Conan: Naruto

"Humph."

Dongfang Haoyue hummed confidently, and decisively dragged Kudo Shinichi, who was thinking about many doubts about this murder case, towards Mouri Kogoro, and excitedly asserted in his heart:

"I'm coming!!

A hint from the top detective, Kogoro Mori! ! !

First of all!

According to past practice, we must look at the Maori detective's conclusion of suicide in the case in reverse.

In other words, Abbot Tianyong died of homicide!

Secondly, Detective Mori just mentioned that the fragments of the ashram walls and windows should be located in the forest below the cliff.

He seems to be unintentional, but in fact he is intentionally hinting to us... The key clues or evidence in this murder case are located in the forest!

Wait, forest?

Yes, I should fly down with Shinichi to see the forest and look for clues! "

Thinking of this, Dongfang Haoyue stopped suddenly, leaned against the corner of the corridor, and grabbed Kudo Shinichi who stopped walking forward consciously, causing him to stop thinking, turn his head, and look at Haoyue with confusion.

Haoyue turned his head slightly to the right, glanced at Officer Mu Mu not far behind, and was getting closer and closer. He stopped the movement of chakra in his body and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​raising mist and flying towards the forest.

suddenly!

"grandfather!!!

grandfather! ! ! ! ! "

It was the heart-wrenching, sorrowful sound of a young woman's grief.

Dongfang Haoyue was slightly stunned, then decisively grabbed the confused Kudo Shinichi again, turned around and rushed to another corridor on the right.

They circled around the outer wall of the practice room and returned to the main entrance of the practice room. They were surprised to find...

A young woman wearing a light purple coat and purple sweater with short dark red hair reaching her neck was sitting on her knees outside the gate.

The police officers on both sides in front of her carried the stretcher calmly and powerfully.

In addition, Tianyong was lying on a stretcher, with his body under his chin covered with a layer of white cloth.

At this moment, the young woman carefully held Tian Yong's head with both hands, tears flowing down one drop after another, and she called out heartbrokenly:

“Grandpa, Grandpa!!!

woo woo woo..."

"She is......"

Dongfang Haoyue stood on the left side of the door, raised his head, and looked calmly at Kuan Nian on the left.

Kuan Nian was stunned for a moment, looked down at Haoyue, and introduced calmly:

"She is the granddaughter of Abbot Tianyong, Kikuno."

Dongfang Haoyue looked stunned and muttered in confusion:

"It turns out that Abbot Tianyong was married...!"

"I remember......"

Officer Megure stood behind Kudo Shinichi on the right side of Dongfang Haoyue, looked at Kikuno seriously, and recalled in detail:

"Two years ago, she held the body of monk Zhongnian and cried loudly."

"yes......"

Kuan Nian looked at Juno sympathetically and sighed melancholy:

"Although Kikuno often came to Shanni Temple to visit us at that time, I never saw her again after that unfortunate incident happened..."

"Mr. Kuan Nian, may I excuse you."

Mouri Kogoro stood in the middle in front of Dongfang Haoyue and Kudou Shinichi, with his back to them. He turned back to look at Kuan Nian, withdrew his gaze from the young man behind Kikuno, and looked at Kuan Nian calmly.

Kogoro asked rigorously:

"Excuse me, who is the man on the right behind Ms. Kikuno?"

After hearing this, Dongfang Haoyue turned her attention to the tall young man wearing a black suit, white lining, and gray tie with no hair, and guessed dumbly in her heart:

"He's a monk too...?

But...he stood behind Kikuno, looking at Tianyong with a heavy expression but not showing any sadness at all...

Combined with the fact that Japanese monks can get married...young men may be..."

Dongfang Haoyue hasn't finished thinking yet.

"He is Kikuno's husband."

Mu Nian stood on the left side of Kuan Nian, withdrew his heavy gaze from Tianyong and Juno, looked at the young man calmly, and explained calmly:

“They got married some time ago.

Because the other party is the heir to a large temple, the two have been engaged since childhood. "

Mu Nian lowered his head slightly, looked down at the floor, and said sincerely:

"Two years ago, I was really shocked when I heard Abbot Tianyong mention this matter... I thought Kikuno would be with Tadong Nian."

"Zhongnian?"

Mouri Kogoro was surprised and confirmed with a slight doubt:

"Mr. Zhongnian who hanged himself to death?"

"Ah."

Mu Nian looked at Moori Kogoro, responded softly, and said with mixed emotions:

"Zhongnian and Juno have a very good relationship, but..."

"But Zhongnian heard about Juno's marriage. I think... Zhongnian was so stimulated by this that he... then..."

Tun Nian stood on the left side of Mu Nian, looking down at the floor, and said regretfully:

"That's why I did such a stupid thing..."

"So to say......"

Kuan Nian looked at Officer Mumu and speculated with reason:

"Because Abbot Tianyong has been thinking about Zhongnian's death..."

Kuan Nian hasn't finished speaking yet.

Mu Nian looked at Kuan Nian and added with approval:

"So I took advantage of Kikuno's marriage and used the same method to commit suicide!"

"It makes sense."

Officer Mumu nodded cautiously, looked at Kuan Nian and Mu Nian with deep understanding, and guessed according to the police's practice in handling suicide cases:

"If it is true as you said, there may be Abbot Tianyong's suicide note hidden in a corner of Shanni Temple."

"In that case, let's search separately!"

Kuan Nian looked at Mu Nian and Tun Nian with excitement, and gave the order without hesitation.

at the same time.

Kudo Shinichi silently grabbed Dongfang Haoyue, who was listening to the whole story, turned around, and ran majestically along the corridor to the outside of the broken corner of the practice room.

Haoyue walked, looking calmly at Shinichi, who had a solemn expression, and explained clearly:

“Abbot Tianyong’s death must not have been suicide.

No matter how much he imitated the ancient legend of the foggy dog, he would not be able to go to such a high place and hang himself, let alone break through the corner of the wall and create a big hole in a short period of time. "

"Ah."

Kudo Shinichi looked forward, responded softly, and deduced calmly:

"In order to hang Abbot Tianyong, the prisoner deliberately damaged the corner of the wall and created a big hole. This possibility is not impossible.

Moreover, the method of this incident is the same as that of the incident two years ago, which means that the same prisoner may have killed Mr. Zhongnian and Abbot Tianyong. "

"The same prisoner..."

Dongfang Haoyue followed Kudo Shinichi to the open-air corridor outside the damaged corner, lowered his head slightly, looked at the floor thoughtfully, and made a reasonable judgment:

"In this case, Mr. Xiunian, who entered Shanni Temple a year ago, is probably not a prisoner."

Kudo Shinichi was about to nod in approval.

"kid."

Xiunian stood at the corner of the corridor unnoticed, looking warmly at Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi two meters in front of him, and asked politely:

"What are you doing?"
