In Conan, we build a criminal gang
Chapter 45: The Mist Tengu Murder Case (2)
The host Tianyong talked about the legend of Mist Tengu as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
At this time, Mu Nian frowned and said: "In fact, the Mist Tengu really exists. Two years ago, a strange thing happened in the temple with the Mist Tengu. At that time, a young monk came here..."
After listening to what Mu Nian said, everyone understood why Abbot Tianyong did not allow anyone to talk about Mist Tengu in the temple.
During the conversation, the little monks also discovered the identity of Detective Kogoro Mori.
"What, sir, you are the famous sleeping Maori Kogoro?"
"It is a great honor to meet the legendary detective Maori Kogoro."
……
The four little monks were bragging to Kogoro Mori. Didn't they see that Mori was already feeling proud?
"Haha, where is it?"
As he spoke, Kogoro Mori laughed triumphantly, with his tongue sticking out.
Xiaolan lowered her head and her face slightly blushed. At this moment, she really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into and never come out again. The main reason was that Kogoro Mouri looked too embarrassing now.
The same situation happened to Conan. Only Qin Tian was still eating heartlessly, as if the outside world had nothing to do with him.
"Mr. Maori, can you help us solve this mystery?"
"I also want to know what is behind this mystery."
"Shut up, all of you." Tianyong, the old monk sitting in the middle, shouted at the four young monks.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go and have a rest after dinner."
……
After returning to their respective rooms, Xiaolan began to tidy up the quilt.
"Xiaotian, if you are scared at night, you can get into my bed."
Qin Tian seemed to have heard something incredible and asked, "Really?"
"No, no, Sister Xiaolan." Conan said loudly. He was still here, how could he let other boys enter Xiaolan's bed.
Xiaolan said indifferently: "What's wrong with that? If Conan is scared, he can get into my bed."
When Conan heard this, his face turned red, and all he could think about was what Xiaolan said, "Get into my bed."
Kogoro Mouri, who was standing by, saw it but didn't do anything. He knew that this was a sign of Xiaolan's fear, but he didn't say it out loud.
When Conan came to his senses, he found that Qin Tian, who was next to him, had crawled into Xiaolan's bed at some point.
Conan was shaking all over when he saw this, of course he was angry. He grabbed Qin Tian's foot with one hand and pulled him out.
"Hey, Conan, what are you doing? I want to sleep." Qin Tian was also very angry. He finally had a chance to sleep, but he was dragged out.
"You sleep with me."
The two men started fighting in an area of two or three meters in radius.
The fight was so intense that the sky was dark and the sun and moon were invisible. Both sides fought back and forth, and every punch and kick hit the flesh.
Kogoro Mori watched it with great interest and found it quite interesting.
Xiaolan couldn't bear to watch it, so she picked them up one by one in each hand, which shows how strong she is.
"That's enough, go to sleep."
Well, I finally had a good sleep.
In the middle of the night, Xiaolan suddenly wanted to go to the bathroom.
"Dad, I want to go to the bathroom. Please accompany me." However, what greeted her was the thunderous snoring of Kogoro Mouri.
So the clever Xiaolan used the most gentle method to wake up the sleeping Mouri Kogoro.
"Xiao Lan, if you want to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, just come out by yourself. Why did you call me? Haha, I'm so sleepy."
"Xiao Lan, don't you want to go to the bathroom? Why don't you say anything?"
Maori, who was walking in front, was yawning as he walked and didn't hear Xiaolan's voice behind him. When he turned around, he was almost scared to death.
"what!"
I saw that Xiaolan was wearing a mask on her face. If it was any other mask, it would not be too scary so late at night, but the mask Xiaolan was wearing was the legendary - Mist Tengu.
Mao Li fell to the ground, begging for mercy, completely different from his usual self. Hearing Xiao Lan's voice, he heaved a sigh of relief, but he also looked at Xiao Lan angrily.
"Dad, you are so timid. You get scared like this. Hehe." After taking off the mask, he looked at Maori with a smile on his face.
"Xiao Lan, please don't be so scary at this time of night. What if I get scared and have a heart attack?"
"No, I just want to see how brave Dad is."
Mao Li looked at the mask in her hand and asked, "Xiao Lan, where did you get the mask in your hand?"
"This one is hanging on the wall over there."
Kuan Nian, who had just heard the scream, ran over and asked with concern: "What's wrong, Mr. Maori, what happened?"
"Haha, it's okay, it's just a prank by my little girl. Go and have a rest, little master."
"Then Mr. Maori, you should also go to bed early."
After Kuannian left, Maori Kogoro glared at Xiaolan, and Xiaolan stuck out her tongue playfully.
……
the next morning.
The people who came for breakfast seemed to have not slept well.
Conan saw that Mu Nian and Tun Nian had dark circles under their eyes and asked, "Master Mu Nian, Master Tun Nian, did you not sleep last night?"
"Almost. We had fallen asleep last night, but we heard screams in the second half of the night, and we couldn't fall asleep when we wanted to sleep later."
When Xiaolan heard this, her face turned red. It turned out that because of her little prank, she caused others to stay awake at night. She felt a little embarrassed.
