"Is it really that big?" With a surprised tone, Qian Yu asked the old man who walked in front of him.

Saga Matazaburo, this is the name of the elderly hunter, who has been hunting in the area for more than 10 years, so he is also very familiar with the area, and is considered one of the professional leaders of the local hunters.

"Yes, Jubei is different from other black bears, and it is very large to the point of exaggeration, which can almost be called incredible for a Japanese black bear, especially a female black bear." The old hunter nodded and looked into the jungle ahead. "It's a behemoth that's more than 2.5 meters long, almost the size of those brown bears in the north. As for weight...... It is also completely at the level of a male brown bear, and although no one has been able to catch it, 200 kilograms should be a base figure. ”

200 kg ...... This is completely beyond the scope of what humans can fight, let alone being a child. From this point of view, it is better to be cautious in this forest, and if possible, it is best to follow the old hunter beside you as much as possible.

"But didn't your parents come with you?" The old hunter asked. "Why are you just a little kid......"

Qian Yu's gaze dodged for a moment, and then stared at the shotgun on the old hunter's back and thought for a moment, but he didn't give an answer for a long time.

"Because my companion is lost." After a few moments, Qian Yu answered the old hunter's question directly.

"Companion?" The hunter turned his head, his face full of unease. "Little kids like you came in too?"

"Hmm," Chiba replied perfunctorily, assigning part of the monitoring of the auxiliary unit to the old hunter - if he wanted to take the gun off his back, he would have to do it with his hands, and he would not be defenseless at that time. "It's a tea-haired girl, and a boy, we came in together."

[If nothing else, I should have accidentally gotten on the thief ship......] Qian Yu sighed in his heart.

There was no other reason, because most of the people who shot just now were this old man—Chiba's auxiliary unit made it clear that the gun on the old man's body had just been fired. In other words, the maker of the shooting that caused Gray Yuan to throw his mobile phone on the ground just now should be this old man. And this also means that this old gentleman is obviously not a good person.

But even so, Qian Yu can't escape halfway - and regardless of whether the other party will realize that he and the children who shot and attacked just now are all the way, even if he can escape, he can be regarded as completely abandoning the gray plain mourning them: they are not familiar with this place, and if Qian Yu does not find them, they may eventually lose their way here completely.

The old man was very familiar with the forest and had ill intentions towards them, so the old man's plan must have been to use his own rich experience to find the Gray Plains and them, and then shoot them (and maybe Chiha) on the spot, and finally take advantage of the desolate nature of the forest to hide the corpses.

And at this time, Qian Yu only needs to subdue the old man with a traceless umbrella - at this distance, Qian Yu, who has the blessing of the auxiliary unit, is quite sure that he will be able to defeat the old man with a gun, because the fabric of the traceless umbrella is enough to resist the shotgun's close-range fire.

With this in mind, Qianyu will take the initiative to tell the old hunter his identity, so that the other party will realize that it is a better plan to let the living Qianyu go with him instead of directly killing him - the old hunter knows very well that taking this child may allow the hidden gray plain to mourn and try to rescue him at the expense of revealing his hiding location, and eventually increase the success rate of the old hunter discovering them.

"By the way, old man, did you catch any prey today?" Qian Yu suddenly asked.

"I caught a little rabbit in the morning, and then it's gone." The old man replied casually. "Oh, I just saw a bigger one before I met you, but it didn't hit - it's a little farther away, so it's not that sure."

"So, can you show me your bullets, old man?" Qian Yu asked again. "I've always heard that when hunting, you use a very special bullet to shoot bullets into the body of your prey and kill them, right?"

"Yes, it's best to use a single-headed bullet to hit the mouth and something like that at one time, and the lungs are also a good place to hit and have a good effect." The old man complied, took out a one-headed bullet from his pocket, and threw it to Qianyu. "Look, it looks like this."

"Hmm......" held the one-headed bullet, and Qian Yu carefully studied the form of the one-headed bullet.

Unlike a normal single-headed bullet, the plastic casing wrapped around the outside of this bullet appears to be composed of two lobes, and it is not very hard. In addition, this bullet is different from a normal cylindrical single-headed bullet, and the shape of the top is closer to the pointed tip of a rifle.

[Sabot-style warhead, pointed, number 12.] After identifying whether the warhead was a one-headed bullet or a Foster, Brenneke, or Sabot, Chiba immediately sent a message to Conan via text message.

[We found a dead bear cub and a shot hunter next to a bush. According to the results of the on-site inspection, it was Sabot No. 12 who shot the hunter, but it was the deer bullet that shot the bear, which was a bullet from the gun carried by the hunter who was shot (author: a shotgun with about 10 projectiles inside)] - Conan

"......" Qian Yu frowned slightly. Because if this is the case, it can be deduced that the hunter who was shot shot shot the bear, and the old hunter may be ...... Killed this hunter.

As for it?

If that's the case, then Chiba really has a hard time understanding what happened - the only possibility that comes to his mind now is that the dead hunter hunted the bear, and the old hunter killed the hunter for the credit.

But if that's the case, there are things that can't be explained.

First of all, what credit can a bear have? It is a bit unbelievable for an old hunter to kill a living person because of such a thing.

Secondly, if the bear cub was important, why did the old man just leave the bear in its place at the end?

And at this time, an updated text message made Qian Yu even more confused about what was going on.

[The bear is strangled by a rope that has been broken at the end, but the rope appears to have been broken by a bullet.] These things are a bit confusing, give me some time, and you can continue dragging with the old hunter for now. —Conan
