Dong Dong.

"It's Mr. Mori, what's wrong?"

"Ahem, I'm sorry, Master Kuan Nian, we have something to ask you. Hey, these two kids were just curious, so they asked me to come over. Hahaha~~" The uncle was good at passing the blame and directly dismissed the blame.

Okino and Conan pushed out, while he pretended to be innocent from behind. Okino was so angry that his brows kept shaking. If he hadn't really had something to do with Master Kuan Nian, he would have come with his uncle to beat him to death.

At this time, Okino suddenly felt that Conan was much cuter, although he was still disgusting when he acted cute.

"That's it, then... you guys come in." Master Kuan Nian only hesitated a little and let the three of them in.

"Thank you, Master Kuan Nian, I'm really sorry, haha~" I have never seen a smile on the uncle's face. I have to say that with this smile on his face, even if you want to refuse, it will not be easy.

'emmmm...This uncle is really thick-skinned, and to a certain extent he is truly invincible.'

The four of them sat down separately, and Okino went straight to the topic without any ink.

"Master Kuan Nian, we are very interested in the matter you mentioned during lunch. Can you tell us a little bit about it? Of course, if there is any inconvenience, forget it."

"No, it has been more than three years since I mentioned that incident." Master Kuan Nian was not surprised, as if he had expected the arrival of Okino and the others. He just muttered a Buddhist name in a low voice and started a conversation that lasted for dozens of minutes.

narration.

"Actually, I had a junior brother three years ago..."

Omitted here...

It happened one night three years ago. A monk named Zhongnian suddenly died in Shanni Temple. The strange thing is that the way the monk died was that although he was simply hanged, the place where he was hanged was indeed four or five meters high.

It is a height that humans cannot reach.

In fact, Monk Zhongnian was hung from the beam of the solitary room, and the beam was as high as two stories. It was surrounded by towering walls. It was impossible to rely on human strength alone, not to mention committing suicide.

He killed. In other words, this is something only Wutian Dog can do.

"So that's it. I heard what you said, and Master Tianyong insisted that the young master three years ago was killed by Wutian Gou. Isn't that right?"

"Yes." Master Kuan Nian clasped his hands together and lowered his head with a slightly sad expression.

"Where are the police? What did the police say?" Although Okino is not a detective, he is also keenly aware that there must be an inside story about what happened three years ago. Maybe the monk Zhongnian was the one who presided over the murder. Of course, another possibility cannot be ruled out.

Maybe...Monk Zhongnian was really killed by Wutian Dog.

However, this possibility is now infinitely close to zero. This temple is just an ordinary temple. There is no magic or magic, so naturally it cannot do that kind of thing.

"The police were unable to do anything and gave up after two days of investigation."

"That's it..." Okino frowned. After hearing this, he was sure that this matter had nothing to do with Kiriten Dog. However, Conan seemed to have noticed something and shouted to let Master Kuan Nian take everyone to that room.

Let’s take a look at the solitary room, but before that Okino has a few questions to ask.

"By the way, Master Kuan Nian, can you think of anything when I mention Wutian Dog? Anything will do."

"The foggy dog? When it comes to the foggy dog, there is only that ancient legend."

'emmmmm...Isn't it the same as not saying anything?' Okino was a little embarrassed, so he changed his mind and continued to ask.

"Well, let's see if anything weird happened near this temple, like someone disappeared or died. In short, anything will do, the weirder the better."

Conan was stunned for a moment and looked at Okino with a different look, not understanding why the other party suddenly asked such a question.

"Something strange?" Master Kuan Nian was stunned for a moment, but he still thought about it carefully.

"Ah, I remembered it. Speaking of strange things, there is indeed one."

"What is it?" Okino looked happy and asked hurriedly.

Master Kuan Nian's expression was also a little strange, as if he was trying to organize his words, and he spoke slowly after a long while.

"How should I put this? It's really strange to say it. In fact, our place was quite popular with tourists a few years ago, and there are many peach trees near us. Young people from outside like to go camping there.

But what’s strange is that here, people who come to camp here disappear mysteriously every year.”

"Missing?" Conan, who had not cared about it at first, also became more energetic. As for the uncle, he was still like that, as if everything had nothing to do with me.

"Yes." Master Kuan Nian was very sure.

"Do the police know about this?"

