Chapter 0370: The End of the Mountain Mud Temple
Wednesday, March 26th, around 7 a.m., in the mud temple in the upper reaches of the Tama River, the confinement room.
Most of the police went to search, and Conan also went to search, and the three of them decided to go to the balcony to see the scenery, so Yamazaki accompanied them to the balcony, and found Conan holding a piece of the floor on the balcony in a daze, and the floor that was pulled up made a big hole appear in the ground of the balcony, and the river beach below could be seen.
Lan shouted, "Conan!"
"Ah, Sister Lan. Conan was taken aback.
"Put it down. Lan said, "It's dangerous, you know. β
Yuan Zi said, "If you know, you won't do it." β
"Yes. Conan said as he lowered the floor and ran away.
Yamazaki squatted down and pressed the floor, then rubbed his somewhat sticky fingers and smiled, "No problem." β
"Wow, the view here is really good, and you can see a lot of cherry blossoms. Yuan Zi smiled.
Mei Daizi smiled: "It's a pity that there are no fish in the waterfall, otherwise I would have jumped on my body, this is called, by the way, throw yourself into your arms." β
Lan smiled: "It's a self-throwing net." β
Yuanzi smiled: "I agree with what Mei Daizi said, there is no net here." β
The three of them chatted casually for a while, and suddenly noticed a rainbow appearing under the waterfall.
Lan exclaimed, "It's so beautiful. β
Mei Daizi sighed, "If you get closer, you might be able to touch it." β
Yuan Zi smiled: "I mean, I haven't touched a rainbow yet." β
As the three of them chatted, Yamazaki looked at the grass by the stream below, Conan found something in the grass, took it and ran back, and then heard the voices of the Twilight Police Department and Mori from the confinement room, so he said, "It's almost time to go down." β
"Okay, let's go. Lan said.
In the confinement room, Maori was talking to the Twilight Police Department, "Didn't find anything?"
"yes," said the Dusk Officer, "now we have to go back and wait for the detailed autopsy report." β
Conan ran in panting and tugged at the corner of Yamazaki's coat, "I'm going to start." Then he ran to Maori and whispered, "Uncle, I found something on the balcony." β
"Oh, take me to see it. Maori said.
On the balcony, Conan lowered Maori down with an anesthetic needle, affixed a buttoned speaker to his bow tie that had been fixed on the back of his collar, and stuck his head into the skylight.
Conan said in a Maori voice, "Police, I already know the truth about this incident. β
"What?" asked the Dusk Police Department in surprise, "Are you telling the truth, Mori? Do you know how the killer was suspended in mid-air?"
"Yes, the murderer relied on buoyancy. Conan said in a Maori voice.
"Buoyancy?" asked the Dusk Police Department angrily, "You wouldn't say it was a foggy dog, would you?"
"No, of course not, the murderer did not rely on the buoyancy of the air. Conan said in a Maori voice, "It's the buoyancy of the water." β
"Water?" said the Twilight Police Department laughed, "No kidding, how can there be water here." β
Conan said in a Maori voice, "Oh, yes?" as he put the floor on the window.
"Midaiko, you three step back. Yamazaki laughed.
"Oh. Ran and Mei Daiko said and took a step back.
The garden asked, "What?"
"Wow!" a thin line of water fell, and when it landed on the hat of the Twilight Police Department, the water splashed onto the garden's face.
The Twilight Police Department stepped back and shouted, "Maori, what are you doing!"
"That's how the killer used," Conan said in a Maori voice.
The garden said, "This water will not be enough until tomorrow morning." β
Conan said in a Maori voice, "If you think about the amount of water you saw on the balcony last night, it rained more than it did last night, and if you bring it here, it should fill this place in four or five hours." β
"That's enough," asked the garden, "but it's easy to say, how do you lead it?"
