Chapter 13
"Hahaha, thank you, Hoshino-chan!" Mouri Kogoro's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees when he saw his daughter's fierce expression. He came over enthusiastically and shook hands with Hoshinoki.
"You're welcome, uncle! It's what I should do."
Hiroshino Muhui held the other's hand and said politely.
"Conan, and you! How did I teach you?"
Ran Mao Li squatted down and patiently taught the"little friend" in front of her."
"It's okay, I don't mind."
Hoshinogi glanced at Conan who was just at his knees.
He looked at Mao Lilan calmly, indicating that he didn't mind arguing with a child.
""I'm sorry!"
Conan bent down and bowed to Hoshinoki obediently.
Although Kudo Shinichi has always been very"cocky", he is still quite serious when it comes to such a matter of life and death. Hoshinoki looked at Conan's little face. In the animation game modeling, the protagonist's hairstyle can be changed at will. If you put Mao Lilan's hairstyle on Conan's face, it seems that it can overlap. In other words
"Is this your child?"
Hoshinoki raised his head and looked at Mao Lilan calmly.
"Huh?!"
"no!"
""No!"
Everyone said in unison!
Mao Lilan and Conan were both panicked.
Mao Li Kogoro's face turned black in an instant.
Only Suzuki Sonoko was holding her stomach and laughing.
"Oh! Excuse me."
Hiroshinoki nodded and turned to walk towards the temple.
"What's wrong with this kid? How could he have such a young mother!"
Mouri Kogoro raised his fist and waved it
"How rude!"
It seems that he still hates"handsome guys".
It was late at night.
Everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.
A good night's sleep.
The next morning,
Hoshinoki made the bed and walked out of the room.
Following the monk's instructions, he came to the dining table and found that Conan and his group were all there.
Before Hoshinoki sat down,
""Ahhhhh!"
A scream was heard.
Everyone heard the scream.
They all stood up and went to the source of the sound.
That was the location of the prison room.
Xingye Mu followed the footsteps of the crowd and walked calmly.
""Stop, abbot!"
He looked closely.
It was the temple's head monk, Tianyong.
"
Ahh...
"Call the police!"
Mouri Kogoro was the first to react.
He asked his daughter Mouri Ran to call the police.
The sirens echoed throughout the temple.
Several police cars arrived outside the Nishan Temple.
Officer Megure led his men to investigate the Nishan Temple.
"How did you find the host on the rafter?"
"Normally people wouldn't look up when they enter a room."
Inspector Megure made a routine inquiry to the first witness who found the host's body.
"You will find out of course!"
"Because the same thing happened two years ago."
The monk in the temple explained
"Two years ago, it was the same location..."......
Although it is suspected that someone strangled Tianyong first and then hung his body on the beam.
However, the structure of the"prison room" is very special.
It is a special house with a length of 2.7 meters, a width of 2.7 meters and a height of 10 meters.
The wooden boards on all sides are all painted and very smooth.
There is only a small skylight on the top for light.
It is impossible for a person to climb up 10 meters along the smooth and straight wall to reach the beam.
Of course, it is impossible to carry a body from the skylight to the beam.
Because both the skylight and the beam are too small.
Only one person can pass through.
The only explanation is in the folk legend.
It can only be done by the flying fog tengu entering through the skylight.
Just when the case was at a stalemate.
"Isn't he the murderer? Monk Xiu Nian."
Xingye Mu suddenly spoke up, attracting everyone's attention.
"My classmate, you said that Monk Xiu Nian was the murderer? What evidence do you have?"
Inspector Megure walked up to Hoshinoki and asked anxiously.
"What right do you have to frame me?"
Monk Xiu Nian turned pale and quickly argued
"Isn't there an inflatable rubber boat in this room?"
Xingye Mu said calmly.
"Plus this mountain waterfall..."
At this time, a cherry blossom fell from the beam and landed on Conan's nose.
Conan was confused.
How could there be cherry blossom petals on the beam?
With the two hints given by Hoshinoki, he suddenly had an idea. He finally figured out the murderer's method of committing the crime.......
