In Conan, we build a criminal gang
Chapter 44: The Mist Tengu Murder Case (1)
On this day, Kogoro Mori was in a good mood and went to a car rental company to rent a car.
He said he would take everyone to see the cherry blossoms, but something delayed him before. Now that we have time, let's go see the cherry blossoms together.
……
On a secluded road, Kogoro Mouri was driving, with Xiaolan sitting next to him in the passenger seat, and Conan and Qin Tian, who was still sleepy, sitting in the back.
Seeing that there were woods all around and the direction the car was heading was getting more and more remote, Xiaolan asked worriedly, "Dad, you didn't take the wrong road, are you sure there are cherry blossoms here?"
"Of course. I did some research before coming here. The cherry blossoms here are very beautiful. We'll be there in about thirty minutes."
Qin Tian, who was sitting in the back, said: "Uncle, with you and Conan here, even the beautiful Sakura has to step back three feet. I don't know which damn ghost is ready to welcome the coming of the god of death this time."
Just when everyone was chatting excitedly about enjoying the cherry blossoms, there was a loud "bang" from under the car and the tire burst.
My goodness, when I go out for a ride with Kogoro Mouri, either the tire bursts or the car runs out of gas. Has this guy started to become materialistic?
"Uncle Maori, you didn't even prepare a spare tire, did you?" Conan asked a soul-searching question.
Maori Kogoro laughed and scratched his head, saying, "I forgot."
"Ah, what should we do now?"
"Let's go forward. There might be residents there. We can ask them to check if they have a spare tire."
"OK then."
Maori Kogoro walked in front with a serious face holding a map to lead the way. Conan and Xiaolan followed behind, while Qin Tian walked silently with a confused look in his eyes.
The four of them walked like this, and before they knew it, they had walked for a long time, but still hadn't found their destination. Maori Kogoro looked at the map in his hand from time to time, frowning slightly, as if he was confused about the route. Conan was observing the surrounding environment, trying to find clues.
Xiaolan asked worriedly, "Dad, how long will it take us to get there?"
Maori Kogoro shook his head and said, "I don't know either. This map looks a bit complicated..."
Conan consoled him, "Don't worry, we may find it soon."
However, as time went by, they still did not reach their destination. Maori Kogoro began to get annoyed and kept complaining about the inaccuracy of the map. Conan wondered if there was any other way to find the right direction.
At this moment, Qin Tian suddenly stopped and said softly: "Wait, this place seems familiar..." He frowned and tried to recall his past experiences. Maori Kogoro and Conan immediately looked at him, hoping that he could provide some clues.
Finally, Qin Tian spread his hands and said, "Uncle, we are lost. We have been to this place before."
"Ah, how is it possible? I was following the route on the map." Kogoro Mouri felt so regretful. He looked at the map again and was so angry that he threw it to the ground.
"hateful."
As the sky gradually darkened, Qin Tian and his companions finally found a residence. Who knew how long they had been wandering in the woods.
The four of them came to a temple, and their decadent look disappeared because they didn't have to spend the night outside.
Maori Kogoro looked at the temple plaque and said, "Sanni Temple? This name is too careless."
"Dad, what time is it..."
"Okay, okay, I got it. I'll go knock on the door right away."
Boom boom boom!
After the door of Shanni Temple opened, an old man appeared in front of everyone.
After Kogoro Mori explained his purpose, the old man motioned for everyone to come in.
"I'm the host here, Tianyong. Our accommodation fee is 3000 yuan per person."
"What, 3000 yuan per person? That's too expensive." Kogoro Mori never thought that it would cost so much to stay in a temple.
Monk Tianyong smiled and said, "If you think it's expensive, you can choose to leave this temple."
"Besides, it seems to be raining outside now. If you stay outside overnight, you might encounter a fog tengu that likes to appear in the rain and darkness and likes to suck souls. That's another matter."
When Xiaolan heard that there might be a Mist Tengu outside that eats human souls, she subconsciously moved behind Kogoro Mouri.
"dad."
When Qin Tian heard the three words "Mist Tengu", some fragmented information appeared in his mind.
"So this is the place where the Mist Tengu lives. I hadn't noticed it before. I remember that this monk Tianyong seemed to have died at the hands of his own disciple..."
In the end, Kogoro Mouri gritted his teeth and agreed. Although the accommodation fee was a bit expensive, it was better than four people spending the night outside.
At this time, four monks who had finished their homework in the temple came out. They were Xiu Nian, who was smart, Kuan Nian, Tun Nian, who was a good cook, and Mu Nian.
"Host, we have finished our homework."
"Well, these four are distinguished guests staying here. Xiu Nian and Kuan Nian, take them to the guest rooms."
"Yes, host."
The four of them followed the two little monks to the guest rooms. Conan discovered a strange room and walked in to take a look.
The room had a high ceiling with only a small skylight. The walls were thickly painted and appeared to have been repaired.
The others noticed that Conan, who was walking behind, was missing, so they went back to look for him and came to that room.
Maori looked at the ceiling and said, "Young Master, why is there only one small window in this room when the ceiling is so high?"
Xiu Nian clasped his hands together and said, "This is the place where monks are punished, and something related to Mist Tengu happened here..."
"Xiunian, shut up." Kuan Nian shouted to stop Xiu Nian from continuing to speak, turned to look at Mao Li and others, and said, "Guest, there is nothing to see here, let's go to the guest room."
Conan and Qin Tian knew from Kuannian's attitude that something shameful must have happened in this room.
According to Qin Tian's feeling, there is a high probability that someone will die in this room tonight, and the most likely person is the old monk Tianyong who is the host.
Soon the four of them were taken to the guest room, and Xiaolan opened a door when she heard the sound of running water.
"Wow, there is a waterfall here, so beautiful."
"Yes, it seems that the money is well spent. The abbot didn't say it earlier, really." At this time, Kogoro Maori was not angry at all about the old monk's exorbitant price just now.
The temple has beautiful scenery, and even has the amazing sight of waterfall water flowing into the corridor, with cherry blossom petals from the mountain in the water, which is very elegant.
Even Qin Tian was attracted by such scenery. Although something unpleasant was about to happen in the evening, it could not change the beautiful scenery here.
……
During the meal, everyone was in a harmonious relationship, and the little monks were also chatting about interesting things that happened during their leisure time.
Conan asked at this time: "Um, what is the matter with Mist Tengu?"
Suddenly, the room became quiet and the monks' faces kept changing.
Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri punched Conan on the head.
"Duang!"
"Just eat, why are you asking so many questions?" Mao Li then smiled and said, "I'm sorry, children are like this, don't bother with him."
Qin Tian found it funny to see Conan with a big bump on his head. This guy is really asking for death.
The host Tianyong sighed and said, "The Mist Tengu is a monster with great strength and can fly in the air. It rushes into the village like fog, breaks through the walls of houses and captures people. It also likes to hang people from high places. Of course, this is just a legend."
