Conan’s World Stand-in

"Boom!—"

A thunderstorm accompanied by lightning sounded just at this moment, and the electric light illuminated several people at the entrance of the entrance.

"Fog, foggy tengu... No, it's impossible, where can there be such a monster, it's the age of science now."

"Yeah yeah, what kind of ghosts and monsters are hot, they don't exist at all, right?"

Guan Dounan and Hattori Heiji were both very shocked at this time, but they were forcing their mouths to be tough, and they looked like a high school boy who was scared but wanted to maintain his boldness.

There is a witcher like Hattori Heiji here, no matter what kind of monster you are, you have to fall when you come. If it's not a ghost, but a substitute messenger, then the substitute is also used to solve it. As for if it turns out that it's just another subtle way of committing a crime... then call 110.

As for whether both of them are acting, or whether someone is really acting like this... Well, it doesn't matter for the time being.

"Ah, I talked a lot for a while, and said something that shouldn't be said... How about it? Do you want to decide to stay? Or go outside to soak in the rain?" The old man returned to his normal expression and asked the two of them.

"In that case, I'd better stay here. However, can we wait until we leave tomorrow morning to pay the money, anyway, it's raining outside and we won't slip away halfway..."

Anyway, we will investigate the truth of the case tomorrow, and we will probably call the police over there, and then report his extortion to the police...Heiji Hattori thinks so, even if it is found out that the case has nothing to do with the monks in the temple, It is also possible to make that client pay for their room and board.

"Well... Okay. The old man is the abbot of this temple, and his name is Tianyong. Let me introduce you to the other monks who practiced in this temple." The old abbot looked at Guan Dounan and the others, nodded and agreed to their request. They met several other monks in the temple.

There are only five monks in this Shanni Temple. Apart from the old abbot, there are only four young monks in their teens and twenties. They are monks Kuannian who have practiced the longest and look beautiful. He is very good at cooking and looks very honest and honest; monk Mu Nian with a long face and a long face; and Xiu Nian, who wears a pair of glasses and does not look very smart. monk.

When he heard the name Xiunian, Guan Dounan suddenly thought of a clever person with the same name.

Hmm... it should be just a coincidence.

First put the sick Conan in the guest room and let him rest for a while. Guan Dounan and Conan visited this unremarkable Shanni Temple under the guidance of the monks, and the inside of the temple... is indeed not amazing, basically just some ordinary The things that the temple should have, such as the Buddha hall Buddha statue merit box and the like.

However, on the side of the temple, there is a terrace that can directly see the waterfall that is flying down. It should be good to watch the scenery there when the weather is good during the day.

"This room is..."

After going downstairs, next to the terrace is a building that looks like a tower, but not very much like a tower. The ceiling seems to be more than ten meters high, but it is not layered, and there are no additional windows. There is only a small vent at the top. The walls inside are also made of painted wooden boards, which makes people feel kind of uncomfortable feeling.

"This is the training room. I heard that the monks who violated the precepts in the past were locked in this place to reflect. However, since I entered the temple, I have not seen anyone using this place. I heard that it was because of the foggy dog..." Monk Xiunen told Hattori Heiji He explained to Guan Dounan, but he was interrupted by the monk Kuan Nian next to him when he was only halfway through.

"Don't talk about Xiunian." Kuanian's expression was a little nervous, as if Xiunian had mentioned something that couldn't be mentioned, "Don't tell the guests about such mysterious things, let's take them to another place."

This kind of ambiguous attitude, basically everyone can detect something wrong, Guan Dounan and Hattori Heiji looked at each other and nodded, but did not continue to ask.

Due to the presence of Hattori Heiji, who would accidentally injure teammates indiscriminately, Guan Dounan had never called out a stand-in except when he was looking for a way down the mountain. He planned to wait until the information was collected almost, and then solve all the problems at once. As for testing whether the monks are stand-ins, it was easier because of this guy Hattori.

As long as Hattori made some unconscious gestures with his hands and feet, there was no monk suddenly showing an expression like being blown to the crotch by firecrackers.

The temple is not big, so the visit was soon over. When it was time for dinner, Conan seemed to recover a little energy after resting for a while, and came to the restaurant to eat together.

The vegetarian meal is not rich, but the taste is not bad. The monks seem to maintain the habit of not speaking, and have been eating silently without speaking. Hattori and Guan Dounan looked at each other and winked at Conan.

At this time, it is the most appropriate to let the "unintelligent" children ask questions.

"Well, I've been wanting to ask since just now..." Conan also understood the meaning of the two, and asked with a curious look of a child, "What the **** is the 'Misty Dog' you've been talking about?"

"Little brother, you, who did you hear this news..." Monk Kuan Nian was taken aback, although Xiunian said this word to Guan Dounan Kimono just now, Conan should not know it.

"I'm sorry, I missed the point." The abbot said slowly, "That's just an ancient legend. It is said that the tengu will descend in the rainy night, sneak into the village like a fog, and use terrifying brute force to directly break the wall. , take people away..."

"Afterwards, it will soar into the sky, climb the towering trees, hang the captured people upside down, and then eat human flesh..."

"Of course, this is just an ancient legend, and you don't have to take it to heart at all."

"However, it's a legend, but a strange thing happened here two years ago. Since then, it has been rumored that there will be a temple with foggy dogs..." Xiu Nian lowered his head and added aside. , I don't know if it's an illusion or what, Guan Dounan always feels that he is peeking at the two of them with out of the corner of the eye~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Could it be that he is the client who sent the letter?

"Strange thing? Excuse me..." Hattori Heiji was interested and wanted to ask. Although he already knew the general case from the letter, he might be able to obtain other useful information by listening to the narrator again.

"Actually two years ago, in..."

"Enough, didn't we agree not to mention this matter?" The old abbot suddenly stopped Xiunian from continuing, and his face became serious, "I'm sorry, this matter is the private matter of this temple, and there is nothing to tell outsiders. It's getting late, this kid is still ill, I think it's better to rest early."

"Ah... ok, ok."

Hattori Heiji and Guan Dounan agreed on the surface, but they had already made up their minds to take the opportunity to continue investigating this matter. If it is said that a certain person is secretive about this, it can also be said to be a personal reason, but the current attitude of the abbot seems to explain what is behind it.

"Well...it's so uncomfortable..." Conan muttered to himself, covering his chest, his condition seemed to be getting worse...
