powerful evil spirit and the clouds and mist in the mountains. Wutian Dog
Tengu is usually very weak and cannot even lift a one-kilogram stone. But once it rains at night, its body characteristics will absorb water vapor and expand, turning into a terrifying fog tengu that kills people and eats souls!"
"...So, we just need to find it during the day and then solve it."
Shu Yunwen took the old notebook and took a look at it. Sure enough, the content written on it was the same as what Koizumi Hongzi said - if the content in this notebook is true, then there seems to be nothing wrong with following it. And, by the way,
Get up, if Wutian Dog is really a murderous evil spirit that he can get rid of, he really needs to go there. This is also the responsibility of his ghost wizard...
but……
Shu Yunwen looked up at Koizumi Hongzi strangely: "...Listen to what you mean, you want to kill that foggy dog? Why?"
Could it be that the witch Koizumi Anko also has a compassionate character?
Koizumi Anko smiled and said: "First, it is better to clean up the monster that kills people randomly; second, Kiriten Dog has a special alchemical material, magic mist, on his body, and I need it."
Qiaodou Sack~What the hell is this magical mist?
It's easy for people to complain about these unscientific things casually, okay?!
