Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 132 The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
However, he was clearly disappointed. Xiu Nian had already dived into the deep water, and from above, her whole body was distorted by the deep water, and her expression looked somewhat unreal.

“Father, Anya wants to see it too.”

As they were talking, Xia Chuan felt something pushing in from the right, and then Anya's head also popped in.

The skylight wasn't very big to begin with, and with all three of them, half of their upper bodies were squeezed into it, they were completely stuck.

"."

Xia Chuan sighed silently, then used his arm to squeeze Conan into the skylight, making the skylight much more spacious now that there was one less person.

Conan:
I do want to see how things go, but there's really no need to keep me hanging in this meditation room like this.

If it weren't for the water below, Conan would have been terrified. This place is almost ten meters above the ground!
"Conan, have you seen what Xiu Nian is doing?"

"Xiu Nian?"

Conan took a closer look.

The water ripples subsided considerably after the water supply stopped, but because there were no lights, nothing could be seen at all. If it weren't for the bald head reflecting light, we wouldn't have been able to determine that the person below was one of Abbot Tianyong's four disciples.

Although puzzled as to how Natsukawa confirmed the culprit's identity, Conan knew this was not the time to ask.

He quickly turned on the flashlight on his watch, wanting to see what the monk Xiu Nian was planning to do.

However, the watch's spotlight has limited illumination intensity, and it cannot penetrate further into the water after going down one or two meters.

"Uncle Xia Chuan, let go, I'm going down to check!"

Conan steeled himself, kicked his leg, and tried to break free from Natsukawa's restraints to go into the water.

Xia Chuan did not answer, nor would he let go. It was not safe in the water. Even though Conan had learned to swim in Hawaii, there was a murderer down there. Who knew if the monk Xiu Nian would go crazy and kill Conan?

The leg-strengthening shoes and the watch-shaped tranquilizer dart are both unusable in water, so six-year-old Conan definitely can't beat eighteen-year-old Hideaki.

Seeing that Natsukawa wouldn't let go, Conan tried to struggle by twisting his buttocks, but because the clothes were of such high quality and Natsukawa's arm strength was so great, he couldn't keep twisting.

"Damn it!" Conan was annoyed. He should have jumped down earlier. Now, judging from Natsukawa's expression, he clearly wasn't going to let go.

"Master Xiu Nian, stop struggling and give up resisting. We already know it's you!" Sounds cannot travel in water, so Conan's voice was undoubtedly lost.

Suddenly, a muffled sound was heard, followed by a burst of rushing water!
Conan's expression changed drastically.

Soon, a whirlpool formed on the water's surface, and the water level seemed to drop!

This Xiu Nian must have broken down the small door at the back of the meditation room, which had been renovated, from the inside.

but!

With such high water pressure, people would be swept away too!

Just as Conan thought of this, he immediately heard a scream.

The screams gradually subsided as if falling off a cliff.

Immediately afterwards, the kayak in which Abbot Tianyong was located began to spin in a spiral, and within a few seconds it sank into the water with a splash.

"Come out first." Xia Chuan, with Conan in one hand and Anya in the other, led the two out one by one.

Then, Conan saw the sound of rushing water coming from the outer wall of the first floor of the training room, and a red kayak was swept away by the current along with the body of Abbot Ten'yō.

Xiu Nian's screams drew the attention of her senior brother, Kuan Nian. "What happened?"

Deep in the corridor, Kuan Nian hurried to the door of the meditation room on the first floor and saw the water line on the side wall of the meditation room. Then, he saw Abbot Tian Yong and the kayak being sprayed out.

"This is."

Kuan Nian stared blankly at Koizumi Akako and Ran, then at the still-watering training room. He raised his arm slightly, pointing in the direction where Abbot Ten'ei had fallen, speechless.

This heir to the red magic is terrifying.

The abbot refused to let her take the Tengu's mask, so she actually killed him?
Kuan Nian's legs trembled, and he took a step back, bumping into the step and falling flat on his backside.

"You, you, you."

