The group walked through the main hall to the side near the waterfall, and the sound of water rumbled overhead.

Gao Cheng rubbed his stomach and looked in the direction of the smelly kitchen, and walked behind Conan into a strange room with a lock, the ceiling was several stories high, and there was a small window on it, and the interior walls were almost all wood-paneled with thick paint.

"Little Master," Mori Kogoro said curiously, "what is this room for?" ”

Kuan Nian seemed to be very nervous, and was silent and did not speak, but that Xiu Nian came from outside and explained: "This is the practice room, I heard that the monks who have broken the vows in the past are locked up in this place, let them reflect on it...... Before I entered the temple, I heard that there was another incident here......"

"Say no more, Xiunian!" Kuan Nian shouted, "This kind of thing shouldn't be told to guests!" Didn't Master ask you to help in the kitchen? ”

"Ah, I didn't have much help and came here." Xiunian touched the back of her head in admitting her mistake, "I'm sorry......"

"Let's go see the waterfall, right next to this room." Kuan Nian changed the subject.

This kind of nervous look, even if nothing was originally concerned, Gao Cheng couldn't help but look at the practice room again, and then walked down the stairs to the waterfall above.

There is a small balcony outside the training room, right in the small window, and the waterfall is within reach, and the raised rocks divide the waterfall into several strands, one of which falls on the balcony plank, and the mountain cherry blossoms float down with the water, which is quite elegant.

However, it is also very dangerous, and there is a deep valley below the wooden platform, and it will definitely be more than lucky to fall.

"It's amazing!" Xiaolan excitedly held the water flow, "The waterfall is really right in front of you!" ”

"Be careful, even though the planks are laid, slipping is still dangerous." Kuan Nian reminded.

"Huh?" Conan stood by the waterfall and suddenly looked back in confusion.

Today he always felt that someone was watching him, and the temple here was also strange, as if there were really some ghosts watching them in the dark......

"It's almost time for us to go back," Kuan Nian said, "I think dinner should be ready." ”

In a quaint dining hall, there is a small square table in front of everyone, and everyone has their own dish, although it is only a meal, it still looks delicious.

Gao Cheng floated silently to the side, looking at Xiaolan who was talking and laughing with the monks, this feeling of not being able to eat, his stomach was even hungrier than before.

Let's see if there's anything to eat in the kitchen......

The kitchen is not far from the dining place, and after a short corridor it arrives, but there are no dishes, Gao Cheng opened the rice bucket and found that there was still a lot of rice.

"Offended."

With his hands folded and apologized, Gao Cheng couldn't wait to fill himself with a bowl of rice, he was hungry for most of the day, even if it was just rice, it was like a delicacy from the mountains and the sea.

"That," Conan was not in the mood to eat, so he took two bites and asked the monks, "I've been curious since just now, what exactly is the Foggy Tengu?" ”

The monks' originally happy faces suddenly changed.

"Little brother, who did you listen to?"

"I'm sorry, I said I slipped my mouth," the old monk said, "Little brother, that's just an old legend that is not believable, and the tengu will sneak into the village like a fog on a rainy night, and use the brute force of a strong man to break through the walls of the house and take people away......

"It is an ancient youkai that uses its feet to climb towering trees, hang corpses, and then eat human flesh."

The old monk looked at Xiaolan with a terrifying expression: "All the young girls who were captured by it are young girls with fine skin and tender meat, yes, just like this girl......"

When Xiaolan looked nervous, the old monk suddenly smiled again: "But this is just an ancient legend, you don't have to take it to heart at all." ”

"But," Mu Nian, who was silent on the side, said in a cold sweat, "This matter is not all ancient legends, the same strange thing happened two years ago......

"What kind of strange thing is that?" Conan saw that these monks were not very willing to elaborate, and hurriedly looked at Maori Kogoro and said, "Uncle, can you ask them to explain in detail, you are a detective Maori Kogoro, maybe you can find out something." ”

"Detective?"

"Mori Kogoro?"

The old monk lost his composure on his face and looked at Mori Kogoro with a fixed expression.

Even in the mountains, they often hang out in rubber boats, and they are no strangers to the two detectives who have recently made a name for themselves in Tokyo.

"It turned out to be the famous detective Mori Kogoro who is as famous as the modern left script......"

"Ahh ”

"Is that more powerful than the modern left text? Great Detective, you should be able to solve that mystery from two years ago! Several monks scrambled to surround Mori Kogoro.

"Actually, there was a young monk two years ago......"

"Shut it all up!" The old monk suddenly reacted strongly and scolded, "Have you all forgotten the agreement that you can't mention that incident again?" ”

"But, the abbot ......"

