As Ayako finished speaking, everyone present fell silent.
Obviously, everyone was aware of this cruel fact after being reminded by Ayako.
And this cold-blooded murderer didn't just talk about it, he had killed two heirs, and Shinichi was also brutally murdered and has not woken up yet.
Don't worry, we will investigate everything clearly. Looking at the three girls with worries in their eyes, Tang Ze smiled and said: With us here, it will only become harder and harder for the criminals to commit murder.
Even so, you must pay attention to safety. Ayako couldn't help but explain: After all, if you watch too strictly, there is no guarantee that the prisoner will not jump over the wall to attack you.
Don't worry, we will sleep in the same room then.
Hattori Heiji raised his right arm and put his left hand on his bicep to show his force: If that guy comes, the two of us will beat him up and hand him over to the Gunma Prefectural Police.
Seeing that the three of them smiled reluctantly, Karasawa changed the subject and said: By the way, do you plan to go to Gunma County with us?
Are you going to investigate the demon dog? Xiaolan's face changed when she heard Tang Ze's words, and she was a little scared.
I, I want to go with you. Although Kazuha's face was full of fear, she came with Hattori Heiji after all, so even though she was extremely scared, she still insisted on setting off with Hattori Heiji.
forget it.
Although Hattori Heiji on the side is a bit straight, he can still clearly see the other person's fear: If you go, the accommodation will be your own. Are you sure you dare to fall asleep by yourself?
When Ye and I heard this, our faces immediately turned pale, and we stammered and couldn't speak at all.
If you want to go with Ye-chan, I can accompany you. Xiaolan, who was standing beside her, looked at her best friend's hesitant look and couldn't help but say.
But it can be seen that Xiaolan's face is also full of fear and entanglement, and it is obviously very difficult to make this decision.
You are already afraid of these ghostly things, so there is no need to force yourself to come with us.
Tang Ze, who was on the side, saw this and said to console: And we are not going out to have fun, but to investigate a case. If you go together, you have to take your safety into consideration.
Although Tang Ze's words did not explain it very straightforwardly, they all knew the current situation. They would not be able to help if they went there, and they would be a complete burden.
Well, although he was a little reluctant, Heye finally agreed.
But if you are really so reluctant, I have a way.
Seeing Kazuha's agreement, Karasawa looked at Kazuya's surprised look and said with a teasing expression: "When you sleep in the same room with Heiji at night, you don't have to worry about fear and safety."
How about it, do you want to consider my plan?
As soon as Karasawa's words came out, Kazuya's face immediately turned red, while Ayako and Conan looked at the two of them ambiguously, with aunty smiles appearing on their faces.
What nonsense are you talking about!
As another client, Hattori Heiji did not lower his head like an ostrich like Kazuha, but his dark skin was still flushed: I, how can the two of us live in the same room!
It's inconvenient, isn't it? Tang Ze chuckled: I know~ I know~ Do you accept or accept the relationship between men and women?
Humph! Hattori Heiji said angrily: This kind of joke is not funny at all.
I think it's a good proposal.
Karasawa blinked, and without waiting for Hattori Heiji to say anything else, he said first: Okay, if you don't want to go, I will let your sister Ayako continue to take you to have fun in Tokyo.
This is much more comfortable than going to work on a case with us. Just enjoy your trip to Tokyo after all.
Well. Seeing Tang Ze take the initiative to change the topic, He Ye on the side breathed a sigh of relief and nodded pretending to be reserved.
Okay, the meat in the hot pot is also cooked. Stop talking.
Let’s eat first.
After watching everyone discuss and finalize the subsequent itinerary, Tangze changed the topic to a more relaxed direction.
Oh! Eat it, eat it! Hattori Heiji picked up the colander and said: I heard that this is the hot pot of a flower gardener, so I want to try it!
In fact, the spicy side is the essence. Tang Ze took out the beef from the red side of the Yuanyang Pot and said: This is very fragrant, do you want some?
You can taste a little...it's not spicy, right? Hattori Heiji was fishing out meat from the bottom of a white, non-spicy pot. He looked at the meat on Karasawa's spoon and couldn't help but hesitate.