Koizumi Akako sneered, crossing her arms. Even knowing what Kuan Nian was thinking, she had no intention of explaining. A witch wouldn't stoop to the level of someone like that.

"Are you alright, Master Kuan Nian?" Xiao Lan stepped forward to help him up, explaining helplessly, "This has nothing to do with us. We only came here after we finished using the restroom and noticed the commotion."

Kuan didn't hear a single word. Seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving. He had already seen it all, so what was there to explain?

"Let's wait for the police to arrive to discuss the truth. I've already contacted a police inspector I know, and they'll be here soon." With that, Xiaolan waved the phone Xia Chuan had left in her hand, indicating that he could rest assured that she had already called the police.

Kuan Nian took a deep breath, feeling extremely tense.

The inspector I know! The word "know" is important. Is this customer implying that the inspector I called to investigate is also one of theirs?

Overwhelmed with mixed feelings, Kuan Nian thought of many shady deals and felt extremely uncomfortable.

He shouldn't be here; he should be sleeping in his room. He should have stayed home.

Should I cooperate when the police arrive? Otherwise, I might become the murderer.

They outnumbered each other, so even if they committed murder, they could provide alibis for each other, but he didn't!

At this moment, he desperately wanted his other three junior brothers to appear, as these guests were nothing more than wolves in sheep's clothing.

The abbot only wanted to fleece the guests, while they wanted to eat mutton.

"Xiaolan, what happened?"

At that moment, Kogoro Mori walked in, still half asleep, and looked at the training room that was still filled with water, somewhat bewildered.

Why is water seeping from the meditation room? Am I still drunk? Or am I hallucinating because I need to pee? Maybe I should go back and take another nap.
After thinking it over, Kogoro Mouri turned around and wanted to go back to sleep.

This scene left Kuan Nian stunned.

You've killed someone! How can you be so nonchalant? These guys don't seem to care about human life at all.

He swallowed hard, suppressing his fear and revealing a bewildered expression.

“I also sleepwalked and didn’t see anything. I’m going back to sleep right away and I promise I’ll sleep until first thing tomorrow morning. Since I was sleepwalking, I definitely won’t remember what happened tonight.”

"."

This explanation is a bit far-fetched, but it's enough to prove his inner fear.

Ran was too lazy to explain to him at this point. Seeing that her pillar of support had arrived, she quickly stepped forward and grabbed Kogoro Mouri's hand: "Dad, Master Shunen and Abbot Ten'ei just fell off the cliff."

"what!"

Kogoro Mouri immediately perked up!
He blinked, his mind clearing instantly, and waved his hand dismissively: "Call the police! Yamane-dera is still within Tokyo, under Inspector Megure's jurisdiction. Never mind, where's the phone? I'll just go make the call!"

Kogoro Mouri turned around to look at Kuan Nian, only to find that the spot where Kuan Nian had just been was no longer there.

"When he heard that Xiu Nian had also fallen, he ran away." Koizumi Akako yawned, looking listless as she prepared to leave: "I'm a little sleepy too, so I'll go back to sleep first."

The witch wasn't interested in such things. She only came out to see what Xia Chuan and the others were up to, and she was relieved to know that getting back the Mist Tengu Mask wouldn't affect her.

After going downstairs, Natsukawa ran into Koizumi Akako, who was about to go back to sleep. He felt envious and wanted to go back to sleep too, but Anya was full of energy right now. If he went to sleep, Anya might follow Conan and do something dangerous.

It's dangerous to stick your head out of the sunroof.

"By the way, the person Xiaolan saw at the gate earlier, it must have been you, right?" Xia Chuan suddenly remembered that Xiaolan said she saw a figure at the gate of Shanni Temple, and that person might have been Koizumi Akako.

Koizumi Akako nodded, then seemed to realize something, and her facial expression suddenly became somewhat unnatural.

"What's wrong?" Xia Chuan asked.

"fine."

After saying that, she quickly left.

Natsukawa wanted to ask what the sound he heard outside the temple was, but Koizumi Akako ran too fast and didn't give him a chance to ask.

However, it wasn't anything important, so Xia Chuan shrugged and gave up asking.
