Chapter 121: The Identity of the Foggy Heavenly Dog
Soon, everyone came to the nearest practice room to the waterfall, and saw the elder brother with weak legs sitting by the door.
Seeing the others surrounding him, the senior brother shivered and pointed upwards and said in a trembling voice, "Yes, it's the masterpiece of the Foggy Tengu!" ”
Everyone looked up, and it turned out that the old monk had ascended permanently, and he was hung on a beam nearly ten meters above the ground of the practice room like a meat sausage fluttering in the wind, and his dead eyeballs were covered with bloodshots.
Mao Lilan skillfully called the police, and Officer Twilight skillfully rushed to the scene.
Officer Twilight examines the corpse and the surroundings as he looks at the two older brothers and one sister in front of him with joy.
Especially looking at Brother Amamiya and Sister Iwanaga...... Miss Iwanaga is happy.
Although it is said that Mori Kogoro's brain has improved a lot since he got his senses, and he has solved a lot of cases for them, completely changing his impression that he is quite unreliable in the eyes of Officer Twilight.
But in terms of speed, it's still a weird way to solve the case, but the detective combination of Toru Amamiya and Kotoko Iwanaga, who always point out the murderer efficiently, is a little better.
"The one who hanged himself was the presiding monk Tianyong of this temple, and the estimated time of death was 10 o'clock ~ 12 o'clock last night, and the body was found by the monk of this temple, Master Kuannian, right?"
Officer Twilight skillfully coordinated all the circumstances at the scene of the crime, and looked back at his brothers, his eyes narrowing with joy.
While this may damage the prestige of the Tokyo police to some extent, it is undeniable that these police officers really have to rely on detectives to solve cases in many cases.
Really, why should these smart people let the police be inappropriate and be detectives! If they were all able to join their own police team, the reputation of the police would not be so bad......
Several monks in the temple panicked and told everything they knew about the incident two years ago, with unconcealable fear in their eyes.
"Police Department! Sure enough, just like two years ago, Feng Liang on both sides was covered with dust, and no traces of contact could be found. ”
"There are some traces of dust falling from the place where the rope is wound in the middle, but there are no traces of dragging......"
The little policeman climbed up to the beams of the house with great difficulty to inspect it, reported what he had observed, and gave his own opinion in passing.
"Will this time be a suicide too?"
"The dead old monk's body is quite heavy, it is impossible to carry them up, if you pull the deceased up with a rope wrapped around the neck, there will be traces of movement on the beam......"
The little policeman tentatively said his analysis, and his small eyes moved to glance at the detectives next to him from time to time.
Conan lowered his face and observed the various clues around him, mentally counting all the omissions of this incident.
No matter how much you try to imitate ancient legends, no one will go out of their way to hang themselves and dig such a big hole in the wall.
And such a huge hole, if an ordinary person wants to make it, then he may not be able to sleep well all night, right?
Then the object of suspicion should be the four monks who did not wake up......
How do you feel that your reasoning is useless at all, since it is a murder case, then the murderer must be between these four monks.
Could it be Toru Amamiya? But he had no motive to do such a thing, and at the same time there was no evidence......
Conan subconsciously glanced at Toru Amamiya, and then relied on his too short height to notice him and Kotoko Iwanaga's muddy feet for the first time.
Conan:!
Conan remembers that yesterday, Toru Amamiya's shoes were still clean, but today they have become like this, which only proves that Toru Amamiya did not simply stay in the room last night.
And this hole in the words...... If you rely on Toru Amamiya's force, which may seem a little more ferocious than her own Xiaolan sister, it seems that it is not impossible to make it in one night.
In addition, Toru Amamiya said yesterday that he had come here as a tourist to investigate the Kiritengu incident.
He didn't come here unprepared, Toru Amamiya had come for some unknown purpose......
Could it be that the murderer in this case is Toru Amamiya? Conan was shocked and silently approached Toru Amamiya, trying to persuade him to turn himself in...... No, it's about asking about the circumstances of the case.
"Amamiya, tell you the truth, is this case related to you?" Conan doggyly touched Toru Amamiya's side and asked his own question.
What? We went out last night to cheat on the ghost?
No, I guess I can see that we weren't in the temple last night, so we suspect that we are the murderers......
Toru Amamiya and Kotoko Iwanaga gave him a strange look and gave him a fist in unison.
"Little ghost, I know these cases may be a bit difficult for you, but you might as well take a closer look......"
"And do you think I'll leave you such an obvious clue if I wanted to kill someone?"
Toru Amamiya grabbed Conan's collar and threw him out of the training room through the cracked hole.
Conan didn't stand still, lying on the ground grinning.
…… It seems to be right, Toru Amamiya knows his identity and ability, and it is impossible to kill people in front of him in such a simple way.
What's going on with yourself? Why does Toru Amamiya involuntarily suspect that he is the murderer every time he is on an occasion?
Could it be because he has some kind of strange murderer aura around him?
Wait a minute...... This is too metaphysical, I'm a detective who should pay attention to evidence and Kexue!
- However, what Toru Amamiya said is indeed right, he does have too many clues that he has not observed, such as this place where the hole is broken, why is there no fragmentation at all......?
And this ashram is so damp, do these monks like to do penance in such a damp place?
But it wasn't so wet here yesterday! Yesterday there was just some mist that was unavoidable near the waterfall......
Today, there are almost all the water stains on the ground that have not dried out.
Is it ......? Conan jerked back through the hole and looked up at the ceiling.
The deceased was hanging from the ceiling, and there were few other marks on the beams, as if he had been hoisted by some flying creature.
In this world of Kexue, murderers can't fly.
But if you "float", you can still do it.
Therefore, the modus operandi has been clarified, so all that remains is to identify the murderer and find evidence......
"The murderer should be you! Xiunian monk. ”
Conan: Σ(?д?||)??
A group of police officers plus a Maori father and daughter: (⊙o⊙)
was notified by the police of his grandfather's death.,The granddaughter of the Tianyong monk who just walked into the temple:Σ┗(@ロ@; )┛
Xiunian Monk: "(oДo*)
"The modus operandi is that Monk Xiunian filled this practice room with a wooden plank and used a rubber boat in the temple to carry the dead monk Tianyong to the beam, so that there would be no additional traces on the beam."
"That's why the floors and walls in the house are wetter than they were a few days ago."
"You can also check the water stains and fresh flower petals on the wooden planks upstairs, which are evidence that the planks were recently used to divert water from the waterfall."
"And this case is almost the same as it was two years ago, so there are only two scenarios that can be considered."
"Serial killings and imitation crimes."
"Through the reaction of Monk Tianyong when he learned the identities of me and Mr. Maori's detectives, and the words of their conflict over Ms. Kikuno's marriage in the incident two years ago."
"It should be the monk Tianyong who committed the crime two years ago, no problem, right?"
"And it just so happens that I have learned a little bit of information here through human means, and Monk Xiunian should be the brother of Monk Zhongnian who died two years ago."
There are many complex causes and effects behind the whole incident, but I just want to know the murderer of the old monk.
These reasonings alone are sufficient.
Toru Amamiya glanced behind him, and the misty tengu was looking at his younger brother with a look of grief and anguish.
Yes, this misty tengu is the loyal monk of the year.
