Conan: I am the murderer

"I was thinking about you."

Furu Quanyi was indeed thinking about Xiaolan just now, but it was not about the unspeakable, but the mission plan for the night.

However, after feeling the hostility from Ke Lan, Gu Quanyi suddenly found that she was more suitable for that thing than Xiaolan.

"I just heard the host say that the foggy tengu, I was wondering if Xiaolan would you be afraid at night."

Gu Quanyi looked at Xiaolan with some curiosity.

Tengu is one of the most common yokai in Sakura Country, with a red face and a long nose, and the related stories are all murderous and terrifying.

"Master, master, he... Told you about fog and fog dogs? "

Kuan Nian looked at Furu Quanichi with some surprise.

"Well," Xiaolan nodded: "Mr. Host said that foggy tengu is most likely to appear on this kind of rainy day. "

"Brother Kuannian, can you tell us what the Fog Tengu is?"

"Could it be that the 'case' you just mentioned is related to the Mist Tengu?"

Ke Lan found that Kuan Nian seemed to care very much about the three words "fog tengu".

And that "incident" was mentioned many times, but no one elaborated on it, which made Ke Lan's curiosity become heavier and heavier.

"That incident..." Kuan Nian hesitated in his tone: "It's still not a good thing." "

"By the way, Little Master Kuannian, is there any beer in your monastery?"

Maori Kogoro doesn't care much about what kind of tengu it is, anyway, it's mostly a story made up by the temple as a way to attract tourists.

If it weren't for the fact that Ke Lan, the "little daughter", was there, I am afraid that Xiaogoro would have taken Xiaolan directly in the car for the night.

"Sorry, we don't have beer in the monastery."

"But if you want to drink, our master has some collections."

Seeing Maori Kogoro's longing look, Kwannian couldn't help but tell him.

"Uncle Maori, please ask them to elaborate on that incident."

"Brother Kuannian seems to be very afraid of that incident, did something strange happen?"

Ke Lan found that his words could not attract everyone's attention, so he came to pull Kogoro's clothes.

"Well, just listen to the story... Little Master..."

Maori Kogoro saw Ke Lan's excited look, and was about to ask...

"Māori?" Xiu Nian's eyes lit up, and he looked at Kogoro with some excitement: "Are you the famous detective?!! "

"How is it possible... How could Maori Kogoro suddenly come here..."

"Ahem, that's right, I'm a detective, Maori Kogoro!" Kogoro straightened his clothes and said with a full spirit.

"I didn't expect that my reputation had spread deep into the mountains, it seems that I am already famous, hahahaha!"

Maori Kogoro is still as arrogant and thick-skinned as ever.

"The day Zhongnian died, it was also like today, with a light rain..."

"At that time, Zhongnian was practicing in this room, but the next day he suddenly disappeared, and there was a hole in the wall..."

"It took several days for Mu Nian and I to find out that Zhongnian was hanging from a high beam..."

"The wood in this room is very strong, and if you want to destroy such a big hole, I am afraid that only the legendary fog and fog dogs have a way!"

As Kuan Nian spoke, he felt more and more strange about it, and a scared expression appeared on his face.

"Mr. Māori, with your wit, you will definitely be able to unravel this incident, right?"

Xiu Nian was not at all as scared as Kwan Nian, but instead looked at Maori Kogoro with a look of anticipation.

[I'm afraid Xiunian has been paying attention to detective-related information in recent years, which is why he thought of the name Maori Kogoro so quickly. ] 】

Gu Quan looked at Xiunian, who had a somewhat excited face, and thought of Xiunian's brother who was killed, Zhongnian.

Two years ago, at the Sanni Temple, Zhongnian fell in love with Kikunai, the granddaughter of the monk Tenyong, but Tenyong was disgusted with poverty and loved the rich, and did not want his granddaughter to marry a poor boy like Zhongnian, so he killed Zhongnian with a plan and made up the matter of the Kiritengu.

However, what Tianyong didn't know was that Zhongnian also had a younger brother, who is now Xiunian, and he felt that his brother's death must not be simple, so he hid his real name and came to the Sanni Temple to investigate clearly.

In the end, on the night that Maori Kogoro and the others entered the temple, Xiunen learned the truth from the drunken Tennaga, so he used the same method that Tennaga had killed Tadani two years earlier, murdered him, and avenged his brother.

"Such a high beam, and there is no trace of anyone standing on it at all..."

"Don't think too much, in my opinion, this is just a simple suicide."

Maori Kogoro waved his hand handsomely, saying unreliable reasoning, and extinguished Xiunian's expectant gaze.

"But at that time, Zhongnian had already had a marriage contract with his master's granddaughter, and it was impossible..."

Xiu Nian still wanted to say something, but Tianyong was already shouting for everyone to go to dinner.

"After eating, I finally heard good news."

Hearing the meal, Kogoro left first very invisibly.

......

"Ke Lan, Kuan Nian said that Zhongnian's death was because of the Wutiangu, after you heard this story, would you be so afraid that you had nightmares at night?"

