Chapter 369: The incident at Shanni Temple


   Wednesday, March 26, at about 4:30 in the morning, in the guest room in the mountain mud temple upstream of the Tama River.
   Hearing Mu Nian's scream, Lan and Yuanzi's expressions immediately changed. Conan and Meidaizi immediately ran out, followed by Maori. But the directions are different. Conan and Maori are facing the door, and Mei Daizi is facing the wall opposite the door.
   Yamazaki smiled and said, "It's a mountain." Said Mei Daizi, who had only taken one step after she had stepped, "and the outer wall is ten centimeters thick, so it will hurt."
   "Huh?" Mei Daizi was stunned.
   "Puff." Yuanzi and Lan immediately laughed.
   Mei Daizi glanced at the roof and said, "Brother, please give me a hand and I will turn over from the room."
   "Forget it, if you break something, we won't have the cash to pay for it." Yamazaki laughed, "And the shouting has been for a while. If it's a foggy dog, I will wait for you to run early."
   "Really." Mei Daizi complained.
   "Well, let's go over and take a look," Yamazaki laughed.
   Yamazaki came to the front yard and found Kuannian, Tunnian, Mu-nian, and Xiunian standing at the door of the confinement room.
   At this time, Maori and Conan came out of the confinement room. Maori said, "It just happened to be here. Go to the police. Someone is dead here. It is the abbot of Tianyong."
   "Okay." Yamazaki took a look in the confinement room. Abbot Tianyong was hung from a beam about ten meters above the ground, and then he went to the Abbot Tianyong's bedroom to make a phone call.
   Maori asked, "Master Mu Nian, are you the first person to find out?"
   "Yes, yes," Mu Nian said.
   "Master Mu Nian, you are really amazing. The abbot was hung in such a high place. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to find it." Conan said.
   "Of course I will find out," Mu Nian cried out in fear, "Almost exactly the same thing happened in this room two years ago."
   "So, there was a murder incident here two years ago?" Maori said, "That's what you wanted to tell me, so now you can tell me about the incident two years ago."
   "Yes," Kuan Nian said, "Two years ago, on a day when it rained heavily in the middle of the night, my brother Zhong Nian disappeared."
   "We searched the temple all over but couldn't find it," Tun Nian said.
"A few days later, when I was repairing the big hole on the wall of the confinement room," Mu Nian said, pointing to the big hole in the corner of the confinement room, "It's about the same as this." Then he said, "I inadvertently looked up and was shocked. With a jump, the loyalty who has been missing for a few days hangs from the beam just like Master is now."
   Maori asked: "What did the police say?"
   "Because there are no additional marks on the beam, no footprints, no traces of rope rubbing, it seems that the case has not been closed yet." Mu Nian said.
   "No, no extra traces?" Maori and Conan were taken aback, looking up at the abbot's body.
   Tunnian said: "The abbot said that the foggy dog ​​flew up and tied a rope on the beam, and then hung up Zhongnian."
Mu Nian said: "That hole is used when the foggy dog ​​enters and exits. And the outer wall of the temple is very strong. If you want to open such a big hole with a height of 1.2 meters and a width of 1.5 meters, it is not possible for one person to do so in a few hours. It can be done, let alone without tools."
   Kuannian said, "This is the only thing that makes sense."
   "Indeed, flying to a height of ten meters with a person is indeed a monster." Maori said.
   At this time, Yamazaki came over and said, "Uncle, the Megome Police Department said he will come as soon as possible, but now although the rain is lighter, the road is not easy to walk, I guess it will take about an hour."
   "That's it," Maori looked up at the body again, thought about it, and said, "Then wait."
"Brother, this hole is about 1.2 meters high. If you climb in close to the ground, your body will be about 1.2 meters tall and about 1.5 meters wide, and your shoulders will be about 1.5 meters wide. If the height of your legs is one and a half times the height of your body , The length between the front and rear limbs is three times the width of the shoulders, the length of the head and neck is half the width of the shoulders, and the tail length is the same as the body. Then, the back is three meters high, the body length is four meters and five meters, and the headband and tail are nearly ten meters long. , This foggy dog ​​is a big guy.
Mei Daizi smiled,
This body has not been eaten before, that is to say, only the soul is eaten, but this happened only once in two years, that is, only once in two years. , So it’s easy to raise. Brother, let’s call someone to round up it."
   "It's confirmed that this is really what the foggy dog ​​is talking about." Yamazaki laughed, and then asked, "Uncle, how is the situation?"
After listening to Maori about the situation, Yamazaki touched the wall and asked, "Master Mu Nian, if the wood in the middle of the wall is broken, how did you repair it? Wooden buildings are most vulnerable to insects, not to mention that you are near the water. ."
   Mu Nian said, "I use a telescopic ladder."
   "Telescopic ladder?" Maori said, "Take me to see."
