I briefly communicated with Detective Baima about the time and place of tomorrow’s meeting.
End the call.
Ye Gengyi did not return to the room behind him, but walked around the wing.
"Sure enough, there are traces of trampling everywhere. There is no way to determine the hiding place of the body in a short time... Huh? This is..."
He stood in front of a tree, his eyes fell on a wire inserted into the trunk, and he tapped it a few times with his fingers.
Dongdongdong...
Rhythmic echoes reached my ears.
"empty."
Ye Gengyi immediately hooked the wire and gently opened the bark, revealing a cloth package inside.
Tufts of black hair hung from the untied top.
This shape, this size... is it a human head?
The inherent impression of what happened in the Strange Museum made Ye Gengyi subconsciously think of words such as murder and dismemberment.
Could it be that the murderer is really the abbot, and that loophole that shouldn't exist in the first place is actually a part of some kind of ritual?
While his thoughts were spinning, Ye Gengyi observed the trees on the left and right sides.
It's a pity that no other hidden compartments that have been dug manually can be found from this location.
The team really deserves to have Tokyo Death and Osaka Black Chicken. You can encounter this kind of thing even if you go out to enjoy flowers.
Ye Gengyi summoned the electric shock gloves and opened the cloth package. Then he realized that he was overthinking...
Because there was only a woman's wig, a blood-stained bathrobe and a knife.
"Master... you have a great time playing."
Ye Gengyi put the things back intact for the time being.
Although it is possible to take it directly to the wing, considering that it may not have Abbot Shi Lian's fingerprints on it, and considering the age of this old monk, it is impossible to say that he still enjoys a certain reputation in the neighborhood.
Once the discussion reaches a stalemate, even if you point out the other party's method of hiding the blood stains, without clear evidence, the old monk's character can still deny that he did it...
After all, the wing is not locked, so anyone can climb this mountain.
So in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.
If you want to make the abbot and monk surrender, unless he confesses, the only way left is to arrest him.
Coming to the conclusion, he left behind a touch sensor. By the way, it was a new product he made using materials that can automatically degrade in the air.
In terms of function, it is only for warning use, and there is even the possibility of accidentally touching it. But it is safe and reliable, and there is no risk of reverse tracking.
Return to the main entrance.
Just then, Mouri Kogoro and others came out.
Um? Didn't you see through the trick hidden under the glass showcase... Ye Gengyi looked at everyone saying goodbye to Abbot Shi Lian with some strangeness. After thinking about it for a while, he didn't say anything else.
"Really, enjoying the flowers turned into mountain climbing..."
It's getting late.
On the way back to the parking spot, Mouri Kogoro kept mumbling.
On the other hand, Conan and Hattori Heiji looked worried, as if they still had doubts about the results of this investigation.
"how?"
Mouri Kogoro looked at the two of them, "Do you really want to stay here?"
Hattori Heiji frowned and said, "I still think something is weird. Does that little monk really need to make up such a lie?"
"It's possible that the little master fell asleep and caused this misunderstanding." Mao Lilan said.
"Yes, Heiji, let's go back quickly. Don't you have other things to do tomorrow?" Toyama and Ye looked at the deep dense forest around them and couldn't help but shudder.
"Hmm... Brother Genichi, what do you think?" Hattori Heiji asked Ye Genichi.
The question now is who is lying, Abbot Shi Lian or Little Monk Chuan Jiu.
However, judging from the fact that the young monk Denkyu took the initiative to find the famous detective Mouri Kogoro, no matter how neutral Hattori Heiji and Conan were, their emotions were still more inclined to the inference that there was indeed a corpse in the wing.
But... where are the traces?
After searching previously, they found nothing relevant now.
"Maybe the abbot has unique interests and hobbies that are unknown to everyone, just like you."
Ye Gengyi said ambiguously.
Originally, he thought that Conan and Heiji, the two detectives, would definitely be able to find the blood stains in the wing. Later, he would add evidence based on the opportunity, and then leave the job of going to the police station to make notes to the person who was more talkative in the reasoning. , go home and have a good rest, and go to Baima Tan to get money the next day... Ah, no, to protect his safety.
Moreover, the sensor he installed on the tree also sent back a signal a few minutes ago.
The old monk was indeed scheming. He knew that the famous detective was coming, so he decided to destroy the evidence directly...
However, now that he could return directly, Ye Gengyi was too lazy to get involved in this matter anymore.
"Huh? A unique and unknown interest..."
what is that?
Hattori Heiji and Conan were both at a loss.
…
We walked for another seven or eight minutes.
The group of people returned to the front of Shengyue Temple, just as they opened the door and got in the car, preparing to return.
The rearview mirror reflected the figure of Monk Chuanjiu chasing him with messy steps on the mountain road leading to the wing.
It's definitely not a good thing, just pretend you didn't see it...
Ye Gengyi started the car unmoved, but unfortunately it was still a step too slow.
"Brother Gengyi, wait a minute!"
In the back seat, Heiji suddenly leaned out and pressed the gear lever. His tone was a little more excited, "Denku, it's Denku who is chasing us!"
Ye Gengyi: "..."
(눈_눈)……
Monk Denjiu gasped and ran to the car, looking for help at Kogoro Mori who was sitting in the passenger seat:
"Mr. Mao, Mao, Mao Li...the body, the body has appeared again! This time it is in the center of the wing, with a knife stuck in her stomach!"
"What did you say!?" Hattori Heiji's expression changed.
The reason why he was excited just now was not because he was expecting death, but because he thought Chuanjiu might have come to tell him the truth. After all, he would definitely lose sleep tonight when he returned home with confusion. Who would have thought... This little monk was so excited It was such a breaking news when he opened his mouth.
"Is it the same room?" Mouri Kogoro also opened the door and got out of the car.
"Yes, yes, it's the same as what I saw that day!" Chuanjiu nodded.
"Quick! Go back and take a look!"
Conan, Hattori Heiji and Mori Kogoro made their decision straightforwardly.
The disappeared corpse reappeared... Could it be that the old monk was so happy to see the hunter that he was planning to perform his own unique performance art in front of the famous detective?
If that's the case, then you're making a mistake.
Because after these three people see the corpse, they will definitely touch it...
