Conan Rick's Investigator

"There should be something like a suicide note in the temple. Let's all go look for it!"

Inspector Megure waved his hand, and all the police officers he brought with him dispersed to every corner of the temple.

Just then, Conan ran over and pulled Inspector Megure's sleeve.

"Inspector Megure, I just found this at the foot of the mountain..."

Conan first showed the evidence he had found to the confused Inspector Megure, and then quickly said, "There seems to be something in the stream at the foot of the mountain..."

Before Conan could finish his words, he was lifted up by Mouri Kogoro's Kirin arm.

"Hey! Little brat, don't butt in when the adults are investigating a case."

"Xiaolan!"

Kogoro Mouri called Xiaolan over with a roar, and then threw Conan to Xiaolan.

"Don't let this brat disturb us while we're working on the case. Take him somewhere else to play."

Just like that, Conan, who had just learned the truth, was forced to leave the stage as usual by Kogoro Mouri.

Lying in Xiaolan's arms, Conan thought of the key evidence in the murder case, and also of the corpse of a creature suspected to be "Tai Sui" or "Mist Tengu" downstream of the waterfall that could be washed away by the water at any time.

Cases can always be solved, but that pink thing in the river might be a completely new species!

This could be a huge discovery that would shock the entire country and even the entire world!

There is no other way. It’s an emergency, so I can only go find Qin Zhibo.

But when Conan asked Xiaolan where Qin Zhibo had gone, Xiaolan didn't know where Qin was exactly in the temple.

Really!

There is no one reliable around at this critical moment!

Now the only solution Conan can think of is the usual "Sleeping Kogoro" mode.

First let the "Sleeping Kogoro Mouri" solve the case, and then use Kogoro Mouri's mouth to let the police go to the foot of the mountain to check the pink thing.

Well, that's it!

Conan made up his mind and wanted to get out of Xiaolan's arms, but Xiaolan didn't allow him.

"No, Conan."

"Dad is solving a case, don't disturb him."

As if seeing through Conan's little thoughts, Xiaolan refused to let Conan leave her side.

So when Conan’s first plan failed, he tried another one and said he wanted to go to the bathroom.

Mao Lilan agreed.

……

Standing in the toilet, Conan looked around.

Although Mao Lilan agreed to her request to go to the toilet, she personally squatted outside the toilet door.

This is really a reversal of the situation last night.

But a small toilet certainly can't trap Conan, whose agility is as high as 70.

Conan put his foot on the toilet lid, jumped towards the window next to the toilet, and grabbed the ventilation window of the toilet.

Taking advantage of his short stature, he flipped directly from the small window to the corridor outside and successfully escaped from the "toilet".

Then, Conan found Kogoro Mouri standing at the door of the training room. He decisively opened the cover of his watch and aimed the crosshairs at the familiar neck.

This scene happened to be seen by Qin Zhibo who had just returned from the kitchen after stealing some food.

Chapter 118 This double act is very scientific

While waiting for Conan to run errands to find evidence, Qin Zhibo was so hungry that he went to the kitchen to find something to eat.

When he came back after dinner, Qin Zhibo saw Conan "shooting" Mouri Kogoro.

At the corner of the corridor, Conan raised his children's watch and aimed at Mouri Kogoro. A ray that was almost invisible to the naked eye hit Mouri Kogoro's neck.

Then Kogoro Mouri's consciousness began to blur, his eyelids drooped, and his mouth was wet.

After a wonderful waltz dance, Kogoro Mouri's butt just sat on the wooden railing, his body maintaining a delicate balance. Even though there was a hundred-foot cliff behind him, he maintained a calm and stern expression.

At this time, Conan ran to Kogoro Mouri under the pretext of asking "Uncle Mouri, what's wrong with you", and then seamlessly turned his back to Inspector Megure and others, raised his bow tie and talked to himself.

"Nothing, I just suddenly understood everything..."

"Officer Megure, please call all the monks from the temple to gather here."

"I'm going to start revealing the truth about the case."

Of course, this is the voice of Kogoro Mori.

……

Conan's skillful performance of this whole process was so touching that it reminded Qin Zhibo of a traditional art performance form - double yellow.

But it is slightly different from the traditional double yellow, that is, the double yellow performer in the front - Maori Kogoro is only responsible for posing, and everything else is done by Conan next to him.

but……

Kogoro Mouri spoke without even moving his lips!

Moreover, the position of Maori Kogoro's voice is obviously inconsistent with the height of Maori Kogoro's mouth!

Inspector Megure and other police officers who were only one meter away from Kogoro Mouri could neither see nor hear anything?

Are you selectively blind and deaf?

This was the worst double yellow performance Qin Zhibo had ever seen, but what was even more rare was that everyone present except himself believed it.

But after thinking about it, Qin Zhibo began to understand a little.

Maybe Conan's double yellow performance is like Superman Clark's glasses. As long as he wears them, others can't recognize him. It is a weapon of causality.

Coincidentally, Conan also wears glasses.

Qin Zhibo even felt that Conan's glasses had similar effects to Superman's glasses.

As for the watch that can knock out Kogoro Mouri and the bow tie that can change voice, they are most likely also products of Dr. Agasa.

