Conan: Naruto

"It's Kuan Nian's voice!!"

Tunnian stood up first and looked at the people in front of him anxiously.

Xiunian stood inside the door, looked back at the door, and guessed uncertainly:

"It seems to be the sound coming from the practice room..."

"go!"

Mouri Kogoro stood up without hesitation and rushed out of the gate at the lead.

The crowd followed.

--------

After a short time.

Ashram.

Mouri Kogoro rushed into the open door of the training room, his eyes locked on Kannian who was slumped on the ground one meter in front, supporting the floor with his elbows back, looking up at the ceiling, and called out anxiously:

"Mr. Kuan Nian!?"

"sky......"

Kuan Nian always keeps his head raised.

He looked at the ceiling absentmindedly, and said with fear and timidity:

"Tengu... is the crime committed by Kiritengu..."

"Fog Dog?"

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi stood side by side to the left of Mouri Kogoro. They expressed surprise, glanced calmly at the ropes scattered on Kuan Nian's right, looked up at the ceiling, and suddenly realized...

One end of a rope was tied to the center of the three beams above, and the other end in a loop was tied around Tianyong's neck.

The sky will hang high in the sky forever, and I will die with my eyes closed.

after a while.

Police officer Mu Mu led a large number of police officers to the scene of the crime.

The police officers carried out the investigation and evidence collection skillfully.

Kudo Shinichi stood where he was, looking solemnly at Kogoro Mouri's Kannian on the right, without saying a word.

Dongfang Haoyue stood on the left side of Shinichi, quickly glanced at the busy police officers, and guessed in surprise:

"Detective Takagi, who often follows Officer Megure, didn't come to the murder scene this time. Is he having a day off today?"

The thought just fell.

"Ah."

Officer Mumu stood in front of Dongfang Haoyue and looked calmly at Tianyong, who was lying flat on the floor half a meter in front of him, his whole body dry. He pondered for a moment, put his hands behind his back and folded his forearms, and cautiously narrated:

"The monk who hanged himself to death was Tianyong, the abbot of Shanni Temple. The estimated time of death was from [-] to [-] o'clock last night.

The first person to discover the body was a monk from Shanni Temple..."

Officer Memu turned to look at Kuan Nian, who looked uneasy, and confirmed calmly:

"Mr. Kuan Nian found the body, right?"

"Yes."

Kuan Nian tried his best to regain his composure, looked at Officer Mumu rationally, and stated meticulously:

"Because I haven't seen Abbot Tianyong in the morning, I kept looking for him.

And then... then found out that the abbot he..."

As Kuan Nian talked, it was difficult to speak.

"Ah."

Officer Megure nodded slightly, looked at Kogoro Mori with narrowed eyes, and explained with a speechless expression in accordance with police practice:

"The next thing is that I heard Mr. Kuan Nian screaming, rushed to the scene of the crime as soon as possible, and even happened to stay here..."

"It's me~"

Mouri Kogoro clasped his hands on his chest, looked at Officer Megure with a naive expression, introduced himself with a subtle smile:

"That's my famous detective Mouri Kogoro, Inspector Megure~"

"Hahaha......"

Officer Megure smiled awkwardly but politely.

Mouri Kogoro didn't pay attention to Megure's smile. He put his left hand in his trouser pocket and put his right hand on Kannian's left shoulder. He looked at Kannian with a smile from ear to ear and joked, changing the subject:

"Mr. Kuan Nian, your scream earlier was really terrifying. It even scared me."

"I can't compare to your screams last night...!"

Kuan Nian shrugged his shoulders and looked at Mouri Kogoro helplessly.

"but."

Kudo Shinichi innocently dragged Dongfang Haoyue to the right of Officer Memu, turned around, looked at Kuan Nian innocently, and praised with a smile:

"Brother Kuan Nian's intuition is very sensitive!"

"what?"

Kuan Nian was stunned for a moment and looked at Kudou Shinichi in surprise.

"Eh?"

Dongfang Haoyue looked at Kudou Shinichi with a cute look, and asked eagerly:

"Why do you say that~?"

"Haoyue, look there!

Is Abbot Tianyong hanging from a very high ceiling? "

Kudo Shinichi looked at Dongfang Haoyue with a bright smile, raised his right hand high, pointed his index finger at the ceiling, and hinted seriously:

"If I entered the practice room, I wouldn't look up at all!"

"Ow."

Dongfang Haoyue retracted her gaze from the ceiling, looked at Kudo Shinichi happily, nodded without thinking, and agreed with a smile:

"Makes sense!"

"Listen to what you say..."

Mouri Kogoro withdrew his gaze from Kudou Shinichi, stared closely at Kannian who had two drops of cold sweat flowing down his cheeks, and immediately put some psychological pressure on him and said:

"It's indeed strange, Mr. Kuan Nian.

Did you already know that Abbot Tianyong was hanging from such a high ceiling? "

"Stop...stop joking!!"

Kuan Nian looked at Mouri Kogoro with excitement, and defended sincerely:

"I just......"

"Of course he's looking at the ceiling."

Mu Nian stepped from outside the door.

Tunnian and Xiunian stood outside the door, looking at everyone in the room with uneasy expressions.

At this time, Mu Nian stopped on the left side of Mouri Kogoro, looked at Kogoro carefully, and revealed hesitantly:

"Two years ago, exactly the same thing happened in the practice room..."

"Mu-Mu Nian!!"

Kuan Nian suddenly turned around, rushed to Mu Nian's right side, and stopped Mu Nian in his excitement.

Mouri Kogoro turned to the left, looked at Mu Nian in astonishment, and repeated in surprise:

"Two years ago?"

"Well, that's another murder case that I'm responsible for investigating."

Officer Megure held his chin with his right hand like a pistol, looked at Mouri Kogoro solemnly, and recalled with a clear mind:

"I remember...a young monk named Zhongnian died..."

Officer Mu Mu stared closely at Kuan Nian and Mu Nian and confirmed rigorously:

"The first people to discover the body were Mr. Kuan Nian and Mr. Mu Nian, right?"

"Yes, it is......"

Kuan Nian looked down at the floor, extremely worried and didn't say much.

Mu Nian lowered his head slightly, looked at the floor solemnly, and recalled in a low voice:

"It was a rainy season...

Zhongnian, who was in retreat in the practice room, inexplicably opened a big hole in the wall and disappeared without a trace.

We searched for him for three days and three nights... but to no avail.

On the morning of the fourth day, we almost gave up on him and thought he had left Shanni Temple. Who would have thought...

When Kuan Nian and I entered the practice room to restore the walls to their original state, we inadvertently raised our heads...! "

As Mu Nian spoke, his expression suddenly changed and he broke out in cold sweat.

His pupils trembled violently, and he said with unspeakable horror:

"Loyalty is hanging high on the beam, and I will not close my eyes until death..."
