Conan: When I Be Gin's Brother

Chapter 136, the abbot of Tianming who hanged himself

The required material is the Crow Tengu's toes, but it's impossible to kill this little guy right here.

After all, it looks quite cute, so I might as well take it back and leave it to Hongzi to deal with.

Kurosawa Rin thought this way and took the cage containing the Crow Tengu that Mu Nian handed over.

The little black thing inside realized his situation now, and shrank into a small ball again, leaning tightly against the corner of the cage, looking really pitiful.

The rain was still falling and the wind was strong. Narumi covered up her thin kimono and tugged on Kurosawa Rin's sleeves: "Now that you've found it, why don't you go back first? It's too cold outside!"

Kurosawa Rin sneezed and nodded, "Well, go back now!"

The three people walked back along the road back. Before they got close, they saw a figure standing far away on the platform on the side of the temple. He jumped up, and a rope hung him around his neck.

on the railing.

It was difficult to see clearly from a distance, and only vague figures could be seen on a heavy rainy day, but at this time the three of them knew that something must have happened in the temple.

"That is!"

Mu Nian looked at the blurry shadow in horror, Kurosawa Rin's eyes darkened slightly, "Ningshi, let's go back quickly."

"Um!"

Seeing the two people walking away in front of him, Mu Nian regained consciousness and quickly chased after them.

"Hey! Someone come quickly!"

Mu Nian subconsciously shouted the names of others, but Kurosawa Rin ignored them, walked through the atrium, and rushed to the waterfall platform first.

"It's too late..." Kurosawa Rin looked at the swaying body under the railing and was silent for a while.

The corpse was that of Abbot Tianming. His neck was hung by a rope and stretched very long, his tongue was sticking out, and his eyes were wide.

The corpse was hung under the waterfall, and the water flow split in two by the stone hit the host's body, and the rushing water flowed down from the toes of the host Tianming in mid-air.

The people behind heard the sound and rushed over. Seeing the scene in front of them, they all looked horrified.

"ah!!!"

"Abbot!!"

"It's Abbot Tianming!!"

"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you put the person down quickly!" Maoli waved his hand and looked at the other people behind him.

"Yes!!" Mu Nian and Kuan Nian quickly stepped forward and put down Abbot Tianming's body.

Putting his hand on his neck to explore, Mao Li gritted his teeth and shook his head helplessly:

"Already dead..."

Xiaolan covered her mouth, "How could this happen? We were eating together just now."

Several monks also bowed their heads deeply, their faces full of grief.

"How could Abbot Tianming commit suicide..." Mu Nian knelt on the ground, still unable to believe the facts in front of him.

Conan, who was observing next to the corpse, was stunned when he heard this: "Suicide? Why is it called suicide?"

Mu Nian's expression was still sad: "Because, we saw with our own eyes Abbot Tianming jumped by himself..."

"Jump down by yourself?" Conan looked suspicious: "Where did you see it?"

"On the way back to the temple, it was raining heavily, but from a distance we could see someone on the stage. Before we could see clearly, the person jumped down and hanged himself here," Mu Nian recalled.

.

"The two guests who were with me at the beginning should also have seen it."

Conan's eyes turned to Kurosawa Rin and Narumi, and Mori also looked at the two with questioning eyes.

"Linjun, is it true?" Xiaolan asked.

"Well, it's true. We did see someone jump from it and then be hung on the fence."

After receiving Kurosawa Rin's affirmation, Maori was silent for a while: "I didn't expect that I would commit suicide. What was the reason for this sudden..."

Conan observed the scene and recalled Abbot Tianming's every move before. No matter how he thought about it, he did not look like someone who was about to seek death.

Something is wrong, Abbot Tianming's death should not have been suicide.

Conan's eyes shone slightly, and he returned to carefully observing the abbot who had just hanged himself in the morning.

Sure enough, he found strange scratches at the bottom of that section of fence, which made his suspicions deepen.

Watching Conan begin to investigate the scene, Kurosawa Rin took a general look and found that there were indeed many suspicious points on the body. The marks on it were more like someone strangled him to death with a rope from behind, rather than hanging himself to death.

Although the two sound similar, Kurosawa Rin knows that there are still some subtle differences: the mark of strangulation is usually below the Adam's apple, while the mark of hanging is usually above the Adam's apple.

Based on this alone, plus a little bit of intuition, he had guessed who the murderer was, but the specific method was not very clear.

Should we take action to resolve this incident?

Kurosawa Rin looked at the black severed hand on his hand, thought for a moment, silently took off the glove on his left hand, stepped forward and squatted in front of the body.

Then there's...touch.

He touched his neck and rolled his eyelids. In the eyes of outsiders, he might just be carefully examining the body. In fact, Kurosawa Rin was trying to trigger the ability to go back in time.

After finding the source of magic power, he has maintained a "full state". This time he wanted to try whether his ability to go back in time would change after finding the source of magic power.

And after returning this time, he was going to see Koizumi Anko. At that time, he happened to take a few bottles of dissolving medicine and ask Koizumi Anko about his next practice method after finding the source of magic power.

Although Kurosawa Rin didn't touch it for too long this time, it still took about ten minutes.

Didn't you see Conan's insane expression just now... He just wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

Fortunately, time backtracking was successfully triggered.

There was another familiar dizziness, and a large amount of information poured into my mind like a revolving lantern.

Feeling sick and having a headache, Kurosawa Rin sorted out everything he saw in his mind, and the corners of his mouth, grinning in pain, turned up slightly into a smile.

That’s how it turns out…

Maori finally checked the scene to no avail, and ultimately determined it to be suicide.

"My condolences, Abbot Tianming committed suicide because he could not think about it for a moment..." Mao Li opened his mouth, but before he could say any words of comfort, he heard Kurosawa Rin's voice behind him.

Kurosawa Rin held up the mobile phone: "Hello? Is this Officer Megure?"

"This is the Shanniji Temple on the upper reaches of the Tama River. A murder occurred. Please come over quickly~"

Mao Li was immediately startled, "Hey, why did you call the police? It's just an ordinary suicide, so there's no need for the police to come."

"No, this is definitely a murder." Kurosawa Rin shook his head and looked at Maori, still maintaining a relaxed smile.

"And I already understand the murderer, the motive, the modus operandi, and the strange death a year ago."

"Do you understand everything?"

"Including the incident a year ago?!"

Conan looked in disbelief, with shock written all over his face.
