"Officer! here!" Outside the temple, a young monk greeted the approaching police car.

"Where's the body?" asked as she stopped the car and got out of the car. 、

"Here, follow me!" said go, but the monk turned around and ran.

Mizuma Moon and other police officers followed without saying a word, there are many steps in the temple, so it is inconvenient to drive, in fact, the destination is still a long way from the temple gate.

"Whew...... Whoosh...... What are you doing with the guest room key so far away?" Rao is Shui Jian Yue, and he had to take a few breaths after almost climbing a mountain.

"Hah...... Ha...... Ha...... Ha ......" and the monk gasped even more exaggeratedly, and he couldn't speak normally: "Ha...... Over here...... Be...... Ha...... To the ...... Pilgrim...... ...... of the residence Ha...... Room. "As for the other officers, they're almost halfway up the hill now.

As soon as he turned around, Mizuma Moon noticed that Shiratori was still following him, but his breath was slightly worse than his own, and the two of them followed the direction pointed out by the monk and entered a room with an open door.

As far as the eye can see, there is a square square room, in which two walls are made of sliding doors, and in the outermost corner you can see a statue of Nioh in a glass case, with eight tatami mats on the floor, and in the center of the room stands an elderly monk dressed in black who is chanting, apparently the presiding officer.

"Corpse...... What about the corpse?" Mizuma Yue looked carefully around and made sure that he really didn't see the corpse, so he couldn't help but ask the host.

"Hello officer, Shi Lian, who is presiding over Shi Lian in Xia Sheng Yue Temple, I also rushed over when I heard the rumor that there was a corpse here, but I didn't see anything, as the police officer saw, there was no corpse here. Shi Lian presided over and said, it turned out that the young monk outside was named Chuan Nian.

"What do you mean, is your disciple lying?" asked Mizumatsuki with a frown.

"How is that possible! I saw the body of the female pilgrim lying here before......! Why is it missing now!" At this time, Chuannian also came in, and when he heard the conversation between Shi Lian and Shui Jianyue, he pointed to the ground and shouted.

Following his fingers, Mizuma Moon was startled, it turned out that he was standing where there was a corpse, and hurriedly jumped to the side.

"What about the corpse?" Shui Jianyue looked at the monk Chuannian and Shi Lian with unkind eyes, there are only these two monks on this mountain, these two people are either Chuannian deceiving himself, or Shi Lian hid the body, or the two of them are playing with the police.

"I don't know......" Chuannian lowered his head aggrievedly.

"There are no bodies at all. Shi Lian said categorically.

Mizuma opened one of the two sliding doors, and it was a room that was almost indistinguishable from this one, and of course there were no corpses.

Shiratori went to open another door, exactly the same as the situation on Mizumatsuki's side.

This room is a large square room divided by four doors in the character "Tian", so Mizuma and Shiratori finally meet diagonally in the first room.

There were no bodies in the four rooms, and not even a drop of blood was found, which made Mizuma Moon and Shiratori look at the two monks even more unkindly.

Especially Shiratori, he once investigated a case of Shanni Temple, that is, the case of presiding over the murder of the big disciple, and the junior disciple killing the presiding officer, after that, his innate perception of the monk was not very good.

The other police officers finally ran up and crawled up half-dead, but they were just paralyzed on the ground like dead dogs, obviously unable to work immediately, Mizuma Yue was itching his teeth while thinking about letting them run and practice sooner or later in the future.

"Again, what kind of corpse you saw. Mizuma Moon commanded the preaching.

"Well...... This morning I came to deliver food to this pilgrim, and as soon as I came in, I saw her lying on her side in the middle of the room, with a large tatami mat soaked with blood under her, and a knife stuck in her abdomen, with a very hideous expression. While reminiscing, Chuannian told the story of how he found the body.

I was so frightened that I even knocked over my food, so I hurriedly went to tell the master, and then ran down the hill to call the police. Chuannian continued.

"The body is gone, what about the female pilgrim?" Mizuma asked again.

"Where are there any female pilgrims?" said Shi Lian, the host, stunned.

"Master, have you forgotten? I came to visit you last night, and you asked me to show her the population register of the temple over the years, and I cried when I looked at her, and then I left first, and you arranged her in the guest room!"

"Oh oh oh! You're talking about her, she did come, but she left early this morning, didn't I tell you?"

"Let's go...... Gone?" Chuannian looked incredulous: "But I obviously saw her corpse!"

"I said Chuannian, are you sleepy?" Shi Lian said suddenly: "Did you have some strange dreams, but you haven't been able to distinguish between reality and dreams yet?"

