Chapter 297 Provoking the Silver Fox

Professional killer Silver Fox had unexpectedly fallen victim to a primary school student today, and he had even been provoked. Considering his rather impressive knife-throwing skills, he'd completed countless commissions, yet a primary school student was supposed to stop him with just one commission?

Ling Cheng started fighting with Silver Fox, or rather, Ling Cheng made Silver Fox run around in circles, and the child's agility was brought to the extreme.

Although he was not as strong as a well-trained adult, Ling Cheng had the ability to make a great move with a little force, and he showed Silver Fox what it meant to use the opponent's force against him.

Ling Cheng dodged here and there, and Silver Fox threw another knife at him. He didn't know how many he carried on him. Ling Cheng raised his foot and kicked it into the air, causing the knife to lose its balance and then kicked it out, cutting Silver Fox's shoulder.

Silver Fox: "Who are you, kid? Are you in the same industry as me?"

Ling Cheng: "I'm just an elementary school student, how could I be your companion? If you want to repeat elementary school, that's fine."

"you!"

Silver Fox was so angry that he grabbed the knife and rushed towards Ling Cheng. Ling Cheng turned sideways and pressed his hand and kicked him, and ended up kicking the mask off his face.

Ling Cheng: "Wow, your quality is not good."

When his true face was seen, Silver Fox wanted to kill him, but he couldn't beat the brat, so he thought, "As long as you have the green mountains, you will have more hope."

He picked up the mask and rushed towards him again. Ling Cheng dodged it lightly, and then immediately realized his intention to escape. Just as he was about to chase him, a knife flew towards him from somewhere.

The road directly in front of Ling Cheng was not blocked by Silver Fox. There were other people in the mountains. Ling Cheng was sure that this was the person who attacked him before.

It was not only because the knife was the same, but also because Ling Cheng could feel that there was no intention to kill, it was just his own instinct about danger that told him so.

Ling Cheng stopped and squatted down to look at the knife stuck in the soil. This time it was not completely inserted. Ling Cheng took some effort to pull it out.

Ling Cheng played with the knife in his hand. Is this unknown person Silver Fox's helper, or does he have other motives?

Ling Cheng walked out the door and bumped into Conan and the other two who were coming back. Before they could say anything, he heard a scream. It was Ran Mouri's.

Maori Kogoro: "Xiaolan, could it be that the Silver Fox attacked her?"

Ling Cheng recalled the direction in which the silver fox escaped, and it didn't seem to be that direction. Could it be that? Several people ran over immediately.

Fortunately, Xiaolan was safe and sound, and Maori Kogoro breathed a sigh of relief, but when Xiaolan pointed to the other side, she saw Kyoko Saegusa lying on the ground with a knife stuck in her back.

On the other side, the man who had just run over to the river fell to his knees, screaming in fear and crying out who had done it.

"The knife was inserted diagonally from the left."

Conan leaned over to look and said, Maori Kogoro squatted with his chin in his hand, suspecting that it was the Silver Fox who did it again. Ling Cheng also walked over and said to Conan:

"It wasn't the Silver Fox. He just ran in the other direction."

Conan turned around suddenly and looked straight at Ling Cheng with an incredible look on his face. Although they all knew who Silver Fox was, he didn't let him act rashly.

Conan: "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?!"

Ling Cheng spread his hands.

"What can happen to me? He can't beat me. He's just a triangular cat killer."

Conan: ...You monster elementary school student.

Then Kogoro Mouri asked Ran when Sanzhi went out and who he was with. Ran Mouri hesitated and shook her head, saying she didn't know.

Because they all went out separately, they had no idea where Miss Sanzhi went. They just met her on the road.

At this time, Mr. Takanashi asked why the murderer wanted to kill people. Kogoro Mori had to confess to everyone that there was a professional killer among them, who was the murderer of these two murders.

Everyone was shocked, and Nengshi also remembered his previous suspicions.

"Could it be that you are the Maori Kogoro? I was right. You hid it very well."

Ling Cheng smiled but said nothing.

Maori Kogoro told everything. Xiaolan and Chao were worried and asked if it was okay. Ling Cheng shook his head. Maori Kogoro explained:

"This matter can no longer be concealed."

Ling Cheng and Conan looked at each other. This case was not committed by Silver Fox, but Silver Fox was hiding outside, so they had to tell them about it quickly.

Now the most important thing is to find the real murderer. Ling Cheng and Conan surrounded the corpse to find clues, but Maori Kogoro said that he knew who the murderer was.

Based on experience, Uncle Mori was going to eliminate those who were not suspicious. Sure enough, Kogoro Mori identified Nose as the Silver Fox.

Ling Cheng: Thank you, uncle. This novelist is fine.

Kogoro Mori identified Nose as the murderer, and Uoya excitedly rushed over and grabbed the man's collar. Kogoro Mori tried to stop him, but was pushed to the ground by Uoya, and the situation became completely chaotic.

At this time, Conan found something wrong. There was red wool in Sanzhi's hand, so he thought of a possibility.

Just as he was bringing up the issue, he was interrupted and scolded by Kogoro Mouri. Xiaolan supported Conan and asked him to continue, so Conan said, what if Sanzhi was not attacked by the murderer from behind, but from the front?

At this moment, Ling Cheng saw someone's feet slowly moving backwards.

Ling Cheng: It just so happens that I didn’t have enough fun just now.

While Chaoye loosened Nose's collar, Ling Cheng stood up and moved over stealthily under Conan's puzzled gaze.

Xiaolan was pulling Conan to demonstrate the technique, and when the man thought he was about to escape, Ling Cheng stretched out his leg and tripped him.

"Uncle, why did you accidentally fall down~"

At this time, everyone also discovered the wool on the nails. The real culprit was Hebian. Maori Kogoro immediately went over to subdue the person and then found a rope to tie him up. The group prepared to go back to the cabin.

Chao yelled at the damned Silver Fox but rushed over and tried to do something to Hebian. Hebian defended himself:

"What silver fox? I'm not one."

"You're still making excuses!"

Chao was very excited, just as Ling Cheng expected, so he said:

"This uncle is indeed not a silver fox."

"You know what nonsense, little brat!"

I couldn't tell the tide from the enemy, but Ling Cheng snorted.

"These two guys are robbers, not killers. Their bags are full of money and blood."

That’s right, Ling Cheng was in the cabin at that time not only for this reason, but also because he secretly looked at all the backpacks, so he already understood all the codes at midnight.

"what?"

Maori Kogoro was surprised and wanted to ask how it could be possible, but Conan also said:

"We'll find out if we go back to the cabin and see if it is true."

In this way, everyone had no choice but to go back and check the two backpacks. It was indeed true. At that time, a radio broadcast came, continuing yesterday's news, with details of two male and female suspects. Now they had to believe that he was not the Silver Fox.

Then who is Silver Fox? Ling Cheng said at this time:

"The Silver Fox is still in this mountain, but Mr. Chao, can you hand over the dangerous items?"

"As someone who wants to seek revenge on the killer, he should have brought a weapon."

"what?"

Maori Kogoro and the others were shocked again. Ling Cheng was too lazy to complain. He was really confused and pretending to be confused. His behavior just now and more than once before was enough for Ling Cheng to discover.

Especially the second, more obvious hint from Zero Hour. Based on the first and second hints, Chao must be carrying a gun, likely to avenge his son's murder. This suggests the farmer would have a hunting rifle to attack any attacking wild animals.
