Smoothing the "corners" means plastering all the corners in the house into arcs.

In addition, Kudo Shinichi also formulated various visitor requirements to prevent visitors from entering the room with things that can form "corners".

If this is the case, the book that the previous head of the Inufu family obtained from the wandering monk should be the "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Sutra".

Chapter 5 records the two kinds of time, the "Curve Realm" and the "Zigzag Realm", as well as the creatures that live in the zigzag time and space - the Hounds of Tindalos.

Aren't polylines just "corners"?

The fact that Kudo Shinichi did this means that he has used Liao Dan to travel through time and see the Hound of Tindalos.

In order to save his life, he, like the head of the Inubushi family, closed himself in a space full of arcs to survive.

But does this really work?

"and after?"

"Did the Inufushi family master survive?"

Qin Zhibo asked the doubts in his heart.

The old man looked down slightly, then slowly raised his head, staring at Qin Zhibo with a pair of cloudy eyes.

"No……"

"About half a year later, the head of the Inubushi family couldn't bear the torture of not seeing the light of day, and one night he set himself on fire."

"My grandfather said that at that time, many people saw the shadows of hounds blurring and twisting in the increasingly intense flames."

"Later, the Inubushi family built a tomb for worship to the 'Inugami' and hid the evil book somewhere..."

The old man exhaled slightly, which meant that his story was finished.

Qin Zhibo sat on the bench, frowning and thinking deeply.

It turns out that the grave at the bottom of the cliff was not used to commemorate the loyal dog accidentally killed by the Inufushi family.

At that time, many people saw the shadow of the dog in the flames, so they mistakenly thought that the flames had burned the "dog god" to death, so they built a tomb.

As for the "evil book" - the Seven Chapters of Xuanwu Secret Scripture, it was hidden somewhere by the descendants of the Inufushi family.

But if that's the case, why does this book appear in the cabin?

That wooden house is obviously far less than a hundred years old...

Unless the real murderer is that person...

A heavy look flashed across Qin Zhibo's face, and while he was thinking, the phone in his arms suddenly rang.

Bell, bell, bell—the short and lively ringing broke the silence in the room.

He took out his phone, looked at the number, and found that it was Mao Lilan's number.

I guess it was discovered that I didn't sleep in the room in the middle of the night.

However, since it can be discovered, it also means that there may be some new situation in the Inufushi family, and you need to know it yourself.

Qin Zhibo answered the phone decisively, "Xiaolan, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Qin, where are you now? Are Conan and Hattori Heiji with you?"

Qin Zhibo's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he said: "I am at the foot of the mountain now, and they are not with me..."

"What happened to the two of them? Did something happen to Inubushi City again?"

When Mao Lilan heard this, anxiety appeared on her beautiful face, and she quickly explained the situation to Qin Zhibo.

What?

After listening to Mao Lilan's story, Qin Zhibo frowned, a little surprised by this incredible development.

The next second, he suddenly woke up.

wrong!

This is why the murderer continues to be silenced!

"I understand. You guys hurry up to the cabin and I will go there right away..."

After saying that, Qin Zhibo quickly hung up the phone.

The old man sitting across the table remained silent throughout the whole process. Just by looking at Qin Zhibo's expression and the few words leaked out during the short phone call, he knew it was not going to be a good thing.

"Something happened to the Inubushi family again?"

"Well...thank you for saying this to me."

Qin Zhibo responded, not intending to say more to irrelevant people, and stood up to leave.

As soon as they reached the entrance, the old man behind suddenly murmured.

"I have a hunch that the Inugami will appear again tonight..."

Qin Zhibo turned his head slightly and took a deep look at the old man.

Then, he opened the door and left without saying a word.

…

forest.

Beside the swamp, a dilapidated cabin stood alone on the grass at the edge of the forest.

If you look carefully, you can see a medium-sized halo of light spreading out on the rough window glass surface of the cabin.

If you get closer, you can still hear voices coming from inside the wooden house.

"Miss Yukihime, why did you suddenly call me out at such a late hour?"

"You know, I'm most afraid of the dark..."

Chiko Inufushi looked around the narrow wooden house with the light of the flashlight in his hand. He seemed to be afraid and carefully shrank his neck.

Standing opposite Chiko was none other than the youngest adopted child of the Inubushi family, Inubushi Yukihime.

I saw an undisguised sullenness on her face, and she yelled at Zhihuang when she came up.

"Mr. Chihuang! Stop pretending!"

"I already know who the person who killed Brother Yingci, Sister Meiwozi and the others is!"

"That's you!"

Xing Ji said something shocking, and suddenly raised her hand to point at Chihuang, startling Chihuang across from her.

His shocked expression lasted for several seconds, and a few drops of cold sweat slowly flowed from his forehead, and then he quickly made a fake smile to defend himself.

"Heh, heh...ah?"

"What are you talking about? I'm the murderer?"

"The murderer who killed them was a devil dog! It was a devil dog whose body was on fire!"

"And look! Even I was burned by the devil dog!"

With that said, Zhihuang raised his arm that was burned by the flames, with some bandages still wrapped on it.

But faced with such "evidence", Xing Ji shook her head with firm eyes.

"wrong!"

"That's the arm you burned with a lighter! I've already seen it!"

"I saw everything. You used your own dog to dress up as a devil dog and attack Brother Yingci and the others!"

At this time, Xing Ji's tone suddenly became weaker, her eye circles had a glimmer of light, and her voice became trembling.

"So please stop lying..."

"Why?"

"We are obviously a family, why do you do this?"

Facing Xingji's question, Chihuang stood there with a shocked face and grabbed his body with his hands at a loss.

After a few seconds, his expression suddenly relaxed.

"Of course it is to fulfill my mother's last wish and inherit Inufushi Castle..."

"The inheritance tax for this Inubushi family mansion, which is as huge as a castle, is tens of millions of yen. I have no choice but to use this method to increase the share I can inherit."

"Not only that, even if the inheritance can go smoothly, the other four people will not agree to keep Inufushi Castle and will definitely advocate selling Inufushi Castle for money."

"This is a wonderful castle full of mother's memories. I really don't want to give up!"

Chiko expressed his motives in an emotional voice, which made Yukihime's expression on the other side tremble.

She originally thought that Zhihuang did this simply so that she could inherit more.

But when she mentioned that kind mother, Yukihime was also a little moved.

She lowered her head slightly and murmured: "I can understand your mood..."

"I don't want the history of this castle to drift away like this, but is this not the reason for you to kill?"
