At first, Qin Zhibo thought it was the story told by Yukihime - the head of the Inubushi family in the Meiji period accidentally killed his loyal dog and died in a fire.

But now it seems that the story told by the old man and the story told by Xing Ji are probably not the same version.

Because the old man mentioned "catching up".

Overtaken, most likely refers to being overtaken by the hounds of Tindalos.

Judging from the antiquity of the book Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Scripture itself, it is likely that this book was the property of the Inubushi family in the past.

So what exactly is the "legend" in the old man's mouth?

Qin Zhibo's intuition tells him that this is very likely to allow him to solve all the mysteries...

Judging from the old man walking alone on the mountain road with a crutch, his home should be nearby, not far from Inufushi Castle.

Qin Zhibo took out the [Mountain Bike] from the system toolbar, sat down on the seat, and then began to cast the finding spell.

During the day, the old man's iconic face, like a dead tree, was still vivid in his mind.

Qin Zhibo's mind moved slightly, and a clear direction appeared in his mind.

He opened his eyes suddenly, turned the front of the car and rode firmly in that direction.

…

Half an hour later, a small house in the woods near the foot of the mountain appeared in front of us.

Compared with the grandeur and luxury of Inubushi City, this house is not much better than the cabin on the edge of the swamp. It is like being exiled.

The house lights are off.

But that's natural, after all, it's almost two o'clock in the middle of the night.

Qin Zhibo parked his bicycle, walked to the door of the room and knocked gently.

Tuk, Tuk, Tuk...

After knocking more than ten times in a row, the windows of the house lit up, and at the same time an old voice came.

"Who is it... in the middle of the night?"

Qin Zhibo responded quickly, "I'm sorry to disturb your rest. I went to Inufucheng during the day. We met on the road..."

"Can you please open the door now? I want to know something from you."

Qin Zhibo's tone was very polite and he also used honorifics.

The old man in the room paused and asked: "What? Another person died in the Inufu family?"

"You guessed it right, someone is indeed dead..."

Seeing that the old man was becoming interested, Qin Zhibo took advantage of the situation and pursued him, "So I would like to ask you about the legend about the curse of the devil dog in Inufucheng that you mentioned during the day."

"That's right..."

The old man hesitated for a moment, then moved to the door and opened it.

He looked up at Qin Zhibo and murmured: "It's rare for a young person to want to listen to an old man like me, come in..."

"Thanks."

Qin Zhibo followed the old man into the room and closed the door behind him.

…

In Quanfu City, the lights gradually went out.

After a whole night of investigating the case, although the murderer has not yet been found, I still need to sleep when I feel like it.

Inubushi's house is large enough to accommodate everyone.

Yamamura Soo didn't want to stay overnight in a mansion infested by demon dogs, so he drove back in a police car.

Mao Lilan, Yuanshan and Ye were also afraid of the devil dog, so they insisted that they all sleep together in the Datong bunkhouse, so that they could feel more at ease.

But despite this, after having the experience of directly attacking the devil dog, Mao Lilan, who has only 40 willpower, is still too scared to sleep.

It's as if there is a demon dog appearing outside the thin sliding door of the guest room at all times.

What's even more unfortunate is that the more you dare not go out, the worse your health will be.

"He Ye, He Ye..."

Mao Lilan gently pushed Yuan Shanhe Ye in the shop next to her.

Yuan Shan and Ye were a little bolder than Mao Lilan and had already fallen asleep for most of the time.

She looked at her best friend sleepily, "Xiaolan, what's wrong?"

"Um..." Mao Lilan showed a look of embarrassment, "Can you accompany me to the toilet?"

"OK."

Kazuha didn't complain. Just as he was about to get up, Mouri Kogoro on the other side complained in a rough voice.

"Really, you're not a child, you don't dare to go to the toilet alone?"

The two girls looked at Mouri Kogoro and were surprised to find that Mouri Kogoro was not sleeping either. He was resting his head on his arms and seemed to be resting with his eyes closed.

Mao Lilan's face turned red and she quickly explained: "But we were just attacked by a demon dog in this yard..."

"Yeah, maybe the devil dog will appear in the house, and I'm so scared just thinking about it." Yuan Shan and Ye also explained to Mao Lilan, "And by the way, uncle, aren't you still awake?"

Upon hearing this, Mouri Kogoro opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling, choosing not to talk.

Of course, he himself is not afraid of the devil dog, because he firmly believes that any evil will eventually be brought to justice.

However, the appearance of the demon dog in the mansion, and the fact that Mao Lilan, Toyama and Ye were the ones who picked the dogs to feed, still left him frightened.

In order to prevent the murderer from committing crimes again at night, he chose to stay vigil.

Except when he is unreliable, Moori Kogoro is still a reliable adult.

"Well~ you still care a little about the case..."

Mouri Kogoro hesitated and then turned to look at the two beds on the other side.

Those are the beds of Hattori Heiji and Conan respectively.

Both of them had their bodies hidden on their backs, but these voices did not wake them up. They seemed to be sleeping soundly.

"On the other hand, the four-eyed kid and Detective Osaka were not affected at all and were sleeping soundly..."

"Of course..." Mao Lilan explained for her old father, "They seem to already know who the murderer is..."

When Mouri Kogoro heard this, his body stood up as if he was electrified.

"What!"

"Do they know who the murderer is?"

"Do they already know who among these adopted children is the murderer?"

Mouri Kogoro repeated it again in disbelief.

Because this case, even Qin Zhibo, who had always been far ahead of others in solving the case, did not say anything.

Just those two brats?

Toyama and Ye nodded, "Yes, Heiji also said that the quiz show I showed him helped him a lot."

"Question show?"

"What kind of quiz show is this!"

Mouri Kogoro, who also wanted to solve the case quickly, anxiously asked Toyama and Ye.