He's not very good at spicy food, so he might not be able to stand it.
Don’t worry, you’ll know after you try it. Tangze put the meat on the other party’s tray, then looked at Xiaolan and the others and said: What about you, do you want to try it?
I've been angry lately, so forget it. Ayako waved her hands and said.
I'll talk about it after Heiji has eaten it. We can't bear the spicy level. Kazuha, who was watching Hattori Heiji on the side, urged: "Try it quickly and tell me whether it is spicy or not."
Why don't you eat it yourself? Although Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes, he still picked up a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth.
How is it? Is it spicy? Kazuha looked at Hattori Heiji's expression expectantly and asked.
A little bit, but it's nothing compared to the aroma. Hattori Heiji's eyes lit up after chewing two mouthfuls, and he picked up the remaining beef on the plate and put it into his mouth.
I also tried it. I saw Hattori Heiji going through the thunder. Conan, who had been tricked by Karasawa several times, felt relieved when he saw this. He took the beef out of the spicy pot and put it in his mouth.
This looks very spicy, but it doesn't taste spicy at all. After eating, Conan looked at Xiaolan who was eager to try it and said with a smile: Don't worry, it's not spicy at all.
Seeing that even the kid Conan said it was not spicy, Xiao Lan and He Ye also tried it one after another.
After entering the mouth, the first thing you feel in your mouth is not the spiciness, but the fragrance that fills your mouth!
That’s the unique aroma that only chili peppers have!
The next closest thing is spiciness, but that slight spiciness does not make people feel uncomfortable, but rather gives people a feeling of complementing each other.
The spiciness quickly conquered several people, and they began to concentrate on cooking things in the spicy pot.
On the side, Karasawa and Ayako did not fight, but started eating in the clear soup pot, only occasionally eating some beef balls and other foods in the spicy pot.
But the eyes of the four people who didn't see each other looked at each other, but it was so meaningful.
After eating two plates of beef and various meatballs, the faces of the four Conan people still started to look a little strange.
They kept eating the food on the tray, sweating more and more on their foreheads, and their expressions became more and more distorted.
And they started drinking drinks more and more frequently.
No, it's getting spicier! Xiaolan was the first one who couldn't stand it, and He Ye quickly stopped and began to drink juice.
Yes, it was obviously not spicy at first! Hattori Heiji looked at Karasawa and said: Are you trying to trick us again!?
No, you see, neither of us felt anything. As he spoke, Karasawa fished out a few shrimps from the spicy pot and ate them directly.
But how could we be so spicy? He Ye was suspicious.
Don't just eat so much at once. Ayako smiled and took out the food from the clear soup pot and gave it to Kazuha: Eat some clear soup and dip it in sesame sauce, it will be ready in a while.
Sure enough, he was tricked again. Seeing this, Hattori Heiji said depressedly.
We also didn’t expect that there would be such chili peppers that keep stacking up.
Conan fanned his mouth and said depressedly: And if you had noticed the actions of Tang Zexin and the two of them eating alternately, they wouldn't have been fooled.
Upon hearing this, Ayako and Karasawa looked at each other and started laughing.
Seeing this, the four people didn't know that they had been fooled, and they all began to condemn the two people for their unscrupulous behavior.
As for the two people who were denounced,
There was no hint of regret on his cheerful expression. Instead, he smiled like a fox stealing a chicken, feeling extremely happy.
Now the four of them were even more depressed. In the end, they could only turn their appetite into strength, and they looked like their wallets were bleeding due to the need to eat.
Unfortunately, this was destined to be impossible. Several people had chubby stomachs after eating, but Tang Ze didn't even blink when he paid the bill, without any sense of distress.
Of course, during the meal, Tang Ze also told Xiaolan that he would take his apprentice with him for internship, so he would ask for leave.
In view of Conan's own wishes and the other party's first place result every time, Xiaolan readily agreed.
After eating and drinking, the three of Karasawa said goodbye to the three people who planned to go shopping, and drove towards Gunma Prefecture.
I hope you can gain something from going to Gunma.
