When the car stopped at the fork in the road, the flashlight light came on. Gao Cheng followed the service department and noticed the road sign that had been pushed down. It said "dog Fu Jia" and pointed out the direction.


    "It''s not just this signpost," mountain village Cao was particularly excited because of his participation in the investigation. "The warning sign in front of him has also been pulled out, and the rope on the edge of the cliff seems to have been cut."


    Although he has always respected the sleeping Kogoro, it''s good to be an assistant for Gao Cheng. He came here specially to show that his ability has been recognized.


    Maybe he can perform well this time, and he won''t lose to a famous detective


    "It''s true."


    Gao Cheng has been playing a flashlight to the edge of the cliff. It''s not just the warning sign of the cliff. Only one section of the rope is cut.


    Looking down, right below is the tomb of the so-called magic dog.


    "Right," the mountain village hold said excitedly, "this kind of black place, without road signs, warning signs and ropes, can easily fall down if it is chased by the fire devil dog again..."


    Gao Cheng raised his eyebrows and looked at the mountain village exercises.


    This guy is just a driver. He''s so excited


    "How could there be a magic dog? The killer probably took advantage of the legend of the magic dog and the burning footprints. It''s normal for people to make mistakes in panic. It''s a typical psychological trap. At least the living people haven''t seen the magic dog with their own eyes, right


    Gao Cheng squatted down and flashed a flashlight around him, saying, "just look at it. It seems that the killer specially sprayed herbicides to make the grass wither and light it easily... If you think about it carefully, there are many restrictions on the techniques of criminals, right? They have used the same killing techniques twice."


    "The problem is the technique of burning footprints," Conan said, striking aside. "It still can''t be solved."


    "In that case, how about finding out the dog?" Gao Cheng looked out of the cliff and said, "no matter how well-trained the dog is, the range of activities can''t be too far away. Except here is the pond where Meizi was killed. If you know these two places, you can probably try to find them."


    "Looking for the dog?"


    The village is confused this time.


    This mountain is not small. How can we find a dog who doesn''t know where it is


    "The key is to know the location of another crime scene," Gao Cheng took the lead and went back to the car. "Officer Shancun, let''s go now."


    "Well," he said awkwardly, "but I don''t know how to get there. I was led by the dog Fu family last time..."


    “……”


    At goufu''s castle, people gathered in the yard again. Because of the time constraint, dinner could only be postponed temporarily. Goufu Xingji even wore an apron.


    "Looking for the magic dog?"


    "Yes," Gao Cheng nodded, "the prisoner should keep the magic dog somewhere in the forest, so we need to know the location of the pond where Meizi was killed."


    The dog Fu family looked at each other: "can we find it like this? And it''s a magic dog... "


    Gao Cheng grabs his hair. Of course, he can''t guarantee that he will find it, but it''s better to find it than not.


    "It''s just an ordinary dog. Two crime scenes, plus the location of dog Fu''s home, make two intersecting circles passing through here, which can roughly have a range. I don''t think it''s particularly difficult to find. If you take Xiao BA with you..."


    "Well," said the middle-aged doctor dog Fu Zhihuang hesitantly, "if it''s a dog, Meizi asked me to see it before. There''s a cabin with strange barking, but I''m too afraid to go in..."


    "What?" The clothing department, who didn''t make much noise, rushed to dog Fu Zhihuang and asked, "where''s the cabin?"


    Dog Fu Zhihuang was startled and replied: "it''s near the pond where Meizi drowned..."


    "Take us now!" Not only the service department, but also Conan got up in a hurry and urged Fu Zhihuang, "there should be the secret of magic dog mechanism in that hut!"


    "Now?" Dog Fu Zhihuang was afraid and said, "but, I have to go back to the hospital on duty tonight, and Meizi took me there at that time. I don''t know where the pond is..."


    Dog Fu Xingji summoned up the courage to stand up and said: "I can lead the way to that pond. I am very familiar with the forest over there. It''s not far from here!"


    "Then trouble you!"


    Gao Cheng followed him silently, frowning slightly.


    The two of them are also very concerned about the mystery of magic dog. They are even more eager to solve the case than him, but I''m afraid it''s not so simple.


    He has been observing the remaining four dog foster children, and feels that the prisoner is more difficult to deal with than he thought.


    If the prisoner knew that a detective would come at the beginning, he could not prepare too much, especially if he only came last week.


