Chapter 708 - 1211 Feichi: Premonition of Increased Provisions

By night, there was an answer to the Matter.

Just as they were eating Dinner, Mori Kogoro received a Phone Call.

"Hello, this is Mori... What?" Mori Kogoro listened in surprise, his Expression becoming Serious. "You Say Musashi... Okay, I understand. I'll be there right away."

Chi Feichei Looked at the Dishes just placed on the Table.

Good thing he had a late Lunch.

"Father, What's Wrong with Musashi?" Mouri Ran asked quickly.

"I heard Musashi Attacked Mrs. Nakaya Yoriko's Grandmother, the Client from this Afternoon," Mori Kogoro said with Sweat, "and even Bit her to Death."

Dinner was definitely off the table.

Mouri Ran and Conan insisted on going with Mori Kogoro to Check the Situation, and it was impossible for Chi Feichei to stay at the Office to eat alone, so they moved out collectively.

Since Chi Feichei wasn't driving today, A Group of People took a Taxi and rushed to 4-chome.

Police Cars and Ambulances had already arrived. The Police were surveying the Crime Scene, and the Corpse had already been taken away.

Inspector Megure, who was leading the Police, Saw A Group of People and Stepped Forward to Greet them. "Brother Mouri, you're here... Oh, Brother Chi, you're here too!"

"Inspector Megure, What exactly is the Situation?" Mori Kogoro asked seriously as he walked towards the Tsutsumi Residence.

"Mrs. Nakaya's Grandmother has passed away," Inspector Megure's Expression also became Serious. "Mrs. Nakaya sprained her Foot, and the Doctor is treating her at the Tsutsumi Residence. The Tsutsumi couple are with her, and the Dog has been Subdued."

Mouri Ran said in a low voice, "But, Why would Musashi Attack people?"

A Group of People entered the Door. Tsutsumi Eisuke and his Wife Looked up and Saw Chi Feichei, Mouri Ran, and Conan, whom they had met during the Daytime, with surprised Expressions.

"The Reason for its Attack on people is still unclear," Inspector Megure led the way to the Sofa in the Living Room and Looked at the Tsutsumi couple. "However, Musashi's Saliva was indeed detected on the Wound on the Deceased's Neck."

Tsutsumi Eisuke's Wife couldn't bother to Ask Why Chi Feichei and Mouri Ran were here, and lowered her Head in despair. "How could this happen?"

"Mrs. Nakaya," Inspector Megure Looked at Nakaya Yoriko, who had gone to the Mori Detective Agency this Afternoon. "Could you tell us in detail the Events?"

"Okay..."

Nakaya Yoriko told the Events.

Her Grandmother, who came to her Home at Night, changed her Clothes and wore her Sweater. She took it and went with the Clothes at Home. When she was drying the Clothes on the Second Floor Balcony, she accidentally dropped her Husband's Shirt in the Courtyard of the Next Door Tsutsumi Residence, and no one was at the Next Door Home.

She was afraid of Musashi, But her Grandmother insisted on picking up the Clothes, and Said that Musashi grew up watching her and nothing would happen.

So she took her Grandmother's Spare Walking Stick for Defense and Followed her to the Fence. She Saw Musashi suddenly pounce on her Grandmother when she was picking up the Shirt, knocking her Grandmother down and Biting her Grandmother's Throat.

She hurriedly Stepped Forward to drive Musashi away with the Walking Stick, But Musashi roared at her. She was So Scared that she used the Snap Pop in her Pocket to Scare Musashi away. When she ran backwards, she sprained her Foot in front of the Fence and could only wave the Walking Stick to Scare Musashi. Fortunately, the Tsutsumi couple came Home at This Time...

"Yes," Tsutsumi Eisuke Confirm to Inspector Megure, "We were Originally going to come back late Because we were attending a Banquet tonight, But my Wife felt unwell in the middle of the Banquet, so we came back earlier than scheduled."

"I also saved my life Because of this," Nakaya Yoriko Said.

"Um... May I Ask you something?" Wataru Takagi held a Handbook and lowered his Head to Use Pen to Record. "Why did Mrs. Nakaya bring Snap Pops with her?"