"Conan just now showed me a piece of floor, a piece of floor that connects the waterfall tributary that passes past the balcony and the skylight of this confinement chamber. There are neatly arranged cherry blossom petals between the crevices of the floor, which is a proof of the use of adhesive tape, and when these gaps are attached, the water can be completely drained. Conan said in a Maori voice, "Isn't there a rubber boat here?" The murderer took the body of Abbot Tenaga and rode on the rubber boat, controlled the rubber boat with oars to prevent it from appearing directly under the current, and used plastic sheets and other things to keep their bodies from being wet by the splashing water, and when the water level reached a suitable position, he tied a rope in the middle of the beam, put Abbot Tenaga on it, and then used the oars to push off the floor that led the water, so that the water would stop, and climb out through the skylight. β
"Ah, is that big hole for drainage?" asked the Twilight Police Department, "but how did the murderer make such a big hole, which is ten centimeters of wood?" β
"It's simple, just use the water. "Imagine a crack in a dam and a flood bursting through it. The proof is that there is no debris here, because the debris has all been washed away by the water. β
In this case, it is also said in the past. The Twilight Police Department said, then asked, "So, who is the murderer?"
"That happened in the early hours of this morning, and apart from the long-deceased Abbot Tenna, the only person who didn't get there, Master Xiu Nian," Conan asked in a Maori voice, "Where were you then?"
"I'm in the room. Xiunian asked rhetorically, "Isn't it okay if I don't dare to go over?" and then added, "I didn't care if anyone shouted. β
"Well, that's okay," Conan said in a Maori voice, "the dinghy, the oars, the plastic sheeting are wet because of the moisture, and these things and the tools used to cut the walls are all from the temple, and it's not surprising that they have your fingerprints on them." Then he asked, "What about the tape, the tape that sticks to this crack in the floor, and the cherry blossom petals?" and threw a ball of tape at the feet of the Twilight Police Department.
The Twilight Police Department said, "This is ......"
"In terms of the difficulty and order of dealing with the items during the aftermath, the rubber boat and other things can be put in the storage room next to the confinement room, so the last thing to deal with is this tape, and the disposal method should be to take it back and set it on fire. Conan said in a Maori voice, "Master Xiu Nian, Master Tun Nian went to your room around half past four, at that time, you should have just returned to the room, and you haven't had time to deal with the tape, and then an incident happened, you can only take the tape on your body, follow Master Tun Nian, and then you have been stared at, there is no way to deal with the tape, and it is suspicious to carry it all the time, so you have to throw it outside when people are not paying attention." β
The Twilight Police Department looked at Master Xiunian and said, "Very good, if this adhesive tape is attached to the gap in the floor, and there are fingerprints, then the fingerprints on it must be left by the murderer." β
"Why, why is the luck so bad. Master Xiunian said, "It's just a little bit of time." β
"So, these two incidents, uh," the Twilight Police Department asked, "By the way, Master Xiu Nian only came here last year, so the last incident, Maori, the last incident was ......?"
"Yes, the cut marks on this floor are very old, which means that someone has used it before. And the abbot of Tianyong did not allow the people of the mountain mud temple to talk about the incident of two years ago, I think it should be the abbot of Tianyong who did it. Conan said in a Maori voice, "Abbot Tenei's motive is to break up Master Tadanen and Miss Kikuno, and Master Xiunian's motive is probably to avenge Master Tadanen." β
"When I was investigating Master Chung Nian two years ago, I remember that Master Chung Nian's file said that he also had a biological brother. The Dusk Police Department exclaimed in surprise, "If that's ......."
"Yes, Zhongnian is my biological brother. Xiunian said, "I know that my brother will not commit suicide, so I came here to investigate the cause of his death and the real murderer who killed him." Later, I guessed the method, but I didn't find the real murderer, until last night, I saw the abbot's attitude of not even wanting money, you must know that the abbot of Tianyong is definitely a person who sees money, more than 300,000 yen is enough for us to go to the beach to play for most of the summer, and the abbot of Tianyong will definitely increase the price when I encounter this kind of thing, and I have never seen it if I refuse like that, so I suddenly woke up, it turned out that the real murderer was the abbot of Tianyong. β
The Twilight Police Department asked, "So you're going to kill him?"
