At dusk, there were still six people left in the villa: Qin Zhibo, Conan, Mao Lilan, Hakuba Tan, Gunda Ikumi, and the maid.
While passing by the hall, Detective White Horse suddenly asked the maid if there was any raw meat left in the kitchen, and received a positive reply.
Qin Zhibo: "What? You haven't eaten enough?"
The white horse detective was startled for a moment, shook his head, and explained: "Actually, I want to give it to Watson. He hasn't had his dinner yet."
In fact, Detective White Horse did not reveal all of his plans.
On the one hand, he wanted to feed dinner, but on the other hand, he wanted to use Watson to inform the butler Ah Fu at the foot of the mountain.
The white horse detective has already glued a sign on the roof of Ah Fu's car in advance. He just needs to tie the request for help to the eagle's leg and let Watson fly over, and everything is done.
While the maid went to fetch the meat, the detective on white horse blew his eagle whistle.
Others stayed in the hall because they were curious about how to feed the eagle.
However, Detective White Horse whistled several times in succession until his brain was deprived of oxygen, and no response came from Watson the Eagle.
"It's strange that it usually flies in front of me at this time."
Before Bai Ma Tan could finish his words, a black shadow fell from a height and fell heavily to the ground.
Taking a closer look, it turned out to be Watson.
It's just that at this moment, Watson was covered in blood, half of his originally sharp eagle's beak was broken off, his feathers were scattered on the ground, and his body was paralyzed on the ground as if he had rickets.
"Ah!" Mao Lilan screamed in fright.
"It's Watson!"
Detective White Horse was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly knelt forward. He wanted to start but didn't know where to start, so he could only shout the name "Watson" over and over again.
Conan on the side was the first to react and directed the maid who had just come over with raw meat, "Quickly find the medical kit!"
"yes!"
The frightened maid could only put down the raw meat and turned around to find the medical kit.
The original sharp gaze of the eagle gradually weakened, and its drooping wings flapped feebly, as if it wanted to crawl to Bai Ma Tan's side to seek some comfort.
This made Detective White Horse even more distressed, and he quickly used human words to comfort Watson not to move anymore.
Everyone looked at the dying Watson and felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts, and they were even more unclear about who would do this to the eagle.
Or have this ability.
After all, the eagle is a ferocious bird, not a small animal. It has an absolute dominance in the sky, and it is difficult for humans to threaten it.
And judging from its body, it was not a gunshot wound, but something else.
Only Qin Zhibo rolled his eyes and immediately thought of the "Kazilan big eyes" he saw in the secret monitoring room.
By the time the maid came over with the medical kit, Watson had closed his eyes forever.
The eagle's body gradually became cold and stiff, and its spread wings were like dead objects like feather fans, and they no longer moved.
The white horse detective knelt down next to Watson's body, burying his head deeply and remaining silent.
Everyone felt a little uncomfortable when they saw this scene.
Even when faced with the death of the great leader Zhu Shan just now, no one felt such a low mood.
It’s not that humans are inferior to eagles, but sometimes the relationship between humans and animals is more sincere than between humans.
…
Qin Zhibo wanted to check the eagle's carcass, but animal carcasses would not appear at the investigation point, and he had no veterinary skills.
At this time, Baima Tan was sitting on his knees on the ground, his spirit was greatly affected, and his brain was in a state of confusion.
Raising eagles is one of the traditional habits of British nobles. This pure-blooded Harris hawk was obtained by White Horse Detective from a British noble client two years ago.
Watson, a good partner who fought alongside him, often went to death scenes with him.
Although it is not smart enough to track criminals, Detective White Horse is already used to holding a raptor in his hand and posing in front of the media.
However, starting from today, Watson is gone.
At this moment, Baima Tan felt extremely regretful, regretting why he had brought Watson here who had nothing to do with all this.
"I'll bury it first"
Detective White Horse silently picked up Watson's body and quietly walked out the door.
Mao Lilan looked at the lonely back of the white horse detective and felt a little distressed. Although she didn't like this high school detective who liked to sit around, she didn't dislike him either.
Especially since Baima Tan had just lost his beloved pet, the kind-hearted Mao Lilan felt even more pity.
"I will go with you!"
"Sister Xiaolan, wait for me!"
Wherever Mao Lilan went, Conan would certainly follow, so the two of them followed Baima Tan to bury the eagle.
Qin Zhibo and Gunda Ikumi, who stayed in the hall, glanced at each other, and they both saw each other's desire to find the murderer who attacked the eagle.
Qin Zhibo squatted on the ground, looked at the blood stains smeared by the eagle on the floor tiles for a while, then raised his head and asked: "Miss former prosecutor, can you tell what kind of creature's blood this is?"
Gunda Ikumi shook his head, "Unfortunately, there are no professional instruments here, and I can't judge."
"But judging from the eagle's body just now, it shouldn't have been a gunshot wound. What did it seem to be fighting for before it was alive?"
Ikumi Gunada is not sure, because in terms of the food chain, eagles have no natural enemies.
But from a fighting perspective, any creature that can fly is likely to have friction with an eagle.
At this time, Qin Zhibo stood up and suggested: "Let's search layer by layer first. Maybe the murderer of the eagle has not gone far."
"good idea."
Gunda Ikumi nodded in agreement.
Qin Zhibo and Gunda Ikumi formed a team. They started searching from the second floor and soon found some fresh blood stains on the carpet.
Blood stains were scattered all over the corridor. The two of them traced the source of the blood stains and found a room with an open door.
Turn on the light in the room. This is a piano room with a huge piano placed in it.
Qin Zhibo stepped forward to check and saw that the piano's paint surface had traces of scratches by sharp objects. The traces were very fresh and should be the claw marks of an eagle.
This may be the place where Watson fought with unknown creatures.
Ikumi Gunada put on her gloves and opened the key cover, which was well protected inside.
But between the keys, a piece of yellowed paper happened to be sandwiched there.
Ikumi Gunada pulled out the paper, and Qin Zhibo also stretched his head to read it.
There are pen calligraphy with a sense of age on it. The content written on it cannot be said to have nothing to do with the code prompt that the speaker dummy said in the restaurant before, but it can only be said to be exactly the same.
However, this time the code was represented on an actual object, and Qin Zhibo's code investigation came into play.
【Secret Word Survey√】
[The two travelers represent the hour and minute hands, and looking up represents returning the two hands to zero; the king, princess, and soldier represent the K, Q, and J of the playing cards; the treasure, the Holy Grail, the sword, and the soldier represent diamonds, hearts, spades, and the earth.
Color change]
The investigation description was a bit lengthy, but after reading it, Qin Zhibo also understood the meaning of the code.
Qin Zhibo raised his head and was about to think about how to use this information to lead out the mastermind, when he suddenly saw the vent on the ceiling.
A pair of big Kazlan eyes are lurking in the darkness, ready to move.
