Chapter 124 The clown is actually me

There is a big difference between the neon fog tengu and the flower gardener tengu, which is also the tengu of the legendary "tengu eats the moon" and the beloved dog of the Jade Emperor's nephew Erlang Shen.

The legendary Kiriten Dog is not a dog, but a tall, strange guy wearing Shugen monk robes and high-toothed clogs, with wings, a red face and a long nose, holding a feather fan and a treasure mallet. His appearance looks a little bit like a neon dog.

The abbot monk of Hong.

They usually live in deep mountains and have unimaginable strange powers and super powers. They are a very powerful type of neon monster.

Therefore, there are generally two opinions about the origin of foggy dogs in Neon:

One theory is that the legend of Kiritengu was introduced to neon along with flower growers and merchants in the Edo period, and was subsequently adapted to a certain extent by people during the spread of neon.

Another theory is that the fog tengu is the fear and awe of the ancient neon people towards meteors, and the name is adapted from the tengu in Chinese mythology. The neon book records that during the reign of Emperor Qinming, there was a huge thunderstorm

A meteor streaked across the sky. Sengmin said to the emperor: That is not a meteor, it is a tengu.

For the Neon people, the existence of the foggy dog ​​is a very scary thing, because it is a common legend that the foggy dog ​​will often come out of the mountains to eat people during the full moon, and also likes to hang people in high places.

However, in neon as a concrete expression of the divinity and mystery of the mountains, Kiritengu has a somewhat higher status than other monsters.

Therefore, in various legends, not only evil appears, but in fact there are quite a few that appear in the form of good gods. Among them, the most famous Kiritengu is probably the Oni Ippogan of Kurama Mountain, who took in the Yoshitsune family when the family was in ruins.

He killed him and taught him martial arts, military skills and sorcery, and finally made Yoshitsune take revenge.

Hearing the word foggy dog, Mao Lilan, who was afraid of ghosts, trembled subconsciously.

Judging from the scene, it does look like a foggy dog ​​committing murder.

The dead monks Zhongnian and Abbot Tianyong were both quite tall, and the windows above the monastic chamber were so small that it was impossible to climb up with the corpses on their backs. Even if they tied the rope around their necks and hung them up, there would be traces of them on the hanging beams.

Traces of dragging.

Of course, it is also possible that the murderer climbed onto the hanging beam first, and then pulled the body up from the hanging beam. However, the hanging beam was very thin and it was impossible to stand firmly on his feet, and it was probably difficult to bear the weight of two people, so this case did not seem to be possible.

possible crime.

However, excluding the case of suicide, plus there is a big hole in the wall, and the body is hanging from a cantilever, it is very similar to the legendary foggy dog ​​murderer.

But the Memu Police Department, who had heard this once, was very speechless and said: "It's really stupid. There is no such monster in the world. They made holes in the walls and hung them from the ceiling, all to fit in with the previous legends.

Yes, just to hint to everyone that it was the foggy dog ​​that fell from the sky and took his life. Either this was suicide or murder. Anyway, it couldn't be the foggy dog ​​killing someone."

Although the Memu Police Department could not figure out the modus operandi of this case, he was a staunch materialist! He immediately struck hard!

"Police department!" At this time, a criminal's voice came from above the house. Everyone looked up and heard the criminal say: "It's just like two years ago. The dust on the beams on both sides is clearly visible. It's completely invisible."

There are no traces of any contact.

Also, although some dust has fallen off the suspension beam in the center, there is only a rope hanging on it, and there are no traces of dragging. It seems that this time, too, it is a suicide."

"It's not a suicide!" Aoki Song said with a serious face, and then said to the criminal above: "We all know the situation. You should exit first and be careful." If you fall, even if someone is holding you, you will be afraid.

Also get hurt.

After hearing Aoki Song's words, the Memu Police Department was shocked. He quickly looked at Aoki Song and asked, "Aoki-kun, have you seen through this modus operandi?"

Aoki Song nodded, "After checking this monastic room, I already had a preliminary idea in my mind. Although this case seems to be a possible crime, it is not a truly impossible crime, but further evidence needs to be found."

Identify the murderer."

After speaking, Aoki Song looked at Saito Kazuma aside and ordered: "Saito, you lead a few people to investigate along both sides of the stream flowing down from the waterfall. If my reasoning is correct, you should

We can find some things on both sides of the Taiwan Strait." As he said this, he approached Kazuma Saito and whispered a few words to him.

"Yes!" Saito Kazuma immediately responded after hearing the words, and then ordered a few criminals who had a good relationship with him, and hurriedly left here with him, running to investigate.

Later, Aokimatsu did not give Megure Police Department and others a chance to question him. After giving orders to Saito Kazuma, he immediately walked out of the monastery and walked towards the place near the waterfall. Then he squatted down and inspected the paving on the ground.

Comes with slatted flooring.

Then I discovered that one of the floors had been cut off at the connection with other floors, and there were obvious gaps and cracks, which meant that this floor could be dismantled.

Aoki Song gently lifted the board up with his hands, and then he saw many cherry blossom petals stained in the gaps between the boards.

Seeing this, Aoki Song narrowed his eyes. Sure enough, the modus operandi has not changed.

Qingmusong put the floor back, walked around the monastery again, and then walked back into the monastery.

At this moment, two more people appeared in the ordination room, a young lady wearing a pink and purple coat with shoulder-length hair, and a monk wearing a high-end suit.

In the meantime, the young lady was lying on the body of Abbot Tianyong who had been put down, shouting in pain, "Grandpa, Grandpa, why is this happening..."

Aoki Song approached Megure Police Department and asked: "Who are these two?"