"Yesterday I went to see Abbot Tianyong, but he came up drunk and told me everything. In fact, Miss Kikuno doesn't have a marriage contract at all, and this kind of thing is just a matter that Abbot Tianyong made up to prevent Miss Kikuno from dating my brother. The abbot of Tianyong took a fancy to the other party's property, because the other party is not the only heir in the family, and can only come out of the house in the future, so that Miss Kikuno is here, and the other party will come to the Shanni Temple as the abbot at that time, and will definitely bring a large amount of money, so that the Shanniji Temple will grow, and also because of Miss Kikuna, the ancestral spirit of the abbot of Tianyong and their family will not be cut off from the worship, and then Miss Kikunai's children will also be the descendants of the abbot of Tianyong's family, so that the Shanniji Temple will continue to be passed on, and the ancestral spirit of the abbot of Tianyong and their family will also continue to be enshrinedγ Xiunian said, "In order to achieve his goal, Abbot Tianyong killed my brother in this way when he knew that my brother Zhongnian and Miss Kikuno were preparing to elope. β
"I see. The Dusk Police Department said.
"Actually, I didn't plan to kill Abbot Tianyong at all, I originally just planned to persuade him to turn himself in, however, Abbot Tianyong said that in order not to leave evidence, he took advantage of the rainy season to overhaul the temple, and I just let my brother not sleep well for two days and two nights, and then moved his hand while he was asleep, which is a very perfect crime, and for two years, the body has been cremated, and there is no evidence left at all, even if he goes to surrender, it is useless. Abbot Tenaga also said that because of that incident, the Yamami Temple has become a supernatural temple with the existence of a foggy tengu, and as long as it maintains a sense of mystery in the future, it will definitely become famous and attract countless visitors. Xiu Nian said, "Seeing that Abbot Tianyong didn't know how to reflect, I had the intention of killing him." I went out and put adhesive tape on the crevices in the floor of this balcony, prepared rubber boats and other utensils, and later, after I took a bath, I took a rope to tie firewood, and went to Abbot's room again, and strangled him back to back from behind while he was not paying attention, which was specially done to make Abbot Tenei look like he was hanged, but unfortunately there were still two strangulation marks. Later, just like the Maori detective said, as soon as I returned to the room, I ran into Senior Brother Tun Nian, and I didn't have time to deal with this tape, alas, my luck was really bad, and I was only a little bit of time. β
The Twilight Police Department asked, "So, Master Xiu Nian, do you admit that you did this incident?"
"Yes, I did it. Xiu Nian said, and then said, "Detective Maori, in fact, I guessed one thing wrong, Abbot Tianyong won't let you live here, in fact, it's not that you're afraid of finding out something, in his opinion, the incident of two years ago is a perfect crime, there's nothing to be afraid of, don't let people say it's just to maintain a sense of mystery." The abbot of Tianyong won't let you live here because he is afraid that you will bring bad luck to the temple and bring something bad, such as Miss Kikuno giving birth to a girl, and the other party divorced Miss Kikuno because of this. To be honest, now I very much agree with Abbot Tianyong's meaning, if you don't come, Abbot Tianyong will not get drunk, let alone chase you out because of your reputation, I won't find anything abnormal and talk to Abbot Tianyong, and things won't be the way they are now. β
Everyone laughed, and it was the garden that laughed the loudest, but quickly covered his mouth.
"Ahem!" said the Twilight Police Department, "Alright, Master Xiunian, come with us." β
"Okay. Xiu Nian said, and then sighed, "Detective Maori, I heard that you came here because of a flat tire, maybe it's providence." Alas, if only I had been here two years ago. β
"...... "Maori, no, it's Conan who hasn't spoken, Maori hasn't woken up yet."
"Brother Maori, do you want to go back with us?" asked the Twilight Police Department.
"Uncle seems to be asleep. Glancing at Maori, Yamazaki smiled, "No, the Twilight Police Department, there are still chefs who can change tires, and the car must be ready." β
"Are you asleep again?" the Dusk Police Department laughed, "Then we'll go first." Also, tell him to come over as soon as possible. β
"I'll tell him. Yamazaki said.
