"What? Are you telling the truth? Brother Maori, but didn't you just say that this is probably not a homicide?"

When Officer Megure saw Mouri Kogoro's sleepy posture, he perked up for a moment and asked enthusiastically.

"Yes, I thought this was not a murder at first, but not long ago, I saw through the tactics used by the murderer this time."

"Huh? Trick? Then, Mr. Maori, please explain carefully, what trick did the prisoner use to hang the victim on such a high suspension beam without leaving any traces?"

At this time, Officer Megure's tone was obviously a little curious.

"I don't know if you still remember what Mr. Miyamoto said not long ago. He said that he heard the sound of water being discharged from the waterfall in the middle of the night."

"And that's the sound the killer's tactics will inevitably make."

"However, because there is already a very strong sound of water flowing over the waterfall, generally speaking, people staying in the room will not notice the change in the sound of water flowing. Only Mr. Miyamoto and Mr. Mr. Shibata discovered this flaw because he appeared in the corridor."

"Otherwise, the plan adopted by the murderer would be difficult to detect."

As soon as these words came out, one of the four monks present changed his expression.

Not only that, but what Mouri Kogoro said next made his heart sink to the bottom.

"Just now, I asked Conan to ask the four masters about last night's situation. It was what you said that allowed me to determine who the murderer was."

"But before we reveal who the culprit in this case is, let me first explain the murderer's method of hanging Abbot Tianyong on a beam nearly ten meters high."

"As to why there was no trace of dragging, the suspect hung the abbot on the beam. This is because the two of them were actually floating under the suspension beam together, and the prisoner used a rope to hang the abbot on the beam."

"You said they floated. How is this possible? It's not like a foggy dog. How can humans float in the air?"

Officer Megure obviously couldn't understand.

"It's true that people can't float in the air, but what if it's on water?"

"On the water?"

Officer Megure became even more curious.

"Yes, it's on the water. I think the prisoner must have used this method. Everyone should be able to see the waterfall flowing down from the skylight. If the water from this waterfall can be introduced through the skylight, the room below can be If the door is closed tightly and the entire room is filled with water, wouldn't it be possible to float below the ceiling by borrowing a tool like a rubber boat?"

"However, when filling the water, the prisoner also needs to seal the top of the kayak with a plastic bag, so that there will be no traces of being soaked on the body of the deceased."

"But can such a wooden room really store water?"

After taking a look at the room where the murder occurred, Officer Megure asked another question.

"Officer Megure, you are wrong, because this is a room used for confinement, so we have specially treated the walls of the room, using a multi-layer structure, and the waterproof function can definitely be achieved. "

Before Mouri Kogoro could explain, Monk Mu Nian, who was standing aside and specialized in carpentry, couldn't help but explain.

"Is that so? But how did the murderer lead the water from the waterfall into this room? There is obviously a long distance between the two."

Officer Memu, who was slapped in the face continuously, couldn't help but feel a little superior.

Then, from the skylight, a large wave of water fell directly into the room, just falling on Officer Megure, which relieved the anger in his heart.

"Of course we use wooden boards. As long as the gaps in the wooden boards are sealed with tape, it will become a very good water-conducting channel when turned over. In this regard, the forensics team discovered that there are a large number of cherry blossoms attached to the gaps on the back of the wooden boards. Petals, this can be a good explanation. This is because all these cherry blossom petals are adsorbed by the adhesive tape."

"I don't know if you have noticed that there are still some dried cherry blossom petals left on the wall on the upper floor of this room, which will fall to the floor from time to time. This is because after the room was filled with water yesterday, the water flowed along. It is caused by petals that enter the room due to water flow and adhere to them.”

"Then how did the prisoner save money in this room? How did he drain out so much water?"

"Of course it's through the hole in the corner of this room. I think the reason why this big hole appeared is because the prisoner slightly damaged this place and the water spurted out under the huge pressure of the water."

"This also explains why Mr. Miyamoto heard the sound of water being released suddenly last night."

Officer Megure was no longer in charge, but was still thinking about life. Conan continued to reason in the voice of Mouri Kogoro.

"After explaining the methods used by the criminals, let me now explain who the real criminal is."

"First of all, let me explain here. Calculated based on the water flow of this waterfall and the width of the wooden boards used by the prisoners, the water flow introduced into the room is about ten times that of the tap. If you want to fill this room with water, you will need to It will take at least two or three hours, so in this case, the prisoner must stay in this room until the case is over last night."

"Master Mu Nian, do you still remember that you said that last night, your scream caused the hammer in your hand to fall to the ground, making a huge noise?"

"Yes, I did say that."

Although he was a little panicked, Monk Mu Nian still spoke calmly.

"Then, here comes the question. When Conan asked Master Xiunian, his answer was that he didn't hear any noise last night. In this case, wouldn't it have a considerable impact on what Master Mu Nian said? Contradictory?"

"So now I can ask, Master Xiunian, how should you explain this issue?"

"Ah, I forgot just now. In fact, I have heard it before, whether it was Xiaolan's scream or the sound of Senior Brother Mu Nian's hammer hitting the ground."

Seeing everyone's eyes turned towards her, Xiunian quickly explained.

But it was better not to explain. With this explanation, everyone's eyes immediately turned to suspicion.

"Master Xiunian, maybe you don't know, it was not Xiaolan who screamed last night, but me."

Xiaolan on the side also nodded.

"By the way, Conan also helped me find the evidence that can directly prove this series of things. It's on Officer Megure's hand. The tape attached to the wooden board that flew out due to the impact of the water flow. I think it's on He must still have Master Xiunian’s fingerprints.”