"That's it! That's the end of dinner! Go back to your room and get ready for bed! The old monk stood up in a deep voice, paused, and said to Maori Kogoro, "Mr. Detective, although you are staying at this temple, you have to leave early tomorrow morning, so please rest early." ”

"What's going on?" Even the high CD in the kitchen heard the commotion in the dining hall, and it seemed that the banquet dispersed quite unpleasantly.

Seeing that a monk came to the kitchen, Gao Cheng hurriedly packed up his things.

Although I haven't eaten enough, that's all I can do......

"Master has rarely been so angry...... Mu Nian and the others returned to the kitchen with the dishes and chopsticks, not in the mood to care about Gao Cheng absentmindedly passing by.

The strange atmosphere made Gao Cheng vigilant.

He hadn't forgotten that there would be an incident here, and that's why he came all the way to the mud temple......

As the night deepened, the Maori people were arranged in a room for guests to sleep, and only Gao Cheng was still floating in the corridor.

On the one hand, because of possible cases, on the other hand, there is no place to sleep.

The temperature here at night is very low, even if you float around in the aisles, you feel cold, and you can't sleep without a quilt......

"Conan," Lan's voice came from inside the room, "if you're scared, you can come to my bed......

"Damn!"

Gao Cheng shrunk back, roughly confirmed the room where everyone was, and floated straight to the toilet.

Hungry and cold, he still needs to go to the toilet, he finally understands why it is called a camouflage card instead of a transformation card, what really changes is only a small part, just like the last time he became a child, his physical strength has also dropped to the level of a child, and this time his body has become lighter......

"Huh?"

There was a mask hanging at the door of the toilet as an ornament, with a red face and a long white beard, which looked a bit like the old monk, but the nose was even higher, and the eyes were grinning, and it looked strange and scary.

"The mask of the Kiritengu? Why is it in the toilet here? ”

Gao Cheng took the mask and looked at it, and suddenly found that the little monk passed through the corridor, and finally entered the old monk's room at the end.

The old monk hadn't slept yet, and he was drunkenly holding a wine gourd: "Xiu Nian, you come...... Do what? ”

"Master," Xiu Nian saw that the old monk was already drunk, and hurriedly asked, "Why didn't you tell Mr. Detective about that?" Maybe we can find out what ......."

"That's why I can't say it," the old monk snorted as he sipped his wine, "and if that matter is known to the detectives, I'll be finished." ”

"Why?" Xiu Nian said anxiously, "Could it be that the incident two years ago was Master's ......?"

"That's right," the old monk came up and gushed endlessly, "It's all bad to be loyal to that guy, my granddaughter Ju Nai is already engaged to the heir of the big temple, but he actually plans to elope with Ju Nai...... How can I get him to snatch Kikuno? ”

Xiu Nian's face was frightened, and he looked at the complacent old monk in disbelief: "So the master imitated the legend of the foggy tengu and killed Zhongnian?" How, how can this be......

"Master!" The little monk Xiunian pleaded in pain, "Please go and turn yourself in!" ”

"It's been two years ago, and there is no evidence left at all," the old monk seemed to sober up a little, and stood up with his back to Xiu Nian and said, "Besides, thanks to the blessing of that incident, our temple has also become famous because this is a temple infested by foggy dogs......"

Gao Cheng quietly leaned against the door, and saw the shadows of the two monks through the window paper, and there was a faint smell of wine.

This matter is indeed a bit troublesome, two years have passed, and there is no way to take the old monk without evidence, and the old monk can only turn himself in.

Now he is a "ghost", and if he thinks of a way, he may be able to ......

"Hmm!" A sudden violent struggle in the room interrupted Gao Cheng's thinking, and under the light, Xiu Nian actually strangled the old monk's neck from behind.

"Stop, Xiunian!" Gao Cheng opened the door urgently.

"Huh?" Xiu Nian shuddered and woke up, let go of Abbot Tianyong in a daze, and looked back at the empty door.

There was no half of them, and everyone else was still sleeping in their rooms, as if the sound they had just heard was just an illusion......

"Whew!"

After the impulse of anger subsided, Xiu Nian no longer bothered to wonder how the door could open by itself, and instead looked at the old monk who kept coughing at his feet with shortness of breath, a little at a loss.

Fortunately, the old monk has not yet come to his senses, and he still looks drunk and doesn't know why: "Xiu Nian, why can't I almost catch my breath, help me quickly." ”

Xiu Nian paused beside him for a while, then swallowed his saliva, gasped and helped the old monk to the side, and then closed the door and left with a heavy heart.