When the Twilight Police Department led the team away, the four of Yamazaki went to the balcony and helped Mori, who was covered in water, back to the guest room, and Yamazaki took off Mori's clothes and handed them to Midaiko, Sonoko, and Ran, and asked them to iron it. At the same time, please ask the three Kuan Nian who came with them to calculate the loss in the backyard so that they can lose money.
Waiting for the three of Mei Daizi and the three of Kuan Nian to leave, Conan asked in a low voice: "Hey, you already knew that the first scene was in the bedroom of the abbot of Tianyong, and it was seen when the police called the police, so you didn't let Lan and them use the bedroom phone, but came to the guest room to use your satellite phone?" Is it because the bedroom is too neat?"
"Not bad. "It's obviously cleaned up, and that's not something that someone who has taken a shower to sleep do." β
"We made a fuss, and Master Xiunian, who didn't go to the scene, is indeed very suspicious, but I have no way to confirm that it is him until the fingerprints on the inspection tape are his. Conan asked, "When did you confirm it was his?"
"I looked at Abbot Tianyong's bedroom and confirmed that the murderer was Master Xiunian. Yamazaki laughed.
"What!" Conan was taken aback.
"It's not your fault that you're short. Yamazaki smiled, "There are several things in the bedroom of the abbot of Tianyong, and the things in the high places have not been cleaned up, estimate the height and arm length, and the murderers are the two of you." β
Conan gave a pair of wide eyes.
Yamazaki smiled, "Actually, you're not bad, you found the floor first." β
Conan asked angrily, "You don't want to say that this is the advantage of being short, do you?"
"You said it yourself. Yamazaki laughed.
At this time, Maori woke up with a yawn, and then found that all the clothes were gone, and let out an earth-shattering cry, and the three of Lan, Yuanzi, Mei Daizi, and Kuan Nian, Tun Nian, and Mu Nian immediately rushed over.
Finding that it was okay, the three of them went to iron their clothes again, and Yamazaki asked Conan to tell Mori what had happened, and took the three of them out of the guest room.
Walking to the big hole in front of the bathroom, Yamazaki asked how much the compensation was, and the three of them looked at each other and quoted a price, 140,000 yen.
"It's 300,000 yen, and the front yard will be repaired, and the rest will be used as living expenses. Yamazaki smiled, "I don't know what you plan, but please wait a minute, I will introduce friends to buy here, the negotiation may take half a month, if you are willing to stay and work for them, just wait half a month before making a decision." β
"Of course we don't want to go. "But what do you want us to do?"
"It's about the same as you are now, plus three kinds of work: animal husbandry, fishing, and farming. Of course, there will be more than just this place, and there will not be just the three of you, and if you buy this place, you will build a hydropower station here and hire some people from nearby. Yamazaki said.
"Is this going to be vulgar?" Mu Nian asked.
Kuan Nian asked, "Mr. Yamazaki, we have been monks since we were children, although we are not very religious, but we don't want to return to the vulgar, can we?"
"If you don't want to be vulgar," said Yamazaki, "I can ask them to send a temporary abbot to teach you." β
"Abbot?" Mu Nian said, "what do they believe in?"
Yamazaki said with a smile: "I can't talk about the letter, it's just an offering, offering to Amitabha Nyorai, so that the family of the deceased can have a sustenance." By the way, they don't want to eat meat, but if they want to start a family, they must be vulgar. β
"That's good. Tun Nian smiled, "We are using the rituals of the Pure Land Sect. β
"yes, you don't have to eat meat secretly. Kuan Nian smiled.
"You know?" Tun Nian was taken aback.
"At your size, you don't look like you're a vegetarian. Mu Nian smiled, "Actually, I know everything, and Xiu Nian has also eaten it secretly." β
Kannian said, "Mr. Yamazaki, we'll wait. β
"Please be prepared for both, too. Yamazaki said.
Kuan Nian said, "We will." β
At this time, the three of them came out of the bathroom with Maori's clothes, and Yamazaki gave the clothes to Maori, who had just finished listening to the story. After Mori got dressed, he took Yamazaki, Maidako, Ran, Sonoko, and Conan out of the mud temple, and returned in the car that had been parked in front of the temple after changing the tires and leaving a spare tire. β¦β¦