   Next door storage room, Maori and others saw the ladder. Maori said: "You can go up alone if you want, but you can't bring someone with you." Then he asked, "Master Mu Nian, you brought this from the scene, right?"
   "No, no," Mu Nian said quickly.
   "Hey, is there a water leak in this storage room? This rubber boat seems to be wet?" Conan asked.
   Xiu Nian smiled and said, "It's just that the moisture is getting bigger, things here are often like this."
   "Uncle Maori, now I can only wait for the police to come and talk. I am watching here. You should go wash and change your clothes." Yamazaki said, "Master Kuannian, please bear with me for a while."
   Tunnian said in surprise: "We? You mean..."
   "We were the only people in the temple last night. If no accident, the murderer was among you." Maori said.
   "What!" Kuannian was taken aback, and Kuannian said quickly, "This is impossible."
   "Yes, there are others who inherited this temple." Tun Nian said, "Now that the master has passed away, maybe we will be homeless."
   "Yes, yes." Mu Nian and Xiunian agreed.
   "Motivation issues, I'll talk about it later." Yamazaki said, "What do you need, please solve it now. Please try not to leave here after a while."
   Kuannian said, "I want to go there for convenience."
   "Me too." Tun Nian said, "and I have to prepare breakfast."
   "I want to go too." Mu Nian said, "I want to go out to pick some mushrooms."
   "Me too." Xiunian said.
"The rain has almost stopped, we will take care of breakfast. Conan, you accompany them." Yamazaki smiled, "Lan, Mei Daizi, Yuanzi, the satellite phone is in the guest room clothes, the three of you are discussing the order Let's have breakfast."
   Ten minutes later, Conan sent the Kuannian four back, and then went to take a bath.
   "I want to ask a few questions that have nothing to do with this incident." Yamazaki asked, "How big is this Shanni Temple?"
   Xiunian said, "Only one hundred meters around."
   Mu Nian said, "Most of them are rocks and river beaches, and there is no place to farm."
   Tun Nian said: "But the surrounding mountains and forests are not supervised. We often go to pick mountain products, improve our food, and exchange some money."
"This is the most stable income." Kuan Nian said, "There are no scenic spots nearby. The main road is about ten minutes away by car. Generally, few people come to stay. Our temple is small, and the nearest home is more than here. One kilometer away, there are not many people storing spiritual places here."
   "One hundred meters." Yamazaki asked, "Then the 35-meter-high waterfall next to it belongs to Sanni Temple?"
   "Yes." Kuannian said.
   At this time, Ran, Mei Daizi, and Yuanzi returned. Then Mouri returned, and Yamazaki went to the bathroom. Nearly ten minutes later, they returned with Conan. Then Lan, Mei Daizi, and Yuanzi went to the bathroom and returned for half an hour. At the same time, the sound of the police car came from a distance. The police department led a team to the scene.
   After letting his subordinates start work, the Mumu Police Department went to Maori and gritted his teeth and said, "Heh, heh, Maori, you are really leisurely."
   Maori smiled and said, "Sir, police officer, this is your credit."
   Mumu Police Department asked: "What happened this time, how did you find it?"
   Mori whispered the matter in the ear of the Megome police department.
   Mumu police department couldn't help whispering to himself: "Don't go to bed in the middle of the night, catch the foggy tengu as a pet." He rubbed his forehead.
At this time, a forensic officer climbed on the beam and said: "The police department, as expected, is the same as it was two years ago. There is a thick layer of ash on the beam and there is no trace of passiveness. Although some ash is lost in the middle, It can be determined that it was caused by the rope tied to it, and there is no trace of friction between the rope and the beam."
   "Where's the ladder?" Megome Police Department asked.
"There is no trace of a ladder on the side." The forensic officer said, "The traces are the same as the last time, that is, someone standing in the mid-air at a height of ten meters, tied a rope on the beam, and put his or other people's head in the noose. ."
   Kuannian cried out in horror: "Fog Dog!"
   "It must be a foggy dog." Mu Nian echoed in horror.
   "Please stand up and check the ceiling," Yamazaki said, "and the surrounding walls, to see if there are any traces of rivets or the like."
   After a while, the forensic officer said: "No, there is not a hole."
"What about the rope buckle? Is it a looped rope buckle? You can make a large loop from the skylight and put it on the beam, and then let it tighten in the middle." Yamazaki said, "So you can jump from the skylight by yourself or people Go down."
  The forensic officer said: "No, just an ordinary knot."
   "That's it, even suicide is impossible." Megome police department asked, "Mori, what do you think?"
   "This..." Maori's sweat came down.
   At this time, there was the sound of the car humming outside, Mei Daizi smiled at Lan and Yuanzi: "Breakfast is here." Then she ran out.
   Lan and Yuanzi with a frightened look said, "One, together." He said and followed.
