Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

In the middle of the night, the Shanni Temple exuded a horrible atmosphere, the sound of the waterfall was faintly visible, and a gust of wind suddenly sounded in the corridor.

The old monk turned over with a smell of alcohol, and suddenly opened his eyes in a daze to look at the door that opened automatically. As a gust of cold air blew in, the ferocious face of Wu Tiangou suddenly appeared at the door, just like that, only one head was floating In mid-air, the eyes seemed to emit a biting red light...

"I can't stand it. I was woken up by Xiaolan in the middle of the night." On the other side of the corridor, Mori Kogoro and Conan yawned and accompanied Xiaolan to the toilet. "It's 2 o'clock in the middle of the night! I'm in high school and I dare not be alone. To the restroom?"

"But I'm afraid, there's nothing I can do!" Xiaolan's aggrieved voice came from the toilet.

"Hey, Uncle," Conan said sleepily, "I'm still curious about that incident..."

"Since others don't want to talk about it, we'd better not talk about it," Mori Kogoro said indifferently, "And how could there be some foggy dogs..."

There was a gust of cold wind blowing from nowhere, Mori Kogoro shuddered, and looked at the end of the corridor suspiciously, and suddenly a terrifying face flashed past in sight.

Mori Kogoro's body stiffened, his face turned pale, and he kept pulling Conan.

"Hey, Conan! Look over there, is there something just now?"

"what?"

Conan looked around, but saw nothing: "Nothing."

"Really," Xiao Lan came out of the toilet, speechless, "Aren't you afraid yourself?"

Mori Kogoro's teeth chattered: "A head was flying just now..."

"It must be Uncle, you read it wrong."

Conan deliberately went to the end of the corridor to look, but still found nothing, but the light in the old monk's room was still on, and the door was not even closed.

He looked inside curiously, and was surprised to see the old monk curled up with his head in his arms, talking nonsense, looking like he was afraid of something.

"strangeness……"

...

The next morning, the bright sun enveloped the monastery on the mountainside, Mori Kogoro didn't sleep well all night, and was awakened by the little monk Xiu Nian with dark circles under his eyes.

"Everyone, the breakfast is ready."

"It's already dawn." Mori Kogoro put on his clothes and walked towards the dining hall listlessly.

"Detective Maori, you seem to be sleepy." Several other monks said strangely.

"Uncle, he saw Wu Tiangou last night," Conan said abruptly, "Only one head is floating in the corridor!"

"What?!" The faces of several monks were ugly, "Could it be that there is really a foggy dog?"

"Uncle hasn't slept since then..."

"Stop talking!"

Mori Kogoro punched Conan on the head with a livid face, and suddenly saw the old monk coming from outside with dark circles under his eyes.

"Abbot Tianyong, didn't you sleep well last night?"

The old monk was a little out of his wits, and it took him a long time to realize it. He nodded silently and sat down in his seat.

Xiu Nian gave the old monk a complicated look, then sat down with her head buried. He tossed and turned and thought a lot last night. After returning to his room, the voice calling him to stop echoed in his mind.

After calming down, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the voice was not an illusion, and the door couldn't be opened by itself...

"Maori detective," the old monk said suddenly, "what happened two years ago..."

"I know, I know," Mori Kogoro said hastily, "We'll leave later..."

The old monk paused, closed his eyes and trembled his beard: "That incident actually...has nothing to do with Wu Tiangou, the real murderer..."

What he saw last night came back to the old monk's mind.

"What?" Mori Kogoro stared blankly at the old monk, "You mean a murderer? Could it be..."

"I killed Zhong Nian.

"The old monk bowed his head and confessed.

"What did you say?!"

"Master!"

The people who were having their morning fast looked at the old monk in disbelief: "What the hell is going on?"

Facing everyone's surprised gazes, the old monk closed his eyes and remained silent.