"It's Because I'm very afraid of being Attacked by Musashi. I always carry them with me," Nakaya Yoriko took out the remaining Snap Pops from her Pocket and Looked at Mori Kogoro. "I went to the Mori Detective Agency this Afternoon to seek Mr. Mouri's help Because of this Matter."

Mori Kogoro felt a little guilty and ashamed, so he could only Scratch Head with a dry Smile and Confirm to Inspector Megure who Looked over, "Yes, yes."

Inspector Megure took out a Handkerchief and placed it on his Hand, Reaching Out to Nakaya Yoriko. "Please hand over the Snap Pops to me."

"Okay." Nakaya Yoriko put the Snap Pops on the Handkerchief.

Chi Feichei Looked at Wataru Takagi and Spoke Out to Ask, "How many Wounds are there on the Deceased's body?"

"Ah?" Wataru Takagi was Stunned, then lowered his Head and Looked at the Notes. "There's only one, on the Neck..."

Inspector Megure also Sensed something was Wrong. "Brother Chi, will a Dog Bite a person's Neck in one Bite?"

Sato Miwako recalled, "The people I've heard of being Bitten are usually Bitten on the Feet or Legs..."

"It must be Because my Grandmother was knocked down by it," Nakaya Yoriko's Expression was determined and indignant. "My Grandmother wore my Wool Sweater tonight. She must have been mistaken for me, that's Why she was Attacked!"

While A Group of People were Discussing how to Handle the Follow-up, Chi Feichei moved and left the Inside the Room.

Feichi poked its Head out from Chi Feichei's Collar and Said in a low voice, "Master, I Think Musashi has a good Personality. It doesn't Seem like a Dog that would Bite people."

Chi Feichei 'Uh-huh'ed and didn't Say his Suspicion.

Although he Thought there was a Problem with Nakaya Yoriko, there was currently no Basis to indicate that Nakaya Yoriko was the Murderer. Being preconceived was a big taboo, so he should Check the Crime Scene first.

Once Seeing this, Conan also quietly Followed him Out the Door.

In the Tsutsumi Residence's Courtyard, the Police were still surveying the Crime Scene.

The Location where the Deceased fell was very close to the Living Room Door. There were Trace Outline left on the Ground. There was a pool of dried, dark brown Blood Stain near the Neck and Head, and a Walking Stick and a Shirt were dropped Next to it.

The Place where Nakaya Yoriko fell was Next to the Wooden Door in front of the Fence on one side of the Courtyard. There were a few Bloodstain of different sizes on the floor tiles.

Conan Followed Chi Feichei to the Bloodstain, Looked down and Looked, and muttered in Doubt, "Weird, there are no Wounds on Mrs. Nakaya's body that would Bleed. This Should be her Grandmother's Blood, But..."

Chi Feichei Turned Head to Look at the Place where the Deceased fell, which was four or five meters away from the Place where the Deceased fell.

Conan also Turned Around to Look in the Direction of the Trace Outline. "Is it Because it was stained on the Spare Walking Stick that Mrs. Nakaya was holding and brought over?"

Chi Feichei withdrew his Line of Sight, Squatted down, and Looked at the Bloodstain that was also circled by the Trace Outline in front of him.

Spattered Bloodstain are shaped like slender tadpoles. The Blood on the floor tiles was in the shape of a Circle. There were small Bloodstain Next to the big Circle, which meant that these Bloodstain were Fallen.

If it was Blood stained on the Spare Walking Stick in Nakaya Yoriko's Hand, there would be no Blood at all on the way Nakaya Yoriko came over, and According to what Nakaya Yoriko Said, she was being chased by Musashi at the Time and waved the Walking Stick to Scare Musashi. If there was Blood on the Walking Stick, when she ran to this Place in a hurry, the Bloodstain Should have been thrown around Due To running, and it was impossible for there to be only Fallen Circle Bloodstain nearby. There Should also be Bloodstain similar to spattered Bloodstain left when waving the Walking Stick.

In Other Words, the Blood may have been brought by Nakaya Yoriko, But it would not be something like a Walking Stick where Blood could flow directly to the bottom. There Should be a depression, so no Blood would be left on the way.