"The police have come several times, but there is no news about the missing people so far. They gave up over time, and even the business with us is getting worse and worse. Now there are very few people coming here to travel.

.”

"Can't even the police find out the reason?" Okino continued to ask.

"Um."

"It's really strange. How could someone disappear for no reason? Not even the body was found." Okino seemed to have caught something vaguely, but he didn't catch anything.

"Hmm...Master Kuan Nian, did all those tourists disappear in Peach Blossom Forest, or did they disappear after returning?"

"I don't know much about this, but according to the police investigation, it should be like this."

"That's it. Thank you, Master Kuan Nian."

"You're welcome. Now let me take you to that room. This kid must have been waiting for a long time."

"Ah, hehe~ No more." Being called out by Master Kuan Nian, Conan scratched his head in embarrassment.

"plz follow me."

A few minutes later, the group arrived at the exclusive confinement room of the temple.

"This place was specially built to detain monks who broke their precepts. Please come in." With that said, Master Kuan Nian took out the key from his pocket and opened the lock.

"Huo, this place is really big." The uncle looked up and saw that the roof was really as high as two stories, and there was indeed a beam in the middle that penetrated the walls on both sides.

"Hey Master Kuan Nian, is Master Zhong Nian hanging on the top beam three years ago?" After pondering for a while, Conan used his cuteness skills again to shamelessly obtain information.

"Yes, Junior Brother Zhongnian was tied there with a rope."

Originally, he had no interest in this matter, but as he walked, he noticed something strange about the wall on one side of the door.

"Master Kuan Nian, don't you think the wood here is very new? The color is obviously different from other parts. What's going on?"

"Oh, well, actually this place was broken down three years ago, which happened to be the day that Junior Brother Zhongnian died."

"That's it...Okay, now that we've finished watching it, we should leave. I'm really sorry for bothering Master Kuan Nian this time."

"No, I also hope that Mr. Maoli can unravel the truth of that incident. Although the host has always insisted that Wutian Dog committed the crime, the four of us brothers don't think so. Okay, I've finished my words, if there is anything

If you have any questions, you are welcome to come to my room to find me. You can go back to your room and do your homework first."

"okay."

After Master Kuan Nian left, the three of them looked at each other with strange expressions.

"Uncle, it seems that there is another hidden story in this matter. Why don't you investigate and maybe you will find something interesting?" Okino encouraged him without leaving any trace, with the attitude of 'it doesn't hurt to stand and talk'.

Uncle, but he just won’t be fooled and his attitude is quite firm.

"Humph, no one has given me a commission fee, so I won't investigate. I might as well go back and drink some wine and have a good sleep, hahaha~"

"Okay, I know it. Come on Conan, it's time for us to go back."

"Hey, what do you think about this?" Conan whispered, glancing at the uncle walking in front.

"What do you think?" Okino pretended to be confused. Conan could also see clearly that this guy just didn't want to get involved in this matter. He was so angry that he had no choice but to pretend he didn't hear.

"Hey, I'm serious. I feel like what Master Kuan Nian said just now was just to let the uncle investigate the incident three years ago. Also, the expressions of the other three people during lunch were also...

It’s a bit strange. In fact, Master Tianyong’s reaction was a bit too intense. In short, the people in this temple gave me a very strange feeling.”

Okino spread his hands indifferently, "So what if it's strange? Don't forget that you are a detective. There is no murder case now and you can't investigate anything. Besides, that was all three years ago. Even if there is any evidence, it will be too early."

It was destroyed by the murderer. Besides, instead of thinking about what happened three years ago, I only care about another thing that Master Kuan Nian said."

Conan blinked, then thought of something and blurted out, "You mean the missing tourists!"

"Yes, I always feel that the disappearance of those people is not that simple." Okino really feels this way, and is planning to ask Koizumi-san to take a closer look after he goes back, maybe he can find some clues.

"Indeed, I also feel that something is wrong. Even the police can't do anything about it. It's so strange."

"Okay, you'd better restrain your curiosity, be careful if the foggy dog ​​gets unhappy one day and eats a kid like you, haha~~"

"Hey, Kiriten Dog is just a legend that deceives children, and it can't deceive me..." Conan's face darkened, and he silently cursed Okino Ippo in his heart, then hummed a little tune and walked towards his little girlfriend to act coquettishly.