"Master..." The little monk Xiu Nian stared at the old monk in a daze. She also didn't know how the attitude of the old monk who was complacent because of the lack of evidence last night changed drastically.

Until noon when Mu Mu led the police officers to Shanni Temple, the old monk refused to say anything, but just sat there with his eyebrows closed and eyes resigned to his fate. When the police arrived, he was also silently taken into the police car.

"What happened?"

Mori Kogoro couldn't understand why things suddenly became like this.

If the old monk was the murderer of the incident two years ago, it would make sense to prohibit the monks from mentioning that incident, but after one night, he pleaded guilty for no reason.

"Could it be because I'm too afraid of me, the famous detective Mori Kogoro?" Mori rubbed his chin and laughed suddenly, "That's right, it must be because he heard my name that he surrendered himself! Hahaha!"

"Fool." Gao Cheng floated aside, watching the old monk being taken into the police car.

How could the old monk plead guilty so easily? Last night he clearly asked everyone to leave in the morning. The truth of the matter is of course because of him.

In order to get the old monk to surrender himself, he spent a lot of effort last night.

"I was also in charge of the case two years ago." Muguro stayed behind to continue the investigation, looking suspiciously at Kogoro Mouri. "At that time, the case could only be closed by suicide. I never thought that the old monk would be the murderer, because at the time it seemed that nothing but There is indeed no other possibility of suicide, it is like being hanged by Wutiangou on the high ceiling beams of that training room."

Mori Kogoro was stunned: "How did Abbot Yong do it that day?"

"Who knows? And there is no evidence at all, so I can only ask the abbot after returning to the police station," Mu Mu looked at the old monk with a headache, "But I think he doesn't seem to be very willing to say..."

"I know how Master does it." Xiu Nian, who had been silently by the side, suddenly said.

He doesn't know what's going on with the old monk, but that's fine, if he really kills the old monk, I'm afraid his life will be ruined...

"You know?" Mu Mu looked at Xiu Nian unexpectedly, "I remember two years ago without you..."

"Xiu Nian has only been in the temple for a year." Kuan Nian and the others explained.

"Actually, Zhong Nian, who was killed by Master two years ago, and I are brothers. He is my elder brother," Xiu Nian said with her head lowered. Find the murderer who killed my brother and find out the truth of the matter."

"Xiu Nian..."

The brothers and sisters were surprised.

"It's no wonder you didn't pay attention," Xiu Nian said with a bitter smile, "I spent half a year investigating hard, and although I had some clues about the method of committing the crime, I still couldn't find out who the murderer was, because everyone didn't want to mention it. …Until Master reacted so strongly to Detective Maori yesterday, I didn’t know he was the murderer, and when I went to his room, he admitted it even when he was drunk…”

"You made Master surrender himself?"

Everyone was shocked, they didn't expect such an inside story.

"No, it's not me." Xiu Nian shook her head, gathering her thoughts from the memories of the past, "I'd better tell you Master's technique."

On the balcony of the practice room next to the waterfall, when Xiu Nian took the lead, she removed the wooden planks that were laid for non-slip, sealed the gaps with tape and used it as a sink, leading the water flow from the waterfall into the practice room through the skylight.

"Two years ago, the master sealed the gap in the door of the practice room with adhesive tape, and then came out from the small window in the corner, leading the water into it like this, and then went in through the small window, and sealed the gap in the small window with tape, as for me Brother, he put him on the rubber boat in advance, as long as he was careful not to get the body wet, he could float to the bottom of the ceiling beam with the rising water..."

The little monk slowly revealed the whole method in front of everyone, as if the crime had reappeared, revealing the mystery of the Wutiangou murder two years ago.

Whether it will be successful is still uncertain, but many details of the crime scene can be matched with Xiu Nian's method.

Mu Mu pondered: "But why did Abbot Tianyong turn himself in again? It's been two years and there is no evidence..."

"Perhaps the abbot has repented."

Everyone guessed again and again, only monk Xiu Nian did not make a sound.