The size of the Bloodstain is irregular. In general, there are two pools. The big Bloodstain is towards the Deceased's Direction, and the small Bloodstain is towards the Shrubbery by the Fence...

After Chi Feichei Squatted down, Feichi crawled out of his Collar, crawled down Chi Feichei's Arm and back to the Ground, and crawled into the Shrubbery. "Master, there Seemingly is something inside!"

"Feichi!" Conan Turned Head and Saw Feichi crawling into the Shrubbery. He was a little anxious. He went around the Bloodstain and prepared to catch Feichi. "Don't run around... Hey?"

Feichi came out of the Shrubbery, with a bloody Dog Teeth Clay Mold wrapped around its Tail. It propped up its upper body, its dark Eyes flashing with Coldness under the Lamplight, But its Tone was unusually expectant. "Master, I have a Premonition that my Spare Food is going to increase again!"

Chi Feichei stood up behind Conan and Nod to Feichi.

He also Thought that Feichi's Provisions were going to increase again.

But in the past, he was the one who overturned the Table. He didn't Expect that This Time Feichi overturned the Table.

If a Model was used, then these two Strange Bloodstain could be explained—

The Deceased did not die from Musashi's Mouth, But was Attacked and killed with a Dog Teeth Model.

Afterwards, the Murderer ran to this Place and threw the Model into the Shrubbery.

Since the Model had a depression, and the Murderer Should have been holding the Model in his arms Before, no Blood dripped on the road.

When he arrived here, the Murderer took out the Model in front of the Fence and threw it into the Shrubbery Next to him. The Blood dripped during This Period. Because there was not too much Blood on the Model, and it dripped a little at the beginning and then less, it would appear that the Bloodstain was large towards the Corpse's Direction and small towards the Shrubbery.

When the Model was thrown into the Shrubbery, Because the Blood that could drip from itself had almost dripped, there were no spattered Bloodstain that were thrown out.

In this case, it was obvious who the Murderer was.

It was Nakaya Yoriko, who was present at the Time, Lied that her Grandmother was Attacked by Musashi, and then sprained her Foot and fell here.

As For Why Nakaya Yoriko would Throw the Model in a Place that was So Easy for the Police to Search, it was Probably Because she sprained her Foot, Musashi was chasing after her, and the Tsutsumi couple came Home early at This Time.

Conan was Stunned for a moment before he came back to his Senses, Turned Head to Look at Chi Feichei. "Brother Chi, does this count as Case Solving?"

"What do You Say?" Chi Feichei Turned Around and walked towards the Living Room of the Tsutsumi Residence. "I'll Call Inspector Megure and the others over."

After being Speechless, Conan didn't Follow him and Decided to squat here, squatting Next to Feichi, and took out a Handkerchief to put in his Hand, Reaching Out to Feichi. "Okay, Feichi, give me the Things."

Feichi wrapped the Dog Teeth Model with its Tail and moved backwards. "Why? I can also hand it over to Inspector Megure."

Once Seeing that Feichi was unwilling to give it to him, Conan continued to Reach Out and coaxed patiently, "I know you discovered it, But this is a very Important thing, you can't break it, so let me keep it!"

Feichi moved back a little more. "You're looking down on me!"

"You're not a Puppy, are you still guarding your Food?" Conan didn't know whether to Laugh or cry, But he didn't dare to Reach Out to snatch it.

As far as he knew, not only Dogs, But many Animals would attribute some Things to 'mine'. At This Time, if other Creatures showed the Intention of 'snatching', the Animal would Attack.

He was someone who had been Bitten by Feichi, and knew how Fast Feichi's Bite Speed was. It was almost as Fast as Lightning. Before people could React, they had already been Bitten.

In this case, he remembered Officer Gong Zhang from the Fire Department Before, wasn't it Because he Thought the little Red Horse (toy) Keychain that Feichi had taken a fancy to was Criminal Evidence and wanted to take it away, so he was Bitten several times by Feichi...

Uh, if Feichi is unwilling to give them the Things tonight, then it will be really difficult. We can only See if Chi Feichei has a Method.

"Brother Chi, What Important Things did Feichi discover in the Shrubbery that he had to Call us all over?" Inspector Megure led the others and Followed Chi Feichei to the Courtyard.