Looking at the moving scenery outside the window, Hattori Heiji said: I have told Kazuha's mother about this before, and my aunt also asked me to convey my gratitude to you.
This is the third time I have expressed my gratitude like this. Tangze said helplessly.
Haha, but you also have to understand our mood. Hattori Heiji can also understand Karasawa's mood and said with a smile.
Okay, thank you for receiving it.
Tangze looked forward and said: Let's take advantage of this time on the road to sort out the information on the case.
By the way, do you know the names of the eight adopted sons and daughters of the Inubushi family?
Conan looked at Hattori Heiji and said: Assuming that the pearl was left by Mr. Shinichi, then a common way is to refer to it by name.
I have memorized their names before.
Hattori Heiji heard this and took out his cell phone: the names of the eight of them were Shinichi, Kauko, Saki, Chiko, Migako, Zenya, Hotaruji and Yukihime.
As for their names, they seemed to have been chosen by Chairman Tsunei Inufushi who passed away five years ago.
Who are those who have passed away? Conan, who did not understand the situation, asked.
The first one is Uncle Yingci who was chased by a demon dog and eventually fell off a cliff.
Hattori Heiji recited the scene of the other party's death in detail and said: As for the second person, it was Miss Migo who died because of the burning of the non-flammable swamp grass.
The third person to be attacked was Mr. Shinichi whom we went to meet today. He was also the only one to survive the attack by the criminals.
Three out of eight. Tang Ze sighed and said: In other words, we have to find the prisoner among the remaining five people. I hope everything goes well.
In the past, it was a classic choice of three, but this time it is a choice of five, which not only shows that the case has become more difficult, but also reveals a bloody future.
Because this is a serial murder case, in addition to Mr. Shinichi, subsequent criminals will definitely continue to commit crimes.
Therefore, they not only had to find the prisoner among the five people, but also kept an eye on the prisoner as much as possible during this period so that he could not commit the crime.
This is also a difficult situation for them. After all, as the saying goes, it is difficult to guard against house thieves day and night.
Even though there are three of them, they are still under great pressure without knowing when and by what means the prisoner will commit the crime.
Thinking of this, Karasawa felt a little regretful. He had no impression of this case. Even though it was a novel featuring Hattori Heiji, he had no impression of it.
Thinking about it now, I'm afraid I didn't look at it very seriously at the time, so I wasn't very impressed.
However, Tang Ze is used to this kind of thing, and he is fully prepared and will just do his best.
He quickly put this regret behind him and started driving with full concentration.
Although they were heading from Tokyo to Gunma Prefecture, the neon sign was only so big, and Karasawa's speed was so fast that the three of them quickly arrived at the boundary near Inubushi's house.
But once they get here, if they want to know the specific location of the Inubushi family, they need to go find it.
After all, the location of a mansion can
It will not be marked on signs at the edge of the road.
Find someone to ask.
Hattori Heiji looked around, and soon followed the car forward and locked onto an old man on crutches on the side of the road.
Excuse me, sir.
After Karasawa stopped the car, Hattori Heiji opened the car window and asked with a smile: Is there an Inubushi family mansion nearby? Do you know?
Inubushi family…
The old man, who was leaning on a cane and looking old and even a little scary, slowly said: What do you want to do there?
It's no big deal.
Hattori Heiji said with a relaxed tone and a smile: We are here just to solve a mystery about the puppy curse.
Hearing this, the old man raised his head and looked at Hattori Heiji, opened his mouth with few teeth and said: Although I don't want to say anything unlucky, I advise you to give up this idea.
If you step in with a half-hearted attitude just for fun, you may be burned black and blue by that devil dog.
oh…
When Hattori Heiji heard these terrifying words, he smiled disapprovingly and said: Don't worry, that's because the demon dog didn't meet a real hunter.
Old man, you'd better tell us the location of the Inubushi family's mansion.
Just on the hillside of the mountain in front, you can see the castle-like house, that's it.
The old man pointed to the tall building in the distance with his crutch, and his aging throat made a terrible sound: In our place, it is also called the mansion cursed by the devil dog.
