After the simulation, the female characters in Detective Conan break down.

Everyone heard a scream.

They all got up with a "whoosh" and went to the source of the sound.

That's where the rehabilitation room is located.

Hoshino calmly followed in the footsteps of the others.

"Stop, Abbot!"

Take a closer look.

It was none other than the abbot of the temple, Monk Tianyong.

"Ah!"

Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki shouted.

The abbot, Tianyong, was hanged by a rope from the beam in the detention room.

There was no wind inside the room.

But his body was still shaking.

This was the first case that Hoshinogi was involved in.

If one did not know the method of the crime beforehand...

You might really think that demons or monsters are causing trouble.

"Call the police!"

Kogoro Mouri was the first to react.

He instructed his daughter, Ran Mouri, to call the police.

The sound of sirens echoed throughout the temple.

Several police cars arrived outside Nishan Temple.

Inspector Megure led a team to investigate Yamane-dera Temple.

How did you discover that the abbot was on the roof beam?

"Normally, people wouldn't look up first when they enter a room."

Inspector Megure conducted a routine questioning of the first witness who discovered the body.

"Of course you'll find out!"

"Because the same thing happened two years ago."

The monks in the temple offered an explanation.

"Two years ago, in the same spot..."

......

Although it is suspected that someone strangled Tianyong first.

It is possible that his body was then hung from a beam.

However, the structure of the "rehabilitation room" is quite unique.

It is a special house that is [length] meters long, [width] meters wide, and [height] meters high.

The surrounding wooden planks were all painted and very smooth.

Only a small skylight at the top lets in light.

It is impossible for a person to climb up a smooth, straight wall to reach the hanging beam.

Of course, it's impossible to carry a corpse through the skylight and climb up to the hanging beam.

Because both the skylight and the cantilever beam are too small.

Only one person can pass.

The only explanation is in folk legends.

Only a flying mist tengu can enter through the skylight.

Just when the case reached a stalemate.

"Isn't he the murderer? Monk Xiu Nian."

Hoshino suddenly spoke up.

This attracted everyone's attention.

"Young man, you say that Monk Xiu Nian is the murderer? What evidence do you have?"

Inspector Megure walked up to Hoshino and asked anxiously.

"How dare you frame me!"

Monk Xiu Nian's face turned pale, and he hurriedly retorted.

"Isn't there an inflatable rubber boat in this room?"

Hoshinogi spoke calmly and quietly.

"And then there's this mountain waterfall..."

At this time.

A cherry blossom fell from the beam and landed right on Conan's nose.

Conan was puzzled.

How could there be cherry blossom petals on the beam?

In addition, there were two hints given by Hoshinogi.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him.

I finally figured out the killer's method.

......

Hoshinoki watched Conan's actions from the sidelines.

Anyway, the old host is already dead.

mission completed.

All that's left is to watch Conan "act" and cooperate with the police investigation.

It turns out the murderer treated the "rehabilitation room" as a rectangular container.

Water was channeled into the waterfall using wooden planks.

The murderer first strangled Tianyong.

Then take an inflatable rubber boat.

The beam is raised to the same height as the cantilever beam.

Then hang Tianyong's body from the beam.

He then escaped through the skylight.

Finally, open the door and let it in.

Because "Shanni Temple" is close to the waterfall.

The waterfall was very loud.

It masked the sounds of the crime.

The murderer did this to disguise the crime as being committed by the Tengu.

In folk legends.

Fog Tengu is a creature that prefers rain and darkness.

An ancient creature that feeds on human souls.

Gosho Aoyama uses Conan's words to express his views.

A popular science explanation of Japanese tengu culture was conducted.

Ancient people observed that some shooting stars made a very loud noise.

People from China who travel to Japan say those shooting stars are dogs from the sky.

From then on, people called those meteors that made a loud noise "heavenly dogs".

The Chinese believe that such meteors, once they fall to Earth...

It's an ominous sign.

Later, this legend spread to Japan.

The celestial dog is a strange phenomenon.

People have misunderstood me as a monster.

Mr. Aoyama is worthy of admiration.
