"Please surrender yourself before the detectives find out..."

"Before it's too late..."

Before Xing Ji could finish her words, Chihuang who was opposite him suddenly took out a handkerchief from his pocket and rushed towards her.

"ah……"

Before Xingji could shout this, Chihuang had already covered her mouth with a handkerchief.

A fragrant smell poured into the nasal cavity, and Xingji suddenly felt weak, her legs weakened, and she fell to the ground.

She took one last look at the ferocious-looking Zhihuang, closed her eyes, and lost consciousness.

"call……"

After doing this, Zhihuang breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although he has killed many people, this is the first time that he has done so personally.

As Yukihime said, he used to use "magic dogs" to scare other adopted children, forcing them to fall into cliffs and swamps.

The advantage of this method is that as long as the "magic dog" is not caught, the police and detectives will have no evidence to prove that he is the murderer.

It just so happens that the Inufushi family has a legend about the "Curse of the Demonic Dog" from long ago, which can be used as a cover for killing people.

Now, as long as Yukihime's death is blamed on the "devil dog"...

In fact, even if Yukiji hadn't called him to the cabin, he had already planned to stop after killing the last person.

The four adopted children who opposed the inheritance of Inubushi City have died, and he needs a murderer.

Originally, Kudo Shinichi was wanted to take on this role, but the coward was so frightened that he left Inubushi Castle.

This was indeed beyond his expectation.

So, he organized other adopted children and went to Tokyo to persuade Kudo Shinichi to come back.

If he cannot be persuaded to come back, he will be treated with carbon monoxide poisoning.

In this way, the "curse" can be made more realistic.

However, the curse can only temporarily set up the confusion. If you want to solve it once and for all, you still need a real "murderer".

Among the remaining three adopted children, he chose Yukihime as the target of the blame.

Because he had heard some rumors from Ms. Saomi before that Yukihime's original name did not comply with the naming rules of the Inubushi family, and she might not have been born to Chairman Inubushi.

There is no reason to be merciful to people who obtain inheritance rights through false pretences.

Therefore, even if Xingji didn't take the initiative to come to her tonight, he had already prepared the note for Xingji to "surrender" and made all arrangements.

It's just that he really didn't expect that Yuki Ji would be the first to find out the identity of his murderer.

How did she know?

Did she say ‘saw it’?

How is it possible for people to see it?

Chihuang thought back to the several crimes he had committed, which were all carried out secretly in the forest. The dogs were also secretly raised near the hut. Except for Migako's case, they should not have been discovered.

Could it be that Miagako not only told me, but also told Yukihime?

Zhihuang frowned, unable to think of a precise answer, so he could only guess like this.

Looking at Xing Ji's peaceful sleeping face, there was no trace of pity on his face. He turned around and went to get the gasoline barrel hidden in the secret compartment under the magic circle carpet.

Sometimes, in order to prevent his dog from running around and being discovered, he would lock the dog underneath.

He lifted up the carpet of the magic circle, opened the secret compartment, and saw the gasoline barrel below.

But just as he stretched out his hand to lift the oil barrel, the light oil barrel made his strength go nowhere, and his whole body fell to the ground.

"Um?"

He stared blankly at the oil drum that he could lift with two fingers. It was obviously empty.

At this moment, a young voice sounded from the door of the wooden house behind him.

"It seems you are really hopeless..."

Zhihuang's back felt like being pricked by needles, and a chill rushed from his back to his forehead.

His eyes widened in surprise, and then he quickly turned around and looked behind him.

I saw two figures, one tall and one short, standing at the door of the wooden house. Among them, the tall young man had his hands in his pockets, and the short one wore slightly reflective glasses on his face.

He immediately recognized that this was actually the child accompanying the two famous detectives!

When did they come?

Unlike Chiko's shocked and frightened faces, Conan and Hattori Heiji's mouths were filled with confident smiles.

"Are you surprised?"

"We are not surprised to see you here..."

In fact, Conan and Hattori Heiji agreed before going to bed at night to continue looking for clues.

The methods of the entire case and the identity of the murderer were almost figured out through Qin Zhibo's reminder and their own thinking.

All that's left is to lock in the evidence, that is, to find the most critical "magic dog."

At night, the murderer is likely to relax his vigilance, which is a good time for them to come back to the cabin to kill again.

So, the two gay friends sneaked out and searched around the cabin.

But this time they didn't find the "magic dog", but they found the gasoline barrel hidden under the floor.

Putting the gasoline barrel in the dog house means that the murderer planned to burn the cabin and the "magic dog" together, so there would be no evidence to prove his death.

So, the two simply squatted nearby and waited for the prisoner to come.

As a result, not only Chiko but also Yukihime were waiting.

Judging from the conversation between the two, Yukihime also guessed that the murderer was Chiko.

It's just that Yukihime is kind-hearted and wants to give him a chance to surrender.

But Zhihuang is a "madman" and cannot seize the opportunity, and even destroys the body and eliminates traces.

"you……"

The shock on Zhihuang's face returned a little, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

Seeing this, Conan glanced at Hattori Heiji. According to the usual practice, when the two gay friends are together at the same time, Hattori Heiji will be the main output force.

So, Hattori Heiji spoke with an Osaka accent.

"Actually, your initial tactics did shock us a bit..."

"Use strips of cloth and red lights to create a burning flame effect on the dog's body, just like the virtual flames on a TV quiz show."

"You can also open the gas port of the lighter, connect it with piano wire, and tie a burning charcoal block to the dog, so that the lighter on the path can be ignited to create the effect of flame footprints..."

"As for recycling, you should have trained the dog to leave by holding the ring at the end of the piano wire."

"But your biggest failure is that you took the initiative to act like you were attacked by a 'devil dog' in front of us..."

"Demon dogs cannot exist!"

"From that moment on, you have admitted that you are the murderer!"

This powerful line of reasoning made Zhihuang's eyes slowly widen.