Hoshinoki was watching Conan's actions.
Anyway, the old man who hosted the scene was dead.
Mission accomplished.
All that was left was to watch Conan's"acting" and cooperate with the police investigation.
It turned out that the murderer treated the"prison room" as a rectangular container.
He used a wooden board to draw water from the waterfall.
The murderer first strangled Tenyong.
Then he took an inflatable rubber boat.
When the water level rose to the hanging beam, he hung Tenyong's body on the hanging beam.
He escaped from the skylight.
Finally, he opened the door and let the water out.
Since the"Sanni Temple" was close to the waterfall, the sound of the waterfall was very loud.
It covered up the sound of the crime.
The murderer did this to disguise the murder as the work of Mist Tengu.
In folk legends,
Mist Tengu is an ancient creature that likes rain and darkness and specializes in gnawing at human souls.
Gosho Aoyama used Conan's mouth to popularize Japanese Tengu culture.
The ancients saw some meteors making a loud noise.
People from China to Japan said that those meteors were dogs in the sky.
From then on, people called those meteors that made a loud noise"Tengu".
The Chinese believed that once such a meteor landed on the earth, it was a bad omen.
Later, this legend spread to Japan. Tengu was misunderstood as a monster from a strange phenomenon. Mr. Aoyama deserves admiration. As a cartoonist, he was realistic and told the truth. He did not say that the Chinese cultural symbol Tengu was a Japanese thing. He was realistic, honest and rigorous. This attitude deserves respect.
""Buzz~"
The cell phone message alert sounded.
Hoshinoki picked up the phone and checked the message.
It was a bank transfer message.
The amount was the agreed 100 million yen.
The employer was indeed trustworthy.
After seeing the head monk die, he immediately transferred the money.
Hoshinoki looked up.
Just in time to see Conan pushing Maori Kogoro in front of him.
Hoshinoki's hands were itching. He couldn't help but open the camera.
He had already adjusted the phone to silent mode in advance.
Aim at Conan.
The photo is in hand
【Ding! Evidence of Edogawa Conan murdering Maori Kogoro +50 points】
【Ding! Get evidence of Edogawa Conan secretly solving the case +50 points】
【Ding! Assist Edogawa Conan in solving the case +50 points]
At this time.
A system sound suddenly came from Hoshinoki's mind.
There was no announcement when he saved Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko before.
Hoshinoki checked the points he got yesterday.
【Save Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko +20 points]
The points are only 20.
It seems that only after completing the tasks with high points, the system will announce it.......
In the photo, the miserable state of Maori Kogoro was clearly"exposed".
I didn't expect that an adult would be pushed by a half-grown child.
The saddest thing is that Maori Kogoro also had a big bump on his forehead.
I didn't feel it when watching the anime.
Now I see the real appearance of Maori Kogoro being"knocked out".
It's very weird.
He stood by the window with a deep look when he was unconscious.
Very cool. It's completely different from his usual appearance. He is like two different people. He is a middle-aged greasy man who usually snores when he sleeps.
It's unreasonable.
It's even very likely that Maori Kogoro pretended.
He was a"sharpshooter" in the police academy.
After graduation, he joined the Metropolitan Police Department.
He was originally in the Arson Investigation Group of the First Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department.
Later, he was transferred to the Third Department of the Assault Investigation of the First Investigation Division of the Criminal Department of the Metropolitan Police Department.
He can achieve such"results".
He doesn't look like the kind of person who can be"anesthetized" casually.
Unless he wants to.
Moreover, there are people in the room.
Except for Hoshinoki.
Didn't anyone notice it?
Conan is hiding behind Maori Kogoro.
He is holding a"bow" with a microphone in his hand.
Is it reasonable?
It is very unreasonable.......
""The murderer is you - Monk Xiu Nian!"
It was the voice of Maori Kogoro.
The case was solved.
The murderer also admitted his crime.
The motive for the murder was that the old monk killed his brother.
Killing for life.
He was not wrong.
The mistake was that he should not have taken revenge when Conan was there.