During dinner, Gu Quanyi quietly talked to Ke Lan.

"I'm not afraid of these deceitful legends."

"Actually, it's you who are afraid, brother Guquan, I didn't expect you to be a coward."

Ke Lan is an authentic atheist who takes the opportunity to mock Furu Quanichi.

[It's not good, what did this guy Guquan think of again?!! 】

Noticing the smile on Guquan's corner, Ke Lan suddenly felt a little bad.

"Xiaolan, Xiaolan~"

Crossing Ke Lan's little head, Gu Quanyi easily talked to Xiaolan.

“...... Can you accompany me tonight..."

As soon as Gu Quan finished speaking in a low voice, Xiaolan hesitated, but finally nodded.

"Sister Xiaolan, I want to play poker together!"

Ke Lan could clearly hear the words of Gu Quanyi and Xiaolan above his head, and shouted at the moment.

[Gu Quan, this guy really didn't want to be faceless, he actually said that he was afraid of foggy dogs and asked Xiaolan to accompany him overnight. ] 】

[Lonely man and widow in a room, who knows what will happen!] 】

Ke Lan found that Gu Quan made it clear that he wanted to pursue Xiaolan, and naturally he wanted to add a kick to stir up his good deeds.

"You just said that you are not afraid to come, you better sleep obediently with Uncle Kogoro at night."

Gu Quan smiled and caressed Ke Lan's little head.

"The foggy tengu and everything is a lie, so I'm not afraid."

"I just want to play poker!"

Ke Lan emphasized again.

Hearing Ke Lan say the three words "fog sky dog", several monks in the mountain mud temple all acted in one shot.

"Speaking of which, is the 'Mist Tengu' you just talked about different from ordinary Tengu?"

Maori Kogoro pulled the food and found a topic in passing.

Just now, Kuan Nian and Xiu Nian only talked about the incident, and did not introduce the fog tengu in detail.

"You, where did you hear that..."

Mu Nian and Tun Nian didn't know that Kogoro and his party already knew about the case, and they were a little surprised to hear this.

"Master, he..."

Hide-Nian was about to introduce the identity of Mori Kogoro, but Tennaga raised his hand and signaled silence.

Xiu Nian doesn't know now, in fact, Tianyong is the murderer of his brother, so he still retains his respect for Tianyong.

"It's okay, I accidentally said I missed Zui just now."

Tennaga remembered that when he was scaring Maori Kogoro in the entrance, he had mentioned the word Kiritengu.

"It's just a boring and old legend, since the guests are interested, then I'll talk about it."

"Mist tengu, legend has it that it will appear on rainy nights and sneak into the village like fog."

"Break the walls of the house with terrifying force, hang people from tall trees, and then slowly eat them!"

"Legend has it that the people who were taken away by the Mist Tengu were all young girls with fine skin and tender hair, such as..."

Tianyong said as he spoke, and the expression on his face became more and more distorted: "For example, these two little girls here can easily be used as prey. "

[The combat effectiveness is so strong, but I am frightened by this kind of story of deceiving children, it's really ..."

Seeing that Xiaolan seemed to be afraid, Ke Lan couldn't help but comfort: "Sister Xiaolan, it's just a legend, and the foggy dog doesn't exist." "

"But what they said about the incident of loyalty is very similar to the Mist Tengu..."

Xiaolan has been afraid of this kind of terrifying story since she was a child, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the foggy dog really existed in this deep mountain.

"That incident was either suicide or homicide, how can there be monsters in this world..."

Before Ke Lan finished speaking, he only heard Tianyong's roar.

"Who is it? Who told them about that incident?!! "

Tianyong looked at his four apprentices and was furious.

"Master, that gentleman is Detective Mori Kogoro."

"With him, he will definitely be able to find out the truth of the incident two years ago!"

Kuan Nian had been practicing with Tianyong for the longest time, and he was not very afraid of Tianyong's angry appearance, and immediately explained.

"Detective ?!!!"

"Sure enough, you came to investigate that incident!"

Syllable!

Tianyong slapped his chopsticks on the table and got up angrily: "Mr. Detective! Tomorrow morning, please leave the temple immediately! "

Kogoro didn't expect that his identity would make this old monk become so irritable, and he was suddenly frightened, so he could only nod his head blankly.

Tianyong looked at his four apprentices and said solemnly: "This is the end of dinner, you are not allowed to discuss that incident again, and immediately go back to your room to prepare for sleep." "

Kuan Nian, Mu Nian, Tun Nian and Xiu Nian could only bow their heads and train, silently collect the dishes and chopsticks and go back to the room.

[It's really strange that this Tianyong host, his apprentice is dead, and he is not willing to let people help investigate. ] 】

[Are elderly people willing to believe those legendary things?] 】

Ke Lan looked at the back of Tianyong's departure, and thought thoughtfully.

"Xiaolan, shall we play something else tonight..."

On the other side, Gu Quanyi had already begun to discuss with Xiaolan.
