Conan's Almighty Extraction

The crowd, startled by the screams, hurried towards the confinement room, only to find Kuan Nian slumped in the corridor, looking at the top of the confinement room with horror on his face.

Following Kuan Nian's gaze, he saw that Abbot Tianyong, who was in a monk's uniform, was hanged on a beam about nine meters high in the center of the confinement room.

Although it is not known whether Abbot Tianyong committed suicide or was murdered, he still had to notify the police as soon as he discovered the murder. Not long after, the Megure Police Department led a team to the scene.

After seeing Mori Kogoro at the scene, Megure's face froze slightly, and he sighed, "Brother Mori, why are you here again?"

"This. Yesterday we came to enjoy the cherry blossoms. Then this morning, we found Abbot Tianyong dead in the confinement room."

Mori Kogoro smiled awkwardly, told the Megure Police Department the reason why everyone appeared here, then went straight to the point, and explained the situation this morning in detail.

"That's why, let's go to the scene to see first."

After understanding the situation, the Mumu Police Department led their subordinates into the confinement room to investigate the scene. From the stiffness of Abbot Tianyong's body, it was deduced that the time of Abbot Tianyong's death was between ten o'clock and twelve o'clock last night.

After the preliminary investigation was completed, the Mumu Police Department asked Kuan Nian, the first discoverer at the scene, "Master Kuan Nian, you were the first to find the body of Abbot Tianyong, right?"

Kuan Nian nodded and explained: "Yes, because I didn't see Master in the dining hall in the morning, so I went out to look for him, and found Master's body here."

In order to elicit [that incident] as an important clue, Bai Yanmao seemed to praise, but in fact reminded: "Master Kuannian, your intuition is really accurate, then you will soon find the abbot Tianyong who is hanging on the high-altitude beam. .”

"That's right." After hearing Baiyan Maha's prompt, Mori Kogoro reacted instantly, and asked excitedly: "Master Kuannian, even if you came in to look for Abbot Tianyong, you wouldn't look up and look up." That's right, you probably knew that Abbot Tianyong was hanged on the beam from the very beginning, right?"

Kuan Nian turned pale in shock, quickly waved his hands in denial, "No, it's not me."

"Mr. Police Officer, I know the reason. Brother Kuan Nian was able to discover Master because the same thing happened two years ago."

In order to help his senior brother get rid of this suspicion, Mu Nian, who was standing aside, told the story of what happened two years ago with a solemn expression, which was the [that event] that Abbot Tianyong forbade everyone to discuss.

Two years ago, there was a monk named Zhongnian in Shanni Temple who, like Abbot Tianyong, died by hanging from the beam in the confinement room.

Because the way of its death is very similar to the way of the legendary Wutiangu killing people, it once caused panic among the monks. Although the panic gradually subsided over time, under the order of Abbot Tianyong, other monks are strictly prohibited. People mentioned it again.

"Oh, that's what you're talking about. Indeed, I was also responsible for this case back then."

The reason Mu Nian explained reminded Mumu police department of something, and he suddenly realized: "It seems that you found the body of Master Zhong Nian when you were repairing the big hole in the wall."

Mori Kogoro scratched his head, and asked curiously: "Megure Police Department, can you tell me about that case?"

"Master Zhong Nian also died in this way at the beginning, and the case was finally closed by suicide, because the beam was too high, and the only way to get there was the very narrow vent at the top. If you want to kill someone, hang it on the beam It's simply impossible."

That case didn't need to be kept secret, so the Megure Police Department didn't hide it and told the situation at that time.

"Yes," Kuan Nian also found a way to distinguish at this time, pointing to the big hole on the wall of the confinement room and said: "This big hole is exactly the same as the big hole that appeared when Zhong Nian died, so I subconsciously looked at the beam. , and then found Master's body."

"Haha, that's right." Mori Kogoro made a mistake in his reasoning. In order to avoid embarrassment, he hurried over to check the big hole that had been broken.

After observing for a while, Mori Kogoro frowned, and asked with some doubts: "Megure Police Department, the wooden boards on the wall are very strong, and it is impossible to break such a big hole in a short period of time, and we have not heard any reports of using explosives." Sound, how on earth is it formed?"

"It would take at least a day to manually dig such a big hole. Only the Wutiangou with great strength can break through the wall in such a short time."

Kuan Nian stared at the big hole tremblingly, and said tremblingly, "Sure enough, monsters are real."

"Mist Tengu."

Xiaolan, who was already afraid of ghosts, was frightened by Kuan Nian's nonsense, and immediately hid beside Bai Yanmao.

Bai Yanzhenyu was very speechless. He didn't expect that even a monk like Kuan Nian would be afraid of ghosts that didn't exist at all, and complained angrily: "Please, don't be suspicious, it's just a legend. There are foggy dogs."

Faced with Bai Yanzhenyu's complaints, Kuan Nian said angrily: "You haven't seen it, but it doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't exist. Otherwise, how can you explain the big hole in the wall?"

"Look at the floor around you, don't you think it's a little wet?"

Seeing Kuan Nian retorting himself, Bai Yanzhenyu frowned, and explained: "Do you know the water pressure? There is a small waterfall outside the corridor. You can use wooden boards to introduce water into the room. After the accumulation reaches a certain level, break the wall. One small hole, and the water can blow a big hole out of the wall."

"Mumu Police Department, there is indeed such a possibility, and when the room is filled with water, the corpse can also be transported to the beam with the help of a kayak, so the case two years ago and this time should not be It's as simple as it seems, because if it's suicide, there's no need for such troublesome steps."

After hearing Shiraiwa Maha's words, Mori Kogoro was shrewd once in a while, deducing part of the truth of the case.

"Come on, hurry up and try this method."

The Megure Police Department ordered his subordinates to test according to the method Shiraiwa Maha said, and it was indeed possible to introduce the water flow of the waterfall from the skylight into the confinement room.

Baiyan Maha dragged a wooden board from the skylight, pointed to the gap and said: "Mugure Police Department, there are traces of adhesive tape on the wooden board outside the skylight. Obviously this is the prop used by the murderer to divert water, that is, Say, this is indeed a murder case."

"Indeed, so who is the murderer?"

After inspecting the traces above, the Megure Police Department affirmed Shiraiwa Maha's judgment, and then looked at Kannian and the others with different expressions.
