Science solves cases? No, I am an immortal cultivator!

"Dong dong~"

Kitagawa Taki opened the door and the person who came in was Mizunashi Rena.

She was wearing a plain white nightgown and her ponytail was down at the back of her head.

"Beichuan, I'm a little scared..."

Kitagawa Taki could tell at a glance that she was not wearing anything underneath.

He made way for Mizunashi Rena to enter the house, but he was wondering what her purpose was.

It's late at night, and you come into a man's room dressed so little, there's no need to say what will happen.

She came right to him like this, but Kitagawa Taki didn't think that she was in love with him. Was she trying to do something?

"I didn't expect you to be afraid of these things." Kitagawa Taki joked, "I was really impressed when you, Reina, dealt with the terrorists on the airship."

"Those are two different things."

Mizuno Rena smiled awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Would you like some wine?"

As he spoke, Kitagawa Taki made a bottle of red wine appear out of thin air in his hand as if by magic.

Then, he took out two high-heeled glasses from the space.

He now has everything in his space.

Mizuno Rena's eyes were burning: "This... is a spell?"

"This is a magic trick." Kitagawa Taki smiled and opened the red wine, pouring some for each of them.

Rena Mizunashi glanced at the name of the red wine. Wine of this price was definitely not prepared by the village chief.

She picked up the wine glass and took a small sip: "How did you do that?"

Beichuan Taki laughed and said, "You can't learn this."

Mizuno Rena said: "I'm just too stupid to learn."

Beichuan Taki chuckled and said, "This is not to be passed on to anyone else."

Mizuno Rena's eyes moved slightly, and just as she was about to say something, there was a hurried knock on the door.

"Beichuan, there's a fire!"

Kitagawa Taki opened the door and saw the anxious Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha outside.

Hattori Heiji yelled, "There's a fire in front of the hotel!"

When Toyama Kazuha saw Rena Mizunoshi wearing a nightgown and the wine on the table, something suddenly came to her mind. A man and a woman alone in a room drinking in the middle of the night, what good could come of it?

Hattori Heiji also saw it, but he was more concerned about the fire now, and was just a little envious of Kitagawa Taki's romantic encounter.

"Let's go." Kitagawa Taki took off his coat and gave it to Mizunashi Rena.

He used his spiritual sense to investigate the fire outside and it was not serious.

When they arrived at the gate, everyone except Ran Di Kangke had already arrived.

But at this time, no one noticed that one person was missing except Kitagawa Taki, who didn't care about the fire at all.

The lawn in front of the hotel on the left side was ablaze with flames.

At this moment, the shrill chirping sound rang out again.

Everyone looked around.

"Nue! That... is the Nue!" Tsurumi Hajime stared at the direction of the fire with a look of horror.

I saw an extremely huge monster slowly walking out from the cover of the hotel.

It has a monkey head but a snake tail, which is particularly eye-catching. It is obviously not appropriate to say that it has the body of a civet cat. It is clearly a tiger's back and a bear's waist.

Yuanshan Heye screamed, obviously frightened.

Rena Mizunashi held her shoulders and stared at the monster in front of her.

Under everyone's horrified gaze, it bit the warning sign that was much taller than Conan, then turned and left.

Hattori Heiji finally reacted and wanted to chase after him, but was blocked by the flames.

"Mr. Village Chief, quickly get the fire extinguisher and put out the fire! Everyone else, help put out the fire! Beichuan and I will go around and take a look!"

After saying that, he ran towards the back of the hotel.

Kitagawa Taki followed him slowly. He saw clearly what happened just now, so he knew that it was impossible for them to find the so-called "Nue".

As expected, when the two of them went around the back of the hotel to the place where the Nue appeared, the Nue had disappeared, and there was only a warning sign on the ground with huge teeth marks on it.

Hattori Heiji looked towards the pond and asked, "Could it have escaped through the woods and into the Black Gold Pond?"

Beichuan Taki laughed and said, "Escape? Why would it escape?"

This reminded Hattori Heiji, the monster was so huge, why did it just bite a warning sign and run away?

"No! Kitagawa, Mr. Somechi is missing!"

Only then did he suddenly remember that he hadn't seen Ran Di Kangke.

Beichuan Taki pointed to a bloodstain on the grass that extended to the edge of the pond: "There is blood on the ground."

"Not good!" Hattori Heiji's face changed.

The two followed the blood trail all the way to the edge of the pool, and what came into their sight was Someji Kangke lying unconscious on the ground.

There was a huge claw mark on his back, and it was bleeding.

Hattori Heiji stepped forward and shook his head, "He's dead."

"Kitagawa, what do you think?" He looked up at Kitagawa Taki.

Beichuan Taki said: "I think this monster is quite particular. He even lifted up his clothes on purpose."

Someji Kangke's shirt was lifted to his chest, and claw marks were left directly on his back.

Hattori Heiji's eyes narrowed. He naturally didn't believe in the monster story, but the scene just happened in front of him, and he was also greatly shocked.

How did the murderer do it?

……

When the two returned to the front of the hotel, the fire had been put out.

"What did you say?"

"Mr. Somechi is dead?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the news brought back by Hattori Heiji and Kitagawa Taki.

Hattori Heiji put his hands in his pockets and said calmly, "He was killed in the bushes beside the Kurokin Pond. There is a deep claw mark on his back."

Zengzi Shihui was surprised and said, "Could it be like the claw marks of a tiger?"

Hattori Heiji said, "It's even bigger than a tiger's, and the gap is about ten centimeters."

Masuko Fumie was incredulous: "Are you kidding me?"

Tsurumi Hajime said excitedly: "That must be Nue. He was killed by this legendary monster."

The white-haired old man, Danze Daogui, snorted coldly and said something incoherent: "I thought it was a jar, but I didn't expect a monster to appear."

Hattori Heiji asked: "What do you mean?"

"Nothing." Danze Daogui obviously didn't want to say more.

Hattori Heiji didn't hesitate for too long. He turned to look at Toyama Kazuha and asked, "Have you called the police?"

Yuanshan and Ye said weakly, "We did report it, but this is deep in the mountains, and the police won't be able to get here in a while. Besides, for a monster like that, even if the police come, it's useless, right?"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but look at Kitagawa Taki.

Beichuan Taki smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, it's not a real monster."

Hattori Heiji agreed: "Kitagawa is right, that was just some trick of the murderer!"

Tsurumi Hajime argued, "Didn't you say there were huge claw marks on Mr. Somechi's back? And everyone saw that huge monster with their own eyes!"

Hattori Heiji said, "Mr. Somechi must have been stabbed in the back by the murderer, and the claw marks appeared after he died."

"As for that huge monster, I still don't understand it for the time being."
