The two of them were so nervous that they ran away.

Graybara and Mitsuhiko almost subconsciously followed Aiba and started running.

"What happened?" Graybara knew that Aiba was so nervous, and he might have seen something bad.

"There is a dead person in the woods. I'm afraid that guy shot him. He saw us now and wanted to kill us."

And Aiba, who had regained his adult figure, ran very fast at this time. She put her arms around Graybara and Mitsuhiko, speeded up, and quickly got rid of the hunter with a gun.

On the other side, Conan Ayumi had found Genta, and while scolding him, Conan felt a signal on his glasses.

"Why did they get in there?"

"That's not good. Should we go in and look for them?" Genta had just picked up a lot of matsutake mushrooms in there. He obviously wanted to go in after tasting the sweetness.

However, Dr. Agasa rejected this statement as soon as he said it. At this moment, a man with a hunting rifle saw several people coming over and said, "Why did you get in here? This is a hunting area."

Dr. Agasa explained embarrassedly, "Just now these children ran in there. We are here to look for them."

Ayumi looked at the man and asked, "Uncle, have you seen a silver-haired sister with two children?"

Yasaka Kiyoshi shook his head, "No."

At this time, Conan also found some traces around him, and found bloodstains and some bear footprints left on the soil.

Just when everyone was worried about whether the three people were attacked by a bear, Yasaka Kiyoshi denied it, "In fact, bears are also very afraid of humans."

"I don't think so. If it was that thing, it would be reasonable to hurt two children."

Another hunter appeared, this time a short middle-aged man with two mustaches. Saiga Matasaburo said again: "That thing has long had an irreconcilable hatred with humans. These three people will only be its feast before hibernation. As long as it is the one-eyed big black bear Jubei, it is possible."

"No... No way..." These words have scared Ayumi to tears.

"I see, it seems that my trip this time is worth it," the third hunter appeared, Genraiya smiled gloomily, "Don't worry, little sister, uncle will definitely avenge your friend."

Ayumi was so scared that she threw herself into Dr. Agasa's arms and cried loudly, and the doctor was also angry, "What are you talking about! It's not certain that the children were really eaten!"

Yasaka Kiyoshi suggested: "In this case, let's also look for them."

Saga Mataro nodded, "We are also familiar with the terrain here."

Looking at the angry children, Genraiya still smiled with a bad taste, "Sorry, little sister."

Mitsuihiko used the telescope he brought to observe that Conan and the others were walking into the mountains, but when he saw the three hunters following behind him, his face turned pale.

At this time, Huiyuan took the telescope from his hand and said with a firm tone: "Sure enough, the hunter mixed in the team."

At this time, Aiba was unexpectedly quiet. The situation was urgent just now, and she always felt that she seemed to have missed something. And from the beginning, she sensed a wild breath around her, which belonged to the breath of forest beasts.

"......"

She glanced at the little bear in her arms. It couldn't be the breath of this little guy. Then there was only another possibility...

Just as they were observing Conan and his group with a telescope, there was a commotion in the bushes, and the two hunters pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"What should we do? If he has been following the team, he will pull the trigger without hesitation the moment we appear..." Huiyuan looked solemn. Even if Aiba was there, she could take advantage of the opportunity to subdue the hunter, but in the deep forest, any movement could be regarded as prey. She didn't dare to let her do such a dangerous thing.

"I think..." After Aiba calmed down, he seemed to recall something. She was halfway through her words when she noticed Huiyuan's awkward right foot.

"Did you sprain your foot?" She squatted down and subconsciously lifted Huiyuan's right foot, only to see the girl frown in pain.

"It should be that I accidentally twisted it when I was running just now." Huiyuan shook her head, indicating that it was okay.

After taking off her shoes, Mitsuhiko immediately exclaimed, only to see that the girl's right ankle had swollen at some point, no wonder it was so painful.

Aiba's eyebrows were solemn

, without saying a word, took off the decorative tie from his collar and wrapped it around his ankle to fix it firmly.

"...It seems that it is better not to waste time."

With that, Aiba Yuu left the cover of the trees and slowly stood up.

Huihara was full of surprise. If they stood up from their current position, they would definitely be discovered. She subconsciously grabbed Aiba's hand and was puzzled by her almost suicidal behavior, "What are you doing!"

"...His gun has no killing intent." After thinking for a while, Aiba answered like this. At this time, Conan and his party also noticed Aiba's figure. She stared at Saiga Matasaburo in a daze and found that he was also looking at her. Although he held a shotgun in his hand, he did not take any action.

Sure enough...

Suddenly, Saiga Matasaburo's face changed, and he raised his gun and pointed it in the direction of Conan and his party. And then, the one-eyed black bear named Jubei appeared behind everyone with a roar.

"Go back! This is not the place you should come to!"

Conan, who had received a call from the police a long time ago, seemed to understand something at this moment.

Facing the threat of the hunting rifle, Jubei knocked the hunter's gun away with one palm, and it fell directly to the side, and even the barrel was twisted and deformed.

When everyone was terrified, Aiba held the little bear in his arms, and the next moment he jumped down and came to Jubei, "You are looking for it." She put the little bear in front of Jubei, and sure enough, Jubei's violent breath gradually faded. He returned to the depths of the forest with the little bear.

Just after Jubei left, Saiga Matasaburo also told his past.

Everyone also understood that Jubei had saved Saiga Matasaburo who was killed in the snow a long time ago. And it was also on that night that Jubei was shot in one eye by a hunter. Saiga Matasaburo was grateful for the black bear's life-saving grace. So he gave it a cruel name.

Jubei.

He deliberately spread rumors and portrayed Jubei as a ferocious black bear so that people would be afraid of it and stay away from it. Unexpectedly, more hunters targeted Jubei.

Among them was the hunter he shot.

The man used the corpse of Jubei's child as bait and hung it upside down on a tree in order to lure Jubei out. For a person who had protected Jubei for several years, this was undoubtedly extremely cruel and unbearable.

So, in extreme anger, Saiga Matasaburo shot and killed the hunter. And shooting at Aiba and the other two was just a desperate attempt to scare away the soldier who was already in a violent state not far away.

After the incident, the detective team members were on their way home, facing the sunset and couldn't help but recalling what happened today. The children were grateful for the warm story of Jubei and Saiga Matasaburo.

But Huiyuan thought that Saiga Matasaburo was stupid for doing so much to protect the bear from being hurt.

"How about we go to the zoo some other day?"

Faced with Aiba's proposal, Huiyuan turned a deaf ear, but a group of children cheered excitedly. Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, Aiba saw the faint smile on the face of the brown-haired girl, and she couldn't help but shrugged.

——How insincere.
