Conan's Strongest Uncle

The four rooms were empty, and there was nothing in each room except a small glass cabinet 20 cm long and 50 cm high, which contained the bronze statues of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Hattori Heiji turned to look at Chuanjiu: "So where was the body found?"

Chuanjiu immediately pointed to the upper right corner of the room: "It's there, she was lying between two tatami mats, and I saw her bleeding a lot."

Conan and Hattori Heiji immediately stepped forward and started rummaging through the two tatami mats.

Conan lifted the tatami, and soon he found one thing, an earring clasp, which he immediately picked up with a handkerchief.

Mouri Kogoro's expression became a little weird. He smelled some strange smells and couldn't help but glance at the host Shi Lian.

Host Shi Lian looked at the two who were rummaging through the tatami, and said with a smile, "Young people are really curious now, since they feel that the mystery has not been solved, then all the guests will stay here tonight. How about continuing to investigate tomorrow!"

Haibara on the side walked towards the glass case.

Host Shi Lian immediately said, "This is the bronze statue of Duowen Tianwang, one of the Four Heavenly Kings."

He saw that Haibara was going to open the bronze statue, and he said quickly, "Son, it doesn't matter if you want to see it, but be careful not to break it. This is a precious bronze statue passed down from generation to generation in our temple."

Hearing this, Haibara put the glass lid back on.

At this time, it has been determined that tatami is not dual-use, and Hattori Heiji and Conan, who have seen all the tatami in the four rooms, walked in front of everyone.

Hattori Heiji said, "Master Chuanjiu, is it possible that you are wrong? If what you said is true, there was a dead woman in the room three days ago, so the bloodstains left on this tatami cannot be like this. It disappeared, but there was no blood in the whole room at all."

Xiao Ran said, "Could it be that someone replaced the tatami and brought in two new ones from outside!"

Hattori Heiji shook his head: "This is impossible, if two new ones are replaced, then the color will definitely be different, either darker or lighter, and the tatami in the room are all the same color, obviously The same batch!"

"Master Chuanjiu, you read it wrong!"

"No, I think that woman appeared three days ago. Look, this is the earring button I found under the tatami." Conan showed the earring button wrapped in a handkerchief to everyone.

Monk Chuanjiu immediately said in surprise: "Yes, I remember that woman had earrings on her ears."

Hattori Heiji's eyes lit up: "In that case, what Chuanjiu saw is real, interesting. Someone really committed suicide here, so the bloodstains that disappeared!"

Hattori Heiji saw only a few bronze statues in the empty room, and a smile appeared on his dark face.

He rushed to the bronze statue, knelt down, opened the glass cover, and then lifted the bronze statue and said, "The blood stain must only be under the bronze statue."

But seeing the empty scene below, Hattori Heiji's kneeling feet couldn't help to tip over, and he was almost unsteady holding the bronze statue.

"Yeah! Why not!"

Hattori Heiji quickly put down the bronze statue of King Duowen in his hand, ran to other rooms, and picked up another bronze statue.

"Neither this one!"

"still none!"

"Nothing at all!"

In the end, Hattori Heiji returned to the crowd in frustration, his head bowed after his reasoning failed, and Conan couldn't help frowning.

Host Shi Lian said with a smile: "The earrings you found should belong to Lin Jiu and Wen Jiu, who served in the temple before. They left the temple a month ago because they didn't follow the rules of the temple, and now they are in the temple. It's just me and it's been a long time."

"In addition to Chuanjiu, our temple has also adopted other children, namely Lin Jiu and Wenjiu, but they are different from Chuanjiu. After so many years, they are still very naughty. They often escape from the temple and go out to play, and In order not to reveal their status as monks, they will also change their face."

"Using wigs, earrings, and trendy clothes and trousers that I got from somewhere, I looked like a young man outside. They used this room before they left. I think this keychain fell off when they changed clothes. Bar!"

Shi Lian presided over the explanation in a very methodical manner.

Mouri Kogoro ignored the host of Shi Lian, instead he turned his head and walked outside, his eyes narrowed slightly.

This courtyard is surrounded by bamboo forests. It took 30 minutes to walk from the temple on the mountainside, and it is even farther away from the Cherry Blossom Pedestrian Street at the foot of the mountain.

Covered by the bamboo forest, you can't see the scenery under the mountain at all, this is a quiet and hidden place.

Mouri Kogoro looked down at the floor. The building in this courtyard was in the shape of a wooden frame and a grass top, and the floor on which he was stepping was already overhead.

Mouri Kogoro stepped on the board, shook his head, turned and walked into the room.

Chuan Jiu in the room said excitedly: "But I really saw that woman collapsed in this room, believe me, I really saw it."

Host Shi Lian sighed and shook his head: "I have to say it now."

"Actually, no guests came to this temple that day. It is said that you just had hallucinations because you missed your mother for a long time."

"How is that possible?" Chuan Jiu looked like he couldn't believe it.

Host Shi Lian shook his head: "Because I miss the mother who fostered you here 18 years ago, and Lin Jiu and Wen Jiu have both left the temple, there are only two of us left in the whole temple, and Chuan Jiu is too lonely to be here. I had hallucinations in my head."

"Three days ago, I heard what Chuan Jiu said. I thought it was someone who got lost in the mountains who was injured. I accidentally broke into this courtyard, so I came over and took a look. The room was empty, and there was nothing Chuan Jiu said at all. There was a woman lying in a pool of blood."

"Later the police came, and seeing how excited Chuan Jiu was, I couldn't help but agree with what he said, saying that there was a female pilgrim visiting, but the female pilgrim left early in the morning."

"Hey, Chuanjiu is so pitiful who has such hallucinations!" Host Shi Lian glanced at Monk Chuanjiu with pity.

Chuanjiu lowered his head, his expression was gloomy, he had begun to believe what the host said, and thought he was really hallucinating.

Hattori Heiji pulled the straightened hat crooked and said, "What are you doing! It turned out to be an illusion, it's a waste of everyone's time!"

At this moment, Mouri Kogoro said, "Xiao Ran, call the police!"

The crowd turned to look at Mouri Kogoro in surprise, all eyes on him.

Especially when it was hosted by Shi Lian, his pupils were constantly dilated. The calmness and calmness he had shown before were the opposite, but at this moment he was a little flustered.

Tōyama Kazuha said excitedly, "Uncle Mouri, did you find something?"

Hattori Heiji replied, "Isn't this a long-running hallucination? Why did you call the police?"

And Xiao Ran obeyed Mouri Kogoro's words, and immediately took out the phone and called Officer Megure.

Mouri Kogoro said, "Of course it's not a hallucination, a woman did die here three days ago!"