Qin Tian looked at the empty space in the center and guessed that the old monk had probably been killed.
"Why hasn't your master come yet? Is he usually the last one to come?"
"No, the master usually comes very early. He gets up before we do." Mu Nian explained again.
Qin Tian nodded, and just as he picked up the bowl to eat, he heard a scream.
Tun Nian immediately said, "This is Kuan Nian's voice. What happened?"
"Go and see."
Kogoro Mouri and Conan ran out almost as soon as they heard the scream.
Soon Qin Tian was the only one left in the room.
"Why did they all run away? It's such a waste to leave so much food behind. Never mind. I'm a generous man. I'll eat it all."
After looking in the aisle outside to make sure there was no one there, Qin Tian quickly placed everyone's food in front of their seats.
After tasting the dish, Qin Tian's eyes narrowed with smiles. The food cooked by Tun Nian was indeed delicious.
Kogoro Mouri and Conan were the first to rush to the room where Kannian screamed, and looked up in the direction his eyes were looking.
It was discovered that the old monk Tianyong was hanging high on the ceiling.
Mu Nian and Tun Nian, who rushed over, were shocked when they saw the dead old monk.
Maori Kogoro quickly said: "Xiaolan, call the police quickly, no one is allowed to enter this room now."
While waiting for the police to arrive, I learned from the young monk that two years ago, a young monk named Zhongnian in the temple also died here in the same way: hanged on a high beam, and a big hole was also opened in the wall.
After listening to this, Conan walked aside and looked carefully at the situation in the room.
"The beams on the roof are completely free of dust, with no signs of climbing. There are no signs of dragging where the ropes are wrapped, so it's impossible that someone was able to lift up the rather tall Tianyong and Zhongnian."
Half an hour later, the police finally arrived. When Kogoro Mouri saw that it was Officer Megure, he immediately greeted him warmly.
"Inspector Megure, it's you."
(Megure: How I wish it wasn't me. How come wherever you go, murders happen?)
"This place is also under Tokyo's jurisdiction. What's going on, Maori brother?"
Maori then told him everything he knew.
At this time, people from the identification department came to report.
"Officer Megure, after examining the damaged wall, it is clear that an ordinary person cannot destroy it to that extent in such a short period of time."
"Then the deceased committed suicide?"
"It shouldn't be possible. This house" has a very special structure. It is a special house with a length of 2.7 meters, a width of 2.7 meters and a height of 10 meters. The wooden boards around it are all painted and very smooth, with only a small skylight on the top for light.
It is impossible for a person to climb 10 meters up a smooth and straight wall to reach the hanging beam. Of course, it is also impossible to climb from the skylight to the hanging beam with a body on his back. Because both the skylight and the hanging beam are too small, only one person can pass through. "
The words of the appraisal class put Megure and Mori in a dilemma. It was neither suicide nor homicide, so how did the old monk Ten'ei die?
Just when the case was at a stalemate, a cherry blossom fell from the beam and landed right on Conan's nose.
Conan was very confused, how could there be cherry blossom petals on the hanging beam? Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration.
"I finally understand the murderer's modus operandi. Now all I have to do is find the decisive evidence."
Following the waterfall he came down the mountain and found something in the bushes, proving his guess.
Conan hurried back to the temple, anesthetized Maori with a tranqette gun, and began a series of reasoning.
"Everyone, I know who the murderer is."
When Megure saw Maori's posture, he laughed instantly.
"Brother Maori, is this true? Do you really know who the murderer is?"
"That's right. The murderer strangled the old monk Tianyong and placed the body on the kayak. He used tape to seal the gaps in the wooden boards on the corridor outside the door, and used the boards to guide the waterfall water into the room... He used an axe to chop hard on the outside, and the strong water pressure broke the wall and drained the water. It formed a crime scene similar to that of Mist Tengu's murder."
"This is the murderer's special method of using the environment to commit crimes."
When everyone heard Maori's reasoning, they understood how the murderer killed the old monk Tianyong.
"Brother Maori, who is the murderer?"
Conan paused and said, "The murderer is you, Xiu Nian, I am right, right?"
"Haha, that's right, it's me. That old man Tianyong deserves to die." At this time, Xiunian generously admitted the fact that he had killed the old monk Tianyong.
Finally, I learned from him: Two years ago, the old monk Tianyong used this method to brutally murder his granddaughter's lover Zhongnian in order to make her marry a richer family. Zhongnian's younger brother Xiunian came here under an assumed name in order to find out the truth about his brother's murder and avenge him!
After the police took Xiunian away, the murder case was considered over.
At this time, Xiaolan suddenly realized that she had not seen any trace of Qin Tian from the beginning.
When they came over, Qin Tian was already lying on the ground. Everyone looked at his bulging belly and the empty bowl on the ground and guessed what he had done.
"Little devil, you actually ate my meal. That's so despicable." Maori yelled, staring at the boss.
Qin Tian raised his head slightly, touched his stomach with his little hand, and said, "You, you guys are back, 'hiccup'~ I didn't eat your meal."
