Yoshikage Kira will save Renri

"What are you doing, Yingsheng?"

Before Yingsheng stood up, a familiar voice came from the door.

"You... Monk Youxian! I'm... really sorry!"

"Because you didn't come back after serving the tea, so I'll take a look... Is there anything wrong?"

"No, nothing...!"

Seeing Yuxian Nakajima coming, Mr. Kuchiki, who had just confirmed the wound to Hideo, took the initiative to remind him.

"You are his master, right? He is already injured, let him rest."

"Injured? Did you hit somewhere, Yingsheng?"

Hearing Mr. Kuchiki's words, Nakajima Yukin knelt down on one knee, grabbed Yingsheng's right hand and rolled up his sleeve, and saw the large bruise.

"Oh...you won't be able to work anymore. But why...you didn't tell me, Yingsheng?"

"...!"

"Of course it's because you were the one who beat him, Monk Youxian."

"what!?"

What Kyoko Kirigi said made Monk Youxian frown, and asked Yingsheng.

"Yingsheng, what did you say...?"

"He's not brave enough to tell you about you, how about admitting it honestly?"

"What reason does the poor monk have to beat Yingsheng! Please don't think that Zen monks are violent people just because of the warning during meditation!"

"Why lie? I remember that it is impossible for monks to lie."

"This little detective benefactor wants to say that the poor monk broke the precept not to tell lies? When did the poor monk tell any lies!"

Nakajima Yuxian's voice was loud and majestic, and he was obviously angry. Kyoko Kirikiri also remembered that he said that he was not very good at controlling his temper.

"Do you just like lying to yourself so much, so happy to lock yourself up here?"

"I don't understand you!!"

"It doesn't matter what it means!"

Not intending to be intimidated at all, Kyoko Kirikiri, who looked much shorter than Nakajima Yoshida, walked up to him.

"As a practitioner, there is one thing you still understand, right?"

"What... puff!"

Kyoko Kirikiri kicked Yuxian Nakajima mercilessly in the stomach. What is surprising is that this girl, who was only a junior high school student, actually kicked Yuxian Nakajima, a big middle-aged man. Fell outside the door.

"Yu, Master Youxian!?"

Yingsheng saw Master Youxian being knocked down to the ground, and then left in silence, Yingsheng followed immediately.

"Xiao...Xiao Wuqie, it's not good for you to do this, how do you know that it was Monk Youxian who beat you?"

"That's right, Mr. Imagawa. Think about the words and deeds of Monk Youxian after he came here, and you will understand."

"Words and deeds? Ah...!"

Mr. Imagawa didn't react for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, he knew what Kirikiri Kyoko meant.

"It seems that I have figured it out. Originally, Mr. Youxian obviously didn't know that Yingsheng was injured, but after Mr. Kuchiki reminded him, he grabbed Yingsheng's hand and rolled up his sleeve."

"Ah! Speaking of which, I really only said that Yingsheng was injured, and I didn't say that there was an injury on his arm at all!"

Nakajima Yuxian's attitude is very unnatural, Kigiri Kyouko never thought he was an unscrupulous monk, but this time he would rather violate the monk's rules and lie than admit that he beat Hideo.

I feel that what he cares about is not that he hit Yingsheng, so what is his lie...?

"Is this related to the case..."

If you ask Yoshikage Kira, maybe he will understand that Kyoko Kiragiri thought so and stood up.

"I'm going for a walk."

Obviously resisting, but being a detective made her want to know the truth, Kyoko Kirikiri walked out of the room with this conflicting feeling.

As soon as Kyoko Kirikiri left, Daisuke Kuchiki couldn't sit still and said to Imagawa.

"Imagawa-kun..."

"what happened?"

"That old man... Insu, let's go see him. I want to ask him about Kanno and... Suzu."

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

According to Koizumi Mahiru, Renxiu's residence is in front of the field behind the main hall.

"I always feel that we, Kogiri, and the others are already attracted by this mountain. Imagawa, do you think that girl named Suzu is... the missing girl that Koizumi mentioned?"

"Won't that make you a monster that won't grow up?"

"Indeed...but it's also possible that it's her daughter. The name and clothes are very similar. Ms. Suzuko disappeared 13 years ago, and that little girl looks about twelve or thirteen years old.

If Suzuko-san was insulted by the bad guys after that, and was rescued by Renxiu at that time, then... "

It is not surprising that the second Suzuko, who was born as a daughter in this mountain, grew up and was mistaken for the same person.

"But if that's the case... what about the song?"

"Ms. Suzuko probably learned this song when she was pregnant, and sang it. Then Suzu was born, grew up wearing the same kimono, and sang the same song, and that was seen by others.