"Uh...... This ......" Chuannian did not immediately deny the opinion of the host Shi Lian, and it seems that Chuannian himself seems to have some similar antecedents.

The police officers finally regained their ability to move, and without the need for Mizuma Tsuki's urging, they divided their own labor to conduct a detailed review of the guest rooms, and did not even ask for the consent of the host Shi Lian.

After basic photographing and forensics, the police and forensic officers did not hesitate to start a reckless search.

To be honest, the members of the forensic department who were trained by Mizuma Moon surveyed it was more like demolishing a house. The tatami mats were all opened, the paper sliding doors were removed, and the luminol reagent was sprayed everywhere like no money.

"Well, can you not mess with the statue of Nioh?" the host stopped Nakamura Yan, who was about to take the statue out of the glass cabinet, "The ancient and precious Buddha statues are one thing, and on the other hand, if they easily disturb them, they will be condemned." “

"Police Department ......" Nakamura Yan looked at Mizuma in embarrassment.

"If the Buddha is disturbed, I will personally fast, bathe, burn incense, and ask for sin, but now it is better to search. Mizuma Yue politely but could not refuse to preside over Shi Lian: "And I don't think a benevolent bodhisattva will not resent people who work hard, right?" Mizuma Yue couldn't figure out whether the Nioh in the four corners of the room was a Buddha or a Bodhisattva, or if Nioh was Nioh, and he didn't know what to do if he wanted to apologize, but he didn't plan to apologize at all, because he didn't believe in Buddhism at all......

With the support of the police department, Nakamura Yan was much more confident, and confidently opened the lid of the glass box and gently held out the statue of Nioh.

The bottom of the glass cabinet is also transparent glass, through which you can see the clean tatami mats underneath, and even because of the glass cover, the tatami mats below are newer than the next one.

Carefully turning over the statue of Nioh, Nakamura Yan did not see the mezzanine or other structures on the statue of Nioh as he wished, although disappointed but still restored the statue of Nioh, and then walked to the statue of Nioh in another corner.

"Alas...... It seems that the poor monk has to tell the truth. Seeing the appearance of the police officers making a big move, the host Shi Lian sighed.

"What's wrong?" Mizumayue looked at your performance quietly, and estimated in her heart that Ann's usual experience this host definitely didn't want to confess.

"Actually...... There weren't any female pilgrims visiting last night. Shi Lian's words were amazing.

"Master, what are you talking about?" Chuan Nian was completely confused.

"I said that there were no female pilgrims in the temple last night, and that you were just chasing the figure of your mother, who had long since died. Shi Lian glanced at Chuan Nian with pity.

"How...... How could it be ......" Hearing the host mention his mother, Chuan Nian didn't believe it even more.

This is Kato Kumanshin tiptoeing over, stuffing a worry in a bag of evidence into Mizuma Yue's hand, and Mizuma Yue, who was concentrating on watching Shi Lian's performance, took it without even looking at it, and waved him away by the way.

"That's the way it is, when you came in a hurry in the morning, I thought it was a woman who got lost here at night, so I went to see it when you reported the crime, but after seeing nothing, I thought that you saw the phantom of your mother, but I took pity on you, so I catered to your statement and deceived the police officers that there were indeed female pilgrims, and that the female pilgrims had left, and now they couldn't stand the condemnation of their conscience, so they had to tell the truth. "Host Shi Lian looked very sad for his apprentice.

Mizumayue pursed her lips, presiding over this sentence in two ways, which can be understood as the hallucination of the monk who misses his deceased mother too much, or it can be understood that his deceased mother misses her son too much...... Well, haunted.

When he was disdainful, Mizuma Moon looked down at the evidence handed over by Kato Kumashin in the process, and suddenly almost laughed, feeling that everything in the world was really created and tricked.

"This ...... How is that possible...... I'm ...... I saw a woman...... I don't know her...... Abdominal knife ...... Blood flowed all over the ground...... "Chuannian couldn't accept this answer, and kept muttering about what he saw.

"Are you still not satisfied?" "Host Shi Lian looked angry: "Cheer me up and apologize to the police officers who have worked hard because of you!"

"Right...... I'm sorry. "The transmission is completely reflexive, and Shi Lian immediately apologized when he said he apologized.

"Don't apologize in a hurry...... "Mizuma Yue played with the things in his hand, "If it's just an illusion according to the host, then is this thing the host's unique hobby?"

"This, this, this ......" the host was speechless for a moment, because what Mizuma Yue was fiddling with was part of an earring that the forensic staff had found through the gap in the tatami mat.
