The world of science is unscientific

"Cough cough..."

Yusuke Suzuki looked away. "I'm an upright person, I could never be like a weird old man."

"Oh?" Ai Haibara put her hands behind her back and stood on tiptoe. "That... looks like a pervert."

Can you please stop harping on this?

I was just joking around back then, okay?

Yusuke Suzuki gently tapped Ai Haibara's forehead and continued eating his dango.

the other side.

Conan and Heiji Hattori finally got down to business.

Investigating Rena Mizunashi's past in Osaka was essentially catering to Heiji Hattori's interests.

Anyway, he's usually bored in Osaka.

He didn't know why there were so many more murder cases in Tokyo than in Osaka.

Furthermore, Heiji Hattori actually really wanted to participate in the investigation.

But Conan didn't want to get too involved, so he didn't say anything or take any action.

It's great to be able to participate a little bit now.

Therefore, Blackie readily agreed.

"Conan, Hattori-kun, we're leaving now."

Just as the two finished talking, Ran Mouri called out to them.

"Anyway, that's it."

After responding to Ran Mouri, Conan looked at Heiji Hattori and said, "It would be best if we could find out Rena Mizunashi's past identity, but if we can't, don't worry too much about it."

"Hmph, what you're saying is like saying, 'I know you're not very good, so don't be sad about your failure.'"

Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes in annoyance. "After spending so much time with Yusuke, you've started to become a bad person too."

Conan: "..."

What is this?

It's clearly you who's become petty!

You're the one with bad intentions!

The two suddenly fell silent and followed Suzuki Yusuke and the others.

Just as he got closer, someone who appeared out of nowhere bumped into Conan and made him stumble.

"You are the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, right?"

"who are you?"

Conan looked up and saw who had hit him.

A young monk.

"They really just disappeared so suddenly! That customer from three days ago."

Look closely, this young monk's name is Chuanjiu.

Three days ago, a guest suddenly came to the temple. She was a female benefactor with long hair, whom we can call Xiaomei for now. She came specifically to see Master Chuanjiu.

After the hospitality was over, nothing strange happened that night.

The next morning, Chuanjiu was about to call Xiaomei for breakfast when he found her lying on the ground with a knife stuck in her stomach.

Chuanjiu is a monk, so there's no such thing as "taking advantage of the moment."

He acted decisively, immediately running to inform his master and call the police.

When the police arrived, Xiaomei's body had vanished without a trace.

Chuanjiu was questioned by his master and the police, but he couldn't say anything and could only wonder if he had seen it wrong.

Just now, he suddenly saw Kogoro Mouri and decided to come and ask this famous detective to help him find out the truth and clear up his confusion.

The bumbling detective has never believed in such things.

But Heiji Hattori and Conan were very concerned.

Although Conan can't make the decision, it's still possible for Blackie to go to the temple to take a look.

He was, after all, a guest.

Kogoro Mouri scratched his head. Seeing that the little monk was also praising him highly and that his expression didn't seem fake, he simply nodded and said, "Let's go take a look then. Anyway, I'm not really interested in looking at flowers."

Ran Mouri and Kazuha Toyama: "..."

So, only the two of them wanted to see the cherry blossoms?

No, Ai must also want to see the cherry blossoms!

She didn't come because Yusuke was coming!

After half an hour.

Yusuke Suzuki and his group drove to the temple.

With the mindset of "since we're already here," Toyama and Hajime decided to go in and pray for good luck.

She would always visit any temple she visited; this was her way of forbearance.

But before that, we still need to visit Master Chuanjiu.

After some pleasantries, Kogoro Mouri, as the representative, proposed to investigate what had happened three days prior, according to Denki.

Hattori Heiji felt that the muddle-headed detective was still too long-winded, and said directly, "We want to see if someone hid the body after Denji left."

This is a small temple, with only Master Chuanjiu and his disciple living there.

The implication is quite clear.

But Chuanjiu's master was not angry. "This young benefactor does have some unique insights. Then this old monk will take you to see him."

The annex for entertaining guests was built in a more remote location.

It took them quite a while to arrive.

This villa is not large, with a total of four rooms, each room being four square meters.

After checking, nothing unusual was found.

Yusuke Suzuki knew the plot and was considering whether to end it as soon as possible and go back.

Time flies, and it's already dusk again, which is really frustrating.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, tomorrow is the Detective Koshien tournament, so dawdling here is a real waste of time.

With that in mind, Yusuke Suzuki decided to use the inspection as an opportunity to settle the case directly.

Anyway, the method used in this case is not difficult, there is only one suspect, and there is no need to find any evidence.

He walked toward the images of the Heavenly Kings placed in the four corners of the room.

Meanwhile, Denki's master was talking to Kogoro Mouri.

"Mr. Mori, how is it? Have you noticed anything unusual?"

The bumbling detective gave an awkward laugh, "N-nothing..."

The voice just fell.

Yusuke Suzuki moved the image of the Heavenly King aside. "Master, this looks like bloodstains. I'm not sure. Would you like to take a look?"

Old monk: "???"

Chapter 914 I'll take you tomorrow

Upon hearing Suzuki Yusuke's words, the old monk was dumbfounded.

Looking up again, I saw that the image of the Wisdom King, which was placed in the upper left corner of the room, had been lifted up along with its glass cabinet.

The bloodstains below were clearly visible, without any attempt to conceal them.

Heiji Hattori and Conan also rushed over.

After a quick inspection, they confirmed that the dark substance on the tatami mat was indeed blood.

They also checked the bottom of the statue, but they were worried that moving it with the cabinet might damage it. Since the cabinet was transparent, they only moved the statue and checked the bottom through the cabinet.

Unexpectedly, the old monk had tampered with this, using stickers of the same color as the tatami mats to cover it up at the bottom of the cabinet.

Hattori Heiji's thoughts began to wander.

So... the reason they were a step behind Suzuki Yusuke again was simply because they were too cautious and not as reckless as Yusuke?

But Conan and Blackie have different ideas.

In his view, Yusuke Suzuki simply did his job and checked all the places that needed to be checked.

Before Suzuki Yusuke could make a move, he and Hattori Heiji had already searched the entire room.

There is only one blind spot that has been overlooked.

Neither of them expected it, but Yusuke Suzuki noticed it.

It's that simple.

Speaking of which, this should be the fastest progressing case so far, right?

Conan put aside his thoughts and looked at the old monk.

The old monk's mouth was slightly open, but he did not make a sound.

Once the bloodstains were discovered, he became the only suspect.

After a while, he closed his lips slightly, then slowly opened them again, "As you all can see, all of this was indeed done by this old monk."

As he spoke, he looked at his disciple, "Chuanjiu, you can go out first. I have something to say to these benefactors."

Chuanjiu wanted to stay, but after struggling with himself for a moment, he quietly left the room.