Anyway, after putting on the vest of Mouri Kogoro, Megure finally took Conan's words seriously enough and hurriedly ordered his men to capture the four monks from Sanni Temple.

……

While waiting for the four monks to return, Conan glanced around and suddenly saw Qin Zhibo not far away looking at him with interest.

This guy...when did he come back?

Although he usually bullies Megure and others for their poor eyesight and hearing, Conan still doesn't dare to act too rashly under Qin Zhibo's nose.

So Conan decided to stay away from Kogoro Mouri this time.

It just so happens that the small props that Dr. Agasa made some time ago can come in handy.

Conan took out a button from his pocket and quietly stuck it on Mouri Kogoro's trouser leg, then ran to a position farther away from Mouri Kogoro.

This button is the button-shaped loudspeaker invented by Dr. Agasa, which can be wirelessly connected to the butterfly-shaped voice changer.

In this way, even if you are not standing next to Mouri Kogoro, you can create the illusion that Mouri Kogoro is talking.

At this moment, the four monks were all in place, and Conan couldn't wait to start reasoning.

"The criminal's method is actually very simple. He just needs to take advantage of the unique conditions of the Shanni Temple..."

"First, the criminals killed Abbot Tianyong, brought him to this room, and placed him on a rubber boat inside the temple."

"The prisoner then went to the skylight in the ascetic room and used wooden boards to divert the waterfall water into the ascetic room. He then quickly returned to the room and taped up the gaps between the door and the small window of the ascetic room."

"Next, we just need to wait for the water level to slowly rise to a certain height, and then we can hang Abbot Tianyong's body from the beams."

"Finally, the prisoner will climb out of the skylight and use an axe to break the small window of the training room. The strong water pressure will directly break down the wooden wall."

"Using this technique, even a weak person could create a large hole in the wall and hang the abbot's body from the beam without leaving any trace, creating the illusion that Mist Tengu had committed murder."

"Mouri Kogoro" spoke the criminal method like a machine gun using ventriloquism, but Inspector Megure, who had been listening carefully with his ears perked up, still couldn't follow the line of reasoning.

"Wait a minute! Maori brother."

"You speak a little too quickly. This doesn't fit your reasoning style..."

Inspector Megure gestured to slow down the situation and asked, "First, let's talk about the rubber boat. Why haven't I heard of any rubber boats inside Sanni Temple?"

"Also, the waterfall water is still some distance from the skylight in the training room. How can we bring the water in?"

"Also..."

"Also..."

"Also..."

Conan: "..."

There was no other way, so Conan spent another ten minutes explaining again the things that Inspector Megure didn't understand.

Finally, Inspector Megure nodded seriously and asked, "Then who is the murderer?"

murderer……

Such a simple and unpretentious statement about wanting to leave work stumped Conan.

Yes! Who is the murderer?

Because this flash of inspiration came too suddenly, and he was in a hurry to solve the case so that the police would have time to go down the mountain to check for the pink creature in the stream, he didn't have time to think about who the murderer was.

But now that I have the key evidence, it is only a matter of time before I know who the murderer is. It just requires more workload for the forensic department.

So Conan controlled Maori Kogoro and continued: "I don't know the identity of the murderer at the moment, but I asked Conan to find the small window fragments at the foot of the mountain."

"I guarantee with my life as a detective that the tape on this fragment definitely has the murderer's fingerprints!"

In order to increase his persuasiveness, Conan guaranteed the life of detective Kogoro Mouri, and then suddenly jumped out from the corner of the corridor on the other side, holding up the plastic bag in his hand.

"This is it!"

Conan was just about to hand the evidence in his hand to Inspector Megure when a hand suddenly reached out and snatched the evidence away.

"Brother Qin?"

Megure looked at Qin Zhibo, who had intercepted the evidence, with a confused look on his face.

Qin Zhibo calmly walked up to the crowd and said, "Even without checking the fingerprints, I know who the murderer is."

"La Ni!"

Ignoring everyone's shocked faces, Qin Zhibo continued in a casual tone, "This case is almost identical to the one from two years ago, except for the victim. So, there are only two possible scenarios."

"One is that the murderer is the same person, and the other is that the murderer is a copycat."

"From Abbot Ten's reaction yesterday when he learned of my and Detective Mori's identities as detectives, and judging by the profits he made following the death of Monk Chungnien two years ago, there's no doubt that Abbot Ten's the culprit in the case two years ago."

"Since the deceased happened to be the abbot of Tianyong, this case undoubtedly falls under the second scenario, a copycat crime, and the motive is very likely revenge."

"By investigating Monk Zhongnian's personal information, we learned that his real name is Takahashi Reiji."

"Among the four monks in the temple, I know one of them has the character 'Xinzhi' in his name."

"Judging from their ages, could they be brothers?"

"is not it?"

"Monk Xiu Nian?"

Chapter 119 Conan wants to prove its existence

When Qin Zhibo called out their name, everyone's eyes turned to Xiunian.

At this moment, Xiunian's expression was no longer as calm as usual. The cold sweat on her forehead had been accumulating since just now, and there was already quite a lot of it.

Xiunian's mind was blank now - Monk Tianyong had clearly used this method to kill his own brother and the police had determined it to be suicide, so why would he be discovered when he used the same method?
