Maori and his party were deeply impressed by the old monk's intimidation, and they all looked at him with squinted eyes at the moment, and the latter coughed embarrassedly, put down his chopsticks, twisted his beard and sighed, "I said that I missed my mouth." But it doesn't hurt to tell them about this kind of thing. ”

He turned to the four aliens, lowered his voice, and told mysteriously:

"It's just an old legend that is not believable: on rainy nights like this, youkai called Kiritengu sneak into the village like a fog, break through the walls, and plunder the good people of the house, hanging them as food on high branches. The captives were all girls with fine skin and tender flesh—"

He suddenly raised his hand and pointed to Xiaolan, who was afraid of the cold, with his hands around his chest, "Yes, such as you!" ”

"Wow!!" , Xiaolan's whole body was terrified, her hair was about to explode, and she shrank down beside Maori Kogoro.

The latter looked at her with disgust, and sent a mouthful of food to his mouth very indifferently, chewing it, "It's just a legend, what are you afraid of!" ”

"I ...... I'm not afraid. Xiaolan sat back in her place, picked up her chopsticks, and pretended that nothing had happened just now.

But at this time, the honest Mu Nian remembered something, and said with an ugly expression, "This is not all legends, two years ago, strange things happened in our temple......

"Mu Nian!" , Kuan Nian interrupted him sharply, Mu Nian glanced at Kuan Nian and closed his mouth in disdain.

"If you have something weird, you can tell us about it." , Bai Shu sandwiched a chopsticks to pickle radish, pointed to Maori Kogoro while eating, and said skillfully:

"Mr. Maori is very good at solving puzzles, and he is a detective who has been in the limelight recently, if you tell me, maybe we can solve it directly."

"That's right, that's right!" , Mori Kogoro was praised for his comfort, touched the back of his head, and let out his trademark "hahaha" laughter.

"You're that 'Sleeping Kogoro?!' Several little monks had actually heard of his name, and after being shocked, they came to his side, looked at him expectantly, and said, "Then you may be able to solve this mystery!" ”

"Yes, yes, there was a young monk two years ago ......"

Bang –

"Quiet!" , the old monk hammered his fist to the table, and he was not allowed to make noise during fasting! ”

"Master......", the little monks have lived with him for several years, and they have never seen him speak in such a tone, and they are all stunned for a while, looking at him like a wooden man.

In the suddenly quiet air, the old monk withdrew his hand and looked around before his tone eased slightly:

"Didn't you say that you are not allowed to mention that incident again, and the monks should keep their word."

“…… Be. ”

The three little monks never dared to mention this topic again.

And although their attitude is strange and very suspicious, after all, this is someone else's family matter, and Maori Kogoro is not easy to manage, so they have to comfort themselves in their hearts: anyway, they are just passing by for a day, and they will leave the next day, and it is none of their business.

After the meal, the old monk got up and straightened his clothes and turned to Maori Kogoro:

"Mr. Detective, the room has been cleaned up, you can have a good rest tonight, but tomorrow morning, you must leave, this is the rule in our temple."

Mori Kogoro nodded confusedly, "Okay." ”

After the old monk left, Mu Nian and Xiu Nian stayed behind to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and Kuan Nian took them to the room without saying a word.

Although the fee was charged per person, the old monk did not give them four rooms, and the four of them could only make up one night in one room.

Kan Nian dragged four sets of cleaned bedding from the closet, spread them out on the tatami mats, and then left with his palms closed.

The cover was still clean, and Shiraki took off his coat, lay down in his coat, listened to the sound of rain and waterfalls outside, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

…… Then in the middle of the night, I was awakened by a squirming movement.

Bai Shu opened his eyes and saw that Xiao Lan had sat up at some point.

She hugged the quilt and sat under the silent gaze of the white tree for a long time, before she seemed to have made up her mind, pushed away the quilt little by little, and slowly walked to the door in the dark.

Xiaolan fumbled to find the doorknob, grabbed it and pushed it to the side.

The old wooden door made a very loud "crunch-" sound, Xiaolan's whole person was trembling, and she almost took off on the spot, and after landing, she screamed, pulled her legs and ran in the direction of her bed.

However, it is not easy to move forward in the dark.

Bai Shu watched her go in the wrong direction and came by herself.

When Xiaolan broke out, the speed was extremely fast, and before Bai Shu could remind her, she had tripped over Bai Shu's cover and fell hard.

Relying on his ability to see at night, the white tree slipped away in advance.

Maori Kogoro next to him avoided it, and was slammed by a heavy object in his dream, and sat down with a snort, "What's wrong?" What's wrong?! ”

"......", Bai Shu turned on the simple flashlight attached to the phone and glanced at the screen by the way.

It was just after two o'clock in the morning.

He rubbed his eyes and pretended to wake up, "What's wrong?" ”

Conan was finally awakened by the movements, he got up in a daze, touched his glasses, and asked while wearing them, "What's the matter?" ”

Xiaolan struggled to get up, her face flushed, tugged at Maori Kogoro's sleeve, and said like a mosquito, "Come with me to the bathroom." ”

Conan was a little more energetic, looked at her for a moment, and understood in seconds, "Sister Xiaolan, you don't really believe that there is any foggy tengu, right?" ”

"I didn't! It's just that...... This temple is so remote that in case, in case a thief slips into the bathroom, it is very unsafe for me to be alone. Xiaolan tried hard to make it up, she twisted her long hair hanging down from her sideburns, and stumbled when she spoke.

Maori Kogoro said twice, and he understands his daughter's fear of ghosts.

He didn't say anything more, dragged his sleepy body to get up, and followed Xiaolan, "Let's go." ”

Conan also slipped out of the bed, "Sister Xiaolan, I'll be with you too!" ”

"Well, thank you Conan!"

"Then I'll stay and take care of the valuables." , Bai Shu lay back and pulled the quilt to his chin, "You guys go early and come back early." ”

The toilet team muttered to the bathroom.

A few minutes later, Shiraki was through the door and heard a faint scream from Mori Kogoro: "Ah——!! ”

Although he knew that there was nothing wrong, in order to show his surprise appropriately, he still sat up with his arms propped up despite his sleepiness, and after the three of them came back, he looked at the door in surprise, "Is there really a thief?" ”

"Not really." , Xiaolan was in a good mood, her face was not red anymore, she covered her mouth and snickered, "There is a mask of a foggy tengu in the bathroom, I took it and slapped my father from behind, and then he ......"

"Shut up, unfilial girl!" , Maori Kogoro stopped it with a faceless voice, "I'm not afraid of ghosts!" I just wanted to warn you that there was danger, so I shouted that! ”

"Okay, okay, you're right." , Xiaolan yawned boredly, and got into the bed, "Then I'll sleep first, Dad, if you want to go to the bathroom, you can call me, good night." ”

"Good night." , Shiraki ignored Maori Kogoro "Children are afraid of foggy tengu!" He snarled angrily, turned off his flashlight, put his phone back away, and closed his eyes.

This time, until the next day, there was no more disturbing dreams.