   "Call them to cook more breakfast." Yamazaki said loudly.
   "I see." Mei Daizi said without looking back.
   "Megome Police Department, you shouldn't have time to have breakfast, right?" Yamazaki said, "Come together."
   "Is there enough for us?" said the Megumi Police Department, "ten people have come."
   "The ingredients must be enough." Yamazaki smiled.
  Momemo police department smiled: "Then we're welcome." Then he laughed loudly, "First put the body down, and then prepare for breakfast."
   After the body was put down, the forensic officer took a look and suddenly said, "The police department is different from the last time. There are two strangulations on this man's neck."
   "What!" The Megome Police Department was taken aback, and then asked quickly, "Where is the thickness?"
  The forensic officer said: "It's the same thick, so it must be this rope."
   Maori said, "In other words, he was hanged after being strangled to death."
   Megome Police Department asked: "When is the time of death?"
   After a while, the forensic officer said: "It is preliminarily determined that the time of death was from 10 to 12 last night."
   "The last time I saw Abbot Tianyong was about 9:50, at the entrance of the bathroom," Maori said, "I saw him walking toward the bathroom."
   Xiunian said, "Brother Kuannian saw that Mr. Maori was about to wash, and asked me to inform Master Tianyong to come to the bathroom."
  Momemu police department looked at the four Kuannian and said, "That means Abbot Tianyong was killed by someone after taking a bath." Then he asked, "Can you tell me about your alibi?"
Kuan Nian said, "Master Tianyong came out at about ten and twenty, followed by Mu Nian and Xiunian. Tun Nian and I entered at about ten and forty. Later at about eleven, we went Notify them, Mr. Yamazaki, and then I will go back to the room."
   Yamazaki said, "From 11 am to 11:40, Master Tunnian has been helping me clean up during this period."
   Tunnian said: "I went to take a bath later, and I returned to the room at about 11:55."
   Mu Nian said, "After I got out of the bathroom, I went back to the room at about ten and forty."
   Shunen said, "Me too."
   At this time, Mei Daizi, holding a bone stick, came over to inform that breakfast was ready, so she paused and had breakfast first.
   Looking at the things on Mei Daizi's hand, and sniffing the smell in the air, Yamazaki smiled and asked as he walked, "Isn't this a dogleg?"
   "Yeah." Mei Daizi bit off a piece of meat, nodded, then chewed a few times and swallowed, then smiled, "Tengu is also a dog, come to me when she gets angry."
   "Tell you bad news, these two incidents were not done by Tengu." Yamazaki smiled, "It was man-made."
   "What? No?" Mei Daizi complained, "Really."
The breakfast for the ten policemen consisted of egg fried rice with beef and miso soup. The four of Kwannen consisted of rice and pickles with Kencho juice made from radish tofu and other vegetables. The police department and Maori consisted of rice, grilled fish and pork sauce. , Yamazaki, Conan, Yuanzi and Lan are toast, vegetables, ham slices and fried eggs with milk, a total of seven-inch cake, Meidaizi has two roasted black dogs and two seven-inch cakes with vegetable juice.
   Around seven o'clock, the breakfast in front of the mountain gate is over. At this time, a car drove up, and a woman and a man came down. The woman was the granddaughter of the abbot of Tennaga, Miss Kikuno, and the man was her husband, the heir to a large temple in Saitama Prefecture.
   Back to the confinement room, Miss Kikuno saw the body of Abbot Tianyong~EbookFREE.me~ and started crying bitterly.
   Tunnian said: "It seems that she was the one crying beside Zhongnian's body two years ago."
   Mu Nian said, "She used to come to this temple often before, but she never came back after that incident."
   Lan asked, "Are you afraid?"
   "No, Ms. Kikuno has a very good relationship with Zhongnian," Kuannian said, "so after Zhongnian's death, I don't want to come here again."
   Yuanzi looked at Miss Kikuno and her husband and asked, "What about them?"
   Mu Nian said, "I heard that the two of them have been engaged in a marriage contract since they were young."
   Kuannian said, "Yes, I was shocked when I heard it suddenly two years ago."
   Tunnian said: "We originally thought Zhongnian would be with Miss Juno, so that we would be fine in the future, otherwise, like now, if the master passed away, we might be homeless."
"I see." Mei Daizi said, "It must be the abbot Tianyong who instructed Wu Tiangou to kill Master Zhongnian in order to prevent trouble. Later, Wu Tiangou backlashed, killed the abbot Tianyong, and then fled. "
   Yuanzi said, "It seems to make sense."
   Lan said scaredly: "So, there is really a foggy tengu."
   Maori said, "Police Department, I think we should first search the residences of the abbot and Master Kuannian to see if we can find anything."
   Mumu Police Department said: "That's what I said, maybe the first scene is not here." Then he ordered his department to search. ...
