Conan: Another Famous Detective

In the sea of ​​​​fire, a huge beast slowly came into view.

Under the firelight, the beast had a ferocious face, sharp claws, and most importantly...

"How could...how could there be such a huge creature?" Hattori asked in surprise.

The reason why it is said to be huge is because the beast is almost as tall as the entire building!

And the wooden sign Conan saw in the afternoon, which was as tall as a person, had only just reached the feet of the beast.

"Asshole! How could such a thing exist in this world!" Hattori muttered.

"It should be similar to that kind of special photography drama, right?" Yu Gongming suddenly said.

"Special photography?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Akira Hanomiya lowered his head and looked at Conan: "This Conan should be familiar. After all, you often go to see Godzilla movies with the little guys from the Young Detective Team."

Conan heard this, his heart moved, and he looked forward: "You mean...by using the size ratio of the model and the monster, and matching the distance and angle of the camera, you can create a visual experience of the monster being very large?"

While speaking, the weird beast suddenly lowered its head, took the warning sign into its mouth, twisted around, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

The harsh sound in his ears stopped suddenly at this time.

"Don't run!" Hattori yelled and rushed towards the direction where the ancient monster disappeared.

call!

Unfortunately, the raging fire blocked his way!

His face was uncertain, and then he turned to look at everyone: "Everyone! You quickly find something to put out the fire. The sooner the better!"

"What about you, Heiji?" Kazuha asked worriedly.

"Don't ask such stupid questions! Of course I'm going to expose the true identity of that monster!" After saying that, Hattori Heiji ran in the other direction, intending to go around the other side of the building, and Conan followed closely behind.

"Eh? Conan, wait!" Xiaolan shouted anxiously when she saw Conan following him.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Yu Gongming said: "Everyone, don't be stunned, put out the fire quickly!"

Everyone came to their senses one after another and took action.

Akira Yumiya stayed where he was for the time being. He needed to verify a conjecture in his mind.

On the other side, Conan and Hattori circled behind the sea of ​​fire.

The two of them frowned at the same time.

"It's strange, we obviously came around from behind, but we didn't encounter that guy?" Hattori Heiji asked doubtfully.

When Conan heard this, he looked deep into the woods, thinking in his mind: "Did it escape into the pool deep in the woods... hmm? Is this... a blood stain?"

On the ground not far from the direction of the woods, Conan saw some suspicious dark red patches, which extended all the way deep into the woods.

"Hattori!" Conan shouted, pointing to the suspected blood stains on the ground.

Hattori turned his eyes and immediately understood what Conan meant.

The two of them followed the direction of the patch and headed deeper into the woods.

After a moment, the two stopped at the same time.

Their faces were a little ugly, and they looked ahead solemnly.

Hattori stared at the figure lying on the ground in front of him: "This is... Mr. Somechi? Has he fainted?"

Conan squatted down, checked, and said with a heavy face: "Unfortunately, he has died, and..."

Conan pointed at Randi's back: "He still has scary claw marks on his body, as if he had been attacked by a wild beast!"

Hattori Heiji stared at the claw marks with exaggerated intervals, and his pupils suddenly shrank!

…………

Conan and Hattori returned to the hotel and met everyone.

"You mean Mr. Randi passed away?" Xiaolan asked in disbelief.

"Yes! He was killed in the bushes near the pond next to the hotel. He also had deep claw marks on his back. This should be the fatal injury."

"You...the claw marks you are talking about are not the kind that look like tiger scratches, right?" Zeng Zi Shi Hui asked with a somewhat uneasy expression.

"Yeah! It's a little bigger than a tiger's claw marks. It's four claw marks about ten centimeters apart." Conan nodded.

"Ten centimeters! Are you kidding me?" Zeng Zi Shi Hui looked unbelieving.

Conan's mouth twitched and he thought, who would want to joke with you?

"It's Nue!" Tsurumi's expression was horrified with a hint of excitement: "He must have been killed by that demon. Legend has it that Nue has limbs like a tiger!"

"Hmph! I thought it was an urn, but I didn't expect a monster to appear!" Danze Daiki said with an unhappy expression.

"What do you mean?" Hattori frowned slightly, and many people looked over.

Danzawa Michiki was stunned for a moment, then quickly said: "Nothing, nothing! I was just talking to myself!"

However, such a perfunctory answer obviously failed to fool Hattori. Both he and Conan looked thoughtful.

As soon as his thoughts changed, Hattori asked: "Have you called the police yet?"

"The police have been called." Meng Yu nodded: "But because this is a deep mountain, the police can't come right away."

"But I'm afraid it won't be of any use if the police come, right?" He Ye was a little hesitant: "After all, that is the legendary monster!"

"If that is really Nue, then it will keep pace with the times." Yu Gongming said with a smile.

"Oh? What did you find, Hanomiya?" Hattori heard what Hanomiya Akira meant.

Akira Hanamiya showed something to everyone with his gloved hands.

"Huh? Cell phone?" Hattori asked in surprise.

"Yes! After the strange sound appeared before, I was looking for the location of the sound, and finally found this mobile phone in the nearby trees. What's even more interesting is..."

Yu Gongming pressed a few buttons on his phone, and the next moment...

Woo——

The harsh sound reached everyone's ears.

"Is... is it Nue's cry!?" He Ye exclaimed.

Yu Gongming pressed the pause button and said with a smile: "Yes! Do you think this monster knows how to keep pace with the times? He even learned to use a mobile phone!"

"Eh!?" He Ye looked at the phone, a little confused for a moment.

Xiaolan looked thoughtful and said: "So, Nue's scream was made using a mobile phone, so the monster we saw..."

"That's right!" Conan turned to look at Xiaolan and said with an extremely certain tone: "That must have been done using some kind of trick!"

"There is one more thing that can be proved." Hattori said calmly: "There is still a smell of kerosene in the place where the fire burned. This fire must have been started by someone using kerosene!"

"But, didn't you say that there were very exaggerated claw marks on the corpse?" Tsurumi asked hesitantly.

Hattori spoke eloquently: "I think Mr. Somechi was stabbed in the back by the prisoner and struggled to escape, but in the end he died of exhaustion. The prisoner made a long and narrow gash on the original wound and added three more. The wound gave the impression that he was attacked by Nue."

Hattori's eyes changed: "The only one who can do this...should be the village chief who invited us here, right?"
