The diagram represents the game "Cunning Rabbit". The game includes two pieces: "Hunter" and "Cunning Rabbit". Their positions are shown in the diagram. The northern end of the board, marked as X, is a special point, which means any piece can "fly" over X. Specifically, a piece can move directly from C to D or from D to C.

If the Hunter moves first, determine the minimum number of steps required for the Hunter to catch the Rabbit.