Without waiting for the reply from the Memu Police Department, Kuan Nian said: "She is the granddaughter of the abbot, Miss Kikuno."

At this time, the Memu Police Department continued: "I remember that two years ago, she was the one suffering next to the body of Master Zhongnian!"

"Yes, she used to occasionally come to this temple to relax, but since that incident, she has never come here again."

"Grandpa, grandpa..." Ms. Kikuno cried very sadly as she lay on Abbot Tianyong's body. A monk in a suit on the side quickly stepped forward to comfort him.

Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri asked curiously: "Who is that person?"

Monk Mu Nian replied: "He is Miss Juno's husband. They just got married a few days ago. I heard that he is the heir to a large temple. The two of them made an engagement when they were very young. I was married two years ago."

I was really shocked when I heard the abbot mention this, because I always thought Miss Kikuno would end up with Zhongnian."

In Neon, monks of certain religions can drink alcohol and eat meat, get married and have children, engage in politics, and even organize monk soldiers. The most famous one is the monk Dokyo who almost usurped the throne and became the emperor during the period of Emperor Suitoku.

"Ah!" Mouri Kogoro was shocked when he heard this, "The monk Zhongnian who died?"

"Yes." Mu Nian nodded, "Because the relationship between the two of them has always been very good."

Tunnian, who was standing nearby, also said: "Miss Juno's marriage seemed to have given Senior Brother Zhongnian a huge blow back then, so he did such a stupid thing."

"No, both cases were homicides." Aoki Song interrupted at this time.

"Ah! Everyone was shocked and subconsciously looked at Qingmusong.

"I have seen through the murderer's modus operandi, and now I am waiting for Saito and the others to come back to see if I can find irrefutable evidence to identify the murderer!" Aoki Song said rather pretentiously.

When the Mumu Police Department heard this, his eyes lit up, "That's great."

Ms. Kikuno was originally crying on the body of Abbot Tianyong. When she heard Qingkisong's words, she subconsciously raised her head to look at him and asked excitedly: "Officer, are you telling the truth? My grandfather really

They were killed!"

Aoki Song nodded, "It's true, Miss Kikuno, you can rest assured that we will definitely catch the murderer."

"Then I beg you, please be sure to arrest the murderer." Upon hearing this, Miss Kikuno stood up and bowed to Aoki Song.

After Qingkisong bowed slightly in return, he looked at the Memu Police Department on the side and gathered together to say a few words to his novelist.

After listening to Qingmusong's words, the Mu Mu Police Department's eyes suddenly widened and they subconsciously looked at Qingmusong.

Seeing Aoki Song nodding seriously, he said: "I understand, I'll give the order right now." Then he summoned Takagi Shed and whispered instructions to him. After Takagi Shed received the order, he immediately ran out to take care of it.

Here, Aoki Song looked at Maori Kogoro and the others and said: "Detective Maori, Xiaolan and Conan, I have something to ask you. Please come out with me." Then he looked at Monk Kuan Nian and the others and said.

: "You guys, please cooperate and stay here and don't move around casually, so as not to arouse unnecessary suspicion. Thank you."

"Okay!" Maori Kogoro responded, and then led Mao Lilan and Conan, and followed Aoki Song out of the retreat.

Aoki Song led the three people to the other side. After making sure that his conversation would not be heard by anyone, he looked at the three people and asked: "Uncle Maori, you guys rested here last night. Could you please tell me if anything happened last night?"

Something, or what noise did you hear at night?"

He remembered this case. It seemed that the three of them got up in the middle of the night, but he had forgotten the specific reason for getting up, so he needed to confirm with the three Maori people.

When Mao Lilan heard this, she thought of the "good deeds" she had done naughtyly at night, her face turned red, and she quickly shook her head in denial: "No, nothing happened!"

"Oh?" Aoki Song saw Mao Lilan's expression and immediately thought there was a story in it. "Xiaolan, you don't know how to lie. I look at your expression, it doesn't look like you are lying."

really!

Then I heard Kogoro Mouri say angrily: "No wonder, Xiaolan was very scared after listening to the legend of the Kiriten Dog told by Abbot Tennaga last night. She woke up Conan and I when she got up to go to the toilet in the middle of the night.

He even naughtily wore a foggy dog ​​mask and stood behind me, scaring me so much that he woke up everyone in the temple."

Aoki Song's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately asked: "Uncle Maori, were everyone in the temple really woken up at that time? Are you sure? When was the time? Did you see it with your own eyes, or did you hear it from others?

"

Mouri Kogoro was stunned when he heard this, but when he saw Aoki Song's serious expression, he also put away his careless attitude. He dragged his chin with his hand and thought for a while, then said: "I remember it was around two o'clock in the morning.

Xiaolan was frightened and screamed.

Then Master Kuan Nian heard the sound and ran over to check. I only saw Master Kuan Nian with my own eyes. But early the next morning, when we got up, we saw that the other three masters had not rested well and looked sleepy.

So I took a look and asked them.

Master Xiunian said that he studied the scriptures until late at night last night. Master Mu Nian said that he was woken up by my screaming, and then he couldn't sleep well at all. When I asked Master Tun Nian, Master Mu Nian said

On his behalf, Master Tunnian could not sleep a wink all night because of this."

Qingmu Song heard the words and analyzed: "In other words, Master Kuan Nian is Uncle Maori who you saw in person, Master Mu Nian told you about it, and Master Tun Nian was answered by Master Mu Nian on his behalf, but it seems

The two seemed to be living in the same room.

In this case, only Master Xiunian, because you didn’t ask deliberately, and he didn’t deliberately say this, and I don’t know when he fell asleep while studying the scriptures last night, so I don’t know yet whether he knows about this.

thing."