    "What''s the matter, detective Edo?" Dog Fu Xingji out of his small motorcycle, put on the helmet, surprised to find Gao Cheng standing beside the car in a daze.


    "Nothing," Gao Cheng asked, looking at the dog Fu Xingji, who was dressed the same as when he reminded him of the danger of the cliff last time. "Is there anyone else familiar with the forest around here?"


    "In addition to me," goufu Xingji thought carefully, "Meizi should be familiar with, but other people are similar, only Zuoji often get lost." At night, the weather was not very good. She rode a small motorcycle to lead the way and arrived at the pond where the second incident happened one after another with Gao Cheng''s car. When you stop on the dam, Gao Cheng has seen a small pond on the left. The flashlight light sweeps around the small pond surrounded by water and grass, and you can see signs of being burned everywhere. But it''s difficult to investigate like the cliff“ That''s it Dog fuzhihuang nervously raised his flashlight to the woods on the other side of the pond, "that''s the shabby hut!" A few people from the service department looked along and saw a small wooden house“ Well, let''s go and have a look, "said the mountain village guard nervously and excitedly as he walked down the dam." let''s go to the Devil Dog''s nest! "“ Be careful at your feet, "goufu Xingji reminded anxiously," the pond is very deep. If you fall down, you will be in trouble... "" it''s OK, "the service department followed and went around the pond," we only have city dwellers who can''t swim... "Then the service department looked back at goufu Zhihuang, who was huddled by the car and said strangely," don''t you go there? "“ How, how is it possible to go? " Dog Fu Zhihuang wiped his sweat and said, "I''ll wait for you in the car..." "I''m so timid." the service department is too lazy to take care of this uncle. Anyway, it''s safe to stay in the car, so he turned to Gao Cheng and said, "hurry up, I''m starving. I''ll solve the case early and go back to eat early... Don''t fall into the pond."“ You don''t have to say The cabin is not far from the dam. It''s built in the open space beside the woods. Gao Cheng carefully follows him around the pond and enters the cabin with a flashlight to check. There are traces of people moving in the old wooden house. The table is also full of books about black magic. Even the ground is painted with magic circles. Conan finds the dog food jar and the feeding plate“ It seems certain that someone has a dog here. " Conan confirmed“ The problem is the magic dog''s mechanism. "The Ministry of clothing is full of black lines." I don''t believe in the curse of black magic and so on... "Gao Cheng also looked through several books of black magic, ignored the alarmed nonsense of the mountain village, and continued to check every corner of the cabin. There is indeed dog food, but the traces of dog excrement are not normal, and there is no smell. I feel that it has been for some time, and there are no fresh traces of activities... "Ah --!" There was a sudden scream from outside, mixed with a dog barking, which attracted everyone''s attention. Looking out through the window of the wooden house, a burning magic dog chased after the runaway dog and rushed to him like a fire“ Devil, Devil Dog? " Shibu''s face changed greatly. He ran out of the hut and rushed to the dam. Together with Conan, he found the doctor uncle who was knocked down on the other side of the dam. The uncle rolled to the bottom of the dam, and his sleeve had been lit by the fire. He cried out in pain“ Lie still Taking off his coat, he quickly put out the flame, and then checked the condition. Fortunately, he was only a little burned and slightly abraded“ Whoa, it''s all right. "“ There it is The mountain village calisthenics came from behind and looked at the footprints of the fire coming along the dam with a blue face. His tongue trembled: "was it the magic dog just now? There is a curse Different from the previous several times, this time the fire devil dog appeared in front of the public. It didn''t look like Gao Cheng''s psychological trap. The burning magic dog is really burning... "City, city household detective," mountain village Cao turned to Gao Cheng with sweat on his face and stammered in horror, "what do you do now? The opponent is the black magician who can curse the dog. I think it''s still... "There''s no black magic. Sometimes the eyes can deceive people." Gao Cheng saw the injured dog Fu Zhihuang and the burning footprints on the ground, and squatted down to look at it carefully. There are tiny traces of dragging something on the grass. Besides, the distance and details of the fire are consistent with those on the other side of the cliff. Sure enough, there is a problem. Although he also saw the process of the magic dog attack, it made him more sure of his own judgment. Moreover, if the reasoning is correct... Gao Chengsi looks at the dog who is helped to the car. This doctor uncle should be the killer of this serial homicide.