That's why there is an interval of more than ten years in the testimony of eyewitnesses. "

It sounds logical to say so, at least it feels more reliable than the monster girl or something.

"The original Suzuko-san...?"

"Probably died after giving birth to the child."

"Then who will teach the child that song?"

"Of course it's Mr. Renxiu, he probably taught this song to mother Suzuko."

This should be the true face of the kimono girl singing in the mountains, if you think about it according to common sense...

The two went to Renxiu's residence. On the way, Imakawa saw a small field.

"Field? In this kind of place... what can be harvested?"

Soon, the two saw a hut located in the mountains, which looked very lonely, and it really gave people the feeling of a place where the outsiders would live.

"It's here...huh!?"

"what......!"

As soon as they opened the door, what Kuchiki and Imagawa saw was the face of a monk, whom he knew.

"Ku... Kuchiki-sama and Imagawa-sama!?"

"Mr. Too!? You are Mr. Kuwata Tsuneshin's follower, but why are you here...?"

"It's because I'm receiving his charity..."

From inside the house, a voice that felt very old made Imagawa and Kuchiki look into the house.

"Mr. Renxiu..."

"I got extra food from him to eat."

Compared with this residence, Renxiu's appearance doesn't give people the feeling of an extraterrestrial expert. With a short and thin body, only his stomach looks bigger, and his eyes are almost closed, not so much an extraterrestrial expert. , more like an ordinary old man.

"Mr. Insu, may I excuse you?"

"Okay, please come in."

"Then... the poor monk will take his leave first."

After Toxiong left, Imagawa and Kuchiki walked into Renxiu's residence together. In the living room, except for the burning charcoal fire and a teapot, there was nothing else to be seen.

"Excuse me... when did you start here?"

"Born with nothing, I've been here since I was a man."

"You were born here? What about your parents?"

"He died a long time ago."

"That means you, like Zhetong-kun... are orphans?"

"I have childhood memories, but they seem to be gone."

Very pale answer, if not lying, Kuchiki and Imagawa are a little suspicious that the old man in front of him jumped out of the stone.

"Then... where is Zhe Tongjun?"

"I rescued Zhetong from under the rubble during an earthquake in the past. That is to say, he was born with nothing..."

"Then what about Miss Suzu?"

"I don't know if it was 12 or 13 years ago... I picked it up when I was dying under the cliff."

"..."

If Renxiu is not lying, does it mean that Suzuko abandoned this daughter after giving birth to Suzuko?

"Mr. Renxiu, have you met Ling's mother?"

"No."

"Then that kimono is...?"

"It was there when I saved her—"

Kuchiki thought about it, that is to say, when Renxiu picked up the bell, it should have been wrapped in a kimono, so there was a kimono to wear.

"Why is it named Bell?"

"There is only one word 'bell' on the amulet."

"Ugh... Imagawa-kun, Suzu is Suzuko's daughter after all!"

"But...Miss Ling's song is...?"

"That child, she didn't know when she learned it."

Renxiu seemed to remember quite clearly, and replied one by one.

"Have you learned it? Does that mean you taught it?"

"I didn't deliberately teach her, but she quickly memorized and sang."

Hearing this, Imagawa, who was roasting by the fire, felt that there was still something wrong, or it was obvious that there was something that didn't make sense.

"Where did you learn it?"

"If I want to say it, it's because I grew up listening to it."

"Whoever raised you sang this song?"

"Exactly."

Sure enough, it is very strange, if the bell that sings now is learned from Mr. Renxiu, and Mr. Renxiu learned it from the person who raised him, and has been here since birth....

Imagawa directly realized a problem, not in the present, but in the past.

Ms. Suzuko 13 years ago, why did she sing that song? There shouldn't have been girls singing in the mountains wearing kimonos 13 years ago.

"I can only explain it this way, Imagawa. Someone saw Ms. Suzuko 13 years ago, and then everyone saw Ms. Suzu in a similar place more than ten years later. This time, Ms. Suzu sang.

Because there is a full 13 years between them, so if there is confusion, it will be recorded as 'the girl who is singing' twice. "

Kuchiki seemed to see that Imagawa was wondering something, and tried to explain.

"Is...is that so?"

"Speaking of which, Mr. Renxiu, it may seem that I am a bit nosy, but it is better to entrust the bell to others and let her receive education?"

"When I rescued her she was very weak and didn't know what was going on because she couldn't speak.

It took quite a while for her to recover, and when she was finally able to walk, Suzu... lost her way in the mountains when I wasn't paying attention. "

"Is it when you are just able to walk?"
