Conan: Naruto

"show......"

Kuan Nian turned to look at Xiu Nian, with a drop of cold sweat running down his cheeks, and called out in surprise:

"Xiu Nian?"

"Of course I heard the screams."

Xiunian pointed her right hand at Xiaolan who was not far behind, and said with a hasty smile:

"That was Miss Lan's scream, wasn't it?"

"Eh?"

Xiaolan was stunned and looked at Xiunian in surprise.

Xiu Nian held the back of his head with his right hand and looked happily at Kuan Nian, Mu Nian and Tun Nian, who were standing side by side without realizing it, facing Xiu Nian, and added with pretense of relief:

"Miss Lan screamed because she was scared. There is nothing we can do about it!"

"Xiu Nian..."

Mu Nian stood on the right side of Kuan Nian and looked at Xiu Nian with disappointment.

Kuan Nian slowly shook his head and said nothing.

Tun Nian stood on the right side of Mu Nian, looked at Xiu Nian in disbelief, and called out uneasily:

"Xiu Nian..."

"What...what happened...?"

Xiu Nian's right hand, which was about to be lowered, suddenly stopped and looked at the three young monks dumbly.

"Mr. Xiunian."

Dongfang Haoyue looked at Xiunian with a calm heart, and Gujing Wubo revealed:

"The person who screamed at that time was not Xiaolan..."

"what?!"

Xiunian put down his right hand, raised his head suddenly, and looked at Mouri Kogoro in shock.

Dongfang Haoyue pointed her right hand to her chin and said solemnly:

"It was clearly me who was screaming!"

"you......"

Xiunian trembled slightly, unable to speak.

Dongfang Haoyue looked at Xiunian intently, and said with a solemn expression:

"It makes sense that you didn't hear my cry. After all, you stayed in the practice room with the roar of water all night. Am I right, Mr. Xiunian?"

"Please wait a moment, Brother Mori."

Officer Megure, who was always holding the evidence bag in his right hand, looked at Mouri Kogoro calmly and asked cautiously:

"Based on the evidence and testimony you have stated now, it is not enough..."

"If it's the decisive evidence, wouldn't it be in your hands?"

Dongfang Haoyue looked at Officer Memu calmly, and Gujing Wubo called out:

"Officer Mumu."

"What, what?"

Officer Mumu was slightly startled. He decisively held the evidence bag in his right hand and placed it on his chest. He lowered his head to look at the evidence bag and confirmed in surprise:

"You mean...shards of wood?"

"Although any traces of crime in the house can be covered up after the running water in the ashram is cleared away, the fragments of the window that were hit by the running water cannot be picked up immediately."

Dongfang Haoyue locked her eyes on the evidence bag and told her seriously:

"That thing... was the only thing the prisoner failed to recover."

Dongfang Haoyue stared at Xiunian, who was dripping with cold sweat, with sharp eyes, and swore solemnly:

"I staked my life as a detective... on the tape attached to the scraps of wood...

There must be Xiunian's fingerprints! "

As Dongfang Haoyue was talking, he suddenly remembered that the prisoner might have been wearing gloves at that time, and he made up for it in his mind, pretending that nothing had happened:

"Ahem, I bet on the detective career of Kogoro Mori, the detective of Mori!

It has nothing to do with Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi~! "

At the same time, Kudo Shinichi squeezed the palm of Dongfang Haoyue's body with his left hand, looked at Mouri Kogoro in confusion, and whispered in his heart:

"Haoyue's detective career...?"

"But."

Kuan Nian retracted his heavy gaze from Xiu Nian, raised his head to look at Mouri Kogoro, and defended Xiu Nian sincerely:

"Xiu Nian came to Shanni Temple just a year ago."

"If the method of this murder is the same as the murder two years ago, then the culprit should be the same person!"

Mu Nian looked at Mouri Kogoro excitedly, unable to believe that Xiu Nian was really a prisoner.

Tunnian looked at Kogoro anxiously, and emphasized loudly and confidently:

"The prisoner from two years ago was definitely not Xiunian!!"

"Two years ago..."

Dongfang Haoyue pondered for a moment, looked at the monks intently, and guessed with certainty:

"The murder two years ago may have been a crime committed by Abbot Tianyong. He used exactly the same method as this murder."

"What, what?!"

Kuan Nian, Mu Nian and Tun Nian's pupils were dilated and they looked at Mouri Kogoro in extreme horror.

Dongfang Haoyue calmly looked at Xiunian, who was looking down at the floor from beginning to end, and analyzed unhurriedly:

"The non-slip wooden boards in the corridor on the second floor show old cutting marks, and last night...Abbot Tianyong was so excited that he stopped you from revealing the murder case two years ago to me.

If my prediction is correct, Mr. Xiunian and Mr. Zhongnian who were brutally murdered two years ago should be..."

"We are brothers."

Xiunian looked at the cold floor with trembling pupils, and said with sadness:

"Zhong Nian, he...is exactly my real brother."

"What... what...?"

Kuan Nian, Mu Nian and Tun Nian suddenly turned their attention to the 1.4-meter-tall Xiu Nian, their words filled with disbelief.

"It's natural that no one is aware of this."

Xiunian still didn't look up.

He lowered his hands to his sides and explained calmly:

"I moved here through a distant temple in order to hide my identity. I just wanted to find the criminal who killed my brother and find out the truth about that incredible thing."

Xiunian paused for a second and said seriously:

“I spent a long time conducting secret investigations in Shanni Temple... Although I thought of the criminal methods used by the criminals, I was never able to determine the true identity of the criminals.

After all...no one wants to bring up the murder case two years ago. "

Xiunian paused for two seconds and said calmly:

“Until yesterday, you guys came.

Because Abbot Tianyong's reaction to that incident was too strange, he entered the abbot's room and found him drunk.

After my continuous insinuations, he finally talked about those things in full detail, completely unaware that I was Zhongnian’s younger brother.

At that time...Abbot Tenaga told me...that he killed my brother because he did not want him to take away Miss Kikuno who was engaged to the great temple.

It is said that my brother and Kikuno made an appointment to elope together... Of course, that kind of thing is not important now.

All in all, after listening to what Abbot Tianyong said, I knelt on the ground and begged him to surrender. He actually told me... Anyway, it happened two years ago, and it is impossible to find evidence now.

He also said... Ever since the death of Zhongnian spread to the ears of outsiders, Shanni Temple has become famous, and many people think that there is a foggy dog ​​here. "

Xiunian paused for three seconds, clenched his hands into fists, and stated with grief and anger:

"After hearing those words, I instantly lost my mind and strangled him with a towel in a rage, just like he did when he killed Zhongnian two years ago...

I... stood behind Abbot Tianyong who was kneeling on the ground, with my back to him, and put a towel around his neck. The two ends of the towel extended to the front of my collar, and I pulled hard with both hands... .

Later, I didn't know how much time had passed, but I saw him falling heavily on the dark floor. The only thought that flashed through my mind was... I had no choice. "
